“P2112 error keeps coming up causing sudden lose of power in the vehicle. This has happened while driving on the freeway, causing a panic moment to get to the shoulder, and on city and rural roads. We have to pull over shut the vehicle down and then restart it so that we can continue driving.”

NHTSA complaint #11330390, filed 2020-06, 64,000 miles

“Vehicle stopped when in traffic, multiple times. Dealer is replacing the electronic carburetor sensor which electronically connects the gas pedal to the engine. Said they have had to do this on several vehicles lately. My son owns a 2015 f150 and his truck had the exact same problem last week. Must be a widespread problem if several vehicles in our small town have had the same failure.”

“While driving on a city parkway going around 35-40mph. My Expedition suddenly started shuddering and decelerating. The wrench light came on. I pulled over to the side of the road. I looked up in the owner's manual what that meant. It said to contact an authorized repair center. I went to the local Ford dealership. They ran the diagnostic and said it was the throttle body. They also stated it is a known problem with the eco-boost engines. …”

“While driving on a city street I lost power and control to the engine. Control of the engine is lost when without warning acceleration is lost. The car will slow until about 5 miles an hour speed. The rpms will fluctuate up and down and stepping on the accelerator does nothing. No warning is given, and I almost got into an accident. The diagnostic was completed at a Ford dealership and it turn out to be the throttle body. This seems to be a known issues with Ford cars. This is very dangerous as it can happen at any time. …”
