Description of the problem	While driving at approximately 40 mph, the car began to shake and immediately lost power. The service engine soon light illuminated and the car would not accelerate in traffic. Luckily our house was within 1 mile of where the failure happened. After making it home we had the obd engine code read and it stated that it was an issue with the throttle body. We found out searching the internet this is a known issue and ford has extended the warranty for this issue to 10 years 150,000 miles. Car is 6 years old with 109,000 miles. After turning the car off and back on the service engine soon light was no longer illuminated. We immediately scheduled service at a local ford dealership. Dealership claimed they would not make any repairs under field service action number: 13n03 because the service engine soon light was no longer illuminated. They suggested we return when the car exhibits the issue again. In other words "come back next time your car fails while driving". This is a known issue, with dangerous consequences, and service was refused. We contacted ford customer relations and was told the car should have been fixed. They contacted the dealer and afterwards revised their statement, claiming the service engine soon must be illuminated for the repair to be covered under field service action number: 13n03. This is a known intermittent issue, and according to the servicing dealer "the code is cleared after restarting the vehicle 3 times". This was never mentioned when making the service appointment. If the burden of proof was on us, we would have taken the car immediately to the dealership. Now we are simply waiting for the failure to occur again so we can have the repairs made. Hopefully, the failure does not happen at highway speeds.
