Description of the problem	For the last couple of weeks while at stop lights or when the car was just idling i notice the car would shake/sputter/hesitate, like it was not getting enough fuel to the engine to idle, every once in a while but it did not stall out completely it would recover. Then while driving home on june 23, 2013 at 40mph i took my foot off of the gas pedal for a second to begin to slow down as i was approaching a red light, however, the light changed before i got to the intersection and then the car made a shutter/thud not a loud sound but you knew something has just happened, i thought maybe my transmission had just gone out because when i was pressed on the gas pedal it did not respond. I pushed the pedal all the way to the floor but nothing happened. I could not tell if the car really stalled out it seemed more like the gas pedal was just not responding. I lost speed rapidly and coasted into a parking lot. The first time i restarted the car the gas pedal still did not work but the car did go into gear so i thought it must not be the transmission. The second time i restarted the car i gave the gas pedal a couple of pumps before putting into gear to make sure it was responding that worked and i made it home. The car did hesitate and sputter when i was sitting still at the lights so i would put it in park and rev the engine until the light changed. I took the car to a ford dealership the next day and they informed me that the throttle body needs to be replaced and of course that is an out of pocket expense as my warranty is expired. How many of these complaint have to be filed before ford has to admit this is there fault for putting faulty throttle bodies in these cars and issues a recall ?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
