My wife was driving when it first occurred. She was driving on the busy interstate on a Saturday afternoon. Traffic was heavy traveling at speed limit or higher (60+) she noticed that the car was slowing down...she also noticed that even when she pressed to accelerate the car still slowed down until it was going about 25mph ON the FREEWAY. She took the first off ramp and called me. I told her to try turning the ignition off for awhile and restart it. It worked and she proceeded home on the less busy roads until she was almost home. To get to our house she had to drive uphill and the problem started again. The car literally crawled home 10mph.
The next day I took the car out and could not duplicate the problem. Tried several times during the week to get the same error icons and action...no cigar. Finally about a week later I was coming home climbing the same hill and the car duplicated her experience. Car slowed to a crawl. Wrench lights (both) came on. Car would only go 10mph until we reached home..approximately half mile. Next day I left my car to be repaired. The repair shop replaced the throttle body. It cost $600.
I called Ford and they would not cover the repairs. This is a very dangerous problem...and very likely will be responsible for a very serious accident in the future. It is a harrowing experience to be driving at freeway speeds and find that your car is slowing down and you have lost total control in a very dangerous situation. I did notice that when the car was slowing down that it was using the battery mode because it was draining rapidly.
