NHTSA Complaint #10500076 — 2011 FORD FUSION

THIS HAPPENED SOMETIME BACK, HOWEVER IT COULD BE RELATED TO YOUR CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS. WHEN I HAD APPROX 1900 MILES ON THE CAR AND WHILE I WAS GOING AROUND 70 MPH, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. AFTER NEARLY GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND FROM A TRUCK (CAUSE I LOST SPEED), I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY AND SAW I HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON TO FIND IT OUT IT WOULDN'T START. SO I TURNED IT OFF ONCE AGAIN, WAITED 20 OR SO SECONDS, AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO WORK. LATER ON THAT NIGHT, I PULLED THE CODES OFF THE SYSTEM AND KEPT THEM AS PICTURES (P2104 AND P2112) JUST IN CASE THE CODES CLEARED (COLD CYCLE). SURE ENOUGH I GO TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY, NO CODES FOUND AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY (FORD) CAN DO. I SHOWED THEM THE PICTURES, HOWEVER I WAS STILL TURNED AWAY. LATER ON AT AROUND 7500 MILES, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE DEALER TO RUN THE CODES. THEY PERFORMED TSB 11-4-23 ON THE ENGINE THROTTLE BODY AND ECU, AND INSTALLED A NEW WIRING HARNESS. LITTLE DID I KNOW AT THE TIME, BUT THIS STATES THAT UNDER RARE CONDITIONS THE ENGINE WILL EMIT THOSE CODES WHILE THE WIPERS ARE ON. *TR
