When pulling out into heavy traffic on a divided four lane road, the vehicle suddenly lost power and went into limp mode almost causing a serious accident. The check engine light came on and the code was later to be determined P2112 throttle actuator a control system stuck closed. After researching the issue it was apparent that the Ford 3.5 ecoboost motor has quite a history of these type failures. Often driver safety is compromised as the vehicle suddenly and without warning will lose power just when you need it. The fix is to install a new throttle body with electronic actuator.
