Description of the problem	I was driving from san diego to orange county on interstate 5, which is always a very busy highway around 50 mph when the car did a slight hesitation and then a quick surge and then lost power. It did not die but was only moving at 4 mph and the gas pedal did not have any power, no response at all. I was in lane 4 of a 5 lane highway and finally was able to get to the left and pull off in the center of the interstate. I turned off the ignition and set there for a few minutes trying to gain my composure. The car started right up and seemed to be okay. I took the car to the ford dealer the next morning and they said it was a throttle body problem but would take 8 days to get the part and it is not covered by the warranty. The throttle body unit usually does not have to be replaced until 100,000 miles. I have 34,000 miles and maintain my car as recommended by the ford motor company at my ford dealership. I believe the unit must be defective and should be recalled before someone is seriously injured or killed. It was extremely scary not knowing if at any minute another vehicle would run into the back of my car going 4 mph on a busy interstate!
