I WAS DRIVING 45 MILES AN HOUR DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY ENGINE IN MY 2006 FOR EXPEDITION JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND WENT INTO "FAIL -SAFE MODE". THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT INCIDENT TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I SHUT OFF MY CAR AS THE MANUAL TOLD ME TOO. AFTER 20 MINS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY. WHEN I ASKED "WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?", I WAS TOLD "IT JUST HAPPENS," AND "THERE IS NOTHING PREVENTATIVE THAT CAN BE DONE.". CONVENIENTLY THIS PART WAS NOT COVERED BY MY 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT FORD IS SO PROUD OF ON ITS USED VEHICLES. THIS REPAIR COST ME $609. THE NEXT DAY I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (2006 FORD EXPEDITION) ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/FORD/EXPEDITION/ENGINE+AND+ENGINE+COOLING+SYSTEM . I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO DISCUSS AND HE AGREED HE HAS BEEN SEEING ALOT OF THESE THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENTS AND ENGINE SHUTDOWNS ON THIS MODEL AND AGREES A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. I AM JUST THANKFUL MY 3 KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME AND PRAY THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER GAVE ME THIS WEB ADDRESS TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT, HOPING A RECALL WOULD TAKE PLACE. *TR
