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,…

So the car has a actuator control system stuck open. I have had it at the ford dealership twice now and will be going back on monday again for the same issue. When it starts up it runs at the 1 rpm then it goes down from there, not letting the car getting any fuel or speed for it to go forward or backwards. I have cleared the codes and works for a few days but then it does it again. This last time the code wouldn't…

Normal driving on highway, speed around 50 mph, car abruptly loses power and goes into "limp" mode with flashing wrench light on dash. Car does not respond to throttle and barely moves with rough idle. After stopping and turning car off and restarting, problem is temporarily fixed, but comes back within a few minutes. Cel code is p2111.

While driving my 2011 v6 mustang the car will completely loose power. This has happened on the highway and on side streets. There is no warning. The wrench light comes on and the car is forced to idle. No response at all to throttle input. Error code read is p2111 which indicates "throttle actuator "a" control system - stuck open". It is my understanding that the throttle body in this vehicle is the same as used in…

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 in city @ 35mph, went to accelerate and nothing happened. Thought engine stalled but still had ps & pb,s. Called local shop, said to turn off & restart. Did and throttle returned. Two days later, happened again, on county highway @ about 60 mph. Pulled over, turned off, restarted, went to local shop. No check engine light or wrench ?? Light came on. Computer test all negative,but probably a bad electronic…

While driving down the left lane of the sawgrass expressway, a very busy highway between ft. Lauderdale and miami, i lost all throttle response. The wrench light came on the dashboard and i went from 60 mph down to nothing by the time i was off to the side of the road. Cars behind me were obviously braking hard to avoid smashing into me. I turned the car off and was about to call aaa, but the heat index that day was…

I was driving on the interstate and my vehicle stopped accelerating. It was as though it had switched to neutral. I had to quickly turn on my emergency lights and pull over on the side of the road. I turned off the engine, then turned it back on and pulled on to the interstate. The same thing happened again. I finally made it to my destination after this happened six times. *tr

Today i was accelerating to get on the freeway. I took my foot off the pedal to slow down and the car kept accelerating. I then stepped on the brakes and the car kept accelerating. I slam on the brakes ad the car finally started to slow down. Took my phone off the brakes and the car once again accelerated. I again stood on the brakes and was able to get the car to stop on the side of the freeway. Scary stuff. Car…

Defective electronic throttle body (etb) as per code p2111. 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 2011 mustangs where built with the same type of etb as the models covered under the program (fusion, escape, mercury mariner and mercury milan). The program…

Vehicle stalled on the highway with 'wrench light on" meaning an electrical/engine problem with the throttle system. Car went into 'limp home mode'. Dealer says the tbs needs replacing and ford is having issues with such systems. *tr

While driving my 2011 ford mustang down the road the check engine light and the wrench light came on and lost all power, the engine never died but would only idle very rough. I took it to have the code read out, it showed a code p2111 throttle body actuator wide open. It has done the same thing 2 times today. Once you pull over and cut the engine off then restart it will run fine, but not for long before doing the…

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
