Consumer Description

BACKED OUT OF PARKING SPACE, WRENCH LIT ON DASH, NO THROTTLE CONTROL, ERRATIC IDLE. HAVE A CODE SCANNER, IT READ P2111. PLACED IN PARK, SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED, LIGHT WENT OFF. DRIVE 5 MINUTES, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, NO THROTTLE CONTROL, ERRATIC IDLE, CODES P2111, P2112. ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED. AGAIN PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED, MADE IT HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE THIS IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. VERY DANGEROUS LOOSING POWER LIKE THAT WITH NO WARNING, I'M AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE, SHE IS ON THE FREEWAY MORE. I'M LUCKY TO BE ON LESS TRAVELED SIDE ROADS WHERE I CAN PULL OVER TO SHOULDER TO RESTART VEHICLE. SOME SAY ITS THE THROTTLE BODY, OTHERS THE ELECTRONIC GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DON'T WANT TO THROW MONEY AT PARTS. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS. *TR
