Description of the problem | 2016, purchased 2018. While driving to florida from indiana for vacation 7/6/19, on highway driving 80mph, vehicle check engine light came on and vehicle immediately lost power and we were able to limp to left side of highway spitting and sputtering, unable to accelerate and continue. Turned engine off and waited 5-10 minutes to restart. Vehicle returned to sounding normal. We were able to continue on to florida for 7day trip. Then driving home to indiana, while highway driving and accelerating to pass a car, dash wrench light came on and vehicle lost all power and we were barely able to get to the left unsafe small side of highway, up against a concrete wall... During heavy 3 lanes of traffic. Vehicle again spit and sputtered and barely able to move. We were unable to get vehicle safely off of highway. A tow truck had to be called to tow us to the next exit to a gas station. Vehicle turned back on and wrench light off but check engine light now flashing, we chose to continue driving the remaining 5hrs home going 50-55mph. Researched issue online and found this to be a throttle body issue, common with ford vehicles. Took vehicle to autozone for diagnostic scan and yes, the error code p2111 "throttle body actuator control system,stuck open" is what was read. This appears to be a serious and dangerous safety concern and i am afraid to drive this vehicle. This issue needs to be addressed with ford. I have already called ford and a recall was not identified with my vehicle, but this has been a recall with other fords in the past. There are class action lawsuits also. I will log a complaint with the attorney general office as well. I have already paid to have to many other repairs done on this vehicle but this one is certainly a safety concern. Looks like more money will need to be poured into this lemon by having the electronic throttle body replaced. Thank you |
