| Description of the problem | My truck lost complete power on 8/3/19. Several different waning lights came on. Fortunatley, i was lost power on a straight stretch of road at about 30 mph. I was able to "limp" my truck back home. I have a code reader and it showed code p2112 "throttle actuator control system stuck closed". I searched online and found a ford customer service letter from 2016-2017 addressing this issue with an expiration notice of september 2017. I purchased the vehicle used in december 2016 and was never sent any notice. I find it incredible that ford knows about a defect that causes a vehicle to lose power suddenly, and addresses it with this bandaid level of service. It is a simple and inexpensive fix. I fixed it myself in less than an hour with a part purchased from ford that was less than $200. My concern is that ford did not notify me and will not stand by this dangerous defective issue. They have told me there was an expiration on that letter and they will not help me. Please force them to do an actual recall on this issue before someone is killed! Thank you for your time. |
