NHTSA Complaint #10703281 — 2011 FORD MUSTANG

DRIVING UP HILL GOING ABOUT 20. ORANGE WRENCH ICON COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. HAD TO PULL OVER GOING UP A HILL LOSING ACCELERATION FAST WHEN CARS ARE PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BARELY MADE IT TO A TURN AND PARKED MY CAR. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE AND TURN IT BACK ON. TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHAT COULD BE THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE ONE OF TWO THINGS. TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET A DTC CODE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. 4 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED GOING 60. HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE IGNITION. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. NO CODE. THEY TELL ME IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE STILL. THREE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE SAME ROAD GOING 60. CERTAIN PART OF THIS ROAD HAVE NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. HAVE TO DRIFT MY CAR FOR A BIT TO GET TO A SAFE AREA. ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. CALL DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THE EARLIEST THEY CAN SEE ME IS ONE WEEK AWAY. THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK IT CRAPS OUT ON ME 5 TIMES IN 20 MINUTES. LUCKILY IT WAS 5 AM AND THERE WERE FEW PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. I DO THE SAME THING AND RESTART THE CAR. I USED MY TUNER THIS TIME AND GOT A CODE OF P2111 - THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR CODE. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER FORDS AS WELL AND CHECKING THE MESSAGE BOARDS FOR THE MUSTANGS AND I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT I DID NOT SEE WHERE THE NHTSA WAS LOOKING AT THE MUSTANGS. MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE A LAWSUIT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THIS? THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL ME. I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND GIVE THEM THE CODE SO THEY CAN FINALLY FIX MY CAR. *TR
