Read in paper that you were looking at ford throttle body. I was in fast lane on i-66 on a friday afternoon. Suddenly car stopped. I was lucky there was room on left apron to pull off. Car restarted when i tried--went 1000 feet and stopped again; now in right lane and pulled off. Knew there was an off ramp 1/4 mile ahead and limped on apron with cars passing. The entire situation was very dangerous in my estimation.…

While driving my car on the expressway the wrench light turned on followed by the check engine light. The car started reducing speed even though i was pressing the gas. I pulled over to the side and the car started shaking. I had an obd ii machine in my car at the time and ran a diagnostic. Check engine code p2111 came up. After researching the code it says it has to do with the throttle body. I also noticed that…

I was driving down the highway when i noticed that i could no longer accelerate. I coasted to a stop, the car shaking as it came to a stop. I placed the car in park, turned the car off, and restarted. It started up fine, and then it happened again about 10 minutes later. After a mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem, i thought it was perhaps "bad gas" and moved on. Two weeks later, it happened twice, once…

I didn't think much of it at the time but it seems to do it…

Moving along at 40mph when car suddenly jerks and loses power. Orange wrench light comes on but my car stalled out in traffic. Turned key off and back on-car started and light was off. A minute down the road and car did same thing again. This continues to happen 5 days later. Very dangerous because car loses throttle power completely. I do not dare go down interstate with this problem. *tr

While driving vehicle, vehicle will suddenly "stall" (engine stays running, but loses all power). Can turn off engine, and restart vehicle and will run. This has occurred multiple times. Previous attempts no "code" has been stored, so dealer would provide no resolution to the issue. *js

Dealers were telling them it's a bad throttle body. *tr
