Vehicle randomly sputters then the throttle completely stops working (dangerous condition at speed) and I have to coast to the side of the road while it is constantly sputtering and then have to put it in park, turn off the ignition and then turn it back on which appears to reset it. Took it to dealership over a month ago and they are still waiting for the part (on back order). Called Ford and they finally filed a case number, but still could not give me a date for when the part will be available. Fyi yesterday it happened about 7 times going to work and another 6 on the way home.

I was trying to enter the freeway on the ramp when the car lost power. No throttle was present and the engine was slowly idling but very roughly. Pulled over and turn ignition off. It started right up as if nothing was wrong. The problem occurs every 2 - 3 weeks but gets worse and harder to keep engine running properly after occurrence. Now check engine light comes on along with the wrench and the engine completely shuts off. The vehicle is now in the shop for $600 throttle body replacement.

The car loses accelerating power at random time and speeds. It has put me in a dangerous spot more than once. Car will lose power in heavy traffic. Car is currently in the shop and has a repair time of 2 to 4 weeks due to the unavailability of the part(enormous backorder).

The first incident occurred when I was driving down the road with the cruise control at about 60 mph and the car would jerk and then would loose power and the check engine and the wrench light came on. The car would be in idle mode and I would have to stop and turn the car off and wait a few minutes before I try to start it again. The second is incident was basically the same only at a different location. The third I was in town going about 40 mph when the car jerked again and went into idle mode. The next few time that it happened I had a very hard time getting it started and moving again. Once I did get it started I would only be able to go a couple of blocks before the car would jerk and go into idle mode. I was lucky to get it to the Ford dealer without having to have it towed.

- Minier, IL, USA

As I was driving the car suddenly stopped and wouldn't go forward. After numerous attempts to restart it finally would go again, but only about a quarter mile before shutting off again. I took it to a mechanic and they said it was codes P2111 and P2112 (the throttle body).

- Kansas City, MO, USA

While at highway speed using cruise control on a slight upgrade, engine suddenly lost power and returned to idle and wrench warning light illuminated. After stopping, it was noted that engine was still running at idle but there was no throttle control. After ignition was shut off for a few minutes, vehicle was restarted and throttle control was found to be normal. Dealer diagnosed likely problem as throttle body, which would be covered under drivetrain warranty but Ford subsequently advised it was not covered. Further, owner was advised part was on indefinite nation-wide back-order with no known availability date but that vehicle was drivable in the meantime with the risk that problem could recur with increasing frequency.

While commuting to work on the highway, the engine started bucking and hesitating, then went into an idle. I was able to pull over on the shoulder, shut the engine off for about 20 seconds. When I restarted it, it took longer to actually start. I drove for another 5 minutes and it happened again. This time I pulled over, turned the engine off and waited a couple minutes before restarting. I was able to drive to the dealer on side roads at no more than 35 mph without another incident. The mechanic told me the throttle body needed to be replaced and it is on backorder until mid-July - 5 weeks away! furthermore, since it is not on recall, they won't pay for a loaner.

In April of 2013 I left work and got up to 45 mph when the car jerked and then lost all power. I floored the gas and the engine did not respond. Was able to pull off the road and noticed a wrench icon light. I stopped the car and put it in park then gave it some gas with no response at all. The car was just barely idling. I shut it off and restarted it, took a few seconds longer than usual for it to start but it seemed to run fine after that and the wrench light was now off. Called the dealer and they said if it's running ok to just keep an eye on it, it might not repeat. I noticed the car would occasionally start jerking like a transmission problem. Took it into the dealer on May 28, 2013 and they could not find a problem. They said it sounded like a throttle body issue but they had none in stock and were back-order. On June 7th I was driving and the car again lost all power, pulled off the road and restarted. Car started but was jerking a lot more. Next day it lost power again as I pulled away from a stop light. Pulled over again, restarted, put in gear and the throttle did not respond. I went through this for 6 restarts until the throttle would respond. This time the engine light came on and remained on until it went to the dealer today. The dealer put my name on a wait list for a new throttle body and said it would be 3-6 weeks until it came in. I am now stuck with a car I'm paying on but can not drive for 3-6 weeks. I'm lucky this didn't happen on a highway or going through a busy intersection. Ford should be forced to recall these.

The engine stalls unpredictably. Check engine light comes on. After a short period, the engine can be started and the car driven without recurrance of the problem, but the check engine light stays on. Local Ford dealership diagnostics indicate problem with the electronic throttle body.

Vehicle stalled and then stopped while in traffic. Re-started, traveled short distance, and it stopped again. This has continued to occur many times while approaching intersections, pulling on highway ramps, and pulling out of intersections. I took it to Ford (Mercury) dealer, but they could not repeat problem. No code reading. Car continued to repeat problem numerous times - no check engine light, no obd codes on reader. Car finally stopped completely. Dealer diagnosed problem as throttle body. Part is on back order - 6 months anticipated since so many (together with Ford Fusion) have the same problem. I see from NHTSA complaints that at least 35 have been registered on Milan. Ford seems to ignore the safety implications or to take any corrective actions. Started just after purchase (31,000 miles). Now had 41,000 miles.

This is the first time this has happened but it happened twice in the same day. When driving the vehicle we experienced the "limp home mode" problem. I can see this has been well documented and the investigations are ongoing. Here's an additional problem with this event, we never got an indicator light of any kind on the dash. We took the vehicle in for service and the dealer was unable to retrieve any errors at all off the computer and they were unable to recreate the problem. Needless to say they were unable to take any corrective action. I pose this question, why when the vehicle obviously detected a problem to go into "limp home" mode would it not record the error in the computer" why would the dealership be unable to see it"

- Boise, ID, USA

The problems have occurred over the last year at low speed while accelerating, when shifting into reverse and at constant speed of 40mph. While accelerating from a full stop the car would suddenly stop accelerating for a few seconds and then lurch forward and begin to accelerate again. Upon startup the car lurched when put into reverse to exit garage. On 5/22/13 the car suddenly went into " limp mode" while at a speed of 40mph. It has been diagnosed by Ford dealer as a throttle body problem. The throttle body is on backorder with no definitive ship date. Car cannot be driven.

On April 19, 2013, I had one incident where my car lost power with no warning. I was going approximately 40 mph. I suddenly realized I had no power and noticed that the wrench light and other lights came on. I was able to steer the car off the road. I had to turn it off and then restart it. I took the car to the dealer service dept but they said they couldn't find anything. It seemed to run rougher for the next month but didn't stall again until May 16. At that time I was going approximately 30 mph. On May 17 it stalled two times while going 70 mph on the interstate. On May 19 it stalled one time while going 60 mph so I parked the car for the weekend. I called the dealer and had to drive over an hour to the dealer. It stalled three times on the way to the dealer. I drove with my flashers on the entire time because I was terrified that I was going to be in an accident or worse. My dealer has determined that it is the throttle body. My car has been stuck in the shop since May 20 waiting for the part that is on nationwide indefinite back order and there is no fix date in sight. My car is not drivable and I am just thankful that I haven't had an accident or been killed because of this problem. I have lost confidence in my car which I was so happy with. I also am paying on a car that I can't even drive.

- Jackson, MO, USA

The first time this happened I was doing 60 mph on the freeway an my car lost power an would not accelerate but I could still turn an brake but the engine was stalling an shaking an the wrench light came one. I coasted off the road shut the car off an restarted it after a few minutes an the engine turned over for about 10 seconds before starting up an it drove fine. I took it in to the dealership an they said they couldn't do anything because they couldn't get the fault to happen so I took my car. Over the last few month it has happened multiple time but now it will stall out an the have the wrench light come one again an when I restart my car it will go about 50 feet an happen again about 7 times in a row. I have taken it to the dealership a few times an I keep getting the same answer.

- Lakewood, WA, USA

Car will lose power at any giving time or speed above 40mph. You must then try to pull off road and turn off and restart. It would only do this once a week, but now it's doing multiple times a day. Dealer will not address it as a warranty problem due to fact it has over 36000 miles on it. Tried to order replacement throttle body thru them but it on back order.
