My 2013 Ford mustang 2dr coupe is stalling losing power and engine is completely shutting down while I'm driving on the highway which could cause a fatal crash. The engine light and oil light comes on after this happens but the oil light eventually goes off. This recall is on several vehicles but not mine. The dealership has a week of waiting to take my car in. So in the meantime I have to put myself at risk and continue to drive my car. Something needs to change as to notifying use car owners of recalls.

I bought a used 2013 v6 ford mustang used in august 2019. Almost since the begining I've had a problem with it stalling out. The engine itself doesn't stop running but the car loses acceleration and it does not accelerate when the gas is pressed. This has mostly happened when the car is in motion but has also happened when not moving. It has happened mostly while on city streets. This has today I had a problem with this and the check engine light came on. I put a code reader on the port and received the code "p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open." I believe this is the same problem that was alleged with the 2005-2012 ford escape vehicle.

Loss of power to the engine while driving. When this happens, the service wrench and check engine light comes on. Also, a sort of shuddering noise comes from the engine. When this occurs, I can not accelerate. The car pretty much goes limp and I have to pull over and restart my car. It could be from an electronic throttle body failure. This has happened five times.

Car seemed to have a miss when driving ....after stopping and getting back in and starting car was apparently not running like it supposed to ....also had no gas pedal control at all...was able to turn off and restart and get to a auto parts store to have engine tested ( at this time notice engine light on). Code given was p2111....throttle acuator control system stuck open upon doing research have found numerous complaints on same model car as mine ....also ford escape has same issue and ford has extended warranty to fix the problem .......consumer satisfaction program 13n03. I contacted my local ford dealer and they say not related to my car ...apparently this may be the same issue as mine ....no help from them though
