Around july 2018 my expedition started just randomly cutting off while driving with my 2 children in the car. After getting the codes read it came up as the throttle body. We had the throttle body replaced and it seemed to help until about nov 2018 then instead of cutting off while driving the car would jerk hard and then you could not accelerate over about 50mph. Multiple things started flashing on the dash like…

This is the 3 rd time the wrench trouble light came on. The car losses all power and can only idle ( roughly ). Shut engine off for a few minutes and car starts up and goes just fine. Brought it back to dealer and they said no code is stored. Nothing they can do about it. I was told that the problem is usually a throttle body but since no code they can't replace it even though i have a ford extended warranty. So i…

While driving the engine goes into "limp mode". This has happened 8 times in the past week at speeds of 50mph or even 15mph driving normal on a highway, country road, and entrance to a parking lot. This is incredibly dangerous because the vehicle has absolutely zero power and driver must place vehicle in neutral and coast to a safe place to pull over. Once pulled over, the vehicle has to be turned completely off and…

While driving the gas pedal gets stuck and immediately loses power to accelerate. The yellow check engine wrench comes on as the engine sputters. Your only option is to coast to a stop and shut the car off. This comes with no warning and is very dangerous as we almost got rear ended as we were going 40 mph and just lost everything in a moments notice. This is the second time this has happened in 3 months. The first…

The diagnostic was completed at a ford dealership and it turn out to be the throttle…
