NHTSA Complaint #11128501 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND MY ENGINE LOST ACCELERATION. I COULD NOT INCREASE MY SPEED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR BARELY MOVED. I WAS ALMOST REAR END BY A TRUCK BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THE WRENCH ICON CAME ON MY DASH AND SAID TO TAKE TO DEALER. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT SHOWED A P2111 FAULT CODE. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS MALFUNCTION PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION.
