AFTER WAITING AT A LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, I STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, SLOWLY INTO MY LEFT TURN. AT ALMOST COMPLETION OF THE TURN, MY TACHOMETER WENT FROM 3000 RPMS TO OVER 6000 RPMS. THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN JOLT AT THIS MOMENT AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I WENT INTO A SLIDE AND THE CAR SLID ACROSS 2 LANES INTO A TREE FILLED MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WERE NO FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE SUCH A CRASH, AS THE ROAD WAS DRY, IT HADN'T RAINED. THE ROAD WAS WELL PAVED. FINALLY, SPEED WASN'T A FACTOR IN THE CRASH. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DOWNSHIFTS IN GEARS, HOWEVER AFTER A RECENT RECALL WE REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

ON MARCH 27, 2015, I BROUGHT MY MUSTAND TO FORD BECAUSE I DISCOVERED ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR, THAT THE PAINT WAS BUBBLING/COMING APART FROM THE HOOD. ON APRIL 7, 2015, THE FORD DEALER REPAINTED MY HOOD. THEN, I NOTICED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, IN MORE THAN ONE AREA OF MY HOOD THAT THE PAINT WAS LIFTING OFF OF THE HOOD. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY WERE RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THE HOOD OR REPAINT AT NO COST. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DURING THE "WARRANTY PERIOD" AS IN THE MANUAL HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED SINCE IT RETURNED AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SHOWS WRENCH LIGHT AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE. TROUBLE CODES SHOWN P2111 AND P2112. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME DURING DRIVING AND HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES.

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A LEFT TURN, SHIFTING FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WILDLY AND VIOLENTLY ROCKED SIDE TO SIDE AND LOST POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE ON CITY STREETS WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF LEFT TURNS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATE MOVES TO THE RIGHT LANE BEFORE POWER WAS RESTORED. BASED ON OTHER REPORTING AND RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS 18,500 MILES AND HAS A MT-82 TRANSMISSION.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE LAST YEAR IN 2015. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER IN NAPA CALIFORNIA FOR SERVICE/REPAIR. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED YET. I WENT BACK FOR SERVICE IN MARCH 2016, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. IF I AM MAIMED, WOUNDED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT AND NEGLIGENT PROCESS, I HOPE MY FAMILY FILES A HUGE LAW SUITE AND FORD AND THE US GOVERNMENT FOR FAILURE OF OVERSIGHT OF A KNOWN DEFECT CAUSE HARM OR DEATH.
