Than again on July 23, 2022, was on interstate and wrench illuminated and again stalled. 75 Mph traffic and thank goodness we was able to clear traffic to side of road. Limped home. 1st incident mileage was 118395. And second incident 128024.3

While driving highway speed ~65mph on a straight highway vehicle showed wrench light and loss engine power. Driver had to the side of the highway without speed control. Ignition switch was turned off and back on and the wrench light was gone and the vehicle drove normally. The wrench light turned on again at ~40mph on a city street going straight a few days later. The driver again had to pull to the side and reset the ignition to regain accelerator control. Vehicle diagnostic was run and no codes were stored.

Vehicle suddenly looses engine power while driving and goes into safe (or limp) mode. Stepping on the accelerator does nothing, it doesn't even rev the engine, it's similar to being in neutral. It has occurred on 3 separate occasions, months between events - first, while attempting to accelerate onto an interstate highway, we suddenly lose engine power while attempting to merge into the right lane of traffic. We forced to slide over onto the right shoulder and stop. Second occurrence happened while driving down a city street. We suddenly lose engine power and are forced to turn onto a neighborhood street and come to a complete stop. Third time, again driving down a city street, suddenly lose engine power but there was no where to pullover or side street to turn onto. We forced to stop the vehicle in the middle road. Luckily no one was directly behind us. In all cases, turning the engine off, waiting a minute, and then restarting the vehicle "fixed" or cleared the issue and we were able to continue driving. No obd-II codes thrown after the event. Ford dealer replaced the electronic throttle body and so far we haven't seen the issue.

Last week, my 2017 Ford Expedition experienced a situation where while driving the vehicle suddenly stopped running. I was forced to coast over to the side of the road when this happened, as the engine was running but my accelerator pedal was not operating and the vehicle would not move. Fortunately, after shutting the vehicle off, I was able to restart it and continue driving. In the space of 24 hours this happened six (6) times. After the sixth occurrence, I drove to the Ford dealership and they diagnosed the issue as a throttle body and motor.
