1 Engine Cooling System problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2011

There is no warning - my Ford Expedition just goes into engine fail safe mode and shuts off - no ability to steer, drive etc. Was traveling on highway at highway speeds (55+ mph) when this happened. The engine fail safe had come on before but was a bit scary upon driving at a speed. The dealership states that the throttle body needs to be replaced. My vehicle only has 55000 miles on it - and from reading other forums I see that this is a problem with a lot of Ford Expeditions. It is in the shop now (at a cost of $700) being fixed, I am going to request to have the old parts saved so I can keep for future reference. I believe this is a major defect that needs to be fixed as it will cause a death one day soon - as the vehicle shuts off during driving.
