Description of the problem	I was driving to work on i75 at 75 mph when my 2010 ford escape lost power dropping to less than 20 mph. I was able to get from the left lane to the berm three lanes to my right. I waited about 5 minutes and restarted the car driving about 100 yds. When it happened again. I turned the car off and waited about 20 minutes then restarted and was able to get to work on side roads with the car surging and jerking along the way. I took the car to huntington ford the next day and they could not find a cause. The following day i received a letter from ford regarding what huntington referred to as a "limp home" mode which let take to a dealer and have the throttle body reprogrammed, which i did. The car was ok for a few days after that and then started stalling and surging again. I called the dealer and they said i should replace the throttle body but that even though it was under an extended warranty i would still need to pay for the replacement.
