Description of the problem	On august 31, 2015 i was leaving an airport and accelerating to merge onto a highway. I believe i was close to 60mph when i felt something in my car change. All of the electronics were still working, so i knew it was not an issue with my battery. The wrench light appeared and i realized i was no longer able to accelerate. I immediately got over to the right lane and by this time my speed had dropped to 40mph. I was able to safely pull over and put my car into park. The rpms spiked and i turned my car off. After waiting a minute or so i was able to restart my car with no problem. I got back onto the highway and took my exit. Maybe 5-7 miles from the location of the first incident, i was driving approximately 40mph down a 2-lane street when the same thing happened. This time both the wrench light and the engine light were on. Once again i pulled over, put my car into park, the rpm's spiked higher this time. I shut my car off. I was again able to restart my car right away with no problem. In the 9 days since this happened i haven't experienced this problem again. I am extremely nervous my engine will shut off on a highway again, in a location where i will not be able to pull over safely. When i called ford they said my warranty covers the throttle body, so they have scheduled the throttle body repair for september 11, 2015. This is a very common problem, and i think ford needs to address this for the safety of all drivers.

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.
