Description of the problem	Single owner 2010 ford f-150 fx4 with 58,000 miles at the time of the incident. I was driving down the freeway (i-10 in phx) at roughly 70 mph during rush hour when suddenly the truck lurched as if i had just driven through a deep puddle. A few seconds later as i was looking in my rear view mirror the rear wheels locked up and the truck began skidding uncontrollably; there were 3 to 4 distinct skids lasting approximately 1 to 2 seconds at a time as i recall. Luckily for me the semi-driver behind me was paying proper attention to the road and noticed me skidding to a halt despite the absence of break lights. He swerved and narrowly missed rear-ending my vehicle at full highway speed. After the semi passed i began to limp over to the side of the freeway going about 25 mph at this point, and i recall a few more jerky upshifts and downshifts while pulling over. By the time my truck was on the side of the freeway the dashboard wrench indicator was on and pressing the gas peddle had no effect. The truck had disconnected the throttle sensor input from the fuel injectors. After weighing my options for about 10 minutes i decided to turn the truck off and back on. Upon doing so the wrench indicator was gone, and the truck appeared to work normally. Since then i have driven the truck (cautiously and on high alert) another 1,500 miles and everything has performed nominally. I have had no other significant incidents with the vehicle prior to this one, nor have i noticed anything out of the norm prior to this incident. At the time of the incident i had been driving at similar speeds for about 20 minutes. The road conditions were both dry and very smooth and the temperature outside was low 80s at the time. The dealership has had my vehicle for 2 days and after a full diagnosis they have no clear explanation or fix for this potentially fatal malfunction.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
