NHTSA Complaint #10611083 — 2011 FORD MUSTANG

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 SAME THING AGAIN. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THE CODE P2111 MEANS, TO MY SURPRISE THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ON MUSTANGS, ESCAPES, AND FUSIONS. FORD HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CERTAIN THROTTLE BODIES.THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY. *TR
