2011 Ford Mustang Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL I DRIVE A SHELBY GT500 AND LIVE IN PALM HARBOR, FL WHICH IS A HOT CLIMATE. I WAS NOTIFIED LAST MAY BY FORD OF THIS RECALL AND THEY INDICATED I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE IN A FEW MONTHS TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. ONE YEAR LATER I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A DEALER TO TAKE THE CAR TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS CAR IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND SINCE IT HAS BEEN TESTED BY FORD TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SPEEDS OF 180MPH I FEEL THAT I AM BEING LEFT IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION SINCE IT STILL HASNT BEEN REPAIRED. EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY I AM PUTTING MY LIFE IN FORD'S HANDS SINCE THEY HAVE FAILED TO FIX A KNOWN AIR BAG DEFECT. THIS RECALL GETS EXPANDED ALMOST DAILY AND I SEE NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. HOW DO I GET MY CAR FIXED NOW BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS OR HOW DO I GET FORD TO REPLACE IT WITH A NON IMPACTED MODEL? THIS IS NOT A STANDARD MUSTANG BUT LIKE I STATED A SHELBY GT500 OF WHICH ONLY 5000 WERE EVEN PRODUCED IN 2011 - THIS IS A SPECIALTY HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORTS CAR AND THE DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT MY NEXT STEPS ARE TO EITHER HAVE THIS REPAIR NOW OR REPLACED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL.THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRASTICALLY SLOW DOWN AND REQUIRING EVASIVE ACTION TO GET TO THE SHOULDER DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAULT CODE WAS "P21111 THOTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN".

MY 2011 V6 FORD MUSTANG HAS NOW STALLED SEVERAL TIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS HAPPENED AT BOTH HIGH AND SLOWER SPEEDS. AFTER PULLING OVER AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, CAR STARTS AND RUNS OKAY UNTIL THE NEXT UNEXPECTED STALL. REPAIR SHOP REVEALED NO CODES. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!

I RECEIVED THE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR..

MY VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION OF ANY KIND INTERMITTENTLY. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT HESITATES LOUDLY. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT IT STARTS FINE AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. THE TECH SAID IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I NOTICED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THE PAINT ON THE HOOD WAS BUBBLING UP SO I WENT TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE. BOTH SAID NOTHING. IT HAS TO RUST BEFORE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. NOW, HALF OF THE FRONT OF THE HOOD'S PAINT HAS BUBBLED UP AND PEELED OFF. THIS CHEAP PAINT ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR FORD.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A NO-FAULT ACCIDENT IN MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR AFTER SOMEONE IN THE LANE TO MY LEFT WHO WAS HELD UP IN TRAFFIC IN HIS LANE PULLED OUT INTO MY LANE WITHOUT LOOKING, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SMASH INTO HIM. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH CAUSED OVER $9,000 IN DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND LEFT ME WITH 5 HERNIATED DISCS, HIP PROBLEMS, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE HAD A SERIES OF SHOTS IN MY NECK, AS WELL AS MY SPINE, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE NOT ALLEVIATED MY PAIN. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR MY NECK AT THIS TIME, AND THAT I HAVE TO JUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE PAIN, AND ALSO THAT I NEED TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY LOWER BACK. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TWO MONTHS LATER, I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN FROM FORD, BUT I TOOK MY CAR UP TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. THEY WEREN'T EVEN INTERESTED IN TRADING MY CAR IN. I SUPPOSE THAT I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT IT DID NOT GO OFF, AS APPARENTLY PEOPLE ARE DYING WHEN THEY DO, BUT SOMEHOW IT DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER, AS THIS HAS TOTALLY MESSED UP MY LIFE THESE LAST 6 MONTHS THAT HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH TIME-CONSUMING VISITS TO DOCTORS, CHIROPRACTORS, ETC... I'M ONLY 36 YEARS OLD, AND NOW I AM SUPPOSE TO LIVE WITH THIS?? IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE WHAT HAS HAPPENED. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO TO TALK TO ABOUT A SUIT FOR THE AIRBAG SITUATION, AS I SPOKE WITH MY INJURY ATTORNEY WHO IS SUING THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR MY INJURIES, AND HE IS SOMEHOW UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE AIRBAG LAWSUITS ARE ONLY REGARDING THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING SPONTANEOUSLY, AND NOT THAT THEY ARE JUST NOT GOING OFF AT ALL WHEN YOU NEED THEM DURING AN ACCIDENT. I AM CONFIDENT THAT IF MY AIRBAG WOULD HAVE DONE WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AND PROTECT MY NECK AND HEAD DURING THE CRASH, THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE SUFFERED SUCH TRAUMA TO MY SPINE THAT LED TO THIS. PLEASE ADVISE.

VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO BE 8-15 MPH TOO FAST . DEFINITELY OFF . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

DRIVING UP HILL GOING ABOUT 20. ORANGE WRENCH ICON COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. HAD TO PULL OVER GOING UP A HILL LOSING ACCELERATION FAST WHEN CARS ARE PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BARELY MADE IT TO A TURN AND PARKED MY CAR. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE AND TURN IT BACK ON. TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHAT COULD BE THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE ONE OF TWO THINGS. TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET A DTC CODE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. 4 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED GOING 60. HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE IGNITION. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. NO CODE. THEY TELL ME IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE STILL. THREE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE SAME ROAD GOING 60. CERTAIN PART OF THIS ROAD HAVE NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. HAVE TO DRIFT MY CAR FOR A BIT TO GET TO A SAFE AREA. ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. CALL DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THE EARLIEST THEY CAN SEE ME IS ONE WEEK AWAY. THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK IT CRAPS OUT ON ME 5 TIMES IN 20 MINUTES. LUCKILY IT WAS 5 AM AND THERE WERE FEW PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. I DO THE SAME THING AND RESTART THE CAR. I USED MY TUNER THIS TIME AND GOT A CODE OF P2111 - THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR CODE. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER FORDS AS WELL AND CHECKING THE MESSAGE BOARDS FOR THE MUSTANGS AND I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT I DID NOT SEE WHERE THE NHTSA WAS LOOKING AT THE MUSTANGS. MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE A LAWSUIT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THIS? THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL ME. I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND GIVE THEM THE CODE SO THEY CAN FINALLY FIX MY CAR. *TR

I'VE NEVER HAD SIMILAR ISSUE BEFORE THIS. I WAS ACCELERATING SLOWLY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MPH WHEN THE CAR LURCHED, THE "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR AT ALL. I WAS FORCED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE ENGINE TURNED A FEW EXTRA TIMES BUT DID START. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME (WITHIN 0.5 MILE) AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. OVER THE NEXT DAY I TESTED THE CAR ON BACK ROADS: IT FREQUENTLY REQUIRED THE ENGINE TO TURN EXTRA IN ORDER TO START, AND IT SEEMED THAT WHENEVER I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TOO RAPIDLY THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST/BRAKE TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IF I ACCELERATED VERY SLOWLY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT AT NO POINT COULD I PASS 20-30 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE BASED ON EEC TEST AND CODE P2112. THEY NOTED A STUCK ETB ACTUATOR AND ETB ACTUATOR BINDING CAUSING SYSTEM TO GO INTO FAILSAFE MODE. THE ETB ASSEMBLY AND FULL THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR DRIVES WELL NOW. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR FREEWAY OR A HILL (AS ARE FREQUENT IN MY AREA) I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS INJURY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AWARE OF OR DID NOT OFFER ANY EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES OR SENSORS AND IF THIS EXISTS I AM INTERESTED TO PURSUE REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST OF MY REPAIRS AND LABOR. *TR

11/14/2014 - VEHICLE ENGINE APPEARED TO STALL OR SHUTDOWN (NO POWER) WITH "WRENCH" DISPLAYED WHILE EXITING HIGHWAY. COASTED TO SHOULDER AND RESTARTED VEHICLE MILEAGE APPROX 32,100. RE-OCCURRED ON 12/9/2014 WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH - WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER AND RESTART. FORD DEALER RAN COMPLETE DIAGNOSTICS NEXT DAY BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. VEHICLE MILEAGE LESS THAN 33,000. OCCURRED AGAIN ON 1/27 ON HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH - COASTED TO SHOULDER AND PLUGGED IN OBD-II DIAGNOSTIC TOOL I HAVE BEEN CARRYING WHICH DISPLAYED P2111 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN. RESTARTED CARE - OCCURRED AGAIN 2 MILES LATER THIS TIME - SAME CODE READING - AND NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ON. VEHICLE MILEAGE 34,650. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL ON 1/28/15 AT MY EXPENSE (NOT UNDER WARRANTY / NO MANUFACTURER RECALL). THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD - UNEXPECTED VEHICLE SHUTDOWN OCCURRING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WAS AS THOUGH IT HAD SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND PULLED ON TO THE INTERSTATE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION AFTER THIS HAPPENED SIX TIMES. *TR

DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS (45 MPH), SUDDENLY ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT BOTH ILLUMINATED AND SIMULTANEOUSLY LOST ALL POWER TO THE CAR. I WAS ALMOST CRUSHED BY A SEMI TRUCK AS I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER TO JUST RESTART ENGINE AND ALL WOULD BE OKAY. THIS TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THE NEXT DAY THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I CAUSED A LARGE BACK UP OF CARS BEHIND ME CAUSING A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. NOW WHEN I TALK TO FORD REPRESENTATIVE THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I AM ON MY OWN TO FIX. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, MY CASE IS NOT ALONE. THERE IS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SITUATION. FORD FAILS TO RECOGNIZED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT HIGH RPMS SWITCHING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GO IN GEAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.AND ALSO 3RD TO 4TH..DEALER SAYS IT'S COMMON AT TIMES.AFTER MONTHS OF DEALING WITH THIS ISSUES 5TH GEAR IS GRINDING AND IS AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE.

VEHICLE MOTOR ACCELERATES WHILE SETTING STILL AT HIGH RATE. HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND CUT IGNITION KEY OFF. IF I HADN'T HAD MY FOOT ON BRAKE WOULD HAVE RAN INTO BUILDING. *TR

TODAY I WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I SLAM ON THE BRAKES AD THE CAR FINALLY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. TOOK MY PHONE OFF THE BRAKES AND THE CAR ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED. I AGAIN STOOD ON THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. SCARY STUFF. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER TODAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

DRIVING NORMAL SPEED, NO CARS PRESENT 60 DEGREE DAY, REAR CONVERTIBLE WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP AND THEN SHATTERED. THE REAR DEFROST WAS ON AT THE TIME. *TR

DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) AS PER CODE P2111. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCLUDING MUSTANGS FROM THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 - WHICH CLEARLY STATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ETBS DURING THIS TIME. LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET, IT IS CLEAR THAT 2011 MUSTANGS WHERE BUILT WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ETB AS THE MODELS COVERED UNDER THE PROGRAM (FUSION, ESCAPE, MERCURY MARINER AND MERCURY MILAN). THE PROGRAM EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY TO A TOTAL OF 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE WARRANTY START DATE, WHICH EVER OCCURS FIRST. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT BASICALLY STALLS AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WITHOUT TURNING THE IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF - WHICH IN TURN TURNS OFF POWER ASSET TO STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS STALLING CONDITION OCCURS RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING IN TRAFFIC. IN THIS CASE VEHICLE BARELY OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

THIS BEGAN AS OF LAST THURSDAY. I HAVE A 2011 FORD MUSTANG THAT I BOUGHT JUST LAST AUGUST. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR SEEMED TO HAVE STALLED ON ME. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS POURING DOWN RAINING SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT SINCE I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AFTER IT SEEMED TO VIBRATE A BIT, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND PARK IT ONLY A FEW MILES FROM WHERE IT HAPPENED. I HAD A DOC APPOINTMENT LATER THAT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET THERE. IT WAS WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, ON THE FREEWAY! IT OCCURRED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY (FRIDAY) AS I WAS LEAVING FROM WORK. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED TWICE EXCEPT THE SECOND TIME, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY DAD TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND NO CODE CAME BACK. COOLANT WAS PUT IN IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AFTERWARDS. TODAY, I'M DRIVING TO WORK AND IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE TWICE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVERS ARE SWERVING AROUND ME! THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL! I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR SO THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE FIXED ASAP. TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. ONCE IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE, YOUR SPEED WILL DRASTICALLY DECREASE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE NOT ALL PARTS OF THE FREEWAY HAVE A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER...THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. I'VE READ UP ON OTHER OWNER'S ISSUES AND SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW WRECKS BEHIND THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE WRENCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 'WRENCH LIGHT ON" MEANING AN ELECTRICAL/ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE SYSTEM. CAR WENT INTO 'LIMP HOME MODE'. DEALER SAYS THE TBS NEEDS REPLACING AND FORD IS HAVING ISSUES WITH SUCH SYSTEMS. *TR

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ENGINE THROTTLE SOMETIMES IN HIGH-SPEED SITUATIONS, ACTIVATION OF LIMP HOME MODE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR. DIAGNOSTIC CODE REPORTED FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, CODE DTC P2111. DEALER CONFIRMED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY FAULT BASIC PART 9F991 AND REPLACED, EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE13-003. *TR

THIS CAR HAS 26,600 MILES ON IT AND THE PIRELLI P ZERO NERO ALL SEASON RADIAL TIRES ARE SEPARATING BETWEEN THE TREADS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON ALL FOUR TIRES. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY THAT THESE TIRES WILL BLOW OUT. I ASKED THE SALESMAN THAT SOLD ME THE CAR AND HE WAS CLUELESS AND DID NOT OFFER ANY HELP. PLEASE HELP. THE TIRES SAY THEY WERE MADE IN BRAZIL AND SHOW THIS - P 235/50 ZR1897W. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,500.

AT HIGH RPM'S IN 2ND GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD TWICE THIS HAPPENED. ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS NOTICED 3RD WAS LIKE NEUTRAL SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO FROM SECOND TO FOURTH THEN IN DOING THAT 4TH GEAR WAS HAVING ISSUES WHETHER I'M UP SHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING 3RD AND 4TH NO LONGER WORK UNDER ANY CONDITION THEY FEEL LIKE NEUTRAL SO NOW I ONLY CAN US 1,2,5,6 I NO LONGER HAVE A 3 AND 4 . SO WHILE AT TRACK CAR NEVER WENT PASSED SECOND AND THE DRIVE HOME WAS MISSING 2 GEARS JUST LIKE THAT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST ALL POWER, THE ENGINE NEVER DIED BUT WOULD ONLY IDLE VERY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO HAVE THE CODE READ OUT, IT SHOWED A CODE P2111 THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR WIDE OPEN. IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING 2 TIMES TODAY. ONCE YOU PULL OVER AND CUT THE ENGINE OFF THEN RESTART IT WILL RUN FINE, BUT NOT FOR LONG BEFORE DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THE CODE P2111 MEANS, TO MY SURPRISE THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ON MUSTANGS, ESCAPES, AND FUSIONS. FORD HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CERTAIN THROTTLE BODIES.THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY. *TR

FOUR INCIDENTS OF "LIMP HOME" OPERATION IN THREE CONSECUTIVE OUTINGS WITH AN OBD-II DIAGNOSTIC ON THE FINAL DRIVE INDICATING P2111--A FAULT WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEIR OFFICIAL WORD WAS "THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY ISSUES LIKE MINE." THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM ELIMINATED. *TR

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR LOSES POWER AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OFF. I HAVE PULLED OVER AND THE CAR SHAKES PRETTY VIOLENTLY. ONCE I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE FOR A WHILE BUT EVENTUALLY DOES IT AGAIN. GOT THE CODE P2111. *TR

DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) AS PER DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCLUDING MUSTANGS FROM THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 - WHICH CLEARLY STATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ETBS DURING THIS TIME.

CAR MAY TAKE UP TO 3 OR 4 TRIES TO START NORMALLY. THIS STALLING CONDITION CAN OCCUR UP TO 5 TIMES IN AN 8 MILE TRIP. *TR

2011 MUSTANG 3.7. AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. DISPLAYED CODE P2111. *JS

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSE POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. I PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK, IT MAKES A HORRIBLE RACKET WHEN IN IDLE. SO I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT'S OKAY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND OTHER TIMES IT'S NOT EVEN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN...I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS WITH THE FORD COMPANY, AND THERE WERE NONE...MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS SINCE COME ON AND NOW I KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT'S THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR MOTOR...LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING! I DEFINITELY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART!! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE INDICATOR CAME ON ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ADVANCE-TRACK INDICATOR AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COMPLETELY. THIS FORCED ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WITH NO ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR AT ALL. I WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I COULD NOT CHANGE DIRECTION AT ALL AND ENDED UP HITTING MY HEAD, ELBOW AND KNEES. AFTER CALLING THE FORD DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A "TSB" ABOUT IT BUT NO RECALL. THE DEALER THEN WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT ALMOST ALL THE FORD VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, EXCEPT THE MUSTANG EVEN THOUGH THEY SEE MORE OF THIS PROBLEM IN MUSTANGS THAN ANY OTHER MODEL. THEY THEN QUOTED ME OVER $3,000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS PROBLEM, IN MY OPINION, COULD'VE KILLED ME AND I'M SHOCKED THAT IT HASN'T COST ANY ELSE THEIR LIFE. *TR

MY WIFE ,WHO IS THREE MONTHS PREGNANT, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT INTO WHAT I AM HEARING IS "LIMP MODE". THE CAR LOSSES POWER , NEVER SHUTS OFF, IT REDUCES THE RPMS TO ABOUT 600 AND SPEED TO ABOUT 10 TO 12 MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO HER SHE JUST BARELY GOT OFF THE ROAD BEFORE AN 18 WHEELER HIT HER FROM BEHIND. WHEN I ARRIVED ON SCENE I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 SEC. THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SCANNED THE CAR TROUBLE CODE P2111 DISPLAYED SAYING FAILED THROTTLE BODY. I RESET THE COMPUTER WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ABOUT $170.00 ANDTHERE WAS ABOUT A 50% CHANCE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM SO I KEPT MY MONEY AND LEFT. DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MANY DIFFERENT FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE WITH MUSTANGS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ETB ( ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY) ON THEIR VEHICLE BUT FORD SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE. WHILE DOING MY RESEARCH I FOUND WHERE FORD ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM NO. 13N03 ON FUSIONS, ESCAPES, AND MILIANS FOR A DEFECTIVE EBT BUT THE MUSTANG IS NOT COVERED OR ACKNOWLEDGED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THAT IM HAVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INSTANCE. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL ENERGIZED AND APPLIED BRAKES TEMPORARILY WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE ABOUT MAY 20, 2014. YESTERDAY, IT TEMPORARILY ACTIVATED AGAIN DURING A U-TURN ON A CITY STREET. ABOUT A BLOCK LATER I ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND APPROACHED 70MPH THEN IT ACTIVATED AND KEPT PULSING THE BRAKES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW QUICKLY. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD TO MOVE OVER 3 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AS I APPROACHED THE SHOULDER THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED AND I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE DAY. I AM HAVING THE SYSTEM INSPECTED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

CAR RANDOMLY GOES INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. CODE COULD NOT BE CAUGHT BY DEALER SO I PURCHASED A SCANNER. CODE CAUGHT EVERYTIME IS P2111 REPRESENTING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR IS STUCK OPEN. THIS CAN HAPPEN WITHIN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING OR UP TO 20 MILES. IT CAN HAPPEN AT 5 MPH OR 65 MPH. IT CAN HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF A TRIP OR 30 MINUTES IN. IT CAN HAPPEN ONCE OR EVERY FEW MINUTES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE LIMP HOME DOES NOT GET ENOUGH POWER TO GET OFF ROAD. I ALMOST CAUSED A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT . CAN YOU IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST STOPS? IT DOESN'T EVEN COAST. I SEE THIS COMPLAINT ON ALOT OF FORD FORUMS. IT IS LIKE FORD IS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED OR SUE THEM BEFORE THEY SOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS MY BATTERY. I WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE AND THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND I HAD KNOWN, THE BATTERY IS FINE. I HAVE BEEN INTO FORD SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES AND WHEN I RETURN THEY DO EVERTHING BUT FIX THE ISSUE. THE DATE BELOW IS THE 1ST TIME EXPERIENCED. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT THIS YEAR IS EVERYTIME I DRIVE.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WON'T ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT SPORADICALLY SINCE THEN BUT GOT SO BAD THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED IN AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. IF THEY HAD CAUGHT IT THE FIRST TIME WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY $556.72 TODAY. LUCKILY THE SAFETY PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY! *TR UPDATED 012/24/2014 *JS

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, 2014. SHORTLY AFTER MY CAR STARTED BREAKING DOWN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN, NO CODES CAME UP. A FRIEND OF MINE THAN LET ME BORROW HIS MOBILE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE NEXT TIME I BROKE DOWN I WAS ABLE TO GET A CODE, THAT CODE WAS P2111 (TAC SYSTEM STUCK OPEN). ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL FORD SHOP THIS IS GOING TO COST ME OVER $600. AGAIN, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, HOWEVER, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER FORD VEHICLES. 'CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03' HALF OF THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS A COPY&PASTE FROM MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING BACK. SINCE THAN, I'VE BROKEN DOWN SEVERAL MORE TIMES. ONE OF WHICH I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY RAN OVER BY AN 18 WHEELER SEMI. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND COULD VERY WELL COST ME MY LIFE! I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE SOME FORM OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO MY COMPLAINT AND HOPEFUL APPROVAL TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL ME. THANK YOU. *TR

THAT'S WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD AND MENTIONED 'CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03' THEY INFORMED ME OF THE "MANY" FORD VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED TO BE FIXED UNDER THAT RECALL OR WHATNOT. HOWEVER, FORD MUSTANGS WERE NOT ON THAT LIST. I FEEL THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FORD ISSUE, ONE OF WHICH THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED OUT OF YOUR POCKET AND NOT MINE. IT'S VERY SAD TO HAVE THE EXCITEMENT OF GETTING A NEW CAR AND NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE! I HAVE NOW BROKEN DOWN COUNTLESS TIMES, MOSTLY BACK TO BACK (ON THE FREEWAY). IT MAKES MY PERSONAL WORLD AS WELL AS MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE A LIVING HELL SINCE I'M HAVING TO RENT CARS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVERY TIME MY BOSS NEEDS ME TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN FOR HIM. AN ABSOLUTE JOKE IF YOU ASK ME. ANYHOW, ITS BEEN MONTHS NOW THAT I'VE MEANT TO CREATE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO DO THIS BEFORE SO IF THERE'S ANOTHER STEP I MAY BE MISSING OR IF ANY QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO GIVE ME A CALL. THANK YOU! I WILL BE ANXIOUSLY WAITING BY THE PHONE :) *TR

MY ADVANCED TRAC LIGHT WAS ON-DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT INTO DEAN SELLERS FORD (2600 W MAPLE RD, TROY, MICH 48084) AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE EPAS BECAUSE IT FAILED. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 25,400 MILES ON IT AND THE COST WAS $1047.00 PLUS LABOR OF $505.50. TOTAL COST $1549,00 PLUS I HAD TO PAY $60,00 FOR A RENTAL CAR. A CAR WITH THIS MANY MILES ON IT, SHOULD NOT NEED TO HAVE THIS KIND OF REPAIR (EPAS COMPONENT) REPLACED. THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT AND I BELIEVE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HONOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART, LABOR AND RENTAL CAR BY ISSUING A CREDIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR. *TR

BUMPED KEY AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. *JS

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, WITHOUT WARNING WENT INTO LIMP MODE, WHICH I HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED OFF MOTOR TO RESET, BUT EVERY TIME I TAKE OFF IT GOES IN LIMP MODE, I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THEY SAID THAT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE ALMOST 1100 DOLLARS. *JS
