The wrench light came up on my car. It says it's the throttle control transmission. The car gave no sign or warning about this car throttle. The code coming up is p2111. I believe there was a investigation going on with my situation a few years ago. Is this a recall or something that can be fixed because of a recall?

There's been several occasions when i caused traffic jams or almost got rear ended since the car behind me didn't expect me to take so long to turn. A lot of times the power steering goes out when i'm stopped at a red…

My car has had a few recalls. I brought it to watertown ford and they did not fix it properly. I bought it at enterprise car sales, woburn ma. They were supposed to check it and it was not certified like they promised. From the first month the car had issues. It keeps showing the wrench and not accelerating properly. I can't afford to keep fixing it. I would like ford to buy back the car. For more than 11,000.00.
