Description of the problem	On saturday, june 22, 2013, i drove 2. 5 hours north for one of my best friends weddings. I was on the interstate with cruise control set at about 70 mph when suddenly my car lost power. I was in the left lane with a semi behind me. Luckily the semi driver was paying attention and was able to move into the right lane before rear-ending me. I was able to move on the shoulder of the interstate and come to a stop. As i did, my escape acted as though it was going to die but did not completely. I noticed an open-ended wrench in the bottom left of my instrument panel and my check engine light was on. I turned the car off and looked through the manual to figure out what the wrench light meant. It said throttle control/powertrain. I was running late to begin with so i started freaking out. I turned my escape back on and everything seemed to be fine. Both lights went off so i put it in drive and got back on the interstate without any more problems. At first i thought maybe it was cruise control going out so i didn't use it the rest of the way. Once i got off the interstate, i stopped at a light and when the light changed i proceeded through it with my escape stalling as soon as i turned, along with both lights back on. I knew it was something other than the cruise. Once i got to the nearest town, i stopped at autozone and had them test it. Their computer showed tps/throttle body failure. I immediately started doing some research to find this part since autozone doesn't carry it. I was surprised to find out that no one can get this part and ford has been on back order for quite a few months. After the wedding, i drove back home with my car stalling many more times. Since then, it happens at least once a day, if not more. Twice, my car has stalled in the middle of a very busy highway intersection on my way to work, freaking me out i was going to get hit. Help needed soon!
