IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN AN INTERSECTION AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY AT 35 MPH AND 60 MPH AND WHEN EITHER ACCELERATING OR HOLDING AT A STEADY SPEED. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AND UNPREDICTABLE. BECAUSE THE CODE DISAPPEARS UPON RESTARTING IT CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED. I HAD TO GET A CODE READER TO GET THE CODE WHICH HAD TO BE USED AFTER AN EMERGENCY STOP ALONG THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THE LOSS OF POWER. ERROR CODE P2111-THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 10/29/15, 11/16/15, 11/25/15, AND 11/30/15.

A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 05/28/2015 FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH IF ACTIVATED. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I REQUESTED THAT FORD PROVIDE A LOANER CAR AND I WAS ADVISED THAT "AT THIS TIME, IF A LOANER VEHICLE IS AN OPTION, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. FORD IS NOT OFFERING LOANER VEHICLES. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION SAYS THAT IT (NHTSA) WILL ORGANIZE AND PRIORITIZE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATORS TO ENSURE THAT DEFECTIVE INFLATORS ARE REPLACED WITH SAFE ONES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, ADDRESSING THE HIGHEST RISKS FIRST. ACCORDING TO NHTSA ADMINISTRATOR MARK ROSEKIND, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AS SOON AS YOU ARE NOTIFIED THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL THEN." SO I AM BEING TOLD BY THE NHTSA THAT IT IS OK FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE HER VEHICLE AND ESSENTIALLY RISK HER LIFE OR SERIOUS INJURY? I WOULD JUST LIKE CONFIRMATION OF THAT SINCE IT HAS BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS AND NO REPLACEMENT PART IS YET AVAILABLE NOR HAVE I BEEN GIVEN A TIME FRAME FOR WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.
