2016 Ford Expedition Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A SMALL HIGHWAY (2 TIMES) AND A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET (1 TIME) GOING 25 MPH (45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY) OR MORE WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR SEEMED TO SHIFT INTO A DIFFERENT DRIVE WITH THE WAY IT FELT AND SOME SHAKING. I WOULD PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT TWICE OFF OF A BUSY ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT WAS AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED AND RAN FINE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE HOME. I HAD A MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC AND NO CODES FOR THIS INCIDENT WHERE STORED OR PRESENT. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED I DID NOT SHUT THE CAR OFF UNTIL SOMEONE COULD COME AND RUN A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH READ THE CODE P2112, THROTTLE ACTUATOR, CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK? REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF BUSY MORNING WORK TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GET TO A PARKING LOT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE VERY BUSY INTERSTATE AT 75-80 MPH THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THEN LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER. THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WITH NO THROTTLE I HAD TO EASE MYSELF INTO THE NARROW SHOULDER WHILE SEMI AFTER SEMI FLEW BY. THIS WAS TERRIFYING! I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF & BACK ON AND IT WORKED FINE TO HEAD HOME. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME BUT THANKFULLY ON SMALL COUNTRY ROADS.

P2112 ERROR KEEPS COMING UP CAUSING SUDDEN LOSE OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, CAUSING A PANIC MOMENT TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, AND ON CITY AND RURAL ROADS. WE HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND THEN RESTART IT SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. *TR

SUDDEN UNEXPECTED DECELERATION TO 1-3 MPH AND UNRESPONSIVE WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH. ERROR MESSAGE "SEE MANUAL". CORRECTED BY TURNING OFF IGNITION AND RE-STARTING. REPEAT PROBLEM - REPAIR FACILITY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR A WEEK. THEY STATED MULTIPLE ISSUES CAME UP ON THEIR ANALYSIS WHICH WERE VARIABLE. INITIALLY THOUGHT TO BE THROTTLE ISSUE. I QUESTION A COMPUTER SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GATOR FORD (11780 TAMPA GATEWAY BLVD, SEFFNER, FL 33584) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,200. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AND A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED. I HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO ROLLED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. MESSAGE SAID TRANSMISSION TEMP 199 DEGREES. I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. I AM RETIRED AND ONLY DRIVE 2 TIMES A WEEK TO SEE GRAND CHILDREN, GO TO STORE OR DOCTORS AND I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 43,000 MILES. CAR HAS HAD ALL SCHRDULED MAINTANANCE. I SEE FORD HAD A RECALL FOR OTHER 2015 AND 2016 MODELS FOR THROTTLE BODY THAT EXPIRED IN 2017 BUT NOTHING FOR 2016 EXPEDITION. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $450.00.

WHILE IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND CAR LOSE THROTTLE. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT THING AND ONLY MADE THE CARE STUTTER. IT WOULDN'T GOT PASS 30MILES PER HOUR BUT ALSO WOULDN'T STAY AT 30 EITHER IT WILL GO DOWN AND UP CHOKING ON ITS SELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND AT ANY SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN. THIS FIX IS TEMPORARILY AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IT ALMOST CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ON MAJOR FREEWAY IN HOUSTON RUSH HOUR. LOST POWER, WRENCH POPPED UP AND SAID SEE MANUAL. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO WAIT IN TRAFFIC AND RESTART VEHICLE. COULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH WITHOUT LOSING POWER AGAIN. APPARENTLY EVERY OTHER 2016 FORD HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A THROTTLE BODY DEFECT EXCEPT THE EXPEDITION. OUR ISSUE WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY.

WHEN TRYING ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE DOES NOTHING AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS CAUSED NEAR MISSES IN TRAFFIC FROM GETTING REAR ENDED AS THE VEHICLE STALLS AND THEN RESUMES DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING AS THE PROBLEM DID NOT DUPLICATE IN THEIR POSSESSION. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITHOUT ANY CODES POPULATING. I HAVE HELD UP TRAFFIC WHILE TRYING TO MOVE OVER BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS.

AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF AN INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL. THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF BUT NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ON A SIDE STREET JUST ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AT THAT TIME. AFTER RESTARTING THE TRUCK I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME BUT THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT OTHER FORD MODELS HAD THE SAME FAILURE WITH THE SAME PART ON THE SAME ENGINE BUT THE EXPEDITION WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL.

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. HAS HAPPENED OVER 8 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. VEHICLE LOOSES THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. IT FORCES YOU TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT TO RESET IT. VERY DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I LOST POWER AND CONTROL TO THE ENGINE. CONTROL OF THE ENGINE IS LOST WHEN WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATION IS LOST. THE CAR WILL SLOW UNTIL ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR SPEED. THE RPMS WILL FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN AND STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOTHING. NO WARNING IS GIVEN, AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS COMPLETED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT TURN OUT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUES WITH FORD CARS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. LOSING CONTROL OF ACCELERATION CAN BE DEADLY DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED UP AGAIN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ONCE YOU HAVE IT, THE PROBLEM WILL BE THERE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED AND HOPE THAT THE ISSUES NEVER RETURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPEDITION. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVEN AFTER THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A PINE TREE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT FULL ACCELERATION UNTIL IT WAS DE-POWERED MANUALLY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS HAD NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPEDITION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED AS THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
