Consumer Description

I keep reading online and hearing a bunch of instances regarding trying to accelerate and the truck falling flat and losing power. (This recently happened to me trying to get onto the expressway.) I was driving on the on-ramp and pushing the pedal to accelerate and I was parallel to the front of a semi truck. I tried passing and the truck completely went into limp mode and thank goodness there was a shoulder because I braked as hard as I could and threw the steering wheel as far to the right as I could. My life flashed in front of my eyes and it made me want to sell the vehicle because I have a baby and if it wasn’t for instinct I don’t know where I’d be. And that’s why I am posting this in hopes of this issue being some sort of recall. I later went to an auto parts store and the code read P2112 the tech said it was pertaining to the throttle bottle and it’s a common issue. I don’t know how many hundreds/thousands of people this has happened to but in my humble opinion this needs to be addressed. The vehicle is a 2016 F150 King Ranch 3.5L EcoBoost
