I was driving on a small highway (2 times) and a neighborhood street (1 time) going 25 mph (45 mph on the highway) or more when all of the sudden I was unable to accelerate. My car seemed to shift into a different drive with the way it felt and some shaking. I would push the pedal to the floor and nothing would happen. I had to coast into a parking lot twice off of a busy road with my children in the car. When the car was turned off and then back on it was as if nothing ever happened and ran fine so that I could drive home. I had a mechanic do a diagnostic and no codes for this incident where stored or present. The third time it happened I did not shut the car off until someone could come and run a diagnostic which read the code P2112, throttle actuator, control system stuck? replaced the throttle body. This last time it happened, I had to cross two lanes of busy morning work traffic in order to get to a parking lot.

While driving down the very busy interstate at 75-80 mph the vehicle jerked and then lost all throttle power. The wrench indicator light came on. With no throttle I had to ease myself into the narrow shoulder while semi after semi flew by. This was terrifying! I turned the vehicle off & back on and it worked fine to head home. It happened 2 more times on the way home but thankfully on small country roads.

I was drving 70 mph on highway when my car started to loose power and a wrench symbol appeared. I had no power and had to rolled to side of highway. Message said transmission temp 199 degrees. I had it towed to dealer and they are telling me it needs a new throttle body. I am retired and only drive 2 times a week to see grand children, go to store or doctors and I only have about 43,000 miles. Car has had all schrduled maintanance. I see Ford had a recall for other 2015 and 2016 models for throttle body that expired in 2017 but nothing for 2016 Expedition. This is going to cost me $450.
