Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS STALLED ABOUT 10 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SINCE I BOUGHT IT ON HIGHWAY AND STREETS. SUDDENLY MOTOR DIES AND ITS SO DRAMATICALLY DANGEROUS DUE THAT I HAVE ONLY A FEW METERS TO MANEUVER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. I TOOK TO AUTOZONE AND THEY CONNECTED THE SCANNER AND CAME OUT TROUBLE CODE P2111. WHICH MEAN THROTTLE BODY GOT STUCK OR SO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD DEALER ON 12/05/2018 TO SEE IF THEY FIX. DEFINITELY IS A BIG ISSUE TO DANGEROUS FOR EVERYBODY. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 50MPH. I HAVE JUST RECORDED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY PHONE. CAR CAN STALL AT ANY POINT AT ANY TIME AND IT'S HARD TO DOCUMENT IT
