While driving my 2005 Ford Expedition on the Long Island Expressway, the check electronic throttle control light came on and the car completely died. I had to coast to the side of the road with my heart in my throat the whole time. Someone is going to get seriously injuried if not killed if this continues to happen while driving the 05 Expedition. Ford really needs to address this issue.
We have been experiencing same faults on a 2005 Expedition,with engine stopping and the message "Check electronic throttle". Ifirst went to AutoZone and they read the codes. They suggested replacing thethrottle sensor, which we did, but car stopped again. We had to replace thebattery in a month and this is the fix. The battery was almost 6 years old andwhen you first start your engine, it sucks too much load and gives these faultsto the computer. It never stopped since then (3 mo already). Sometimes we useto get the message 3 times a day.
