Description of the problem	While driving at 40 mph the car suddenly lost forward motion even though the engine was still running; pressing the accelerator had no affect on the rpms; a wrench symbol appeared in dashboard. I turned the motor off; restarted and was able to turn around but the car stopped again as i was pulling into an intersection from a stopped position. After three more times of stopping and restarting the car, i was able to continue on and drove to the ford dealer about a mile from the incident. I was told the "wrench symbol" indicated transmission trouble. After their diagnosis i was told we needed a throttle body. The part is on national backorder, and i have now been one week without a car. I was told this has become a major problem everywhere and over 9,000 of this part are on backorder and all are needed to complete repairs. I was also told by the parts dept. That ford expected to need an additional 14,000 throttle bodies to meet the demand of the failing part. He also told me that the part has been re-engineered from the original factory installed part because of these failures. I have had to rent a vehicle at my own expense.
