2010 FORD FUSION Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Car was checked for recall 15S34 and incorrectly determined to not have a problem. This recall deals with the gas tank cracking open. This car will pool gas on the ground under the car. Ford says since this was previously looked at, even if the determination was false, they will not take any action or help with it. Please assist - this is a known problem and should be repaired under the recall.

Unknown, I was driving in my wheel stop moving , it’s saying now power steering wheel, for my breaks, it keep saying check brake system

The throttle body failed. It is not available for inspection because it was replaced. While driving on a high-speed road, the engine felt like it shuddered, and the car lost engine power and would no longer accelerate. At the same time, the light shaped like a wrench came on. Our safety was therefore put at risk because we could now barely accelerate, and could easily have been rear-ended. The problem was confirmed and repaired by an independent service center. After doing the repair, the service center informed us that there was a Ford Customer Satisfaction Service Bulletin (13NO3) for this problem. We called Ford about this bulletin and were told that the Bulletin was limited to ten years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first. Even though our car is over ten years old, it only has 87,000 miles on it.

Electronic Throttle Body Car lost power on busy, construction road Manufacturer issued secret warranty to owners and did not send out notice Multiple certified mechanics have inspected the vehicle Check engine, ABS, service advance trac, and power train lights were on and i am uncertain when they first came on

Driving on the highway in the fast lane, vehicle suddenly lost all power. A message on the car said “ pull over safely “. No prior warning of anything wrong with the vehicle. I managed to dodge traffic with my hazard lights on and came to a stop on the side of the highway. I inspected the car with no signs of anything wrong. I shut down the car and restarted. Everything came back on and was drivable. This caused me to look online, only to discover that other people are having the same problem as I have described. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. This is a very dangerous situation to be in, not able to keep moving on a very busy highway.

My 2010 Ford fusion has no power steering and I believe a fuel injector problem. The service power steering message appears the engine light is on. I was told it had something to do with needing a fuel injector. This problem needs to be recalled ASAP

Lug nuts are all stripped or broken. Check engine light, check fuel fill inlet message, poor driving all around, lack of power. Brake calipers broke off and brake pads fell out. Power steering locks up every once in a while

My vehicle will no longer operate in electric mode. This is a major safety concern since there is no assist from the high-voltage battery powered electric drive motor. Upon accelerating from a dead stop, there is a significant lag before the ICE kicks in and provides enough power to move the vehicle.

While driving, the throttle body valve malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to rapidly lose power and go into an engine "safe mode." The check engine light appeared on the dash. I was luckily able to pull over to the side of the road. Restarting the vehicle cleared the error, but the issue continued to recur until I was able to get home. Luckily the sudden loss of power did not cause an incident, but as it occurred on the highway, a sudden drop in speed could have posed a safety risk, especially if it had occurred in inclement weather. There was a recall for the specific part that failed, but due to my model being a hybrid, it was not included even though it contained the exact faulty component. Speaking with Ford Customer Care confirmed this to be the case that my specific car was not included in the recall. I was able to order the replacement part myself and perform the repair. The error message that was thrown in the car's OBD system was: P2112 "Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed" The code was not saved in the module so it could only be read at the time the issue was actively occurring before the vehicle was turned off.

Car stalled at a stop light on [XXX] where the speed limit is 50MPH. My [XXX] daughter was driving and could not restart the car. When the light turned green she was stuck in the middle of the road and trucks and other drivers where riding right up to her at 60+ MPH before they switched lanes honking and flipping her off. She could have been struck and killed. Took to mechanic after I was able to get on-site and start the car. P1450 Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum. Was told this is very common with this year of Ford Fusion and Ford knows of the issue. Why not a recall to change the solenoid and purge valve before someone gets killed if they haven't already. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHENEVER I PUT GAS IN THE CAR I HAVE TO GO EXTREMELY SLOW OR THE FUEL WILL "SPIT" BACK OUT ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION AT THE PUMP.

Gasoline was leaking from the top of the gas tank down the side of the tank near the passenger side rear tire (opposite side from the fuel filler cap). This was first notice on 10/8/2023. The gas would leak when the tank was filled until approximately 1 gallon had leaked out on the ground underneath the tank. I put a container under the car near the passenger side tire to catch the gas. There was a strong smell of gas inside and around the car. We took the car to the mechanic who said the gas tank had a crack at the top of the tank. The mechanic replaced the tank with a used tank which cost approximately $514.00 total installed. A new tank would have cost approximately $1100.00 installed.

I noticed a gasoline smell coming from my car. After taking it in to be examined, it was discovered that the fuel tank had a leak in it - right next to the exhaust pipe. A disaster waiting to happen.

My vehicle is having trouble at first start after refueling the vehicle and I made a research and found that there is a recall for some same model of my vehicle that there is a problem with the purge valve. The recall number is 15S34. My vehicle is having the same trouble as mentioned in the recall but my vehicle is not listed as recall under the vin even though I am having problems. I have attached the recall document below that my vehicle needs.

Furl tank leaks and seapage. There’s a past recall yet dealer will not fix.

A few years back there was a recall on a fuel system part cause it would emit strong gasoline odor. Same issue has come back. Dealership states that recall was completed and they could not repair the very same issue without charging for it.

I believe it is the Fuel System Throttle Body. Yes it is available for inspection. While driving on the freeway at 60 mph, and on city streets 30 mph, the car suddenly stalled out. The wrench warning light came on for about 3-5 seconds, but the car was already stalling out. This was a extreme danger to myself and all other drivers in my vicinity. I plan to have the vehicle inspected. No other inspection has been done. Wrench Warning Light came on about 3-5 seconds before car stalled out power seemed to decrease as I pressed the pedal.

MY CAR IS LEAKING FUEL. I AM UNABLE TO PASS THE SMOG. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY ALREADY 'INSPECTED' MY FUEL TANK IN 2016 AND IT WAS FINE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT NOW. THIS WAS RECALLED. IT IS EFFECTING MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO REPAIR IT. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED AND MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT.

MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WON'T DO THE OPEN RECALLED FOE MY CAR BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IF PART IS GOOD OR NOT.. I WENT AND PICK UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP THEY ONLY DID THE AIRBAG.. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU GUYS COULD CONTACT THEM AND LET THEM KNOW TO REPLACE THE PART.. RECALL NUMBER IS 15S34

AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY IS FAILING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THIS CAR. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON NON HYBRID MODELS BUT NOT HYBRID MODELS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IDENTICAL PARTS.

WHY??? I COULD HAVE DIED!!!!

1.) C/S AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON - LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOUND PASSENGER AIRBAG IN B PILLAR IS CAUSE - NOT RELATED TO RECENTLY COMPLETED RECALL 19S34 ON PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATER NPA1908055946 PER DEALERSHIP. NOT SURE WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS IN THESE VEHICLES ARE PROBLEMATIC, BUT THE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARGES FOR REPLACEMENT OF THESE PROBLEMATIC PARTS. POSSIBLE NEW RECALL NEEDED. 2.) RECALL 15V34 RELATING TO LEAKING CANISTER PURGE VALVE - FORD AUTHORIZED AN UPDATE TO THE VEHICLE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE CALIBRATIONS TO HELP PREVENT PRESSURE CYCLES IN THE FUEL TANK - THESE CALIBRATIONS WERE PERFORMED HOWEVER THE PURGE VALVE HAS STILL FAILED. THE PART 9U5Z-9C915-H WAS ORIGINALLY RECOMMENDED 4 YEARS AGO WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME, ON SPECIAL ORDER. VEHICLE OWNER REQUESTED REPAIR / PART REPLACEMENT REPEATEDLY BUT WAS TOLD THE PART REMAINED UNAVAILABLE AND WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE RE-CALIBRATION UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED THE RECALL WITHOUT REPLACING THE PART - 6 MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAUSE IS THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND THE OWNER IS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT COSTS. RECALL SHOULD BE HONORED. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO GRIFFIN FORD IN TIFTON GA FOR THE AIR BAGS RECALL AND THE FUEL TANK RECALL. THEY FIXED THE AIR BAGS BUT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FUEL RECALL. BUT I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE CAR WILL BURST GAS OUT WHILE PUMPING AND GAS LEAK UNDER THE CAR. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT THE FORD PLACE IN TURNER COUNTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CANISTER VALVE SOLENOID. BUT THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL ON IT. I'M CONFUSED NOW I GOT TO BUY ONE AND PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

CAR ACCELLERATION IS SLUGGISH/WEAK AFTER CAR COMES TO COMPLETE STOP. POSES REAL DANGER WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY LEFT TURNS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OTHERS. CAUSE IS DESIGN DEFECT IN VEHICLE/BATTERY AGE COUNTER IN CAR'S COMPUTER. ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE DIGIT. CAUSES BATTERY TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY AFTER CAR REACHES 10 YEARS OF AGE. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AORIL 2010. HAD LOCAL AUTO SHOP RESET COUNTER TO "0". (CAR HAS ONLY 77,000 MILES) NOW FUNCTIONS AS INTENDED. COPY OF REPAIR INVOICE ATTACHED.

IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED THAT IN MANY IF NOT ALL FMC 4 DOOR SEDAN HYBRIDS WITH THE 2.5 LITER ENGINE AND NICKLE METAL HYDRIDE BATTERIES, OEM SOFTWARE STARTS TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE ELECTRIC VEHICLE OPERATION SOMETIME AFTER THE HYBRID WARRANTY EXPIRES. THE EFFECT OF THIS IS THE CAR'S ACCELERATION AND FUEL EFFICIENCY IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED AND AUTOMATIC PERIODIC BATTERY RE-CONDITIONING CEASES. THE CAR ESSENTIALLY CEASES TO FUNCTION AS A HYBRID AND THE ENGINE RUNS ALL THE TIME EXCEPT WHEN AT A STANDSTILL. UP TO 70,000 VEHICLES MAY BE AFFECTED. IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THIS ID CONTROLLED BY A BATTERY AGE FEATURE IN THE SOFTWARE. RESETTING THIS AGE TO ANY LOWER VALUE RESTORES COMPLETELY NORMAL HYBRID BEHAVIOR AND PERFORMANCE. FMC HAS REFUSED TO DO THIS INSTEAD QUOTING BATTERY REPLACEMENT FOR $8,000 AS THE SOLUTION. D.O. E. TESTS MANY YEARS AGO SHOWED ROBUST PERFORMANCE OF THE BATTERY OUT TO 160,000 MILES IN ACCELERATED TESTING. THE FIX IS A TEN MINUTE SOFTWARE BATTERY AGE CHANGE THAT FMC REFUSES TO DO. THE REDUCED ACCELERATION IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ATKINSON CYCLE ENGINE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE UNASSISTED BY THE BATTERY AND HAS VERY SLOW POWER ACCELERATION WITHOUT IT.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID SE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFAX, VA. AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER OPERATES IN ELECTRIC MODE (IT ONLY OPERATES IN GAS MODE). MY AVERAGE MPG HAS DROPPED FROM 37-40 MPG TO 25-27 MPG. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER MANASSAS, VA IN NOV 2019 WHO INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO FIX IT (THEY INITIALLY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE BUT WAIVED THE FEE AND SENT ME HOME). THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS IN FORD VEHICLE FORUMS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CONSENSUS IS THAT FORD PROGRAMMED THE ELECTRONIC MODE TO STOP WORKING AFTER 9 YEARS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO DISCLOSURE THAT I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE A PROPERLY WORKING HYBRID AFTER 9 YEARS. THIS END-OF-LIFE DECISION WOULD HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE VEHICLE'S ECU AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED BY FORD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. HAD FORD DISCLOSED THIS, IT WOULD HAVE DIRECTLY IMPACTED MY DECISION TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. THE FIX APPEARS TO BE REPROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT THINK IT IS LESS THAN 9 YEARS OLD WHICH RETURNS THE HYBRID FUNCTIONS TO NORMAL. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL FORUMS, SOME FORD SERVICE CENTERS HAVE CONDUCT THIS FIX, BUT THE MAJORITY OF FORD SERVICE CENTERS ARE NOT WILLING/ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN FORD'S OASIS DATABASE WITH NO SOLUTION. TSB #SSM 48238 NHTSA ID #10167224 WAS ANNOUNCED IN OCT 2019. REFER TO FORUMS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS: (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C28475_DS1000144), (HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FUSION_HYBRID/2010/TSBS/), (HTTPS://WWW.FORDFUSIONFORUM.COM/TOPIC/19361-MY-INSTRUCTIONS-ON-RESTORING-THE-HYBRID-EV-FUNCTION-ON-THE-FORD-FUSION-HYBRID-APPROACHING-THE-89-YEARS-MARK/).

FROM A COMPLETE STOP, CAR STUTTERS AND PAUSES BEFORE STARTING TO MOVE AS IF IT'S TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH FORM OF POWER TO USE - THE ELECTRIC BATTERY OR THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BECOME QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S ENOUGH TIME TO BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE. WHEN IT DOES "KICK IN", IT LURCHES AND MAKES A 'KNOCKING' NOISE. I'M VERY CONCERNED I'M GOING TO BE SMASHED INTO ONE DAY DUE TO IT NOT MOVING. SEARCHING ONLINE AND READING THROUGH THE FORD FUSION FORUMS, I'VE FOUND THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SYSTEM READING THE ELECTRIC BATTERY AGE. THIS STUTTERING HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY NOW. MY COMMUTE IS ALL CITY DRIVING AND HAPPENS WHEN COMING OUT OF A COMPLETE STOP, NO MATTER IF I'M TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR, HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW, AND HAVE LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A LONG TIME TO COME, BUT, IF THIS CONTINUES, I FEAR I WILL BE INJURED - OR WORSE - DUE TO THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY, MANY FUSION HYBRID OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT SEEM TO NOT BE GETTING ANY RESPONSE FROM FORD.

I HAD ALREADY GOTTEN MY THROTTLE BODY REPAIRED THE YEAR BEFORE MY CAR STARTED JOLTING AS IF IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THIS TIME THOUGH THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP WHEN I TRIED ACCELERATE FROM STOP, RPMS WOULD GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 5 BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS FLICKERED. TOOK IT TO FORD AND NOTHING WAS FOUND SO I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT SAME DAY THE CAR STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORD THEY OFFERED TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND RETURNED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. NOT EVEN 24HRS AFTER STARTED THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK CAR TO AUTO ZONE THEY IMMEDIATELY FOUND AN ERROR FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO FORD WHERE THEY HAD ME LEAVE IT FOR TWO DAYS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TECH TO LOOK AT IT. THEY THEN SAID OIL HAD LEAKED ONTO THE SENSOR CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIVE THAT WAY. REPLACED THAT AND THE HEAD THAT WAS LEAKING. CAR WAS STILL JOLTING AND DRIVING AS IF THROTTLE BODY WAS MESSED UP BUT WORSE. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK THAT SAME WEEK THEY FOUND A SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WHOLE WHILE I WAS 8-9 MONTHS PREGNANT AND ENDED UP SPENDING 1200 DOLLARS ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIMR AND IN MY OPINION A SIDE EFFECT FROM THE CAR HAVING A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY FOR SO LONG BEFORE THEY ALLOWED IT TO BE FIXED.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAD THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAR HAS TWO OPEN RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS AND FUEL TANK, ALONG WITH AN EXTENDED ONE ON MY THROTTLE BODY, THEY CAN'T GET MY CAR IN UNTIL NEXT MONTH. I'VE TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS, AND REPLACED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD RESET THE COMPUTER AS THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP AND IS CONTROLLED BY A COMPUTER CHIP.

WE HAD DRIVEN TO A FOOTBALL GAME, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS WORKED, IT TURNED OVER PERFECTLY EVERY TIME, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC IN THE MORNING AND IT STARTED FOR THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE TEST THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP STARTING. CHECKED THE CODES AND IT SAID O2 SENSOR. REPLACED O2 SENSOR. CAR DIED ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE MECHANIC WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHERE VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING 60MPH WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TERRIFYING! I BARELY CHUGGED ACROSS THE LANES AND GOT THE NOSE OF MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A FEW TRIES IT RESTARTED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK THE BATTERY CABLES OFF THE BATTERY FOR THE WEEKEND AS I READ THAT COULD HELP THE FAULTY COMPUTER ISSUE. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AGAIN. A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THIS, I NOTICED THAT AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN REALLY FAST LIKE PULSING.

FILLED CAR WITH GAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER REPLACING CANISTER PURGE VALVE BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER ON 14 DECEMBER 2018 FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL AND ASKED TO HAVE THE FUEL SMELL CHECKED. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD THE TANK WAS CRACKED AND NEEDS REPLACING. HE SHOWED ME WITH THE CAR ON THE RACK THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK.

MY CAR HAS A CAPLESS FUEL SYSTEM BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING AFTER I FUEL UP AND STAYS ON. I HAVE HAD THE CODE THAT APPEARS TESTED AND ALWAYS COMES BACK AS A "MISSING OR LOOSE GAS CAP " WHICH CLEARLY IS IMMPOSSIBLE SINCE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ONE, WHEN I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH IT BUT WOULD COST $700-1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE AND FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. IT'S ALARMING THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A SILLY PROBLEM AND HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING IF SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON WITH THE CR SINCE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY UP TO $1,000 FOR A FORD FAULTY SYSTEM

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY GAS TANK LEAKING FUMES. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FINE AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I THOUGHT THAT IF THERE IS A RECALL THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE DEFECT THE DATE IT HAPPEN IS WHEN I BOUGHT IT

I NOTICED TODAY THERE IS A FORD RECALL FOR 2012 THROUGH 2018 FORD FOCUS FOR A FAULTY PART THAT COULD LEAD TO ENGINE STALLS. THE RECALL STATES A MALFUNCTIONING VALVE THAT COULD RESULT IN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND POTENTIALLY ENGINE STALLS OR AN INABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE I AM DRIVING AND START TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR TO TURN THE CORNER THE ENGINE STALLS AND JERKS AND THEN IT GOES AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I SLOW DOWN OR TURN. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SAME SITUATION AS THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE FORD FOCUS.

Mileage: 75,000

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL WHERE I WAS GOING AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT IS NOT AN ALL THE TIME PROBLEM, BUT DOES HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT HAPPENS AND THE CAR ACCELERATES BRIEFLY BEFORE INSTANTLY SHUTTING OFF. THE WRENCH SYMBOL ALSO COMES ON BEFORE THIS ALL TAKES PLACE. I COULD BE USING CRUISE CONTROL OR JUST NORMAL DRIVING AND IT HAPPENS IN BOTH SITUATIONS. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO DO IT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE SUCH AS A HIGH WAY OR ON A REGULAR CITY STREET. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT NUMEROUS (SIX) TIMES TO SEE WHY IT DOES THIS. THE MECHANIC HOOKS IT UP TO THE COMPUTER EVERY TIME AND STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THEN RESETS THE SYMBOL LIGHTS SO THEY GO OUT. THE CAR WILL BE FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO AND THEN DO IT AGAIN! IT IS SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS AND I TRY NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HOW CAN YOU FIX SOMETHING THE MECHANICS STATE IS NOT BROKEN? SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT WITH THE VEHICLE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE WHY IT DOES THIS! IT CAN NOT ONLY BE MY CAR!

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE FUEL TANK RECALL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE AND SAID THEY INSPECTED MY TANK, WHICH WAS GOOD. I WAS NOT ABLE TO FILL MY TANK FULL UNTIL 5 WEEKS LATER AND WHEN I DID I WENT STRAIGHT HOME AND SMELLED GAS VERY STRONGLY. MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF WHEN I NOTICED A HUGE PUDDLE UNDER IT WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE GAS. IT LEAKED A QUARTER TANK OUT! I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN UNTIL THURSDAY, THIS WAS MONDAY. THE CAR SAT UNTIL THEN. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER THURSDAY. THEY SUBMITTED PAPER WORK AND PICTURES TO FORD. FRIDAY THEY HEARD BACK FROM FORD STATING THEY NEEDED TO DROP THE TANK TO TAKE BETTER PICTURES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO DO THIS UNTIL MONDAY. MONDAY CAME, TUESDAY STILL NO WORD, AND FINALLY ON WEDNESDAY I GET WORD SAYING THAT FORD DENIED THE RECALL AND ARE NOT PAYING FOR IT. THE WHOLE POINT OF THE RECALL WAS THAT THE PURGE VALVE IN THE CANISTER WAS BUILDING UP PRESSURE AND CRACKING TANKS. BUT THEY DENIED IT. I CALLED FORD'S CUSTOMER LINE AND WAS CONNECTED TO A VERY RUDE MAN NAMED RYAN WHO ACTED LIKE I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT CARS WHEN IN FACT I HAVE WORKED ON (SPECIFICALLY FORD) CARS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. HE REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THE SUPERVISOR WOULD TELL ME THE SAME AS HE DID. I AM VERY UPSET. MY CAR IS NOT FIXED FROM THE RECALL AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1000 FOR A NEW TANK THAT CRACKED AT THE SEAL FROM THEIR FAULTY PART.

I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OR SIMILAR COMPONENT. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS SOLD AS IS SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND FIXED. I AM SEEING OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVING SAME ISSUES. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

I TOOK MY 2010 FORD FUSION INTO CROSS ROADS FORD IN SHELBY NC - TELEPHONE NUMBER 704-482-6791 FOR THE GAS TANK RECALL IN JANUARY 2017. THE RECALL IS NUMBER 15534. THE DEALORSHIP SAID THAT THEY DID THE RECALL BUT I CONTINUED TO SMELL FUEL VAPORS. IN THE MEANTIME CLASSIC FORD HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY CLASSIC FORD AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX] IS TELLING US THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND THAT CLASSIC IS NOT RESPOSNILBLE FOR CROSS ROADS MAINTENANCE ISSUES. I CONTACTED CROSS ROADS FORD AGAIN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE THEM TO CHECK THE ISSUE AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO EARL TINDOL FORD GASTONIA NC O N NOVEMBER 28 AND SERVICE REP THAT THE VALVE ON THE GAS TANK WAS APPARENTLY NOT FIXED OR FIXED PROPERLY. I CALLED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH THE ISSUE AND I WAS DIRECTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (CLASSIC FORD) THAT ORGINALY PERFORMED THE RECALL. I CONTACTED [XXX] AT CLASSIC FORD ON NOVEMBER 28 AND HE SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE ISSUE. I WAS NOTIFIED ON NOVEMBER 30 THAT THE VALVE IS APPARENTLY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND THAT THIS WAS A NON COVERED CHARGE SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED. I PERCEIVE THAT THIS IS A BAD SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE VAPOR SMELL AND THE VEHICLE COULD IGNITE. I FEEL THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE I HAVE CONTINUED TO SMELL GASOLINE EVEN AFTER THE RECALL. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I HAD A NEW BATTERY PLACED AND THE OIL CHANGED WITH MY LOCAL MECHANIC. I DROVE 3.5 MILES HOME AND, UPON TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, A RED "STOP SAFELY NOW" ALERT FLASHED. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC SO I PROCEEDED TO MY HOME. APPROXIMATELY 0.2 MILES LATER THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, CONTINUING AT 10MPH (EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR) BEFORE LOSING ALL ACCELERATION. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THE ALARM HAD CLEARED. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE 300 FEET WHEN THE ALARM RECURRED. I WAS 50 FEET FROM MY DRIVEWAY SO I RESTARTED THE CAR, CLEARED THE ALARM AND WENT 15 FEET BEFORE IT RECURRED, WITH NO ABILITY TO MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I RESTARTED THE CAR A THIRD TIME AND THE ALARM HAD CLEARED AGAIN. I WAS PULLING UP MY DRIVEWAY AT A SIGNIFICANT INCLINE WHEN IT RECURRED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT UP MY DRIVEWAY AND PARK. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND, AFTER A QUICK ON-LINE SEARCH, HE INFORMED ME THERE WAS FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 12-5-14 ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. THIS WAS AN EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES-MY WIFE OR CHILDREN IN THE CAR, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING IN RAPIDLY MOVING TRAFFIC- MY FAMILY'S WELL-BEING WOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED AT GREAT RISK. FORD SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY FOR A PROBLEM THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE OF AND ARE NOT ADDRESSING, I ASSUME TO MINIMIZE FINANCIAL LOSSES. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ENSURING THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WHO ARE ALSO PLACED AT RISK BY THIS DESIGN FLAW FORD ACKNOWLEDGES?

ENGINE CODE PRODUCED BY THE VEHICLE COMPUTER IS P2112.

THE HYBRID COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MP ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS LIKE TURNING OFF THE KEY. A RED TRIANGLE LIGHT SAID GOOD LUCK "STOP THE CAR". THIS IS WITHIN 100 MILES HAVING PAID 1200 TO A FORD DEALER TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND COOLING PUMP THAT WASN'T ONE OF THE 1.6 MILLION FORD HAD TO EXTEND WARRANTIES.

IN LOWER GEARS / BELOW 3500 RPM, I WILL OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN DECELERATION, AND THEN AN ABRUPT ACCELERATION AS THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE IT TO THE COMMANDED SPEED. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN MOTION, MOST OFTEN CITY STREETS, OCCASIONALLY WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE THIS CREATES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS A DRIVER MAY NOT HAVE THE FULL, CONSISTENT ACCELERATION THAT HE EXPECTS TO HAVE. THIS ISSUE BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING "CHECK FUEL FILTER" CODES, DUE TO A POORLY DESIGNED INNER GAS CAP GASKET, WHICH ALLOWS FOR CONTAMINATION TO OBSTRUCT THE EASY FILL SYSTEM'S INNER SEAL. I BELIEVE THIS MAY ALSO BE RELATED TO AN ISSUE WITH A THROTTLE BODY CONTROLLER, SIMILAR TO THE MANY FORD PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS WHOM HAVE SUBMITTED PRIOR COMPLAINTS. NOT SURE WHY THOSE THROTTLE BODY CONTROLLERS DIDN'T GET A RECALL, THE PROBLEM IS COMMON ENOUGH AND THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE SUBSTANTIAL.

RECALL 15S34 FUEL TANK AND PURGE VALVE INSPECTION: I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR RECALL AND I DELIVERED MY VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION ON FEBRUARY 20, 2016. FORD REPLACED MY PURGE VALVE BECAUSE IT HAD FAILED. MY PAPERWORK SHOWS THE INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED PRIOR TO 0830.THE PROBLEM IS I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE SMELL BECAME WORSE AND I RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO FORD ON NOVEMBER 28, 2016 FOR INSPECTION. FORD SAID MY TANK IS CRACKED AND NEED REPLACEMENT. I ASKED FORD TO COVER THE COST OF THE TANK REPLACEMENT AND THEY REFUSED. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD COVER THIS COST DUE TO CONDITION OF THE TANK. THE TANK'S CRACK WAS CAUSED BY INTERNAL PRESSURE (SEE PHOTOS). I DON'T BELIEVE THE TANK WAS PROPERLY INSPECTED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE FORD DEALER COULD HAVE TESTED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE AND DROPPED THE TANK AND TESTED THE SYSTEM IN ONE HOUR. NOTE: THE DEALER OPENS AT 0730 ON SATURDAYS AND THE INVOICE SHOWS THE DEALER COMPLETED EVERYTHING AT 0829. INVOICE DOES NOT SHOW THE DEALER USING A GASKET AFTER TANK INSPECTION. PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER THE COST OF THE TANK REPLACEMENT.

IT IS VERY SERIOUS FIRE SAFETY HAZARD, NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM, FUEL LEAKING ALL AROUND THE GAS TANK, SUPPOSE TO BE A WARRANTY OF 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES.

I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM OF MY 2010 FUSION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2016. THEY INSPECTED THE SYSTEM AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM. THE RECALL WAS ON THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, WHICH IS THE EXACT PART THAT NEEDS TO NOW BE REPLACED. I RETURNED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO TO FIX IT. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY INSPECTED IT, AND IT WAS FINE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD OCCUR ON RELATIVELY NEW CARS, AND FORD HAS ALREADY ADMITTED TO PUTTING IN FAULTY CANISTER PURGE VALVES. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HIT ANOTHER DEAD END. BOTH CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN "OPEN RECALL". I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL. JUST BECAUSE A CRACK HAD NOT FORMED IN APRIL, DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE A CRACK TO FORM DIDN'T EXIST THEN. THE DEALERSHIP MISSED THE PROBLEM, AND NOW FORD IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MISTAKE IN MANUFACTURING.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY SHOOK AND WENT TO "LIMP" MODE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST DRIVEWAY AFTER PUTTING ON MY HAZARDS AND, AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED THE CAR, WHICH TOOK ABOUT ABOUT 5 SECONDS OF TRYING TO TURN OVER THE IGNITION. SINCE THAT TIME, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO DOZEN TIMES, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW; AND THE REST OF THE TIME, THE RPMS FLUTTER IN AN IRREGULAR WAY. I DO MOSTLY CITY DRIVING AND HAVE THANKFULLY BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHEN HAVING TO PULL OVER AND RESTART; BUT IN EACH CASE, IT IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. BY ALL ACCOUNTS ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM AND DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. NOTABLY, THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR BEGAN TO OCCUR AT AROUND 45,000 MILES, WHICH IS TYPICAL FROM WHAT I'VE READ OF OTHER COMPLAINTS. THIS SEEMS MUCH TOO EARLY, MUCH TOO COMMON, AND MUCH TOO DANGEROUS OF A PROBLEM FOR IT NOT TO BE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL. THERE WAS, IN FACT, AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT EXPIRED IN EARLY 2015. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT IT WOULD COST $600 TO REPAIR.

I RECEIVED THE FORD SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM SURFACE CRACK/LEAK, IN JANUARY 2016. IN FEBRUARY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED I COULD NOT DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT DUE TO AN ACTIVE LEAK. THEY KEPT MY CAR AND HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH A LONER FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS WHILE I HAVE WAITING FOR THEM TO PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY (8/8/16) THAT MY CAR MIGHT BE READY BY 8/12/16. THEY WILL CALL AND LET ME KNOW ON 8/10/16. THE PROBLEM IS, I HAVE HAD TO MOVE OUT OF STATE FOR WORK SINCE FEBRUARY, AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY RETURN TO MICHIGAN UNTIL 8/22/16. IT IS A 16-HOUR ROUND TRIP FOR ME TO RETURN THE RENTAL TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO BE THERE BECAUSE THEY WILL NO LONGER PAY FOR THE RENTAL AFTER 8/10/16. I CALLED THE FORD RECALL DEPARTMENT DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. SO IN MY CURRENT SITUATION, I AM GOING TO BE PENALIZED WITH PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR 12 DAYS. THIS IS A RENTAL CAR I DON'T WANT AND AM ONLY DRIVING BECAUSE OF FORD'S RECALL. SO DUE TO FORD'S RECALL I WILL HAVE TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $500 FOR THIS RENTAL. THEY HAVE MADE ME WAIT 6 MONTHS, BUT THEY CAN'T WAIT 12 DAYS. IT ISN'T RIGHT THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND MONEY DUE SOMETHING THAT IS FORD'S FAULT. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO CONTINUE PAYING MY RENTAL UNTIL 8/22/16 OR TO SHIP MY FORD FUSION TO ME IN KENTUCKY WHEN IT IS REPAIRED. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT IMLAY CITY FORD IN IMLAY CITY, MI

I HAVE MULTIPLE ITEMS THAT HAVE COME ABOUT ALL OF A SUDDEN OVER THE LAST MONTH OR TWO FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 1.) FUEL FILL INLET MESSAGE HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. 2.) DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST STOPPED WORKING. 3.) THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING. COOL AIR COMES AND GOES, AND FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IT SEEMS THE FAN STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE. HE HAD TO CROSS LANES TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. CAR RAN OKAY. I CALLED FORD AFTER THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS OVER THE MILEAGE ALLOWED AND WAS NOT COVERED. THEY SAID THEY SENT OUT A CSP#13N03. I DID NOT RECEIVE THIS LETTER. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT JUST A BULLETIN. HE ALMOST GOT HIT BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

FUEL CAP CODES, EMISSION CONTROL CODES AND THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL CODE ARE NOW ON ALL THE TIME. I HAD TAKEN IT BACK TO FORD, BUT LIGHT HAD WENT OUT AT THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES DO NOT LOG IN ECM. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD HOOK UP EQUIPMENT, THERE WOULD BE NO CODES AND THE COST $90.00. I LEFT. ON A SHORT TRIP THIS WEEKEND WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL CODES STAYING ON AND NEW ONE FOR THROTTLE WHEN CRUISE WOULD NOT SET. I STOPPED AT AUTOZONE AND THEY COULD PRINT OUT STORED CODES. THEY ARE P0455, P0457,P2119. THEY HAVE PERFORMED AND THROTTLE RECALL ONCE AND I HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL, BUT NO RESPONSE AS OF YET. AS OF TODAY THE DASH SERVICE WRENCH HAS RESET.

LAST YEAR I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY RECALIBRATE AND CLEANED. AFTER RECEIVING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, FORD REPLACED THE PART AT NO COST. IT HAS BEEN NOT EVEN A YEAR YET AND MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE STALLED OUR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS SOME OTHER LIGHTS. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND FROM WHAT I REMEMBER FROM THE OTHER 1000 POSTS, THEY SAID TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID. IT OBVIOUSLY OCCURRED A FEW MORE TIMES AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND MY BILL WAS 1,000 DOLLARS. THEY CHANGED A PURGE VALVE WHICH WAS STUCK OPEN. THEREFORE, ALLOWING THE GAS TO FLOW DIRECTLY TO THE CANISTER. THEY ALSO MENTIONED HOW DIRTY THE ENGINE WAS AND RECOMMENDED THAT I GET A FLUSH DONE ON THE VEHICLE. I DECLINED BECAUSE I KNEW THAT CARBON WAS COMING FROM THE THROTTLE BODY. ANYWAYS, THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT TAKES A GOOD 7 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE AND THEREFORE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH, ESPECIALLY TRYING TO MERGE ON THE PARKWAY. I WENT THROUGH THIS A YEAR AGO AND EVER SINCE SPENT OVER 6,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. NOT TO MENTION THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH BREAK PRETTY OFTEN. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED FORD AND EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCING THROTTLE BODY ISSUES AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT ONCE IT'S FIXED, THE WARRANTY IS UP AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! THEIR CARS ARE UNSAFE. WHAT IF I WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS WHERE THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING? I KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS VEHICLE, IT IS NOT A SAFE CAR.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SINCE JULY 2015. THERE'S NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. YOU'RE DRIVING THE CAR AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE POWER TO THE ENGINE IS CUT. IT MAINTAINS A VERY ROUGH IDLE AS YOU ATTEMPT TO MANEUVER TO A SHOULDER IN TRAFFIC AND ONCE STOPPED THE CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS THE "WRENCH" ON THE DASH ELECTRONICS ILLUMINATES. ONCE YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR, IT SOMETIMES RUNS FINE FOR A WHILE, OTHER TIMES THIS ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN. WE'VE HAD THE CAR INTO THE SHOP TWICE, BUT BECAUSE THERE'S NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SOURCING THE PROBLEM IS INCREDIBLY HARD. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY IF IT OCCURS ON THE INTERSTATE OR OTHER CONGESTED AREAS. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR SUCH AND SHOULD ISSUE A MANDATORY RECALL. I ATTACHED A PICTURE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME SAY IT'S THE THROTTLE BODIES WHICH HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT ONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THIS OCCUR BEFORE GETTING IT FIXED.

I WAS AFFECTED BY THE THROTTLE BODY THING. I GOT IT FIXED AT JIM CLICK FORD IN TUCSON. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING HEAVY ACCELERATION AND THROTTLE RESPONSE PROBLEMS SINCE. I HAD MY TRAMS FLUID LEAK FROM THE CAP. NO LEAKS IN ANY OF MY HOSES. MY RPMS STAY BETWEEN 1700-2700 REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. I TOOK IT BACK TO JIM CLICK, EVEN THO SHOWING NO ERRORS. AND IT'S ALWAYS WHINING, MY ENGINE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THIS, BUT I DEFINITELY TAKE CARE OF MY CAR. AND FUSIONS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS. AND PEOPLE TELL MY MY CAR MAKES REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING. I'VE NEVER HEARD IT OR FELT IT, BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AND FUEL STARTED TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LAST MONTH MY 2010 FORD FUSION WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WHILE DRIVING TWICE IN THE SAME DAY - ENGINE STILL RUNS BUT NO POWER OTHER THAN IDLING - VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AS PART OF A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM AT NO COST. THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO "LIMP MODE" ONE MORE TIME SINCE THEN. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4-CYLINDER ENGINE. I HAD JUST SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR AND WAS AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE POWERTRAIN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING - BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME, AND TRAFFIC WAS NOT IMPEDED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND VERIFIED ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE WORKING. THE ENGINE FELT ROUGH. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP, AND IT RAN WITHOUT ISSUE. I SEARCHED ONLINE, AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON OTHER FUSIONS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AS WELL AS THE FUEL VALVE. LEADING UP TO THIS, I HAD NOTICED SOME SYMPTOMS OF SHUDDERING, BUT, IT COINCIDED WITH A NEW TANK OF FUEL. I PLANNED TO PUT A NEW TANK OF FUEL IN AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CAR DIED PRIOR TO A NEW TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE GIVEN THAT IT CAN EASILY RESULT IN BEING REAR-ENDED.

Mileage: 66,700

NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM CAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PUDDLE UNDER THE GAS TANK, COMING FROM THE REAR PASSANGER SIDE, TOWARDS THE TOP. AS I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK, I FOUND THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE SEAM WHERE THE TWO HALVES OF THE TANK WERE PUT TOGETHER. IT WAS A STEADY DRIP, LOOSING ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF FUEL IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE SEAM. QUOTED ME AT $1500 FOR THE FIX. FILED A CLAIM WITH FORD AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM........UPDATED10/27/15*BF *CN

Mileage: 65,000

I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUES PLAGUING FORDS. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT APPEARS. THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED AND DID NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH TEMPORARY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A GRADUALLY WORSENING PROBLEM.

Mileage: 85,000

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN I LOSS POWER AND THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE GAS SO LUCKY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IN TO EMERGENCY LANE BEFORE I GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM SYSTEM ON THIS CAR. IT HAS TO DO THE THE FILLER NECK ON THE GAS TANK. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD FUSION AND THIS MODEL. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THE SMAE BOAT AND GETS KILLED OR CAUSE ONE SERIOUS PROBLEM.

THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ACCELERATION AND COME TO STOP, ENGINE SPUTTERS AND CAR SHAKES. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTARTING, YOU CAN CONTINUE ON. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING AND IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN BUSY TRAFFIC. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY AND SEEMS TO BE ELECTRONIC IN NATURE.

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE ANOTHER BIG ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND YEAR. THE CAR SMELLS OF FUEL. POSSIBLE FUEL TANK CORROSION. IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO BE WITHIN 20FEET OF THE CAR , LET ALONE LIGHT A CIGARETTE OR A MATCH. WHY IS THE NHTSA NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES, FORD FUSIONS, BUT RECALLING EVERYONE AFTER THE 2010 YEAR MODEL. YOU RECALLED THE 2013 FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM, 2011 & 2012 FOR THE POWER STEERING, ALOT OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE ALL FOR THE 2010 YEAR MODEL, AND YOU KEEP SKIPPING OVER THIS YEAR... HORRIBLE YEAR FORD HAS EVER MADE WITH THIS CAR. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED !!!! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PUT A NEW FUEL TANK IN A 4YEAR OLD CAR ...

VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR. EXISTING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EXISTS FOR THIS ISSUE AND MODEL/YEAR (PE13003) BUT FORD CLAIMS THE VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. REQUESTING TO REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION AND CREATE A RECALL FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, NOT JUST A PARTIAL LIST.

I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT STARTING IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUMPING GAS. I DROVE IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT THEN WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY AND HAS STAYED ON. THE OTHER NIGHT AS I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO A STOP I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS SHAKING HORRIBLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE THE ENGINE LIGHT TESTED AND IT STATED CODE: P144A EVAP PURGE VAPOR LINE RESTRICTED/BLOCKED. THE OTHER CODE WAS: P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP BLEED FUEL TANK VACUUM. I CALLED FORD TO COMPLAIN AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LINE. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012 I HAD A LIGHT ABOUT THE FUEL TANK COME ON IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY CORRECTED IT. NOW I AGAIN AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHEN I CALLED FORD TO TELL THEM THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE CAR THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. EXPLAINING THAT NOW THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WITH A FUEL TANK ON THIS CAR AND THAT THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. NOW IF THIS WAS A ONE TIME THING IT WOULD BE ONE THING BUT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN SHOWS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE MAKING OF THIS CAR.

I FILED AN ORIGINAL COMPLAINT REGARDING SUDDEN FAILURE OF MY VEHICLE TO MOVE OR PRODUCE ANY POWER BACK ON 10-05-2013 UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10546865. AT THAT TIME I DESCRIBED THE FOLLOWING: SUMMARY: I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND I COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 3 MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND NO MATTER HOW FAR I PUSHED THE PEDAL IT WOULD NOT MOVE PAST 700 RPM. THIS REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES MORE THAT DAY. DID IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMED IT WAS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND THAT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT HAD AN ERROR CODE OF P2111. FILED ORIGINAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE FAILING PREMATURELY AND TO DOCUMENT MY VEHICLE. I PAID THE REPAIR IN OCTOBER 2013 FOR EXACTLY SAME SYMPTOMS P2111 AND SAME CONDITIONS AS ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS INVESTIGATION WERE EXPERIENCING. I KEPT TRACK OF NHTSA'S INVESTIGATION CAME TO FIND OUT THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A "CUSTOMER SERVICE CAMPAIGN" EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY TO 10 YEARS/150K MILES AND A LETTER WOULD BE SENT OUT. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING UNDER MY VIN BUT WOULD SEND THE REQUEST TO FORD. FORD SAYS THAT NHTSA DETERMINES WHICH VEHICLES FALL UNDER THE ISSUE. SO JUST CONTACTED NHTSA VIA TELEPHONE SPEAKING TO [XXX] WHO SAID THAT SINCE I ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA THAT SHE COULD NOT HELP ME BUT SAID FOR ME TO GO ONLINE AND UPDATE MY COMPLAINT SO THAT THE NHTSA ENGINEERS WOULD INVESTIGATE FURTHER. IN WARRANTY DATABASE I FOUND MANY 2010 FORD FUSIONS PRODUCED BEFORE AND AFTER MINE (**/**) WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE A CALL FROM A NHTSA ENGINEER PLEASE. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-495 (DC BELTWAY) MY VEHICLE LOSS POWER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BETWEEN ME AND THE COMMERCIAL TRUCK BEHIND AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ME. THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO CREEP IN SOME LIMBO GEAR. BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE I HAD TO NAVIGATE MY WAY THROUGH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I CREPT AT <1 MPH UNTIL I HIT THE FIRST SERVICE STATION (SHELL). MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT MY FAMILIY AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY THE NEXT TIME. I KNOW ITS NOT MY TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE AFTER STOPPING AT THE SHELL FOR 15 MINUTES, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. SO IT MAY BE COMPUTER RELATED.

SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH NO GAS CAP MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. ANY LITTLE BIT OF DIRT I DRIVE YET GETS INTO THE SEAL OF THE GAS TANK SO MY ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON AND STATES THERE IS SOME SORT OF LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT IN TO PAY AND ARM AND A LEG FOR THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO BLOW OUT THE SEAL. SO MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF THERE IS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE OR IF IT'S JUST THAT DIRT IN THE SEAL OF THE GAS TANK. BIG MISTAKE BY FORD AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT OR THEY WILL DEFINITELY LOSE MY BUSINESS...WHICH I'VE BEEN FORD LOYAL SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE. I WILL ALSO DETER ANYONE ELSE I KNOW FROM BUYING FOR JUST FOR THE CAPLESS GAS TANK FEATURE!!!!! *TR

THE SECOND TIME I HAD MY CV JOINT BOOTS REPLACED AND FOUND OUT THEY ARE WEARING OUT THE SEALS THAT ARE CAUSING TRANSMISSION LEAKS. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME BECAUSE OF THE SAME TRANSMISSION LEAKS AND DIFFICULT SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND WILL MOST LIKELY BE GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE CV JOINTS AND SEALS HAVE FAILED AGAIN WITHIN THE 3 MONTHS OF BEING REPLACED. *TR

MY VEHICLE SUFFERED THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WILL IDEL ROUGH THERE WILL BE A SURGE AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" . THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AT LIGHTFROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED THEN HESITATED THE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. ATT HAT POINT THE CAR WAS IN "LIMP HOME MODE" THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING ON FWY AT 65 MPH WHEN ENGINE DIES IN MY 10 FUSION! PUSHING GAS PEDAL RESULTED IN NO ACTION RPM GAUGE TO 0 AS I MOVED TO SHOULDER. MY GOD WAS WATCHING OVER ME AS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING CARS ALL AROUND ME AND NOT CAUSING A WRECK OR GETTING HURT. CAR STARTED UP AFTER 5 MINUTES OF PRAYERS AND DROVE TO DEALER WHO WAS LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY. CAR DIED AGAIN 200 YARDS FROM DEALERSHIP BUT STARTED UP AND MADE IT TO DEALER. THEY RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM-THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND FORD HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 150K ON CAR FOR THIS REASON VIA "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13NO3". ISSUE WAS FIXED NEXT DAY, CAR IS FINE NOW. HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM FORD INDICATING THAT THE "THROTTLE BODY MAY DEVELOP CONTAMINATION..." THE FACT THAT THE CAR DIED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY AT FWY SPEEDS AND DID NOT GET HURT OR HURT ANYONE ELSE IS A MIRACLE. FORD RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND CHOSE TO NOT ACT BUT CHOSE TO WAIT UNTIL A MECHANICAL FAILURE OCCURS BEFORE ACTING. I HAVE THIS QUESTION FOR FORD EXECUTIVES, KNOWING THAT THE "THROTTLE BODY MAY BE CONTAMINATED...." WOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR SONS AND/OR DAUGHTERS TO DRIVE A FORD? FORD WILL SPEND MILLIONS OF $'S PROMOTING THEIR VEHICLES INSTEAD OF PROACTIVELY CORRECTING THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. MY SON WILL BE 16 NEXT YEAR AND HE WANTS AN F150, MY DAUGHTER WILL BE 16 IN 3 YEARS AND SHE WANTS A MUSTANG. THEY WILL NOT BE DRIVING FORD PRODUCTS. I WILL ENSURE THAT ALL MY FAMILY/FRIENDS/PEERS AND ACQUAINTANCES HEAR OF MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE DRIVING MY FUSION WHILE FORD KNEW THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE AND DID NOT ACT. HERE'S A RECOMMENDATION TO FORD - REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAIL ADVERTISING LIST AND SAVE SOME $. HERE'S A BETTER RECOMMENDATION PROACTIVELY CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES DRIVING A FORD THAT "MAY DEVELOP CONTAMINATION..." *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH BEHIND A LARGE TRUCK. TRUCK PULLED OVER TO LET PEOPLE PASS, AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE SPEED DROPPED TO 5MPH AND DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AN "ORANGE WRENCH, REPAIR NEEDED" INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON AS I COASTED OFF ROAD AND TURNED OFF IGNITION. WAITED 10 MINUTES, RESTARTED CAR AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT SEEMED INSIGNIFICANT AT THE TIME: ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, WHEN ACCELERATING TO GO UP A HILL, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AND CRAWLED EXTREMELY SLOW UPHILL, BUT WAS OK WHEN BACK ON FLAT GROUND. RECENTLY RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL REPAIR FOR PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE BODY,CAUSING CAR TO LOSE POWER, AND TO BRING IT IN FOR A CALIBRATION UPGRADE. UPGRADE IS TO GIVE SLIGHTLY MORE POWER IF YOU SHOULD HAVE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM SINCE NOT ALL CARS WILL EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER. WENT TO DEALER AFTER I HAD LOST POWER, ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT OF THROTTLE BODY SINCE I HAD AN "INCIDENT" AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL. THEY ONLY DID A CALIBRATION UPGRADE SINCE THEY COULD "NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AT REPAIR SHOP.COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT RECORD A PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE BODY. SAID "NO CODES IN PCM. RE-FLASHED PCM, RETURN TO CUSTOMER". THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS REAL, AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. HAD I BEEN OUT ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I FEEL THAT IF FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO CORRECT IT WHEN A PROBLEM IS REPORTED, THEY ARE BEING NEGLIGENT. I WANTED TO SOMEHOW DOCUMENT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, SINCE I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THIS PROBLEM WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN.FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT IF THEY CAN'T TRUST WHAT IS BEING REPORTED BY A CUSTOMER,THE SAFETY OF ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE CARS IS BEING COMPROMISED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE EVERY TIME I WOULD GET OUT OF MY CAR OR WALK TOWARDS IT. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION I HAD "SPILLED SOME", BUT ON 6/9/2014 I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF SOMETHING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I PROCEEDED TO SMELL IT AND NOTICED IT WAS GASOLINE. SO I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND REALIZED THAT IT HAD A GAS LEAK. I THEN STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONLY THE 2013 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOT A 2013, BUT IT IS A 2010 AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT THESE CARS HAVE HAD. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR THE SAFELY OF THE CONSUMER. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALER, BUT IT WORRIES ME THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH MY LIFE JUST ONE LITTLE SPARK AWAY FROM MY CAR CATCHING ON FIRE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDDLE. THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND MAKING NOISES. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED THE KEY FOR A FEW SECONDS. A FEW DAYS LATER THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR AGAIN LOST POWER AND WAS SHAKING AND MAKING NOISES. AGAIN I REMOVED THE KEY AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE NORMALLY. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND LURCHED FORWARD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE CLEANED THE THROTTLE. HE COULD FIND NOTHING ELSE WRONG. *JS

APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, I WAS DRIVING DOWN RT 28 IN FAIRFAX, VA. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF. NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES, TO SPEED. THE CAR BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR ENDING ME. I MADE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TOOK MY CAR TO KOONS FORD STERLING, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I GOGGLED IT AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THAT FORD HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I PAID TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. FAST FORWARD...............THREE WEEKS AGO WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD TELLING US THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS NOW BEING RECALLED AND IF WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE WORK DONE, WE SHOULD TAKE THE RECEIPT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OUR REFUND. WELL THAT WAS ON APRIL 1. STILL NOTHING. EACH TIME I CALL I'M TOLD THAT IT'S STILL UNDER REVIEW. ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT I PROBABLY WILL NEVER GET A REFUND, I'M WONDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED FROM THIS. IT TOOK FORD 2-3 YEARS TO DO THIS RECALL. *TT

I WAS DRIVING THE ROAD AROUND 50 MPH.,WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS IDLING! I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS BUT THE CAR WAS NO POWER I GEAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR TO PARK. AFTER I RESTART MY CAR AND SEEMS NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.I TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALER SCHWABENGARAGE AG STUTTGART-VAIHINGEN GERMANY / GARAGE TO LOOK WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO I DROVE MY CAR AGAIN, MY BOYFRIEND SEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT WORKING RIGHT ,BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T SEE THE PROBLEM. MY BOYFRIEND ORDER THE PARTS ANYWAY BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING WITH MY TWO KIDS WHEN MY CAR LOSE POWER AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF AND START AGAIN AND AFTER 100 METERS IT DID THE SAME AGAIN. I WAS TERRIFIED AND PRAY HARD THAT THE OTHER CAR WILL NOT HIT US. I TOOK MY CAR TO AAFES / MILITARY INSTALLATION CAR CARE WITH THE PARTS WE PURCHASED AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I DROVE MY CAR HOME TODAY AND GOT HOME SAFELY. I FOUND OUT THAT FORD FUSION HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST 3 DAYS. AT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, WE WERE DRIVING RATHER SLOWLY, APPX. 35 MPH. THE CAR LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING, AND STARTED MISFIRING VIOLENTLY. DEPRESSING THE FUEL PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT. THE YELLOW WRENCH WARNING ICON ON THE DASH WAS LIT. WE WERE GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL ON SIDE STREET, SO IT WAS EASY TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ALLOWED IT TO RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT IT CONTINUED TO MISFIRE AND SEEMED STARVED FOR FUEL. IT DID KEEP RUNNING FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES MORE BEFORE WE SHUT IT OFF. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, MY HUSBAND TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR. IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND RAN FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE NEXT DAY THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT BUT COULD FIND NO ISSUE OR RECORD OF AN ERROR CODE. HE ADDED "DRY GAS" IN CASE THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO WATER FREEZING IN THE FUEL LINE. THE WEATHER IS QUITE COLD. THE THIRD DAY (TODAY) I FILLED THE FUEL TANK AND ADDED ANOTHER BOTTLE OF "DRY GAS". I DROVE APPX 35 MILES (IN SEVERAL SEGMENTS) THEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS IN TRAFFIC, GOING APPX 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE BEHAVIOR WAS IDENTICAL: PRONOUNCED MISFIRING, NO POWER, FUEL PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT, WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE BARELY ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET MOST OF THE WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. AGAIN, IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE FINAL 6 MILES OF MY COMMUTE. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THE CAUSE MAY BE THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY. WE WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO REPORT BACK ON THE RESOLUTION. *TR

CAR DRIVING FINE WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOSES ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE LITTLE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. PULLED CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, IT BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO. VERY DANGEROUS TO LOSE THROTTLE RESPONSE. UPON CHECKING INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON. YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS AND GET FORD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

WAS TRAVELING ON 696 IN DETROIT AREA AT 70 MPH WHEN MY 2010 FORD FUSION SUDDENLY LOST 'POWER' TO THE POWER TRAIN, IT LOST ALL VELOCITY AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 0 MPH IN SECONDS! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED FOR MY LIFE AS I WAS AT THAT MOMENT WATCHING CARS 'JUMP' LANES TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME DUE MY SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES MAKING NEAR THE SHOULDER AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP! THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT LIST ABILITY TO MOVE. DEALERSHIP CHARGED $600 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS 2 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 30,000 MILES! WHEN ASKED WHAT HAPPENED THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID SOMETIMES PARTS GO BAD.

I HAVE CALLED FORD AND WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF TOMORROW. HOW COME THEY ALL KNOW IT'S A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM BUT FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH CUSTOMERS. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AN OBVIOUS KNOWN PROBLEM. TOYOTA GOT KILLED FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION BUT FORD DOES NOTHING FOR SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. *TR

I WAS ON AN ON RAMP ON THE WAY IN TO WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST PROPULSION. I WAS ACCELERATING AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY BETWEEN 750-1000 RPM. THE 'WRENCH' LIGHT CAME IN AND I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE MALFUNCTION HAD APPARENTLY CLEARED AS THE ISSUE HAS YET TO RETURN, BUT WILL. I SAY 'WILL RETURN' BECAUSE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN 23SEP WHILE ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING 35MPH DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($) AND THEY FOUND NOTHING AND HAD NO IDEAS AS TO THE POTENTIAL CAUSE. I WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT IT AS A FLUKE, BUT NOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN I KNOW THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM. I AM HESITANT TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER $80 DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHEN IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT ISSUE... (NEARLY 95% OF THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS VEHICLE ON THIS WEBSITE).

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH DOWN A VERY BUSY MAIN STREET IN OKEMOS, MI WHEN MY CAR JUMPED AND A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD THEN MY CAR DECELERATED RAPIDLY AND WOULDN'T MOVE. MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS BUSY STREET...I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT BEFORE IT HIT 0. WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD CARS FROM 2010 AND I THINK THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ORDINARILY AT THIS TIME I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 70+ ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM WORK IT JUST SO HAPPENED (LUCKILY) THAT I NEEDED TO STOP AT THE MALL ON MY WAY HOME. I SHUDDER TO IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY GOING 70 WHEN MY CAR STALLED...IT WAS SCARY ENOUGH AT 40 MPH.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE V6 FLEX FUEL HAS QUIT ABOUT SIX TIMES OVER THE PAST TEN DAYS. THE FIRST DISTRESSING INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT 9 P.M. ON AN ISOLATED COUNTY ROAD WITH MY 4-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON IN THE CAR. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STALLED & SEEMED TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR QUIT PULLING, A WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH, THEN STARTING BUCKING & IDLING ERRATICALLY. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER & TURNED OFF THE KEY. I RETRIED THE IGNITION & CAR RESTARTED. AFTER MAKING SURE IT WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN, I PULLED BACK OUT & CONTINUED HOME. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAD JUST CHECKED THIS CAR 3 WKS BEFORE FOR "FUEL INLET LIGHT" ISSUE. TOLD THAT THE NECK OF THE GAS LINE LEAKS AIR/WATER (CAR WAS DESIGNED/SOLD W/OUT A GAS CAP WHICH CAUSES THAT LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE TO LIGHT UP). WE BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM, ONCE AGAIN, OR PERHAPS I HAD GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. WE HAD BEEN TO TOWN, ADDED FUEL CLEANER, FILLED THE TANK & HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. THEN MY MOTHER-IN-LAW PASSED AWAY TWO DAYS LATER & THE CAR QUIT OUT OF STATE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HWY! WE ALMOST DIDN'T GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD & ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO RESTART THAT TIME. LATEST EPISODE WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM FUNERAL (ABT 40 MLS AWAY), IT QUIT AGAIN AT 11 P.M. THAT NIGHT. NOW WE'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THROTTLE BODY IS GOING OUT. THIS IS NOT ONLY OUTRAGEOUS FOR MILEAGE ON IT, BUT INCREDIBLY HAZARDOUS TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD! GIVEN THE SHEAR NUMBER OF RECORDED COMPLAINTS/INCIDENTS (FOR THE SAME PROBLEM) SEEN HERE AS WELL AS IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL FORD CUSTOMER ALL MY LIFE, BUT I AM THINKING OF TRADING IT IN ON ANOTHER MAKE & MODEL ALTOGETHER! I HAVE JUST ABOUT LOST FAITH AND TRUST IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION *JUST* TURNED 30K MILES;THE BASIC WARRANTY ENDED 7/31/13. ON 10/13 DRIVING 60 MPH ON I-95 IN THE MIDDLE LANE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED-NO ENGINE POWER/RESPONSE WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. A WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT ON MY DASH. WITH NO ENGINE POWER TO QUICKLY PULL OVER, I WAS AFRAID OF BEING HIT & BARELY COASTED OVER 3 LANES TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP & IT STARTED BUCKING.I REALIZED THE CAR HAD NOT STALLED--IT HAD LOST ENGINE POWER. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF & ON TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED FINE, IDLED FINE, NO WRENCH LIGHT LIT; I EASED MY WAY BACK INTO TRAFFIC. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE SAME THING HAPPENED: THE CAR SEEMED TO STALL-LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE.THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT; THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT.FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE & COULD COAST INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE; THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AGAIN. I AGAIN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF & ON AGAIN TO START THE CAR. AGAIN, THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT, & THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED LIT. I GINGERLY REENTERED TRAFFIC & DROVE HOME SLOWLY IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE.MY MECHANIC RETRIEVED A SERVICE CODE OF P2111 WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I RESEARCHED-THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS, THERE IS A TSB, & THERE HAS BEEN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NHTSA & FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I CALLED MY DEALER, EXPLAINED, GAVE THEM THE CODE, TOLD THEM WHAT I FOUND & THAT IT SHOULD FALL UNDER THE EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY (IT IS TECHNICALLY AN EMISSIONS DEFECT), IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SINCE MY CAR WAS BARELY OUT OF THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY & ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS A GOODWILL MATTER.FEARFUL OF BREAKING DOWN AGAIN I HAD THE CAR TOWED ~30 MILES TO THE DEALER.THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY & IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

MY SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN A "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON (IN THE DASH) AND THE CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR. RESTARTING THE CAR AFTER PULLING OVER RESULTS IN NORMAL OPERATION. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT TURNS OUT THE THROTTLE PLATE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT THE RESULT OF ABUSE OR DIFFICULT DRIVING CONDITIONS AND IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. I AM CONFIDENT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY RESULTS FROM SUCH LOSS OF CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION.

THE CAR CONTINUED TO IDLE AND YOU COULD FEEL IT TRYING TO GO BUT IT WOULDN'T AND I WAS LEFT TRYING TO COAST OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I EVENTUALLY MANAGED TO COAST TO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHERE I PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS THE CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY "LURCH" LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO GO BUT IT WASN'T GETTING ANY GAS AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT CLIMB (SO NOT THE TRANSMISSION). INSTEAD THE NEEDLE ON THE RPM WOULD BOUNCE SLIGHTLY UP AND DOWN AS THE CAR TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD.

MY CAR IS 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO DEALER SAID TOUGH LUCK. I HAD TO PAY $438.80 FOR REPAIR. "REGULATORS AND FORD HAVE LOGGED MORE THAN 1,000 COMPLAINTS. CONSUMER ADVOCATES IN NORTH CAROLINA CONVINCED THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO BEGIN AN INVESTIGATION, BUT IN SIX MONTHS, THE CASE HASN'T MOVED PAST THE PRELIMINARY STAGE." PLEASE TELL ME THAT FORD WILL BE COMPELLED TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I READ ONLINE THAT FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THAT IS ABSURD.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE ON I-40 WHEN I HEARD A NOISE AND THEN REALIZED THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS GIVEN THE FACT THAT I WAS DRIVING DURING A TIME OF HIGH-VOLUME TRAFFIC, AND THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME ALSO GOING 70 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ENDANGERING MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS. UPON REACHING THE SHOULDER, I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS BUCKING AND SURGING, AND I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING, BUT UPON ACCELERATING TOWARDS HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND I MOVED BACK ONTO THE SHOULDER. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE MY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART, THAT IT IS ON BACK ORDER WITH FORD ON A NATIONAL SCALE. QUITE FRANKLY, I'M APPALLED THAT FORD HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART, AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL ONLY OCCUR AFTER SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THEIR DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY.

MY CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER SO I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT DOWN. WHEN I WENT TO START IT BACK UP AT SPUTTERED BUT STARTED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME ON MY TRIP HOME. BOTH TIMES I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. WHAT I HAVE NOT COME TO UNDERSTAND IS WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECALL WHATEVER PART IS CAUSING THIS. TO SAY I'M DISAPPOINTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

TRAVELING ON I-95 AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN THE LEFT-MOST LANE, THE RPM DROPPED OFF DRAMATICALLY AND HOVERED AROUND 1,000 RPM. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO MY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR NEVER STOPPED RUNNING COMPLETELY BUT WOULD NOT RUN PAST 1500 RPM (APPX.). I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF, PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED FINE, RAN FOR APPX. 2 MILES, AND DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ON 2-3 MORE OCCASIONS. ON ONE OCCASION, IT DIDN'T MAKE IT MORE THAN 20 YARDS. I WENT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER (LESS THAN APPX. 5 MILES FROM WHERE THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN) AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION OR FORD'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN I ASKED WHY THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. GIVEN THE AGE OF THE CAR AND THE FACT THAT I HAD LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO AGREE TO THE REPAIR,I ASKED TO KEEP THE OLD THROTTLE BODY AND HAVE IT IN MY POSSESSION. I WAS FIRST ADVISED THAT THERE WOULD BE A CORE CHARGE TO KEEP THE THROTTLE BODY BUT WAS LATER TOLD THERE WAS NO CORE CHARGE AND WAS NOT ULTIMATELY REQUIRED TO PAY A CORE CHARGE. WHILE WAITING FOR THE REPAIR, I USED THE INTERNET TO RESEARCH THE MATTER AND FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES REGARDING MORE THAN 700,000 FORDS INCLUDING MY MAKE AND MODEL. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, I RAISED THE ISSUE WITH SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE I PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR (APPX. $550) AND THERE WAS NO ACTIVE PROGRAM TO COVER THE REPAIR OR REIMBURSE ME AT THE TIME. BECAUSE I NEEDED TO RETURN TO WORK AND NEEDED MY CAR FOR WORK-RELATED TRAVEL IN A FEW DAYS, I PAID FOR THE REPAIR BUT WAS ASSURED IF A PROGRAM WAS INSTITUTED BY FORD TO COVER THE REPAIR, THE COST WOULD BE REFUNDED. *JS

CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", WITH WRENCH LIT UP ON DASH. COULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH, AND THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING TERRIBLY. TOOK ALMOST A MONTH FOR FORD TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THE SERVICE FOLKS INDICATED IT WAS AN "EPIDEMIC" ACROSS THE US, AND THE ISSUE WAS PART AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ISSUES.

Mileage: 46,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JERK AND THE CHECK ENGINE (WRENCH) LIGHT WILL COME ON AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. AFTER PULLING THE CAR OVER AND PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURN THE CAR BACK ON, IT TAKES A MINUTE TO TURN OVER AND THEN DRIVES FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. CODES P2111 AND P2112

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION, WITH 43,000 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY PASSING A CAR, WHEN I EXPERIENCED A JERK AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR TO SEE A CAR APPROACHING VERY QUICKLY. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ONLY PASSING ONE CAR AND IT HAD ALREADY GOTTEN BY ME SO I PULLED BACK OVER AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A WRENCH LIGHT ON. I TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED A MOMENT AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THE WRENCH WAS GONE. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND NO CODES CAME UP. HOWEVER, THE ETB CHECK FOUND A FAULT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

Mileage: 43,358

CAR LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. CAR WAS JERKING AND SHAKING. THE CAR HAD A "WRENCH" LIGHT ON THE DASH. ENGINE CODES WERE P2111 AND P 2112. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THE ISSUE IS THE THROTTLE BODY. IT IS A SEALED UNIT AND MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

CAR IDLING ROUGH, ENGINE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN AT IDLE OR SLOW (PARKING LOT) SPEEDS. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OVER SEVERAL DAYS. READ THAT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE FORD FUSION CARS, BEING THE THROTTLE BODY. VERIFIED WITH MECHANICS. NO TROUBLE CODES GIVEN BY ON BOARD COMPUTER. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 65-70MPH. THIS HAS CONTINUED HAPPENING FROM TIME TO TIME, EVEN AFTER CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. IDLE ISSUES ALSO CONTINUE. STILL NO TROUBLE CODES GIVEN BY THE ON BOARD COMPUTER. *TR

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DRIVE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH, THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. AS I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND BEGAN PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR BEGAN MILDLY LURCHING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND GET THE CAR STOPPED. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED A FEW MINUTES LATER TO FIND THE VEHICLE APPEARING TO BE COMPLETELY FINE. I GOT OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AT THE NEXT EXIT AND LUCKILY MADE IT SAFELY HOME. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED OVER, I WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY WAS "GUMMED UP" AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM TOLD THAT THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS NOT SOMETHING COMMONLY NEEDED TO BE DONE ON A CAR ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES, AND THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL THE CAR ON THE INTERSTATE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

Mileage: 56,000

WHILE DRIVING UPON FOUR OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE STOPPED, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF SPEED AND PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AMID TRAFFIC OR A DRIVING LANE CLOSEST TO THE CURB. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND SLOWLY MANEUVERED TO A STOP. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED, WHICH NORMALLY INDICATES A POWERTRAIN ISSUE; HOWEVER, DURING THE 4TH OCCASION, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND THEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL SERVICE PERSONNEL MEMBERS AND RECEIVING GUIDANCE, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. WHILE QUESTIONING MY VEHICLE'S SERVICE CONCERNS, I ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL AT MY DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME CAR AND ISSUE, WHICH WAS SOLVED BY REPLACING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I LET THE CAR REST FOR 5 MINUTES, STARTED THE CAR BACK UP WITH EASE AND WITHOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR 7 DAYS. THE SUBSEQUENT INCIDENCES OCCURRED WITHIN A 3 HOUR PERIOD. ALTHOUGH NOT ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME, I FEARED A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND STUCK TO CITY STREETS. *TR

Mileage: 88,900

I WAS DRIVING ON 1-95 IN VIRGINIA IN THE LEFT LANE EARLY IN THE MORNING WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL SET. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN VERY FAST. I WAS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME IN THE LEFT LANE OR ELSE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED MY CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD AGAIN. ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER MY CAR DID THE SAME THING WHERE THE GAS PEDAL WOULDN'T WORK AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE PART OF THE HIGHWAY DID NOT HAVE VERY MANY EXITS SO I HAD TO START MY CAR UP AGAIN IN ORDER TO MAKE IT TO AN EXIT WITH A FORD DEALERSHIP. ONCE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP I LEFT MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT THE NEXT DAY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TO TELL ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS GOING TO BE $600. I WENT IN TO BUY THE PART TO TRY AND REPLACE IT MYSELF AND TOLD THE CAR DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T EVEN 3 YEARS OLD YET AND THAT I WAS STILL PAYING ON MY LOAN. THE SUPERVISOR SAID THEY HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE ON OTHER FUSIONS AND WAS GOING TO ONLY CHARGE ME $300 FOR THE PART AND THEY WOULD HANDLE PAYING FOR THE LABOR COSTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

Mileage: 42,000

AS I WAS EXITING RT. 35 TO INTERSTATE 75, A MAJOR TRAFFIC INTERCHANGE, MY 2010 FORD FUSION DIED AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO A VERY SLIM BERM AREA TO SHUT IT OFF AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN. IT SEEMS THE THROTTLE BODY WAS "STUCK" AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN DUE TO SOMETHING FORD KNOWS IS AN ISSUE WITH FUSIONS. PLEASE ENCOURAGE A MANDATORY RECALL SO THAT LIVES ARE NOT LOST! I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. I WOULD HOPE THAT FORD WOULD NOT WANT ANY CASUALTIES ON THEIR CONSCIOUS AND WOULD FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 66,225

I WAS TRAVELING ON I-65 AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN I LOST ACCELERATION. THE THROTTLE CONTROL/DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS RAPIDLY SLOWING IN DENSE TRAFFIC WITH NOWHERE TO LULL OFF ON THE LEFT SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT THROUGH 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AS THE CAR SHUT OFF. I CALLED MY MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME TO RESTART IT AND DRIVE TO SAFETY IF POSSIBLE. I DONE SO AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO MY FATHER'S WHO USED A CODE SCANNER AND FOUND A SAVED CODE OF P2111. THIS IS THE CODE FOR TAC STUCK OPEN. AFTER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT FORD HAS NUMEROUS FAULTY THROTTLE BODY UNITS WHICH REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THE SHEER VOLUME OF THESE ISSUES ARE INDICATIVE OF A BAD PRODUCT WHICH PRODUCES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. I COULD HAVE STALLED AND CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WASN'T ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT IN TIME. THIS ALSO COULD POSE A RISK IF SOMEONE WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH TRAFFIC. *TR

Mileage: 75,800

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON DOING ABOUT 60MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER.......ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE AN IDLE (ROUGH IDLE). THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE THROTTLE; THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. IT ONLY DECELERATED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER AND LIMPED TO THE NEAREST SIDE STREET. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD, AND WHEN I RESTARTED, IT RAN PERFECTLY FINE. A CHECK OF THE WEB AND CONTACT WITH THE FORD DEALER INDICATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. THE DEALER INDICATED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, THAT THE PART HAS BEEN UPGRADED TWICE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF A SERVICE BULLETIN/RECALL. A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND ABOUT $500 LATER THE CAR IS FINE ITS CLEAR MAY DRIVERS/CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE THIS WAS DANGEROUS. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED I WAS BEING FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY A LARGE TRUCK. I HAD NO WARNING AND THE ONLY AVAILABLE OPTION WAS TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OUT OF LANE AND ONTO THE SHOULDER.. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE EXTREME RIGHT LANE AND COULD PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT INCIDENT - IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS INCIDENT HAD I BEEN IN THE CENTER OF LEFT LANE, OR WHERE THERE WAS NO AVAILABLE SHOULDER. *TR

Mileage: 53,000

THE FIRST TIME, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I HAD TO MAKE IT ACROSS 2 LANES OF BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WENT ON AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE STAYED RUNNING, BUT HAD A VERY ROUGH IDLE. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY TRIP. THE NEXT DAY IT DID IT AGAIN, TWICE WITHIN 2 MILES OF EACH OCCURRENCE, ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND IT WAS ROUGHLY $350 TO HAVE IT FIXED, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE 5YR 60,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH SPEEDS 70 AND ABOVE. NOT A FUN FEELING HAVING YOUR CAR QUIT UNEXPECTEDLY DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. IT'S OBVIOUS FORD IS HAVING MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE SAME COMPONENT, BASED ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. BY THE WAY, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE FORD JUST REDUCED THE PRICE ON THE PART AS OF 9/1/13. BOY, DO I FEEL LUCKY! *TR

Mileage: 40,101

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR JUST QUIT GOING FORWARD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL RUNNING. IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT MORE GAS TO MOVE IT FORWARD. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I COULD START IT AND IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD FOR A BIT AND THEN DO IT AGAIN. I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE I COULD PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WALKED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. WHEN MY FIANCE CAME HOME A FEW HOURS LATER HE WENT AND GOT THE CAR AND IT RAN WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND CONTINUED TO DO SO FOR A MONTH OR SO WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT STARTED AND RAN AGAIN AFTER JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT TIME WAS IN AUGUST 2013 AND A FAULT FINALLY SHOWED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. OF COURSE THIS WAS AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS UP AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY OVER $600 TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? I AM NOW 900 MILES FROM HOME AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ON MY WAY TO INDIANA WHERE I AM MOVING. I WAS STUCK FOR HOURS ON I 30 W UNTIL THE CAR FINALLY DECIDED TO MOVE AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET ME INTO AUBURN, INDIANA WHERE THE FORD DEALER WILL HAVE TO FIX IT BEFORE I CAN HEAD HOME AND I HAVE NO GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM IF JUST THE THROTTLE BODY IS CHANGED. I HOPE IT ISN'T A COMPUTER CHIP ON THE MOTHER BOARD! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR STARTING LOSING POWER. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 7-8 MILES, I TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, I TURNED OFF THE AIR AND IT DROVE FINE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE THE BOOK THAT CAME WITH MY VEHICLE SAID TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS CHECKED, BUT THE MECHANIC SAID NO CODE IS SHOWING UP. *TR

WEDNESDAY, TWO DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FORD FOR THE $423.74 RECOMMENDED 60,000 MILES SERVICE. THE CAR HAD NEVER STALLED BEFORE THIS SCHEDULED SERVICE. FRIDAY I WAS TRAVELING ON A THREE LANE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC AND PASSING A VEHICLE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD COMPLETELY LOST POWER. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING, STEERING, AIR, RADIO, ETC. BUT THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS PLACED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I MADE MY WAY WITHOUT POWER TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE SIDE OF THE ROAD COASTING SLOWLY. AS I SLOWED I ONCE TRIED MOVING THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO LOW BUT STILL NO POWER. WHEN MY CAR HAD ALMOST STOPPED I COULD FEEL A BUMPY LOW POWER AS I PRESSED THE GAS. THE CAR STOPPED AND I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS LIKE THE STARTER WAS BAD, BUT AFTER 5 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND BEHAVED NORMALLY. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT BUT NOT A RECALL. IT COSTS OVER $500 TO FIX. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

WE FIRST NOTICED A SLIGHT HESITATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY STALLED AT SLOWER SPEEDS, AND IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP RUNNING.

Mileage: 51,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE IGNITION AND ELECTRICAL POWER REMAINED ON, BUT THE THROTTLE BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I TURNED THE IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF. I TURNED IT ON A MINUTE LATER, THE CAR STARTED UP, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THROTTLE RESPONSE WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE TO MY NEAREST FORD DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A FAILED THROTTLE BODY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT, BUT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME.

Mileage: 82,000

I WAS TRAVELLING ON AN INTERSTATE DOING 70 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY CAR MADE A BANG AND I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING, SEEMED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL BUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO COST OVER 4 LANES DODGING TRAFFIC TO GET TO A SPOT WHERE I COULD COME TO STOP. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. NOW JUST OVER A WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN 1 DAY. DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM FUSION AND ESCAPE OWNERS. IT ALSO SEEMS THERE MAY BE AN INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY AS TO WHETHER THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. NOW IF FORD WAS TO FIX THIS IT WOULD BE 1 THING, BUT AFTER ALMOST KILLING ME ON THE INTERSTATE I NOW HAVE TO FORK OVER $400 TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES SHORT OF THE 30K MILE WARRANTY, THE 3 YEAR STIPULATION ON MY WARRANTY ENDED LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO.

UPON ACCELERATING FROM STOP AT CITY INTERSECTION TO 30 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. COASTED INTO NEARBY LOT. "WRENCH" LIGHT ON. TURNED CAR OFF. LUCKILY, NO CAR HAD BEEN APPROACHING FROM REAR, AND THIS WAS BEFORE ENTERING RAMP TO BUSY 60 MPH HIGHWAY. CAR RAN, AS IF NORMAL AFTER RE-STARTING, WRENCH LIGHT OUT. DROVE 15 MILES TO DEALER SERVICE SHOP. SHOP PERFORMED FORD'S THROTTLE BODY TEST PROCEDURE AND VERIFIED THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED. SHOP REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY; CAR AT 54,000 MILES. FROM RESEARCHING, SEE THAT THIS A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH INCREASING RATE OF OCCURRENCE (A TOP 5 CAR COMPLAINT OVER PAST 90 DAYS). GIVEN THE APPARENT INCIDENT RATE, INTERMITTENT NATURE, AND ODDS OF OCCURRING WITH SUDDEN SURPRISE IN TRAFFIC MOVING AT SPEED, CLEARLY PRESENTS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND COMPROMISES SAFETY IN OTHERWISE NORMAL DRIVING CIRCUMSTANCES. EVIDENTLY PROBLEM OCCURS WITHIN PREDICTABLE RANGE ON ODOMETER, WHICH PROBABLY INDICATES SOME MANUFACTURING DEFECT LEADING TO PREMATURE FAILURE. ALONG WITH THE RESULTING SAFETY RISK EXPOSURE, THIS DOES NOT REASONABLY MEET AUTOMOTIVE CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS FOR THE EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY. AS MORE VEHICLES GO THROUGH THIS MILEAGE RANGE, MAY BECOME EPIDEMIC WITH INCREASING ODDS FOR BAD OUTCOMES. WANTED TO ADD MY EVENT TO THE LIST; MAYBE CAN SAVE SOMEONE ELSE POTENTIAL SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY. TO THIS POINT, THE CAR SEEMS GOOD OTHERWISE, BUT THIS ITEM NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND BY ALL RIGHTS GET REMEDIED IN A PROACTIVE MANNER.

THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LOSSES POWER. IT HAS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO PRESS ON THE GAS PETAL BUT THE CAR WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED.YOU MUST PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE AGAIN. IT HAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 2010 ESCAPE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2010 FORD FUSION FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED.*JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I SUDDENLY LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL, REQUIRING ME TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, THRU 2 OR 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. THE AMBER "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND SHUTTING IT OFF, I RESTARTED IT, AND ALL WAS WELL AGAIN. "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS OFF, AND I HAD FULL POWER/THROTTLE CONTROL AGAIN. I CONTINUED MY COMMUTE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE COMMUTE HOME WAS UNEVENTFUL TOO. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST MONTH, AND IS VERY UN-NERVING WHEN IT HAPPENS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AS YOU COAST WHILE LOSING ALL POWER, TRYING TO CHANGE LANES AND AVOID TRAFFIC. I'LL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN THE MORNING. SEARCHING THE NHTSA DATABASE SHOWS LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO HAVE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 71 AND THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS LOOSING POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED AND I ACCELERATED AND I PULLED ONTO THE INTERSTATE. ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PULLED OVER, WAITED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I AGAIN PULLED ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE OKAY TO DRIVE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO JOHN NOLAN AUTO SERVICE. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE EEC. DIAG. P02111 STORED IN THE COMPUTER FOR THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSY AND RE-PROGRAMMED THE PCM.

AFTER I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT I COULD NOT FULLY ACCELERATE ON GREEN AS THE ENGINE SHOOK VIOLENTLY, THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT. I WAS ABLE, BUT ONLY SLOWLY, TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE ENGINE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. NO WRENCH LIGHT OR ENGINE SHAKING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 26, I DROVE THE CAR AND ONCE AGAIN AT A STOP I COULD NOT FULLY ACCELERATE BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AS THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT AND STOP THE ENGINE. I STARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I THEN CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28. ON TUESDAY EVENING AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LEAVE THE CAR OVERNIGHT, ONCE AGAIN THE CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION FROM A STOP WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT LIT.

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD FORD FUSION (2010) STARTED STALLING OUT AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND ASKED HIM WHAT MAY BE WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL OCCASIONALLY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $350 FOR THE PART ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS TO A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE ONE TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WITH A SEMI-TRUCK BEHIND ME AND THE TRUCKER CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME. I ALSO HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT, TURNING LEFT. I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE RESEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT DOES SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM AMONGST MANY FORD FUSION OWNERS IN CARS THAT ARE ONLY 2 OR 3 YEARS OLD. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT FORD DEALERS KNOW THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS THEN I ASK WHY HASN'T THIS PART BEEN RECALLED? *TR

MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS GETTING READY TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED TO 30 MPH. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT OUR EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT FORD IS HAVING A HARD TIME PRODUCING ENOUGH THROTTLE BODIES. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THIS PARTICULAR DEALER HAD A CAR IN THE SHOP THAT HAD WAITED 1 MONTH FOR THIS PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ONE MINUTE LATER AND MY SON WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IMAGINE IF HE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY COULD NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN 30 MPH. IN ADDITION, SINCE THIS EVENT THE FORD SYNC AND BLUETOOTH FEATURES NO LONGER WORK. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY CAR STALLED. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO JUST LET IT COAST AND ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT VERY ROUGH. AFTER I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, IN A FEW MINUTES IT DID RESTART. BUT BY THIS TIME A DEPUTY HAD SHOWN UP. HE WOULD NOT LET ME TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WHEN THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER NOTHING SHOWED UP. I THEN TOOK MY CAR MY CAR TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. AND WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING THE CAR THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $600 TO REPAIR MY CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, IF I HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION SE V6. I WAS TRAVELING AT 80 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR DECIDED IT NO LONGER WISHED TO ACCELERATE. MY SPEED IMMEDIATELY AND DRASTICALLY SLOWED DESPITE KEEPING MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE ACCELERATOR. BECAUSE I DID NOT TOUCH MY BRAKES, THERE WAS NO WARNING OF MY RAPID DECELERATION TO THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME BY WAY OF BRAKE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME MISSED HITTING ME BY ABOUT 2 INCHES AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND THAT HAD TO SWERVE - IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC - TO AVOID HITTING BOTH OF US. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I QUICKLY THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OVER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE CAR SHOOK, SPUTTERED, AND SEEMED TO TRY TO LITERALLY JERK FORWARD ENTIRELY BY ITSELF. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON WAS THE LITTLE WRENCH (THROTTLE CONTROL/POWERTRAIN/STABILITY). I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED THE KEYS. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, THEN I STARTED UP THE CAR, SAW NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT A SINGLE ISSUE. IT WAS A TRULY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE BUT BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

LIKE MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS I READ ON- LINE AND WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM MYSELF A 55 YEAR OLD FEMALE, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT HAD NO ACCELERATION THE PEDAL WAS WORTHLESS, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING SLAMMED INTO BY OTHER CARS AND THEN WHEN I CAME TO COMPLETE STOP THE CAR STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED. I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF IGNITION THEN I RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A FEW MILES THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO RESTART 4 TIMES TO MAKE IT HOME AND I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN MY HOME TOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE I MAKE A LOT OF TWO HUNDRED MILE TRIPS. I GOOGLED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS LEMON VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD DEALERSHIP WANTED CLOSE TO $700.00 TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, PARTS AND LABOR. I'M RECENTLY DIVORCED AND UNEMPLOYED AND COULD NOT AFFORD THIS RIDICULOUS AMOUNT FOR SOMETHING THAT TAKES LESS THEN 10 MIN. TO CHANGE, I BOUGHT A NEW ONE FOR $172.00 AND DID IT MYSELF COULDN'T BE EASIER. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT RECALLING ALL VIN NUMBERS MINE WASN'T INCLUDED IN RECALL, THANK GOD SOMEONE POSTED ON UTUBE HOW TO CHANGE IT.

2 DAYS IN A ROW, DRIVING 40-50 MPH AND MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSES ACCELERATION. THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE TO ROLL TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE THE CAR SHAKES LIKE IT IS STALLING OUT. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO THEN TURN THE CAR ON AND EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL, NO WRENCH LIGHT, NO PROBLEMS... UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE A 10 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER TO DRIVE AROUND AND WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT OURSELVES IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON A BUSY ROAD OR HIGHWAY. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH MANY FUSION OWNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON I-77 AT 65 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO A STOP. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. FORTUNATELY A BRAVE PASSERBY PULLED OFF ONTO THE LEFT MEDIAN, STOPPED TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE, DIRECTED ME TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL & PUSHED MY CAR OVER THE LEFT LANE AND ONTO THE LEFT MEDIAN. A STATE HIGHWAY PATROLMAN, COINCIDENTALLY, CAME BY AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. HE PUSHED ME FARTHER OFF THE ROAD, FEARING A REAR END COLLISION. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THE TOW COST OVER $80. IF I HAD NOT PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $700. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING INCIDENT AS THIS IS A HEAVILY TRAVELED STRETCH OF INTERSTATE. I CONSIDER MYSELF VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF THE GOOD SAMARITAN HADN'T HELPED,I WOULD HAVE HAD TO EITHER STAY IN MY VEHICLE & RISK A REAR END COLLISION OR TRY TO LEAVE MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE, CROSS THE LEFT LANE BY FOOT, AND WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE ALONG THE LEFT MEDIAN. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY DEFECT IN FORD FUSIONS HAS BEEN WELL-DOCUMENTED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I WORRY FOR MY NEPHEW & SON-IN-LAW WHO BOTH HAVE 2010 FUSIONS. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND THE CAR LOST ALL RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATOR, PRESSING ON THE GAS DID NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND CAR RAN A ROUGH. TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE AND RESTARTED. CAR RESTARTED FINE AND DROVE FINE AFTER THAT FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN WHILE SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON (I DON'T RECALL IT COMING ON, BUT MAY HAVE JUST MISSED IT). *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKED OFF. I REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD NO POWER, SO I WENT TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING AS I CAME TO A STOP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I COULD SEE WRONG IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, ETC. GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WE WENT A LITTLE WHILE LONGER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ALL IN ALL, IT HAPPENED PROBABLY 8-10 TIMES IN A LITTLE OVER A 100 MILE TRIP. THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE PROBLEM APPEARED, BUT ONLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AFTER RESTARTING.WHEN WE GOT BACK INTO TOWN, I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE THE ENGINE CODE READ AND IT WAS P2111 (THROTTLE BODY). AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATING, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE CARS. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS VERY EASY TO REPLACE, SO TRIED ORDERING ONE. THE PART THAT MOST SOURCES HAVE LISTED IS AROUND $170. BUT, THAT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE REPLACEMENT IS $324. I THINK FORD IS GOUGING THE CONSUMERS TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL. I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I DON'T DARE TAKE A TRIP WITH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW'S HOUSE MY CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUSH IN THE GAS AT ALL. THE RPMS WERE AT 1. I CAME TO A ROLLING STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AN DROVE 1/4 MILE FURTHER AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME AND FELT IT HAPPEN, HE WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUS COST. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS AND AFTER READING ENDLESS THINGS ABOUT THROTTLE BODIES ON FORD VEHICLES THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I AM SO VERY THANKFUL THAT MY CAR DIDN'T SHUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ENDLESS NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SUCH A CRITICAL PART OF OUR VEHICLE TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IN MY OPINION A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT A SIMPLE PROBLEM, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 65,000 MILES ON IT YET. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A CLOGGED FUEL INJECTOR. THAT WAS CLEANED IT THE CAR RAN FINE FOR HALF A DAY AND THEN IT DID THE SAME THING TWICE IN ONE DAY WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF EACH EVENT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND ITS FINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE THAT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $500 FOR REPAIR AS VEHICLE WAS 3 MONTHS OUT OF 36 MONTH WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE "THROTTLE BOX" WHICH THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE BEEN WELL AWARE OF. DEALER DID "ASSISTED" ME WITH COST OF REPAIR - CHARGED ME $50.00.

MY CAR HAD 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST, WAS THE POWERTRAIN TRANSMISSION. IT'S THE SAME SITUATION AS WHAT OTHERS DESCRIBED, BUT MY CAR STARTED MALFUNCTIONING ON THE MONTH WE BOUGHT NEW AND LESS THAN 100 MILES. I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC MILES AND DATES BECAUSE I'M RECALLING FROM 2009 AND IT'S NOW 2013. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE THE GEAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM. I FELT A STICKING ON THE GEAR AND A SLIGHT AWKWARD MOVEMENT OF THE CAR. I TOLD THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I BOUGHT IT IN ELIZABETHTOWN, KY. NOT SURE WHEN, BUT NOT RIGHT AWAY AND THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEN, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE CAR SEEM LIKE IT'S CHANGING GEAR ON IT'S OWN, BUT I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD AND HAVE NOT TOUCH THE GEAR SHIFT OR NOT PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ANY LESS OR MORE, OR BRAKED. IT DID THIS A FEW TIMES, SO I TOOK IT, BUT AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DO ANYTHING. THEN, LATER, I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO A HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, BUT CLEAR WHEN I ENTERED. MY CAR ACCELERATED FOR A SECOND, THEN JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE, AND A CAR GOT PRETTY CLOSE. FINALLY, IT WENT. I TOOK IT AS SOON AS I CAN TO A DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBUS, GA. BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND WAS SCARY. BUT, THEY ONLY CHECKED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. NOTHING WAS DONE. THEN, SAME SCARY THING HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND AGAIN. FINALLY, I TOOK IT IN 2012 AND TOLD THEM THEY HAVE TO FIX THIS BEFORE WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. FINALLY, THEY FIXED IT AFTER MANY TIMES OF TRYING AND BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM SINCE 8-1-2013 AT AROUND 37,000 MILES ON IT. THIS TIME IT'S THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY, BUT, THEY FIXED IT RIGHT AWAY HERE IN HAWAII. THIS TIME IT JUST LOSS ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SHUT DOWN. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE; THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AS TRUCKS AND CARS HAD TO BREAK, WHILE I STEERED THE CAR TO THE NARROW SHOULDER. THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING (TACH SHOWED 900 TO 1000 RPM). HOWEVER, ENGINE WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO MY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, PUT THE FLASHERS ON AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT ONE-QUARTER MILE, THE SAME ENGINE SHUTDOWN OCCURRED. CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER CHECKED FOR TROUBLE CODES. THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE. SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPAIR, I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON TO FORD OWNERS. I WAS GRATIFIED TO SEE THAT YOUR AGENCY HAS OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. I THEN CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP.

I FINALLY GOT IT TO RUN, BUT IT WAS RUNNING TERRIBLY. I NURSED THE CAR TO WHERE I WORKED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS TOWED TO KINGS FORD IN CINCINNATI (ABOUT 20 MILES FROM WHERE I WORK). THE MECHANIC VERIFIED A "DTC P2112" CODE FOR A THROTTLE BODY STUCK. IT WAS REPLACED BY KINGS FORD AND ALTHOUGH I WAS UNDER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE (3 YEAR/36,000). I WAS CHARGED 442.81 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. I COMPLAINED TO FORD AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD "TOO BAD". NOT HAPPY WITH ANY FORD PRODUCT NOW.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE, WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST POWER, BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF.

THIS HAS BEEN A TRUE NIGHTMARE DRIVING THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD MANY SITUATIONS THAT NOT ONLY HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF BUT ALSO MY PASSENGERS AND MOST IMPORTANT MY GRANDCHILDREN. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BACK IN JANUARY, THEY REPLACED CHARCOAL CANNISTER WHICH HELPED FOR APPROX. 2 MONTHS. SINCE THEN PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 3 TIMES EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY TOUGH LUCK, NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. HAVE RESEARCHED ON-LINE ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER A COUPLE SEPARATE SIMILAR INSTANCES AND TRIPS TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP, THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. AFTER REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND FOUND NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION. THE RESEARCH STATED THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BETWEEN 40,000 TO 60,000 MILES. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED A SMALL BUCKING TYPE SYMPTOM WHILE SITTING AT AN IDLE AT STOPS LIGHTS. TODAY WHILE PULLING OUT FROM MY STREET ONTO THE MAIN ROAD MY CAR BEGAN BUCKING VERY BAD AND STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND CONTINUED ON TO WORK. IT HAPPENED TWICE MORE AT STOP LIGHTS WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY! I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THEY JUST CALLED TO TELL ME IT WAS THE FUEL BODY AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER! CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I WOULD DEMAND THAT FORD ISSUES A RECALL FOR THESE PARTS IMMEDIATELY! *TR

I CONTACTED FORD, AND THEY INDICATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS, THE PART HAS BEEN BACK-ORDERED MONTHS AT A TIME, MORE THAN ONCE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED IN THE 4 AND 6 CYLINDER ENGINES ALL TRIM LEVELS. I WAS GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND FEARED FOR MY LIFE. THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STOPS WITHOUT WARNING, AND A DRIVER COULD BE ANYWHERE. LEMON LAW?

2010 FORD FUSION: GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED LOSING POWER, NO ACCELERATION AND DOWN TO 55 AT WHICH TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT DIED. I LET IT SIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT - STARTED FINE. THE FORD GARAGE PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT I WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON THERE WAS NO MEMORY TO SHOW WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT BACK TO FORD - BUT WAS TOLD AGAIN - NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC DOES NOT SHOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE WEB I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT - BUT MY LOCAL GARAGE DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT WITHOUT KNOWING FOR SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE - MAYBE THE NEXT TIME I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY/ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STALLS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 WHEN THE ENGINE SLOWED DOWN AND DID NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS JUST STARTING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT SO IT WAS NOT AS DANGEROUS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

WE WERE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. WE WERE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK, AND HAD TO MAKE OUR WAY TO THE CURB TO TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER WE STARTED IT AGAIN THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK TO WHERE WE WERE STAYING. WE WERE OUT OF TOWN AND WE HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER IN THAT AREA. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND THAT MOST OF THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THAT PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. WE WERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE TIME AND HAD TO MAKE IT BACK TO VIRGINIA. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO ADVANCE AUTO WHERE THE CODE P2111 SHOWED UP AS THE ERROR WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LATER THIS WEEK FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WE CANNOT DRIVE OUR CAR NOW. I CALLED FORD TODAY AND WAS INFORMED BY CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AS OF NOW. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MOST 2010 FORD FUSIONS AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC VEHICLE SUDDENLY SEEMED TO LOSE DRIVE POWER. WRENCH LITE CAME ON AS I TRIED MY BEST TO MOVE OUT OF HARMS WAY.DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH WITHOUT THIS EXCITING VEHICLE FAILURE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS THE LIMP-HOME MODE WHICH ONE ENCOUNTERS WHEN A THROTTLE BODY HAS MALFUNCTIONED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT FORD HAS NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT IS CLEAR UPON INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS OCCURRING FAR TOO OFTEN. WHEN MY FORD SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ON MY 37 MONTH OLD CAR I LEFT IN DISGUST. I THEN HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED BY A REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE SUM OF $350. I TRUST NHTSA WILL FIND THAT THIS IS A REAL DANGER AND INSIST UPON A RECALL OR INFORMATION NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS.

THE NIGHT OF JUNE 30TH I HAD DROVE TO WORK, NOTICING IT RIDING RATHER ROUGH, BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OKAY. LEAVING WORK THOUGH I STOPPED AT A LOCAL STORE, WHILE I WAS PARKED AND IDLING THE CAR STALED WITH A BATTERY LIGHT ON. I HAD JUST PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BATTERY, WHICH WAS ANNOYING ENOUGH IN A 2010, JUST SIX MONTHS AGO SO I ASSUMED THE BATTERY WAS BAD AGAIN. I WAS GOING TO TRY TO JUMP THE CAR WHEN I REALIZED IT WOULD START AGAIN, I DROVE A FEW FEET AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ABOUT 30 MILES HOME LUCKILY BUT CONTINUED STALING THE WHOLE WAY HOME. IT EVEN STALED WHEN I WAS GOING 55 MPH. I GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS A WEBSITE STATING THAT I WAS NOT ALONE IN THIS AND THAT MANY OTHER FORD CARS HAVE ALSO HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS COST ME 500+ OVER THE PAST YEAR JUST IN COSTS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF MONEY I HAVE LOST IN GAS TOO.

THE CAR HAD VERY RUFF IDLE WHILE STOPPED, AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE. I SHUT-OFF THE CAR FOR FEW MINS, AND RE-FIRED THE ENGINE. IT STARTED, BUT FEW MINS LATER, STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SERVICE WRENCH WERE BOTH ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME, 40 MILES AND THEN TO DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS. DURING THE DRIVING TO HOME AND THE DEALER THE CAR STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THE SPEED DID NOT SEEM TO MATTER WHEN THE CAR STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE'S THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT ALSO REQUIRED A REPROGRAM OF PCM. I ALSO, DID SOME RESEARCH AND OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM TOO AND YOU ALL HAVE AN INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY, HTTP://WWW.NBCNEWS.COM/BUSINESS/1-3-MILLION-FORDS-TOYOTAS-HONDAS-UNDER-INVESTIGATION-1C8536130.

MY 2010 FUSION IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME LOSS OF POWER ISSUES (COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATOR RESPONSE, FOLLOWED BY THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARING) RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. WHILE SPORADIC AT FIRST, THE FREQUENCY OF THE INCIDENTS HAS INCREASED TO WHERE FAILURE NOW HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN (THE 25+ FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN ALL SITUATIONS, AT ALL SPEEDS: AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ON SIDE STREETS, ACCELERATING UP HILLS, PULLING AWAY FROM STOPLIGHTS, ETC). I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE THE LAST THROTTLE FAILURE OCCURRED AS I CROSSED A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND COULD'VE RESULTED IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED IN APRIL, MY LOCAL DEALER CLAIMED FORD HAD PLACED A "HOLD" ON ALL THROTTLE BODIES AND THAT A NEW DESIGN OF THE THROTTLE BODY PART WAS BEING SHIPPED FROM THE SUPPLIER IN MID-MAY. (THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT, DESPITE THIS BEING A PART OF THE ENGINE, THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.) WHEN MY "NEW" THROTTLE BODY ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN MID-JUNE AND I CAME IN TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, I WAS TOLD FORD HAD PLACED ANOTHER "HOLD" ON THE PART AND MY CAR COULD NOT BE SERVICED AT THIS TIME. IF FORD WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR OWN, IT IS IMPERATIVE THE NHTSA PROTECT CONSUMERS BY FORCING THE COMPANY TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND TO DO SO AT NO COST TO THE CAR OWNERS. FOR OWNERS WHO ARE FORCED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START, I WAITED A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES, IT CUT-OFF AGAIN. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD THREE OR FOUR CARS FROM FORD, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IN ADDITION, FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. IF FORD DOES NOT RECALL THESE VEHICLES, MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT MR. STEVEN KENNER, GLOBAL DIRECTOR, WHO FEELS THAT THERE IS NO UNREASONABLE RISK, PLACE HIS FAMILY INTO THESE FORD VEHICLES AND LET THESE VEHICLE STOP ON THEM AT NIGHT, OR ON THE EXPRESSWAY, OR WHERE EVER THEY MAY BE.

AS I DROVE MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION UP TO A SPEED OF 50 MPH, I WAS NOTICING A COUPLE JERKS OF ACCELERATION AND THEN COMPLETELY LOOSING POWER.I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT. APP-ON RESTARTING I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO AUTO ZONE WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FUEL INJECTORS PROBABLY NEEDED A GOOD CLEANING. SO I BOUGHT SOME CLEANER AND RAN I THROUGH MY ENGINE. THAT SEEMED TO HAVE WORKED UNTIL 3 DAYS LATER I WAS COMING HOME WITH MY SISTER AND HER FRIEND ON THE FREEWAY, DURING RUSH HOUR DRIVING 75MPH THIS TIME, AND MY CAR DIDN'T ONLY STALL ONCE, BUT THREE TIMES ON MY DRIVE HOME. HOWEVER, THIS TIME MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO WHEN I ARRIVED BACK HOW AND DROPPED OF MY SISTER AND HER FRIEND I DROVE TO AUTO ZONE AND ADVANCED AUTO PARTS TO GET AN OBD II READING. BOTH READINGS WERE P2111, MEANING THAT MY THROTTLE ACTUATOR WAS STUCK OPEN AND NOT RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDDLE. NOW BOTH COMPANIES SUGGESTED THAT I JUST CLEAN MY THROTTLE BODY AND THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. BEFORE I DID THIS I CALL MY FORD DEALER TO SEE IF THIS PART WAS UNDER WARRANTY OR ANY KIND OF RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I JUST CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT WOULD FIX MY PROBLEM. SO I CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT NOW THE CAR IS STALLING MORE THAN BEFORE. I TRIED LOOKING UP THE PART SO THAT I COULD REPLACE IT BUT FOUND OUT THAT FORD HAS ALREADY DISCONTINUED THAT PART AND IS TELLING PEOPLE TO BY THE NEW PART, BUT THEY NEVER DID A RECALL FOR THE PART. THIS PARTICULAR PART CONTROLS THE AIR FLOW INTO THE ENGINE, IF IT MALFUNCTIONS THE THROTTLE BODY CLOSES UP AND THE CAR IDLES, NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THIS IS A SEVER SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IF THEY DON'T SOMEONE CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR WORSE, KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD WHEN MY CAR STOPPED. I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO. I BARELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT RESTARTED. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED THE FOLLOWING DAY BECAUSE IT DID THE SAME THING ON A HILL. I HAD TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR THIS TIME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500 TO FIX AND THE PART WOULD TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO COME IN DUE TO IT BEING ON BACK ORDER FROM IT HAPPENING SO OFTEN. I ALMOST GOT HIT WITH MY THREE YEAR OLD AND 6 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NO WHERE AND AT ANY SPEED. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN!!! FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE THIS A SAFETY RECALL!! THE DEALER SAID HE IS SEEING IT IN MOSTLY ALL 2010-2012 FUSIONS. *TR

WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, CAR LOST POWER AND BEGAN JERKING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS, MY ORIGINAL THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD, NUMBER 2 WAS BAD, AND NUMBER 3 WAS BAD. NOW I AM ON THROTTLE BODY NUMBER 4, WHICH I BOUGHT NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA. IT TOOK DAYS TO FIND IT, AS NEW THROTTLE BODIES ARE ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I WONDER WHY? *TR

Mileage: 45,000

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 40MPH MY CAR FELT LIKE IT DIED, IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT UNRESPONSIVE. THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE BECAUSE I WAS IN AN AREA WHERE THERE WERE NO SHOULDERS TO COAST TO. ONCE I STOPPED, I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT, IT RAN FINE AND ACTED NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS, AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING ON THE SAME STRETCH OF HIGHWAY THAT I USE EVERY DAY. ONLY THIS TIME IT KEPT HAPPENING ABOUT EVERY 15 TO 20 MIN. IT IS AT THE FORD DEALER NOW AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT HAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE REPLACING SO MANY RIGHT NOW THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND I MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT 3 OR 4 WEEKS. SO NOT ONLY AM I OUT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN ILL GET MY CAR BACK. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING THIS FOR FREE. ITS A DEFECTIVE PART. AND IT IS NOT VERY CHEAP. PLUS THEY ARE CHARGING ME $130.00 AN HOUR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THAT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS ALREADY AWARE OF. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS ALL THE OTHER THROTTLE BODY PEOPLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MODERATELY TRAVELED ROAD, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER WHERE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR (NOTHING HAPPENED). I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SOME WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY (NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH) AND I PROCEEDED HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A BUSIER ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED RESTARTING IT. ONCE I GOT IT RESTARTED, I HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING THE THROTTLE BODY. MY ISSUE IS THAT IT CAN COMPLETELY CATCH THE DRIVER OFF GUARD AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT VERY OLD AND THE MANUFACTURER SEEMS TO BE CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PART (ONLY SO MANY RELEASED AT A TIME). IT TOOK OVER A WEEK TO GET MY CAR BACK FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AS READ IN FORUMS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. LOOKING AT THE RPMS THEY WERE MOVING UP AND DOWN.. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AS I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES PULLING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I WAS ON A ROUND TRIP FROM KENTUCKY TO OHIO, NO MORE THEN 80 MILES TOTAL, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE REALLY CAUSED A MAJOR COLLISION!!! AFTER GETTING HOME AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON LINE I CANNOT BELIEVE THE HORRIFIC AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING. I PURCHASED THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO, AND CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND WHAT SEEMS TO BE FROM 600-800.00 ON A NEW THROTTLE BODY. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION (40000 MILES) SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT STALLED AND WOULD NO LONGER MOVE UNTIL IT WAS SHUT OFF AND CRANKED BACK UP. I HAD TO MANEUVER MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY BY COASTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT RECENTLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER A RED LIGHT. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD. YOU MUST DEPEND ENTIRELY ON COASTING TO SAFETY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING . THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD POSSIBLY TAKE 8 WEEKS TO GET A NEW ONE SINCE SO MANY ARE BEING NEEDED. WHY HAS FORD NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PART? I HAVE READ MANY ACCOUNTS ONLINE OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HOPE THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING INJURED FOR FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS GOES ON REPEATEDLY AT ALL SPEEDS BUT USUALLY WORSE WHEN ABOVE 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN APPLYING SLIGHT PRESSURE TO GAS PEDAL WHETHER CARE IS ALREADY MOVING OR AT STOP THE CAR ENGINE JUST STOPS AND LITTLE WRENCH SIGN COMES ON AND YOU COAST TO STOP AND THEN HAVE TO RESTART. ( I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL BATTERIES DUE TO ALL THIS RESTARTING) . ALSO THIS SEEMS TO BE TRIGGERED OR AGGRAVATED WHEN YOU HIT SLIGHT BUMP IN ROAD. THIS OCCURS THE LEAST NUMBER OF TIMES ON DAYS WHEN WE LEAVE IN DRIVEWAY. WE DON'T TAKE CARE ON HIGHWAY ANYMORE FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. FOR EXAMPLE DRIVING AROUND TOWN IN ATLANTA TODAY IT DOES THIS AND STOPS BETWEEN 20 AND 40 TIMES PER HOUR. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN OVER THE PAST YEAR THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. THIS IS AGGRAVATING SINCE SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. FORD OF COURSE IS CLUELESS AND NOT HELPFUL HAVING SUGGESTED THAT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS OR CAUSED BY USING OFF AIR CONDITIONING TOO MUCH SINCE THIS IS ATLANTA. OF COURSE IT IS NEITHER SINCE WE HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND IT HAPPENS WHEN AC IS NOT ON.. I THINK HENRY FORD HAD THE ENGINEERING BETTER ON THE MODEL T BUT WE OWN IT NOW AND WE ARE NOW STUCK WITH IT. NO MORE AMERICAN CARS FOR THIS FORMER MICHIGAN RESIDENT. LOYALTY TO DETROIT IS NOT MUTUAL. *TR

IN THE PAST MONTH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE THROTTLE DID NOT WORK NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD CORRECT IT WAS TO TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. IN A COUPLE OF THESE INSTANCES I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR (BUHLER FORD IN EATONTOWN NEW JERSEY) AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART SINCE THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AWAITING THE PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. I WENT ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE PARTS AND CHANGE THEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST ME NEARLY $500 TO FIX BUT THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THEY CAN GET THE PART. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY BRING THE ENGINE DOWN TO IDLE OR STALL THE CAR COMPLETELY AND SEND A P2111 OR P2112 ERROR CODE (THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN/CLOSE, RESPECTIVELY) AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN ORDER TO BRING THE CAR BACK INTO A NORMAL RUNNING STATE. RESETTING THE CAR DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL GO AWAY, AND ABOUT 40-50% OF THE TIME THE CAR STALLS AGAIN RIGHT AFTER ATTEMPTING TO RE-ENTER TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MPH WHEN VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND THE ENGINE SHUDDERED TO A STOP. INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATIONS WERE A "WRENCH" AND STEADY ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE CAR AND DRIVE A MILE TO MY HOME THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, HOWEVER ABOUT 1.5 MI. FROM HOME THE SAME EXACT INDICATIONS AND CONDITIONS RETURNED WHEN I ACCELERATED FROM 45 TO 50 MPH. AGAIN THE "WRENCH" AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. A RESTART ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE HOME DURING WHICH TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED STEADY. THE CONDITION RECURRED AN ADDITIONAL TWO TIMES DURING THE SHORT DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR ON MONDAY. I WAS NOT TOLD OF THE EXTENSIVE HISTORY OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT WAS ONLY ADVISED THAT THE "THROTTLE BODY" WAS CARBONNED UP" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR CLEANED, THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THROTTLE BODIES WERE ON BACKORDER AND SAID THEY CLEANING MINE SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I ELECTED TO HAVE THEM CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER THE MAINTENANCE WAS ALLEGEDLY COMPLETED I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, WHEN, WITHIN ONLY 1/2 MI. OF THE DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY THOROUGHFARE TO RETURN TO THE DEALER WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN LEAVING ME THE MIDDLE OF FOUR LANES OF OPPOSING, FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC. I FELT VERY UNSAFE. AFTER A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH MY VEHICLE AND I SUSPECT IT IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN WHAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DATE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 70 MILES AN HOUR, SOUTHBOUND IN THE HOV LANE OF I-95 NEAR EXIT 2B IN ALEXANDRIA VA. THE AREA IS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH BARRICADES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TWO LANE HOV FACILITY. SUDDENLY, AND ABRUPTLY, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP IN A MANNER THAT BLOCKED THE RIGHT LANE OF THE HOV FACILITY. THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING IN A ROUGH IDLE, AND THE ENGINE/WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR (SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING THE CAR BACK ON TRYING A VARIETY OF SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO N OR P). THE CAR WOULD RUN, BUT ALWAYS AT A ROUGH IDLE WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. DURING THIS TIME, THERE WERE SEVERAL NEAR REAR-END COLLISIONS DUE TO MOTORISTS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BEFORE ENCOUNTERING MY COMPLETELY STOPPED VEHICLE. REALIZING THE PERIL I WAS IN, I QUICKLY EXITED THE VEHICLE AND HOPPED THE CONSTRUCTION BARRICADE. I CALLED 911 DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION AND IT TOOK AROUND 25 MINUTES FOR THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE VEHICLE TO ARRIVE. AFTER THE ENGINE COOLED, THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS WITHIN 90 SECONDS OF ME DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE TO DISCOVER THAT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND WELL KNOWN TO FORD. THE ISSUE IS SO PERVASIVE THAT THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER ON THE PART WITH A LEAD-TIME OF MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. I WAS ANGERED TO LEARN THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE YET HAS NOT SENT NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM OR A RECALL AND IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I AM ANGERED OF THE PERIL THAT I WAS PLACED IN WHEN THIS KNOWN ISSUE IMPACTED ME IN ONE OF THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACES TO HAVE IT HAPPEN. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

AT HOME I PUT A CODE READER ON THE CAR AND FOUND IT HAD THE ERROR P2111. INVESTIGATING THIS FURTHER TELLS ME IT IS DUE TO FUEL INJECTION THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED THE DEALER HUNTINGTON FORD IN ROCHESTER HILLS, MI WHO WANTS ME TO BRING THE CAR FOR CHECKUP WITH SCANNER ( COSTS ABOUT $96). SINCE THE CAR HAS 58300 MILES ON IT IS NO LONGER COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I CHECKED MY OWNERS MANUAL AND IT STATED THAT IF THE LIGHT REMAINED ON I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON OR DEMONSTRATE ANY INDICATION OF TROUBLE, SO I CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION. UPON REACHING MY DESTINATION, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA, EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND DROPPED IT OFF FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. AFTER LEAVING IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR TWO DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT STATED THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT SPECIFIC PART WAS BACK-ORDERED UNTI JUNE. WITH NO OPTIONS AVAILABLE, I PAID THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $130.71 AND DECIDED TO TRY TO DRIVE IT HOME. ON MAY 16TH, 2013, AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30AM, ON I-81 SOUTHBOUND AT 70MPH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE OCCURED AGAIN. I PUT ON THE HAZARD INDICATORS, PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS TIME WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE "ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON (NO "WRENCH" LIGHT). LEAVING THE CAR RUNNING, I CHECKED MY OWNERS MANUAL AND IT STATED TO DRIVE IT TO THE CLOSES DEALERSHIP. UPON REACHING THE DEALERSHIP, I EXPLAINED THE REPEATED TROUBLE I HAD HAD, WHAT THE PREVIOUS DELAERSHIP HAD STATED AND THAT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING SO THEY COULD DIAGNISE IT WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DAGNOSTIC INDICATED CODE P2111 (THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN-REPLACE THROTTLE BODY). THEY INSTALLED IT, I PAID THE TOTAL SERVICE FEE OF $381.91 AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. *TR

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH ON US HIGHWAY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ENTERED INTO A LIMITED POWER "LIMP HOME" MODE, DROPPING ENGINE TO IDLE SPEED AND CAUSING A WRENCH LIGHT TO ACTIVATE ON THE DASH AND ACTIVATION OF "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. VEHICLE LOSING POWER NEARLY RESULTED IN MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER MOVING TO SHOULDER OF ROADWAY AND SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND TURNING IT BACK ON THE PROBLEM CORRECTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES WHERE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME AT SPEEDS APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND POWERING BACK ON VEHICLE THE PROBLEM AGAIN CORRECTED FOR LESS THAN A MILE. VEHICLE CONTINUED SAME PROBLEM AFTER SHUTDOWN ANOTHER 8 TIMES WITHIN 5 MILES. ONLY ROADSIDE CORRECTION TO ISSUE WAS TO REMOVE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TO RESET COMPUTER. AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK VEHICLE WOULD RUN NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES WHERE ISSUE WOULD RETURN. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHOP WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SHOWED CODES OF P2112 AND P2111, THROTTLE ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN AND THROTTLE ACTUATOR STUCK CLOSED. REQUIRED REPAIR APPEARS TO BE COMPLETE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTART IT UNTIL I GOT TO A AUTO SHOP AND THERE THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED. THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS SAID IT WAS THE ACCELERATOR WHICH THEY REPLACED SAID IT WAS FIXED. 2 WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM THEY REPLACED MY CATALYIC CONVERTER SAID IT WAS FIXED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPEN SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IF FOR 3 DAYS AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THEM 3 MORE TIMES IN WHICH THE LAST TIME I THAT IT OUT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND OWNER. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT UNTIL THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY WHICH I HAD BEEN TELLING THE OTHER DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER AND OWNER ALL ALONG.

I WAS JUST LEAVING THE STREET FROM OUR SUBDIVISION DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN THERE WAS A BREAK IN TRAFFIC AND JUST AS I WAS ACCELERATING THE ENGINE JUST SEEMED TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AT A ROUGH IDLE AND A "WRENCH" SYMBOL SHOWED UP ON MY DASH. WHEN THE TRAFFIC CLEARED I WAS ABLE TO BACK UP INTO THE STREET INTO OUR SUBDIVISION, GOT THE CAR TURNED AROUND AND DROVE BACK TO MY HOUSE AT LESS THAN 5MPH. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SET FOR A WHILE I STARTED IT UP AND IT RAN FINE. I THEN CALLED A MECHANIC AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND ASKED HIM TO CHECK IT OUT, WHICH HE AGREED TO DO. DURING THE DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM HIS LOCATION AND I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND MADE IT TO HIS LOCATION. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR AT HIS LOCATION I WENT ON LINE TO RESEARCH IF ANY OTHER 2010 FUSION OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS THAT HAD, MANY OF WHOM CONTACTED FORD WITH NO LUCK IN GETTING THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I ALSO CALLED FORD TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THEM AND ASKED WHY THEY HAD NOT INITIATED A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS WHAT I CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARDS FOR DRIVERS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR WHICH A RECALL NOTICE HAD BEEN INITIATED. I HAVE HAD FORD PRODUCTS FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS WAS THE KIND OF RESPONSE I GOT. I AM SURPRISED THAT SOMEONE HAS NOT INITIATED A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO. AS I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR'S ENGINE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I ROLLED TO A STOP AT THE CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION, AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. IN PARK, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE SO, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER A MINUTE I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE AFTERWARDS WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. YESTERDAY (4/30/13), THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS GOING 40 MPH AND HAD TO PULL PROMPTLY TO SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE UNSUSPECTING DRIVER BEHIND ME. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GO A FEW FEET BEFORE THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE ABOVE 900 RPMS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE CAR HAD AROUND 38,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. UPON RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM, AND FORD HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT FUTURE CRASHES AND INJURY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!! *TR

MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND CAR STALLED. LUCKILY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF WAY AND MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND I CAME AND SWITCHED CARS WITH HER. AFTER 5 MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AFTER 4-5 MORE STALLS ON MY 2 MILE RIDE HOME. STALLED ON WAY TO DEALER ON MONDAY AND THEY ADVISED NEEDED TO REPLACE A THROTTLE BODY AT A COST OF OVER $500. ONLY HAD CAR FOR 35 MTHS BUT SINCE OVER MILES THE WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER IT. AFTER CHECKING WITH OTHER MECHANICS WAS ABLE TO SEE ABOUT 32 OTHER INCIDENTS THAT REQUIRED SAME REPAIR ON 2010 FUSION 2.5L ENGINE.

I TOO EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AS I HAVE SEEN REPEATEDLY REPORTED WITH THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS GOING AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED, WHEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF MY ENGINE AND WHEN RESTARTED THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER LIGHT UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER OF A MILE AND THE SAME LOSS OF RESPONSE TO THE THROTTLE AND STALLING OCCURRED WHEN I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THERE WAS A "NATIONWIDE BACKORDER" FOR THE PART. I INQUIRED WHY WAS THERE A BACKORDER? THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REPLIED THAT WAS A GOOD QUESTION HE DID NOT KNOW. PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE SO MANY NEED TO BE REPLACED! I WAS QUOTED $420.00. I CALLED LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORES AND THEY ALL SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, IT APPEARS IT IS VERY EASY TO REPLACE, YOU CAN YOUTUBE IT. ALSO I READ THE CODE WILL ONLY APPEAR IF THE WRENCH LIGHT IS STILL LIGHT. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED THAT FORD DOES NOT TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS ON MANY WEBSITE SEARCHES INDICATING THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2010 FUSION. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. HOW HIDEOUS TO THINK SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR LOOSE THEIR LIFE FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD AND SHOULD BE EASILY RECTIFIED. SHAME ON YOU FORD. UNFORTUNATELY I WILL PROBABLY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS AND I HAD REALLY LIKED MY CAR UP UNTIL NOW. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. STOP WAITING. *TR

THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE DUE TO THEY SAY NOT COVERED UNDER POWETRAIN WARRANTY. FORD OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AT THIS TIME.

ABOUT A MONTH LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND REALIZED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE CALLED FORD AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT.

AT ANY GIVEN TIME, USUALLY WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR OVER 25 MILES AN HOUR, THE CAR WILL ABRUPTLY STUTTER AND THEN STALL.

WE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND SEVERAL HUNDRED OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH APPEARS TO BE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. WE CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT WE NEED TO TAKE IT IN. FOR A POTENTIAL SERIOUS DANGEROUS SITUATION, THERE WAS A LACK OF CARE AND CONCERN ON THEIR PART. I BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE STALLING OF THIS VEHICLE AND MANDATE THAT FORD RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AROUND THE INCIDENT DATE, MY 2010 FUSION HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ACCOMPANIED BY A ROUGH IDLE. THE "WRENCH LIGHT" CAME ON DURING EACH INCIDENT. EACH TIME I MOVED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTARTED IT. EACH RESTART TOOK A PROLONGED TIME BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER. AFTER EACH RESTART, THE CAR RAN FINE. THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I HAD A VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. I ENDED UP TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. GIVEN THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS AS WELL AS THE TRIGGERING OF THE "WRENCH LIGHT" I WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE, THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALONG WITH THE LEAD TECHNICIAN AGREED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE LIKELY PROBLEM AND PERFORMED THE REPAIR. DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR WAS APPROX. 3 MONTHS PAST THE 3YRS OF THE 3YRS/36K WARRANTY IT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS REPAIR WAS ALSO NOT COVERED BY THE EPA OR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY NOR WAS IT A COVERED PART ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS RESULTED IN A REPAIR BEING PAID OUT OF POCKET. IT DOES SEEM LIKELY THAT FORD MOTOR CO. IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THE REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY HAS AN UPDATED PART NUMBER (PART # DS7Z9E926A) FROM THE ORIGINAL LISTED PART. THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE UPDATED PART NUMBER WAS PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION TO THE THROTTLE BODY BEING REPLACED, AN UPDATE TO THE VEHICLE COMPUTER WAS ALSO REQUIRED. SINCE THE WRITING OF THIS COMPLAINT, THE CAR HAS NOT HAD ANY FURTHER INCIDENCES OF LOSS OF POWER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AT ALLL. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED ENGINE AGAIN. HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THAT EVENING ME AND MY YOUNG SON WERE GOING OUT FOR DINNER WHEN I TRIED TO MERGE INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC THE THROTTLE RESPONSE WAS NOT THERE. I HAD TO SWERVE SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD THE VEHICULE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE 3 YEAR WARRENTY HAD EXSPIRED BUT THE VEHICULE ONLY HAD 25000 MILES ON IT.I WAS QUOTED AROUND $600 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE AMOUNT OF MILES THAT WEE ON IT.

I WAS SO SCARED I TOOK MY DAUGHTER OUT THE CAR AND STAND HER ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH, WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE WRENCH ON. I HAD IT TOWED, BUT I COULD HAVE SAVED SOME CASH BECAUSE AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT RAN FINE. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG ' NO ERROR CODE, THEY TEST DRIVE IT AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. TURNS OUT IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF IT CLEARS THE ERROR CODE, HOW STUPID IS THIS! WHO IS GOING TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING WHILE GETTING A TOW. I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN, AND SURE ENOUGH ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB I TOLD THEM TO CHANGE THE THROTTLE BOX,' LET'S HOPE THIS FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

READ IN PAPER THAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT FORD THROTTLE BODY. I WAS IN FAST LANE ON I-66 ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SUDDENLY CAR STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS ROOM ON LEFT APRON TO PULL OFF. CAR RESTARTED WHEN I TRIED--WENT 1000 FEET AND STOPPED AGAIN; NOW IN RIGHT LANE AND PULLED OFF. KNEW THERE WAS AN OFF RAMP 1/4 MILE AHEAD AND LIMPED ON APRON WITH CARS PASSING. THE ENTIRE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN MY ESTIMATION. WHEN RESTARTING, IT WAS HARD TO TELL IF AUTO WAS RUNNING OR NOT. WHEN RESTARTING AUTO BACKFIRED ETC. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT HAD REPORTED TO FORD DEALER THAT TRANSMISSION SOMETIME "CLUNKED" WHEN I PUT AUTO IN REVERSE IN THE MORNING. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM.

MY WIFE WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT AT 2MPH OR LESS WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT HIGH RPMS. OUR VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT OF THE SPACE MY WIFE WOULD HAVE ENTERED. HEAVY DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO OUR VEH. AND TO THE PARKED VEH. MY WIFE WAS UNSURE IF SHE HAD CAUSED THE ACDT OR IF IT WAS A MECHANICAL DEFECT. BECAUSE OF THE VERY HEAVY AND RAPID ACCELERATION, I DIDN'T THINK IT IN ANY WAY WAS DRIVER ERROR. AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED, OUR 2010 FUSION WAS CHECKED OUT BY A FORD DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND AMISS. A YEAR LATER IN NOV. OF 2012, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP ABOUT 150 TO 200RPMS. THIS DIDN'T CAUSE ANY GREAT ACCELERATION BUT, CONSIDERING MY WIFE'S EXPERIENCE, I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. JUST AS I GOT INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 2500 TO 3000RPMS. HAD THE CAR BEEN IN DRIVE, A COLLISION COULD HAVE HAPPENED OR I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL. FORD WAS CONTACTED, CAR INSPECTED, AGAIN NOTHING WRONG. A SERVICE WRITER TRIED TO TELL US THAT THE RUBBER FLOOR MAT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE MAT DOESN'T GAIN WEIGHT TO SUDDENLY DEPRESS THE PEDAL ALL BY ITSELF! FORD'S GREAT LAKES REGIONAL MANAGER WAS NOT VERY FORTHCOMING-SHE WASN'T APPARENTLY AWARE THAT THERE WERE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF 2010 FUSION OWNERS FILMING THEIR DASHBOARDS AS THEIR CARS DID THE SAME AS I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN REGULARLY BUT BOTH OF US HAVE A HAND ON THE GEAR SHIFT ALOT OF THE TIME.

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AT VARIOUS INTERVALS SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2012 . MY FUSION WOULD STALL AN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I LEFT FROM A STOP SIGN OR A TRAFFIC LIGHT , THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE TEN MILES PER HOUR AN THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WOULD HAVE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AN CUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTART IT. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT HAD FLOODED AN LURCH AN JERK , WHEN BEFORE I WOULD HAVE IT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AN I TOLD THEM ABOUT MY INCIDENTS OF THE SAME TYPE EACH TIME. THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM UNTIL ON JUNE 30,2012 WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME AN I DROVE THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THEY TOLD ME I MUST HAVE BEEN USING SOME DIRTY FUEL SINCE THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY LOOKED BLACK INSIDE OF FUEL. I HAD USED EXCLUSIVELY 93 OCTANE FUEL INTO MY VEHICLE. I HAD PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM PRESTON FORD IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME WHEN I FIRST TOOK THE VEHICLE THERE WITH THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEM, THEY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT WAS THEN THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THAT PART. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE FAULTY PART WITH A TOTAL BILL OF $593.00, ALONG WITH OTHER ITEMS I HAD FOR THIS SERVICE VISIT. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THIS WORK WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE. THEY DID NOT TELL THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM THAT WAS KNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP, BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS TO TELL ME THAT I HAD ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE WITHIN THIS BULLETIN. *TR

THE FIRST INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING AS NORMAL IN MY VEHICLE AND WITH OUT WARNING GOING 50 MPH MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO POWER OR ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING BESIDES TO TRY AND COAST OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF HARM. A WRENCH LIGHT FLASHES WHEN IT OCCURS. THE SECOND TIME I WAS MAKING A TURN AT APPROX 20 MPH IN A FOUR WAY LIGHT INTERSECTION AND LOST POWER OVER THE CAR AGAIN WITH A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARING AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO GAIN POWER AGAIN IS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURN IT OFF AND WAIT A BIT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN YOU RESTART THE CAR THE WRENCH LIGHT IS GONE AND THE CAR ACTS LIKE THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM AND RUNS SMOOTHLY. AFTER A 2 DAY DIAGNOSIS BY FORD THEY STATE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. IN TOTAL I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 5 TIMES WITH OUT ANY WARNING GOING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND LUCKLY AVOIDING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. LIKE MENTIONED ABOVE AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE WRENCH LIGHT DISAPPEARS PERFORMING AS USUAL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE, THE FUEL SEEMED TO SUDDENLY CUT OFF. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT IDLE AND THE CAR ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. THIS WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND NEEDED TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER IN A HURRY. AFTER TURNING ON THE FLASHERS AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, MY WIFE REMINDED ME OF THIS INCIDENT OCCURRING TWICE BEFORE TO HER RECENTLY BUT ON LOCAL ROADS. WE HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FORD AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO I STARTED THE ENGINE AND PROCEEDED TO MOVE THE CAR AND REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOW RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL. I DROVE HOME AND BROUGHT THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALER.THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH COSTS US $497.79. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY FORD'S EMISSION WARRANTY (5 YR/ 50,000 MI). I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN EASILY LEAD TO INJURIES AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES UNLESS IT IS IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH AND WOULD NOT PULL UP A SHALLOW GRADE HILL ABOUT 1 MILE FROM THE HOUSE. CAR WAS STARTED "COLD". WIFE PULLED OFF ROAD AND ENGINE DIED. "WRENCH" SYMBOL CAME ON DASH. I ARRIVED ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER AND STARTED CAR TO MOVE IT FURTHER OFF THE ROAD. IT RAN SO I TOOK IT BACK HOME, NO APPARENT ISSUE. CALLED DEALER AND GOT IT IN THE NEXT DAY. DEALER IS ABOUT 2.5MILES FROM MY HOME. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND WE DROVE IT HOME. DID NOT DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK. SECOND INCIDENT: WIFE AT A BUSY CONTROLLED INTERSECTION. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN. CALLED ME AFTER GETTING CAR STARTED AND MOVED TO A SAFE LOCATION ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM INTERSECTION. "WRENCH" AND "BATTERY" LIGHTS CAME ON DASH. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WITH NO APPARENT PROBLEM. DEALER INFORMED ME THE COMPUTER CODED A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THROTTLE BODY CHANGED.

LOSING POWER AND/OR SPEED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TRAFFIC COULD PROVE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE VALVE WAS STICKING AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE ADDITIVES THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MANDATES, BUT NOW I AM HEARING THAT IT IS PROBABLY FROM A DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARD.

CLEANING OF THE FUEL INTAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY WAS AROUND $700.

THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON STEADY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. HEADLIGHTS STAYED STILL ON AND HAZARD LIGHTS WORKED. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCED NO MOVEMENT OF THE CAR NOR ANY INCREASE IN ENGINE SOUND. AFTER TRYING TO START IT SEVERAL TIMES, IT SEEMED LIKE IT STARTED BUT NOT A NORMAL START. THE ENGINE APPEARED TO BE VERY ROUGH BUT AGAIN, NO FAST ENGINE SOUND. IT KIND OF LIMPED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHICH WAS ON A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE. NO PRESSING OF THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCED ANY SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AS IT LIMPED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT MAYBE 2 MILES PER HOUR. ONCE I GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC, I DID TURN IT OFF. I GAVE IT ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND IT STARTED NORMALLY. NO MORE WRENCH LIGHT. IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE AFTER THAT. I DROVE HOME ? ABOUT 90 MILES WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE DEALER HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE. WHEN I CALLED THE FORD DEALER EXPLAINING THE SYMPTOMS, THE SERVICE COORDINATOR?S FIRST QUESTION WAS, ?IS IT A FUSION?? HE ALREADY KNEW IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FUSIONS. HE SAID THAT I AM NOT GOING TO LIKE WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. HE SAID THAT FORD WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO DO THE 30-MINUTE REPAIR UNLESS A CODE IS AVAILABLE IN THE OBD UNIT. I BROUGHT IT IN AND NO CODE WAS FOUND. THEY TRIED FOR TWO DAYS TO GET IT TO CODE. THE SERVICE MANAGER PLEADED WITH FORD?S UPPER LEVEL TO ALLOW THE REPAIR BUT THEY WERE INFLEXIBLE. THEIR RESPONSE ? ?NO CODE, NO REPAIR.? FORD?S CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER WAS USELESS! THEY OFFERED NO HELP. THE LOCAL DEALER HAD SIX CARS THE WEEK AFTER MY CAR DIED WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS MINE. I WAS PLACED BACK ON THE ROAD WITH FORD KNOWING I WOULD AGAIN BE STRANDED.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLS, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON DASH BOARD, NO POWER TO ENGINE WHATSOEVER. PULLED THE CAR OVER ONTO SHOULDER, ENGINE IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT THIS POINT, SHUT THE CAR OFF. WAITED APPROX. FIVE MINUTES, TURN CAR BACK ON, NO PROBLEM. NO MORE WRENCH LIGHT, NO LONGER STALLS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAD A BAD O2 SENSOR. SO THEY REPLACE IT AND SAY THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF I TOLD THEM TO LOOK AT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE HAD POSTED ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS TO BLAME. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY CHECKED THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS FINE.' HA!! HOWEVER APPROXIMATELY 1-2 WEEKS GO BY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD EVERYTHING IS FINE AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STALLS, NO POWER TO ENGINE, SHAKING, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS 3 TIMES IN A SPAN OF ABOUT 7 MILES. I BRING THE CAR BACK TO FORD AND TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CALL ME BACK A FEW HOURS LATER AND SAY YEAH YOU'VE GOT A BAD THROTTLE BODY (BUT IT WAS "FINE" TWO WEEKS AGO?) THEY THEN PROCEED TO TELL ME THAT IT WILL COST APPROX. $465 AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND THEY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF THESE 2010 FUSIONS WITH FAULTY THROTTLE BODY PARTS AND THAT IF I HAD IT REPLACED IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A DIFFERENT DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED VERSION. YET I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE RPMS DROPPED TO BELOW 1000. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER WHERE THE CAR SHOOK AND DIED OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED. THE ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OUT. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, THE CAR STALLED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT 45 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. THEY REPLACED THE PARTS AT A COST OF $438.64. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF OTHER FORDS OF THE SAME AGE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 21,850

AT APPROX. 52K WHILE DRIVE APPROX. 40MPH, ALL FUEL POWER WAS LOST AND 'WRENCH' LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, CAR SPUTTERING. PUT IN PARK AND KILLED THE ENGINE. WAITED A MINUTE, CAR STARTED WITH SOME HESITATION. RAN DIAGNOSTIC, NOTHING. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, RAN SOME B-12 THROUGH FUEL; CURED. TWICE AGAIN AT APPROX. 56K, SAME THING (ONCE AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE OTHER AT 55MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY); RAN B-12 BOTH TIMES. ON THIRD EVENT, IT FINALLY GAVE A READING - THROTTLE BODY STUCK IN OPEN POSITION. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY GOT THE SAME READING AND CHANGED THE THROTTLE BODY TO THE TUNE OF $350. FORD STATED THERE WAS NO TECHNICAL SERVICE MANUAL INDICATION OF PROBLEM FORCING A POSSIBLE RECALL. HOW LUCKY FOR ME AND MY KIDS THAT WE WEREN'T IN A HIGH-TRAFFIC SITUATION AND I COULD SAFELY MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER...ALL THREE TIMES! *TR

Mileage: 52,000

WE WERE DRIVING AROUND 50 MPH WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND WE SLOWED DOWN TO 5 MPH.THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOBODY ON THE ROAD BEHIND US OR WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR DEALER THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING. THEY REPLACED IT BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY (I WAS TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NO WARRANTY COVERS THAT PART). HOW CONVENIENT THAT THEY SPECIFICALLY DON'T COVER A PART THAT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE HAS DIED FROM THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE TWO TEENAGE SONS WHO DRIVE THAT CAR AND I DON'T TRUST IT ANYMORE. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AND ELSEWHERE, I DEMAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE DONE INTO THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN ARROW MY ACCELERATOR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE, ENGINE DID NOT STOP RUNNING BUT WOULD ONLY COAST @ ABOUT 2 MPH, WRENCH LIGHT ICON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS JERKING DURING THIS SLOW COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND COMPLETELY SHUT IT OFF.(AS I WAS HITTING MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND PRAYING I DIDN'T GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE LIGHT HAD CHANGED BY THIS TIME.) AFTER A ROUGH RESTART, IT APPEARED TO RUN FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HAD MY FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED, BUT AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND FINDING MANY OWNERS OF THE FORD FUSION HAVE HAD THIS RECURRING PROBLEM, SEEMINGLY WITH THEIR THROTTLE BODY, I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WITH NO WARNING BEFOREHAND AND AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I DID NOTIFY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO CUSTOMER SERVICE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I INFORMED THEM OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE "OFFICIAL FORD WEBSITES". I PRAY THAT FORD WILL ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED TO STALLED AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATED. THE CAR JUST STARTED SHAKING AND FINALLY STOP RUNNING WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF COMPLETELY AND TRIED TO STARTED IT AGAIN, BUT THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND KEPT ON SHAKING AGAIN. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER, BUT I AM ASKING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE FORD FUSION PROBLEMS WITH THEIR "THROTTLE BODY" THAT HAS MULTIPLE TROUBLES REPORTS FROM FORD FUSION OWNERS. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT ALLOW VEHICLES THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS WHEN THE VEHICLES START STALLING ON THE ROAD AND ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE DEMAND FORD RECALL THEIR FUSION TO REPLACE THE "THROTTLE BODY" STALLING PROBLEMS AND REIMBURSEMENT THE OWNERS FOR THEIR COST ASAP. *TR

Mileage: 38,441

THE 2010 FORD FUSION WILL, AT RANDOM, LOSE POWER. ACCELERATOR IS NON RESPONSIVE AND THE THROTTLE BODY/TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. IT BEGINS TO IDLE ROUGH AT APPROX. 1000RPM AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER 1 YEAR AND THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, AS WELL AS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS AND LITERALLY FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER AS SOON AS I'VE PICKED IT UP FROM THEM ITS DONE IT WITHIN SEVERAL MILES, ONLY FOR ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THEM AND GET THE SAME RESPONSE A WEEK OR TWO LATER. FORD NEEDS TO SOLVE THIS HUGE PROBLEM BY ISSUING A RECALL AND THEY NEEDED TO DO IT LAST YEAR. I'VE LITERALLY SEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN FORUMS WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM, YET NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE ONLY THING THAT WILL OPEN FORD'S EYES WILL BE A SERIOUS TRAGEDY TO OCCUR. ISN'T THE POINT OF A RECALL TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING? *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND THE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THREE LANES SO IT PROVED DIFFICULT TO GET TO THE RIGHT BREAK DOWN LANE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND AFTER ABOUT TEN SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND RETURN TO THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT A HALF A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE AGAIN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN THAT DAY. I HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT LATER THAT AFTERNOON AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE CAR WAS 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOT FEEL THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST IN DECEMBER AND EACH TIME I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO DONE. *TR

Mileage: 63,297

MY CAR IS A FORD FUSION BOUGHT IN MARCH 2010 WITH ONLY 33,400 MILES, STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY. I WAS DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC, GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, WHEN MY ACCELERATOR STOP WORKING. THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT SAFETY, THANK GOODNESS. WHEN I STARTED TO HIT MY BRAKES TO STOP, THE CAR JERKED A BIT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO STOP. I STOPPED, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND IT STARTED BACK UP OK. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH. I THEN PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN AND NOT EVEN 5 MINS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I COASTED INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN 5 MORE TIMES BEFORE MAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO A DIRTY THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT NEEDED CLEANING. I SPENT $250 TO CLEAN IT BECAUSE CLEANING IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75MPH WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENED AGAIN, THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART MY CAR. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SOME HOTLINE AND WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ALTOGETHER. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE BUT I WISH I HAD KNOWN THIS EARLIER. I WAS TERRIFIED OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND WISH FORD WOULD HAVE RECALLED IT BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I PRAY THAT NO ONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS SIMPLE PART THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED ON ALL FUSIONS. *TR

FIRST EVENT WAS WHILE EXITING A MALL PARKING LOT; STEPPED ON GAS PEDAL, AND INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING THE CAR SEEMED JUST ABOUT TO STALL. I GOT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE NOTICED THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR, NOTING THE "WRENCH" WAS NO LONGER ON, PUT IT IN GEAR AND DROVE OFF. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL 12/28/12, WHEN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX 70MPH ON I-90 THE ENGINE BEGAN TO AGAIN DOWN SHIFT AND LOSE POWER. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS THE MORNING OF 12/29/12; IN EACH ABOVE INCIDENT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE TRAFFIC WAY, PARK, SHUT OFF THE CAR, RESTART IT AND DRIVE AWAY. THE WRENCH WAS ILLUMINATED EACH TIME. ON 01/03/13 MY CAR WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER FROM WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY HAD ONE IN STOCK AND REPLACED IT. KUDOS TO THEM, BUT, MORE THAN A LITTLE UNNERVING. AND IF IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME STYLE UNIT, HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, PERHAPS AT A MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME? AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS I DON'T HAVE THE VIN AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, FWIW, THE BUILD DATE IS JUNE 2010. IT IS THE SEL AWD WITH THE V-6 ENGINE, 3.0L I BELIEVE. *TR

FORD FUSION 2012 3.0L V6 SEL GOES INTO "LIMP-MODE" WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A SLIGHT SHUDDER IMMEDIATELY BEFORE TRIPPING THE "LIMP-MODE" WHERE THE ACCELERATOR BECOMES DISABLED. NO OR MINIMAL POWER IS AVAILABLE TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC SAFELY. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. ONCE THE CAR TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE CAR RUNS NORMALLY UNTIL THE SYMPTOM HAPPENS AGAIN. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENT PRIOR TO GOING INTO "LIMP-MODE". BROUGHT THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY SAVED ENGINE CODES AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. NO WORK WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM DUE TO NO EVIDENCE OF IT IN THE COMPUTER. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND CREATES A HAZARDOUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED A PUDDLE OF LIQUID NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A HAIRLINE FRACTURE ON THE FUEL TANK, WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH THAT WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPAIRED. THE FIRST TIME, THERE WERE ERROR CODES THAT COULD BE USED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT IN LESS THAN A MONTH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THIS TIME THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY HAS TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND ALL PROPULSION SYSTEMS DID NOT WORK. THE BRAKES WORKED FINE BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM 2X AND COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND JUST ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY, MY SPEED AROUND 65 MPH. THE CAR STARTING STALLING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL. I MANAGE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER AFTER CROSSING 4 LANES. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STALLED OUT. I RESTARTED THE CAR; IT TOOK A FEW EXTRA SECONDS THAN USUAL. THE CAR DROVE FINE TO WORK. IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I LEFT WORK AT AN INTERSECTION (PRETTY SCARY) 35MPH. I PULLED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND PUT CAR IN PARK, SHUT DOWN SPUTTERING ENGINE. I RESTARTED AND MADE IT HOME THROUGH RUSH HOUR. THE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY MORNING, I PULLED OUT OF MY GARAGE THE STALLING STARTED WITHIN 20 YARDS FROM GARAGE AT 5MPH. THEN AGAIN WHEN I GOT OFF WORK BUT THIS TIME IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES; ONCE AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. STALLED 3 TIMES ON FREEWAY, I MANAGE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY ON NEXT OFF RAMP AFTER 3 RESTARTS. THE CAR KEPT STALLING OVER AND OVER NO RESPONSE FROM GAS PEDAL EVERY FEW FEET I HAD TO RESTART. THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT HOME. I DIDN'T TRUST MY CAR FOR SAFE DRIVING. I MANAGED TO GET MY FORD FUSION TO A FORD DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY. THE FORD PERSONNEL SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF FORD FUSIONS STALLING. THEY PUNCHED IN MY VIN IN THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NO RECALLS. SINCE IT?S A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, CAR WON?T BE LOOKED AT UNTIL TUESDAY. NO LOANERS CARS AVAILABLE FROM FORD, I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE TIME BEING. I GOGGLED 2010 FORD FUSION STALLING AND IT POPPED UP RIGHT AWAY. I FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUIT AWHILE TO FORD FUSIONS. MANY OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS ARE DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY 2010 FORD FUSION. I?M SURPRISED FORD HAS NOT COME OUT WITH ANY RECALLS. SOMEONE CAN GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED IN TRAFFIC IF THIS DISCREPANCY ISN'T ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE: FIST OCCURRENCE- DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER. PRESSING ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE CAR STARTING SHAKING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS PASSING IN THE FAST LANE, THEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AGAIN, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SAME SCENARIO AS THE FIRST. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND NO ERROR CODES REGISTER. HE CHECKED TWICE. SO FOR A WEEK AND A HALF THE CAR WAS FINE. THEN HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN, NO WARNING, JUST LOST POWER. THIS TIME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HAD IT TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP AND A CODE DID REGISTER THIS TIME. HAD IT TAKEN FOR FORD AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS AS THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT PART OF THE HIGHWAY IS 75 SO CARS WERE COMING UP FAST BEHIND ME. IF I HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES OCCURRED THE FIST OR SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE SEEMED MY FAULT AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO ERROR CODES TO AT LEAST VALIDATE WHAT HAPPENED. PLEASE, PLEASE, ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. NOT TO MENTION THE PEOPLE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY THAT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

ENGINE SHUT DOWN TO VERY SLOW IDLE WHEN STARTING FROM INTERSECTION. BARELY ABLE TO GET VEHICLE OUT OF ROAD. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES,EACH TIME WHEN MOVING THRU INTERSECTION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS. AFTER ENGINE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF A FEW MINUTES IT RUNS OK. IT HAPPENED TWICE ON THE FIRST OCCASION THEN RAN GOOD FOR 5 DAYS WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN,THEN RAN GOOD FOR 6 DAYS WHEN SHUT DOWN ONCE MORE .I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO LOTS OF OTHER FUSION OWNERS. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS CRASHED INTO BECAUSE OF THIS STALLING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE THROTTE BODY NEEDS REPLACING.

ON FREEWAY GOING 65MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL IN PAUSE MODE. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE I HEARD A NOISE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON & I LOST ALL POWER ALTHOUGH THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO IDLE AT VERY LOW RPM. AFTER BEING TOWED, THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND SEEMED FINE. TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY FOUND NO CODES COMING UP. 3 WEEKS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. FORD AGAIN SAID NO CODES. I READ ALL OF THE REPORTS ABOUT THE BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS PEOPLE WERE HAVING, I TOLD THE DEALER TO REPLACE IT EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT. THE DEALER INSISTED HE HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I GAVE HIM 11 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM THE NHTSA WEBSITE. FORD DID NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY IN TIME BEFORE GETTING HIT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

DRIVING ALONG. CAR SUDDENLY SEEMED TO LOOSE POWER. I SEEMED TO KICK OUT OF GEAR AND STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO COST TO A STOP. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, BUT AFTER I CUT THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS OFF AND ALL WORKED FINE. THIS HAPPENED 1 TIME THE FIRST DAY AND TWICE THE NEXT. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED FOR 3 MORE DAYS BUT ON THE FOURTH DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. EACH TIME I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. ONE TIME I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SINCE THE COAST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE ON A VERY DARK ROAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN I REALIZED, THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T WORKING. THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION THEN THE CAR STARTING KNOCKING LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS SO I COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 5 MINS AND TRIED TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED UP FINE AND DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER, I WAS TURNING AT A LIGHT AND IT THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A MEDIAN FOR TURN LANES THAT I COATED IN TO. OTHERWISE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO FORD, THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT FORD HAD CHANGED MANUFACTURERS. THIS MADE ME WONDER WHY WAS THE PART ON BACK ORDER - IT SEEMED LIKE SUCH AN ODD THING TO HAPPEN ON A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND WHY WOULD FORD HAVE CHANGED MANUFACTURERS. I GOOGLED MY YEAR AND MODEL AND DISCUSSED THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. MY SON STARTED DRIVING A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND THANK GOODNESS THIS HAPPENED WITH ME IN THE CAR AND NOT AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. WITH THE CAR SUDDENLY DYING AND NO GAS, THIS PRESENTS WITH A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION DEPENDING ON THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC YOU MAY BE IN. I THINK FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND MAKE REPAIRS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (10-35 MPH) THE CAR QUICKLY GAINS SPEED (THE RPM DOES NOT INCREASE) AND THEN SLOWS DOWN AGAIN AND IT FEELS LIKE THE GEARS SHIFT DOWN ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE. THE GAS PEDAL STOPS WORKING AND A WRENCH SHOWS ON THE DASH BOARD, THE CAR SLOWLY DECREASES IN SPEED. AS I COME TO A STOP THE CAR JUMPS AND LURCHES VIOLENTLY. I TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THE WRENCH GOES AWAY HOWEVER AFTER THIS HAPPENS 5 MORE TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I READ IN THE FORUM PEOPLE DESCRIBING ISSUES SIMILAR AND EXACTLY THAT SAME AS MINE AND IT SEEMED AS THOU IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. COULD NOT AFFORD THE PART SO I WAITED AND IT WENT AWAY. THIS STOPPED FOR ROUGHLY 5 MONTHS AND THEN STARTS AGAIN (OCT 2012). NOW IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS! I SPOKE TO A MECHANIC AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT HE IS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES SIMILAR TO MINE.....I FIND IT A LITTLE HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN MY AREA WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SUGGESTED HE LOOK AT THE FORUM. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE POWERS THAT BE AT FORD HAVE NO CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, THEIR REPUTATION AND REFUSE TO STAND BEHIND A PRODUCT THAT REPORTEDLY WON SAFETY AWARDS. VERY UNFORTUNATE. I HOPE THE THOUSANDS OF POSTINGS ON THE MULTITUDE OF FORUMS REACHES SOMEONE AT FORD (BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED) WHO HAS A CONSCIENCE AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN BUYING AMERICAN. THIS IGNORED, DANGEROUS ISSUE AND THE FORD ATTITUDE OF NOT CARING WILL MAKE ANYONE NEVER PURCHASE A FORD PRODUCT AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED 3 DIFFERENT MODELS AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH ALL 3. *TR

THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A BAD THROTTLE BODY, AND CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $700.00 TO REPLACE THE PART AND PERFORM A RECOMMENDED FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING. REPEATED EMAIL TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE RESULTED IN A DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDER NO WARRANTY OR RECALL OBLIGATION.

IT WAS THEN THAT THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I WAITED FOR A 5 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED ROUGHLY BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AND COULD/WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT BOTH THE WRENCH AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AGAIN I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED. AFTER ANOTHER 10-15 MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN. THIS TIME IT STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON.

I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 19000 MILES. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A MONTH YET. IT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY, I STOPPED IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELERATED. DURING ACCELERATION, THE CAR JERKED THEN LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM AND "PUTTERED". I WAS ABLE TO "PUTTER" TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC. I PUT IT IN PARK AND NOTICED THAT THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT UP, SO I PULLED OUT THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO SEE WHAT IT MEANT...POWERTRAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED IT WITH NO OTHER INCIDENTS ON MY WAY HOME. THANK GOD I WASN'T IN ANY HEAVIER TRAFFIC OR MULTIPLE LANES! FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING, SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOST ACCELERATION GOING 50+ MPH IN INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY TRAFFIC!

I HAVE A 2010 FUSION. I PURCHASED THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. THE CAR STALLED 6 TIMES ON THE WAY HOME LAST NIGHT. THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SPUTTER. I WOULD SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART AND COULD PROCEED FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. THE LAST TIME IT STALL ON THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. I TOOK IT IN AND LET THE DEALER KNOW WHAT HAD OCCURRED AND THEY CALLED BACK INDICATING IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. I AM OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. THE COST IS $500. THE POWER TRAIN SYSTEM IS COVERED BUT THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT (EVEN THOUGH THE THROTTLE BODY CAUSES THE POWER TRAIN TO GO INTO STALL)?

I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN MY CAR SHUDDERED AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO DIE. I HAD A ERROR SYMBOL FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE HAD NO MORE POWER. IT WAS STUCK IN IDLE NOW EVEN THOUGH I WAS JUST DOING 35 MILES PER HOUR COMING TO A STOP. AS I FINALLY BRAKED TO A STOP THE ENGINE WAS SURGING, BUT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE ENGINE, IT WAS AS IF IT WAS JUST TURNED ON AND PLACED IN DRIVE ONLY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I HAD TO GET THROUGH 2 INTERSECTIONS ON IDLE SPEED ONLY. I FINALLY PULLED OVER PAST THE INTERSECTIONS AND TURNED MY CAR COMPLETELY OFF. I THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS WORKING NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AFTER A NEW BATTERY IS PLACED IN THESE FUSIONS. THEY NOTICED MY RECENTLY PURCHASED USED CAR (PURCHASED ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THIS) HAD A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT. THEY TOLD ME WITH A NEW BATTERY, THE CARBON BUILDS UP DRAMATICALLY AND DAMAGES THE THROTTLE BODY. SO I NEED TO BUY A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND HAVE THE CARS ACCELERATION COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED.

MY 22 YEAR OLD SON AND I HAD MADE A ROUNDTRIP FROM TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA TO THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA. APPROXIMATELY ONE AND A HALF OR SO MILES FROM MY HOUSE, THE RPMS ON THE CAR BEGAN WAVING WILDLY, THE CAR JERKED SLIGHTLY, AND CAME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP ON THE ROAD, WITH A TRUCK TRAVELING RIGHT BEHIND ME. I PRESSED MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOORBOARD, BUT THE CAR SLOWED TO A CRAWL. THE TRUCK BEHIND ME PASSED. I MANAGED TO KEEP THE CAR GOING TO MY HOUSE; WE COULD HAVE WALKED THERE FASTER. AGAIN, THIS WAS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I HAD 55, 187.1 MILES ON MY CAR, WHICH I BOUGHT IN APRIL, 2010, NEW. I RESEARCHED THIS (IT WAS LABOR DAY WEEKEND AND I HAD NO TRANSPORTATION TO SPEAK OF!). I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP; THEY CLOSED ON SATURDAY AT 2:00 P.M. THEY TOWED MY CAR IN ON TUESDAY MORNING. I TOLD THEM I SUSPECTED A THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BASED ON WHAT I SAW RE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I REPORTED THIS TO THE NATIONAL FORD WEBSITE. THEY TOOK MY COMPLAINT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY THAT MY THROTTLE HAD FAILED, AND FORD WOULD NOT ASSIST IN ANY PAYMENT FOR REPLACEMENT. I ADVISED THEM I WAS A LAWYER, AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT A PRODUCTS LIABILITY DESIGN DEFECT OR TORT LAWSUIT (IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED WHEN THE CAR DIES ON THE HIGHWAY). FORD COULD CARE LESS. I HAD TO PAY $394 FOR THE LABOR AND PART. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR CARS. THIS WAS MY 3RD FORD. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE MONEY I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT; IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, BUT FORD IS ENGAGED IN A BEANCOUNTING EXERCISE AT THIS POINT. REMEMBER THE PINTO? *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION IN JUNE AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER, IT DECELERATED AND THE WRENCH LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER STARTED THE CAR UP AND IT WAS FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, I WAS 2 BLOCKS FROM MY HOME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY HAPPEN. THE TIME BETWEEN INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING CAN BE MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS OR WEEKS APART. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS AMAZED AND APPALLED THAT SUCH A COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. I DID PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE CAUSING THIS ISSUE, WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY. SO UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED, I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. *TR

LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL. WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR ENTERED EMERGENCY MODE AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED. DIED 2 MORE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CODES ON CAR FROM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READ P2111 AND P2112. DEALER COMPLETED A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2012. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. DEALER WAS AWESOME WITH THE REPAIR AND HELP WITH SITUATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE CAR STALLED. ALL POWER WENT OFF BUT THE ELECTRICITY STAYED ON. I ROLLED TO THE SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER 2-3 TRIES. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE SAME DAY. FORD REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION AND GAVE ME A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR RAN ROUGHLY THE OTHER DAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT DIDN'T STALL. *TR

ON 8/19/12, WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-96 IN THE LEFT LANE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I COULD BARELY DRIVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE MOTOR SPUTTERED AND SEEMINGLY TRY TO DIE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, CALLED FOR HELP, WHEN HELP ARRIVED, THE TECHNICIAN ASKED ME TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED. MY WIFE AND I WERE ABLE TO GET HOME. ON 8/20/12, I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER TO GET THE MATTER CHECKED AS WELL AS GET AN OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER "SCOPED" THE COMPUTER AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS EVENING, 8/20/12, I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THERE WAS A LURCH AND I LOST POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WAITED A FEW SECONDS, AND TURNED ON THE MOTOR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I'VE CHECKED A WEBSITE THAT INDICATES THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS I EXPERIENCED. I WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK AGAIN BUT BASED UPON WHAT I READ ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS, I DOUBT IF THE DEALER WILL FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND LOSING TOTAL POWER. HAD WE NOT BEEN DRIVING ON A SUNDAY WHEN TRAFFIC WAS RELATIVELY LIGHT, WE WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO RESTART IT TO DRIVE AGAIN. CAR DOES IT AT RANDOM. ITS MY ONLY CAR AND ITS MY LIFE LINE WITH OUT IT I CANT GET TO WORK. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45MPH AND THE CAR STARTS VIBRATING. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE GAS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE THE CAR LOST MOMENTUM AND STALLED OUT. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. HAD NO WARNING AT ALL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT TURNED OVER BUT AFTER IT STRUGGLED TO. THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN WENT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES! EACH WITH NO WARNING! I HAVE LOOKED ON A NUMBER OF SITED THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NEAR CRASH CASES AND ALL WITH NO WARNING. I LOVE HOW THIS WEBSITE SAYS "YOUR COMPLAINT INFORMATION WILL BE ENTERED INTO NHTSA-ODI'S VEHICLE OWNER'S COMPLAINT DATABASE AND USED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS TO DETERMINE IF A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT TREND EXISTS" AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND AN OBVIOUS FAULTY PART YOU STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A TREND? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! TODAY I JUST MISSED GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR DECIDED TO LOSE ACCELERATION AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING OUT TO MAKE A TURN ACROSS 4 LANES. THE LANES WERE CLEAR TO GO BUT ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE PERSON SAW MY FLASHERS AND HAD THE ROOM TO MOVE OVER AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. APPARENTLY FORD WANTS A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS BECAUSE AS SOON AS SOMEONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT(IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY) YOU BETTER BET THEY'LL GO AFTER FORD. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS APPARENT THAT FORD HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND STILL WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACT SOMETHING IS WRONG. YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT IF I GET HIT BECAUSE THERE PRODUCT WAS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART I'LL BE FRONT AND CENTER WITH MY LAWYER AND A NEWS CREW. *TR

THE ENGINE WAS IDLING VERY ERRATICALLY AND SHAKING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR, IT RESTARTED OK AND DROVE. IT SUDDENLY DID THE SAME THING 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THE OBD2 CODE WAS P2111, THE DRIVE BY WIRE THROTTLE BODIES ON THESE CARS ARE FAULTY. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HAD NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AFTER PUSHING THE GAS. LATER THAT AFTERNOON, WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY BUT STILL HESITATED TO GO WHEN THE GAS WAS PRESSED. I GOT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD - "A COMMON THING ON THESE CARS". FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY, CLAIMING THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN - THOUGH ADMITTING THAT THE CAR WILL NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE PART. *TR

I HAD JUST SCHEDULE TO DO MY 75K MAINTENANCE ON 7/27/12, WHICH I DID. THE DAY BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN HOME FROM WORK AND MY CAR GOES INTO LOW RPM'S, AND THE THROTTLE STOPS WORKING BUT THE CAR IS STILL ON! I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY HAZARDS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HOPING I CAN FIND A SHOULDER IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. AN 18 WHEELER NEARLY KNOCKED ME OFF A BRIDGE WHEN I WAS DRIFTING TO SAFETY AT 15MPH. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AS THE CAR IDLES AT 700 RPM'S. I START IT UP AGAIN AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE.

THE NEXT DAY THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I READ THE CODE AND IT WAS P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK SHUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE APPARENTLY SOME KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY.

I HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BC I HAD NOT TOUCHED MY BRAKE YET. I PULLED OVER AND MY CAR DID RESTART BUT I DID NOT MAKE IT FAR BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I TOOK GOT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 40,000 MILES I GOT IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT AND IT'S NOT COVERED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. LET ME DRIVE OFF THE LOT. THEY ALSO WANTED 250 MORE TO REPAIR IT. LOOKING ONLINE I'M FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE. FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE DOES IN AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD MYSELF AND FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. PLEASE EVERYONE MUST DO THE SAME THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

ON 7/22/2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 HOURS MY FAMILY WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON GEORGIA STATE ROUTE 3 - US HWY. 41 IN ROCKY FACE, GEORGIA WHEN OUR VEHICLE (2010 FORD FUSION AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) SUDDENLY WITHOUT NOTICE WENT FROM A SOLID CRUISING SPEED OF 40MPH TO AN ABRUPT HALT - NOSE OF THE CAR ACTUALLY WENT FORWARD TOWARDS THE GROUND SO ABRUPTLY THAT IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE STALLED (STILL BARELY RUNNING) IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL AND WOULD NOT GET ANY THROTTLE ACCELERATION. MY FAMILY AND VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ON COMING MOTORISTS FROM THE REAR DUE TO THE ABRUPT STOPPING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY GET ANY THROTTLE ACCELERATION. AFTER THE GEORGIA STATE PATROL TROOPER CAME TO ASSIST THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 25 MPH WITHOUT SUDDENLY STALLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH AN ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE ABANDONED AT THE DALTON GEORGIA STATE PATROL POST DUE TO THIS ISSUE UNTIL FORD COULD SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED. THE LOCAL DEALER ON 7/23/12 INFORMED US THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND THAT THE "THROTTLE BODY" WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. UPON FURTHER ONLINE INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND REPORTED SINCE 2010 & HAS CAUSED VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR MOTORISTS SUCH AS IT DID WITH MY FAMILY. I AM ASKING YOU ALL TO LOOK INTO RECALLING THE "THROTTLE BODY" ON THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND THEY ARE BLATANTLY PASSING THE BLAME OFF ONTO THE CONSUMER AND SOMEONE (IF NOT MY OWN FAMILY) IS GOING TO GET HURT. IT IS UNSAFE FOR A LATE MODEL VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN SERVICED AS REQUIRED BY THE MANUFACTURE EVERY 3-5 MONTHS TO HAVE THESE ABRUPT ISSUES AND BREAK MY FAMILY DOWN IN THE ROADWAY OF TRAVEL ON A MAJOR US HIGHWAY. NHTSA PLEASE HAVE FORD CORRECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED!! *TR

DRIVING UP TO A RED LIGHT THAT HAD JUST TURNED GREEN, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION, IT BEGAN TO JERK, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND MY GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A MINUTE OR SO AND RECRANKED IT. IT SHOOK/SPUTTERED A LITTLE BIT, BUT EVENTUALLY CRANKED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF. CONTINUED DRIVING AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 50 MPH. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO A PARKING LOT, KILL THE CAR, AND RECRANK AS BEFORE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULDN'T GET AN ERROR CODE READING OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD TO COME BACK WITH WRENCH LIGHT ON (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T GO WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON). I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR 3 MORE TIMES, HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, AND MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY TRY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I'VE READ A RIDICULOUS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE FROM OTHER 2010 FORD FUSION OWNERS. THE PROBLEM IS A BAD THROTTLE BODY, AND IT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. I'VE BEEN DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY SINCE IT FIRST OCCURRED BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN'T RELY ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ALWAYS RESPOND, BUT FOR SOMEONE TO WHOM IT HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME WHO ATTEMPTS TO CROSS TRAFFIC AND THEN FINDS HIMSELF A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT IS GOING TO SPELL TRAGEDY. PLEASE HOLD FORD RESPONSIBLE! *TR

WITH NO WARNING OR OTHER SIGNS, THE CAR STALLED OUT. DRIVING ON A FLAT /STRAIGHT ROAD. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITHOUT ISSUE. 3HRS LATER THE SAME ISSUE.

RETURNED CAR TO DEALER. DIAG CODE WAS P2112. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. CAR SEEMS TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY NOW.

I ACCELERATED AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT AND AS I SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR THE CAR JERKED AND I HAD NO POWER AT ALL THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT WHEN I PUT MY FOOT INTO THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO A WRENCH WAS DISPLAYED IN THE WARNING LIGHT AREA OF THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I SEE THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF 2010 FUSION OWNERS WITH SIMILAR MILEAGE AND IT CAN BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET AT 40 MPH WHEN MY FUSION SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A LEFT TURN LANE. BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND TOOK BACK STREETS AT A REDUCED SPEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE REMAINING 3 MILES TO MY HOME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. APPARENTLY, THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE CONTROL. IT WAS REPLACED FOR A PRICE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN $500. THE REPLACEMENT COMES WITH A 12 MONTH, 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO VENT MY FRUSTRATION ON THIS EXPENSIVE MAINTENANCE ITEM. RESPONSE FROM FORD WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED SINCE MY CAR IS LESS THAN 4,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS EVENT DID NOT OCCUR ON A HIGHWAY AND I WAS CLOSE TO MY HOME. SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH FORD FUSIONS. THIS IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE PURCHASED AND WILL BE THE LAST FORD I WILL PURCHASE. IT SEEMS SHORTSIGHTED ON THE PART OF FORD TO IGNORE THE VALUE OF QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. I HAVE HAD MY FUSION IN EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, BUT I SEE NO POINT IN CONTINUING TO PAY A PREMIUM FOR SERVICE AT A DEALERSHIP WHEN I KNOW THAT FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO FIND SOME PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THEN RESTART THE ENGINE AND THEN IT WILL RUN GOOD. THE ISSUE HAPPENS SOMETIMES UP SIX TIMES IN ONE DAY, AND THEN YOU CAN GO A WEEK WITHOUT AN ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE WITH SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 70 MPH. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE IT WOULD APPEAR TO POSSIBLY BE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. APPARENTLY THIS THROTTLE BODY USES A SERVO TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE BUTTERFLY THAT ALLOWS AIR INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND IT LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND YOU CAN NOT FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART THE CAR. *TR

ON JUNE 19, 2012, DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING GAS PEDAL, AND IT SLOWS TO A STOP; EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO WORK FINE. TURNED CAR OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT WITH NO ISSUES. ON JULY 7, 2012, AGAIN DRIVING AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH, THE CAR STARTS TO JERK, THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T WORK, AND THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW, WHILE JERKING, AND A WRENCH/TOOL SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I MADE IT ABOUT 1 MILE (CLOSE TO HOME) AND THE CAR LOSES POWER IN THE SAME MANNER, JERKING AND SLOWING, GAS PEDAL DOESN'T WORK, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BOTH COME ON. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE ROAD INTO MY DRIVEWAY. FINAL INCIDENT WITH THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRED ON JULY 9, 2012. I CALLED FORD (CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY), AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. *TR

I AND MY CHILDREN WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND I ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD NOT GIVE THE CAR ANY GAS. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE GAS. SO I COASTED UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. AS I SLOWED DOWN, THE CAR SHUTTERED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN FINE FOR AWHILE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN (AS I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, TURNING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND ROUNDING A CURVE) UNTIL IT WAS HAPPENING 3-4 TIMES IN A TRIP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. IT RAN OK FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEN BECAME WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. SO NOW TIME WILL TELL. I WAS/AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THE 2010 FORD FUSION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS WELL TO NO AVAIL. *TR

THE FIRST TIME, THE CAR WAS PULLING ON TO A MAIN ROAD GOING UP TO 15 MPH WHILE TURNING RIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER, STALL (ONLY ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP), MANY WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDING THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND DINGED. AFTER SHUTTING THE KEY OFF AND WAITING UP TO A COUPLE OF MINUTES, ENGINE STARTED FINE AND DROVE NORMALLY. 1 MONTH LATER, THIS EXACT SCENARIO HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TURNING RIGHT FROM A COMPLETE STOP. 1 MONTH LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT WITH ONLY THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON (THE CAR WAS CURVING TO THE RIGHT AT ABOUT 40 MPH). 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD START UP, AND BE FINE UNTIL WE ACCELERATED. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR DID THE SAME THING A SECOND TIME. IT THEN DID IT A THIRD TIME AND WE WAITED TO START THE CAR. WE WERE THEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME NORMALLY WITH A CODE ALERT ON THE DASH.

DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A MULTI-LANE ROAD. THE LIGHT HAD JUST GONE YELLOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE HICUPPED HARD AND I HAD NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL, PLUS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (WRENCH ICON) CAME ON. PUT ON MY SIGNAL AND PULLED INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE AS IT WAS EMPTY. I DIDN'T WANT TO BLOCK THE LEFT LANE, IT WAS THE START OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I CAME TO A STOP AND HAD NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT IN RESPONSE TO STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TRIED TO RESTART IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND THE CAR STARTED AND ACTED NORMAL. I STOPPED AT THE STORE ON THE WAY HOME, THEN ON THE WAY FROM THE STORE TO HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IN ORDER FOR IT TO START AGAIN. WHEN I GOT HOME I PUT A CODE READER ON THE VEHICLE, BUT IT SHOWED NO CODE. IT DID IT AGAIN ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME AFTER WORK. EACH TIME I HAVE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO START AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE AROUND ME. I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO FORD FOR SERVICING AND THEY SAY NO RECALLS ARE IN PLACE FOR THIS. I ENTER THE SYMPTOMS INTO THE SEARCH ENGINE OF THE INTERNET AND FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND DRIVERS OF THE SAME DEFECT. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT FIRST THEY HAVE TO RUN TESTS TO VERIFY THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE PROBLEM AND I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THAT, BECAUSE THE CODE RESETS EACH TIME. THE TOTAL BILL WILL BE $600 TO $700. THEY HAVE DEALT WITH IT BEFORE, BUT FORD HAS NOTHING IN PLACE TO ADDRESS IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE.

ENGINE BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE MOVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR. ALSO SURGES FORWARD AND RUNS THRU MULTIPLE GEARS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH LIGHT, IF ANY THROTTLE APPLIED. ON 6-8-12 ENGINE WENT INTO FAILSAFE MODE, 1100 RPM WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. NO RESPONSE FROM THROTTLE, HAD TO MANIPULATE THRU TRAFFIC TO BEACH CAR UPON SHOULDER OF ROAD. AFTER SHUTTING OFF KEY AND RESTARTING, VEHICLE SEEMED FINE, BUT SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TWICE MORE WITHIN MINUTES. DROVE CAR TO NEAREST FORD DEALER WHO "CLEARED THE OLD CODES" AND TEST DROVE, FINDING NO FURTHER ISSUE. BILLED ME UNDER ESP SERVICE AGREEMENT, AND CONTINUED ONTO WORK. LEAVING WORK TO MAKE DELIVERIES, CAR INITIATED EXACTLY SAME RESPONSE AS EARLIER (5 TIMES), AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND AGAIN, HEAVY TRAFFIC. TOOK TO DEALER I BOUGHT CAR FROM, WHO IMMEDIATELY CLAIMED IT NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY, WHICH ARE ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER, DELIVERY DATE UNKNOWN. REFERRED TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO HAD OPEN BAYS AND A THROTTLE BODY IN STOCK, BUT FOR SOME REASON WAS UNINTERESTED IN EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR. OFFERED TO LEAVE CAR, ESP OFFERS RENTAL, SO I COULD RETURN TO WORK, BUT THAT PART HAS BECOME UNCOVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THEY STILL HAD NO INTEREST IN FIXING CAR AFTER I AGREED TO PAY MYSELF. TRANSMISSION HAS A QUIRKY PROBLEM OF DOWNSHIFTING AGGRESSIVELY WHEN TRAVELING DOWNHILL, UP-SHIFTING RAPIDLY IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, AND NOW A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES CAR TO GO INTO A NO POWER SITUATION WHILE AT SPEED. *JS

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING , I STARTED SPEEDING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME, THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE AT LESS THAN 700 RPM), BUT ALL SYSTEMS WHERE STILL WORKING. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCED NO RESULTS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOP THE ENGINE, LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS, AND THEN RESTARTED IT. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, THE CAR STARTED UP AND RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE FUSION DID THE EXACT SAME THING, I HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE), THE REST OF THE SYSTEMS CONTINUED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, STOP THE CAR , AND THEN RESTART. THIS IS THIRD TIME I TAKE TO THE DEALER, AND STILL RECEIVED NOT DIAGNOSTIC.

THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY TURN 1000 RPM. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER THAT AND IT'LL START DRIVING NORMALLY AGAIN. THE PROBLEMS SEEMS TO BE WITH A BAD THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY PART. CONTACTED FORD ABOUT SAFETY PROBLEM. MANY EXAMPLES ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION. *TR
