Description of the problem | Electronic throttle body etb, dephi 6. The car all of a sudden drops the speed to an idle, produces a warning wrench on dash (p2112 or 2111 code) the vehicle loses power and barley moves. This happened about 3 times while i was driving with my family in car. I was able to pull off the road and restart the vehicle. Luckily i was not towing my trailer at the time. This happened on a road trip and it was fix under fords comprehensive cpo warranty at about 44k miles (11-2016) . Now the vehicle is only under powertrain warranty at 64k miles and the etb failed while i was making a left turn with oncoming traffic. This could have caused an accident. Unlike the first incident i was close to home and i have parked the truck until my appointment with the dealer (1 week away). We live in a mountain area with single lane mountain roads where there would not be an opportunity to pull off on to snow banked roads. Dealer has not said if they would cover this again since there is no recall. Ford has only given some of their vehicles with the same etb and pcm's installed an extended warranty but do people have to die to get a true repaired item or recall? |
