2010 Ford Fusion complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH THE CAR JERKED AND LOST THRUST. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I COASTED AS FAR AS I COULD GET. 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

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 65 MILES AN HOURS AND MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND SEEMED TO HAVE NO POWER, I WAS AT A PLACE WHERE 2 HIGHWAYS WERE COMING TOGETHER WHICH CAUSED GETTING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD DIFFICULT! I WAS ABLE TO GET INBETWEEN THE 2 HIGHWAYS AND STOP THE CAR, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE. THE IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON A SUNDAY AT 35 MILES AN HOUR AGAIN STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALER ON MONDAY TO GET IT INTO THE SHOP HAD AN APPOINTMENT ON TUESDAY MORNING TO TAKE IT IN, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT 5:00 PM IT STARTED JERKING AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND TURN IT OFF AN ON AGAIN. THANK GOD I WAS NOT HIT IN EITHER INCIDENCE!! I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS MY THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I AM BEING TOLD THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THIS PART IS AVAILABLE AND I AM HAVING TO GET A RENT A CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. MY NEW CAR WARRANTY ENDED IN TIME APRIL 2013 AND I AM 3000 MILES OVER THE 30,000. I THINK THIS IS JUST WRONG TO HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH A NEWER VEHICLE!! *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO RESPONSE YET THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN GEAR. THE WRENCH SYMBOL WAS ON THE DASH. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. LATER THAT DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS AGAIN FINE. LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF MAD RESTARTED. THIS AGAIN WORKED BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. *TR

CAR AUTOMATICALLY LOST SPEED GOING UP HILL TO STOP SIGN. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WENT DEAD. CARS WERE BEHIND ME AND PASSING ON BUSY STREET IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. DIDN'T CORRECT PROBLEM. HAD TO TAKE BACK. ON THE WAY, WENT DEAD PULLING OUT ONTO MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MORNING TRAFFIC COMING. FINALLY GOT CRANKED. WENT ON TRYING TO GET TO DEALERSHIP AND WENT DEAD AGAIN IN MAJOR INTERSECTION. GOT TO DEALERSHIP. THROTTLE BODY PART ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. BEEN 8 DAYS AND PART STILL NOT IN. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND LOST POWER, AS IF PEDAL WAS NOT CONNECTED TO ENGINE. THE TACHOMETER FELL TO IDLE RPM AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PROCEEDED TO GLIDE OFF TO THE SHOULDER WHERE, WHEN STOPPED, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER. I TURNED OFF THEN RESTARTED MY CAR WHICH TOOK 4 SECONDS OF THE ENGINE TURNING OVER. STARTED UP AND ALL SEEMED OKAY BUT AS I WENT TO GET BACK ON THE INTERSTATE IT STALLED AGAIN. PROCEEDED TO TURN OFF AND ON AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEMS. VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE OR COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE GETTING ONTO THE INTERSTATE THE ACCELERATOR FAILED THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SHUT THE CAR OFF RESTARTED IT DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES AND AGAIN SAME ISSUE RESTARTED AND DROVE LESS THAN 5 MILES AND AGAIN RESTART DRIVE LESS THAN 1 MILE AND YET AGAIN I CALLED THREE DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THE PART TO EVEN THINK ABOUT FIXING THIS PROBLEM THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP AS SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE $400-$700 INCLUDING MYSELF TO SAY OK FORD HERE IS MY CAR FIX IT WHILE WAITING A WEEK TO A MONTH FOR IT. *TR

ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65 MPG WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR JERKED. THE YELLOW WRENCH CAME ON. I HAD NO ACCELERATION AND CAR WAS BUCKING. I ROLLED TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE PUT IT IN PARK AND IT CONTINUED TO BUCK. TURNED KEY OFF. TURNED BACK ON. IT WAS LIKE HITTING THE RESET BUTTON. DROVE ANOTHER 15 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT DID IT A THIRD TIME. STILL 45 MILES AWAY I REDUCE SPEED TO 55 TRYING NOT TO TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. LUCKY FOR OUR FAMILY WE WERE NOT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE. THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. ALL WE COULD DO IS CRUISE TO A STOP. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE THROTTLE BODY BY FORD. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT LOST POWER AND AS SHE DESCRIBED "IT STARTED TO BUCK". THERE WAS LITTLE RESPONSE AND THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT BACK UP. THE CAR WAS FINE AND A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DID IT AGAIN. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I LOOKED AT IT THE FOLLOWING DAY AND CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. SPEAKING TO A TECHNICIAN, HE TOLD ME A DIAGNOSTIC PROBABLY WOULDN'T BRING ANYTHING UP SINCE THE LIGHTS WERE NOW OFF AND THE COMPUTER HAD RESET ITSELF. ON SUNDAY JUNE 30TH, 2013, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO SWITCH LANES AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP, IT IDLED ROUGH AND QUICKLY SMOOTHED OUT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON THIS VEHICLE. I STOPPED READING AFTER 55 REPORTS ALL LISTING THE SAME ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE PLACED ON THIS PART SINCE IT CAUSES A HIGH HAZARD/MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILD WHEN MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I HAD TO HURRY AND PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND TRY TO GET ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE JERKING CAUSED MY DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT TO PULL TIGHT AND LEFT MARKS ON MY SHOULDER. A WRENCH LIGHT BY THE PARK BUTTON CAME ON AND WAS LIGHTED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR STARTED AND I PROCEEDED TO HEAD TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS MORNING THEY CALLED AND SAID MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL OF THESE THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. 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. FORD NEEDS TO DO A VOLUNTARY RECALL BUT IF NOT, THE NHTSA NEEDS TO . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

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 F

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

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. *TR

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

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

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY @ 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, THE ENGINE DECELERATED SUDDENLY, AND THE 'WRENCH' WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT VERY LOW RPM (500 - 600 RPM). THE CAR SHUDDERED WHILE THE A/T WAS IN DRIVE - THE SHUDDER STOPPED WHEN THE A/T WAS SHIFTED TO N OR PARK. THE ENGINE SPEED DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. CUT OFF ENGINE AND SHUT OFF ALL ELECTRIC ACCESSORIES. CAR RESTARTED AND RAN THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF THE FOLLOWING DAY AT EXACTLY THE SAME LOCATION (AND THUS UNDER NEARLY IDENTICAL DRIVING CONDITIONS - THROTTLE, TORQUE, SPEED, ENGINE RPM, ETC). I REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MECHANIC, FORD DEALER SERVICE DESK, AND NUMEROUS ANECDOTAL ACCOUNTS FOUND ON SEARCH OF INTERNET OF NEARLY IDENTICAL EPISODES WITH OTHER FUSION OWNERS. THE ETB I REMOVED FROM THE CAR HAD A UNIFORM LAYER OF DARK COMBUSTION DEPOSITS ON THE BUTTERFLY. *TR

TRAVELING IN LEFT LANE AT APPROX 60 TO 65 MPH, CAR BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND STALLS. NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED BY LARGE TRUCK, WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. RESTARTED CAR AND ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. CAR IS BARELY IDLING WHILE IN PARK. ATTEMPT TO DRIVE AGAIN, CAR ACCELERATES AND SHIFTS FINE UNTIL REACHING 50MPH AND STALLS AGAIN. THIS EVENT WAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR AS LONG AS IT REMAINED BELOW 50MPH. GOT HOME, LET CAR COOL AND STARTED IT AGAIN TO FIND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW OFF. I'M SURE THIS IS JUST ANOTHER INSTANCE IN WHAT SEEMS TO BE MANY INSTANCES LIKE THIS OCCURRING. I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL A PART CAN BE FOUND WHICH AFTER READING THESE TESTIMONIES SEEMS CAN BE A LONG WAIT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD IMMEDIATELY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR. UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE (ALL ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS ON AND CAR RUNNING, BUT NO ACCELERATION) AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY. CAR BEGAN SHAKING WHEN STOPPED IN PARKING LOT OFF OF ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. CAR DID THE SAME THING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REACH 30-35 MPH. PULLED INTO APARTMENT COMPLEX, WAITED, AND RESTARTED. CARE FAILED TWO MORE TIMES WITHIN A 3 MILE DISTANCE, AND WAS RESTARTED. WRENCH LIGHT VANISHED AFTER RESTART, BUT ENGINE LIGHT NOW REMAINS ON. REPORTING DUE TO ONGOING INVESTIGATION WITH THROTTLE BODIES FOR FORD VEHICLES. RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE. *TR

1.WAS IN SLOW LANE, VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SUDDENLY. TURNED OFF ENGINE AND STARTED IT AGAIN 2. MAY 1? WAS ON RESIDENTIAL STREET ( 30 MPH. VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SUDDENLY AND THEN STARTED SHAKING. TURNED OFF ENGINE AND STARTED IT AGAIN 3.MAY 15 WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON BUSY CURVY STREET IN FAST LANE. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND SLOWED SUDDENLY, TURNED ON FLASHERS. .MOVED TO THE EXTREME RIGHT HAND SIDE. NEARLY GOT HIT BY SPEEDING CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE AS THERE WAS A NARROW SHOULDER. 4. MAY 30, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN THE SLOW LANE OF FREEWAY. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, I PUT ON THE FLASHERS, AND CAR SLOWED SUDDENLY. HE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. TURNED OFF ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN 5. JUNE 24, 2013. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 65 IN THE FAST LANE OF BUSY HWY 99. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. I PUT ON FLASHERS. HE MANEUVERED TO THE SLOW LANE, WHERE SPEEDING SEMI TRUCK HONKED AT US AND NEARLY HIT US. 6 JUNE 28,2013 I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT 35 MPH WHEN WRENCH CAME ON, AND VEHICLE I SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND I MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET., TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WHY IS ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR CODE (WRENCH) ERASED WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF?????? *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. ONCE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY EVEN WHILE IN PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. I COULD HAVE DIED! *TR

WITHOUT WARNING THE MOTOR SHUT DOWN, NO POWER AND BEGIN TO MISFIRE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND WAITING, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE MOTOR. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WITHIN 120 MILES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS DONE. THE CODES REVELED THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS NUMEROUS OTHERS...THE THROTTLE BODY. .....MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME IT WILL COST ME ABOUT 600 $ TO REPAIR. ....THIS IS AN ONGOING SCAM IN PART BY FORD.... IM SURE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS....I PROMISE YOU I WILL TRADE THIS CAR IN FORD A HONDA ACCORD....ATLEAST THEY RUN HONESTLY.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS HAD BECOME BENT AND OUT OF SHAPE. THE CONTACT CHANGED FROM SUMMER TO WINTER TIRES AND ALL OF THE LUG NUTS WERE FOUND TO BE WARPED. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE CONTACT COULD NOT TIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS WERE BENT, CRACKED AND NO LONGER FITTING THE LUG WRENCH THAT WAS SUPPLIED IN THE VEHICLE BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000. *TR

***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

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

VEHICLE STALLED OUT AT AN INTERSECTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER DASH INDICATORS CAME ON. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THIS MORNING THAT THE NECESSARY PART, AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, IS ON BACK-ORDER NATIONWIDE AND DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE FOR INSTALLATION UNTIL THE WEEK OF 7/8 AT THE EARLIEST AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, THUS COSTING APPROXIMATELY $500.00. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THAT NHTSA HAS LAUNCHED A PROBE INTO THIS ISSUE. *TR .

CAR WAS STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE , BUT ONLY CREEP ALONG. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A PARKING LOT JUST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WHERE CAR WAS STOPPED. TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD US IT NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE PEDAL. THE CAR SLOWED AND LUCKILY COULD BE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE CAR SLOWED TO A STOP IT STARTED BUCKING. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND RAN OK FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP TO WORK. THE CAR HAD THE SAME FAILURE ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEAL SERVICE HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. *TR

DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THROTTLE BODY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY 4 TIMES SINCE MAY 22, 2013. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR SOME TIME AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON UPON RESTART. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. THE ENGINE FELT "DISCONNECTED" FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I COULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL I WANTED, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL UNDER IT'S OWN MOMENTUM, BUT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, I WAS VERY NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, AND BECAUSE I WAS COASTING DOWN TO A STOP QUICKLY, MY ONLY CHOICE WAS TO PULL INTO THE CENTER TURN LANE OF THE 5-LANE ROAD. TRAFFIC CONTINUED TO SPEED PAST ME AS I STOPPED IN THE CENTER LANE. AS I STOPPED, THE ENGINE RAN INCREDIBLY ROUGHLY. IT WAS STUMBLING AND MISSING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH AIR. THERE WAS A YELLOW WRENCH ICON ON MY DASHBOARD, BUT NO "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT". I SHUT DOWN, WAITED A MINUTE, AND REFIRED THE CAR. THE CAR RAN PERFECTLY SMOOTHLY AFTER THAT. I DID SOME CHECKING, AND IT APPEARS TO BE A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE VERY WIDESPREAD ON 2010 AND 2011 FORD'S. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS. IT'S A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I'M LUCKY IT WAS JUST ME IN THE CAR, AND I KNEW WHAT TO DO. WHAT IF MY WIFE AND BABY WERE IN THE CAR, AND SHE WASN'T AS LUCKY? WHAT IF THE GUY BEHIND ME WASN'T AS QUICK ON HIS BRAKES?? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION ON THE INTERSTATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN I STARTED FEELING IT "SURGE". IT WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL AT THE TIME, AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS SURGING UP A COUPLE OF MPH OVER THE SET POINT, AND THEN FALLING BACK A COUPLE OF MPH BELOW THE SET POINT. IT WAS LIKE THE CRUISE WAS HUNTING FOR THE SET SPEED. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A LURCH AND I LOST ALL POWER FROM THE ENGINE. CRUISE DISCONNECTED AND I STARTED COASTING DOWN RAPIDLY. THERE WAS VERY NEARLY A REAR-END COLLISION WITH THE GUY BEHIND ME AS I WAS LOSING SPEED SO QUICKLY. THERE WAS A YELLOW WRENCH ICON LIT ON MY DASHBOARD, BUT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I MANAGED TO COST OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WHEN I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN PARK, THE ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGHLY. IT STUMBLED AND MISSED LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY AIR. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A MINUTE, REFIRED IT, AND IT RAN PERFECTLY. WE CONTINUED OUR TRIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT WHEN WE GOT BACK. OR LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID "THERE ARE NO STORED CODES, IT DIDN'T DO IT FOR US, AND THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG." THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO ME AND EVERY TIME THE DEALER SAYS THE SAME THING. 2 MINUTES WORTH OF GOOGLING SHOWS THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES THAT FORD HAS ON THESE CARS. WE NEED A RECALL! WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED IN A WRECK ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST ALL FORWARD POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE CUT OUT, AND A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAD TO MAKE SOME PRETTY SEVERE EMERGENCY MANEUVERS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS DUE TO MY ALMOST-STALLED CAR. I COULDN'T GET ANY POWER OUT OF IT WITH THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I COASTED OFF INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY, THE CAR BARELY STAYED RUNNING. IT SHOOK AND MISSED LIKE IT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH AIR. THERE WAS A YELLOW WRENCH ICON ON, BUT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I SHUT DOWN AND REFIRED, AND IT RAN PERFECTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO STORED DATA TO ANALYZE, AND THAT IT DIDN'T DO IT TO THEM ON THE TEST DRIVE. THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. 2 MINUTES OF GOOGLING SHOWS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES ON THESE CARS. WE NEED A RECALL!! WHAT IF PEOPLE HADN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION WHEN MY CAR FAILED IN THE INTERSECTION? THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A BIG CRASH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND GOT A FLAT TIRE. AT THE SAME TIME I RECEIVED AN ERROR ABOUT THE POWER STEERING AND TO SERVICE THE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM. I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS RELATED TO THE FLAT TIRE. I GOT THE TIRE REPLACED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE ERROR CLEARED BUT I STILL HAVE NO POWER STEERING. IWAS TOLD THAT THE TWO ISSUES WERE NOT RELATED AND THAT THE POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE. I SEE MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2010-2011 FORD FUSIONS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP. NOTHING BROKE ON MY CAR AND THE FLUIDS ARE FINE SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS ERROR AND FOR THE POWER STEERING TO STOP WORKING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOCALLY ON 6/15/2013, I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND UPON ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CAR ALMOST STALLED AND THEN STARTED TO BUCK AND SURGE. I TURNED THE CORNER BUT COULD NOT DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN 20 MPH AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SURGE, THEN ALMOST STALL, THEN SURGE AGAIN AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD 1/4 - 1/2 MILE TO THE ENTRANCE OF MY DAUGHTER'S DEVELOPMENT. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. MY DAUGHTER CAME TO MEET ME AND I DROVE THE CAR UP THE BLOCK TO HER HOUSE WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS BUT LETTING IT "COAST", DURING WHICH IT AGAIN CONTINUED TO SURGE THEN ALMOST STALL, THEN SURGE AGAIN. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THEY TOLD US THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS SINCE IT WAS ON BACK-ORDER NATIONALLY, BUT INFORMED US THAT IT WAS OK TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR, AS IT COULD SURGE INTO AN INTERSECTION OR STALL SUDDENLY, SO WE INVESTIGATED THROTTLE BODY ISSUES ON FORD CARS ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT THERE WERE NUMEROUS SIMILAR ISSUES NATIONWIDE. SO WE DETERMINED TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALER UNTIL IT COULD BE REPAIRED AND DRIVEN SAFELY. WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO FILE THIS REPORT SINCE WE FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

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

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY FAIL TO START ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK FOR 5+ SECONDS UNTIL I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION, REMOVED THE KEY AND TRIED AGAIN. IT WOULD ALWAYS START ON THE SECOND TRY... JUST RECENTLY (BEGINNING OF JUNE 2013) I NOTICED MY TACHOMETER WAS GOING FROM 7000 TO 4000RPM AT STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS BUT THE CAR NEVER STALLED. ON 6/26/13 AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN TO ABOUT 30 MPH THE CAR LOST POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE CAR DID NOT STALL. I GRADUALLY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY HAZARDS ON TRYING NOT TO CAUSE ALARM TO THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY FOR 10-20 SECONDS AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE OK SO I DROVE THE CAR HOME. ON 6/27/13 I DROVE MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BUT ON THE WAY BACK I WAS 20 MILES INTO MY RETURN TRIP AND DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM FROM THE DAY BEFORE (YESTERDAY). THIS TIME I WAS IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC COMING OUT OF NYC. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE GSP. AGAIN I WAITED 10-20 SECONDS AND RESTARTED. THE IDLE WAS ROUGH FOR A FEW SECONDS BUT WAS FINE AFTER THAT SO I MERGED BACK ONTO THE HEAVILY CONGESTED ROAD. AFTER ANOTHER 20-30 MILES THE CAR FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER EASILY BECAUSE I

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTARTED IT AND BEGAN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

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 T

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 476 IN PA, THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE A WARNING/EVENT LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I WAS TO CALL FOR ASSISTENCE BUT WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR, AND PROCEED TO WORK ( ABOUT 40 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE REPAIR ARRANGEMENT AND WAS ADVISED THE CAR IS DRIVABLE AND THAT SOME OF THESE THROTTLE ISSUES ARE "INTERMITTENT". THE CAR STALLED 3 MORE TIME ON MY WAY HOME, ABOUT 75 MILES AND IT SEEMED TO STALL EVERY 20 OR SO MINUTES. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPLACEMENT PART(S). *TR
