2010 Ford Fusion complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY FAIRLY NEW AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF FORD FUSION UP A HILL WITH MY FIANCE' AND 1 MONTH OLD BABY COMING HOME. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED AND CAUSE CARS TO ALMOST CRASH INTO ME. I HAD TO HURRY PULL OVER AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS NOT MAKING A TURN THROUGH TRAFFIC OR ELSE A TRAGEDIES COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I TRADED MY OTHER FORD FOR THIS NEW ONE THINKING IT WAS SAFER CHOICE. THE ENGINE TOOL CAME ON THEN WENT OFF AS I SHUT THE CAR OFF. TODAY I WAS DRIVING AGAIN ON 11/4/13 AND I WAS GOING THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT AND BOOM CAR STALLED AGAIN!! THIS TIME TRAFFIC RUSHING TO ME ON THE SIDE WHERE THEY CAN'T SEE MY HAZARDS ON. AGAIN WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR!!! I HAD TO RUN OUT TO STOP TRAFFIC. PLEASE NHTSA HAVE FORD FIX THIS ASAP OR MANY PEOPLE MAY BE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!! THEY ARE PUTTING BABIES AT RISK TOO!!! *TR

VEHICLE JUST STOPPED, COULDN'T ACCELERATE, LOSS OF POWER, COULDN'T GET ANY SPEED. *TR

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

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

VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR GAS. HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

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

THIS VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 50 MPH. THE ADVANCED TRAC LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, SAYING TO SERVICE THE ADVANCE TRAC IS NEEDED, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED HARSHLY AN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AN WOULD NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER CUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE HIGHER THAN 20 MPH IN TRAFFIC ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON. I HAD TO CONTINUE THIS PROCEDURE THE ENTIRE COMMUTE TO MY WORK PLACE WHICH WAS A 50 MILE COMMUTE ONE WAY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR 16 HOURS TO HOPEFULLY RESET THE SYSTEM. I CAME OUT TO GET IN MY VEHICLE TO HOPEFULLY GO HOME AN THE SAME ACTIONS STARTED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE ENTIRE TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TO ANALYZE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AN HAD TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION PAN DOWN TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS EXACTLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE WAS DONE THE NEXT MORNING AN I FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS SHAVED WITH IN THE TRANSMISSION AN THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE COST WAS GOING TO BE AT LEAST 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I KNOW THAT OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS MUST HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE ON THESE VEHICLES AN ALSO I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM ALSO ON THIS SAME VEHICLE WHICH COST ME 600 DOLLARS TO REPAI

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

I JUST GOT OFF I-59 SOUTH AND WAS HOLDING ACCELERATION AT AROUND 25MPH WHEN WITHOUT ANY INDICATIONS OF TROUBLE, I GET AN ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE GAS PEDAL QUITS RESPONDING AND I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE BEGINS LOSING POWER DOWN TO A ROUGH IDLE. I PULL OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON WITH NO CHANGE. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND ONE MORE TIME AND IT RESET AND DROVE OKAY TO WORK, ANOTHER MILE AND A HALF. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 85, SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, 70 MPH AT RUSH HOUR, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, SHE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED, AND COULD BARELY GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT DID START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SHE GOT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD HER IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH HAD GONE BAD. *TR

I FELT A JERK, LIKE SOMETHING MAY HAVE HIT ME BUT THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND AS I DID I NOTICE A LIGHT HAD COME ON (LITTLE WRENCH) AND THE CAR JUST DIED. I SAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND IT RESTARTED. HAVE CALLED AROUND AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FACTOR FOR FORD FUSION TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODIES. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN RECALLED? *TR

ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, NO ACCELERATION OCCURRED. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL JERKY ACCELERATION NOW. IDENTIFIED AS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH. CAR JERKED THEN SHUT OFF. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FULL BODY THROTTLE. *TR

THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE FAILED. MY CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART AND WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO SEE FORD RECALL THIS PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LUNGE AND JERK. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,600. UPDATED 12/24/13*LJ THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE PURCHASED THE PART FROM A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND INSTALLED IT HIMSELF. THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER PROBLEMS.

AT THE END OF AN INTERSTATE ON RAMP, THE FORD FUSION CLUNKED,STALLED, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE. LOTS OF HONKING THAT I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON A COUPLE OF TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A LESS DANGEROUS PLACE. TOWED IT TO THE FORD GARAGE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT IS DISPLAYED, SENDING THE CAR INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF. LUCKILY I WAS ON BACKROADS AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER BOTH TIMES THE CAR LOST POWER AND ULTIMATELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BOTH TIMES AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL WAS NO LONGER DISPLAYED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD, WHERE THEY DETERMINED (BASED ON CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER) IT TO BE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS, AND A HIGHLY DANGEROUS ONE. I TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY TOO AND FROM WORK AND THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEM TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH! HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL/CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SO I CAN GET SOME SORT OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $550.00 THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST. OF COURSE THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A "POWERTRAIN" ISSUE, SO IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET GOT UP TO 30MPH WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME & I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES TURNED THE CAR BACK ON STARTED UP FINE. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL A WEEK LATER, SOME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

ON A HIGHWAY I STARTED FROM A STOP AND MY 2010 FORD FUSION MOVED FORWARD AND THEN DROPPED INTO IDLE WITH NO RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATOR AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL DRIFT OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MOVED SLOWLY TO THE DEALER FOR AN ASSESSED FAULTY ORIGINAL ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ASSEMBLY REQUIRING REPLACEMENT FOR $629.00 WITH A BACKLOG OF 9000 OF THOSE PARTS IN THE FORD SUPPLY SYSTEM. *TR

WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SUBDIVISION WHEN CAR STARTED TO JERK AND STALL OUT. WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE, RESTART VEHICLE AND RETURN TO THE ROAD. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST WEEK, ONCE UPON A 4 LANE BOULEVARD. I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR CO. IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL AND REPAIR THE PART. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AS NO WARNING IS GIVEN THAT IT IS GOING TO DIE. IT JUST DIES AND LORD HELP YOU! I PLAN TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AND TRADE IT IN ON A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

LAST WEEK WHILE BRINGING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN TO SHAKE THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN IT JUST COMPLETELY DIED. I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STILL ON A SIDE STREET IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN AND DROVE IT RIGHT HOME. THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING ON BUSY ROADS NOT KNOWING WHY IT DIED...ONCE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED THE LIGHT WAS GONE...HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY. ONLY CODES THEY COULD FIND WERE FOR LOW VOLTAGE...I ARGUED IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE ETC...HAD THEM CHANGE MY BATTERY PICKED UP THE CAR ON THURSDAY...HAPPENED AGAIN ON SUNDAY. CALLING THE DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW BUT AGAIN THE LIGHT IS OFF SO THEY PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO PULL A CODE..SO FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE! *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION FELT AS IF IT HAD DISENGAGED FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE WRENCH ICON DISAPPEARED. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PERFORMED NORMALLY AFTER THAT. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING THE CARS ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLS. HAD TO STOP , AND TURN OFF THE CAR COMPLETELY,AND RE-START. *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 SHOUL

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MY CAR LOOSES POWER, THE GAS PETAL HAS NO EFFECT ON THE ENGINE. I PRESS THE PETAL AND IT HAS NO RESPONSE, NO RPM RESPONSE. EACH TIME I MUST PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF (REBOOT). IT APPEARS TO BE A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE - IT CONTINUES TO TAKE PLACE AT VARIABLE SPEEDS AND WITH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL TURNED ON. IT'S TAKEN PLACE SEVERAL TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE, CAUSING ME TO CROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO "REBOOT" MY CAR. IT'S TAKEN PLACE FOR RTHE PAST 10K MILES - GETTING MORE FREQUENT EACH WEEK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING CAR THREE DIFFERENT TIME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS STRANGELY AND LOSES POWER THEN IDLES ERRATICALLY AND CANNOT ACCELERATE, CAR DISPLAYS ERROR CODE ON DASH. I TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART AND CODE GOES AWAY AND RUNS GOOD. *TR

STARTED CAR AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE THEN IT CHIMED AND ADVANCETRAC SERVICE LIGHT AND POWERSTEERING FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO TURN KEY OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT OFF DISPLAY. *TR

DRIVING 75MPH ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING OR SIGNALS STALLS. THE VEHICLE DROPPED THE SPEED FROM 75MPH TO 10MPH AS I CONTINUOUSLY WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE SPEED BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CODE OF P211 THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE & THANK GOD NO VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME CAUSE IT COULD OF CAUSED A TREMENDOUS CRASH ACCIDENT. *TR

TRIED TO START VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP ON GAS, ALREADY HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK PRIOR TO FILL UP, RECENTLY DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES (CAR IS WARMED UP FULLY) AND IT IMMEDIATELY STALLED. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO ME, AND IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT JUST BEFORE THE GAS FILL UP I NOTICED SOMEWHAT ROUGH ENGINE RESPONSE IN A VERY SHORT DRIVE FROM ACROSS THE STREET. I'VE READ THAT THERE ARE ISSUE WITH THROTTLE BODY FAULTS ON FUSION AND ESCAPE THAT DO NOT LOG UNDER NORMAL ODB 2 CODES AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF. I NEVER SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. *TR

THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT WORKS FOR A WHILE AND SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN. *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

WAS DRIVING IN MORNING. TURNED ON THE HEATED SEAT. GOT SO HOT THAT IT BURNED MY REAR. TRIED TO TURN IT OFF BUT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. COULD SMELL SEAT BURNING. HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND LET SEAT COOL DOWN. STARTED CAR AND SEAT NO LONGER HEATS. LOOKED ONLINE AND FORUMS SAY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS BIG TIME! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT REGAIN ACCELERATION. THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUAL INDICATED THAT THE WRENCH ILLUMINATION WAS RELATED TO A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,400.

DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON GEORGIA 400 IN CENTER RIGHT AND CAR ENGINE STOPS. PUSHED GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES, BUT CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND SLOWED DOWN QUICKLY. WAS HEADING UPHILL JUST SOUTH OF THE CHATAHOOCHEE RIVER. ELECTRICAL WAS WORKING AS RADIO REMAINED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO APPLY HAZARD LIGHTS AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER. PLACED CARD IN PARK AND TURNED IGNITION OFF. IMMEDIATELY TURNED IGNITION ON AND CAR STARTED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR TO DESTINATION WITH NO ISSUE. I PAID FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY TO VACATION, AFTER 1 HOUR MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SLOW DOWN. CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL AND CONTINUED TO DECELERATE ON ONE LANE HIGHWAY. DUE TO NO PULL OFF AREA HAD TO CONTINUE ON HWY WITH POSSIBILITY OF CRASH IMMINENT. CEL LIGHT CAME ON AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OFF HWY AND AT STOP CAR SHAKE AND STALLED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES RESTARTED CAR AND CONTINUED TRIP. CAR REPEATED SEQUENCE OF EVENTS 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE REACHING DESTINATION. ON RETURN HOME NEXT DAY CAR REPEATED SEQUENCE. CAR REMAINED OFF FOR 15 MINS DURING WHICH TIME I PRESSED THE RESET BUTTON. CAR RESTARTED AND DID NOT STALL AND RETURNED HOME. NEXT DAY I TOOK CAR INTO DEALER. MY CAR STALLED 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY ON TRIP TO DEALER. AFTER THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED, HAD INCIDENT WITH ENGINE RACING TO 6 RPMS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH, THE ENGINE WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE AS I WAS IN THE FAST LANE. IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THREE LANES OVER TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER. IF THERE WAS ANYBODY BEHIND ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE. FORD TECH TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT BELIEVE THE PART HASNT BEEN RECALLED. IRRESPONSIBILITY BY FORD, IF YOU ASK ME. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO DECELERATE AT A RAPID PACE AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. WE NOTICED A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AS WE PULLED THE CAR OVER. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE A COUPLE OF MILES BEFORE THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. AFTER A COUPLE MORE TIMES OF HAVING TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE AS WE WERE APPROX 90 MILES FROM HOME. THE CODE WE PULLED FROM THE CAR WAS P2111.....INDICATIVE OF THIS INFAMOUS THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GET TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP 35 MILES AWAY.....YET ANOTHER 35 FROM OUR HOME. THANKFULLY THIS WAS COVERED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN FROM FORD. A COWORKER OF MINE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO....SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. LUCKILY THE HIGHWAY WE WERE ON WASN'T BUSY AT THE TIME THE CAR STALLED REPEATEDLY. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS CAN'T BE A RECALL...... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. THE CONTACT COASTED ONTO THE SHOULDER, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION HOWEVER, THE FAILURE BECAME RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME AND WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,063.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE THROTTLE RESPONSE BECAME VERY UNRESPONSIVE, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55MPH LEAVING MY WIFE AND INFANT DAUGHTER TO SLOWLY DRIFT OFF THE ROAD AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PLACE. THERE WAS A "SHUTTERING" OF THE VEHICLE, AND POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE BEFORE IT SHUT OFF WHILE AT OPERATING SPEED. *TR

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 GOING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON CAR SOUNDED AS IT WAS GETTING NO GAS AND STALLED AS TURNING IN. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AND LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURN CAR OFF. RE-STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. 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. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AT SOME POINT AND FORCE FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, WRENCH SYMBOL DISPLAYED. HAD TO BE TOWED. DTC CODE P2111 (THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED). 6 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY AS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR LOSS POWER TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I RETURNED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR ONCE AGAIN LOSS POWER AND WAS STUTTERING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THE ENGINE. I PULLED THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR ONCE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY . *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
