Description of the problem	Nothing lead up to this event... I was driving on i-95 in rush hour traffic hit the gas and the car threw a warning "etc engine failsafe mode" which left the car in a state of having no engine power. I was lucky i did not cause a serious accident with cars traveling at a high rate of speed and this car just lost all power i did manage to get the car off the road and shut the car off then turned it back on and it acted as if nothing was wrong. I got the car off of i-95 and on to surface streets where it happened one more time before i took it to lincoln for service. According to the dealership pompano lincoln mercury the part (throttle body assy) is not a warranty item and even in an emergency cannot get the part for almost 30 days. I have to continue to drive this car as i cannot afford to rent a car for 30 days as well as spend the $900 for the repair. I have done some research and literally thousands of lincoln ls owners have experienced this throttle problem yet at this time ford has done nothing to make this safety issue right and as the demand is so high cannot even supply the parts for their customers safety.
