Description of the problem	While driving the car on the highway at typical highway speeds (60mph-70mph) the wrench indicator light comes on in the dashboard and the car looses the ability to accelerate any faster than about 10 miles an hour. We pull over, turn the car off and start it back up again and it appears to run fine. This can happen randomly one day and then not happen again for a few weeks or even a month or two then it does it again. Based on my research comparing other drivers posting about the same problem i believe this problem is due to a defective throttle body or what is sometimes called the etb = electronic throttle body. The problem is the result of the computer and sensors sending bad signals to the throttle body mechanism which then affects the air/gas mixture and adversely affects acceleration, this is dangerous and a safety issue. There was a recall on defective throttle bodies for ford fusions but it only included 2009 models and later models, but it did not include 2006 models. I have read of other people in earlier model cars from as early as 2005 posting on forums that they had the same issue, so i believe this wasn't only a problem on 2009's and later. Ford issues an extended warranty on the fusion of ten years or 150,000 miles. I don't know the name of the specific recall other than a reference to consumer satisfaction program 13n03. The problem sometimes is referred as the "limp home" mode. In conclusion, i would like our 2006 ford fusion to be included or qualified in the recall so i can fix this problem or at least get reimbursed once i get it fixed since it is a defect with the car.

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.
