The car will "shut down" (wrench error light) at any time, anywhere, any speed. Very dangerous!!! Error code p2111 throttle body actuator stuck open. I have seen numerous posts on this. Ford really needs to fix this!!! I will no longer let my child drive this car. So unsafe!! It happened to me several times a day probably three times in the last week. The vehicle is in motion, highway, city, straight, turns, fast,…

Electrical system problem. There does not seem to be a trigger in regard to rain, hot, or cold weather conditions or how it is being driven. I have had a ford dealership work on this to no avail. I will start with the safety aspect that is affected. It will do all of these things at once and then slowly come back online, sometimes the errors do not correct themselves. 1. No brake lights 2. No rear turn signal 3. No…

I am having major electrical issues which ford will not address. Sometimes this is intermittent, sometimes it is constant. Here is what happens: i get a barrage of errors on the dash, the radio and air conditioner will cycle on and off multiple times (sometimes will remain off); rear brake lights stop working, rear turn signal stops working. It does this randomly, sometimes for an extended period. I worry that…

I was driving on the freeway going 60mph when all of a sudden my cars power just cut off and it went into limp mode and had the worst idle at 1100 rpm until i turned off the vehicle. I then turned it back on and the limp mode light went away but a few more miles up it cut power again and almost caused a wreck as i had to quickly think and get to the side of the freeway. It happened 2 more times that day til i got it…

The car was in motion going down the interstate about 70 mph. All of the sudden the car speed dropped slowly until it reached about 20 mph with the gas pedal all the way to the floor and it would not pick speed back up. The service light came on and i pulled over. When the gas pedal was pushed while the car was in park it would not rev at all. Once the car was back in motion it would not go over 15mph. After the car…

My back passenger floor is soaking wet for no reason. I have had issues with my air conditioning. Dealership said i had a leak but could not find the problem. I researched when they couldn't find it. My car started to not only blow hot air, but started smelling moldy. My cabin air filter and the carpartment was full of water. The filter was soaking wet and full of mold. I change it and drained the water myself. My…

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford mustang. While driving 75 mph, the wrench icon illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle decelerated immediately. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and turned off. The contact restarted the vehicle and the wrench disappeared. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer assistance since the vin was not included in a…

When the car was about 3 years old, i started to feel a quick loss of power in the steering when making a turn. It had only lasted a second and only happened at low speed in parking lots but happen while i was driving so i took it to the ford dealer in fullerton ca. They said it was a software problem and they updated the software. The problem disappeared but then reappeared about a year later. I continued to drive…

With no warning the electronic throttle body will fail causing the car to rapidly decelerate to its idle speed. In my case it happened on a city street in heavy traffic while the car was in motion. The motorist behind me almost rear-ended my car, and several other had to come to a screeching halt. The problem is dangerous, since it can occur at any time in traffic. It continued to happen after turning the engine off…

Driving down an interstate a wrench came on the dashboard and car went into limp mode. Pulled off turned the car off and restarted it. Got to the destination ok but on the way back home the wrench came on again. Looked at the code and saw it was the p2111 code. It happened 4 times in the way, losing power and shaking. Taking it to ford tomorrow to find out if it covered under the warranty. There was no recall in the…

Defective electronic throttle body (etb) as per dealership diagnosis. Ford customer service is excluding mustangs from the customer satisfaction program 13n03 - which clearly states there is a problem with etbs during this time. Looking over the internet, it is clear that some mustangs where built with the same type of etb as the models covered under the program (fusion, escape, mercury mariner and mercury milan).…

My wife ,who is three months pregnant, was driving down the road when the wrench light came on and vehicle lost power and went into what i am hearing is "limp mode". The car losses power , never shuts off, it reduces the rpms to about 600 and speed to about 10 to 12 mph. When this happened to her she just barely got off the road before an 18 wheeler hit her from behind. When i arrived on scene i cut the vehicle off…

Received error code p2111, the car will bog down without notice and i cannot accelerate. This happens often and it does not matter if i am going slow or fast. The research i have done shows this to be a faulty throttle body. I found a website which shows "affected owners should contact ford and mention consumer satisfaction program 13n03." i plan on calling joe myers ford in houston, tx tomorrow 3/5/14. *tr

I was driving the car on a city street at approximately 30 mph. When i accelerated, the engine started extreme shaking and then shut down. Fortunately, no one was behind me, so i did not get hit. I then was able to restart the car, but each time i stopped at a light, the car would stall out again. I was able to get to a nearby ford dealer. They repaired the car free of charge (it was under warranty) and told me that…

After several miles uphill, the vehicle had begun to travel downhill. After less than one mile, the steering was unresponsive; driver's input assumed hydraulic response. There was none. The vehicle hit the side of a mountain; very narrow shoulder didn't allow for error. The car overturned. The 'black box' located in the steering wheel collects a volume of data except one important fact: steering wheel angle. The…

The operating frequency of pwm (pulse width modulation) led's (light emitting diode) is too low for some viewers! The external lighting does not comply with fmvss no. 108 specifies that lamps must be steady burning. Ford has failed to meet this requirement making for a very unsafe vehicle for night time driving. This affects them and other drivers being near this vehicle with the diminished safety margin. Note: all…
