WHEN PULLING OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A DIVIDED FOUR LANE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE ALMOST CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE WAS LATER TO BE DETERMINED P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR A CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE FORD 3.5 ECOBOOST MOTOR HAS QUITE A HISTORY OF THESE TYPE FAILURES. OFTEN DRIVER SAFETY IS COMPROMISED AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WILL LOSE POWER JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT. THE FIX IS TO INSTALL A NEW THROTTLE BODY WITH ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR.
