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

Vehicle lost power while driving, engine wrench light came on, made rattling noise but still idling. After full shutdown and restart, engine appeared to work fine. Dealer determined throttle body defective, similar to other ford vehicle throttle body issues which had recent recalls and warranty extensions, however this particular model and year is not covered. $1250 repair bill.
Engine did not respond to a hard acceleration, done in an effort to avoid a possible crash. Crash however did not happen. This has happened on more occasions. This is a common complaint on the internet.
Increasing speed to merge onto kellogg in wichita, kansas westbound from oliver and transmission began to jerk, then in a very short time span, about 2-3 seconds, entire vehicle shut down. Dealer did some repair work but the car has had numerous electrical incidents including failing to start, shutdowns, failure of pass side window to go all the way down, failure of climate control causing fogged windows, speakers shorting out, trunk opening on its own, and so forth. Numerous, but still small percentage of automatic transmission (6r80) issues that seem to match mine. No error codes suggest intermittent fail of contacts at passthru connector, possibly related to poorly seated connector insert. Bare wire was discovered in pass door when windows was serviced. Vehicle should be investigated for the transmission failure to issue tsb as needed to correct was well as investigation into wiring harness. Note - we have had 3 incidents where the problems could have caused crash.
