Description of the problem	Driving on 3 lane highway in middle lane at approximately 70 mph and engine completely lost power. We (children and myself) were almost rear ended by a semitruck coming up from behind us having no idea that my auto lost power. I was able to pull off to the shoulder. Engine was still running. Car had no real power but was able to continue at about 5 mph for a few hundred feet up exit ramp to a gravel area where i stopped and regained my composure as i thought we were going to crash!!!!! I noticed the yellow wrench light was on in the lower left corner of the dash. Turned off engine unsure of what to do. At the time i was still about 100 miles from home so i tried to start the engine again. Engine started right up. Power was back. Continued to drive another 20-30 miles with again with one more issue. I had just brought this in to be checked before taking my family trip and i was told everything was good... Descriptions on the internet talk about a fuel throttle body issue which has symptoms that match what happened to this vehicle. First incident 11/2012, 2nd 3rd & cont 2013 now... This will be my 3rd time bringing back to the dealership - and i add that they are not calling back to schedule a svs appt.. I am filing compliant here and with ford.. I always purchased a ford - maybe now chevy .. Addtl note:. Car has had issues in the past month where it sputters a bit pulling out from a stop sign and has reved up to about 1500 rpm when out of gear right after starting.
