 Description of the problemWhile driving approximately 40mph on a six lane divided road, the wrench caution light appeared (indicating transmission/throttle malfunction). The engine rpm immediately dropped and began fluctuating around 1,000 and the vehicle began to shake violently. There was absolutely no response to accelerator inputs. The driver was able to maneuver the vehicle clear of traffic. The maximum speed that could be attained at the fluctuating rpm was 14 mph. It is a miracle the vehicle was not in rear end collision as the posted speed limit was 45mph. Car was allowed to idle at the reduced rpm while driver inspected the engine and pressed the accelerator. The car was turned off and back on (with a little bit of trouble turning over). The incident occurred once on 26aug2013, four times on 13sep2013, and once on 14sep2013. The car has not been driven since the last occurrence. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who recommended taking it to a ford dealership due to only having 1,400 miles left on the powertrain warranty. The service department was able to pull p2111 code. After receiving an exorbitant quote for the repair ($230 for part, $280 for labor) with no estimated delivery date for the backordered part, the repair was denied to allow for further research. The dealer has absolutely no qualms releasing the car with a known malfunction, presenting a hazard to the driver and others on the road. A car that immediately decelerates should be considered as dangerous as an uncommanded acceleration. To prevent serious injury/death, ford should issue and immediate recall for the failing throttle body.

    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.
