I was driving on the highway, suddenly the check engine light was on along with sudden lose of engine power. The car enter some kind of safe mode that can only drive under 25 MPH. Steering wheel was very heavy. It returned to normal after several restart. Check engine light still on. Went to the dealer the next day. They told me it is caused by a faulty sensor of the throttle body.

Two days after getting gas my engine light came on. It stayed on for about a wee and turned off. This kept happening everytime I got gas s I took it to the dealership and was told sometimes the cap sticks and it's a common thing that doesnt require any repairs and they reset it. This happened for almost a year. I took it back and this time they claim I needed a new vapor management valve. Of course my car is less than 36,000 miles but the 3 years are up as of two months ago. I called ford and they said it was covered under warranty because I had the problem before the 3 years. When I get to the dealership to pick up my car they want me to pay for the repair. I call ford back and ask them to send an authorization number to the dealership and now all of a sudden it's not under warranty.

While under normal operation at highway speed (65-70mph with cruise control on) the car alerted me to an error ("service advancetrac") and immediately deactivated: cruise control, traction control, emergency brake assist, and a couple other systems. The check engine light also came on. The car was unable to maintain speed and began losing power. I was able to safely pull the car over to the shoulder of the highway and turn the vehicle on and off twice, the alerts and check engine light persisted through the vehicle restarts. I was able to accelerate and merge back into traffic; however, the maximum speed I was able to maintain was exactly 50mph and I think that may have only been under battery power provided by the hybrid battery system (I.e., electric drive), since no engine noise was apparent while trying to maintain speed. I was able to park at a gas station and call ford road side service. I have an automatic adapter on the car and the adaptor reported the error code of: p2112 throttle actuator "a" control system-stuck closed. The same error code was also found by the ford dealer, which repaired the error under warranty.

While driving the car at about 25 miles an hour, first the traction control light came on then the engine light then the airbag light then there was a warning to stop driving the car. A big exclamation mark was in the display. The car lost power and slowed to a stop. I pulled to the side of the road and turned off the car. I tried restarting the car and all of the warning lights were still there so I ran the vehicle diagnostics report. Which stated there was a throttle problem and engine failure and airbag failure and brake failure. I had the car towed to the ford dealership.

The car dies in drive and in park and reverse and won't let you put it in gear, we have it on video and the check engine light appears but when you turn the car off and back on the check engine light goes off and does not keep a code. We have taken this car to the ford dealership 3 times and they can't find anything wrong because it won't keep the code. The vehicle has less than , 6,000 miles on it and we bought it brand new. We feel very unsafe in this vehicle. We have contacted ford customer service and it seems like we are getting the run around. Ijts happened on 3 different occasions it started in july then august and september.

The car is less than a month old, mileage is 1700. On two occasions, the car had died. All of the instrument panels light up and the check engine light comes on. After a few minutes the car can be restarted. This is a safety issue especially when it dies in heavy traffic on the freeway. I had just exited the freeway both times when the car just died. I know ford had problems with the throttle body on the fiesta. They denied there was a problem for a long time. I am taking it in on wednesday. I am hopeful they will be honest and fix the vehicle.
