Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
2015 expedition 3.5 ecoboost stalls out while driving due to defective throttle body (code p2112). This should be a safety recall.
Engine stalls out at freeway speeds and produces a p2112 code throttle body stuck closed. Engine cuts out completely. Has happened five times. Mileage 55234 only. Engine restarts normally until next incident. Car produced at louisville kentucky truck plant which produced the defective electronic throttle bodies included in the ford recall campaign 16b32.
While idling at a traffic light, the engine of my 2015 ford expedition began to labor, evidenced by low and hesitating RPM and reduced fan speed of the air-conditioner. Issue was resolved when the air conditioner was shut off, but has reappeared several times as a result of turning on the air conditioner. I have spoken with other recent model ford explorer and expedition owners who have reported the same issue occurring in their vehicles. This poses a danger to the public as the car's engine hesitates and nearly stalls reducing required on-demand power and acceleration. This has happened while stationary and idling and also while the vehicle is moving at various speeds (0 - 55 MPH) on both city streets and highways. Was sure I'd find a recall related to this issue (most likely a vehicle computer issue) on this site, but no active recalls for 2015 ford expeditions exist.
In the past week, on 2 separate occasions, my 2015 ford expedition has stalled while driving. First instance, while driving approx. 45mph on small country road and accelerating, vehicle stalled and came to a rolling stop, with service indicator light and "see manual" illuminated on dashboard. Once stopped and shifted into park, vehicle started and drove again normally. Second instance (approx. 2 days later), while entering interstate from on ramp, approx. 45mph and accelerating, vehicle stalled. Luckily, we were able to steer the vehicle to the shoulder prior to coming to complete stop. Once shifted into park, vehicle started and drove again normally. Ford service told us the problem is with the throttle body, and will cost nearly $700 to replace. I've done some online research over the past 24 hours, the throttle body seems to be one of, if not the most common complaints by 2015 expedition owners. If this happened during rush hour on a major interstate, people could get killed. Please investigate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle had a sudden loss of power and stalled more than once. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was not able to provide a permanent repair solution. The contact stated that the throttle body failed and the engine was still running. The vehicle was not able to be driven and was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body actuator controller needed to be replaced. The vehicle was at the dealer to receive the repair and the contact was waiting for the manufacturer to supply the part to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
