BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING THEN NO BRAKES! UNLESS YOU PUSH THE PEDAL REAL HARD THEN IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND! WHEN YOU STOP VEHICLE STOP THE ENGINE AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN START IT, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS OFF AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE AGAIN! THIS HAPPENED TWICE! THE FIRST TIME WAS MARCH 2018 WE THEN TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CHARGED TO INSTALL NEW BOOSTER AND SOME OTHER DEVICE. TODAY JAN 4TH 2019 THE SAME THING HAPPENED!

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE GOES INTO LIMP MODE 3MPH MAX. DISPLAYS WRENCH SYMBOL ON INSTRUMENTATION PANEL.. NO POSSIBLE ACCELERATION POSSIBLE.. VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU WERE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION ON HIGHWAY. I COULD SEE POSSIBLE FATALITIES. IF YOU SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART WILL RUN AS NORMAL FOR ABOUT A MILE THAN SAME SCENARIO. RAN CODE SHOWED "P2112" FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. IF YOU WERE CROSSING A HIGHWAY I COULD SEE GETTING T-BONED . PLEASE EDUCATE OWNERS TO SAVE LIVES.9.12.18

55,000 MILES. ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DRIVING THROUGH TOWN ABOUT 25 MPH. LOST POWER AND COASTED ACROSS THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS IN TOWN. VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING, HOWEVER HAD NO POWER AND MINIMAL IDLE SPEED. I GOT PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DIAGNOSTIC SAID TO CHECK MANUAL. I TRIED TO DO THAT AND THE VEHICLE WASN'T IDLING THE BEST, SO I SHUT IT OFF. I WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM HER FIRST DAY AT DAYCARE, SO IN A LITTLE DISARRAY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND REGAINED FULL FUNCTIONALITY. THE NEXT DAY IT REPLICATED THE ERROR TWICE IN ABOUT A 4 MILE STRETCH. I GOT IT SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THEN DIRECTLY OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 8 DAYS AND CAN'T REPLICATE THE ERROR.

WHILE TRAVELING IN THE PASSING (3RD) LEFT LANE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH, THE VEHICAL TOTALLY LOSS POWER, MOTOR STILL RUNNING BUT JUST AT AN UNEVEN POOR IDLE, STILL IN GEAR, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, IT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YET THE MOTOR WAS STILL AT THE POOR IDLE. ON THE DASH COMUPTER A WRENCH APPEARED WITH "SEE MANUAL" ALONG WITH A SMALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ABOVE THAT. I WAS FORCED TO GET OUT OF THAT DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO POWER, COASTING THROUGH 3 LANES WITH MY WIFE WAVING OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO LET MY POWERLESS CAR DRIFT OVER. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE MOTOR WAS STILL POORLY IDLING, GIVING IT GAS DID NOTHING, STILL JUST A ROUGH IDLE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND MIRACULOUSLY I ONCE AGAIN HAD CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS STILL 3 HOURS FROM HOME WITH ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING AHEAD OF ME, WHICH I DID DOING 55MPH IN THE SLOW LANE & READY TO TURN OFF ROAD. I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE AS TO NOT HAVE PROBLEMS, LET ALONE THE MOST DANGEROUS EPISODE OF OUR LIVES. WHAT REALLY IS UNACCEPTABLE IS THAT I JUST HAD A 70K MILE CHECKUP AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY RECCOMEND CHANGING MY TRANSFER CASE OIL ALONG WITH AN OIL CHANGE & TIRE ROTATION. I WAS GIVEN A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FOR A ROAD TRIP. I REFUSE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN, ESPECIALLY BEING A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.

BAD THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET. GOING 75 ON A HWY IN AZ AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL POPS UP AND THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKS! LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY SAFELY. RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 TIMES BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO CONNECT A COMPUTER TO IT AND GET CODE P2112 THROTTLE ACTUAUTER CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED WE WERE GOING IT WOULD JUST ALL OF SUDDEN GET STUCK AND THE THROTTLE WOULD NO LONGER WORK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO!

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE TO SEE OWNER'S MANUAL. VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE COULD ONLY COAST. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER WHILE COASTING. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER, STOPPED AND VEHICLE IDLED ROUGH SO SHUT IT OFF. I THEN RESTARTED AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FLUKE WITH THE COMPUTER AND TO BRING IT IN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY SO WE TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY UNDER CODE P2112 WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE FORD HAS HAD FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT FORD DID NOT INCLUDE THE EXPEDITION IN THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS THEIR RECALL DID NOT COVER ALL VEHICLES IMPACTED BY THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH SUDDEN POWER LOSS. SPEED WENT FROM 50 MPH TO 2 MPH. VEHICLE DRIFTED TO A STOP DESPITE PRESSING GAS. AFTER WAITING BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE MOVING AT APPROX. 4 MPH. FRIEND RESPONDING SUGGESTED TURNING ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN. THAT WORKED, POWER RESTORED AND ABLE TO GET HOME. DEALER REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD MALFUNCTIONED.
