Description of the problem	While at ~45mph, i eased off the accelerator to go into a left hand turn. My f150 then lost all power and shut off (no power steering, etc), and there were 2 tracker trailers coming in the opposite direction from me. I was barely able to complete the turn with the momentum that i had before the truck died. The truck re-started without any issue. This had happened before 2 other times with large gaps of time in between (once in november 09 and the other time a week before this latest incident). The other 2 occurrences were similar (highway speeds of 60mph), and restarting without any issue or error codes. An error code was generated (finally) with the incident described at the top of this complaint, and i brought the truck to the dealership. They diagnosed a faulty throttle sensor which was replaced. At less than 50,000 miles i did not expect to see an issue with this sensor, and certainly i would expect the truck to default into the "limp home mode" described in the manual, which it did not. There were several other similar complaints for this on some forums and i felt it might need some attention.
