2011 Lincoln Mkx

The car speed decelerating. I was driving on Freeway going 75 miles yellow wrench came on car decelerated to 45 miles an 18 wheeler was behind me and couldn’t stop almost hit me thankful the opposite lane was free and he was able to change lanes in time. Once lane decelerates it shut completely down. This could have cost me my life. The vehicle is in the shop took it before and because the light don’t stay on they can’t read it . I seen where there was a recall on the body throttle in 2017 I didn’t own the vehicle then. The light only appeared right before it decelerates this is the second time in 6 months the light never stays on. After the incident on Sat April 23; the light went off n the car drove smoothly but I cannot have this happening unexpectedly because this is too dangerous

We saw something leaking onto our driveway from inside the garage a couple weeks ago. I verified it was leaking from underneath the engine area of my car but didn't think anything else about it. A week later I went somewhere and was gone about an hour and came back and parked in the garage. I came back into the garage maybe a half hour later and it smelled like gas. I looked and noticed it dripping under the engine area again. I took my car to a shop (QualTech Automotive 620 in Austin, TX) and they called me today and said there was a fuel leak. They think it is by the rollover valve. I have not seen any pictures of this. They stated the only way to fix it is to replace the entire fuel tank. $$$$ There were no check engine lights or any other warnings to notify me of this issue. If I had not parked it in a garage and smelled the fuel smell, I might not have known about this for a while possibly. My SUV has 94,067 miles on it and has not had any collisions or anything like that recently that could have caused this fuel leak.
