F-150

  • miles
When accelerating to merge on to a major highway, my truck lost power and went into -??limp mode-??. This caused rapid deceleration and I was nearly rear-ended by a semi-truck with my family in my truck. I had to slow to a stop on the shoulder and shut the engine off and back on to clear the faults and drive away. Error codes: hill start assist not available, hill descent control fault, and the service wrench and -??see manual-??. I also received the P2112 engine error code for throttle body stuck shut. This entire sequence repeated approximately 15 times before I could get it to the dealer and I was significantly reduced in my ability to accelerate (at all speeds) until it was fixed. This is a major safety issue and needs to be recalled immediately. Throttle bodies should not fail at 60k miles. Ford replaced my throttle body and the issue was corrected.
