I TURNED OFF THE BUSY STREET ON TO A SIDE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. UPON RESTART, THE ENGINE RAN MORE OR LESS NORMALLY, ALBEIT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN ENTERED "LIMP HOME MODE" AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE ON A 4 MILE DRIVE. *TR

WRENCH AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 5 MPH. WAITED AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON.,ENGINE LIGHT STAYED LIT AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE AND RECEIVED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE P2111: THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM, TACHOMETER OPEN OR SHORTED. CALLED FORD AND THEY ARE AWARE BUT STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR WITH A RECALL BEING ISSUED.
TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE LAST DAY OR TWO THE ENGINE HAS LOST POWER/DIED & CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE STEERED TO SIDE OF ROAD & PUT IN PARK TO BE RESTARTED! ON AT LEAST ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS THE CAR WAS IN TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEED & COULD HAVE REALLY BEEN A PROBLEM, WIFE WAS DRIVING & HAD GRAND DAUGHTER & GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH HER, FROM WHAT I CAN READ & FIND OUT FORD MOTOR CO KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS YET NOT ADDRESSED IT, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A CIRCUIT BOARD ON THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A REAL BAD SITUATION! I THINK SOME ONES ATTENTION NEEDS TO BE DIRECTED TO THIS PROBLEM! WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN A RECALL BEFORE SOME ONE REALLY GETS HURT? *TR
