My husband & I were on 80 west approaching the bay bridge in the middle of severe weather and packed traffic, when the engine fail safe mode flashed across the dash, it seemed to have no throttle power yet we were able to coast across to the side . We put the expedition in park & turned the key to the off position, sat and gathered our bearings (was a very scary situation, could have ended badly) and tried to figure what was wrong. My husband turned the ignition over and it started right up (left off approx. couple minutes), we continued to the San Francisco airport to pick our son up and returned home (3 hr drive), the expedition drove like normal as if nothing had ever happened. No check engine light on, temp was normal and all fluids at normal levels.
