Description of the problem	The first incident occurred around june 3, 2013, but i don't remember the exact date. After backing out of my driveway and shifting into drive, as i accelerated through 2nd gear, it dropped out of gear into idle and i had no engine acceleration response from the gas pedal, no matter which gear i put it in. The wrench light also came on. After turning the engine off and restarting, the wrench light went out and the car worked normally. This happened approximately 5-7 times beginning around june 3, 2013 until i decided to take it to the dealership on june 18, 2013. I paid ford $120 to diagnose the problem. They were unable to find anything wrong, but did reset the shift points. It did not happen again until july 12, 2013. While driving to work at approximately 60mph, the engine dropped out of gear and the wrench light came on. I had no engine response with the gas pedal and had to carefully coast over to the service/emergency lane. While on the side of the road, i called ford and they told me after i brought my escape in, multiple escapes and fusions had come in with the same problem which was troubleshoot down to the throttle body. They ordered the throttle body and said they would call me when it came in. I turned off the ignition, restarted, and continued driving. Approximately 2 minutes after getting back on the road it happened again, only this time the check engine light came on along with the wrench light. This time after restarting the engine, the check engine light stayed on. I drove to ford and left it running so they could acquire any codes that were active. The throttle body was ordered on july 12, 2013 and ford has no estimate of a shipment date. The car is currently with ford awaiting the part while they pay for my rental. There are also two vehicles ahead of mine at the dealership waiting for the same part.
