Description of the problem	On july 4, 2013 i was driving my 2010 ford escape on i-235 south in oklahoma city at approximately 70 mph when the forward momentum of the vehicle dropped out and it began to decelerate. I attempted to continue forward momentum by applying pressure to the accelerator but with no response from the vehicle. I coasted the vehicle across lanes of traffic to the shoulder of the highway. Once stopped i placed the vehicle in park and the engine was sputtering and losing rpms. I identified the power train (wrench light) on control console was lite at which i observed the vehicle. I applied pressure to the accelerator to increase rpms at which no success was noted at that point i cut the power to the vehicle. I allowed the vehicle to sit for 5 minutes and then restarted the engine with some sputtering. At that point i applied pressure to the accelerator and immediately the rpms increased and the vehicle returned to operating normally. Similar action repeated on aug. 13, 2013 x 4 times on the same highway: once during morning traffic traveling at approximately 60 mph and then three times during evening rush hour traffic traveling 20-40 mph. Problem was identified as malfunctioning throttle body by ford dealership mechanic. Failure acted during high traffic situations which could lead to a potential accident or injury to operator and surrounding motorists. Upon further research it has come to my attention that there are multiple failures of throttle bodies in 2010 ford escapes which had to be replaced at the owner's cost and ford has not issued a recall for this defective component.
