“Limp mode- my Mustang about a few months ago when in to limp mode. I was driving down the highway at around 70 when I lost all power to my car and the wrench light came on. I was able to get off the freeway and shut my car down for about 5 minutes. After my car started and I went on my way. I did some research and found it could be the etb (electrical throttle body) it has been find until this weekend. Today I had to reset my vehicle 6 times during a few hour running around. The last time my vehicle just threw a code. …”
NHTSA complaint #11016368, filed 2017-08, 75,000 miles“I was going to work around 15:45 when I had to accelarate on a mountain while I was on the fifth gear. I gave enough gaz but the engine did not want to respond. After arriving at the top of the mountain, not being able to accelerate on the 5th gear, I downshifted to the 4th gear. Same result the engine did not respond. The engine then stalled, battery light came up, oil and engine light came up after. The road was turning radically so I told myself I will try to stop after the curve so I wont be dangerous to other cars in the curve. …”
NHTSA complaint #10954607, filed 2017-02, 10,000 miles“On 8/18/16, I was driving on maryland state route 198, at about 40 MPH, when the car began to lurch forward, stop, lurch forward as I came through a roundabout. I pulled over to the shoulder. I turned the car off, restarted the car, and while on the shoulder, I pressed the gas pedal, and again the car lurched forward twice and then stopped. Wrench light was lit up on dashboard (it wasn't lit moments before) and when I looked at the manual it said the car had defaulted to limp to home and I should see the dealer. I was more than 40 miles from home and called aaa. …”
NHTSA complaint #10897205, filed 2016-08, 61,646 miles“While driving the Mustang (which is a manual transmission) I noticed that the speed of the car doesn't decelerate when I take my foot off the gas pedal. The car is given gas (more than an idle amount) when I do not depress the gas pedal. It happens in all 6 gears but it's most noticeable when in first or second. Also, while the car is in gear, the engine fights to slow down while depressing the brake pedal. This doesn't happen every time but when it occurs while in a parking lot with people around it becomes a serious safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10578148, filed 2014-04, 200 miles“When downshifting in the manual transmission version of this vehicle, the car doesn't slow down on any decline and instead accelerates (without touching the gas pedal). Also, while slowing down on a flat road (at 1,500 to 1,700rpm) the car accelerates by itself and fights the brakes while in gear.”
