37 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2016

While driving my son's 2016 Fusion on the highway at about 60 mph the check engine light came on and the car seem to loose all power. The car wouldn't accelerate even though I had the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I managed to get to shoulder safely and parked. I tried restarting the car several times with the same results ( check engine light remained on, stepping on the accelerator the car doesn't move and the gas gauge dropped from 3/4 to empty. ) I shut the car off and and contacted Ford towing service because the car had only 6000 miles on it. After an hour and a half waiting I checked the status of the tow and was told the company cancelled and didn't tell Ford so it would be another hour for a new tow. I decided to try the car again and to my surprise the check light was off and the car was operating again. I got off the highway at the first exit and headed for the Ford dealership where my son purchased the car. The car lost power again but this time I let it sit for 20 minutes before restarting the car. It worked with one difference the check engine light remained on. I got to the dealer and they pulled two codes. P2111 and p2112 ( throttle body failure ) I got the impression they were not surprised and replaced the throttle body the next day.
