2010 Ford Fusion complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY 2010 FUSION LOST POWER AT 75 MILES PER HOUR. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AT THE TIME OF POWER LOSS. I COASTED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERESTED ONCE I WAS STOPPED THE CAR WAS JERKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER I TURNED IT BACK ON. IT STARTED AND I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOUSE WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN AT THE SPEED OF 40. I REPEATED THE FIRST STEP. I TOOK THE CAR INTO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND BECAUSE MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BAD GAS .. THEN TODAY AUG 2 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF AND IT STARTED BACK EXCEPT THIS TIME I DID NOT EVEN GO A MILE AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I JUST LEFT A PLACE WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY PART.. *TR

THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED. RESTARTED AND THE CONDITION RECURRED APPROXIMATELY IN 3 OR 4 MILES. 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. THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF HIGH DEMAND EXHAUSTED THE AVAILABILITY OF THE UNIT. *TR

VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. FIRST HAPPENED ON JULY 18TH, SECOND JULY 19TH. JUST STARTED AGAIN ON JULY 31 & CONTINUES. I WAS TOLD ITS MY THROTTLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, AND THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NO DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 10/22/13*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE MIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE STALLED MOMENTS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I WAS GOING TO A FRIENDS HOUSE. MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. IF I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE TACT WOULD MOVE UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T. IT WAS SHAKING. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CHANGED. APPARENTLY THE THROTTLE BODY IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THEN LATER THAT DAY HE GOT 8 NEW THROTTLE BODIES IN. SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM IF A LITTLE DEALER LIKE THE ONE I GO TO HAS TO HAVE 8 THROTTLE BODIES IN STOCK AT A TIME. PRIOR TO THIS I KNOW REALIZE MY CAR HAD AN ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN I WOULD BE TRAVELING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING DOWN HILL, MY CAR WOULD DOWN SHIFT HARD AND THE TACT WOULD GO UP VERY HIGH. I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. ALSO, WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE FROM PARKED IT WOULD JUMP INTO GEAR. IT HAS DONE THIS AGAIN SINCE I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CHANGED. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING. I'VE DRIVEN FORDS ALL MY LIFE AND CAREER WITH FORD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'VE READ OF A LOT OF OWNERS OF 2010 FUSION HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN GOING 60-75 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. SCARY. ALSO, IT SEEMS THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER MAKES OF FORD VEHICLES. *TR

AT 65 MPH THE CAR ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHUTTERED AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE, WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR SAT AN IDLED/SHUTTERED. TURNED IT OFF. WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TURNED IT BACK ON, EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE, AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND DISCOVERED MANY 2010 FUSION OWNERS HAVING SAME ISSUE...THROTTLE BODY. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER AND CONFIRMED FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. WANTED $596 TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAM PCM. WAY TOO MUCH FOR A PART THAT IS ABOUT $150 AND 10 MINUTES WORK. DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS HIGHWAY SPEED AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER DO NOT MIX. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON ROADWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THROTTLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR REPEATEDLY BUT ENGINE APPEARED TO STAY AT IDLE AND VEHICLE SLOWED TO A STOP. A WRENCH SYMBOL LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING NORMALLY. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME OR INTERSECTING WITH ME WHICH I WOULD HAVE HAD TO AVOID. *TR

WHEN LEAVING HOME TO GO TO THE STORE, ACCELERATOR PEDDLE STOPPED RESPONDING SHORTLY AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AFTER LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE IDLED VERY ROUGHLY, SO I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT IDLED FINE, SO I CONTINUED ON MY TRIP. SHORTLY AFTER, STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM THE STOP. I WAS TURNING LEFT, SO I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN RIGHT AND PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. RESTARTED ENGINE AND CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THE SAME BEHAVIOR OCCURRED AGAIN ON Y WAY BACK HOME WHEN STARTING ANOTHER LEFT TURN. *TR

CAR SHUT DOWN WHEN I WAS ON 288 RUNNING 70 HAD TO PULL OVER CUT CAR OFF START IT BACK UP THEN IT DID IT AGAIN 15 MIN LATER ON 95 I BOUGHT A NEW THROTTLE BODY INSTALLED IT AND NOW ITS DOING FINE. *TR

DRIVING AND JUST STOPS ON ME. *TR

THE CAR LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR THEN STARTED IDLING VERY ROUGH. TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL I PULLED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND IT LOST POWER AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR APPROX 30 MIN. TURNED IT BACK ON THEN DROVE TO AN AUTO ZONE AND GOT A P2111 ERROR CODE WHICH STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK OPEN OR CLOSED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND ESTIMATED COST TO REPLACE WAS $400. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOTHER HOUSE TO PICK UP MY SON MY CAR SUDDENLY JUST LOST ALL POWER. IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT NOT ACCELERATING. IT WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TURNED THE CAR OFF WHEN I RESTARTED IT CAME RIGHT BACK ON AFTER THAT I HAD NO TROUBLE THAT NIGHT. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER MY SON AND I WERE HEADED HOME IT DID THIS TO ME AGAIN BUT WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR IT HAD MORE TROUBLE AND ONLY ALLOWED ME TO 100 YARD OR SO. MY MECHANIC CLEANED THE PART IT DID FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH OR SO UNTIL THIS PAST MONDAY 7/29/13. I HAVE CURRENTLY BOUGHT A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND IT HAS SEEMED TO FIX THIS CAR. FORD NEEDS TO REALIZE THIS A PROBLEM.THE CAR HAS STOPPED ON ME NUMEROUS TIME AND COULD HAVE CAUSED MANY ACCIDENT. I BEGAN LOOKING AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUES AMONG THIS CAR. ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. I MUST SAY THAT I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE A MECHANIC FOR A DAD BECAUSE I WAS QUOTED ALMOST 700 DOLLARS FOR THIS JOB AND LUCKY HE COULD DO THIS FOR FREE WITH ONLY THE COST OF THE PART. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE TOLLWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO CONGESTION. MY CAR MADE A LUNGE, LIKE A HARD DOWNSHIFT AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AS INDICATED BY THE TACHOMETER AND POWER STEERING, HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I TURNED ON THE FLASHERS AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I LET THE CAR SET FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE RESTARTING. UPON RESTART THE CAR RAN FINE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I HAD A SECOND OCCURRENCE JUST TODAY (8/1/2013). I NOW HAVE AN ENGINE LIGHT AND HAVE READ THE CODE - P2112. THE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I CALLED MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSION. *TR

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WILL BE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEN LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I NEED TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEREVER I AM, INCLUDING BUSY TRAFFIC. THE CAR CONTINUES TO SHAKE WHILE SHIFTING INTO PARK. AFTER IN PARK, I TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS, THEN START IT AGAIN. THE SHAKING CEASES UPON RESTARTING, AND WILL DRIVE FINE FOR 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE REPEATING THE INCIDENT OVER AGAIN AND LOSING ALL ENGINE POWER. A FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED THROTTLE BODY. THE REPAIR COST OVER $500. *TR

DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE FREE WAY, GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR AND MY FUSION WENT INTO A POWER DOWN MODE. I TRIED STEPPING ON THE GAS AND THE CAR JUST SLOWED DOWN. I GOT TO THE SHOULDER AND WHEN THE CAR FULLY STOPPED IT STARTING SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF. I GAVE IT A MINUTE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAITED FOR A BREAK IN TRAFFIC. I GOT BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND MADE IT ABOUT 200 FEET BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND GAVE THE CAR ANOTHER MINUTE AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON IT HESITATED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTED AGAIN, AND I CREEPED OFF THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR UNTIL I REACHED A SAFE SPOT TO PARK IT. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT IS WAITING TO BE SEEN BY A MECHANIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AS IT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PART CAUSED FIVE PROBLEMS. ONCE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL. THE CONSUMER STATED THROTTLE BODY WOULD FAIL AT ANY SPEED, AND THE ENGINE WOULD JUST IDLE.

THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE ENGINE WENT INTO IDLE AND WOULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A MAJOR, HEAVILY TRAVELED (WITH MANY TRACTOR TRAILERS), DIVIDED HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SHUT DOWN. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE; THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AS TRUCKS AND CARS HAD TO BREAK, WHILE I STEERED THE CAR TO THE NARROW SHOULDER. THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING (TACH SHOWED 900 TO 1000 RPM). HOWEVER, ENGINE WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO MY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, PUT THE FLASHERS ON AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT ONE-QUARTER MILE, THE SAME ENGINE SHUTDOWN OCCURRED. CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER CHECKED FOR TROUBLE CODES. THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE. SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPAIR, I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON TO FORD OWNERS. I WAS GRATIFIED TO SEE THAT YOUR AGENCY HAS OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. I THEN CALL

WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL PROPULSION. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, SHUT IT DOWN, AND START BACK UP AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON A 25 MILE DRIVE. APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY BASED ON THE CODES BEING THROWN OFF. THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES AND BASED ON MULTIPLE USER BOARDS THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD IS AWARE OF. UNACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH A KEY PART TO FAIL SO EARLY IN ITS LIKE. IF I WAS STUCK IN THE LEFT LANE THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION. WITH ONLY 32,459 MILES (MOSTLY HIGHWAY) I WASN'T EXPECTING ANY PROBLEMS. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT MY BRAKES WERE SO RUSTED THAT THE REAR ONES WERE FUSED TOGETHER WITH RUST. HE WAS AS SURPRISED BY THIS AS I WAS. I SAW THE PARTS AND HAVE USED THIS SHOP FOR YEARS. HE NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT IN A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW, AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. SO $900.00 LATER, I STILL HAVE TO WORRY THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I DOUBT I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART BUT RAN VERY ROUGH. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE OTHER OCCASION WAS AT AN INTERSECTION. BOTH TIMES THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO AUTONATION IN UNION CITY, GEORGIA. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-85 SOUTH APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC, BETWEEN EXITS 27 AND 26, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT DROPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MERGE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR CONTINUED DECELERATING AND THE "WRENCH LIGHT" APPEARED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN STOPPED (AT THE RAMP FOR EXIT 26), THE CAR RATTLED AND IDLED VERY HARD AND WAS SHAKING. THE BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED, THEN THE OIL LAMP APPEARED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS TOWED AN HOUR LATER TO KEITH HAWTHORNE FORD IN BELMONT. ON MONDAY, JULY 29, 2013, THE SERVICE MANAGER, STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED; WHEN THEY HOOKED-UP THE CAR TO THE TESTING MACHINE, IT DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES. THEY REPLACED THE FAILED THROTTLE BODY, I PAID FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE THE FAILED THROTTLE BODY IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. WHEN I REACH SPEEDS AROUND 45 AND ABOVE, THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL AND THE THROTTLE CUTS OUT, LEAVING ME WITHOUT A WAY TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAYS, LET MY CAR REST FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN START IT BACK UP. IT SEEMS RELUCTANT TO START. TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONCLUDED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND I WOULD NEED IT REPLACED. GOOGLED FORD FUSION THROTTLE BODY AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN, INCLUDING ACCIDENTS CAUSE BY IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, APPROX. 65-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS, LOSES ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF OR STALL, BUT IT DOES ENTER LIMP MODE. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE WRENCH LIGHT IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. THIS SITUATION REPEATED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES ON THE INCIDENT DATE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN NATURALLY (ALMOST LIKE I HAD MOVED IT INTO NEUTRAL). 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. I AWAIT A CALL FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP BUT EXPECT IT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING CAR DOWN THE STREET AND IT WENT INTO IDLE MODE. HAD TO PULL OFF STREET. CAR HAD NO POWER. TURNED CAR OFF AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED. RAN FINE FOR A WHILE AFTER THAT. THE FAILURE HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME WENT BY. HAD THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ON JULY 18. CAR HAS RAN FINE SINCE THEN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY LOCAL STREET AT APPROX 25 MPH. THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WAS STUCK IN A ROUGH IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES NOW. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS KNOWN TO FORD (FAULTY THROTTLE BODY). SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE SOON OR GET HURT IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR LOSES POWER LIKE THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD DO A RECALL NOW! *TR

AS YOUR DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR JUST LOOSES POWER, 2ND TIME IN TWO YEARS THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT. PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER THIS TIME, FORD WILL NOT HELP OR ASSIST WITH REPAIR IF VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, CAR LOOSES POWER AT ANY SPEED AND I WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ; ON COMPUTER FROM DIAGNOSTIC PEDAL IDS SELF TEST CODE SHOWS UP IS P2112. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 65MPH DOWNHILL WHEN I LOST THROTTLE POWER. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO BOTTOM OF HILL. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED AND DROVE A FEW MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. APPEARS TO BE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING. CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIP AND OBTAINED NEW THROTTLE BODY. WILL BE PUTTING IN NEW THROTTLE BODY TOMORROW. FORD DEALERSHIP PARTS EMPLOYEE STATED THAT I SHOULD SAVE MY RECEIPTS AS A RECALL IN THE FUTURE COULD RESULT IN REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY NEW PART. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BY FORD BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES ARE INCURRED. *TR

I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE FELT MY CAR JERK LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND THEN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT, IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT AT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FUSIONS. SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND A TON OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE. I CALLED FORD AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL HOWEVER MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO MAKE IT GOOD. SO I'M STUCK PAYING THE REPAIR BILL FOR SOMETHING EVIDENTIALLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND DANGEROUS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING OVER 50 MILES, MY CAR STALLED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND LET IT IDLE, BUT IT RAN ROUGH. ONCE I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT RAN OKAY. IT STALLED AGAIN LATER IN THAT SAME TRIP. THEN IT STALLED AGAIN TWICE ON MY WAY HOME. LUCKILY, I WAS ON A NON BUSY ROAD WITH A SHOULDER. THEN IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT AFTER DRIVING OVER 50 MILES, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE ONCE IT STALLED AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A ROAD WITHOUT A SHOULDER. I WAS CONCERNED THAT A CAR WOULD COME OVER THE HILL AND HIT ME WHILE I WAS TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. WHEN THEY ORDERED THE PART, INITIALLY, I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND WOULDN'T BE IN UNTIL MID-AUGUST. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS PART WHEN IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET THE PART. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO WAIT THAT LONG FOR A PART. NOW TODAY, MY SISTER-IN-LAW, WHO ALSO HAS A 2010 FUSION STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SHE HAS A LOT LESS MILES ON HER CAR (ABOUT 40,000). READING ALL OF THE ISSUE OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS PART ON THE INTERNET, I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND MY REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

FOUR INCIDENCES SINCE ONSET. WHEN ACCELERATING, AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CAR APPEARS TO STALL. A "WRENCH" (MAINTENANCE) LIGHT COMES ON. THEN, WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL, IT APPEARS AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT RECEIVE FUEL. PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF AND RESTART CAR AND PROCEEDS NORMALLY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHEN I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE THROUGH MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ENGINE WENT TO A VERY "ROUGH" IDLE AROUND 600 - 800 RPM AND THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING DOWN GRADE AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SAFELY PARKING THE VEHICLE I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SMILED AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. QUOTED ME ON A PRICE FOR A NEW PART AND LABOR WITHOUT EVEN INSPECTING THE VEHICLE ($352)! IF THIS PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUS TO THE TECHNICIAN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE EVEN BEING CHECKED, WHY HASN'T FORD RECALLED THIS PART? *TR

I HAVE AN 2010 FORD FUSION SE I BROUGHT THE CAR NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO DEC 2012. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY CAR LOST ALL POWER GAS PEDDLE DID NOT RESPOND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WRENCH LIGHT. I CUT THE CAR OFF STARTED IT BACK UP HARD START LET IT SIT RAN FINE WITH NO PROBLEM ALL LIGHTS AT THAT POINT WAS OUT TRIED TO TAKE OFF AGAIN SAME ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT BUT I HAVE BEEN CALLING FORD ABOUT LOST OF POWER FOR LIKE 4MONTHS NOW THEY ALWAYS HAD AN EXCUSE CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING APROX 65MPH DOWN A 4 LANE HWY AT 6:20 AM ON 6/24/13, MY CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND/ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THE RED "WRENCH" LIGHT LIT UP ON THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE DASH BOARD. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT FINALLY CUT OFF. I WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND TRIED ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT RESTARTED SUCCESSFULLY. I WAS ABLE TO CAUTIOUSLY CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL I REACHED A FORD DEALERSHIP LATER THAT MORNING AT WHICH POINT THEY TOLD ME IT THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY WENT ON TO SAY THAT FORD WAS NOT COVERING THIS REPAIR AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL IN EFFECT! THIS REPAIR COST ME $300 OF WHICH I COULD NOT SPARE FROM MY BUDGET! THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS OR TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE! THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED!!!! *TR

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. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN, AND IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD VEHICLES, THEN IT'S HIGHLY POSSIBLE SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THE THROTTLE BODY STARTS MALFUNCTIONING AT THE WRONG PLACE/TIME. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNED ON AND IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AS IF DRIVING ON A RUMBLE STRIP. I HAD TO PULL THROUGH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR WITHOUT POWER JUST TO REACH THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD TO GATHER MYSELF, REALLY HAPPY NOT TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED THE NEXT MORNING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. TAKING THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER AS SOON AS I CAN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE TODAY ON A 4 LANE ROAD AND WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN THE CAR POWERED DOWN TO 1 MPH AND STAYED THERE. THANKFULLY THE CAR I TURNED IN FRONT OF HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID ME. I TRAVELED TWO BLOCKS HOME AS THE CAR ONLY ALLOWED ME TO GO 1 MPH WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ON AND WITH A SLIGHTLY JERKY RIDE. I CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY GOT ME IN TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I ASSUMED BAD GAS OR A FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED, BUT ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS ODD THAT A THREE YEAR OLD CAR NEEDED ANY WORK. THEY TROUBLESHOOTER AND CLEANED THE FUEL LINES AND TOOK OUT THE MOISTURE THEY THOUGHT WAS CAUSING THIS. THE MECHANIC THEN TOOK IT FOR A TEST RUN IN THE LOCAL PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON HIM AND ONCE HE RESTARTED THE CAR RAN FINE. HE SAID NO CODES CAME UP BUT WITH INVESTIGATING ONLINE HE FOUND IT TO BE THE FUEL THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND HE WOULD CALL ME FOR AN ESTIMATE AND THAT I MIGHT WANT TO JOIN THE COMPLAINT ISSUE ONLINE. I WILL RECEIVE MY ESTIMATE ON MONDAY. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING FOR A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COMPANIES IGNORING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND NOT TACKLING THE ISSUE BEFORE A DEATH ENSUES. IS IT REALLY WORTH SOMEONE BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED OVER SAVING YOUR NAME? FUNNY PART IS THAT I CHOOSE TO GO BACK TO AN AMERICAN MADE CAR AFTER WANTING TO SUPPORT THE RECOVERY AND FELLOW FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WORK FOR FORD. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE FOR

THROTTLE BODY SHORTED BATTERY AND CAUSED ENGINE TO STALL IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, ENGINE SPED UP FAST BECAME VERY DANGEROUS. FORD HAS THESE THROTTLE BODYS ON BACK ORDER... THAT'S SAD. PLS RECALL ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

WENT TO START CAR IN DRIVEWAY AND IT STARTED IN LIMP MODE. LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT AND IT STARTED FINE AND RAN OKAY FOR ANOTHER 9 DAYS. 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! MY FATHER RETIRED FROM FORD AND WE HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANY OTHER KIND OF VEHICLE BUT THIS SITUATION IS MAKING ME RE-EVALUATE MY LOYALTY TO FORD PRODUCTS. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTING SHAKING AS THE CAR LOST POWER AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY STALLED. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT STARTED BUT WE DIDN'T EVEN GET A MILE FURTHER BEFORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A LITTLE WRENCH LAMP LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES WE WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL MILES AWAY WHERE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY 4 DAYS LATER. IT TOOK THEM THAT LONG TO GET THE PART IN BECAUSE THEY HAD TROUBLE FINDING ONE SINCE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS OVER 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TRAVELING APROX 60MPH ON HIGHWAY. LOST POWER. YELLOW WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON. COASTED TO SAFETY. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES TIED TO RESTART. RESTARTED NORMALLY. FINISHED TRIP. LATER COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED PO2111 AND PO2112. FORD WOULD NOT ASSIST . LATER FOUND MANY HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. SAFETY PROBLEM! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL BEGINS TO SHAKE AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. HAVE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS/COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BEING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS. $800, AND WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, BUT BROUGHT THE CAR IN PREVIOUSLY TO FORD WITH THE SAME ISSUES, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS THEN. DON'T FEEL I SHOULD PAY FOR A MISTAKE MADE BY FORD. *TR

DRIVING DOWN A SIX LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN, BARELY IDLING. WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR STALLED. WAS TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS MISDIAGNOSED AS A BAD BATTERY. NEW BATTERY PUT IN AND SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED 36 HOURS LATER. COMPUTER WAS CHECKED THIS TIME AND WAS GIVING A P2111 ERROR CODE WHICH IS A STUCK THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL PROBLEM IF THE EVENT HAPPENED AT INTERSTATE SPEED, OR MAKING A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. INTERNET IS FULL OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK NOVEMBER 28, 2012 THE CAR DIED. LUCKILY I HAD ALREADY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ONLY DOING APP. 30 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. I FINALLY GOT IT TO RUN, BUT IT WAS RUNNING TERRIBLY. I NURSED THE CAR TO WHERE I WORKED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS TOWED TO KINGS FORD IN CINCINNATI (ABOUT 20 MILES FROM WHERE I WORK). THE MECHANIC VERIFIED A "DTC P2112" CODE FOR A THROTTLE BODY STUCK. IT WAS REPLACED BY KINGS FORD AND ALTHOUGH I WAS UNDER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE (3 YEAR/36,000). I WAS CHARGED 442.81 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. I COMPLAINED TO FORD AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD "TOO BAD". NOT HAPPY WITH ANY FORD PRODUCT NOW. I MANAGE A 330 VEHICLE FLEET WHERE I WORK. DO YOU THINK I'LL BUY A FORD AGAIN? *TR

MY DAUGHTER OWNS A FORD FUSION 2010 AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENCES OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED IT AND ORDERED THE PART. THE PART IS BACK ORDERED DUE TO SO MANY FAILURES ON SEVERAL TYPES OF FORD CARS AND TRUCKS. A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA WOULD SHOW IT IS PAST TIME THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED!!! LOSING ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF PULLING INTO TRAFFIC WHETHER IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY IS EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS, THE NHTSA AND FORD NEED TO STEP UP BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR. *TR

DRIVER WAS DRIVING 2010 FORD FUSION APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND DECELERATE. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING POWER. DRIVER HAD TO PUT HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE SLOWLY TO A CONVENIENCE STORE WHERE SHE WAS ABLE TO CALL TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE VEHICLE ARRIVED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TO BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. CURRENTLY THE DRIVER IS WITHOUT THE VEHICLE THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOB. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED TO LOOSE POWER AND WAS IDLING ROUGH. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH. VEHICLE WAS ONLY GOING A COUPLE MILES AN HOUR AS DRIVER TRIED TO MAKE IT BACK TO HIS MOTEL, WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. DRIVER LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, AND IT STARTED UP. THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN BUT IT HAS EXTREMELY LIMITED POWER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. HAD TO WAIT TWO WEEKS FOR THE PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. *TR
