2016 Ford Expedition Fuel System Problems

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The contact replaced the throttle body; however, while driving, the vehicle made an abnormally loud sound. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that the throttle body hose clamp had detached. The contact reconnected the hose clamp, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 85,605.

while driving on the highway my vehicle shut down and service lamp came on and while drifting tried to put transmission in neutral and restart but had to come to complete stop to restart engine in park. I was in third lane and had no warning before shut down and could not get to the shoulder. (almost got hit trying). I reported to the dealer and they said there was no fault codes stored. I was driving to work on a 4 lane street a week later and again it shut down without previous warning again and had to crash up onto the curb to get off street to again restart in park. dealer said again no codes and could not get it to duplicate problem after driving. It happened two more times so i looked into it myself and i read online that the Throttle body is the likely issue. i returned and paid to have the throttle body replaced. they said would not guarantee the issue would be resolved. it has been months and have had no issues since i had it replaced. They charged me $563.31 not including tax. I can not believe that you have to put a vehicle in park when it stalls to begin with but i also can not believe this issue was never recalled since it is a major safety issue and see lots of people and complained of the same issue.

While driving on the freeway our 2016 Ford Expedition's engine went into "Limp Mode" causing total loss of power. We barely were able to move into the slow lane and place hazard lights on while cars ran up on us slamming on their brakes to avoid a collison with our disabled vehicle. There was less than three feet of shoulder against a concrete barrier for us to stop. The dash showed a large yellow wrench and engine was running extremely rough. After turning engine off and back on we accelerated into on coming traffic to find the nearest exit hoping that the engine would keep running. We were very lucky to not have been killed. When we returned home my son pulled the code "P2112" which is "Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed". There is a Technical Service Bullentin #TSB 16-0139 that was put out by Ford for their techs to diagnose and repair the issue. So they are aware this is an ongoing safety issue. NHTSA is aware this is an ongoing safety issue.The dealer wants $590 labor plus $258 for the Throttle Body to replace and diagnose the code we have already pulled and supplied them with the TSB bulletin. I wonder how many accidents and/or lives will it cost for the NHTSA and/or Ford to step up and recall these unsafe throttle bodies that are obviously defective.

6 months ago, electronic power steering failed (Control module?). Today. Electric throttle body - Code P2111. Driving down the road and lost acceleration (the “limp” condition). Engine is running but no reaction to the gas pedal. Wrench symbol on the dash. I coasted to a spot where I could get out of traffic. Restarted the vehicle and the error went away. When I made it home, I removed the throttle body. Butterfly was a little dirty but much cleaner than the ones shown on YouTube. Opened the gear box and it was clean too. However, several teeth on the plastic gears were worn and/or disfigured. It also seemed like the little electric motor would not let the butterfly shut all the way.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING 90 MPH. A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND ALLOWED TO COAST SO THAT IT COULD BE SAFELY MOVED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE OF THE INTERSTATE. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE COASTING. ADDITIONAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A HALT. NO SUCCESS. THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NEVER START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, FORD DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY.

POWER TRAIN FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, CAR STOPPED MOVING ON HIGHWAY. NEEDED TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART. HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER.

THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED AND WAS REPLACED AT 80000 MILES. REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED AFTER AN ADDITIONAL 24000. IT WAS ALSO REPLACED. BOTH REPLACEMENTS WERE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERS.

VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IN TRAFFIC, MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER IS REPLACING THE ELECTRONIC CARBURETOR SENSOR WHICH ELECTRONICALLY CONNECTS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE ENGINE. SAID THEY HAVE HAD TO DO THIS ON SEVERAL VEHICLES LATELY. MY SON OWNS A 2015 F150 AND HIS TRUCK HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM LAST WEEK. MUST BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IF SEVERAL VEHICLES IN OUR SMALL TOWN HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE.
