While driving on the interstate, the vehicle lost propulsion and required the driver to pull off to the side of the road and restart the vehicle twice in a distance of five (5) miles. After speaking with a service technician at our local Ford dealership, he indicated that the issue is a problem with the throttle body. Apparently, this is an continual issue on this model and I was also informed this part (throttle body) is currently on a "national" back order. I would think that if this specific part is on a 'national" backorder, Ford should issue a recall because it is obvious there is a problem.
