Without warning engine quickly slows to idle, runs rough, and / or dies. Wrench is displayed on dash & note to see manual / dealer. Code = P2112 = throttle body stuck. Turning off engine and then back on again - it works again. Happened 4 times in past week in various places while driving so stopped driving car until fixed. Very scary!

Truck started turning off while driving not marking anything in dashboard for 3 days. Then days after it turned off again but the engine light turned on. Now it's sitting in my garage because I took some parts apart to see the problem. My dashboard now marks 'check engine ' 'P2112'.

Vehicle suddenly slowed from 35mph to 4mph and wrench light went on. Limped 1 miles to nearest Ford dealer whose svc dept was closed on sat. While waiting for a ride home(60 miles) I restarted vehicle and hour later and drove for 2 miles. All seemed fine but after reading multiple reports of people that attempted to drive in the same circumstances, only to be stranded, I decided to leave it at the dealer. They got to it on Tuesday, and told me no error codes were available, therefore they could not do anything. They drove a 38 mile test with no issues. Since the throttle body problem is well documented on 3.5L engines I believe this is a matter of dealer not being able to get paid from Ford rather than not being able to fix the problem. 60K emission warranty applies vehicle mileage 53K. Reported to Ford customer complaint dept(india) and I have a case #. there has been no recall but there are a lot of cases reported on line on this issue. I believe it is a dangerous conditon that should be taken care of by Ford immediately. Service mgr at another dealership told me it happened to him in the left lane of the freeway- also "we do a lot of them, but Ford won't pay for the repairs without a trouble code.I am picking the vehicle up today and am very concerned about its reliability. I live in reno nv and drive in remote areas frequently, often will no cell service.

My 2017 Ford Expedition with 60,000 miles, loses power randomly, without any warning when driving. I have to pull over immediately, shut it off and turn it back on. Ford dealership service department said it's the throttle body and gasket.

While driving highway speed ~65mph on a straight highway vehicle showed wrench light and loss engine power. Driver had to the side of the highway without speed control. Ignition switch was turned off and back on and the wrench light was gone and the vehicle drove normally. The wrench light turned on again at ~40mph on a city street going straight a few days later. The driver again had to pull to the side and reset the ignition to regain accelerator control. Vehicle diagnostic was run and no codes were stored.

2017 Ford Expedition. Car was running normal, cruising at 45mph on city street, then unexpected loss of throttle, causing immediate deceleration. Accelerator no longer responding to input. Wrench light came on; had to coast to a stop with traffic coming fast behind me. Shut off car and restarted it, and was able to drive it to the dealership. Dealer replaced faulty electronic throttle body.
