In a few minutes i restarted the engine and it ran fine. I did some research and discovered that ford has a severe problem with the throttle bodies on this engine (i-4). This is a dangerous situation, if i had been on the busy interstate i…

As i was driving through an intersection taking a left hand turn, my car slowed down and was no longer responsive to my pushing the gas pedal. I had to roll through the intersection to safety and fortunately on coming traffic was far enough away that i was not hit. I had to turn off my car and turn it back on to fix the issue. I could have been seriously injured. My research showed me that many others are suffering…

While driving the throttle stops working (no response) and the engine goes into idle and displays wrench symbol on dashboard. When you pull over (if possible) and shut engine off and restart it resets and works fine. At first this was intermittent but on my 25 mile commute to work it happened about 8-10 times leaving me stalled in dangerous situations on highways and in middle of intersections with no safe place to…

Car lost all engine power and would not accelerate going down the interstate. Car was jerking and shaking. The car had a "wrench" light on the dash. Engine codes were p2111 and p 2112. After researching online, the issue is the throttle body. It is a sealed unit and must be replaced. *tr

I was driving home from work when my car stalled and a wrench light came on. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road, turned the car off and on, and drove to my mechanic. He drove around to try and re create the problem. After 100 or so miles it happened again and it turned out to be codes p2111 and p2112 which turned out to be throttle body codes. I had to pay to get the throttle body replaced because it…

Ongoing issue with acceleration developed into a malfunction in the throttle body. I had noticed intermittent stutters during acceleration and deceleration. This time, the car lost power to accelerate, vibrated violently, and forced me to pull over for fear of causing an accident. Now it is recurring and although the code erases and it seems to be fine, it will suddenly fail to operate properly and cause me to cut…

My car died out in the middle of the road after picking up my daughter from school. Luckily no one was injured... Yet. There are thousands of reports of this same problem and ford acknowledges the part as defective, although there has been no formal recall. Hopefully ford will do right by the american people before a horrible tragedy befalls a family due to their negligence. *tr

Car would stall while driving and the wrench and engine light would come on. Went to autozone to get a free engine check code. It was p2111. Upon further research, looks like ford had released a new throttle body part in its new versions without doing a recall on its past versions. Hopefully this can help saves lives incase someone gets stalled on the freeway going 70mph +. *tr

While going to first to second gear the engine suddenly shudders and i lost power and the "wrench" symbol on the dash came on. The engine was still running, very roughly, but would not accelerate. The brakes still worked and i pulled over. I was able to restart the engine with some difficulty. This has happened four times. The first time i thought i was in too low of a gear and stalled it. But since i realized it…

I went from 62 miles per hour, down to about 5 miles per hour in a few seconds, my wrench warning light and check engine light were on, i cannot believe that i was not rear ended or that i was not the cause of an accident. I pulled over to the side of the road as best i could, turned the car off. When i…

This is the second incident where i've been driving and the car started to lose power. The wrench light came on and the car started stuttering. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and shut the car off and restart. It started a little rough so i turned off the air, and it drove fine. I'm seeing a lot of comments from others that they are having the same problem and it ends up being the throttle. I'm now…
