Was driving on a busy city street when the car suddenly lost power. No response when i gave it gas. Turned on hazard lights, turned off engine. Restarted engine, put in drive, tried to move - it shook violently and noisily. With no shoulder to street, i was stranded in traffic lane until towtruck arrived. Had to go to ford dealership, where they performed "field service action 13b17." service order said "replace…

Vehicle received updated software in 2010 for the transmission via the recall. Continued with the same problem of shifting from park to drive and at higher speeds the transmission was slipping. Took it to three separate dealers and finally they did a visual and discovered the transmission was fried!!!! There weren't any codes off at the time either. Had to get a new transmission in 2011. Problem still was occurring,…

While driving the car will randomly stall out...the car will begin bucking, decelerate, lose power, and lights on dash will start flashing... Rendering the driver pretty much helpless. This problem happened on several occasions prior to fords throttle body assembly recall. Each time this happened ford was unable to determine the problem cause no diagnostic codes were present. This problem will occur and the car will…

I had just went thru a green light and my car felt like someone had a rope to the back of it and was pulling me back as i was trying to accelerate. I then noticed the wrench light on. I made it to work and when i was backing in to my parking space i felt it tug again. When i got into work, i googled the problem and this is what i came up with. My car barely has 60,000 miles on it and has been a great car and i'm…

Took car in to tropical ford in orlando for driveability recall. They claimed to reprogram the pcm. Now on sept. 6 the car is losing power and stalling out. Also the wrench icon is showing on the dash which in the manual states the issue is the throttle control/transmission. I will have the car towed back to the dealer sept. 8 to have repaired. I suspect is etb connectivity problem, a lot of similar…

I put the car in park and let the car run for about 1o more minutes…

The throttle went into limp mode and i was forced to abruptly pull off to the side of the road where the car sputtered with the wrench light on the dash. I started the car again, the wrench light went away and the engine started properly. I diagnosed the computer system and got two codes, p2111 and p2112. The throttle body is…

The next day while driving 55 mph at the intersection of two merging expressways the throttle stopped working. I was able to stop in the vee just as the expressways merged. It was extremely dangerous. Had it happened 200 yards ahead i may have been stuck in the…

As i pulled out onto a busy street going to work my car would not respond to gas, i had the pedal to the floor with no response other than a weak attempt at a lurch. I had to pull over (partially off of the road) into a neighbor's yard to avoid being hit by a large transport truck coming up on me rapidly. I pushed it into a "turned around" position and between pushing an the lurching got back home. The road i was on…

For several months the vehicle has been randomly shutting off mid-drive. Followed by that the check engine light and a wrench light would light up. A week ago we received letter in the mail from ford saying that our vehicle is eligible for new throttle body since there has been issues since manufactured, which perfectly explained our problem. We took it to ford, where they replaced the throttle body. However, only a…

Going 70 mph on i-75 and the car engine suddenly sputters and drops to idle at 1000 rpm. Gas pedal did not work and it was like the car went into neutral on its own. After having to try to get to the shoulder without getting hit from behind, i had to put car into park and restart the ignition. The car vibrated and jerked right before coming to a complete stop. Restarting the car corrected the issue, at least for the…

We had been driving for 175 miles on the highway with the cruise control set. The car suddenly lost power with no warning and started slowing down. The service engine light came on as did the symbol of a wrench. I pulled off to shoulder. The car was idling very rough. Stepping on the gas did not raise the engine speed. I shut the engine off and looked under the hood. There was nothing obviously wrong. I tried to…
