While making a right turn in my 2010 ford escape the car loss all acceleration. The next morning it happened twice more. My mechanic took the car & attached to the computer and the code p2112 appeared. He cleaned the throttle body and took a test drive. It lost acceleration 10 more times. This is a disgrace and the part must be recalled by the ford motor company! *tr

My husband was driving out of a parking lot when all of a sudden the orange wrench light came on. The car started to decrease in acceleration even though his foot was on the gas pedal. He then applied pressure to the brakes to pull over to the side and the car pulsed to a stop. He put the car in park and shut it off. When trying to restart the car would not turn over right away, and took at least 5 seconds or more…

Thankfully we were able to do so safely. We drove the vehicle to our…

I was traveling approximately 35-40 mph when my car stalled, but not shutting off and the rpm fluttering between 1000-2000 rpm. My accelerator pedal would not allow me to press it to increase rpm or mph. Next my check engine light came one and the wrench symbol as well. I call my local ford dealership/service and he explained it to be the accelerator throttle body and there is a national back order for this part. If…
