NHTSA Complaint #10853947 — 2011 FORD MUSTANG

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 V6 MUSTANG THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON SIDE STREETS. THERE IS NO WARNING. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IS FORCED TO IDLE. NO RESPONSE AT ALL TO THROTTLE INPUT. ERROR CODE READ IS P2111 WHICH INDICATES "THROTTLE ACTUATOR "A" CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN". IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IN THIS VEHICLE IS THE SAME AS USED IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE OTHER VEHICLES BUT EVERYONE SUFFERING FROM THIS ON THE V6 MUSTANG IS ON THEIR OWN. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE ACCELERATING TO MERGE AND VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR HAVE TO LIMP TO THE SHOULDER THROUGH TRAFFIC AT IDLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $300 FOR A FULL THROTTLE BODY SERVICE AND THE SAME THING IS STILL HAPPENING.
