“My 2013 Ford Mustang feels as if it drops into 1st gear while at a speed of 40 to 60 MPH feels as if the car brakes on its own rpms will go up but speedometer will be on 0 MPH. I think the f 150 is having a similar problem and my Mustang does have the v6 automatic transmission”

The engine itself doesn't stop running but the car loses acceleration and it does not accelerate when the gas is pressed. This has mostly happened when the car is in motion but has also happened when not moving. It has happened mostly while on city streets. This has today I had a problem with this and the check engine light came on. I put a code reader on the port and received the code p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. …”
NHTSA complaint #11359889, filed 2020-09, 117,920 miles“My vehicle has failed without warning four times in the past 3 months. Once the vehicle fails it is in a no-start condition. Furthermore, there is random stalling when I'm driving the vehicle and the has been for quite some time. Once in the vehicle fails it will not restart. The first time my car failed was upon startup when I was at work for 4 hours. I came out to my car to start it and it would not start. The second time my vehicle failed it was without warning while driving in traffic, again would not start. …”
NHTSA complaint #11003748, filed 2017-07, 96,500 miles“Under medium to hard acceleration exhaust fumes enter the cabin, possible exhaust defect in exhaust manifold, smells like raw fumes not passed thru catalytic converter. Widows are closed during acceleration.usually when accelerating onto highway etc. It does this every time I drive it. Not an occasional thing always.”
NHTSA complaint #11033268, filed 2017-10, 29,000 miles“No acceleration possible. Fuel cut out. Pulled over car shook. Turned off. Back on 15 minutes later. Happened 5 more times in heavy traffic. Dealership said tgey fixed it, but problem persists. Same code: check fuel fill inlet. Car only 3 years old. What a joke. No more fords for me and the Ford motor company has been terrible!”
