The vehicle dashboard goes blank while driving, followed by the vehicle transmission slipping out of gear. This vehicle can be made available; however, it does not transfer gears. The problem has not been satisfactorily reproduced or diagnosed. The Ford service department simply stated that I needed a new transmission. The dashboard goes blank.

When pulling out into heavy traffic on a divided four lane road, the vehicle suddenly lost power and went into limp mode almost causing a serious accident. The check engine light came on and the code was later to be determined p2112 throttle actuator a control system stuck closed. After researching the issue it was apparent that the ford 3.5 ecoboost motor has quite a history of these type failures. Often driver safety is compromised as the vehicle suddenly and without warning will lose power just when you need it. The fix is to install a new throttle body with electronic actuator.

Bad throttle body and gasket. Going 75 on a hwy in az and the wrench symbol pops up and the gas pedal no longer works! Luckily we were able to maneuver to the side of the hwy safely. Restarted it and it was like nothing happened no check engine light or anything. This happened about 12 times before we were able to connect a computer to it and get code p2112 throttle actuauter control system stuck closed. It didn't matter what speed we were going it would just all of sudden get stuck and the throttle would no longer work. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be looked into!

Driving on a city street about to get onto a highway car started to stumble then died out. We got it started back up but no throttle. Had it towed back home. I hooked up an obd2 code reader and the codes were p2112 and p2111 electronic throttle body. I found some info online like a recalibration test ( key on, press pedal down slowly then release slowly, then turn key off). Started back up like there was no problem. This car has 38,000 miles this seams like a safety issue, if we were to turn in front of someone and it died out we could of got hit!!! I will be taking it in to the dealership to be fixed, car is still under warranty
