Description of the problem	While driving on 70 mph speed limit highway, the vehicle without warning suddenly appeared to downshift dropping my speed approx. By 20 mph, then lurched at 50 mph until i pulled off on the shoulder. This was on a unlit stretch of highway and was very dangerous. I tried again to drive the vehicle with the same results, meanwhile the dashboard warning lights came on. I then pulled off the road and turned the vehicle off for about 5 minutes. When it restarted the warning lights were off and the car drove normally. With about a hour left on the trip, the car started to downshift and upshift randomly as i reduced my speed to about 40 mph on a 70 mph highway, which is very unsafe, so that i could make it home. The last time i had my oil changed, the service technician suggested that i change the transmission fluid. I felt like the old fluid may have been the reason why my car shifted in an erratic manner. So, i took the vehicle to my local ford dealer for the transmission service. This was on july 21, 2014. It was a about week later, that the vehicle began lurching again. This time i decided to try a full tank of gas with cleaner to see if that would improve the performance. It didn't. Finally, i made an appointment with a repair shop to fix it on aug 18, 2014. They were the ones that told me the fuel throttle body was bad and that's when i googled and found the extended warranty had expired on july 31, 2014. There should be a recall for this part, not just a bandaid to make it look like the nhtsa was concerned. It is a safety issue and also and expensive repair at $400. Nhtsa: do your job and force a recall on this part. You know it is unsafe.
