Description of the problem	Serious and life-threatening malfunction impeded my ability to control my 2010 escape occurred while driving 50mph on a very busy highway. My escape stalled suddenly without any warning what so ever in the middle of the lane while driving on the busy highway. As i tried to continue driving, pushing the throttle pedal, the escape would not go,it slowed down suddenly on it's own. I was able to ease off the payment to the side of the lane; however, i was almost hit in the rear by a auto behind me before i could get off the payment. I was fortunate to have been at a place where i could ease off the payment. The highway is curvy and hilly. This scared me to death. A wrench light came on indicating a malfunction of the throttle/powertrain. The engine was running fine. I turned off the engine and waited a few minutes, then i cranked it and it cranked fine. The wrench light went off. I tried driving it again, and once i pulled back into the highway, giving it gas, it would barely go, so i eased back again. I called roadside assistance and had it towed to the dealership. After it was inspected i was told the electric throttle body had malfunctioned and needed replacing. It was the caused of the sudden stalling while i was driving. My life as well as others were put in a dangerous situation because of this malfunction. I understand that there has been a lot of complaints like mine already filed here. Ford should issue a recall immediately before any deaths occur. I had to pay $470 to get this taken care since my warranty was out 3/36,000. I was told that this was not covered by the powertrain 5/60,000.
