Consumer Description
I STARTED MY CAR AS NORMAL AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. AFTER I HAD STARTED DRIVING MY VEHICLE HAD BEGAN TO SHAKE & THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITING A FEW MOMENTS AND TURNED BACK ON AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE WRENCH WERE LIT ON THE DASH. THE THIRD TIME I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITH WHAT FELT LIKE LIMITED POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE CODE PULLED FROM THE CARS COMPUTER READY P2111. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED. I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE "THROTTLE BODY" & HAVE ALL OF MY "FUEL INJECTORS" CLEANED. WHEN I ASKED FORD WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WAS THEY SAID, "ITS BECAUSE OF THE PLACES YOU PUMP GAS LIKE WALMART BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS CHANGING WHO THEY PURCHASE FUEL FROM AND ITS NOT A GOOD QUALITY." (SERIOUSLY) THEY RECOMMEND GETTING GAS FROM RACETRAC OR QT INSTEAD OF WALMART. THE REPAIRS ARE TO COST $830 PARTS/LABOR. AFTER ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER I HAVE SEEN THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES & ALOT OF THEM ARE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (FREEWAY DRIVING). THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP BEFORE ITS TAKES A INNOCENT LIFE. FORD NEEDS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
