Electronic throttle body failure. The SUV considers the throttle body to be closed. Its clean as a whistle and can be moved without any problems. Ford escapes have this problem and use the same part. Its covered under a warranty. This problem causes the car to go into limp mode and lose all power while traveling at any speed. Could be dangerous for me and my family.
