NHTSA Complaint #10597223 — 2011 FORD EDGE

AS MANY HAVE STATED, DROVE ABOUT 1/2 HOUR DOWNTOWN AND DROPPED OFF WIFE AND WAS ON MY WAY BACK HOME (DID NOT TURN CAR OFF EVEN AT THE DROPOFF). STILL DOWNTOWN DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. CAR JUST BEGAN TO DECELERATE. STILL HAD POWER TO THE STEERING AND BREAKS, RADIO, DASH, ETC.. JUST COULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OFF TO SIDE AND ENGINE WAS A BIT ROUGH. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED. ALL WAS FINE. TOOK INTO FORD DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS LATER. ORIGINALLY THEY SAID IT WAS A STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MODULE AT A PRETTY HEFTY PRICE. I SUGGESTED THAT I'LL WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN (IF IT DOES) WHERE WE CAN GET AN ALARM CODE FROM IT. THEY DID THE REST OF THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THEN WHEN THE GUY TOOK IT OUT FOR TEST DRIVE IT HAPPENED TO HIM. ERROR CODE P21111 - FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. IT IS ON ORDER BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I'M JUST UNDER THE 60,000 MILES AND NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD YET. *TR
