NHTSA Complaint #10638618 — 2011 FORD MUSTANG

THIS BEGAN AS OF LAST THURSDAY. I HAVE A 2011 FORD MUSTANG THAT I BOUGHT JUST LAST AUGUST. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR SEEMED TO HAVE STALLED ON ME. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS POURING DOWN RAINING SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT SINCE I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AFTER IT SEEMED TO VIBRATE A BIT, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND PARK IT ONLY A FEW MILES FROM WHERE IT HAPPENED. I HAD A DOC APPOINTMENT LATER THAT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET THERE. IT WAS WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, ON THE FREEWAY! IT OCCURRED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY (FRIDAY) AS I WAS LEAVING FROM WORK. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED TWICE EXCEPT THE SECOND TIME, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY DAD TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND NO CODE CAME BACK. COOLANT WAS PUT IN IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AFTERWARDS. TODAY, I'M DRIVING TO WORK AND IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE TWICE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVERS ARE SWERVING AROUND ME! THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL! I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR SO THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE FIXED ASAP. TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. ONCE IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE, YOUR SPEED WILL DRASTICALLY DECREASE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE NOT ALL PARTS OF THE FREEWAY HAVE A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER...THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I'VE READ UP ON OTHER OWNER'S ISSUES AND SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW WRECKS BEHIND THIS. *TR
