I have two vehicles, same year, make and model that do the exact same thing. While driving the dash board goes dead and all of the gauges go to zero. Speedometer doesn't register, I can't tell when I need gas.

I was driving about 40 mph, and my car just randomly died after all the dashboard lights flashed on. At the time I chalked it up to being low on gas, although according to the gauge I still had a few gallons left. This was the first of many times this occurred!

While driving all controls are lost, e.g. brakes, steering (can�t say about lights as my experiences were in the daylight only).
The car rolls under its mass. You can�t steer, you can�t brake!!!
When the car comes to a natural stop and you were lucky enough to survive the situation, Shift the gear from D to P and turn the ignition � you are back on the road again.. !!!
This car is still under warranty and had all its 5K maintenance serviced from the FORD workshop!!!

Just driving along at around 45-50 mph and the vehicle just dies and steering locks up. Almost rear ended and had no idea what to do. Service Engine light then came on and so I got it started again and took it immediately to the nearest auto shop. They get two codes that come up which they then in turn say that it is the throttle actuator and or the throttle sensor and/or the throttle body that needs replaced. However, none of these parts are available due to being on backorder. If this is happening to Explorers, Freestyles, Mustangs and many other makes and models maybe the throttle body assembly was made by the same mfg. which is now bankrupt from what I have been told. Recalls need to be put into place before someone dies!
