2010 Ford Fusion complaints

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION AND HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW WHERE MY CAR WHILE DRIVING WILL JERK REALLY HARD THAN START VIBRATING AND THEN COME TO A HALT, I WILL PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART AND DRIVE AGAIN THEN THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND BOTH TOLD ME THAT ITS THE THROTTLE BODY AND ITS ON BACK ORDER AND HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR SOMETIME NOW I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR AND ITS KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN NOW I AM NO LONGER DRIVING MY CAR AND HAD TO RENT A CAR WHICH IS CAUSING A FINANCIAL BURDEN BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE TIL THE PART COME IN FOR MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FUSION I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED SOON AND MY CAR IS EITHER REPAIRED OR REPLACED I NEED MY CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK ! I ALSO FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED ONCE MY VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND FOR THE RENTAL OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AS I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT FAILURE AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE SOON RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE, VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR, BUT LIGHTS, RADIO ETC. ALL REMAINED ON. A WRENCH SYMBOL WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. AFTER COASTING TO THE SHOULDER, I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT SHUTTERED AND SHOOK UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTIONING. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK OF THE FIRST INCIDENT, AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAD NO FURTHER INCIDENTS UNTIL MAY OF 2013. FOR A WEEK EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IT DIED, PARTICULARLY WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. AT THIS POINT THE MILEAGE IS AROUND 42K MILES. AFTER NEARLY BEING HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER WHEN TRYING TO JOIN THE INTERSTATE, I PROMPTLY DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAS BEEN LEFT AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS ON BACKORDER FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. I AM WONDERING IF FORD IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY ISSUE A RECALL ON AN OBVIOUS FAULTY PART! *TR

ON 5/22 DASHBOARD MESSAGE TO CHECK GAS INLET AFTER FUELING. AFTER DOING THAT THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. 5/23 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT BY THE DEALER. 5/24 DEALER CLEARED CODES AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. 6/4 MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, LOST ACCELERATION WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAR SPUTTERED SOME MORE AND SHUT OFF. SAT A MINUTE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 2 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. 6/5 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT RECHECKED. WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACED AND THE GAS INLET ASSEMBLY REPLACED. I OPTED TO HAVE THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACED BECAUSE NO WARRANTY AND COULDN'T AFFORD $700 REPAIR. 6/6, HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR HOME, ALL WAS FINE. 6/7 THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN, IT SPUTTERED AND SHUT OFF. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN WENT OFF. PULLED OVER, RESTARTED IT, IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 3 MILES. WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER PULLING OUT INTO THE ROAD WAY. I COASTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THERE WAS NO LANE TO PULL OVER SO I WAS IN THE ROAD WAY. STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DID THE SAME THING, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. GOT GOING AGAIN SO I COULD PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFER, AND GOT INTO A TURN LANE, IT SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION TO PARK IT. VERY SCARY!! GOT CAR TOWED BACK TO FORD. 6/7 AN

ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. AFTER COASTING TO A STOP WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART. THIS HAS RECURRED ~10 TIMES. FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS). TO REPLACE THEY ORDERED A COMPLETE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSY.$185.41 PLUS LABOR. FORD IS UNABLE TO GET THIS REPLACEMENT PART FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS SO FAR. . *TR

DRIVING AT 45 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC VEHICLE STALLED WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE VEHICLE CREPT AT LESS THAN 5 MPH WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER I SHUT VEHICLE OFF WRENCH LIGHT GONE AND VEHICLE WORKED FINE. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THROTTLE BODY CHARGED ME $596 TO REPLACE THEY SAID IT WAS COMMON. HOWEVER SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS SO DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD BARLEY MOVE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TWO BLOCKS TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY SO MUCH SO THAT THE PARTS ARE ON A TWO MONTH BACK ORDER UNLESS THEY ORDER UNDER AN EMERGENCY CONDITION THEN IT STILL TAKES TWO WEEKS. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED? I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY OVER $500.00 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON 35MPH ROADWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. ENGINE APPEARED TO BE "SHAKING". I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. I COASTED TO A SPACE, TURNED OFF CAR. I RESTARTED, IT APPEARED TO BE OK, AND PROCEEDED HOME. ANOTHER 1/4 TO 1/2 MILE AWAY (25 MPH), IT DID THE SAME THING. I RESTARTED, MADE IT HOME IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAD CAR TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP I HAVE USED, AND THEY DIAGNOSED "CHECK ENGINE" AS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY STATED THEY TALKED TO FORD, AND FOUND THIS WAS A BIG PROBLEM, SO MUCH THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE PART FOR ANOTHER MONTH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TRANSITION FROM THE 101 CA FW TO THE 110 SANTA MONICA, I PROCEEDED TO GIVE THE CAR MORE GAS TO GET UP TO SPEED OF THE CURRENT TRAFFIC FLOW BUT MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION. A LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT STARTED FLASHING BUT THE CAR WAS QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN. THE CARS STARTED IDLING HEAVING BUT STILL NO ACCELERATION. I QUICKLY PUNCHED MY HAZARD AS I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH MY AND TRAFFIC WAS COMING. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE FIRST LANE TO TRY TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. THE CAR LITERALLY ROLLED TO EXIT OFF 9TH STREET AND JUST GLIDED DOWN THE OFF-RAMP. A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE AS CARS HAD TO TAKE EVASION ACTIONS TO AVOID REARENDING ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER SAFE ON THE FIRST AVAILABLE STREET. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT STARTED RATTLING HARDER. I THEN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, TURNED EVERYTHING OFF (AIR/RADIO) AND UNPLUGGED MY PHONE CHARGER. I WAITED ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THEN STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN LIKE NOTHING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE SIDE STREET. IT WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER VERY NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED UP AS NORMAL BUT ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING INTO THE FREEWAY AND AS BEGAN TO GIVE THE CAR GAS TO MERGE IN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AGAIN. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME AND THE HARD RATTLING STARTED BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HUSBAND DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 5MPH RATTLING AND ALL AN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD TAKE 10 BUSINESS DAY TO GET THE PART AND REPLACE IT SO A RENTAL WAS PROVI

THE CAR LOOSES POWER SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR GIVES NO RESULT. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, BUT I CAN'T GIVE IT ANY GAS. I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE IGNITION, THEN RESTART THE CAR. AT THAT POINT IT STARTS PRETTY HARD, BUT WILL USUALLY BE OK. A WRENCH LIGHT SHOWS UP WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT IS GONE WHEN I RESTART THE ENGINE. MY FORD DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT TWICE. THE SECOND TIME, WE DECIDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. NOW I'M TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER ISN'T RELEASING THE PART UNTIL MID-JULY. I HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER 5 WEEKS WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE PART. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED 9 TIMES. TWO OF THESE OCCURRENCES PLACED US IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. 1) BUSY 4 LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AND AN INCLINE CAUSED ME TO SHUT IT DOWN AND PUT ON MY FLASHERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. 2). ON A 70MPH HWY WITH A SEMI-TRUCK APPROACHING QUICKLY BEHIND ME AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON THE SHOULDER LEAVING A DROP OFF. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND REPORT ON THE POWER STEERING RACK FAILURE. THIS LAST RACK (NUMBER 3) WAS ALSO A SALVAGE PART. LASTED SIX WEEKS, INSTALLED ON APRIL 26TH, 2013. FAILURE SEQUENCE IS THE SAME: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK, SERVICE POWER STEERING, SHUTOFF CAR, SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW, NO POWER STEERING. PLEASE FIX THIS [XXX]. IT IS NOT SAFE OR RELIABLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LOSS OF POWER ON INTERSTATE GOING 60 MPH AFTER 1.5 HOUR DRIVE. WEATHER: SUNNY, UPPER 70'S. THROTTLE CONTROL LOST. CHANGING ACCELERATOR POSITION HAS NO EFFECT ON RPMS. GAS TANK 3/4 FULL. ENGINE STILL RUNNING, COASTED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. ENGINE VIBRATED A LOT BUT MAY HAVE BEEN ANTILOCK BRAKES KICKING IN. TURNED OFF ENGINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED AGAIN, BUT IT WOULDN'T START AT FIRST. RECENTLY HAD 50000 MILE SERVICE. SYMPTOMS CONSISTENT WITH THOSE REPORTED IN THE PRESS FOR FORD FUSION PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE ASSEMBLY. SAFETY ISSUE MAKES IT A SCARY SITUATION ON INTERSTATES ESPECIALLY WHERE THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE PLACE TO PULL OVER (MILES OF CONSTRUCTION, FOR EXAMPLE) WITH HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU. *TR

POWERING DOWN OF VEHICLE CONSISTENT WITH A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BETWEEN JUNE 5-7 2013. VEHICLE IS AT FORD DEALER IN GAITHERSBURG, MD WITH UNKNOWN TIME FOR COMPLETION. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME N THE 3 YEAR HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE THAT I WILL BE WITHOUT THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY I WAS TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. *TR

SELLING / SERVICING DEALER BEGAN ADVISING OF CARBON BUILD UP IN THROTTLE BODY ~15000 MI. ~20000 MI WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED ENGINE LOST POWER, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AND THROTTLE CONTROL / TRANSMISSION LIGHT BOTH ILLUMINATED, VEHICLE ROUGH IDLED. SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED AFTER ~ 30 SECONDS. ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. READ/CLEARED DTC P2111. REPORTED TO DEALER ON 07 SEPT 2011 BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE. DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE PRIOR TO 35000 MI SERVICE (19 NOV 12) ENGINE CODES WERE LOST. DEALER PERFORMED INDUCTION SERVICE. AFTER 40000 MI SERVICE (24 MAY 13) HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE ABOVE FAILURE WITH DTC P2111 WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. ON 8 JUNE 13 HAD 3 OCCURRENCES AT VEHICLE SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 45 MPH WITH ONE AT LESS THAN 25 MPH WHILE ACCELERATING (ENTERING TRAFFIC). VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A DIFFERENT DEAL WITH A FAILED THROTTLE BODY REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER WHILE DRIVING AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN THE INTERSTATE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO LAMARQUE FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. LAST WEEK, I WAS AGAIN GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I HAVE 40300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE PARTS WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR. IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT WILL TAKE 2 TO 3 WEEKS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT AFTER READING ON YOUR SITE, IT IS VERY WELL KNOWN WITH THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND HESITATES TO START BACK UP. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES, INCLUDING LATE AT NIGHT WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILD. *TR

I TRAVELING ON I-45, THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75 MPH. IT WAS AT NIGHT. THERE IS RECENT CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ROUTE AND THERE WAS ABOUT 100 YARDS OF NO SHOULDER. SUDDENLY MY ENGINE STOPPED. I PULLED OVER AS FAR AS I COULD - I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. OTHER CARS WERE ALSO GOING THE SAME RATE OF SPEED. I HEARD TIRES SCREECH BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS - WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. THIS WAS A NEAR MISS - MY SON AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THIS NIGHT. I WAS VERY ANGRY TO HEAR THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2010 FORD FUSIONS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS THE "THROTTLE BODY" AND SAID THAT FORD IS PROBABLY NOT RECALLING IT BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A BACK ORDER ON THIS PART. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE WARNED! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN THE CAR LURCHED AND THE GAS PEDAL QUIT RESPONDING. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR - THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND A LARGE TRUCK ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK ONE MORNING AND ONCE WHERE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER FOR ME TO PULL OFF ON. THIS WAS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE IN TO FIX IT, BUT PROBABLY NOT UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF JUNE - THIS LEAVES ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE. THIS MUST BE A BAD PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR. *TR

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

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHOOK AND THERE WAS A BEEP AND THEN MY WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED LOSING SPEED FAST. WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED YARDS WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAINST THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WITH IN 30 MINUTES TOLD ME WAS THE THROTTLE BODY INTAKE WITH AN ERROR CODE OF P2111. COULD HAVE GOTTEN BAD QUICKLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE BEYOND 2 MPH. THE CONTACT FELT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GETTING THE PROPER FLOW OF GASOLINE TO THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE DEALER REWIRED THE ENGINE BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TR

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

AT 1605 WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR LOST FORWARD MOTION AND STALLED. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, WHICH WAS SLOW, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE NEXT MORNING AT 0645, DRIVING 45MPH, THE CAR AGAIN LOST POWER/FORWARD MOTION, STALLED AND WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE WRENCH LIGHT DISAPPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIND AN ERROR CODE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 10-11 MODELS BASED ON FORUMS ONLINE FROM CUSTOMERS ACROSS THE US. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I DO NOT WANT TO BE DRIVING 75MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY FAMILY AND THE CAR LOSE POWER AND GET HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER AND DIE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE 99.9% SURE IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT LOCATE AN ERROR CODE. IF THIS MANY CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS PART AND QUICKLY! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND BEGAN JERKING. THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY EVENING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65MPH) WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND WRENCH ICON CAME ON. COULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT THANKFULLY ABLE TO COAST ACROSS TWO LANES ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT RUSH HOUR TO GET TO SHOULDER! CAR WAS JERKING AS IT CAME TO A STOP. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED ENGINE BACK ON AND CAR WAS OK AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME; THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 5 OTHER INSTANCES. FIRST TIME WAS APPROX 9 MONTHS AGO (BEFORE WARRANTY WAS UP). BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER, THEY PLUGGED IT INTO THEIR COMPUTER AND GOT NO ERROR CODES SO "NO PROBLEM" DETECTED. NOW WARRANTY IS UP I WONDER HOW MUCH THIS IS GONNA COST!! FURTHERMORE, THE CAR BATTERY WENT DEAD COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO; THAT'S ONLY 3 AND 1/2 YEARS OLD. SEEMS ODD. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY WORK PARKING LOT, GOING LESS THAN 10MPH, AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION IN MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE CURB, PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, THEN RESTART. IT STARTED HARD, AND IMMEDIATELY HAD THE "WRENCH" ICON ON. AGAIN, I HAD NO ACCELERATION. I DECIDED TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO TRY TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (LESS THAN 15 MILES FROM MY WORK). IT STARTED ONCE MORE, A LITTLE EASIER, BUT STILL NOT "RIGHT." THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT AND START DRIVING. I MADE IT ABOUT 6-7 MILES, AND ONCE AGAIN, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PUTTER OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AT AN EXTREMELY LOW SPEED. I ONCE AGAIN PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND TRIED ONE MORE TIME TO START MY CAR. ONCE AGAIN, IT STARTED VERY HARD, BUT IT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE. I DROVE THE REMAINING 6-7 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE PART, I WAS TOLD, IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER, AND AM WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 57,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS. [BOUGHT DECEMBER 2010, INCIDENT OCCURRED JUNE 2013]. I EVEN PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THIS PARTICULAR REPAIR IS CONVENIENTLY NOT COVERED BY IT. *TR

MY PURCHASED MY CAR WITH 25 MILES ON IT IN 2010 AND THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2013 JAN, WITH ABOUT 35000 MILES ON IT WHEN I WAS IN HEAVY BATON ROUGE TRAFFIC PULLING ONTO THE STREET AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED, I MANAGED TO PULL BACK OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER LOOKING IN MY MANUAL I SAW THAT IT COULD POSSIBLE BE A THROTTLE PROBLEM. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT DROVE NORMALLY. I HAD FORD DEALERSHIP INSPECT THE VEHICLE WHICH THEY SAID IT DIDN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY PROBLEM. HOWEVER I AM REGISTERING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS PURCHASING A RELIABLE VEHICLE. LOSING POWER IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. FORD PLEASE RECALL. WHY SHOULD THE CUSTOMER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE PART, WHY IS FORD NOT STANDING BEHIND IT QUALITY VEHICLES? *TR

ENGINE THROTTLE FAILURE, APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE VIA BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH. IS FORD AWARE AND SUPPOSED TO HAVE NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED ON NOVEMBER 30, 2012 WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 29,000. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD HESITATE, BUT NOT COMPLETELY STALL, WHEN GOING APPROX. 25, 35 AND 45, AND SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN I FIRST TOOK OFF. I DID NOT EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT AND WAS TRULY SHOCKED ONCE I HAD MY FIRST ENCOUNTER. MY FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON AN INTERSTATE WHERE I WAS GOING APPROX. 70. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING BADLY AND I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ONLY THING I COULD COMPARE IT TO WAS HAVING A TIRE TO BLOW OUT BUT MUCH, MUCH WORSE. I CHECKED MY TIRES AND, THEN I STARTED THE CAR UP AND KEPT GOING TO MY DESTINATION. A FEW DAYS LATER IT OCCURRED AGAIN ON A RURAL ROAD WHERE I WAS GOING 55. I ONCE AGAIN STOPPED AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION. THIS TRULY SCARED ME TO WHERE MY NERVES WERE FRAZZLED, AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE NOW, I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM IN A RURAL AREA THAT IS MOUNTAINOUS AND WHERE 18-WHEELERS CONSTANTLY TRAVEL THE INTERSTATES, WHICH MAKES IT THAT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE 2010 FUSION. I JUST HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAS AN ACCIDENT AND GETS KILLED. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY AND MY CAR STOPPED TAKING ANY GAS. THE THROTTLE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AND I JUST BARELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE MY CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE NO ONE WAS THERE TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT 6PM. WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD BE ORDERED ON MONDAY. I RECEIVED A CALL MONDAY MORNING STATING THE PIECE WOULD BE IN THE NEXT EVENING AND TO DROP MY CAR OFF WEDNESDAY. I TAKE MY CAR BACK ON WEDNESDAY MORNING AND HAVE SOMEONE AT MY WORK PICK ME UP. THEY FAILED TO TELL ME THIS BEFORE LEAVING BUT THE PIECE IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL COME IN TO BE FIXED... AFTER I WAS ALREADY AT WORK! WHAT POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD FAIL AND STOP ACCELERATING AT ANY MOMENT BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS PROPERLY. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IF THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE DRIVING WITH VEHICLES THAT COULD JUST STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME AND ANY SPEED. IT'S COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE REPAIRED WHEN THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TRAVELING ON EXPRESSWAY THE CAR HAD NO THROTTLE. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT NO RESPONSE. ENGINE STARTED TO MISS FIRE. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER, SHUT CAR OFF. STARTED UP AND RAN OK . PULLED INTO AN ADVANCE AUTO THEY SCANNED NO CODES. NEXT DAY ON EXPRESSWAY AGAIN. SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TAKING BACK TO DEALER TODAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TR

TRAVELING ON I-40 EAST OF NASHVILLE THE ENGINE QUIT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TRYING TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS THE 8TH TIME IN 14 DAYS THIS HAS HAPPENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY "CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY", THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED 13 DAYS AGO. I LIMPED THE CAR OFF OF I-40 TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MT. JULIET, TN. THEY DIAGNOSED A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE AND SAID THE CAR COMPUTER COULD NOT TELL THE POSITION OF THE THROTTLE AND SHUT THE ENGINE TO IDLE. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY AT SPEED ON A MULTI LANE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD. THIS WILL INJURE OR KILL PEOPLE SOMEDAY IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND ON JUNE 2ND IT HAPPENED TO ME 9 TIMES DURING A 20 MILE TRIP. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED/ACCELERATING/DECELERATING, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON AND I WILL LOSE ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. I HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN I DO THE VEHICLE SHAKES VICIOUSLY. TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND IT STARTS WITH A SLUGGISH START. THE VEHICLE WILL RUN FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN REPEAT THIS CYCLE. THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE PROBLEM AND IT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I CAN EASILY SEE SOMEONE MAKING A LEFT TURN LOOSE THE THROTTLE AND GET HIT BY ON ONCOMING VEHICLE. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION TO DROP CHILD OFF AT SCHOOL. CAR STARTED LUNGING FORWARD AND THEN WANTING TO DIE. FINALLY GOT IT INTO A PARKING SPACE AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS AND DIES. TOWED TO FORD DEALER, SAID IT WAS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. COST $404.05. TWO DAYS LATER, DIED IN VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. TOWED AGAIN. NOW IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. WAS TOLD, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, THAT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. 1200 JUST MADE AND SENT TO PACKAGING CO. MAY OR MAY NOT GET ONE OF THE PARTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BADLY IN THIS INTERSECTION AND DEPENDING ON WHERE ONE IS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THEY COULD END UP GETTING HIT HARD ENOUGH THAT IT MAY KILL THEM. *TR

VEHICLE HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. INCIDENT HAPPENED MANY TIMES PRIOR TO THE DATE SHOWN, BUT DID NOT HAVE SPECIFIC DATE AND MILEAGE. IN CONDUCTING WEB RESEARCH, THE PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC WITH MANY FORD PRODUCTION YEARS AND MODELS, AND FORD HAS THUS FAR REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL, OR TO PROVIDE ANY OUT-OF-WARRANTY RELIEF. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THE PART INVOLVED IS A "THROTTLE BODY," AND THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 9,000 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPS, AND THE ONLY KNOWN REMEDY IS TO STOP THE CAR, WAIT A TIME, AND THEN RESTART IT. TO THE BEST I CAN FIND OUT, THE THROTTLE BODY IS PART OF THE POWER TRAIN, WHICH IS WHY THAT DESCRIPTION WAS CHOSEN'. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS BUT I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT TWO MILES AND DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I FOUND OUT THROUGH FORD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED IT WAS BECOMING A BIG PROBLEM. THE PART IS BACK ORDERED FOR A MONTH AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. FORD SHOULD ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND RECALL THE PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHILE CHANGING LANES AND CAR LOST POWER; WRENCH INDICATOR DID APPEAR. THIRD INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENING - FIRST TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN FIRST YEAR OF OWNING VEHICLE; WRENCH INDICATOR DID NOT APPEAR IN THESE OCCURRENCES. VEHICLE CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM AS WELL AS RECURRING LAG IN ACCELERATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN SERVICED IN THE PAST FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES AS WELL AS: JERK AND CLUNK WHEN REVERSING, UNEXPECTED REV IN RPMS, AND SLIPPING WHEN GEARS CHANGE. THIS IS A FUSION WITH THE 6F35 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AS USUAL, DEALER HAS SAID IF THE CODE DOESN'T REGISTER OR IF THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE WHEN OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO NOTE IT AS NO PROBLEM FOUND. *TR

VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY STALLS AND HAS TROUBLE RESTARTING IMMEDIATETLY AFTER FUELING. PROBLEM IS ONLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING. ONCE VEHICLE STARTS, PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL AFTER FUELING. *TR

THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT ON 2010 FORD FUSION. THROTTLE BODY WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 37 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,760. *TR

6-1-13,2010 FORD FUSION WITH 4 CYL. APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THEN CUT OUT. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND PULLED OFF. TRIED TO RESTART CAR, RESTARTED ON SECOND TRY. RAN FINE THE 20 MILES BACK HOME. SAME THING OCCURRED ON 6-4-13. *TR

GOING OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR CAR CUT OFF ON HIGHWAY LIKELY DID NOT GET KILLED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. TURNED OFF THEN IT RESTARTED. NOW DOES IT ALL THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING IT IS A THROTTLE BODY AND I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS. NO ONE HAS THIS PART SHORTAGE. *TR

AFTER HAVING STEERING RACK REPLACED AT A COST OF $2000, I HAD DRIVEN A TOTAL OF AROUND ABOUT 350-400, APPROX. 3 DAYS AFTER HAVING GOTTEN THE CAR BACK AND I GOT THE SAME WARNING SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. I PARKED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. AS SOON AS IT WAS TURNED BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE COMPLETELY. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I THEN HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR ANOTHER WEEK WHILE ANOTHER STEERING RACK WAS PUT IN. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP SAID THAT AN ENGINEER AT FORD TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS A FAULTY COMPONENT IN THE STEERING RACK FOR THIS MODEL CAR. (STILL NO RECALL?) I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER ANOTHER WEEK AND DROVE FOR ABOUT 250 MILES IN A TOTAL OF 4 DAYS WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN. ALL IN ALL, I HAVE OVER 3000 INVESTED IN THIS REPAIR. HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED 3 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS. I AM SCARED TO PUT MY TODDLER IN THIS CAR. *TR

VEHICLE CUT OFF AFTER IT REACHED 50 MPH AND WOULD START BACK AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OFF. *TR

DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN CAR JUST STARTED SHAKING THEN STOPPED, GLIDED OVER TO BREAKDOWN LANE. CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER A MINUTE OR SO WENT ON OUR WAY. NEXT DAY CAR STOPPED AGAIN, TWICE. TOOK IT INTO FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IS ON BACK ORDER BUT WE CAN CLEAN IT, THEY DID AND CHARGED $250 FOR SERVICE. WELL IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010 FOR OUR RETIREMENT CAR, IT HAS ONLY 38000 MILES. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE LONG TRIPS, SO WE ARE STUCK TO HOME WITH ONLY GROCERY STORE AND OTHER RUNS. WHAT A RETIREMENT!!!!!!!!! WE TRADED IN A 2003 CROWN VICTORIA, FORD OF COURSE. MY FIRST CAR WAS A 1962, GALAXIE 500 AND HAVE HAD FORDS EVER SINCE, CAN SEND YOU PICTURES OF ALL OUR FORDS. NEVER HAD A FORD WITH A PROBLEM, EVER, TALK ABOUT SCARY, WE ARE IN OUT UPPER 60S AND DRIVING THIS CAR IS SO REALLY SCARY. WE DO NOT NEED TO HAVE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT KEEPS HAPPENING, SAD FOR US. *TR

THE WRENCH ICON LIT ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND HAD TO BE QUICKLY DRIVEN TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN FURTHER. VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED. VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, AND COST 900 DOLLARS. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE VEHICLE WAS JUST BEYOND 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS I WAS PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY BUT CUTTING IT OFF AND BACK ON NO LONGER FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT IS CURRENTLY AT A FORD DEALERSHIP THE THROTTLE BODY IS HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. SO I DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED SO EVERYONE KNOWS TO HAVE IT FIXED. AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE SOMETHING FIXED THAT WAS FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2010 FORD FUSION SEL AWD AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND THE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. HOWEVER, WITHIN A FEW MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CHECKED THE DTC WITH MY SCANNER AND GOT BOTH P2111 AND P2112. BOTH ARE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD IS BACK ORDERED ON THIS PART AND THE CAR IS NOT DRIVE ABLE WITHOUT IT. IF THE PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR IN TRAFFIC, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
