I had just entered the freeway from the on ramp when the car jerked and started slowing, lost power steering and then lost power. I was almost hit by the car behind me- The gas pedal was to the floor and I was traveling at approx 35 mph on the freeway I had to limp across 4 lanes of traffic to get off at the next exit. It was an extremely scary experience to go from 65 to 35 in a matter of seconds with cars riding up behind you. The warning lights said it was an advanced traction control and hill assist failure. I pulled off at the next exit and was able to turn the car off and turn it back on tho see if that solved the issue. All the warning lights came back on- Still little to no power when the gas pedal was pressed to the floor. I was able to then go the extra 3 block to work and park. I called the dealership and got an appointment for the next day- 8-10 hours later after work was complete the car ran fine.. Check engine light was on but no more power loss, power steering was fine, all was well and i was able to drive home 35 miles. Dealership said it was the Throttle body that had failed, they replaced it and everything seems to be okay now.... We'll just have to wait and see if it stays that way. Ford NEEDS to do something about this as it seems to be a major problem in their vehicles.

ABS and traction control light turned on intermittently, I went and had it checked at the dealer they come up codeDU2Z and code DU5Z and code DG9Z and WT 56814 kit terminal that had nothing to do with my ABS. I picked up the car and still have the problem and when I have my foot on the brake for a while the ABS light turns on with the traction control light. One day I was going down a hill I hit a rock my tire started spinning I hit the brakes and the brakes locked up on me hit the brakes again and I have no brakes and put the car in low turn off the car open the door and the ABS reset itself after that I took it into the dealer to have it checked and they try to charge me for something I did not need nothing to do with my ABS brakes
