Similar to man of the complaints on this vehicle; it ended up being the throttle body issue. My mother-in-law was driving and it suddenly wouldn't accelerate. A car almost rear-ended her. She was able to coast to the side of the road. She noticed that the "wrench" light was on. She started it up and "limped" to the ford dealer. About $700 later, the throttle body was changed. There is only 30,000 miles on the…

Power cut off suddenly, and car had to be restarted multiple times to "limp home." the dealer diagnosed a problem with the throttle body and replaced it, but it was not covered under warranty. I understand from the internet that several other models have been given an extended warranty by ford for this problem, but not the focus yet. *tr

I drive approximately [redacted] to work and back. During this trip i am spend a lot of time on two lane major access roadways with speeds of 55 mph. Driving at a steady 60 mph throughout most of my trip, i had a sudden loss of power in heavy traffic and the orange wrench that signifies "limp home mode" came on. Since half of my trip is on roads that are rural in amenities, i was unable to limp to the nearest ford…

My wife was driving on the freeway, and the car stopped responding to the gas pedal suddenly. The light with the wrench image came on also at that time. Somehow she was able to pull over safely on the shoulder. She turned the car off and after she turned the car back on the warning wrench light was gone. And the vehicle responded to the gas pedal fine. She had to drive in the right lane cautiously with the emergency…

Experiencing rough idle and complete loss of power at normal speed, engine check and wrench light comes on at time of issue. Had a diagnostic check at advance auto and error code p2135 throttle position sensor/switch a/b voltage correlation and also error code p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. I believe this to be a safety issue due to complete lose of power at normal driving speed and just enough…

I drove with several friends for over an hour to a football game. As we were approaching the stadium going 35-40 mph, the car suddenly lost acceleration and a wrench light and check engine light came on. We pulled over, turned the car off and on again and were able to go about a half mile before the same thing happened again. I had it towed to a ford dealer where they found that the throttle body had failed. I was…

This has been a re occurring problem that the throttle body sticks causing my vehicle to go into "limp mode" causing the car to almost loose power. This has had several close calls now, it does get better when cleaned but is needing cleaned more and more often. *tr

It's not just the mercury milan and ford escape having the throttle body sensor/assembly issue. I was driving down the 694 interstate in minnesota when my car went into limp mode and the wrench warning light appeared on my dash. I was able to find some shoulder and pull over, turn my car off and restart it and make it home. I brought it to automation in white bear lake, mn. The following day and spent $800 for the…

I first started to notice a problem about 2 years after owning this car. Bought it brand new from the dealership. One day after an oil change i was sitting at a stop light and the car felt like it was about to sputter and die out. I revved the engine and once i started to move it didn't seem to be an issue. I took it into ford and they told me it was the a/c unit circling on and that this was normal. I thought it…
