2011 ford taurus stalls out at high speeds or low speeds, anytime foot is not on accelerator pedal, and once even while backing up. Ford service says that it's because of a defective electronic throttle body, which doesn't set idle speed high enough. Technical service bulletin 10-21-6 for codes p 2111 and p 2112 was issued about this. It started mar 25, 2011, at 5, 092 miles, and was repaired at 5,354 miles. It's occurred five times since (on mar 29, 2011, and june 10, 2011).
