Engine cut-off going at 5 mph. According to aamco code p2112 appeared on their reader. This code has to do with the throttle actuator control system. Took car to local ford dealer and was told that the part, throttle body and motor asy., are on national back order. It took at two days or two weeks to receive the part. This is not acceptable; ford and their dealers should have this part available immediately. Does…

My car engine "stalled" (the engine was running, but there was no power from the engine to accelerate) while i was driving and in the process of increasing my speed up to the 55 mph speed limit after turning onto a major road. Since there was no engine power to accelerate, i had to let the car roll to the shoulder where i pulled over and restarted it. This has happened about 4 times in the last 6 monthsand i am very…

I didn't go after flooring it, and the car started bucking and jerking like crazy. It was in rush hour traffic. Thanks be to god that i was right by a ford dealership. It was a very dangerous situation to be in when your throttle goes completely out. That's what the problem was...i need a…

I took it in for service in january 2013 and was told that the throttle body needed replaced after my car stalled a few times. I was told then the throttle body was backordered. I tried again in june and was told that this is a common problem and they are still backordered. After that, i was told that i could simply take the key out and put…

I was traveling about 45mph when the car just shut off. Had to coast to side of the side of the road almost got rear ended. This has happened at least three more times in less than a week. The service department claims to know nothing about this problem. I'm sure the service managers are told to act dumb about this issue. I have read that other people have had this same issue. What will it take to get action,…

The first episode occurred when leaving a parking spot. Car would not go more than 2 mph and was chugging. The others (4-5 incidents) happened while driving, often at 30-50 mph. Sometimes it would be after a turn and during acceleration, others would be simply driving down the road. Car would stall, yellow wrench light comes on, and i would have to stop, shift to park and turn off the car, then re-start. It would be…
