5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2010 Mercury Milan

Failure Date: 03/16/2021

When driving the vehicle a wrench emblem appeared on my dash warning panel. This has happened twice before. In the last instance the vehicle then dropped speed from 45 mph to 5 mph and ran very roughly. I then pulled the vehicle to the curb and turned off the engine. I restarted the engine then drove home with no issue. I checked my owners manual and found the indicator was a throttle linkage malfunction. I brought the vehicle to a Ford service center. They replaced my battery but this did not alleviate the issue. Luckily for me there was little to no traffic when this problem occurred as without warning my vehicle lost power. I checked if there was a recall for this issue but found none. To me this is a safety issue that should be addressed.

Trottle acutator stuck in closed position as the car was moving about 25 mph, pressed the accelarator but nothing was happening,engine was at iddle, and was able to move to the side of the road. Started the car again and everything worked for abot a minute and then it happened again. When I got home after a few restarts I hooked up my comupter to read the obd code that came on !! it was code p2112 , witch is the trottle acutator module !! after reseting the obd code it was working fine on the driveway. I'll take it for a test drive later. It seems clear that a problem exists with the trottle acutator on the trottle body !!! a design flaw is very possible, and it presents a danger when driving on the road with a sudden loss of power and speed.
