 Description of the problemI was driving on i35 e in lewisville, tx when the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating, i had been traveling at approx 40 mph in rush hour traffic. The vehicle/engine was still on but i could not continue forward. I exited the highway and glided into a parking lot ( after nearling being killed by a large truck on the service road) the wrench light came on as well as the engine light. I pulled into a parking space and the vehicle started to violently shake. I put in park and turned the vehicle off. I waited a few minutes and started the vehicle with no issues. The vehicle idled fine and i could rev up the engine. I drove around the parking lot with no issues however the check engine light was still on. I tried going onto a residential street and when i accelerated above 20mph the vehicle would no longer accelerate and had to pull over and had the same before mentioned results. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed. I called a local ford dealership and i was advised it was most likely an electronic throttle body issue and they have them come in all the time. This needs to be recalled immediately as this very well could have cause a major accident.
