Description of the problem	On the morning of february 25th, i was pulling out of my garage when my car just stopped accelerating and the "wrench" light came on. It was barely idling, so i turned off the car and restarted it. It started normally, so i went on to work. That evening, i was driving on the interstate in the passing lane going approximately 75 mph when the car sort of lurched and then the "wrench" light came on and the car instantly started to slow down. I could not accelerate at all. I had to wait for traffic to move in the right lane, which was horribly dangerous, and then pull off the side of the road. I turned the car off and then restarted it. It took a second, but the car restarted and the wrench light was off, so i got back on the interstate again. That evening i started looking on the internet to see if anyone else had experienced this same problem, and that was when i saw that there was an investigation started by the nhtsa in regards to that very same problem occurring in several ford vehicles. This was extremely dangerous because when it happens, i have no control over the speed anymore and i am at the mercy of the cars all around me. I could have easily caused an accident that day. Then, about a week later it happened again while i was on a busy city street going approximately 35 mph. Finally, yesterday morning, march 20th, it happened on the interstate again. The dealer says there are no error codes, but they said they think its the throttle body and that it will cost about $300 dollars to fix. This should be a recall. This investigation needs to be concluded and a recall needs to be issued before someone is killed. This is extremely dangerous since it happens at faster speeds, while on the interstate.

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.
