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.

Three times the vehicle has gone into "limp mode" with the wrench light being displayed on the dash. I have gone to the dealership each time and no failure code is coming up. They will not fix the vehicle without the failure code being displayed and recommended towing the vehicle next time it happens. I have fear of driving this vehicle on the highway.

When driving on highway the engine goes into limp mode 3mph max. Displays wrench symbol on instrumentation panel.. No possible acceleration possible.. Very dangerous if you were entering an intersection on highway. I could see possible fatalities. If you shut off engine and restart will run as normal for about a mile than same scenario. Ran code showed "p2112" faulty throttle body. If you were crossing a highway I could see getting t-boned . Please educate owners to save lives.9.12.18

While driving at highway speeds, the orange wrench light came on with a message to see owner's manual. Vehicle went into "limp mode" and I was unable to accelerate could only coast. I was able to maneuver to the shoulder while coasting. Once on the shoulder, stopped and vehicle idled rough so shut it off. I then restarted and the issue went away and I was able to drive. I called the dealership and was told it could have been a fluke with the computer and to bring it in if it happens again. It happened again the next day so we took to the dealership. Dealership diagnosed the problem as a failed electronic throttle body under code p2112 which is similar to the issue ford has had for several years. I was informed by the dealership and ford customer service that ford did not include the expedition in the recall for this issue. It appears their recall did not cover all vehicles impacted by this issue.

My wife was driving our kids home on the interstate when the car went into limp mode. She was scared and didn't know what to do. We brought it to the ford store and they replaced the throttle body.
