2010 FORD FUSION Vehicle Speed Control Problems

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

Electronic throttle body failure My car lost power going 50 mph in road construction The car had a recall and extended warranty on it from 2014-2024, i was not notified Check engine light, drive shaft light, and service advance trac appeared a few weeks before the failure

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) malfunctioned causing the brakes to give out while I was driving the vehicle. Luckily I was on a residential street and I was able to safely pull over, but it could have caused a major accident had it not happened in that location. After taking it to two auto-shops, both concluded that it was a problem with the ABS system. There is an open recall for the 2010 Ford Fusion for the same exact issue (Recall number: 19S54), however it does not cover the Hybrid model, even though it is the same exact issue. In order to stop the vehicle, I need to press down on the brake pedal very very hard and use the emergency brake. It is not safe to drive, and it is a substantial and costly problem with the vehicle to repair. I would like my car to be part of that recall program, or at least be able to be recalled for this issue in which there is already an open recall, except not for my specific variety of the 2010 Ford Fusion. I have had to get my car towed several times in order to transport it, as again, it is not safe to drive!

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle went into Limp Mode and stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be properly diagnosed until the warning light was illuminated while diagnosing the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that he received a recall notice on the electronic throttle body and was concerned that while driving the vehicle would stall again. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

Mileage: 123,000

While driving my 2010 Ford Fusion, on five separate occasions (two times less than a week apart) and over the last five months, while stopping for traffic lights, traffic or pedestrians the brake pedal travelled just inches from the floor and extra effort was needed in attempt to activate the brakes hoping to come to a complete stop. On two jarring instances collision was avoided only by swerving the vehicle to keep from hitting a wayward pedestrian and the other instance was with another vehicle backing out in a mall shopping center. On all five occasions there was an associated amber ABS light on the dash, a sudden drop in brake pressure and severely degraded to no braking power during application. The brake fluid reservoir is appropriately filled with the manufacturer specified DOT 3 brake fluid and there are no leaks in the system whatsoever. I’ve been told at the Ford dealership that my vehicle will not be able to be inspected or seen by appointment for a little over 2 months (late Oct 2022). I’ve contacted Ford’s customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and they stated that my VIN# is not included in the recall: 19S54. It’s apparent that my vehicle is experiencing all of the identical issues which prompted the Ford recall 19S54. Please assist so the Ford Fusion community can resolve this issue before another catastrophic event occurs.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and would not accelerate more than 40 mph. The accelerator pedal would go to the floorboard when depressed however, the vehicle would not accelerate. The contact was able to restart the vehicle as the failure occurred intermittently. The contact had a code reader reading with the failure code P112 - throttle actuator body control stuck closed. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that he needed to pay for replacement of the throttle body and calibration. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls relating to the failure. The failure mileage was 144,866.

I HAVE A FORD FUSION 2010 WE PURCHASED LAST YEAR AND APPARENTLY IT HAD THROTTLE ISSUES THAT WE COVERED A FEW YEARS AGO OUR CAR IS STARTING TO ACT UP WITH THIS TO WHERE LAST WEEK I COULD HAVE DIED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN PA CAUSE I LOST ENGINE POWER AND YOUR COMPANY IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY I WILL SUE FORD BECAUSE YOUR COMPANY IS REFUSING TO HELP FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT'S PAST THE 10 YEARS OR 150,000 IT SHOULD NOT MATTER. I KNOW IT'S THE THROTTLE CAUSE BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH WILL COME ON AND IT SHAKES BAD PLEASE I WANT THIS FIXED BY FORD AT NO CHARGE

UPON 9 YEARS OF AGE MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID (ANY MANY OTHERS) NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AS A HYBRID VEHICLE AND WILL ONLY USE THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE EV MOTOR IS SUPPOSED TO KICK IN FROM A STOP UPON ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHILE IT TRIES TO USE THE EV MOTOR BUT CANNOT DUE TO THIS LIMITATION. WHILE AT ROUNDABOUTS OR WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS.

Mileage: 76,000

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.

Mileage: 70,000

INTERMITTENTLY MY BRAKES WILL GO OUT, MOST OFTEN THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF AND I TURN IT OFF AND TRY TO REVERSE THOUGH IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENS ON ACCESS ROADS, THE HIGHWAY, MY DRIVEWAY AND MOST OFTEN IN PARKING LOTS. MY CAR WILL ROLL AND BE COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND I CAN PRESS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, ETC ON THE DASHBOARD ALL LIGHT UP AND MY CAR KEEPS ROLLING. I TRY TURNING MY VEHICLE ON AND OFF AS SOMETIMES EVEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK WILL NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND COME TO FIND OUT A KNOWN GLITCH FOR SOME 2010 FORD FUSIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE REVERSING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED VERY HIGH BEFORE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOURS LATER. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO REV VERY HIGH AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SHIFTED INTO PARK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND A CAR IN BACK OF ME. CAR VIOLENTLY SHOOK AND SPED FORWARD AT A FAST SPEED. CAR VEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WENT UP OVER THE CURB. CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME. CONSUMER PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. ENGINE WAS RACING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JD BYRIDER (1561 WEST LIBERTY AVE, PITTSBURGH, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING FUSION SERVICE DOWN HIGHWAY SUNDAY(12-16-18) SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON & COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS & HAD TO GET HOME TO PARK CAR BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING DUE TO STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD TO STEER, CAR SHAKING, AND COULDN'T HARDLY KEEP IN LANE. THE SERVICE ADVANCE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON & BOTH REMAIN ON & LITTLE TO NO CONTROL LEFT TO STEER THE CAR SO CAR REMAINS PARKED. FORD KNOWS THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS PART AND EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIRS AND PART IS A NECESSITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE CAR. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE COST OF FORD MOTOR NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO SEEK A SAFE CAR TO TRANSPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED THE END OF JULY 2018 FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. SHE INFORMED ME TODAY THAT FROM TIME TO TIME IT AS IF THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING IT OR WHEN SHE TRIES TO ACCELERATE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SEE THE LINK ATTACHED: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FUSION/2010/ENGINE/SUDDEN_DECELERATION_LOSS_OF_POWER.SHTML THIS WAS JUST FROM ONE WEBSITE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION, WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO CAR ACCIDENTS. SHE IS LIVING IN ATLANTA AND I AM IN ORLANDO SO SHE JUST MENTIONED IT TODAY WHEN I TALKED TO HER BUT SHE SAID IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE SHE HAS HAD IT THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

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!

APRIL 30, 2018 AFTER DRIVING FOR 3 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPR. 75 TO 80 MPH THE DASH LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE, FLICKERING AND THEN THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING CAME D. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY EXIT AND DRIVE SLOWLY. I COULD STOP AND GO VERY SLOW. AFTER A MILE OR 2 THE BATTER LIGHT AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOOSING POWER SO I PULLED OVER. AT THIS TIME IT WAS ALSO CHIMING THAT THE CROSS FAULT SYSTEM WAS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD NOT START, THE RADIO WOULD PLAY, LIGHTS WOULD WORK AND HAZARDS WOULD WORK .THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND I AM AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS. EARLIER ON APRIL 16, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THEY WOULD NO LONGER HOST THE VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT SYSTEM.

Mileage: 180,000

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE APPROPRIATELY AND THEN WOULD NOT BE IN GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED SENSORS ETC. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT A RECALL HAD IN FACT BEEN INSTITUTED FOR 2011 AND NEWER MODELS. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN VEHICLES FROM 2010 AS WELL. THERE IS NO REASON OWNERS OF 2010 MODELS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE FAILURE WHEN NEW MODEL OWNERS DO NOT. THE PART ITSELF (FOR AFTERMARKET) COSTS $1000.

ON MAY 25, 2017 I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND ROUNDED A BUILDING PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. FROM THE SPEED BUMP TO THE PARKING SPACE THE SLOW SPEED IS PERFECT FOR PULLING IN THE SPACE. I WAS BRAKING TO A STOP WHEN MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD ONLY STOPPING WHEN IT STRUCK THE BUILDING. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME, AS WITNESSED BY MY PASSENGER. I'M 4'10" TALL AND UNLIKE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I HAVE TO STRETCH TO REACH THE ACCELERATOR - SO THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE TWO. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD EVER EXPERIENCED A LURCHING ACTION IN OUR FUSION. WE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ACTION IN OUR FREESTYLE AND HAVE MANAGED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN THAT VEHICLE, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE FUSION. THE PREVIOUS OWNER MENTIONED A RARE TRANSMISSION "HICCUP" HIS MECHANIC COULD NEVER FIND. WE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE FUSION SINCE OCTOBER 2016 AND IT DROVE BEAUTIFULLY.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL DATE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS JUNE 2016 AND IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARLY A YEAR AND FORD STILL HAS "NO REMEDY" FOR THIS RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL OR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT MY CAR ALSO HAS BUT NOW IS PAST THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" AND THEY WILL NOT FIX FOR FREE, DESPITE ME HAVING MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT IN THE PAST. LAST WEEK, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY. I HAD BEEN LUCKY NO ONE WAS CLOSELY FOLLOWING BEHIND ME AND I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND QUICKLY COULD PULL OVER OR I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND AT A VERY FAST SPEED BECAUSE OF THE ETB FAILING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT MY CAR HAS. FORD HAS FAILED TO NOTIFY ME AND I FEEL THAT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SEND ME ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MY ADDRESS AND EMAIL, THEY PUT ME AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE LED TO SERIOUS INJURIES.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE TENDENCY OF REDUCING ACCELERATION, WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 35 OR ABOVE THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IF YOU ARE IN THE FAST LANE AND YOUR CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHAT CAN YOU DO IF THERE IS LOTS OF TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU, THIS WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO GO AND CARS ARE RIGHT UP ON YOU. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHEN I WAS ON JUST THE STREETS AND NOT THE HIGHWAY, I WAS GOING 45 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOSES SPEED AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, SO I COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED MY SON TO MEET ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD START AGAIN. IT DID BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I GOT A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME AND PULLED OVER TO THIS EXXON GAS STATION; SIT THERE UNTIL MY SON CAME AND HE STARTED IT AGAIN AND HE FOLLOWED ME HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN; IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES EVEN THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHOM I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT WANTED ME TO PAY THEM $115 OUT OF POCKET FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING ANYTHING THAT IS THEIR MISTAKE OR MESS UP. I WILL SEE IF I CAN ROUND UP ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BECAUSE WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT'S THEIR FAULT WHEN THE CAR WAS BUILT.

THIS INSTANCE VEHICLE GOING STEADY 35MPH AND STARTED REVVING RPM'S UP LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, IT THEN SLAMMED AND JERKED THE CAR AND STARTED THE REVVING AGAIN. STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND TURNED LEFT, WHILE TURNING AND HITTING ACCELERATOR THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE AND STARTED REVVING AGAIN AND THEN SLAMMED AND JERKED ALMOST MAKING THE PERSON BEHIND ME REAR END ME. PREVIOUS INSTANCE WAS A STEADY 75 MPH ON THE FLAT HIGHWAY AND THE SAME REVVING AND SLAM/JERKING HAD HAPPENED. 5TH TIME IT'S DONE IT THIS YEAR ALONE. 13 TIMES SINCE 2011.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, THE ORANGE WRENCH COMES ON ON THE DASH BOARD. THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING WHILE IDLING ROUGHLY. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES IT WILL START AND APPEAR FINE WITH NO SYMPTOMS AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON. HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING RANDOMLY, IT MIGHT BE THE NEXT DAY OR AN HOUR FROM THEN. I CHECKED THE CODE WHILE THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON AND GOT A P2111 CODE (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM). CALLED FORD TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT ISN'T ON RIGHT THIS MOMENT, THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO TRY TEST DRIVING IT LONGER TO GET IT TO ACT UP BEFORE FORD WILL ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE IT. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.

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.

ON 6/2/15 WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, CAR STARTED SHAKING, SPEED DROPPED, COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. SHUT CAR OFF. AFTER FEW MINUTES STARTED CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT 25 MPH TO GET IT OFF FWY BUT WAS OPERATING IN LOW POWER MODE. DROVE IT TO DEALER IN LOW POWER MODE. THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND COVERED UNDER FORD RECALL. NOW ON 8/19/16 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON WAY TO WORK. AGAIN HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO DEALER IN LOW POWER MODE. DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE CAR WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEM BY THE TIME THEY GOT AROUND TO IT. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME 1 YEAR AGO SO I FEEL IT IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH THEY REPLACED UNDER FORDS RECALL, BUT THEY INSIST IT IS NOT THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED OVER THE YEARS.

THE NIGHT WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, USED FROM A FORD DEALER, IT WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE WITHOUT JUMPING/BUCKING. THEY WERE SWIFT TO GIVE US A LOANER WHILE THEY "REPROGRAMEMD" THE CAR. NOW, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. THEY PUT A BANDAID ON IT UNTIL WE COULDN'T RETURN IT. SINCE THEN, JUST OVER 2YRS AGO, WE HAVE HAD THROTTLE REPLACED X3, CLEANED ONCE FOR $250 (WHILE ON THE WAY SOUTH FOR VACA, WE GOT STUCK HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HM UNTIL FORD DEALER OPENED 2 DAYS LATER.) THIS CAR HAS STRANDED US THREE DIFF TIMES WHILE OUT OF STATE ON VACA. NOW WHILE ON INTERSTATE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON, THE CAR STARTS BUCKING AND ACTING LIKE A MANUAL IN THE WRONG GEAR. BUT, HAS NO ACCELERATION. JUST REVS TO 4K-6K RPMS. DANGEROUS ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY SEMIS GOING FULL SPEED BEHIND YOU OR HAVING TO TRY AND CROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO EMERGENCY LANE--WITH NO ACCELERATION! THIS CAR IS A DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP. SHOCKING TO ME HOW FORD HASN'T STOOD BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. WE, AS A HUGE EXTENDED FAMILY, HAVE ALWAYS STOOD BEHIND FORD. ALWAYS BOUGHT FORD. NOW, WE HAVE BEEN DUPED BY THEM. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD US A FAULTY CAR, PUTTING THOUSANDS OF OTHER BUYERS IN DANGER AS WELL, AND HAVEN'T DONE A THING TO PROVE TO THE CONSUMERS THAT THEY CARE ABOUT US AS CUSTOMERS OR ONE IOTA ABOUT OUR LIVES. IF FORD DOESN'T RECALL THESE, I KNOW WE WILL SEE DEATHS FROM IT. ITS PROB GOING TO BE THE NEXT AUTOMOTIVE WORLD SCANDEL LIKE THE AIRBAGS. OUR FUSION IS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF METAL, WITH A HUGE PYMT, JUST SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY USELESS. SOMEHOW, WE HAVE TO FIGURE A WAY TO SAVE THOUSANDS FOR A TRANSMISSION ON A 6YR OLD CAR. NEVER THOUGHT FORD WOULD TURN OUT TO TREAT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS THIS WAY.

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.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT APPROX 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE MADE A SLIGHT JERK, AND LOST PROPULSION. I HAD TO CROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC OFF TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. ONCE STOPPED AND IN PARK, THE ENGINE IDLED VERY ROUGHLY, SHAKING THE ENTIRE CAR. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE, AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. IT HAD TO CRANK FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OVER AND STARTING. IT THEN DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 10 MILES BEFORE QUITTING AGAIN. I AGAIN STOPPED, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR, AND LIMPED IT HOME ON SIDE ROADS, OFF THE FREEWAY. IT DID NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY, BUT MADE IT THE OTHER 15 MILES HOME WITHOUT QUITTING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO RESEARCHED AND FOUND A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, CAUSING THESE EXACT SYMPTOMS, AND HAS REFERRED ME TO A FORD GARAGE FOR AN IN-WARRANTY REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 04/16/2015 THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 04/17/2015. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES AND FAILED TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 04/18,4/19,4/21. I ORDERED THE PART MYSELF AND WILL DO THE REPAIRS MYSELF SINCE I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL A COMPLETE FAILURE HAPPENS.

FORD DEALERS WILL CHARGE FOR REPROGRAMMING OF COMPUTER WHICH DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, THERE IS WHAT FORD CALLS A RECALL BUT THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM IF THE DASH LIGHT COMES ON BECAUSE THEIR OIL CHANGE PEOPLE CAN'T TELL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM UNLESS THE LIGHT COMES ON. FORD HAS GIVEN ME NUMEROUS "WORK TICKETS" BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THE VEHICLE OR DON'T KNOW HOW.

ON 12/17/14, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH ON A BUSY ROAD PUTTING MY CAR ON GEAR 4, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE WRENCH LIGHT LIT UP, AND THE CAR JUMPED VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WAS AT GEAR 1 OR SOMETHING. STARTLED, I GENTLY PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL A BIT MORE, THAT DIDN'T HELP; TRIED AGAIN, STILL VIOLENTLY JUMP. I HIT THE CLUTCH, PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL JUST ENOUGH TO STEER MY CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT. AFTER TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, CHECKED THE CAR, THEN STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE WRENCH WASN'T LIT, AND I DROVE AWAY. -- THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE TROUBLE OCCURRED. BEFORE THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED ON 12/20/14, I NOTICED SEVERAL SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS, AND SUDDEN STALLS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE 2ND TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT LIT UP, SAME PROBLEM: CAR JUMP, FELT LIKE ON GEAR 1 WHILE ACTUALLY ON GEAR 3 FOR A WHILE, HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND RE-IGNITE THE ENGINE TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN. LOCAL FORD DEALER DID DIAGNOSIS AND CONCLUDED THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY WAS BAD, TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY MUST REPLACE THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY AND CHARGE ME $450. THEY SAID THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY, AND PARTS DO GO BAD SOMETIMES. REALLY, IN 4 YEARS? FOR A WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGED CAR AT 34K MILEAGE?

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.

THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART, BUT BECAUSE THE REPAIR WAS DONE AT A PRIVATE SERVICE CENTER AND NOT A FORD DEALERSHIP, FORD REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. GUESS I WON'T BE BUYING A FORD EVER AGAIN! *TR

ON 8/15/14 CAR SPUTTERED WHILE DRIVING AT 30-35 MPH AND SLOWED TO A STOP. WOULD NOT RE-START IMMEDIATELY BUT EVENTUALLY DID AFTER 10 MINUTES. IT THEN SPUTTERED AND STOPPED A COUPLE TIMES WITHIN A MILE OR TWO. THE AUTO MECHANIC DID NOT FIND ANY BAD COMPUTER CODES. HE DID CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED THE AIR FILTER. THE CAR RAN WELL WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM FOR 3 WEEKS AND 1,100 MILES. ON 9/11/14 THE CAR AGAIN SPUTTERED AND SLOWED TO A STOP. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO RE-START IT. THE AUTO MECHANIC AGAIN FOUND NO BAD COMPUTER CODES. HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE CAUSE. WEB SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER DRIVERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 2010 FORD FUSION FUEL SYSTEM. DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT INTO IDLE AND IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A SHAKING HALT. THIS THEN HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES AS I MADE MY WAY ON LOCAL ROADS TO A FORD DEALER. ALSO FORTUNATELY, THE DEALER REPAIRED MY CAR (REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED), WHICH WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, FREE OF CHARGE.

PULLED OFF SHUT CAR DOWN, AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. DID NOTICE SOME MORE SPUTTERING ON THE DRIVE HOME. TOOK IT IN AUGUST 27, 2014 AND DEALER STATED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. $485.00 TO REPAIR THIS. I HAVE A 2005 FORD F150 ALSO AND STUCK $3,700 INTO IT LAST YEAR.

WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT STOPPED RESPONDING TO PRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR. I STEERED THE VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ON TO AN EXIT RAMP, WITH BRAKES AND STEERING UNAFFECTED. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING AND THE CAR SHAKING. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 70+ MPH WHEN MY GAS PEDDLE STOPPED WORKING, IT WOULD NOT MAKE MY CAR ACCELERATE. THE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO 1000-1500 AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AS I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR JUMPED AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS STALLING OUT. THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH ALSO ILLUMINATED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, THINKING THAT MY CAR WAS BROKEN DOWN AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GET IT TOWED. I THOUGHT TO RESTART THE CAR AND WHEN I DID, IT RAN FINE. UNTIL 3 DAYS LATER WHEN IT REPEATED THE SAME SYMPTOMS, 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. IT HAS NOW BEEN A WEEK AND I HAVE HAD COUNTLESS TIMES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED, MANY TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE, OR BUSY ROADS. JUST TODAY IN A 2 MILE STRETCH THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES! *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 43,000 MILES A CHECK FUEL FILL INLET WARNING APPEARED. I MAIN TENDED THE INLET SYSTEM AND THE WARNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD DISAPPEAR. AS TIME WENT ON I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD MERGE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO DEATH AND CAUSING OTHERS INJURIES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CHECKED AFTER THE RECALL AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE THROTTLE WASN'T THE ISSUE. A P0456 APPEARED AND THAT MEANS A SMALL EVAPORATE LEAK. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY PERFORMED A SMOKE TEST AND HE SAID NO. AFTER PAYING 90$ FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE THAT WASN'T PERFORMED ACCORDINGLY TO THE TAB BULLETIN, I BECAME VERY ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED WITH FORD. EVERY IME I SWITCH GEARS OR EVEN ACCELERATE MY CAR JERKS SO HARD THAT I HEAR WHAT IS MY ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION LOUDLY SHIFTING. THIS PAST WEEK MY CAR WON'T START. IT TAKES 15-20 SECONDS TO TURN ON. AFTER SOMEONE JUMPED THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS STUCK AT WORK, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED, MY SYNC AND VOICE FEATURED DISAPPEARED, AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN CHARGE MY PHONE! ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING AS WELL. I FEEL AS THOUGH ALL OF THE CARS FUNCTIONS ARE DELETING THEMSELVES FROM THE CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I CANNOT CONTINUE TO WORK BECAUSE OF IT. HOW CAN I PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHEN I CAN'T DRIVE TO MAKE THE MONEY? I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS POORLY MANUFACTURED CAR. THEY NEED TO RECALL THE 2010 FORD FUSION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN SOMETHING WORSE. *TR

AS I PULLED OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET GOING TO WORK MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO GAS, I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN A WEAK ATTEMPT AT A LURCH. I HAD TO PULL OVER (PARTIALLY OFF OF THE ROAD) INTO A NEIGHBOR'S YARD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A LARGE TRANSPORT TRUCK COMING UP ON ME RAPIDLY. I PUSHED IT INTO A "TURNED AROUND" POSITION AND BETWEEN PUSHING AN THE LURCHING GOT BACK HOME. THE ROAD I WAS ON WAS TOO NARROW AND TOO BUSY TO JUST LEAVE IT. I HAVE A HISTORY OF BACK SURGERY AND THIS DID NOT HELP!!!! AFTER I GOT IT TO THE HILL NEAR MY HOME I COASTED IN STILL WITH NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS. THERE WAS AN ORANGE LIGHT ON WITH A WRENCH PICTURE. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS SITES WITH OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO HELP FROM FORD! SOME WERE ACTUALLY REAR-ENDED ON THE INTERSTATES SO I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT ASPECT! (SO FAR!) THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT FORD CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS THE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON! THE CODE ERASES ONCE THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED SO THEY "CANNOT" DIAGNOSE IT AND THEREFORE SEND US BACK OUT IN THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AND THERE IS NO WAY TO "MOVE FAST" ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. THIS COULD BE FATAL IN FAST MOVING THICK TRAFFIC WITH LARGER VEHICLES COMING UP FROM BEHIND AT SPEED LIMITS OF 70 MPH. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN IT DOES THIS AND RPMS DO NOT GO ABOVE 1000RPM. ARE RECALLS ONLY DONE WHEN SOMEONE DIES? IF SO, I NEED TO TRADE THIS CAR IN ASAP! *TR

MYSELF AND TWO PASSENGERS (INCLUDING 10 MONTH OLD) WERE RIDING NORTHBOUND ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. OUR 2010 FORD FUSION SUDDENLY WENT INTO SAFE MODE (AKA "LIMP HOME MODE") WHERE THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE POWER (STEERING, BRAKES, HVAC SYSTEMS) BUT IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. WE WERE TRAVELING ALONG AT ~3-5MPH WITH OTHER TRAFFIC STILL TRAVELING FULL SPEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. A FORD DEALER HAD JUST PERFORMED RECALL 13B17 ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH RECALIBRATED THE POWERTRAIN. UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID NOT INSTALL A NEW THROTTLE BODY, WHICH IS COVERED ON THIS VEHICLE IN SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WHILE ALL OTHER CONTROLS REMAINED (STEERING, BRAKING, HVAC), THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SERVICE WRENCH LIGHT ACTIVATED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE INDICATED A TRANSMISSION ERROR. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE MAKES IT VERY HARD TO POSITION THE VEHICLE SAFELY ON THE ROADWAY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FORD GARAGE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. WHILE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, FORD ONLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ITEM AND DID NOT RECALL THE VEHICLE. GIVEN THE DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION, THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON AN INTERSTATE. *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

WE HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 175 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WITH NO WARNING AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS DID THE SYMBOL OF A WRENCH. I PULLED OFF TO SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. STEPPING ON THE GAS DID NOT RAISE THE ENGINE SPEED. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS NOTHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IT STARTED AND RAN JUST FINE. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. ABOUT 16 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THERE WAS A SMALL FORD DEALER A FEW MILES AWAY SO I TOOK IT IN. THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND INDICATED THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE AVAILABLE. HE SAID THE CAR SHOULD ALWAYS RESTART AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. WE DROVE THE NEXT 300 MILES WONDERING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. WHEN WE GOT HOME I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND COUNTLESS POSTINGS OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY WELL KNOWN. GIVEN THIS, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE WERE ON VACATION (MYSELF, WIFE, CHILDREN) ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED THE FIRST TIME. A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND US AND STARTED CATCHING UP FAST AS I DRIFTED OFF TO THE SHOULDER. THEY WERE BLOWING THE AIR HORN AT ME BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER TRUCK COMING THE OTHER WAY AND HE COULD NOT MOVE OVER. *TR

I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC TO TURN LEFT AT A TURN SIGNAL. THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WENT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW, THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I WENT FROM ACCELERATING TO BRAKING, AND THE BRAKE WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I OBVIOUSLY REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HE SAID HE COULD SEE ME AND LET OFF HIS BRAKE WHEN HE REALIZED MY CAR WASN'T STOPPING. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT TONIGHT AT A DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING, EVEN AS I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR. THE LIGHTS, RADIO AND A/C STAYED ON. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF AT LEAST 50 MPH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. AS I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THE CAR RUMBLED AND SHUDDERED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I WAITED A MINUTE, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. FORD COVERED THE PROBLEM UNDER AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" FOR A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM, BUT I FEEL THAT MY SAFETY WAS IN JEOPARDY BY NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT AT HIGH SPEED. IN THIS AREA, HAVING A CAR SUDDENLY DIVE FROM 50 MPH TO ALMOST NOTHING CAN GET YOU KILLED. THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL, RATHER THAN WAITING TO SEE WHO SURVIVES THE PROBLEM TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT STALLED, BUT IT ACTUALLY HAD NOT. BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD IT BEGAN VIOLENTLY JERKING THE WHOLE CAR. GAS AND BRAKE CONTROLS WERE EFFECTED AND THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY AND DIFFICULT TO STOP IT FROM MOVING FORWARD ONCE I GOT OFF THE ROAD. I QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS A WRENCH LIGHT DURING THIS INCIDENT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I STARTED TO DRIVE TO THE BODY SHOP I USE AND AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES IT DID IT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND I WAS SCARED I WOULD BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. AFTER MAKING IT OFF THE ROAD AGAIN, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I EVENTUALLY DID GET IT TO MY BODY SHOP, BUT THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND FIX IT! *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A SECONDARY ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN WITH OUT WARNING THERE WAS A SUDDEN POWER FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DESK AND WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE A "COMPUTER GLITCH". I STARTED AND DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 3 MILES BACK HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TRIED ABOUT 5 TIMES IN OUR LONG DRIVE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE I COULD NOT DUPLICATE, I DECIDED TO CONTINUE ON MY ERRANDS. THIS TIME I TRAVELED ABOUT 5 MILES AND THE SAME POWER FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE AND AFTER 36 HRS HAD MY CAR BACK. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (13N03) AT NO EXPENSE TO ME. LUCKILY FOR ME MY EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ON A RURAL ROAD. HAD IT HAPPENED ON A MULTILANE, HIGH SPEED ROAD A VERY SERIOUS MULTICAR ACCIDENT MAY HAVE OCCURRED. I WAS ASSURED THAT THE NEW THROTTLE BODY WOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I AM A CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER. I DEPEND ON FORD VEHICLES. MY LIFE, LITERALLY DEPENDS UPON IT. THAT BEING SAID, I WILL NEVER OWN A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 93,XXX MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AS I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK, MY FUSION LOST ALL POWER, AND FORCED ME TO THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS ACTION NEARLY RESULTED IN A MAJOR INJURY, REAR END COLLISION. ALL THIS OCCURRED DURING THE HOURS OF DARKNESS, ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IN THE GREATER SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT YET REQUIRED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY // U.S GOVERNMENT, IS BEYOND BELIEF. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY FROM AN OUTSIDE RETAILER, (NOT A FORD FACTOR PART) INSTALLED IT IN MY GARAGE, AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES AS OF THIS POSTING. HOW THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CAN JUSTIFY $400 TO $500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS PROBLEM PART, IS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING. HOW IS THIS NOT YET A GOVERNMENT RECALL?? I MAY BE FORCED TO DRIVE FORD VEHICLES IN ORDER TO DO MY JOB, BUT TO REITERATE, MY FAMILY WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A FORD VEHICLE. EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING. I AM GRATEFUL MY FUSION SHUT DOWN RATHER THAN ACCELERATE. I GUESS THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY MUST HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM THE TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY. NOW IT JUST TAKES THE USELESS GOVERNMENT MORONS TO FORCE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO ADMIT TO, AND FIX THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM. *JS

IT IS THE TYPICAL THROTTLE BODY ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT. IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL COMPLETELY OUT ON THE MAIN ROAD. OCCASIONALLY, I COULD TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD DRIVE ME A FEW MORE MILES BEFORE STALLING OUT AGAIN. CAR WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY "JUMP" LIKE IT WAS MISSING GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SPEED WITHOUT PUTTING MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. I BOUGHT A NEW THROTTLE BODY FOR ABOUT $400 I THINK IN SEPTEMBER 2012 AND WITHIN A YEAR IT WAS ALREADY DOING THE SAME THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE. I JUST RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FORD IN THE MAIL AND WILL GET A REFUND FOR MY PREVIOUS EXPENSE ON A NEW THROTTLE BODY. IT PRETTY MUCH SEEMS LIKE A RECALL BUT WITHOUT ACTUALLY SAYING IT IS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY FURTHER ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN BUT IF SO THEN PLEASE DO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR WITH A SHORT SHELF LIFE. I ALMOST GOT BLASTED FROM MY SIDE TWICE BECAUSE I WOULD BE TURNING OFF A 4 LANE ROUTE WITH PLENTY OF DISTANCE FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD STALL. I WAS BASICALLY A SITTING DUCK SIDEWAYS HOPING IT WOULD ROLL ME FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I HOPE THIS HELPS. *TR

CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND SPEED WHILE DRIVING. PRESSING THE GAS BARELY MADE IT GO FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET, THEN IT DIED. ON BUSY HIGHWAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SIDE STREET AND PUSH PAST A DRIVE WAY. RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ANOTHER COUPLE OF MILES. AFTER ABOUT 1.5 HOURS OF WAITING, IT DIED 2X WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 2 MILES HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE (A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO) TO THIS SAME VEHICLE (TAKEN TO DEALER AT LEAST 2X FOR THE PROBLEM). BASED ON WHAT I READ TODAY ONLINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE "THROTTLE BODY". TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH I FELT A LOSS OF POWER IN MY FUSION FOLLOWED BY A WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND FORTUNATELY WAS ON A STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY WITH A SHOULDER. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT SINCE NO LIGHTS WERE ON NO CODES REGISTERED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR ONCE AGAIN STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE FAST LANE. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. UPON MY SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACED. IT APPEARS THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW ABOUT. *TR

EVEN IF I PUSHED THE GAS IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THIS THE 4 TIME. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT TRAVELING EVERY DAY TO SCHOOL AND BACK. NOT ONLY ON BACK ROADS BUT ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IF I LOSE MY ACCELERATION I COULD BE SERIOUS HURT.

I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IDLED ROUGH FOR A MINUTE AND WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT SO I PROCEEDED ON AND IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 60 MILES FURTHER UP THE ROAD SO I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED HOME.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION STALLED MANY TIMES LAST WEEKEND. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON, AND IT RAN FINE TO GET ME HOME. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL TODAY, ROUGHLY A WEEK LATER. IT STALLED ON ME TWICE AT SPEED, AND I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN IT OFF, AND RESTART THE ENGINE, UPON WHICH IT RAN FINE. EACH TIME IT STALLED, THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER IT STALLED, BUT DID NOT STAY ON ONCE THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. TODAY AFTER THE THIRD STALL, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS KIND OF JERKING AS I PULLED IT TO A STOP, BUT AS I PRESSED THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT THIS IS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS). THIS SWITCH ALMOST GOT ME KILLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MORE THAN ONCE AND IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED BECAUSE FORD HAS YET TO RECALL THIS PART!!! *TR

THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT MONTH UNTIL I COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE HAD IT TOWED THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY IN DEC. OF 2012. IT IS NOW DEC.

YESTERDAY, 12-18-13 WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY CAR THROTTLE STOPPED RESPONDING AND WENT INTO ROUGH IDLE. DID SAME THING 4 TIMES AND I NARROWLY ESCAPED BEING REAR ENDED. HAD TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF ENGINE. AFTER LETTING CAR SET FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES CAR RESTARTED AND SEEMED TO RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT UNPREDICTABLE INCIDENT. TODAY 12-19-13 ON WAY TO DEALERSHIP PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED. ALMOST BEING KILLED 4 TIMES IN 24 HRS. SUGGESTS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM AS SOON AS I MENTIONED IT INDICATING THIS WAS NOT FIRST TIME. DEALERSHIP FIXED ISSUE EVEN BEFORE DISCUSSING PRICE AS THEY SAID I COULD NOT DRIVE CAR IF THIS PART WAS NOT REPLACED (AGAIN INDICATING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF). ACCORDING TO NHTSA ACTION # PE13003 THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION SINCE FEB. 21, 2013. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT LEADS TO FATALITIES. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON THIS DATE AND WAS GIVEN VERY LITTLE ASSISTANCE ON THE ISSUE OTHER THAN THEY WOULD REPORT IT FOR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION. FEEL THAT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 5 IN SEATTLE WHEN I SUDDENLY FELT A "TUG" AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE RIGHT-HAND LANE WHERE THE CAR LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH BRIDGE. THE ELECTRICAL REMAINED ON. A STATE TROOPER PUSHED US OFF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD THE CAR TOWARD TOWED. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT A MONTH LATER (DEC. 15) THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN NEARLY THE SAME LOCATION (MONTLAKE EXIT OF I-5 NORTHBOUND). THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND DRIVE IT HOME. THE DEALER (AUTONATION IN BELLEVUE) DIAGNOSED A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY.

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

I WAS DRIVING AT 50MPH, SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A PULL OFF SECTION ON SIDE OF ROAD. TOOL LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP GOING. THROTTLE BODY IS CAUSE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR JERKS AND THEN DECELERATES, CANNOT PUSH THE GAS AS IT WILL DO NOTHING, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE AND CRANK IT BACK UP. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE AT FIRST, HOWEVER, NOW OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY DURING INTERSTATE DRIVING. SO I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, TO GET A PRICE CHECK ON THE PART AS COMPUTER THREW CODE P2111, WHO ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD HAS NOT DONE A RE-CALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I REALLY THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED FROM THEIR VEHICLE JUST DECIDING IT WANTS TO DECELERATE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

SATURDAY AFTERNOON ON 11/23/13 WE WERE DRIVING 57 MPH WHEN THE CAR BUCKLED AND THE LITTLE WRENCH CAME ON. WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GET OFF SIDE OF THE ROAD SINCE THERE WAS A DITCH BESIDE US AND WE WERE ON A STATE ROUTE SO THERE WERE CARS COMING TOWARDS US AND VEHICLES BEHIND US. WE WAITED A FEW MINUTES STARTED THE CAR AND HEADED ON OUR WAY. LATER ON THAT SAME DAY AROUND 10PM THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AND WE HAD NO POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THE LITTLE WRENCH COMES ON. THIS TIME THERE WAS LESS TRAFFIC AT NIGHT SO WE WERE ABLE TO SOMEWHAT GET OFF THE ROAD. AGAIN WE SAT THERE FOR AWHILE, STARTED IT BACK UP AND HEADED STRAIGHT BACK TO OUR HOUSE. SINCE WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ALREADY DUE TO MY WIFE HAVING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR OF THE CAR AND HER OWN MOTHER HAVING TO REPLACE THE SAME THING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDED REPLACE. WE ARE ABLE TO CALL THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FROM THE SAME PLACE WHERE MY WIFE GOT HER CAR FROM AND GET THE PART NEEDED. MY WIFE'S STORY WITH HER CAR IS A BIT MORE INTENSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OF 70 MPH THE CAR BUCKLED AND LOST ALL POWER AND CARS WERE FLYING BY ALMOST NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. IF THEY REALLY WANT ME TO BE A HAPPY FORD CUSTOMER I WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD RECALL THIS KNOWING PEOPLES LIVES AND SAFETY ARE AT RISK WHEN THE CAR LOSES ALL CONTROL WHILE DRIVING.

DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, MY CAR BEGAN SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND SURFACE ROADS. I WOULD PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES. THE CAR WOULD WORK FINE AFTERWARDS. I FIRST HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED WHICH REVEALED A BAD BATTERY, I HAD IT REPLACED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE SYMPTOMS AFTER THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED. I ALSO NOTICED THE STALLING HAPPENED MORE WHEN I FILLED THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE PLACE I PURCHASED IT FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I DISCOVERED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. I WAS TOLD BY A TECH THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD ASSEMBLED NEW THROTTLE BODIES TO REPLACE THE ORIGINALS AS THE ORIGINAL THROTTLE BODY DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. APPARENTLY, THE INTAKE WAS NOT OPENING/CLOSING PROPERLY THEREFORE THE ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS AT TIMES. THE SHOP WAS ABLE TO PULL CODES FROM THE PREVIOUS STALL EVENTS, P2111 & P2112. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, ~ $300.00. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND EXPECT/HOPE A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AS A SIDE NOTE, MY ABS LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL. THERE WAS A KNOWN RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, SHORTED TO GROUND. FORD REPLACED THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AT NO CHARGE.

OWNER WAS DRIVING A 2010 FORD FUSION ON A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC APPROACHING A TWO LANE TUNNEL ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2013. VEHICLE WAS NON-RESPONSIVE WHEN PRESSURING THE ACCELERATOR, SO HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY. EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING THE IGNITION, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, ALTHOUGH IT BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT DISPLAYED AS WRENCH ICON, WHICH ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL MEANT A POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AAA TOWED CAR TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE NEXT MORNING, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 2, A THIRD PARTY TOWING COMPANY HIRED BY FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED TO TOW VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THE TOW TRUCK URGED DRIVER TO DRIVE THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, AND FOLLOWED BEHIND. AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES OF DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL SURFACE STREETS, CAR BECAME NONRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATOR WHILE DRIVING AROUND 10 MI/HR. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOWED THE VEHICLE THE REMAINING DISTANCE TO FORD DEALERSHIP IN COLMA, CALIFORNIA. AFTER WAITING FOR AN HR, DEALER MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND ADVISED THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS INAPPLICABLE DESPITE VEHICLE BEING WITHIN THE 5 YR / 60,000 MI WINDOW. THE FORD DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE REPAIR AND COLLECTED PAYMENT THE SAME DAY. AFTER RETURNING HOME WITH THE VEHICLE, I DISCOVERED THAT PG 19 OF THE 2010 FORD OWNER'S MANUAL SHOWED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS A COVERED PART THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE AS AN EMISSIONS-RELATED COMPONENT SO LONG AS THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN 8 YRS / 80,000 MI. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AGREED THAT PG 19 SHOWED THAT THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THEY ADVISED THAT THEIR INTERNAL FORD COMPUTER DATABASE INDICATED THAT THIS PART WAS ONLY COVERED FOR HYBRID VEHICLES DESPITE THE WRITTEN MANUAL MAKING NO SUCH DISTINCTION. *TR

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE JERKING AND FAILING TO INCREASE SPEED DESPITE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

Mileage: 94,000

THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED I WAS RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND JUST OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING....IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!!! THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AT OREILYS AND THE CODE P1121 (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) INDICATED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL WAS STUCK OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT HAS CUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN WITHOUT WARNING, BUT I CONTINUE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. IT IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS!!! AFTER TALKING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS AND DOING MY RESEARCH ONLINE I SEE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!! I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND MAKE SURE THAT I AM VERY CAUTIOUS AND I TRY NOT TO GO OVER 60MPH, BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY IN A VERY COMPROMISING SCENARIO... I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BUCKLE DOWN AND GET IT FIXED.$$$$$$$$$$ I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN! *LN

1ST EVENT-WHEN I ACCELERATED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR SHUTTERED AND BARELY MOVED. LUCKILY NO COLLISION. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THEN I RESTARTED WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING AND DROVE HOME. 2ND EVENT--IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I ACCELERATED AND AGAIN IT SHUTTERED AND STOPPED MOVING. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED A BACKUP AND FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WORRIED THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN, I DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS TEN DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS WITHOUT A CAR OVERNIGHT. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ($185.03) WITH LABOR COSTS AT $142.43. *TR

Mileage: 33,800

INSTANCE #1. UNRESPONSIVE GAS PEDAL. I PARKED MY FUSION AT THE STORE AND WENT IN FOR 20 MINUTES. CAME OUT, STARTED THE CAR, BACKED UP AND PULLED AWAY SLOWLY. ABOUT 30 FEET FROM THE PARKING SPOT IN A HEAVILY CONGESTED AREA THE CAR JERKED HARSHLY AND SPUTTERED WITH THE WRENCH LIGHTING UP. IT WOULD BARELY MOVE EVEN THOUGH I TRIED TO TAP THE GAS AND THEN TRIED HARDER TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND INTO A PARKING SPOT.. FINALLY, I GOT IN A PARKING SPOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I POPPED THE HOOD AND REMOTE STARTED THE CAR. THE ENGINE RAN NORMAL WITH NO SPUTTERING. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE 1.5 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. (SEE INSTANCE #2). *TR

Mileage: 43,000

INSTANCE #2 (IN 2 DAYS). UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I WENT OUT TO MY CAR IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK. STARTED IT UP, BACKED OUT AND WENT ABOUT 20 FEET AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING HARD WITH THE WRENCH LIGHTING UP JUST LIKE THE DAY BEFORE. I STOPPED AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. RESTARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED WHEN IT WAS TURNING OVER IT DID IT A LOT LONGER THAN USUAL, ALMOST LIKE IT WAS STUCK OR SOMETHING. I DROVE IT ABOUT 1 MILE TO A BREAKFAST PLACE WITH NO PROBLEMS, SHUT IF OFF AND WENT IN. (NOTE - THERE IS AN INSTANCE #3 RIGHT AFTER THIS ). *TR

Mileage: 43,000

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR HAD VIOLENTLY RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS CAUSED ME TO STOP RATHER QUICKLY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, WAITED 3 MINUTES, AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 0.5 MILES BACK TO MY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY BODY FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON THING WITH FORD FUSIONS. TOTAL BILL WAS $598. *TR

Mileage: 78,700

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND LOST ALL POWER. RPM DECREASED DRAMATICALLY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, HOWEVER THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP RUNNING. THE WRENCH INDICATOR CAME ON AS I MANAGED TO SAFELY GET TO A PARKING LOT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE HOME WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. SINCE THE INCIDENT I TOOK THE CAR INTO A REPUTABLE SHOP FOR PROPER DIAGNOSTIC WHICH RESULTED IN NO INDICATION OR FAILURE CODES FROM THE TESTS. THERE WAS NO FOREWARNING FOR THE FAILURE INCIDENT AND I WILL SAY THAT I WAS IN A PRECARIOUS AND DANGEROUS TRAFFIC CONDITION WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THROUGH FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THE FOLLOWING: UNFORTUNATELY THIS FAILURE SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND LINKED TO A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES FOR THIS FAILURE APPARENTLY GET ERASED WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS CYCLED OFF THEN ON, PREVENTING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM CAPTURING THE CODE NECESSARY FOR ANALYSIS (UNLESS A DIAGNOSTIC IS PERFORMED WHILE THE INCIDENT IS OCCURRING). IF THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THE FAILURE CODE SHOULD BE P2111 OR P2112. FORD HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER OF THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT PART FROM THE ORIGINAL PART CAUSING SUSPICION TO BE CAST ON THE ORIGINAL PART. THIS WARRANTS A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE INJURY POTENTIAL WHEN FAILURE OCCURS IN TRAFFIC, BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED BY FORD .....YET. *TR

Mileage: 40,500

THROTTLE RESPONSE STOPPED ENTIRELY AT AN INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A NEAR REAR-END COLLISION. SUBSEQUENT EXTREME ROUGH IDLE, BOGGED-DOWN ENGINE BEHAVIOR, AND DIFFICULTY TO START ENGINE. FAULTY PART IS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, PER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13003. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

THIS IS A COMPLAINT FOR AN ISSUE THAT HAS AN EXISTING PRELIMINARY EVALUATION - NHTSA PE13003. I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION SEL IN JULY 2010. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. IN MAY OF 2013, WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, MY VEHICLE APPEARED TO STALL AS I WAS TURNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL POWERED, MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE OR ACCELERATE TO SPEEDS OVER 5 MPH WAS INSTANTLY REMOVED. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR, WHICH DROVE NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ACROSS TOWN TO MEET THE PERSON PROVIDING ME A RIDE TO AND FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP. OVER THE COURSE OF AN HOUR, MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS 4 SEPARATE TIMES WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED TO ME THE NEXT AY THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, AT A COST OF $486. NONE OF THE COST WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT I WOULD BE ADVISED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE IMMEDIATELY AS THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PART WAS IN SHORTAGE NATIONWIDE, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY HAD 1 ON HAND. I HAD THE PART REPLACED, AND THE VEHICLE HAS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY SINCE. *TR

Mileage: 49,876

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON COBURG ROAD ABOUT 10:00 AM THIS MORNING AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROCK FRONT AND BACK AND MY SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED. I WENT FROM ABOUT 25 MPH TO DRIFTING AND ABOUT 2 TO 5 MPH IN TRAFFIC. I COASTED AND TURNED AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION AND PULLED OVER. ALL OF A SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO CHECK THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP. THE TOTAL COST WAS ABOUT $350 AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. WE HAVE 2 FORD FUSIONS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN TO THE 2012 WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING. EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TR

Mileage: 53,907

DRIVING ALONG AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLES JERKED ONCE AND THEN DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. AS I COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, I NOTICED THE RPM GAUGE SPUTTERING BETWEEN 500-1100 RPM. AS I STOPPED THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SHAKE. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED IT. I DROVE ANOTHER 5 MILES AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE BEFORE I ARRIVED AT MY JOB AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. *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. THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE $420.58!! *TR

AS I WAS GOING TO WORK JUST BEFORE 5 PM - I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH BUT LOST POWER YET WAS ABLE TO ROLL SLIGHTLY OFF THE ROAD. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL TO NO AVAIL. I CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF FORD IN OUR TOWN AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT MORNING. (THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY.) I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO WORK. AS I WAS LEAVING WORK, I ONLY GOT ABOUT 1/10 OF A MILE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL BUT HAD NO POWER. EACH TIME I NOTICED A "WRENCH" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I AGAIN PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED HE SAID HE HAD TOWED ONE THE PREVIOUS DAY WITH THE SAME TROUBLE. LUCKILY, MINE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS THE "THROTTLE BLOCK". IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP LATER THAT DAY, BUT I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN AND WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK IT UP - THEY PULLED THE PAPERWORK FOR ANOTHER CAR (NOT MINE) AT FIRST THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO LEARNED THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER 2010 FUSION HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART ! I HOPE THAT FORD WILL MAKE A RECALL FOR THE "THROTTLE BLOCK" AND REPAY ALL THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO PAY BECAUSE THEIR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AND AFTER ACCELERATING THROUGH A LIGHT, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND MY "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND THE CAR BEGAN JUMPING BACK AND FORTH AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WENT AWAY BRIEFLY. AFTER PULLING ONTO A SIDE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, MY RPM GAUGE BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND I WAS NOT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL.IT ALSO BEGAN HARD SHIFTING AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO DROP. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMPUTER ISSUE, BUT IT IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK. I RESEARCHED THIS WEEKEND AND CLEARLY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T A RECALL. HOPEFULLY FORD TAKES CARE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

P2111 ERROR CODE; SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME AS HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE MODELS. MECHANICS ALL SAY THE SAME THING, FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

Mileage: 70,550

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE THE SPEED BECAME TO RAPIDLY DECREASE WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGIN SHAKE AND SPUTTER. TRIED DRIVING AGAIN AND REALIZED THAT I WAS FINE AS LONG AS I DID NOT GO OVER 40MPH. HAD TO HAVE ME CAR TOWED HOME BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MY JOB AND HOME. CALLED AROUND, HAD THE CODE READ ON THE CAR AND IT WAS A "P2112" ERROR CODE WHICH POINTED TO THE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR MY OWN PART-LABOR. PAYING $445 ON TOMORROW TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY 2013, AND ME PAYING FOR REPAIRS ON TOMORROW MEANS THAT I CANNOT PAY MY CAR NOTE. THIS IS HORRIBLE SINCE THE REPRESENTATIVE AT FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE POSTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME THING. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD, HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER ON THE INTERSTATE (I HAD NOT MADE IT ON YET WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST STARTED) MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STOP. *TR

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE APPEARED TO BE QUITTING. I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR A NUMBER OF TIMES, HOWEVER, THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND AND THE ENGINE SIMPLY QUIT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE CAR (AFTER HAVING HAD TO FLAG CARS TO GO AROUND ME TO AVOID A REAR-END COLLISION), IT INITIALLY WOULD NOT RE-START. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED. SO FAR IT HAS RUN FINE, BUT HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THROTTLE BODY ON A PREVIOUS VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY), I KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THAT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL QUIT AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION OR IDLING. I AM NOW AFRAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE ONTO THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SEEING NUMEROUS POSTING ON THIS ISSUE OF THE FORD FUSIONS THROTTLE BODY, IT IS APPARENT THAT THE COMPANY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THE CAR "STALLED" AND STOPPED MOVING. IT DID NOT DIE BUT I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WE WERE LEFT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO MOVEMENT. 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.

DRIVING ALONG IN TRAFFIC ABOUT 40MPH CAR JUST SHUT OFF. PULLED OFF ROAD TURNED KEY OFF AND RESTARTED CAR. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK CAR TO MY MECHANIC THEY TRIED TO CHECK PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT STALL FOR THEM. THEY DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THROTTLE IF THEY WERE NOT CERTAIN THAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO GO BACK AT THAT TIME. ABOUT A MONTH WENT BY WITHOUT A PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN I TOOK IT IN TO THE FORD DEALER THEY SAID THEY JUST GOT A NEW PROGRAM TO TEST FOR SPECIFICALLY THROTTLE TROUBLE. MY CAR FAILED THE TEST AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE KIT- COSTING ME $392.20. NOT ONLY WAS IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WOULD JUST STOP RUNNING BUT IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR INVESTIGATION AND WILL GET A RECALL SO I CAN AT LEAST RECOUP MY EXPENSES. THE FEAR OF BEING REAR ENDED WAS FRIGHTENING WHEN DRIVING IN ANY TRAFFIC SITUATION. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION LURCHED FORWARD AND THEN STALLED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS LOSING SPEED AND HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE SEMI AND OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES... THE SEMI NARROWLY MISSED ME. ONCE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY I TURNED MY CAR OFF WAITED A SECOND AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN. IT DID THIS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK AND 5 ON THE WAY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A SERVICE CENTER AND THE CODE THEY GOT WAS "P2111 THROTTLE ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN". I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT 2011 AND 12 FUSIONS HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT THE 2010 BUT SEE THAT MANY 2010 OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AS I HAVE HAD. WHY ARE 2010 FUSIONS NOT BEING RECALLED FOR A BAD THROTTLE BODY? IT IS A VERY SCARY AND SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I WAS LUCKY. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD WHEN WE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND COULD NOT MOVE TO SAFETY. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND WE HAD TO GET TOWED. WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WAS A COMMON, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. *TR

Mileage: 57,000

I WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES FROM MY STARTING POINT TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH. SUDDENLY, THE 2010 FORD FUSION LURCHED WHILE SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE. WHEN IT LURCHED ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WAS LOST. WITH CARS ON EACH SIDE, I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE; I LOST SPEED QUICKLY AND WORKED MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION). I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE 'WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT WARNING SIGNIFIED. DURING THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION, THE CAR DID NOT LOSE POWER STEERING AND IT REMAINED RUNNING, BUT THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING AND NOT IDLING AT A STEADY PACE. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO 'REV' UP THE ENGINE, BUT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED ABOUT 1 MINUTE THEN RESTARTED. THE CAR AGAIN HAD NO ACCELERATION ABILITY AND SPUTTERED WHICH SOUNDED VERY MUCH LIKE A COUGH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES LATER, WHEN ASSISTANCE ARRIVED, I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. AT THIS TIME, THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR APPEARED TO IDLE NORMALLY. UPON RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THE WRENCH SYMBOL MEANS: THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR SHOULD CONTACT THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

SPONTANEOUS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF ONE WEEK. ON THE HIGHWAY, IN A PARKING LOT AND DRIVING DOWN A NORMAL STREET. CAR STALLED AND LURCHED FORWARD REPEATEDLY. HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER WHILE COASTING WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THEN TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON TO CONTINUE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED THROTTLE BODY TODAY AT COST OF $100 OUT OF MY POCKET. I DRIVE A 2010 FORD FUSION. *TR

Mileage: 43,000

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. THE CAR BEHIND ME WHICH HAD SEEN ME START TO GO ASSUMED I WAS GOING TO KEEP ACCELERATING AND HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. I SAT IN THE LEFT LANE UNTIL THE RIGHT CLEARED SO I COULD LITERALLY ROLL IT ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED BY TRAFFIC. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RE-STARTED IT. IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE AFTER THAT. THE NEXT DAY, IT DID IT AGAIN TO MY WIFE. SHE WAS STARTING TO ACCELERATE, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND NO POWER, GAS PEDAL WAS INOPERATIVE AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. 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. THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL SO EASILY AND IT NEARLY CAUSED MY CAR TO GET REAR ENDED. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FELT THAT THIS PART FAILING SO EARLY AND WITH SO LITTLE MILEAGE (WHICH MOST IS EASY HIGHWAY) WAS ODD. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND IT SEEMS MORE AND MORE ARE FAILING. FORD EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THEY HAD MADE SOME DEFECTIVE ONES. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TRAVELING ON THE PA TURNPIKE THE ENGINE JUST STALLED. WE HAD TO NEGOTIATED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE AROUND TRAFFIC. NOTIFIED FORD AND SANDS RED HILL FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TRAVELING AROUND 45MPH.

TRAVELING NORTH BOUND ON INTERSTATE 77. HEAVY (5PM) TRAFFIC. I WAS IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE. WITHOUT WARNING THROTTLE RESPONSE DIED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT ON THE RPM. ENGINE WENT TO A ROUGH IDLE SPEED (VARYING BETWEEN 800 AND 1500 RPM). I WAS FORCED TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT HIGHWAY MARGIN. STOPPED THE CAR. TURNED OFF IGNITION. WAITED 60 SECONDS TO COMPOSE MYSELF. CAR THEN STARTED AND RAN FLAWLESSLY. I THEN DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THIS CAR / BRAND NEW IN 2010. (APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE IT DIED). A CURSORY INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT FORD HAS REPLACED OVER 27,000 FUSION THROTTLE BODIES ON 2010'S, UNDER WARRANTY. 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 FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT I DID NOT CAUSE A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. IT?S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME TILL SOMEONE DIES! *TR

SUDDENLY, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND AS I PRESSED THE GAS, THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP. I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND SO HAPPEN TO BE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE DURING AFTERNOON TRAFFIC. IT WAS A VERY SCARY MOMENT. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITHOUT CAUSING OR GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. ONCE I CAME TO A STOP, THE CAR SEEMED TO SHAKE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT TWO MINS AND STARTED IT BACK. I STAYED IN THE RIGHT LANE AS I TRAVELED HOME BUT ABOUT 10 MILES LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. TODAY WHICH IS THE 2ND OF OCTOBER THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING, COMING FROM MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. THIS IS ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!! *TR

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A RED LIGHT. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. CHECKED BOTH WAYS & PROCEEDED TO MAKE MY TURN (WHEN MAKING A TURN ON RED, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY MAKE THE TURN, OBVIOUSLY). MY CAR LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER AND RESPONSE TO THE ENGINE. MY MPH DROPPED DRASTICALLY LOW AND CAR STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER BACK AND FOURTH. I WAS LEFT LIKE A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. TWO CARS SWERVED OUT OF THEIR WAY, ALMOST HITTING ME IN THE PROCESS (AS THIS WAS A 4 LANE ROAD/HIGHWAY). I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME ALSO. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, WRENCH ICON CLEARED AND CAR DROVE AS NORMAL. HOWEVER, 3.5 MILES LATER CAR DOES THE SAME EXACT THING. THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND EXPLAINED IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY 3YR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED WHICH VOIDS MY WARRANTY OUT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT EVEN HIT 36,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE YET! NO RECALLS ARE BEING ISSUED. NO HELP/ASSISTANCE IS BEING GIVEN TO CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. FORD ESTIMATED ME AT AROUND $450-500 FOR REPLACEMENT! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP. I AM EXTREMELY HARD-WORKING AND THOUGHT I BOUGHT A RELIABLE VEHICLE (AT LEAST FOR A WHILE)...DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE A $500 REPAIR BEFORE 36K MILES EVEN HITS! IT IS 100% A SAFETY HAZARD, NO MATTER EVEN IF FORD CLAIMS IT IS NOT ... "THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO IDLE STILL AND BE ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE ROAD SAFELY IN THE EVENT THIS OCCURS" ..... QUITE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE WHEN THE CAR IS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

LAST YEAR I HAD BOUGHT ONE (2010 SEL) <VIN:[XXX]> THAT SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I HAD TO PAY $500 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE A THROTTLE BODY. UPON DOING RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN AND VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR THE FORD FUSION AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. FAST FORWARD TO 2013, I PURCHASED MY SECOND FORD FUSION <VIN: [XXX]> ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS AGO. LAST WEEK THE SAME ISSUE STARTED YET AGAIN,THIS CAR HAD MUCH LESS MILES, A MUCH MORE UPGRADED VERSION, AND WAS BOUGHT IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STATE YET THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE OCCURRED. I HAD TO ONCE AGAIN PAY TO HAVE THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN FORD ISSUE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND AS I CONSUMER I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, AND I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY REFUNDED. I ALSO THINK THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN FORD ISSUE, SUCH THAT NO ONLY DO DEALERSHIPS STOCK THESE SPECIFIC PARTS, THEY CREATED A SPECIFIC TEST FOR IT, AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE HELP RESPONSIBLE. ONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SCARED THAT THEY WILL DIE ON THE HIGHWAY FROM THE CAR CUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE EITHER ALL MY MONEY REFUNDED OR THE MONEY I PAID THIS TIME. I HAVE CALLED FORD BOTH TIMES AND COMPLAINED AND OPENED CASES, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN IGNORED. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS.

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. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY DISHEARTENING, AND I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION FROM FORD AS TO WHY THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY STALLED. THE ENGINE STILL APPEARED TO BE RUNNING (MINIMAL RPMS), BUT I COULDN'T ACCELERATE, SO THE SLOWDOWN TO A CRAWL WAS RATHER DRAMATIC. I WAS ABSOLUTELY LUCKY I WAS NOT INJURED AS I WAS NEARLY CLIPPED BY AN 18-WHEELER AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE WRENCH-SHAPED LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED, BUT WHILE WAITING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY MY BATTERY SHORTED OUT. THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP (WILLIS FORD OF SMYRNA, DELAWARE) WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ANY "CODES" FROM THE TEST THEY RUN. SO ALL THEY ENDED UP DOING WAS REPLACING MY BATTERY. I PICKED MY CAR UP THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON AND IT SEEMED FINE. HOWEVER, THE NEXT MORNING (THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE 4TH, THE SECOND ON THE 6TH), THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ALBEIT I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH. ONCE AGAIN, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN DOVER, DELAWARE (WINNER FORD) ALSO COULD NOT GET THE CODE. BUT AFTER MY RESEARCH AND EXPLANATIONS, THEY WERE IN ROUGHLY 80% AGREEMENT THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, SO WITH MY PERMISSION THEY REPLACED IT. THAT WAS ON THE 11TH OR 12TH. THEY HAD KEPT IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND DROVE IT THEMSELVES TO TRY AND GET THE SITUATION TO REPLICATE, WHICH THEY COULDN'T DO. SINCE IT HAS BEEN REPLACED, IT HAS NOT HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT OF THIS PROCESS, BUT KNOWING THAT THERE'S AN INVESTIGATION MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE LESS CRAZY. *TR

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.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE REGISTERED IN MY STATE I HAD TO HAVE AN EMISSIONS TEST DONE. AT SOME POINT DURING THE TEST THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM DETECTED A FAULT THAT DISABLED THE POWER STEERING. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE TRIP COMPUTER LISTED THE FOLLOWING ERRORS: "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCED TRAC". I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE EPS SYSTEM. THEY STATED THIS WASN'T AN ISSUE THAT COULD BE FIXED OTHER THEN REPLACING THE WHOLE POWER STEERING RACK. THE DEALER IS CHARGING $1,854.52 FOR THE JOB. I HAVE LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. I WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME BUT THE TEST DID INVOLVE DRIVING THE CAR ON A DYNAMOMETER UP TO SPEEDS OF AROUND 60 MPH. IF THE SYSTEM FAILED THEN, IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT ANYTIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SYSTEM SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IT DETECTS AN ISSUE. DRIVING THE CAR, AND SUDDENLY LOOSING POWER STEERING IS A SCARY CONCEPT. THESE SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE UNRELIABLE AND PUT THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES AT RISK. WHEN READING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ABOUT THESE ERROR CODES IT STATES THAT THE SYSTEM WILL SHUT OFF WHEN IT DETECTS A FAULT. BUT THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" PROBLEM FOR CARS. WITH A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. *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

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

WHEN I DRIVE ON I26 IN NC GOING UP HILL. GAS PEDDLER JUST QUIT WORKING AND SLOW SPEED DOWN FAST. I WAS HURRY PULL OVER. DANG 18 WHEELER IS PISS OFF ME FOR FRONT OF TRUCK. THEY BLOW HORN LOUD WHICH I KNOW THEY MAD ME. I HAVE NO CHOICE TO PULL FRONT TRUCK BECAUSE THEY CAN SLOW DOWN. I NOT WANT CAR IN MIDDLE OF HWY. THAT SCARE ME. I TURN OFF FOR MIN TO CALM DOWN MY SELF. THEN I TRY START AGAIN AND GAS PEDDLER BACK WORKING. BUT NEXT DAY I WAS IN LOCAL STORE IT DID AGAIN SO I PULL OVER SIDE RD I DID HIT MAILBOX BECAUSE I CAN NOT SPEED UP. FORD DEALER ACT LIKE THEY NOT KNOW WHY. AFTER I READ WEBSITE LEARN THAT MANY OF 2010 FUSION HAVE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT BACK SHOW THE PRINT. HE SAY OHOH YEAH I KNOW THIS THEN SAY 400 DOLLAR CHANGE PART IN JUST 30 MIN. I REFUSE BUY BECAUSE HE LIE TO ME. WHAT CAN I DO? WHAT IS CORRECT PRICE? *TR

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

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

MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND TURNED OFF 3 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. THE FIRST TIME AT ABOUT 9PM I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF GOING AT ABOUT 65 MPH. IT WAS SCARY AS THE CAR SEEMED TO JERK AND SWERVE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. I HAD TO CRUISE OFF TO THE RIGHT BUT WITH TRAFFIC BLOWING BY SO FAST AND MY CAR DROPPING SPEED SUPER FAST I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON ABOUT 10 MIN LATER AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. ABOUT 5 MILES LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN AT A SLOWER SPEED APPX. 15MPH. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR NO LONGER STARTED. I GOT TOWED HOME. TODAY 9/16/13 MY CAR STARTED AND I DROVE TO MY NEAREST FORD SERVICE CENTER (SUNRISE FORD NORTH HOLLYWOOD). WHILE ON MY WAY MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I WAITED 5 MIN. AND IT STARTED AGAIN. MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED ($150.00) AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME APPRX $480. THIS INCLUDES DIAGNOSTIC, PARTS AND LABOR. OH AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PART IS BACK ORDERED. POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS ISSUE AND MY 3 YEAR 36000 MILES EXPIRED. I WAS HAVING JERKING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES, I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THAT I HAD A BAD BATTERY. *TR

DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY, THE CAR ENGINE QUITS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND STALLS WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CARS POWER BRAKES AND STEERING FAIL TO WORK CREATING A VERY UNSAFE EVENT. FORD HAS HAD HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, IF FACT THEY HAVE SEVERAL CARS WAITING FOR PARTS (THROTTLE BODY) TO REPAIR IN THEIR BACK LOT. I HAVE BEEN PROMISED BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THE PART WOULD BE SHIPPED FOR OVER THREE OR FOUR WEEKS, BUT THEY HAVE SHIPPED NONE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURE ON BACK ORDER OR PUTTING THE PARTS IN "NEW" CARS TO SELL. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOING THIS TIME. FORD REFUSES TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR SINCE MY CAR IS "OUT OF WARRANTY", IN THE MEAN TIME, THEY WILL NOT SHIP THE PART TO REPAIR. IF, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE MODELS, WHY HAS THIS NOT BE A RECALL BY FORD TO FIX OR FURNISH A REPLACEMENT WHILE THEY CAN'T SEND THE PART TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM. (WHEN THE CAR QUITS AT 35-60MPH IN TRAFFIC, THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.) *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH ON A SIX LANE DIVIDED ROAD, THE WRENCH CAUTION LIGHT APPEARED (INDICATING TRANSMISSION/THROTTLE MALFUNCTION). THE ENGINE RPM IMMEDIATELY DROPPED AND BEGAN FLUCTUATING AROUND 1,000 AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR INPUTS. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE CLEAR OF TRAFFIC. THE MAXIMUM SPEED THAT COULD BE ATTAINED AT THE FLUCTUATING RPM WAS 14 MPH. IT IS A MIRACLE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN REAR END COLLISION AS THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WAS 45MPH. CAR WAS ALLOWED TO IDLE AT THE REDUCED RPM WHILE DRIVER INSPECTED THE ENGINE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON (WITH A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE TURNING OVER). THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ONCE ON 26AUG2013, FOUR TIMES ON 13SEP2013, AND ONCE ON 14SEP2013. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE LAST OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP DUE TO ONLY HAVING 1,400 MILES LEFT ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO PULL P2111 CODE. AFTER RECEIVING AN EXORBITANT QUOTE FOR THE REPAIR ($230 FOR PART, $280 FOR LABOR) WITH NO ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE FOR THE BACKORDERED PART, THE REPAIR WAS DENIED TO ALLOW FOR FURTHER RESEARCH. THE DEALER HAS ABSOLUTELY NO QUALMS RELEASING THE CAR WITH A KNOWN MALFUNCTION, PRESENTING A HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. A CAR THAT IMMEDIATELY DECELERATES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS DANGEROUS AS AN UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY/DEATH, FORD SHOULD ISSUE AND IMMEDIATE RECALL FOR THE FAILING THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO-LANE PAVED ROAD IN A 50 MILE AN HOUR ZONE WHEN I FELT THE CAR START TO DECELERATE. I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AT THE INTERSECTION OF A SIDE ROAD WHERE I SHUT THE CAR OFF. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND PROCEEDED OUT INTO THE MAIN ROAD. LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE AGAIN AND I TURNED ONTO MY STREET AND COASTED TO A STOP. BOTH TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH CAME ON. WHEN I HAD THE CAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED, I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR'S THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED.

10 MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A SO CALLED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED CAR, ON OR ABOUT AUG 24TH I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY STREET AT N APPROX SPEED OF 40 MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. AFTER BEING IN THE SVC DEPT FOR 4 DAYS I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS FIXED AND CHARGED A $100 DEDUCTIBLE FOR NOTHING, AS I WAS LEAVING THE DEALER I NOTICED MY RPMS ACTING UP AND BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE LOT I MADE IT AWARE TO SVC ADVISOR HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AFTER THE SVC PERFORMED ON MY CAR AND TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS ON A 8 LANE HWY DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 65-70 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OFF ALL LANES AND WAS UNABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER IN A SECURE AREA. IT WAS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WAS IN EXTREME DANGER EXPECTING A DISASTER TO HAPPEN BEHIND ME. I STAYED IN MY CAR AND MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED AND TOOK ME TO MY DEALER, A DAY LATER I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT MY WARRANT DID NOT COVER IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600+ TO REPAIR, I ASKED THE ADVISOR TO NOT TOUCH THE CAR THAT I WOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY AS I FIND IT UNFAIR TO PAY SUCH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH FOR A SO CALLED CERTIFIED CAR I PURCHASED NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO. COME TO FIND OUT IM NOT ALONE, THERE ARE MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY FORD ASAP. *TR

TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. CAR STARTS SHAKING AND SLOWS TO NOTHING. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AT THE TIME BECAUSE THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE & THEN SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. VERY FRIGHTENING AND SHOCKING. SO THANKFUL MY GRANDSON WAS NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE 2ND TIME IT OCCURRED, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT AND HE TURNED OUT ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD & IT TURNED OFF ON HIM. ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT LEAST 55 MILES PER HOUR CAME UPON HIM BEFORE HE GOT IT RESTARTED & NEARLY REAR ENDED HIM. THANKFULLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME, BUT WERE QUITE ANGRY & BLOWING THEIR HORN BECAUSE THEY ASSUMED SOME FOOL HAD JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY! THIS HAPPENS WITH NOT ENOUGH WARNING TO GET OFF THE ROAD & SOMETIMES THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE ANYWAY.THE CAR DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES AS MY HUSBAND DECIDED IT WAS GOING STRAIGHT FOR REPAIR. FORTUNATELY HE HAD CALLED ME & I WAS ABLE TO FOLLOW HIM IN ANOTHER VEHICLE HIM MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON FOR SAFETY.I KEPT A SAFE DISTANCE AND WAS ALERT FOR WHEN IT TURNED OFF. THIS MADE ME TRULY REALIZE, AS IT CONTINUED TO TURN OFF ON HIM, HOW VERY DANGEROUS THIS WAS FOR THE PERSON IN THE FUSION & FOR THE VEHICLE BEHIND THEM OR COMING INTO AN INTERSECTION. I KNEW TO BE AWARE, BUT OTHERS WOULDN'T BE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN INTERSECTIONS & WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAYS. WE KNOW WE CAN'T DRIVE THIS AND ARE TRYING TO GET IT FIXED, BUT APPARENTLY IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR FORD FUSIONS BECAUSE WE WERE JUST TOLD THERE IS A 3-6 MONTH WAIT FOR THE THROTTLE BODY PART WHICH IS THE PROBLEM. VERY FRUSTRATED AND FRIGHTENED FOR THOSE STILL DRIVING THESE VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CAR AND WHAT TRAGIC ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR.

I WAS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON IMMEDIATELY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THE CAR HAD AN ERROR CODE P2111.

FORD DOES NOT SEE A PROBLEM HERE AND SAID IT IS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE. HAD MY DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED TO HER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY WITH THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I WENT FROM 62 MILES PER HOUR, DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR IN A FEW SECONDS, MY WRENCH WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WERE ON, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I WAS NOT REAR ENDED OR THAT I WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS BEST I COULD, TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT AND TRIED TO MOVE, IT CHUGGED AND THERE WAS NOT ANY POWER. I SAT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, AND TRIED AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET ANOTHER COUPLE OF MILES TO WORK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THE COST IS $425.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX, MADE ME SICK. AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT A RECALL ITEM, IT IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN.

CAR RUN NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 140 ADDITIONAL MILES, THEN STALLED TO LOW POWER AND LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE YET AGAIN. TURNING OFF AND THEN TURNING BACK ON WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE VEHICLE TO RUN NORMAL AGAIN. TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP.

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

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.

THROTTLE BODY FAULTS W/OUT WARNING (FORD PART 9E926). WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE ENGINE LIGHT (WRENCH) APPEARED AND THE CAR ABRUPTLY LOST ACCELERATION DECREASING IMMEDIATELY FROM 70 MPH TO APPROX 10 MPH IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. ENGINE IDLE BOUNCED BETWEEN 1.5 AND 3.5 RPM CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD SON AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND NEARLY STRUCK SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS ON THE INTERSTATE STILL TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE I HAD TO SWITCH LANES LIMPING AT 10MPH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CLEAR THE ENGINE ERROR AFTER I REACHED THE SHOULD AND PROCEED. HOWEVER THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING WITHOUT THE ENGINE LIGHT THE RPM BOUNCES AROUND AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT IDLE PROPERLY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND LOST THRUST STALLING AND BLOCKING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN THE LAST MONTH I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS HAS OCCURRED 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK DURING NORMAL DRIVING. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO RECALL HOWEVER THE PART IS ON INDEFINITE BACK-ORDER AND UNAVAILABLE TO ME FOR REPAIR. IT MAY BE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE I CAN EVEN OBTAIN THE PART. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOT KNOWING WHEN IT'S GOING TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND HOPING THAT I AM NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE I WAIT FOR THE PART. THIS IS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

WHILE ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STUTTERED, LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER (NO ACCELERATION) AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE NEAREST SHOULDER WHILE LOSING SPEED. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR JITTERED AND TUGGED AND CONTINUED TO DO SO EVEN WHILE IN PARK! AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN WAITING A WHILE, IT STARTED UP WITHOUT THE ISSUE AND WITHOUT THE WRENCH LIGHT ON. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT WAS ORDERED BECAUSE IT WAS BACKORDERED AND ALSO THEY SAID WE WOULD NOT BE COVERED FOR THIS UNDER WARRANTY. I SUSPECT THEY KNOW OF THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE SO MUCH TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER. IT WOULD NOT DIE BUT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ACCELERATION. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THE IDLE WOULD GET VERY ROUGH.

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

A FEW DAYS WENT BY WITH NO ISSUES, THEN WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 45-50 MPH, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DROPPED SPEED IMMEDIATELY TO 5 MPH. I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PULL OFF IN THE GRASS AS ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME AND WE WERE GOING AROUND A CURVE. I STARTED CAR AGAIN AND DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES AND IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES. OUR MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR TWICE AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

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.

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

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WHERE I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. IT STARTED A LITTLE ROUGH SO I TURNED OFF THE AIR, AND IT DROVE FINE. I'M SEEING A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM OTHERS THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT ENDS UP BEING THE THROTTLE. I'M NOW DECIDING MY NEXT STEP. *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

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING THIS MORNING MY CAR SEEMED TO "SURGE". ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL A FEW TIMES AT STOP LIGHTS AND SUCH. THEN WHILE GOING 45-50 MPH MY CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. THERE WAS A WRENCH LIGHT IN MY DASH THAT CAME ON. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR I RESTARTED IT AND IT RAN WITH THE SURGING PROBLEM UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. NO WRENCH LIGHT WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. *JB

ON AUGUST 18,2013 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN CAR WENT LIMP( DID NOT STALL), IDLE WAS VERY ROUGH. AFTER TRYING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, WE TURNED OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED CAR. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR THE NEXT WEEK. THEN ON AUGUST 25, 2013 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN, REPEATED TURNING ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. ON AUGUST 26, 2013, I WAS WAIT IN A DRIVE THROUGH AND THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING BY TWO FOOTING IT ( ONE FOOT ON GAS ALL THE TIME AND ONE ON BREAK AS TO NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME). I THEN CALLED MY MECHANIC AND WE REPLACED THE BATTERY SINCE IT READ WEAK, AND NO CODES COME UP WHEN PUT ON COMPUTER. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER HE DID RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM, HE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL PART. IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A DEATH ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN THE CAR GOES LIMP TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS AND SUCH. *JB

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED ON OUR 2010 FORD FUSION WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION. THANKFULLY THE FREEWAY WAS NOT TOO BUSY AND GETTING TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT POWER WAS POSSIBLE. I AM PAYING FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. AFTER READING SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT THE NHTSA LOOKING INTO THE SITUATION, I BELIEVE THIS MALFUNCTION (WHICH IS COMMON) POSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANTS A RECALL. LOSING ACCELERATION ABILITY WITHOUT WARNING AT THE WRONG TIME COULD PROVE FATAL FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS NEARBY. *JB

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND HIT THE 20-25 MPH MY CAR HESITATES TO GO INTO GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES IT JERKS. I TOOK IT INTO MY DEALERSHIP AND AT FIRST I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND TRANS CODES THEN I WAS TOLD THAT WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION. I WAS TOLD IT DID THIS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS COLD. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT DID THIS WHEN IT WAS COLD. UPON RESEARCHING KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE I CAME ACROSS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND AM WONDERING NOW IF THAT IS MY ISSUE WITHOUT THE STALLING ISSUE. WILL CONTINUE TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY UNTIL MY ISSUE IS TAKEN CARE OF. *JB

WITHIN 4 DAYS, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVE 4 EPISODES ON MY 11 MILE COMMUTE. THESE ISSUES DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC PROMPTED ME TO BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANY LONGER.

I SAFELY PULLED THE CAR OVER, AS I SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO "JERK". THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THIS WAS BY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 15-20 MIN. I PULLED BACK ON TO THE ROAD AND A VERY SHORT TIME LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND AGAIN IT WAS "FINE" (OPERATIONAL). I THEN MADE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED LATE ON A SATURDAY EVENING OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY AND ON MY WAY THERE IT WENT INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" 4 TIMES IN A 7 MILE COMMUTE. FORD DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM FORD IF THEY ARE GOING TO COVER THE EXPENSE AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL OUT AS THIS WAS GOING ON I'M ALSO TRYING TO TURN LEFT, WHICH WAS A LITTLE SCARY BECAUSE I BASICALLY CUT SOMEONE OFF WHILE TURNING BECAUSE, I HAD NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER TO AVOID THEM.

AS I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I FELT THE CAR SORT OF SLIP OUT OF GEAR. IT BEGAN SLOWING DOWN SO I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND SHORTLY AFTER, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED. I COASTED DOWN THE HILL AND PULLED OVER. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT SEEMED TO BE FINE FOR 5 SECONDS AND THEN THE TWO LIGHTS REAPPEARED. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND LUNGING FORWARD. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME, LUCKILY, SO I COASTED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IS A MAJOR KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION. I'M WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

MOST RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION AROUND 25 MPH, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN, BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF, AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. MY RPM'S DROPPED AND MY WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT APPEARED FINE. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THIS CAR IS A BRAND NEW 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 68,000 MILES. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM/EXPENSE AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED. SIDE NOTE: I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT IT. THE OTHER PROBLEM RELATED TO TRANSMISSION "REVVING" THAT OCCURRED WHEN DECELERATING AROUND 25-40 MPH OR BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD MY VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY COMPLETED COMPUTER RESETS AND RAN OTHER TESTS. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. WE ESCALATED TO THE BBB AND WAS AWARDED A FORD FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER INSPECTION AND HAD A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER INSTALLED. THE ISSUES I DESCRIBED COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE DIED WITH NO WARNING AND THE RPMS DROPPED. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST AND I FEEL LUCKY TO BE UNHURT. I HAVE A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR TILL IT IS FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THEY SAY THE CIRCUIT BOARD IS FAULTY AND IS SENDING THE ENGINE THE WRONG SIGNAL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED . PLEASE ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF OTHER COMPLAINTS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME DOING ABOUT 50 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT FINALLY STOPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 2-3 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY 824.00 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS NEWS STORIES ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM. *TR

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 DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED OFF THE KEY TO RESET THE ALARM CODE. THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 2 MILES, THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN. WITHIN 5 MILES THE CAR WOULD BARELY RUN AT ALL, THE ENGINE WAS MIS-FIRING AND CLUNKING ALONG AT 2 MPH AND STALLING EVERY FEW FEET. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, AND THEN WITHIN 5 MILES IT WAS COMPLETELY UN-DRIVABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY, COST $525 TO REPAIR. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE LOCAL STORE AND CAME UP TO A LIGHT. AS I STARTED TO TURN RIGHT AND ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT ABOUT 1000 RPM'S. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT APPEARED. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND GOT NO MORE THEN 100 YARDS WITHOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING AGAIN. I REPEATEDLY DID THIS UNTIL I MANAGED TO GET HOME. A TOW TRUCK TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD SO THEY REPLACED IT. I'M THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

Mileage: 99,308

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

WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE AND AS MY SON BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE CAR LOST POWER. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMALLY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. BUT AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AFTER COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN IT BRIEFLY REGAINED POWER BUT THE CAR WENT ONLY ABOUT 100FT BEFORE LOSING POWER AGAIN. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR 20 MINUTES WE WERE ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE THE REMAINING HALF MILE HOME. WE HAD DISMISSED THE FIRST INCIDENT AS POSSIBLY BEING A MISTAKE ON THE PART OF MY SON DRIVING AN UNFAMILIAR VEHICLE AND PERHAPS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. BUT THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS CLEARLY AN INDICATION OF A FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, A LOSS IN POWER COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE US HELPLESS WITHOUT POWER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY. THEY REPLACED IT AT A COST TO US OF $537. A THROTTLE BODY THAT FAILS AT LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO VAN BORTEL FORD IN EAST ROCHESTER NY FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WE NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY ($465.34) AND A NEW BATTERY ($123.90) ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR.

SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY FUSION BRAND NEW, IT LEFT ME STRANDED 6 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A WRENCH LIGHT ON AND NO ACCELERATION. AFTER A TREMENDOUS TOW BILL THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER (YES I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) I HAD MY CAR BROUGHT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND FOUND TO BE AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. YESTERDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, IT STARTED DOING THE SPUTTERING AND JERKING AGAIN AND THAT WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER CONTROL TO MY VEHICLE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MINS IT DID CRANK BACK AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS SAYING ALL I CAN DO IS PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT AND IT IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE.

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.

TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE, THE ONLY CODE THAT CAME UP WAS THAT MY "FUEL DOOR STUCK OPEN". WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, BECAUSE IT CAME WITH A "RACING CAP" I.E NO TWIST-OFF CAP. DROVE FINE FOR TWO MONTHS, THEN CAME BACK SOMETHING AWFUL TO THE TUNE OF FREEWAY 75MPH TO ZERO, AT WHICH POINT IT WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND BARELY MADE IT HOME DUE TO NUMEROUS STALLS.

FORD FUSION 2010 HAS DEFECTIVE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM/COMPUTER IDENTIFYING THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE NON-FUNCTIONAL PART CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO SELF AND OTHERS. AT 60 MPH FREEWAY SPEED THE CAR GOES INTO AN INSTANT "LOW RPM MODE", CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF FOOT PEDAL CONTROL AND RPM IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO 800. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS AN UNGUIDED MISSILE LOOKING TO STRIKE SOMETHING. THE POWER STEERING IS NON EXISTENT. MY CAR DID THIS ON 8-19-2013 WITH ONLY 12303 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OF THE THROTTLE BODY SENSING CIRCUITRY BEING DEFECTIVE. IT IS ONLY A LITTLE MORE TIME UNTIL THIS GETS SOMEONE KILLED. AFTER STOPPING WITH A DEAD ENGINE, STARTING AGAIN RESULTS IN VERY ROUGH IDLING AND NO MORE THAN 800 RPM, WHICH IS INCAPABLE OF MOVING THE CAR. SHUTOFF THE IGNITION, CHECK AND HAVE GOOD OIL AND TRANSMISSION AND COOLING LEVELS. STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL, UNTIL ONE BLOCK LATER AT A STOP LIGHT......SAME THING AGAIN.

AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD MY RPM NEEDLE WOULD BOUCE AND FEEL THE GEARS HAVING TROUBLES CHANGING. AT THAT POINT WHEN THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE MECHANIC LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND DISENGAGE MY CAR NOT ALLOWING ME TO USE THE GAS. AFTER PULLING OVER THE CAR WOULD STILL REV AND SHAKE TO MOVE FORWARD. UPON PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNING OFF ALL WAS NEEDED WAS TO RE-START THE CAR AND WOULD BE GOOD. ONLY UNTIL RECENTLY THE PROBLEM ONLY INCREASED. I HAD A 30 MINUTE COMMUTE THAT TOOK 1 HOUR AND SINCE THE CAR WOULD DISENGAGE I HAD TO SWERVE AND VEAR TRAFFIC JUST TO PULL OVER INTO A SAFE LOCATION.

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 HAD JUST PICKED UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AND WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT I HAD TOO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (WHICH IS ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE) WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND HAD SHUT OFF, I HAD NO CONTROL OF COURSE AND ROLLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF AN ONCOMING SCHOOL BUS THAT WAS IN OTHER LANE. THE BUS HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO AVOID HITTING US. IT CRANKED RIGHT BACK UP BUT SEEMED A LITTLE SLUGGISH. MY LITTLE GIRL WAS SCREAMING FOR ME TO TURN (WHICH I WAS TRYING BUT COULD DO NOTHING) SHE WAS VERY UPSET AND CRYING. IT NEVER SHOWED ANY SIGN OF PROBLEMS BEFORE HAND. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING IT WAS NOT A FORD DEALER IT WAS USED WHEN WE BOUGHT IT WITH 50000 MILES. I CONTACTED A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID UNLESS IT SHOWED A SIGN THEY COULD DO NOTHING I HAVE TRIED OTHER MECHANICS AND NOTHING. WE DID HAVE THROTTLE BODY CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF IT SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING AND IT IS A REGULAR BASIS IT SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO GO WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR.IT SEEMS SLOW TO RESPOND. THE SHUTTING OFF OF THE CAR ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IM TRYING TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION THEN IT WILL DIE RIGHT AFTER IT STARTS GOING. THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS AND NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. WE HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG SO WE CANT GET RID OF IT DUE TO THE NEGATIVE WE HAVE IN THE CAR AND CANT AFFORD HIGHER PMT. I WILL NEVER GO WITH FORD AGAIN NOT SAYING THAT ALL ARE LIKE THIS, BUT ONE BAD APPLE CAN SPOIL THEM ALL FOR ME. *TR

WHILE DOING 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT IT WAS AS IF IT WAS IN IDLE. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. THE IDLE WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH. THERE WAS A 'WRENCH' INDICATOR LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AS I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT WAS VERY ROUGH TO START THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IDLE WAS NORMAL. I DROVE WITHOUT A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 20 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED IN THE EXACT SAME MANNER. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THIS TIME, THE 'WRENCH' LIGHT WAS OFF, BUT THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT WAS ON AND REMAINED ON. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THE THROTTLE-BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. *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

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SIDE STREET GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER, WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE CAR SHOOK AND STALLED OUT. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND MANAGED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BEFORE IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WERE ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME "IT'S PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY" THEY TOLD ME THE REPAIRS COULD TAKE MONTHS BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FUSION. PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT MY CAR HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING IMPROPERLY AND WOULD STALL OUT WHILE STOPPED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE MY CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHICH ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL INDICATES A POSSIBLE POWERTRAIN/TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

A WRENCH LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT WORK I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WHEN I STOPPED MY CAR THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS TREMBLING SO I TURNED IT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN TURNED IT BACK ON SURPRISINGLY THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE CAR WORKED FINE AGAIN. I KEPT DRIVING CAREFULLY AT A SPEED OF 60 NOW AND 20 MILES LATER IT STALLED AGAIN. MY CAR AT THE MOMENT IS AT 43,000 MILES I BOUGHT IT NEW IN JUNE 2010. I TOOK IT TO O'REILLYS SO THEY CAN TROUBLESHOOT AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I CONTINUED TO CALL A FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE I STILL HAVE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE SALES REP. SAID IT DID NOT COVER THE THROTTLE BODY. AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WILL COST ME $93.00 TO FIND THE PROBLEM, $150.00 FOR THE SERVICE AND $400.00 FOR THE PART. I AM A NMSU STUDENT LIVING IN TEXAS AND DRIVE 30 MILES EVERYDAY TO SCHOOL AND SADLY CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENSE. I'M AFRAID TO KEEP DRIVING IT CAUSING TO GET REAR ENDED WHILE THE CAR STALLS OR EVEN WORST CAUSING A CAR INCIDENT LEAVING INJURIES. *TR

DIDN'T KNOW I COULD SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. FOUND OUT LATER BY DOING RESEARCH IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT IS WHAT IT IS. COSTING ME 600 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THEY CONSIDER IT A HAZARD. NOTICED AFTER DOING RESEARCH THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON ALOT OF 2010 - 2012 FORD FUSIONS. NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. IT COMPLETELY CEASED TO FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. FORTUNATELY, MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT INJURED. HOWEVER, IF THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AS SHE DROVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. AFTER DURING SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS. IT TOOK CLOSE TO A WEEK FOR THE PART TO COME IN - BECAUSE - THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME - THERE WAS A HUGE WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART BECAUSE THEY KEEP FAILING. (PLUS, SHE WAS WITHOUT A CAR.) HE TOLD ME THAT FORD REALLY DOESN'T SEE THE NEED FOR A RECALL AT THIS TIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE COULD DIE. ON ONE OCCASION, HER CAR FAILED GOING DOWN A VERY STEEP AND WINDING HILL. FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. FORD'S ATTITUDE ABOUT THIS IS CRIMINAL. MY OTHER DAUGHTER ALSO HAS A FUSION. I WORRY DAILY ABOUT HER SAFETY. I AM CONSIDERING GETTING THE THROTTLE BODY CHANGED JUST TO KEEP HER SAFE. *TR

DROVE NEXT 15 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. 8/12/13 DRIVING IN TOWN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES THE SAME THING OCCURRED. AFTER THREE CRANKING CYCLES IT RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME WITH NO LIGHTS. PLUGGED SCANNER IN AT HOME AND FOUND CODE ON FREEZE FRAME OF P2111 INDICATING THROTTLE STUCK OPEN. LOOKED ONLINE IN FORD FUSION FORUM AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE. FORD INDICATES THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. I BELIEVE THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR LOSING THROTTLE RESPONSE IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION FOR HER TO BE IN, ESPECIALLY IF THIS OCCURS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

IT RAN ROUGH, BUT WOULD ACCELERATE AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY 85 MILE JOURNEY HOME.

ON 8/2/2013, I WAS DRIVING ON I-68W NEAR ROCKY GAP, MD. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, THE CAR'S RPMS JUMPED UP TO 4000 RPMS FROM ITS NORMAL 2000 RPMS. I TRIED APPLYING THE BRAKES AND PUMPING THE GAS TO TRY TO GET THE CAR TO OPERATE NORMALLY. AFTER 30 OR 40 SECONDS, THE CAR RETURNED TO 2000 RPMS. THIS REPEATED A COUPLE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. EVENTUALLY, I WAS GOING UP A MOUNTAIN,WHEN THE CAR'S RPMS DROPPED TO 1000. THE CAR DECELERATED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE AMBER WRENCH SYMBOL WAS LIT. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY BUT ACCELERATION WAS SOMEWHAT SLUGGISH. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY VEHICLE ERROR CODE WERE PRESENT. NONE WERE. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THE CAR WASN'T USED TO THE MOUNTAIN DRIVING. A FEW DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ALONG MD-100W (A VERY FLAT ROAD) AND THEN PULLED INTO A LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR LOST POWER. I IMMEDIATELY HOOKED UP A CODE READER AND GOT A P2112. I GOOGLED THIS ERROR CODE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD FUSIONS.

I COASTED IT OFF THE INTERSTATE, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE, SO I WAS ABLE TO DO THIS RATHER EASILY. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED, IT BEGAN SHUDDERING AND SHAKING, IDLING VERY ROUGH. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I GOT MY WITS BACK AS I WAS IN A PANIC BEING 156 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, AND STILL 800 MILES AWAY FROM MY DESTINATION, I TRIED TO CONTINUE DRIVING BECAUSE I COULDN'T TELL WHERE I WAS AT. THE CAR CREPT ALONG EXTREMELY SLOW, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO READ THE SIGN, I WAS HALF A MILE FROM THE ALTOONA RD EMERSON EXIT 283. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO CALL SOMEONE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF MULTIPLE DROPPED CALLS, I TRIED TO START THE CAR, AND IT DID. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE EXIT AND AS I WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE OFF RAMP, IT STALLED. I TRIED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO LOVE'S TRUCK STOP. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED 156 MILES BACK HOME. IT'S SITTING IN MY YARD, I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET WITH IT, I'M TOO DISGUSTED AS I JUST BOUGHT IT A MONTH AGO, AND HAVE BEEN READING NUMEROUS INCIDENTS JUST LIKE MINE.

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT MORNING AND AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE ALL DAY I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND JUST RESET THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS PROBABLY A MALFUNCTION WITH THE COMPUTER THAT SENT A SIGNAL TO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THAT COST ME $103 TO JUST RESET THE COMPUTER. THEN 4 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS TO ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. I DID THE SAME THING BY PUTTING IT IN PARK, SHUTTING IF OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO CHECK THE NEXT MORNING BEINGS IT WAS AFTER HOURS AND THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME.

WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL FORTHCOMING. I BELIEVE THIS IS POTENTIALLY A LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY. I'M GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I NEED TRANSPORTATION AND HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED A LOANER FOR THE DURATION OF THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO GET THE NEW PART.

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. THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

Mileage: 21,000

THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM; I WAS ACCELERATING GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE ENGINE QUIT. I HAD TO PUT IT PARK AND RESTART IT, IN TRAFFIC. THIS SAME ISSUES HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, THE CAR JUST QUIT WHILE DRIVING. ON JULY 27TH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ALONG WITH A NEW ISSUE: I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT STARTED RUNNING RUFF AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

Mileage: 49,000

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AN EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UPON STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT RAN FINE BUT THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON AN EXPRESSWAY. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE BUT NO LIGHTS WERE ON AND IT DID NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. A FEW WEEKS LATER, DRIVING ON A STREET ROAD AT 35 MPH, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IT OCCURRED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I WENT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE THE NEXT DAY AND THEY PUT THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR AND FOUND THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE ACTIVATOR. I HAVE JUST LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE DEALER TODAY AND AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK IF THEY WILL FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR AS MY DAILY DRIVE TO WORK IS ON EXPRESSWAYS WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO A SHOULDER TO PARK ON. *TR

Mileage: 56,400

WHEN EXITING OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IN PARK, AND AS I WAS SHUTTING IF OFF IT SHOOK/RATTLED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND ON AUGUST 2, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AGAIN (TRAVELING APPROX. 70 MPH) I AGAIN LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, HOWEVER, THIS TIME I DIDN'T STOP OR SLOW DOWN BEFORE HAND. AGAIN I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT DOWN (STILL GOT THE RATTLE AND WRENCH LIGHT) AND RESTARTED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN ESPECIALLY ON THE EXPRESSWAY SINCE YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE REAR ENDED IN ADDITION TO NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO PULL OVER. I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL BE LOOKED INTO AND CORRECTED TO THE BEST OF FORD'S ABILITY BEFORE SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE CAR MAKES A MUFFLED CLUNKING NOISE AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS GOING TOWARDS 0. I PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR TURN IT BACK ON AND IT RUNS FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES AND DOES IT AGAIN, THIS TIME THE NOISE IS LOUDER, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN SMELL BURNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WILL BE ABOUT $600 TO REPAIR IT. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 34 DAYS AGO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN WINDBER, PA GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN WITH A TRI AXLE COAL TRUCK ON MY BUMPER, AS I WENT TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR MADE A POP NOISE. LOOKED DOWN AT MY DASH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT AWAY, I COULD NOT GET ANY GAS TO THE ENGINE, I TRIED TO GET OFF THE ROAD BUT THERE WAS NOT A SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY.I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY TURN SIGNAL ON AND THE CAR JUST COASTED ALONG THE SIDE UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY ON THE CURVE, MIGHT I ADD. I TURN MY CAR OFF AND CALLED MY HUSBAND TOLD HIM HE TOLD ME TO CALL LAUREL FORD AND SEE IF THEY COULD TOW IT FOR US. I LEFT THE CAR SIT BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO A APPOINTMENT IN SOMERSET I DID NOT WANT TO BE LATE, WHEN I RETURNED FROM THE APPOINTMENT THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP NO WRENCH LIGHT I DROVE TO LAUREL FORD, I WENT IN TALKED TO THE SERVICE REP THEY LOOKED OVER MY CAR AND ADVISED ME THAT THE COMPUTER DID NOT LOCATE A PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND WAS UNSURE WHEN HE COULD GET THE PART. I DROVE THE CAR HOME THAT DAY WITH NO PROBLEM, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN TO GO TO WORK ON TUEDAY 7 MILES FROM HOME THE CAR DID THE SAME THING WENT TO GIVE IT GAS AND THE CAR SHUT OFF I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND IT STARTED BACK UP NO WRENCH LIGHT. WENT TO WORK GOING HOME FROM WORK IT DID IT AGAIN AND NOT ONLY THE WRENCH LIGHT BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I GOT THE CAR HOME CALLED LAUREL FORD AND TOOK THE CAR TO THEM FOR REPAIR THERE IS NOT PART TO BE FOUND ITS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS I HAVE CALLED FORD AND HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A TIME OR DATE OF WHERE THE PART IS OR IF THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I CALLED FORD SERVICE TWICE AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER I FEEL THAT FORD HAS DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS NOT HAPPY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HWY GOING HOME. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY KIND OF NOTICE AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN I TRIED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN. I TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES THE REST OF MY WAY HOME. WITHOUT WARNING THE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. I'M BEING TOLD IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

Mileage: 58,000

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS, FROM DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME, A WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS NO FUEL GOING TO THE CAR AND WHEN I PULL TO THE SIDE, THE CAR STUTTERS LIKE IT WANTS TO GO AND THEN STOPS AGAIN. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT AGAIN, THE CAR DRIVES LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING AND FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO TAKE ACTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 , IN A SECTION OF HIGHWAY WITH NO BREAKDOWN LANE AND MULTIPLE HIGHWAYS MERGING TOGETHER, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER AND WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD BARELY BEING MISSED BY SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES AND TRUCKS. I SHUT CAR OFF AND STARTED AGAIN AND WAS OK AND ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. ONCE OFF HIGHWAY CAR KEPT LOOSING THROTTLE POWER EVERY MILE UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH 2010 FUSIONS AND THAT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL END OF OCTOBER!

AS THERE WAS A LINE OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, I QUICKLY TURNED ON MY 4-WAY FLASHERS AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR. THE ENGINE RESTARTED NORMALLY AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED WITH FULL THROTTLE FUNCTIONALLY. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME THREE MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT FORD IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AGAIN, I TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN RESTARTED AND AGAIN, THE CONDITION REPEATED AFTER SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND NO CODE WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE. THE CONDITION DID NOT REOCCUR FOR SIX WEEKS AND RESURFACED AGAIN WITH IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS. RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS TIME THEY AFFIRMED THE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE.

PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING, AND ALL MY ELECTRONICS STAYED ON. THE CAR DID NOT SHUTTER OR SHAKE, JUST A NATURAL SLOWDOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES QUICKLY ON THE FREEWAY AND PULL OVER. I STOPPED MY CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED AS NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES THAT DAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, BUT HAVE NOTICED ALL THE CLAIMS OVER THE MAST 2 MONTHS IN REGARD TO THIS ISSUE. I CALLED FORD AND THERE IS NO RECALL YET.

ON MORE THAT ONE RECENT OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS, THE CAR'S ENGINE WOULD START IDLING POORLY, AND THE CAR WOULD START COASTING AND NOT RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR ON 7/24/13, AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. FROM SEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON, AS MANY OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AT AROUND THE 30-35K MILE MARK OF OWNERSHIP. FROM THE INVOICE GIVEN TO ME BY THE DEALER AFTER THE SERVICE, THE ERROR CODE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY WAS P2111, WHICH IS DESCRIBED AT THE FOLLOWING WEB PAGE: HTTP://WWW.NCCONSUMER.ORG/NEWS%20ARTICLES/NCCC%20PETITIONS%20NHTSA%20FOR%20DEFECT%20INVESTIGATION%20INTO%20FORD%20ESCAPE%20VEHICLES.HTML I WAS ON A LOCAL ROAD WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND, BUT OTHERS DESCRIBED HAVING THE ENGINE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS ON HIGHWAYS.

THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN RURAL HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN. PULLED OVER, WAITED, RESTARTED, HOPING TO GET TO THE NEXT CITY. HOWEVER, AFTER ANOTHER 7 OR 8 MILES, IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN AND I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO DEAL. FORD SERVICE TOLD ME THIS WAS THE THIRD INSTANCE THEY HAD IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO, THAT FORD IS NOT PRODUCING THESE PARTS (FOR A KNOWN DEFECT!), AND THAT IT TOOK THEM EIGHT DAYS TO GET THE LAST PART. BESIDES THIS BEING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE THAT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!

JUST ADDING TO THE LIST. TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE POSTING A SAFETY COMPLAINT ABOUT THEIR 2010 FORD FUSION.

AFTER WORK I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER FINDING THIS OUT I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. WITHOUT A DOUBT, I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I GUESS IT TAKES SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THAT WILL HAPPEN THOUGH. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND PROBABLY WON'T BE THE LAST.

SOMETIMES IT WILL DO IT JUST ONCE AND OTHER TIMES, LIKE THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT DID IT 3 TIMES. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND FOR THOSE AROUND ME.

THE FIRST TIME, IT WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AS I LUCKILY VEERED TO THE SIDE AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED. IT TURNS OUT THERE WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE CONTROL: THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR WAS STUCK CLOSED (P2111), AND ALSO WOULD GET STUCK OPEN (P2112). THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THE AUTO SERVICE CENTER RAN THE TESTS AND TESTED MY VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THAT THROTTLE ASSEMBLY AND NOW MY CAR RUNS BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO, MY REAR PARKING AID BACK UP TONE IS OUT OF ORDER.

ALL THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER, SLOWLY GOING DOWN. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING, AND RIGHT AT THE BEST TIME I HIT THE BRAKE AND THE CAR TURNED OFF, IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP.

UPON RESTARTING, I WAS ABLE TO BEGIN TO DRIVE AND THE CAR DROVE FOR SEVERAL MILES AS NORMAL. THEN, THE CAR SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AGAIN, QUICKER THIS TIME, AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD WITH ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND COULD VERY NEARLY HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. IT APPEARS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY, AS SO MANY OTHER REVIEWERS HAVE CLAIMED. WHAT IS NOT UNDERSTANDABLE IS THAT THE PART IS BACK ORDERED. EVEN THOUGH MY HUSBAND CAN REPAIR IT HIMSELF, WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PART AND WAIT TO HAVE A CAR BACK. AS A FULL TIME TEACHER, I AM NOT SURE HOW FORD HAS NOT RECALLED SUCH A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE RELIABILITY OF THEIR AUTOMOBILES.

I DID AND THEIR RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM WAS "WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED YOU.WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOUR VEHICLE BE INSPECTED BY YOUR SERVICING FORD DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF ANY SYMPTOMS YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE EXPERIENCING. THEY HAVE FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS, COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE INFORMATION AND SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT TO HELP DIAGNOSE YOUR VEHICLE." RIGHT, MORE MONEY FOR THEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT IN AN ACCIDENT. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. IT'S OBVIOUS BY THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE. *TR

CAR ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY JERKED AND RPMS LOCKED AT 1000 NO MATTER WHAT WAS DONE WITH GAS PEDAL. DID NOT RECOVER UNTIL TURNED OFF AND THEN ON. REPEATED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. ALSO ENGINE WOULD STALL WHEN TRYING TO IDLE. RESOLUTION WAS REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. *TR

DRIVING CAR APPROX. 50 TO 60 MILES AN HOUR, ENGINE JUST STOPS, NO ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSURE. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON(FORD OWNERS MANUAL SHOWS IT TO BE THROTTLE BODY/DRIVE-TRAIN). THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUS TO YESTERDAY'S OCCURRENCE. WE BROUGHT THE CAR FROM DRIVETIME AND TOOK IT TO THEIR MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A STORED CODE, WAS I DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE TRUE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE CONCERNING SOME INCIDENT, WE NOTICED THAT OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING AND THE CAR JUST QUITS. APPARENTLY FORD KNOWS ABOUT BECAUSE A CAR A LOCAL DEALER AND THE PARTS DEPARTMENT HAS PARTS ON BACK ORDER. YESTERDAY, 7/10 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE WAS P2112(THROTTLE BODY STUCK CLOSED). SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

DRIVING ALONG ON A LOCAL ROAD (35 MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST MOST OF IT'S POWER AND STARTED SHAKING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A GAS STATION AND GET A TOW TO MY DEALERSHIP...THEY TELL ME IT'S THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND WILL COST ABOUT $500. GOING ONLINE TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IN THIS MODEL. THE SEVERITY OF THIS TYPE OF BREAKDOWN (SOME PEOPLE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY) AND WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER MAKES THIS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE TO BE DEALT WITH. I WAS LUCKY, BUT AM STILL OUT $500. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. *TR

Mileage: 113,000

WHILE I WAS UP TO SPEED (65 MPH), THE CAR'S WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND LOST POWER. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL FUNCTIONING, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TRIED THE CAR AGAIN, AND IT MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION, AND WENT TROUBLE-FREE ON THE RETURN TRIP HOME. THE CAR HAD THE SAME OCCURRENCE ON MONDAY, JULY 8. AT THAT TIME, I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO CAME AND TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER THAT SERVICES MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST: $387.00. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I GLIDED TO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED FINE. I DROVE IT A WEEK AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. WE BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NO RECORDINGS. THEY PERFORMED SOME MAINTENANCE AND NOW I SEE ON MY BILL A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "MAY NEED THROTTLE BODY IF CONCERN HAPPENS AGAIN" IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE 4TH OF JULY 2013, ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 70 MPH. THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE OVER TWO LANES AND GET ON THE SHOULDER. THE CAR BUCKED AND COUGHED A FEW TIMES AND WE TURNED IT OFF. WE WERE ABLE TO START AGAIN AND GO HOME, ALL OF US VISIBLY SHAKEN AND NOW VERY ANGRY AT THE DEALER. *TR

Mileage: 41,475

DRIVING ALONG AND VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE. CANNOT ACCELERATE. PULL OVER TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART. CAR STARTS UP AND RUNS FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHICH HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND MORE FREQUENT. CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY DEALER SO I HAVE TO BUT THE PART AND INSTALL IT MYSELF. NO CODES SHOW UP JUST A WRENCH. TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME WHAT TO REPLACE BUT IF I TAKE IT TO THEM THEY WILL CHARGE A FEE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THEN THEY CHARGE ANOTHER FEE FOR REPLACING THE PART. *TR

DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY 2010 FORD FUSION BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES PER HOUR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ALREADY IN THE FAR RIGHT TRAVEL LANE SO I COULD PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I CUT THE ENGINE AND WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY WORKPLACE. BASED UPON MY PRELIMINARY RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE INVESTIGATION AND STUDY OF THIS ISSUE WITH FORD TO INSTITUTE A RECALL TO RESOLVE SUCH ISSUES. *TR

Mileage: 84,500

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS GETTING NO GAS. IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND I ASSUMED THE UNDERCARRIAGE HAD GOTTEN IT WET. I STUTTERED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND STOP THE CAR. AFTER SITTING FOR 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. I THEN LET IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THE 10 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 2 MORE DAYS WITHOUT INCIDENT, THEN ON 7-5-2013 DURING A 30 MILE TRIP IT DID THE SAME THING. STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND SUDDENLY THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT COULD GET NO GAS. WE PARKED IT FOR AN HOUR AND MADE IT HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN TRYING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, CAR WOULD SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN ON A SIDESTREET! WAS A SCARY 2 MILE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 9 HOURS THEY FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE "THROTTLE ARM". AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, AND HAVING TO SPEND $427 TO GET THIS FIXED IS RIDICULOUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION AT AROUND 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. LUCKILY, I MANAGED TO GET MY VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WHEN I PLACED IT IN PARK, THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN I RE-STARTED IT, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THE STALL DID NOT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY AT A FASTER SPEED. A CO-WORKER OF MINE ALSO HAS A 2010 FORD FUSION AND HAD THIS SAME ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO. *TR

WE LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE STORE PARKING LOT. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR,STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC BEHIND OR ONCOMING WHILE MAKING THESE LEFT TURNS. WE GOT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, NOT UNDER WARRANTY, NOT ON RECALL, ADVISED AGAINST DRIVING OUR CAR, DID NOT HAVE A CAR FOR US TO DRIVE, WOULD NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL, AND THE PART WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH! WE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD THEM OUR SITUATION (MY WIFE IS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR A MONTH). THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR AND PUT US ON AN EXPEDITED LIST.

I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, HE SEEMED TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. $575.00 LATER I'M BACK ON THE ROAD.

I HAD TO PROCEED FOR A DISTANCE TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR MAYBE 5 MINUTES THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED TO BE OVER THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE "THROTTLE BODY" THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ON STOCK SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS PART... THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES NOW AND BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE I NEED TO REPLACE THE PART MYSELF AND NOT WAIT FOR FORD.

IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES ABOUT A MONTH A PART EACH TIME AND ALWAYS AFTER I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO WAIT OVER TWO WEEKS TO GET A NEW THROTTLE BODY. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

TRADED IN OUR FORD FREESTYLE TO PURCHASE USED 2010 FUSION VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2013 WITH 53,000 MILES AND A 30-DAY WARRANTY. THIS WAS OUR THIRD FORD VEHICLE AND WE'VE ENJOYED DEPENDABILITY, COMFORT AND SAFE DRIVING WITH OUR PREVIOUS FORDS, SO WE SAW NO NEED IN PURCHASING A WARRANTY. ONE MONTH LATER, WE WERE STRUCK BY HURRICANE SANDY. OUR HONDA CRV-06 PARKED ALONG SIDE THE FUSION WAS NEARLY TOTALED BY A DOWNED TREE BUT NOT A SCRATCH TO THE FUSION JUST FEW INCHES AWAY. NOW, WE WISH THAT THE FUSION WOULD HAVE BEEN IN IT' PLACE. WE NOTICED A RUBBING RIGHT AWAY TO FIND OUR THE STAMFORD DEALERSHIP SOLD US A CAR WITH SUMMER TIRES AND WARPED RIMS. DECEMBER 2012, LIGHT CAME ON WHICH LOOKED LIKE A FUEL CAP. THEY TOLD US IT'S A SENSOR AND WOULD COST $300.00 PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THEY RESET LIGHT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED SPITTING AND SPUTTERING (FELT LIKE IT HAD RAN OUT OF GAS) AND DISPLAYED THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. ALMOST A YEAR LATER (JUNE OF 2013) THE VEHICLE DID THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS TIME CUTTING IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. MY CAR WONT EVEN MAKE IT HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD NOW WITH OUT SHUTTERING AND SPUTTERING TO A STOP. *TR

I WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A MALL WHEN MY CAR'S ACCELERATOR QUIT WORKING. I LET OFF AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND STILL NOTHING. I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF. I LEFT IT OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTARTED. IT WORKED FINE AFTER THE RESTART. A FEW MILES LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH. I DID THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE AND AGAIN, MY CAR RAN FINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WAS PULLING INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I DECIDED TO JUST GO BACK HOME BEFORE I HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS AT NIGHT. A FEW MILES FURTHER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD A PARTS STORE HOOK UP A DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE AND GOT A "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN" CODE. I BEGAN TO GOOGLE THIS AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORDS DOING THIS, YET FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM A BIT FURIOUS THAT THEY WOULD KNOW THERE IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY WON'T ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS. *TR

I WAS ON THE CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY IN THE BRONX GOING WITH THE TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS IN THE SHOULDER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER WITH OUT ANYONE RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS JERKING LIKE CRAZY.

THE CAR'S THROTTLE-BODY FAILED INSTANTLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A MAJOR SECONDARY ROAD. THE FAILURE RESULTED IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND REQUIRED IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY ACTION TO GET OFF THE TWO TRAVEL LANES (DURING RUSH-HOUR IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA), AND NEARLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY FORD FUSION HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. 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. I WANTED TO SHARE MY INFORMATION SO SOMETHING MIGHT BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FORD THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO RESPONSE FROM MY GAS PEDAL AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I'M OKAY. BUT, ONCE I GOT UP TO SPEED AGAIN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR BACK HOME BY DRIVING ON BACK STREETS AT 25 MPH. USING MY ODB-II READER, I RETRIEVED CODE P2112 FROM MY CAR. THIS POINTS TO THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. *TR

Mileage: 45,995

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. IT WOULD REQUIRE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF FOR 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE. THIS HAPPENED 7-10 TIMES IN THE SAME DAY. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND STAYED ON. WE TOOK IT INTO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE WHO RAN IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS THE "THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR" WHICH REQUIRED REPLACING THE ENTIRE "THROTTLE BODY". THIS NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK EVERY TIME IT HAPPENED. *TR

I GET BACK IN AND THE CAR DRIVES FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN STUTTERS, NEARLY STALLS, AND LIMPS ALONG AGAIN. I RESTART THE CAR AGAIN, AND AGAIN IT'S FINE.

THE ENGINE DID NOT SEEM TO BE RUNNING SO I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND WAITED 20 SECONDS OR SO AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CAR CRANKED MANY TIMES BUT THEN STARTED BACK UP AND WAS FINE FOR THE NEXT 5 DAYS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHECK IT OUT. TWO DAYS LATER THEY STILL HAD NOT LOOKED AT IT SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK. 5 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I CAME TO A STOP JUST AROUND A CORNER AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME AND THIS TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT. THEY SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED A SHIPMENT THAT DAY. THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THESE THROTTLE BODIES HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR WEEKS. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS SERVICE SHOULD BE DONE AS A RECALL SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

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.

HE SAID IT CAN BE 7-10 DAYS BEFORE THE PART COMES IN. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ANY PASSENGER CAN GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR INJURED IF GOING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS PART GOES OUT.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE GAS THE CAR STALLED. AT LEAST I THOUGHT. BROUGHT IT TO FORD ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AN WERE NEVER ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AS THEY COULD NOT RE-ENACT THE ISSUE. THEN TIME WENT ON IT SEEMED OK. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 40-50MPH AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULDN'T DRIVE IT JUST SORT OF PUTTED BUT DIDN'T TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN CAR OFF RESTART AND WENT. BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AS IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN THEY TOOK FOR RIDE. I HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN THE NEXT DAY ONLY TRAVELING AT APPROX. 25 MPH AND CALLED FORD. BROUGHT IT IN AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THAT MAYBE IT WAS A BAD TANK OF GAS. THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IS THAT IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE THE GAS ISN'T GETTING WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO AND THE CAR WONT GO. THIS PAST THURSDAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT TRAFFIC HOUR ON A MAJOR 5 LANE HIGHWAY I WAS DOING ABOUT 55MPH AND IT HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE RIGHT LANE PUT MY FLASHERS ON. I TOOK A BREATH AS I WAS WORRIED I WAS GONNA GET HIT BY THE ON FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN, AND FINE. NO ERROR LIGHTS NO NOTHING. I BEGIN TO PROCEED AGAIN PRAYING IT WOULD GET ME HOME. I NOW AM AT APROX. 55 MPH AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS TIME I AM IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH AN ONCOMING LANE AND NO WHERE TO GO. PUT MY FLASHERS ON, SCARED OUT OF MY MIND CALL FOR HELP. POLICE COME AND I AM SITTING IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC PRAYING NOT TO BE HIT.. THE OFFICER ASKS IF I AM OUT OF GAS I SAY NO, I HAVE APPROX. 150 MILES TO EMPTY. HE ASKS ME TO TURN CAR ON AND IT STARTS. HE FOLLOWS ME TO GET ME TO A SAFE PLACE TO WAIT FOR HELP. I WAS TOWED HOME AND THE EARLIEST FORD COULD SEE ME IS THE 3RD. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN & WE ARE NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR. HELP *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND DECELERATE. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR SAFELY OFF OF THE ROAD AT WHICH POINT IT SHUT OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE CAR CONTINUED TO JERK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAITED APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON BUT THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP JULY 1 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS ON BACKORDER. UPON LEARNING THIS, I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SOME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS NOT ABLE TO GET THEIR CAR OFF OF THE ROAD WHEN THIS SITUATION OCCURS. *TR

Mileage: 61,600

MY HUSBAND WAS SPEEDING UP TO PASS SOMEONE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE BEHIND HIM ALMOST HIT HIM BECAUSE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SO RAPIDLY. WE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS-THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45MPG MY CAR 'STALLED'. SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION BUT MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING, WRENCH LIGHT POPPED ON. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND UPON RESTARTING IT THE CAR RAN OK. TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT AUTO AND PULLED NO CODES. THOUHT IT WAS A FLUKE. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PUTTERING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. MY 3 CHILDREN AND HUSBAND WERE IN THE CAR. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY BUT IT IS ON BACK ORDER FOR 2-4 WEEKS, POSSIBLY MORE. IN THE MEANTIME I REFUSE TO PUT MY DAUGHTERS BACK IN THIS DEATHTRAP FORD CALLS A CAR. AND LIKE MOST PEOPLE WE CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE CAR SO THIS IS A HUGE INCONVEINCE TO US. HOW MANY MORE CASES NEED TO BE FILED, HOW MANY MORE TERIFFIED CONSUMERS WILL IT TAKE BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE?!? PLUS DRIVETRAIN WARRANTIES SUPPOSEDLY DO NOT COVER THESE REPAIRS. I COME FROM A LOOONG LINE OF FORD FAMILY BUT I AM COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I CAN GET OUT OF THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HWY IN CRUISE CONTROL, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND LOST MOST OF THE POWER. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, STILL MISSING AND LITTLE POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND PER THE OWNERS MANUAL IS THE THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION ISSUE I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED THE ENGINE. EVERYTHING THEN RAN SMOOTHLY FOR THE REST OF THE 20 MILE TRIP WILL TAKE CAR TO FORD DEALER. *TR

Mileage: 36,250

AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE MY CAR STALLED, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO MOVE ANOTHER 200 FEET BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN, REPEATEDLY I WOULD NEED TO PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND BEGIN AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE LAST NIGHT. I AM NOT UNABLE TO SAFELY TRAVEL TO WORK OR ANY OTHER LOCATION DUE TO THIS SITUATION. *TR

MY 2010 FUSION HAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I GET THE ANSWER THAT ITS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A PART TO FIX THIS THAT HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE APRIL BUT OF COURSE THIS WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. I SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS EFFECTING HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2010 FUSIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS WOULD NOT REACH RECALL STATUS? IT ALSO WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHICH IN ITS SELF IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAR WILL STALL AND HAVE NO POWER. FOUND TO BE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD CLAIMS THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU CAN SEE SEVERAL OF CASES INVOLVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE OF SUCH A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRAVELING AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU LOSE POWER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JERKED AND CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE TO THE RIGHT OF ME SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER.

***THROTTLE BODY**** DURING SEVERAL TIMES OF DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, I ACCELERATED AND THE RPM ON THE CAR JUMPED SUDDENLY AND STUCK AT A HIGH POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS IN WHICH THE CAR SLOWED TO A STOP. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT THEN CAME ON AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN USE OF IT. THIS IS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. *TR

Mileage: 42,000

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR JERKED AND THE RPMS DROPPED AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT THE WRENCH LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED THE CARE AGAIN. NO LIGHTS WERE ON SO I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY (ROUGHLY 15 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS) AND SOMETIMES THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT'S THE ENGINE LIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT'S THE BATTERY LIGHT. THIS OCCURS NO MATTER THE SPEED, NO MATTER THE TEMPERATURE, NO MATTER THE NUMBER OF THINGS USING THE BATTERY (BECAUSE THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON A FEW TIMES). IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM AND GOT IT TO THE SHOP TO TELL US IT WAS CODE P2111, SOMETHING WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. IT NEEDS REPLACED, SO THEY SAY - BUT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION, AT A NORMAL SPEED OF 45 MPH, THE CAR'S ACCELERATION CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MOVE MY CAR BESIDE COASTING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD, HOWEVER, IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN TO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER PARKING MY CAR, I NOTICED THE RPMS WERE JUMPING A BIT, AND AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD SIGNAL. I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND TRIED TURNING IT ON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE GAVE A SLIGHT HESITATION AND THEN STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED, AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING WITH MY VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY, IN WHICH GETS STUCK AND SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. THEY INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING INJURY OR DEATH. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, AS IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN MY VEHICLE. I AM LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE MY CAR OFF THE ROAD. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON THE TRAIN TRACKS, I COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

***** BAD THROTTLE BODY******** MY WIFE AND SON WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF GOING THROUGH A INTERACTION A CAR ALMOST HIT THEM TO THE RAPID LOSS OF SPEED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO POWER AND VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT FOUR TIMES NOW. LOOKS LIKE FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND AFTER THIS DID IT ON ME TODAY 6/27/13 SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN A ACCIDENT OR HURT REAL BAD. FROM LOOKING AT ALL THE REVIEWS THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR WORST. PLEASE HELP US GET THIS ON A RECALL LIST. THANK YOU. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STARTED TO STALL OUT AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY, WHERE I CAME TO A YIELD SIGN, I THEN PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE ROAD AFTER YIELDING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STARTED TO HAVE JUMPY MOTIONS AND KEPT REVVING EVERY TIME I WOULD TRY TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THAT TIME. THEN ONE DAY ON ANOTHER EXIT ONTO THE HIGHWAY WITH BUSY TRAFFIC I SLOWED DOWN TO SEE IF TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR TO MERGE AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC IT REPEATED THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT IT ALSO HAPPENED AT THE RED LIGHT DIRECTLY AFTER THE MERGE. I WAS NOT TRYING TO ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY ON ANY OF THE OCCASIONS BUT IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT AND THEY CAME BACK THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2010 VEHICLE WAS BAD AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND I WAS NUMBER 2 ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE THE PART BECAUSE THEY HAVE THREE CARS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE IN MY SEARCH FOR ANSWERS I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE POSTING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE FORD ASSOCIATE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED BUT HE WASN'T SURE THAT IT EVER WOULD. AS SOMEONE WHO DRIVES FREQUENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME THAT I WILL GO TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC AND END UP SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAS BEEN ALMOST TWO WEEKS SINCE I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THE PART FROM FORD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND IDLED REALLY ROUGH. WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AND CUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT. IT WORKED AT THAT TIME, BUT SINCE THEN HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, IT WOULD HAPPEN EVERYTIME I STARTED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4-5 TIMES, BEFORE THE CAR FINALLY STAYED ON, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. LUCKILY EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, TRAFFIC WAS SLOW, BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS SITUATION AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND QUICK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED FROM THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH, MY 2010 FORD FUSION UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER AND SUDDENLY SLOWED. IT DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I HAD TO PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND COAST TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS TRAVELING FAST WERE COMING UP ON ME. AFTER I PULLED OFF, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT RAN OKAY FOR A WHILE. HOWEVER, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

I'M ALSO HAVING THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS IN MY 2010 FUSION. THE CAR HAS REPEATEDLY LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60+ MPH. THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. IT DID IT 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY. FORD CUSTOMER CARE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES ON THESE CARS BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

COMING HOME FROM WORK MY CAR STARTED TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES KEEPING SPEED. SOON AFTER MY CAR LOST ENGINE POWER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ON MY WAY HOME WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THE REPORT I WAS GIVEN SAYS "CODE P2111 PRESENT" WHEN MEANS THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, AND THE CAR WENT TO A QUICK DECELERATE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR ALMOST STALLED ONCE I GOT COMPLETELY STOPPED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, AND RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED UP A LITTLE SLOW, BUT WAS QUICK TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS WAS ON TUESDAY MORNING. ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE SAME SYMPTOMS (NO ACCELERATION, AND A QUICK DECELERATION) BUT THIS TIME I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, AND MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO PULL OFF TO THE LEFT, BECAUSE I WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST ENOUGH TO TRY AND GET THROUGH THE TRAFFIC TO THE RIGHT. TURNED IT OFF, ABOUT A MINUTE LATER I STARTED IT AGAIN, AND I WENT ON MY WAY. THEN THIS MORNING (06/25/13) IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE, JUST IN CASE IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND IT IS A GOOD THING I DID. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD, AS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY GET PULLED OVER PRESENTS A LOT OF DANGER FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE CODE, AND THEY TOLD ME IT POINTS TO A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. AFTER READING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND SYMPTOMS, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME, REPLACED BATTERY ($100). CAR SUDDENLY DIES AND LOSES ALL POWER. ABLE TO RESTART, BUT WITH DIFFICULTY. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH A THREE-YEAR OLD! WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS GOING 60 MPH AND IT JUST DIED, LUCKILY WAS BY AN OFF-RAMP SO COULD EXIT FREEWAY. AFTER LOOKING IT UP ONLINE (CAR IS AT THE DEALER AS WE SPEAK AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE ON WHAT'S WRONG), I DETERMINED IT'S A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! *TR

VEHICLE STALLED, WRENCH LIGHT ON DASH LIT. I WENT TO SIDE OF ROAD, DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR BUT ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. IDLED ONLY, IDLE WAS ROUGH , ENGINE JERKED. AFTER 2 MINUTES I TURNED ENGINE OFF THEN STARTED THE ENGINE WITH NORMAL RESULT, WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND VEHICLE IDLED NORMALLY. I DROVE 20MILES HOME. WILL TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER 6/26, I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE AS STALLING AT A HIGHER SPEED IN TRAFFIC COULD BE DEADLY. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I HAD TO DRIVE ONTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID TRAFFIC, TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND THEN IT RAN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE SECOND INCIDENT, SAME THING, I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF OF ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME, THE WRENCH LIGHT FLASHED ON AND THE CAR SHUTTERED AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER THE FOURTH TIME, SAME SCENARIO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND HASN'T DISAPPEARED. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS WITH NO LUCK GETTING IT INTO A MECHANIC FOR ANOTHER WEEK. AFTER RESEARCHING, I DISCOVERED THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY AND IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN FORD FUSIONS. I AM DISGUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING BEING DONE. THE PART NEEDS RECALLED! THIS IS MY SECOND 2010 FORD FUSION AFTER PRAISING MY FIRST ONE FOR SAVING MY LIFE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. HOWEVER, AFTER BEING TERRIFIED FOR STALLING OUT OF NO WHERE AND POSSIBLY BEING IN ANOTHER LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT, I AM TEMPTED TO NEVER BUY FORD AGAIN. *TR

CAR QUIT ACCELERATING (DIDN'T SHUT OFF) AND RAN ROUGHLY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO EASILY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE DAY. INCIDENT HAPPENED FIVE MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FOUR DAYS (COULDN'T GET CAR TO THE DEALER UNTIL THEN). ON THE 4TH OF JUNE, I WAS TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO MOVE OVER TWO LANES TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I WAS CLOSE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, TO GET IT THERE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD BE TWO OR THREE WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD RECEIVE THE PARTS AS THEY WERE ON BACKORDER. I WAS FORTUNATE, THAT THEY EVENTUALLY RECEIVED THE THROTTLE BODY ON THE 8TH OF JUNE. IT COST $515 PLUS $220 FOR THE RENTAL CAR. I KNOW THIS REPAIR AND THE COTS ARE BETWEEN ME AND FORD, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE TO TURN TO, IN ORDER TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS THAT I WAS RIPPED OFF BY FORD.

THAT EVENING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND IT DID THE SAME THING. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. ITS ALMOST LIKE IT RESETS ITSELF IF I TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF. THE WRENCH LIGHT ALSO TURNS OFF ONCE I TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF. *TR

THROTTLE BODY IS APPARENTLY DEFECTED...WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND YOU LOSE THROTTLE. YOU HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE CAR TO REGAIN ANY SPEED. THIS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN A 3 MILE AREA. TAKEN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT AND WAS GIVEN CODES P2112, P2111, PO685. APPARENTLY ON LINE THIS IS A REAL ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH FORD DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC JUST SHUTS OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. *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

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 59674 MILES ON 4/4/13. ON THE DRIVE HOME I EXPERIENCED A LURCHING OCCASIONALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.) THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS LIT. THE LURCHING CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. IT BUCKED AND IDLED ROUGH. IT DIED SOMETIMES (MOSTLY WHILE IDLING), LEAVING ME BLOCKING TRAFFIC, TILL I COULD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. THE LURCHING WAS THE MOST CONCERNING, BECAUSE THE CAR BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. I HAD TO WORK HARD TO KEEP FROM GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I FOUND THIS SITE AND OTHERS DESCRIBING THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS AND I RECOGNIZED THAT WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. I CALLED TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS, BOTH OF WHOM SAID THEY COULDN'T GET THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE SO MANY ARE FAILING THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SUPPLY. ONE DEALER SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE JUST BRINGING IN THEIR FUSIONS AND PARKING THEM AT THE LOT UNTIL A THROTTLE BODY WAS FOUND. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CLERK WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEIR PARTS DEPARTMENT UNHAPPY THAT SHE HAD TO TELL A ANOTHER CUSTOMER IT WOULD BE 3-4 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD GET A THROTTLE BODY FOR THEIR 2010 FORD FUSION (NOT MINE). I BEGRUDGINGLY I AUTHORIZED THE $95 DIAGNOSIS FEE. I WAITED 3 HOURS. THEN SHE TOLD ME THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY MAF SENSOR AND WOULD COST $500. I REMEMBERED READING THE COMPLAINTS HERE THAT OTHERS WERE TOLD THE SAME THING, ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REOCCUR AND THEN HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND LEFT AN ORDER IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT FOR A THROTTLE BODY. FROM THE MOMENT I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE. I THINK THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. I WILL HAVE MY MECHANIC INSTALL A NEW $70 MAF AND WAIT FOR THE THROTTLE BODY TO FAIL EVENTUALLY, AS I FULLY EXPECT IT TO DO. THE DEALERS KNOW THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS A RECALL! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ~70 MPH, MY CAR STALLED - THE GAS WAS NO LONGER RESPONSIVE AND THE RPM WENT TO 1K. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP MY CAR. BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 5 AND 0 ZERO MILES AN HOUR, THE ENGINE SHOOK VIOLENTLY (I HAVE WITNESSED THIS WITH THE HOOD UP - IT IS ABNORMAL) AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL TURNED ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHIN MINUTES AND DRIVE NORMALLY. HOWEVER, THIS EVENT REPEATED ITSELF EVERY 30 TO 60 MILES ON A 300 MILE TRIP. AFTER THIS TRIP, THE VEHICLE WAS "FINE" FOR ABOUT SIX WEEKS, 1000-1500 MILES - CITY OR HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, THE BATTERY DIED AT ONE POINT. ALSO, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE GAS WAS NOT RESPONSIVE - IT WOULD HICCUP. OCCASIONALLY THE HICCUP WOULD OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION. ON 6/20, THE EVENT OCCURRED ONCE MORE, BUT AT LOW SPEED AND DURING DECELERATION - 30-40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TWICE AND DRIVE ANOTHER HALF A MILE TO A PARKING SPOT. FOUR HOURS LATER, I TRIED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HALF A MILE WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT NEEDED TO RESTART THE CAR 5 TO 7 TIMES TO REACH A PARKING SPOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE ERROR CODE P2112 WAS PRODUCED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY THE TECHNICIANS SUGGESTED PART DS70-9E926-D, ALL OR PART OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. TSB 10-21-6 ADDRESSES A SIMILAR PAIR OF PARTS IN 7T4Z-9E926-FA AND 8S4Z-9E926-B LABELED "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY" AS WELL. THE PART IS CURRENTLY UNDER BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA ON THE BACK ORDER. THIS APPEARS TO BE INDICATIVE OF A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM ON A BROAD SCALE WITHIN THE COMPANY'S VEHICLES. THE RED MCCOMBS DEALERSHIP IS CURRENTLY TAKING THE POSITION THAT MY CAR/CAR PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FOMOCO AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR TAKEN CARE OF BY RECALL. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 60 MPH IN CROWDED TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STALLED AND LOST ITS POWER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE WRENCH LIGHT DID COME ON. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE AND JUST PRIOR TO CALLING ROAD ASSISTANCE, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. IT DID SO SUCCESSFULLY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. FOR TWO DAYS, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. NO DTC WAS PRODUCED. HOWEVER, AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND RESEARCH, THEY WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. SO FAR, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. *TR

WAS HEADING HOME DOWN A NARROW BACK HILL WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION. HAD TO COAST DOWN THE HILL & WHEN I REACHED THE BOTTOM I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED TO CHANGE A FILTER & MY BATTERY WAS BAD. BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AT SEARS DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE FILTER (+PLUS I WAS TOLD THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT THE PROBLEM). LAST WEEK MERGING ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP @ 60MPH IT BOGGED DOWN TO 0 RPMS AND I THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO GET OVER SO I WAS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE TRAFFIC SO I COULD SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ON (TOOK ME SEVERAL XS) SO I COULD FINISH MY ERRAND. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY NUMEROUS TIMES NOW SO I AM HESITANT TO EVEN TAKE THIS CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY. NOW I AM FINDING THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT MY CAR IS DOING. IF THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS WHY IS FORD NOT MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM...Y DO WE HAVE TO SHELL OUT THE $500.00 TO FIX A CAR THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD. *TR

TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THIS MORNING, WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWS TO A CRAWL, AND I LOSE POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL. I JUST MISS BEING HIT BY A SEMI-TRACTOR WHICH HAD BEEN BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO MOTION MY CAR ACROSS THREE LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED TO RUN NORMAL UNTIL ABOUT 50 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT THIS POINT. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE NOW SURE WHAT THE CAUSE IS, BUT HAVE SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

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

ON JUNE 18, 2013 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I WAS STOPPED A YIELD SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR WHICH WOULD ALLOW ME TO ENTER A MAIN ROAD. WHEN TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGAN TO PROCEED. WITHIN ONE OR TWO SECONDS I LOST ALL POWER IN MY ACCELERATOR AND THE RPMS WERE NOT MOVING IN MY DASHBOARD. AS I STEERED MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MY CAR BEGAN TO JERK AS I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK; ROUGHLY 100 FEET FROM WHERE I PULLED FROM. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE WRENCH ON THE DASHBOARD TURN ON WHEN MY VEHICLE CAME TO REST. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. I WAITED SEVERAL SECONDS THEN TURN THE CAR ON. IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING BUT DID START. I NOTICED THE WRENCH ON AGAIN BUT IT QUICKLY TURNED OFF. IF THE ROAD WAS NOT CLEAR WHEN I PULLED FROM THE YIELD SIGN I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AND ACCIDENT AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 1 MILE THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME SEQUENCE OF LOSING POWER IN THE ACCELERATOR AND JERKING TO A STOP AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THIS TIME THE ROAD HAD WIDENED TO A TOW LANE ROAD OVERPASS OF AN INTERSTATE. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP JUST BEFORE THE ENTRANCE TO THE INTERSTATE. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MPH BUT PEOPLE TYPICALLY ACCELERATE TO 50 MPH PREPARING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. COMING TO A STOP BEFORE THE INTERSTATE ON RAMP THANKFULLY DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT DID CAUSE A SMALL TRAFFIC SLOW DOWN AS I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH A LITTLE TROUBLE AND THIS TIME I NOTICED THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. AFTER DROPPING MY VEHICLE OFF ON JUNE 19, 2013 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP ADVISING THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AUTHORIZED THE WORK BECAUSE I NEED A RELIABLE CAR AND DO NOT WANT TO FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *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

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER AND START SHAKING SPORADICALLY. THE CAR WILL NOT STALL BUT IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED. THE CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED TO STOP BEHAVIOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AFTER THE BEHAVIOR PERSISTED FOR ABOUT A WEEK. BROUGHT CAR TO AN AUTO ZONE FOR AN ODBII READING. THE CODES THAT WERE REPORTED ARE AS FOLLOWS: P2111: THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN. P0457: EVAP SMALL LEAK DETECTED BROUGHT CAR TO FORD DEALER AS PROBLEM PERSISTED. FORD DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. *TR

I HAD COME TO A STOP LIGHT AND WAS TURNING RIGHT WHEN THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. SECOND TIME ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS TURNING ONTO A ENTRANCE RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE AND WAS ACCELERATING WHEN IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS IDLING WHEN THE CAR TOTALLY CUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT DROVE 5 MILES AND IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DOING A STEADY 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY WHEN I WAS DOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. EACH TIME, I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR WHICH RAN NORMALLY AFTER THAT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING MY CAR TO START TO LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY. I WAS IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, MAKING THIS ISSUE THAT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE WITHOUT HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD PULL SAFELY OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT SEEMED TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOW PUT MY CAR OUT OF COMMISSION UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THE COST OF REPAIR IS OVER $400. UPON RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT, BUT WILL NOT COVER UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAVE BECAUSE IT IS AN "EMISSIONS" PART. I MUST STATE THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY CAR AND LIKE THE WAY IT DRIVES, BUT AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED SINCE IT IS COMMON ENOUGH FOR THE DEALER TO KNOW WHAT IT IS BEFORE EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR. I ALSO MUST SAY THAT MY DEALER HAS DEALT WITH ME FAIRLY AND HONESTLY THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. *TR

DRIVING AND LOST POWER, CAR ENGINE DIED. WRENCH ICON CAME ON ON THE GER INDICATOR. SPUTTERED WHEN COMING TO STOP AND HAD TO SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTART. WHEN RESTARTED I HAD NO ODEMETER OR GAS MILEAGE INDICATOR ON DASH. DID ANOTHER 2 TIMES UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION, APPROX 3 -5 MILES AWAY. I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN HAPPENED AND I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND EXPLAINED AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE WAS 95% SURE IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. HE ALSO STATED I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET FIXED RIGHT AWAY AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF NO PARTS AVAILABLE AS A KNOWN ISSUE. HAD TO FINALLY STOP AT A FORD DEALER ON SUNDAY ON OUR RETURN TRIP AS KEPT HAPPENING, REPEATEDLY AND TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER AS WE WERE NOT GETTING ANY FURTHER THAN 5 MILES APART BEFORE IT KEPT HAPPENING AND 2 OF US HAD TO STAY OVERNIGHT IN A HOTEL UNTIL THE FORD DEALER OPENED MONDAY AM.

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

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

I MADE IT ABOUT 1 MILE FURTHER BEFORE IT DID THE SAME THING. I WAS ON PINS AND NEEDLES ALL DAY DRIVING IT. IT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK LATER AFTER NO FURTHER INCIDENT FROM THE FIRST OCCURRENCE.

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. THIS ISSUE WILL COMMONLY HAPPEN WHEN MAKING TURNS, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT LIMITED TO THAT SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR AND IT JUST QUIT (THROTTLE POWER OUTAGE) SCARED THE DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME ONCE MORE. AGAIN, I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER A PAUSE. I THEN DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO BO BEUCKMAN OF WEST COUNTY, ELLISVILLE, MO. THEY PUT A CALL INTO FORD HOTLINE. I WAITED FOR AN HOUR THEY STILL DID NOT RETURN A CALL. RANDY TOLD ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT MAYBE A THROTTLE ISSUE. HE CALLED FOR THE PART AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. (THAT IS NOT A GOOD SIGN) I TOLD HIM I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR---AFRAID SOMEONE MIGHT HIT ME IF IT STALLS AGAIN. HE COULD NOT GIVE ME A LOANER CAR OR SATISFACTION, JUST TOOK MY CELL NUMBER AND WILL CALL BACK WHEN HE HEARS FROM FORD. ON LINE, I SEE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.

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

A FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED AGAIN, BUT IT WOULDN'T START AT FIRST. RECENTLY HAD 50000 MILE SERVICE. SYMPTOMS CONSISTENT WITH THOSE REPORTED IN THE PRESS FOR FORD FUSION PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE ASSEMBLY.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION SEL FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING ANYTHING WAS WRONG, AND WHEN IT HAPPENED IT WAS NOT ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOUD NOISE OR JOLT. INSTEAD, THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED AND I BEGAN SLOWING DOWN. APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR HAD NO EFFECT. I QUICKLY HAD TO NAVIGATE ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC WHILE QUICKLY SLOWING AS I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS THE CAR SLOWED BELOW 20 MPH, IT BEGAN NOTICEABLY SHAKING AND SURGING. THIS CONTINUED ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES BEFORE TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. IT CRANKED FOR A WHILE BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A SAFER LOCATION. SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME AS "THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THUS NO CODE WAS REGISTERED". AS THE ISSUE CONTINUED AND INCREASED IN FREQUENCY (NOW OCCURRING AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20MPH AND 45MPH, AND AS QUICKLY AS 2 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING MY HOUSE), I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING IT. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY. I AM NOW WAITING ON THIS PART WHICH IS CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE OVER 8,000 ORDERS AHEAD OF ME AND IT COULD BE OVER A MONTH BEFORE THE PART IS READY. AS A RESULT, I HAVE A CAR WHICH IS UNRELIABLE AND TENDS TO STALL EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLED/LOST POWER, WHILE MAKING A TURN AT 15-20 MPH. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING I TRIED TO START IT AFTER 15/20 MINUTES. IT STARTED, BUT WAITED FOR TOW TRUCK SINCE I WAS AFRAID TO GET ON THE ROAD. IT WAS LOOKED AT AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRSHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE FOUND, BUT THAT PERHAPS THE THROTTLE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AFTER 30,000 MILES. THIS COST AROUND $250. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED A THIRD TIME AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR ON MAY 17, 2013. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START AS IN THE PAST. HAD BOTH ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT. HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRSHOP, NORRIS FORD TECHS, SAID THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY THE THROTTLE MECHANISM AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THREE DAYS SINCE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. DESPITE THIS MAJOR REPAIR, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, JUNE 7, 2013. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 55MPH. THE CAR LOST POWER, STARTED SHAKING, AND STALLED. I'VE BEEN LUCKILY SO FAR THAT NOONE HAS HIT ME FROM THE BACK, BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED AND AFRAID THAT I DECIDED TO REPORT IT.

YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 AND ALSO LOST ACCELERATION BUT STILL HAD POWER, IT WAS WEIRED THE CAR WAS STILL ON, BUT THE YELLOW "WRENCH LIGHT" CAME ON INDICATING IT WAS A THROTTLE CONTROL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM!

IN THESE TWO INCIDENTS AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL MY SON HAS STARTED DRIVING AND THIS IS A RECEIPT FOR DISASTER OR WORSE! FROM WHAT THE FORD DEALER MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPAINTS I HAVE READ BEFORE SOMEONE ISN'T SO LUCKY IN TRAFFIC.

I LIVE IN HAWAII WHICH IS KNOWN FOR ITS 4 LANES OF BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC (NO FARTHER THAN 20' APART OR SOME ONE WILL PULL IN BETWEEN YOU) GOING 70MPH. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THIS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. INCIDENT: WAS CASUALLY DRIVING AT A CRUISING SPEED (70 MPH NOT ACCELERATING) WHEN THE CAR SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AND IDLED AT 1000-1200 RPMS. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND I COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS MANUALLY (I HAVE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE FEATURE). NOTHING WORKED AND MY CAR QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWLING SPEED OF ABOUT 10 MPH. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. IN HAWAII, THAT MEANS YOU ARE STUCK NEXT TO A CONCRETE MEDIAN LESS THAN 2 FEET FROM THE ACTUAL LANE. THIS MEANT THAT I HAD TO GET FROM THE LEFT LANE ACROSS 3 LANES TRAFFIC TO THE RIGHT LANE WITH CARS NO FARTHER THAN 20' APART GOING 60-75 MPH WHILE I WAS GOING 10 MPH. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS NOT THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY/MONTH/YEAR... THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES WITHIN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. FORTUNATELY I LEARNED MY LESSON AND STUCK TO THE RIGHT LANE (OF COURSE ONE OF THESE TIMES THERE WAS NO RIGHT HAZARD LANE EITHER SO I HAD TO DRIVE 10MPH FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE I COULD GET TO A TURNOFF). WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS NOTHING CAME UP ON THE READING. FORTUNATELY MY TECHNICIAN DROVE IT AND IT FAILED ON HIM SO HE WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. $350 (BASED ON RESEARCH USUALLY COSTS ABOUT $500 BUT I KNOW THE TECH.) LATER I HAVE IT FIXED ENOUGH TO TRADE IT IN FOR A FOREIGN CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION, MY CAR STARTED SURGING FOR ABOUT 20 MILES THEN AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT LOST ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT IT LOST SPEED IT WOULD NOT GO, I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT QUIT GOING! I HAD TO TRY TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CRANKED IT BACK UP AND DROVE A FEW MORE MILES SURGING AND IT CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN, VERY DANGEROUS. I GOT IT TO THE ADVANCE AUTO PARTS AND THEY PUT A DETECTOR ON IT AND IT SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE SENSOR. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

1ST INCIDENT: CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHILE GOING 40 MPH, COASTED INTO PARKING LOT, RESTARTED CAR AND DROVE FINE - NO WARNING LIGHTS 2ND INCIDENT: 6 WEEKS LATER WITH NO ISSUES OR WARNING LIGHTS CAR STALLED AGAIN LATE AT NIGHT WHILE GOING 35 MPH UP A SMALL RISE 3RD INCIDENT: 2 DAYS LATER - STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS, CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, DID NOT STALL, BUT WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH WHILE ENTERING ATTEMPTING TO ENTER INTERSTATE. SAT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE FOR 45 MINUTES WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH COST $385. THE NOTES ON THE INVOICE STATE THEY "RETRIEVED CODE P2111 THROTTLE SYSTEM STUCK OPEN." I FEEL CERTAIN FORD HAS SOME SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THESE CARS AS THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY HAD TO BE REBUILT.

TOWED TO FORD DEALER AND RIGHT AWAY THEY KNEW IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. CAR SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG UNTIL INCIDENT OCCURRED. 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. HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS OF NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM AND RAN ACROSS ARTICLE OF YOUR INVESTIGATION OF FORD. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE FAULTY PARTS.

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. IT HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE BEFORE WE GOT IT. FORD REPLACED (AT A CHARGE TO US!) THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN I HIT THE GAS AFTER SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I WILL HAVE TO JAM DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BEFORE IT DOES ANYTHING. AT THAT POINT, THE RPM'S FLY UP AND THE CAR WILL FINALLY START MOVING. IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND EVEN POSSIBLY KILLED ONE DAY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE I HAVE BEEN JUST SHY OF GETTING SLAMMED INTO BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS I TURN IN FROM OF THEM CAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. ALSO THERE HAVE BEEN THREE INSTANCES IN WHICH THE CAR WILL TOTALLY STOP MOVING. THE CAR IS ON, BUT IT WILL NOT GO. I WILL HIT THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN IN ORDER TO GET IT TO MOVE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE AND NOTHING EVER GETS DONE.THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I FEAR FOR MY LIFE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THAT CONTINUES TO GO UNHEEDED BY THE DEALERSHIP. *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 TOOK THE TIME TO TALK TO SEVERAL REPS AT FORD AND I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE MECHANIC DID NOT THINK IT WAS DEFECTIVE THEN THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

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.

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

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

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

ON A TYPICAL GOOD WEATHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AROUND RUNNING SOME ERRANDS IN THE CITY. SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED THE CAR GOING AT A CITY TRAFFIC RATE OF SPEED...APPROX 35-40MPH...I GOT APPROXIMATELY 5MILES OUT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN,AND A WRENCH SIGN APPEARED. EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND WENT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE WHICH I WAS BARELY ABLE TO DO. ONCE I WAS FULLY OUT OF THE ROAD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND BEFORE I COULD SHUT THE CAR OFF, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE/ VIBRATE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT A COUPLE MINUTES AND I PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR UP, WHICH IT DID SO LIKE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, AND THE WRENCH SIGN WENT AWAY. I PROCEEDED TO MY FIRST DESTINATION WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS. I LEFT MY DESTINATION AND PROCEEDED TO MY NEXT...I GOT ABOUT 3MILES OUT AND THE CAR DID, AND SHOWED THE SAME THING. SO AS I DECIDED TO JUST HEAD HOME WHICH WAS NO MORE THAN 10 MILES AWAY, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING 5 MORE TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON!!!!! I AM NOW HOME AND AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I'VE BEEN NOTICING A SPUTTER/VIBRATION WHEN IN IDLE OR PARK. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. THIS MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY BEGINS TO LOSE POWER AND SURGE/VIBRATE/SPUTTER AND I NOTICE THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I'M COMPLETELY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND ALL I CAN DO IS COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE (VERY BUSY) HIGHWAY. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND SITTING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES I'M ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITH NO INDICATION THERE WAS EVER A PROBLEM. THE CAR IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND WRENCH LIGHT IS OFF. I DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I LEFT IT FOR INSPECTION. AS USUAL, I HAD TO CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR AN UPDATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS NOT "ACTING UP" AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE. THEY DID AGREE TO KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF INSPECTIONS FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO BUT I SUSPECT I'LL GET THE SAME RESPONSE. AFTER DOING SOME LIGHT RESEARCH, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUSIONS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OR TSB ADDRESSING IT. I'VE READ POST AFTER POST AFTER POST WRITTEN BY INFURIATED FUSION OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S TIME FOR FORD TO OWN UP TO THIS, GET A SOLUTION, AND SEND OUT THE RECALL NOTICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET FOR ABOUT 1 MILE AFTER COMING OFF A HIGHWAY. THE CAR HAD COME TO A STOP AT LEAST TWICE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I WAS COASTING (FOOT NOT ON BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR) WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN FROM ~30 MPH AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL (CC) HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. I TOUCHED THE BRAKE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE (PROBABLY < 1SEC OF ACCELERATION) AND CONDITIONS RETURNED TO NORMAL. LOOKING AT THE DASH, I NOTED THAT THE CC MASTER SWITCH WAS ON, BUT CC WAS NOT ACTIVE BEFORE ACCELERATION EVENT OR AFTER BRAKING. STATE DURING ACCELERATION IS UNKNOWN. MY FINGERS WERE NOWHERE NEAR THE CC BUTTONS (OR ANY OTHER STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS) WHEN THE EVENT OCCURED. PRIOR TO THE EVENT: I WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WITH CC ON AND ACTIVE. WHEN CC IS ACTIVE, I ALWAYS KEEP A THUMB ON THE CANCEL/RESUME BUTTON. TRAFFIC SLOWED AND I BRAKED, THEN HIT C/R (TURNING CC BACK TO ACTIVE -- MY ERROR). I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE ERROR AND SET THE CC BACK TO INACTIVE (EITHER BY BRAKE OR CANCEL, I CAN'T RECALL). CC WAS LEFT IN ITS MASTER-ON/INACTIVE STATE WHEN I CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH ACTIVE VELOCITY SET SOMEWHERE IN THE 60-65 MPH RANGE. THIS WAS THE STATE OF THE CC SYSTEM WHEN THE ABOVE DESCRIBED EVENT OCCURED. *TR

I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED. IT STARTED UP FINE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. AFTER A MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I THOUGHT IT WAS PERHAPS "BAD GAS" AND MOVED ON. TWO WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE STOPPING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION (BECAUSE THIS TIME I WASN'T GOING 60MPH THIS TIME). THE DIAGNOSIS FROM FORD: A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THE CAR IS BARELY THREE YEARS OLD, IT HAS A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT (NOT CAUSED BY WEAR-AND-TEAR OR USER-ERROR), BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THE MECHANIC AT FORD SAYS THAT THEY SEE A LOT OF THESE SITUATIONS.

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.

ALSO, WE DO NOT HAVE THE FLOOR MATS THAT WE READ ABOUT IN OTHER POSTS ONLINE. *JS

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. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SHOWED CODE P2111. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC THE CAR LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR IDLED ROUGHLY AND I NOTICED A "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. I SHUT THE CAR DOWN WHILE I COLLECTED MY THOUGHTS ON WHAT TO DO. I USED MY PHONE TO FIND THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER AND, BEFORE CALLING FOR A TOW VEHICLE, I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT RESTARTED, THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF, AND IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER WITHOUT INCIDENT WHERE THEY HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND SUGGESTED THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED TO TRY AND GET IT TO A DEALER WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN DROVE APPROXIMATELY 120 MILES HOME WITH MY GRANDSON. THIS MORNING I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SIMILAR INSTANCES SUCH AS MIND AND FOUND THERE WERE QUITE A FEW: (HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2010/FORD/FUSION/POWER_TRAIN/PROBLEM.ASPX) THE INCIDENTS OTHERS REPORTED WERE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM NEW, AND THEY RAN A CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY MODEL AND THERE WEREN'T. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I TRIED CALLING THEM AND WAS TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE THEY WERE HAVING "TECHNICAL ISSUES" AND COULDN'T HELP ME, TO CALL BACK IN AN HOUR. I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA. THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER IS PROBABLY 50-60MILES AWAY. THE ROADS HERE DON'T HAVE MUCH ROOM TO PULL OFF ON IF THE CAR FAILS AGAIN. JUDGING BY THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME ACTION BEING TAKEN TO REMEDY IT. THIS SITUATION CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE DRIVING OR RIDING IN THE CAR. *TR

I TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED IT, AND IT CAME BACK ON, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF. DROVE IT ON HOME IT JUMPED AND JERKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO QUIT AT ANY MOMENT. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT SAID IT WAS THROTTLE BODY BUT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE PURCHASING IT BUT HAVE ONLY HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR. I AM CONCERNED WITH A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENING BECAUSE IT JUST SHUTS OFF THE GAS AND I CANNOT MOVE IT OR GET IT OUT OF TRAFFIC.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS I HAVE NOTICED SLIGHT JERKS OR SPUTTERS WHEN I'M DRIVING. SPEED RANGES ANYWHERE FROM 10-70 MPH WHEN IT OCCURS. THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY IT WAS MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION, LUCKILY THE RIGHT LANE WAS CLEAR AND I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. AS I SLOWED DOWN THE ENGINE SHOOK HEAVILY AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR FINE...NO LIGHT, NO SHAKING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 3.5 MILES TO WORK. SAME DAY, DRIVING HOME I MADE IT ABOUT 10 MILES AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES, RESTARTED AND MADE IT TO A SHOP A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD (STILL COULD FEEL THE JERKING SLIGHTLY BUT THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON AND I DIDN'T LOSE ACCELERATION). ONCE I GOT THERE AND THEY HOOKED UP THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE THEY COULD NOT READ ANY CODES, WHICH IS VERY COMMON FROM WHAT I'M READING ABOUT OTHER FUSION OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE GOING TO DRIVE IT IN THE MORNING SO THEY CAN READ THE CODE WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND HOPEFULLY DETERMINE IF IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AS THIS CAR IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *JS

I DID RESEARCH ON IT IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT HAS BECOME VERY RELEVANT WITH MY CAR MAKE/MODEL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! IF I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR GOD FORBID HAD KIDS IN THE CAR, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ADDRESSED FAST!!!! *TR

THE CAR JERKS, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, AND THERE IS NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. A/C AND RADIO WORK FINE. AFTER NAVIGATING THRU TRAFFIC WITHOUT POWER, WE TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND IT'S GOOD TO GO.

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP ONTO A BUSY AVENUE WHEN THE "WRENCH LIGHT" ON THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER & COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN 1 MILE. DROVE TO THE HOME OF A FRIEND AND HAD HIM GO WITH ME TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. CAR SHOOK HARD AND NEARLY DIED WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM I FOUND IT TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND MANY TIMES AT 70 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC EVEN ON NEW CARS WITH AS FEW AS 1300 MILES ON THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES. IN MANY CASES RATHER THAN LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE OPPOSITE WILL HAPPEN AND THE CAR GOES FULL THROTTLE FORWARD! THERE IS AN AVALANCHE OF DOCUMENTATION ON THIS PROBLEM AND FORD REFUSES TO DO A SAFETY RECALL. THE NHTSA'S SOLE REASON TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE IS SAFETY AND THIS IS CLEARLY UNSAFE. REST ASSURED THAT IF THE NHTSA DOES NOT FORCE FORD TO DO A RECALL PEOPLE WILL DIE. AS FOR MYSELF AND SEVERAL OTHERS I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH, WE WILL BE FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND THE NHTSA FOR FAILING TO ACT DESPITE THE LARGE VOLUME OF READILY ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

GOING ABOUT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE ON WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES ITS ACCELERATION COMPLETELY. I PULL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 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.

I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET TO WORK. THE DAY THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I CHECKED FOR TRAFFIC BOTH DIRECTIONS. A CAR WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT, AND I WAS TURNING RIGHT. I KNEW WITH MY CAR'S ACCELERATION I HAD PLENTY OF SPACE TO PULL OUT SAFELY (IT HAS A V6 ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). I HIT THE GAS AND PULLED OUT. THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. I BARELY HIT 5 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER REDLINED. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED AGAIN. SAME THING - REDLINED. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND FINALLY SHIFTED TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN SAFELY, BUT IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION THEY COULD HAVE EASILY HIT ME. I JUST ROLLED OUT IN FRONT OF THEM BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND WHEN I HIT THE GAS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT INCIDENT, I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS TWO WEEKS OUT. I BOOKED THE APPOINTMENT AND CONTINUED TO (CAUTIOUSLY) DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK. THE CAR RAN ROUGH EVEN AT CONSTANT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LAST NIGHT I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I TOOK THE HIGHWAY TO GET THERE. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I ROLLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 5 MPH, HITTING THE GAS PEDAL AND GETTING NOTHING. AGAIN, I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN ME AND THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL BACK WITH A DIAGNOSIS. *TT

SOMEONE NEEDS TO PULL THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD AND MAKE THE REPAIRS TO THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER OWNED AN AMERICAN MADE CAR. THIS IS MY FIRST ONE. SOME FIRST IMPRESSION. I WILL BE TRADING THIS CAR AS SOON AS I CAN. I AM JUST SO DISAPPOINTED IN FORD CLAIMING THE "BUILT FORD TOUGH" MOTTO. THIS ISN'T TOUGH, ITS DANGEROUS! I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE BEING LESS THAN 2YRS OLD, A PART ALREADY HAS TO BE REPLACED? SERIOUSLY?? FORD SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR COMPLAINTS.

MY SON RESET THE COMPUTER, AND I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE. DRIVING 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT HAPPENED -- THE SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 20 MPH. I COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. IT WAS 2 MILES UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT RAMP. I DROVE ON THE SHOULDER PART OF THE WAY BUT THERE WERE TWO CARS ON THE SHOULDER WITH OTHER ISSUES THAT I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND. IT WAS FRIGHTENING AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I DID NOT KNOW IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO DIE AT ANY TIME OR NOT. IT WAS DARK AND LATE ON A SUNDAY. I FELT VULNERABLE. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT OTHER 2010 FUSION OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS - HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE HIGH MILEAGE LIKE MINE. SOME ARE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (UNDER 36,000) AND SOME JUST BARELY OVER THE 36,000 MILES SO THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS JUST BARELY UNDER $470. FOR SOME REASON IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER MY ESP EXTRACARE WARRANTY, AND I DON'T GET THAT EITHER.

I PUT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW ME DOWN AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STARTED TO SPEED AGAIN, I BRAKED AGAIN AND EXITED THE FREEWAY AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OF THE ENGINE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GAS PEDAL, THE RUBBER MAT HAD STUCK ON TOP OF THE ACCELERATOR. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER TODAY THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER I NOTED ON THE WEB TODAY YOU HAD ISSUED A WARNING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN JUNE OF 2010, WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN OCT. 2010, AND I GUESS FORD DIDN'T TELL DEALERS NOT TO PUT THIS ALL WEATHER MAT ON TOP OF AN EXISTING MAT, AS PER THEIR PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS ON THE MAT ITSELF.

TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. APPLIED BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOW AND WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND HAD TO PUSH GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES HARD BEFORE ENGINE WOULD RESPOND. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE TRAVELING FROM FLORIDA TO CANADA.

I AM ACTUALLY FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE, WHO PRIMARILY DRIVES IT, AND MY SON SAFELY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN BEFORE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT YET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH WILL REVEAL THAT. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT INDIVIDUAL DEALERS ARE ONLY TREATING THE SYMPTOMS AND NOT ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

NO CRASHES OR INJURIES YET! I DRIVE A 2006 FORD FUSION>>> WELL DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL THE CRUISE CONTROL TOTALLY STOPS AND IT THE SPEED WHEN FROM 70 DOWN TO I DON'T KNOW WHAT RIGHT AWAY.. THE REASON I DON'T KNOW IS BECAUSE THE ODOMETER ERROR CAME UP CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING. AND TO ADD TO THE CONFUSION... THE STARTER STOPPED WORKING... ALL THIS HAPPENED ON THE DAY MY DAD DIED LEAVING ME WITHOUT A CAR TO SEE MY FAMILY WHICH LIVE 200 MILES AWAY... *TR

I WAS DRIVING A FORD FUSION THAT I HAD RENTED FROM HERTZ IN MINOT, NORTH DAKOTA. I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND LUCKILY HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I HAD TO PUSH DOWN VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" AND THE ACCELERATION SLOWED DOWN. I DROVE THE CAR THAT DAY BUT REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HERTZ AND URGED THEM TO GET THE CAR CHECKED. THE FORD FUSION HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER SO I ASSUME THAT IT WAS A 2010 MODEL. *TR

SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE INCIDENT, I REMOVED THE DRIVER'S SIDE ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MAT (THE FACTORY-DEVELOPED OPTIONAL ONE) FROM OUR 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID AND TOSSED IT IN THE TRUNK. IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR HAD BEEN TO THE BODY SHOP AND THE CAR WASH. AS NEAR AS I CAN TELL AN ATTENDANT AT ONE OF THOSE PLACES MUST HAVE DISCOVERED THE MAT IN THE TRUNK AND "HELPFULLY" REINSTALLED IT. BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS RIGHT AWAY. WHEN COMMUTING TO WORK ON APRIL 16TH, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AS I MOVED INTO A MUCH FASTER TRAFFIC LANE. UPON COMPLETION OF THIS MANEUVER I EASED UP ON THE GAS, BUT THE PEDAL STAYED DOWN AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING, UNINTENTIONALLY AT THIS POINT. AT FIRST I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 SECONDS I HEARD A "CLICK", THE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE CAR SLOWED. IT WAS THEN THAT I THOUGHT OF THE ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MAT, AND WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED I TRIED ANOTHER EXPERIMENTAL FULL-THROTTLE DAB TO SEE IF I WAS CORRECT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN (BUT I WAS READY FOR IT), WITH THE PEDAL RELEASING ON ITS OWN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, JUST LIKE BEFORE. AT THIS POINT I WAS CAREFUL NOT TO DISTURB THE MAT'S POSITION SO I COULD TAKE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK. ONCE IN THE GARAGE, AND WITH THE ENGINE OFF, I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FLOOR MAT-THROTTLE INTERFERENCE ON-CAMERA. AS BEFORE, THE PEDAL STAYED STUCK FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AFTER I PRESSED IT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO REPEAT THIS SEVERAL TIMES. BUT IN ONE TRIAL THE STUCK THROTTLE PERSISTED FOR OVER 30 SECONDS, WITH THE PEDAL STAYING STUCK DESPITE VIGOROUS STAMPING IN AN EFFORT TO FREE IT. THE ONLY WAY IT CAME LOOSE WAS BY LIFTING MY HEEL WHICH, IN THE NORMAL DRIVING POSTURE, HAD APPARENTLY BEEN PINNING THE MAT DOWN AND MAKING IT LESS FLEXIBLE. WITH THE HEEL PRESSURE REMOVED, THE MAT BENT UP OUT OF THE WAY AND THE PEDAL BEGAN A SLOW RETURN. A YOU TUBE VIDEO LINK IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 FORD FUSION FROM SHAEFER FORD IN CUMBERLAND MD ON 3/17/10. ON 4/15/10 I WAS DRIVING ON 220 SOUTH FROM MY HOME IN BEDFORD TO CUMBERLAND. I PASSED A TRUCK AND THEN TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE BRAKE PRESSURE. FOR OVER 1 MILE I HAD BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL GOING AT 45 MPH. I SAW 4-5 CARS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SHOULDER AND THE TRUCK PASSED ME. I CALLED SHAEFFER FORD AND WAS TOWED TO THEIR LOT. I LEFT THE CAR AND LATER THAT DAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE FLOOR PAD HAD HOOKED ONTO THE ACCELERATOR SO THAT IT DID NOT DECELERATE. THEY SAID THEY CHECK EVERYTHING AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT DAMAGED. I DROVE THE CAR HOME THAT AFTERNOON. *TR

FORD FUSION 2010 S - WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED THE CAR ACCELERATED UNTIL I DEPRESSED A SECOND TIME MUCH HARDER. THE CONSUMER FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT START IN AUGUST. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER INSISTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND EVENTUALLY, THEY FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS ATTRIBUTED TO RADIO FREQUENCY INTERMITTENTLY CORRUPTING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND A NEW GROUND STRIP WAS INSTALLED. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RECTIFIED. THE WEATHER STRIPPING SURROUNDING THE REAR WINDOW WAS LOOSE, THERE WAS LOOSE METAL AROUND THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL. *JB
