2011 Ford Mustang Driver assistance Problems

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG (WITH A V6 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AT 40MPH ON A LOCAL STREET, I EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOSING POWER AND A FAULT LIGHT IN THE FORM OF A WRENCH APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ENGINE SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO IDLE AND DID NOT RESPOND TO ANY GAS PEDAL OPERATION. THE CARS ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY AS EVIDENCE OF IT SHAKING THE ENTIRE CAR. THE INCIDENT PLACED MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME IN DANGER, AS I HAD TO MOVE QUICKLY TO GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE MOVING TRAFFIC AND INTO A SAFE PLACE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

2011 FORD MUSTANG 3.7L V6 CONVERTIBLE, PREMIUM, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THROTTLE BODY FAILURE (PART # AT4Z-9E926-B) WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATES, THE DASHBOARD 'WRENCH LIGHT' COMES ON, THE FRONT END OF THE CAR RUMBLES AND SHAKES, AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS AT MODERATE SPEED ON LOCAL ROADS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN RESTART, IT USUALLY RUNS NORMALLY. ON ONE OCCASION, IT DID NOT. IT DECELERATED AND THEN STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING TOLD THERE 'WAS NO CODE,' SO THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I COASTED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT, AFTER WHICH IT RAN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AND THEN STALLED. EVERY INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD WAS ILLUMINATED. IT SEEMED AS IF THE CAR WAS CHOKING. I REPEATED THIS OVER AND OVER, CREEPING DOWN THE SHOULDER, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN MY CASE, THIS PART HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, MOST RECENTLY ON OCT 29, 2019. ACCORDING TO MY SERVICE RECORDS, PART # AT4Z-9E926-B WAS USED FOR EACH REPLACEMENT. APPARENTLY, FORD REPLACES A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT OR IMPROVED PART THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL. 2015: CODE P2135, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 2016: SENT AWAY FROM DEALERSHIP, NO FAULT CODES, UNABLE TO VERIFY 2016: RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER I WAS SENT AWAY; CODE P0315, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 2016: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16B23, REIMBURSED FOR THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT 2019: NO FAULT CODE NOTED ON SERVICE PAPERWORK, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY

SO THE CAR HAS A ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AND WILL BE GOING BACK ON MONDAY AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IT STARTS UP IT RUNS AT THE 1 RPM THEN IT GOES DOWN FROM THERE, NOT LETTING THE CAR GETTING ANY FUEL OR SPEED FOR IT TO GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I HAVE CLEARED THE CODES AND WORKS FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS LAST TIME THE CODE WOULDN'T CLEAR OFF SO I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE CODE ON IT IS P2111. JUST VERY FRUSTRATING KNOWING THAT I CANT REALLY ON MY CAR TO GET WHERE I NEED TO BE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY FIXING TO GO TO WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED AND COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED AGAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TO CLEAR THE CODES. AND THE THIRD TIME I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT ON 01/06/2018 WHEN IT STOPPED MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. JUST DOESN'T GET ANY POWER TO THE CAR. MY COPY OF THE INVOICE IS IN MY CAR WHICH IS AT THE BILLINGSLEY FORD DEALERSHIP NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A TRIGGER IN REGARD TO RAIN, HOT, OR COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS OR HOW IT IS BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE HAD A FORD DEALERSHIP WORK ON THIS TO NO AVAIL. I WILL START WITH THE SAFETY ASPECT THAT IS AFFECTED. IT WILL DO ALL OF THESE THINGS AT ONCE AND THEN SLOWLY COME BACK ONLINE, SOMETIMES THE ERRORS DO NOT CORRECT THEMSELVES. 1. NO BRAKE LIGHTS 2. NO REAR TURN SIGNAL 3. NO HEAT/AIR (IT WILL TURN ON AND OFF) - WHICH IS BAD IN INCLEMENT WEATHER FOR OLD PEOPLE 4. BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR, SERVICE ENGINE, ALL HAVE ERRORS. 5. RADIO WILL TURN ON AND OFF. IT WILL CYCLE THROUGH THESE THINGS FAILING, THEY MAY FAIL MULTIPLE TIMES PER MINUTE OR JUST STAY IN FAIL MODE, OR THEY MAY JUST CORRECT THEMSELVES. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN INFREQUENTLY AND SLOWLY STEPPED UP TO VERY FREQUENTLY. I WILL ATTACH A LINK TO A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT WILL SHOW MY CAR. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=-1ZQR4WBVQW

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 V6 MUSTANG THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON SIDE STREETS. THERE IS NO WARNING. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IS FORCED TO IDLE. NO RESPONSE AT ALL TO THROTTLE INPUT. ERROR CODE READ IS P2111 WHICH INDICATES "THROTTLE ACTUATOR "A" CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN". IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IN THIS VEHICLE IS THE SAME AS USED IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE OTHER VEHICLES BUT EVERYONE SUFFERING FROM THIS ON THE V6 MUSTANG IS ON THEIR OWN. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE ACCELERATING TO MERGE AND VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR HAVE TO LIMP TO THE SHOULDER THROUGH TRAFFIC AT IDLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $300 FOR A FULL THROTTLE BODY SERVICE AND THE SAME THING IS STILL HAPPENING.

IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN AN INTERSECTION AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY AT 35 MPH AND 60 MPH AND WHEN EITHER ACCELERATING OR HOLDING AT A STEADY SPEED. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AND UNPREDICTABLE. BECAUSE THE CODE DISAPPEARS UPON RESTARTING IT CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED. I HAD TO GET A CODE READER TO GET THE CODE WHICH HAD TO BE USED AFTER AN EMERGENCY STOP ALONG THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THE LOSS OF POWER. ERROR CODE P2111-THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 10/29/15, 11/16/15, 11/25/15, AND 11/30/15.

CAR RANDOMLY GOES INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. CODE COULD NOT BE CAUGHT BY DEALER SO I PURCHASED A SCANNER. CODE CAUGHT EVERYTIME IS P2111 REPRESENTING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR IS STUCK OPEN. THIS CAN HAPPEN WITHIN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING OR UP TO 20 MILES. IT CAN HAPPEN AT 5 MPH OR 65 MPH. IT CAN HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF A TRIP OR 30 MINUTES IN. IT CAN HAPPEN ONCE OR EVERY FEW MINUTES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE LIMP HOME DOES NOT GET ENOUGH POWER TO GET OFF ROAD. I ALMOST CAUSED A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT . CAN YOU IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST STOPS? IT DOESN'T EVEN COAST. I SEE THIS COMPLAINT ON ALOT OF FORD FORUMS. IT IS LIKE FORD IS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED OR SUE THEM BEFORE THEY SOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS MY BATTERY. I WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE AND THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND I HAD KNOWN, THE BATTERY IS FINE. I HAVE BEEN INTO FORD SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES AND WHEN I RETURN THEY DO EVERTHING BUT FIX THE ISSUE. THE DATE BELOW IS THE 1ST TIME EXPERIENCED. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT THIS YEAR IS EVERYTIME I DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE LEFT LANE OF THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY, A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY BETWEEN FT. LAUDERDALE AND MIAMI, I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND I WENT FROM 60 MPH DOWN TO NOTHING BY THE TIME I WAS OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CARS BEHIND ME WERE OBVIOUSLY BRAKING HARD TO AVOID SMASHING INTO ME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAS ABOUT TO CALL AAA, BUT THE HEAT INDEX THAT DAY WAS AROUND A MILLION DEGREES SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE HAD RETURNED SO I CAUTIOUSLY LIMPED THE CAR BACK HOME IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE THE WHOLE WAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME FREAK COMPUTER GLITCH UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN GOING TO THE STORE THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND BEFORE I EVEN GOT THE PROBLEM OOUT OF MY MOUTH THE SERVICE TECH SAID " IT IS YOUR THROTTLE BODY. WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. IT WILL BE ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR". IF THE TECHS ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THE HAVE BEEN PLACED IN AS A RESULT, AND THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER FORD MODELS, THEN WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA DONE ANYTHING TO FORCE FORD TO RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE MUSTANG? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? HAS SOMEBODY DIED BECAUSE OF THIS?
