2011 Ford Fusion complaints

2300 RPM, TRANSMISSION LURCHES, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND CUT THE IGNITION OFF TO RESET THE SENSOR. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GLOWED. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE THROTTLE SENSOR WAS BAD. I PAY THEM TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH I READ ONLINE IS CONSTANTLY RECURRING. NOT COVERED IN WARRANTY AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A FAULTY PART. NOT ME. *TR

WAS DRIVING 65 WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS PEDAL WENT DEAD. GOT PULLED OVER AND CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. TURNED OFF FOR 2 MINUTES AND AFTER A HARD START THE CAR RAN NORMAL AGAIN. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT EVENING AS I WAS JUST PULLING OUT MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I READ ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND GUESS WHAT, BAD THROTTLE BODY!!!! MY DEALERSHIP IS PRETTY GOOD AND THEY FIXED ME UP IN A RENTAL LOANER CAR WHILE THEY WAITED FOR 5 DAYS TO GET THE NEW PART. I'VE HAD MY FUSION BACK FOR 10 DAYS NOW AND ITS BEEN GOOD AND ACTUALLY FEELS A LITTLE MORE RESPONSIVE. A FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED A CALL FORD'S CONSUMER'S HOTLINE 800-392-3673 WHICH I CALLED A WEEK AGO AND FORD GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER. I TOLD THE REP I THOUGHT FORD SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME CREDIT FOR THE REPAIR WITH THE THROTTLE BODY HISTORY AND THEY SHOULD STEP UP AND DO A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. FORD SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME IN 4 BUSINESS DAYS. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO, DIDN'T HEAR A WORD SO I CALLED THEM AGAIN TODAY ABOUT MY CASE. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY GIVEN ME A DISCOUNT BY ONLY CHARGING ME $500 ON A $900 REPAIR. AMAZING I WAS QUOTED $500 FOR THE REPAIR THE DAY I BROUGHT IT IN. I TOLD HER THAT MY LAST 4 VEHICLE PURCHASES WERE NEW FORDS AND I'M SEEING AN END COMING TO OUR RELATIONSHIP IF THEY FAILED TO ACT ON THIS THROTTLE BODY THING. MY IMPRESSION IS THAT FORD

2011 FUSION W/ 3.0 LITER 6CYL. WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BOGGED DOWN. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW SECONDS, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, THEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH NO INCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS JUST OVER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE LIMIT. I FOUND OUT THAT THE NHTSA STARTED AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE IN FEBRUARY 2013 AND FORD IS AWARE OF THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WAS LUCKY NO TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME SINCE MY CAR SLOWED QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN OUR STREET AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL , PULLED OVER, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN RESTARTED. IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS FOR MY CAR TO COME BACK ON. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND THE CAR LOST POWER LIKE THIS THREE MORE TIMES. I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. I DROVE TO A MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART IS ON NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. THERE ARE 150+ ORDERS FROM FORD INFRONT OF MINE. IF THE ISSUE IS THIS WIDE, IT ONLY SEEMS RIGHT THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND I LOST POWER- I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, CAR STALLED CAUSING CARS BEHIND ME TO SWERVE OFF ROAD TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND THERE IS A NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE OF PARTS. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR ON JUNE 26 2013 WITH 25580 MILES. I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND WITH NO WARNING AN ORANGE WRENCH INDICATOR CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOLLOWED BY A COMPLETE LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. THE WRENCH DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING WELL. AFTER ABOUT TWO MILES I ENTERED THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL MILES TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE AT ABOUT 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. WITH NO WARNING JUST AS DESCRIBED IN THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO USE OF THE THROTTLE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THIS TIME THE CAR WAS BUCKING AND SHUDDERING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE THE REST OF MY TRIP. I HAVE TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER ON 07/01/2013 TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, BUT IT IS RUNNING OK NOW. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS A RANDOM WAVERING IDLE SPEED. A FEW TIMES THE CAR HAS HUNTED BETWEEN 600-900 RPMS WHILE IN DRIVE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS JUST THE CAR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS BUT NOW I WONDER IF IT IS ALL RELATED. I AM NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER, STOP, RESTART AND THEN PROCEED. I TRIED BOTH TIMES THE THROTTLE DIED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, RESTART AND CONTINUE TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE A 2009 FORD FUSION AND HAVE NO SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON A HEAVILY CONGESTED ROAD AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WAS LIMPING ALONG. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND BE TOWED TO A FORD REPAIR FACILITY. WAS TOLD THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 65-70MPH THE GAS PEDDLE STOPPED WORKING, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT BUT DID HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS A TIME OR 2 TO GET IT STARTED. ENGINE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED 7 TIMES IN WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A 1HR 45 MIN TRIP. I PULLED INTO A FORD DEALER ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS FOR ME AND CAME UP WITH THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. I ONLY HAD 3 EPISODES ON THE WAY HOME. *TR

WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT IN RIGHT TURN LANE . LIGHT CHANGED AND I STARTED FORWARD THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND LIGHTS AND BUZZERS WENT OFF THERE WAS NO ONE STOPPED AT LIGHT IN OTHER LANE SO I WAS ABLE TO STEER SAFELY TO RIGHT AND CLEAR TRAFFIC. LIGHTS ON DASH SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND SOMETHING ABOUT ADVANCE TRAC. CALLED THE LOCAL FORD PLACE AND THEY SENT MAN TO CHECK PROBLEM. HE CRANKED ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. COULDN'T MAKE IT DO IT AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WRENCH WARNING ICON. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES WHEN TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. AN UNKNOWN REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND LOSE POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DO SO. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED IF OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED, IT RAN FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AS NO CODES HAD BEEN TRIPPED. I DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER INCIDENT UNTIL JUNE OF 2013 AT WHICH TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR AND AGAIN, THE VEHICLE JUST LOST ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON. LUCKILY WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ABLE AGAIN TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF AND RESTART. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN, NO CODE TRIPPED, NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER AND DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH, AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS JUNE 12, 2013 AND THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM. . ON JUNE 18, THE DEALER CALLED ME AND SAID I HAD TO BRING THE LOANER BACK BECAUSE THE PART THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE (THE PART BEING A THROTTLE BODY) WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO COME IN. IT IS NOW JUNE 26, 2013. THE PART IS STILL NOT IN, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS PART IS IN HIGH DEMAND!! WHAT SHOULD THAT TELL ANYONE???? MY CAR TO DATE ON AVERAGE LOSES ACCELERATION AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES A TRIP NO MATTER HOW FAR I DRIVE, IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! THUS, I

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. I MANAGED TO COAST OUT OF THE TRAFFIC AND GET TO A SAFE SPOT. I TRIED TO CALL DEALER BUT THEY WERE NOT OPEN YET. I SAT WITH CAR STILL RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES TO SEE IF IT WOULD SHIFT INTO GEAR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ENGINE STILL RUNNING BUT WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED NOTHING HAPPENED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR JUST SLOWS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD DO AT THIS TIME SO, I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING, SO I STARTED BACK ON THE ROAD ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT MANAGED TO GET ME TO WORK. I HAVE NOT GONE TO THE DEALER AS OF YET BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE FUSIONS ARE HAVING A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. IF I GO TO THE DEALER AND THE CAR IS NOT ACTING UP, I WILL BE PAYING FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINTS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AS THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *TR

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHT. ATTEMPTING TO REACH 55 MPH ONLY GOT TO ABOUT 45-50 MPH..I THEN LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE(NO ACCELERATION). WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE IDLED A LITTLE ROUGH. VERY LOW RPM. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE. NO RESPONSE,ONLY IDLE, LOW RPM.THEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE AND RESTARTED IT. NO MORE WRENCH LIGHT ICON. NO PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE DAY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TO TEST FOR CODES,NO CODES WERE FOUND. WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR IN WHEN WRENCH ICON IS ON TO TEST FOR CODE. I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE CAR SO I'M DRIVING IT EVERY DAY, BUT I WON'T DRIVE OVER 40 MPH UNTIL THE THROTTLE IS REPLACED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOOSE ACCELERATION POWER AND A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR TO GET GOING AGAIN. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES SINCE WITH THE SAME SCENARIO. LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK FRIDAY, 6/21/13, TRAVELING AT 65MPH AND LOST ALL POWER/ACCELERATION IN CENTER LANE ON FREEWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER, WHILE LOSING POWER. AN AMBER WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL - NO RPM'S, NO POWER - AT THIS MOMENT THE ENGINE BEGINS TO SPUTTER AND SHAKE AND I CANNOT KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND THE ENGINE ACTED NORMAL WHEN I PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. GAS DELIVERY AND RPM'S SEEMED APPROPRIATE. I ENTERED FREEWAY AGAIN AND APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AMBER WRENCH ON AND NO POWER. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND THEN STALLS. I AM NEAR MY DEALERSHIP, SO IT TAKES TWO MORE ATTEMPTS, BEFORE I MAKE IT THERE. NOW, IT GETS BETTER. I AM INFORMED THAT IT IS MY THROTTLE BODY AND THERE ARE 2000 PARTS ON BACKORDER FROM MICHIGAN. IT COULD BE ONE WEEK, MAYBE WEDNESDAY, 6/26/13, AND I WOULD BE ON A WAITING LIST WITH 8 OTHER PEOPLE. WHAT!!!!! WENT BACK THE NEXT MORNING, SATURDAY, 6/22/13, AND WAS GIVEN AN UPDATE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD BE UP TO TWO WEEKS FOR REPAIR AT OVER $500. I QUICKLY RESEARCH THIS ISSUE, AND FIND MANY OWNERS OF ALL DIFFERENT FORD MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND AS A LOYAL CONSUMER T

WHILE TAKING A FREEWAY EXIT RAMP, AN ALERT POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND MY STEERING IMMEDIATELY BECAME LABORED. I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING UNUSUAL AT THE TIME, SO MY IMMEDIATE ASSUMPTION WAS THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I BEGAN TO SLOW AS I NEARED THE EXIT RAMP, AND AT THIS POINT MY DASHBOARD SHOWED A "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ERROR AND A "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" ERROR MESSAGE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING. AT THIS POINT I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND INTO A PARKING LOT, SHUT OFF MY CAR, AND LET IT REST FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WHILE I READ THE FORD OWNER GUIDE FOR MORE INFORMATION. AFTER INSPECTING THE ENGINE AND FINDING NOTHING UNUSUAL, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING HAD RETURNED. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND IT HAS BEEN 24 HOURS, BUT I'M STILL WEARY OF TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS LEST MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAIL AGAIN. *TR

IN THE BEGINNING WHILE DRIVING I HAD THE WARNING LIGHT OF "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" COME ON, THE WHEEL WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO TURN SO I PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN AND STARTED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD RESET AND WORK FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE AT FIRST. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER SO I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS IF THE VEHICLE DIDN'T STORE A CODE THAT IT WOULD BE BEST FOR ME TO BRING IT IN ONCE THE WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON AND IT WOULDN'T RESET ITSELF. HE TOLD ME THIS BECAUSE A FEW WEEKS PRIOR SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE VEHICLE DIDN'T STORE A CODE.. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I HAD TO PAY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK. NO WORK WAS PERFORMED 2 DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE, I HAVE SINCE FIXED THE WRENCH LIGHT ISSUE AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. THESE 2 ITEMS WENT OUT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ARE UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO LOOSE ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN IS NOT GOOD AT ALL AND TO HAVE POWER STEERING FAILURE ON A 2011 VEHICLE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

WHILE GOING 75 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF A 4-LANE HIGHWAY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, THE CAR SHIFTED HARD, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AS THE CAR SLOWED, IT BEGAN LURCHING BACK AND FORTH. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO LURCH AFTER IT WAS PUT IN PARK. I TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE STARTER TURNED OVER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CARE STARTED BACK UP, BUT CAR MADE IT THE FINAL 25 MILES HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. SAME MANIFESTATION OF THE ISSUE TUESDAY EVENING ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK GOING ABOUT 25 MPH IN TRAFFIC. SAME RECOVERY. ON MY WAY TO AN OFFSITE WORK MEETING ON THURSDAY I WAS GOING ~45 MPH WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. WHEN I RETURNED FROM THE MEETING 45 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT ~50 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THERE ARE NONE AVAILABLE IN THE USA RIGHT NOW AND THAT THERE IS A 3-4 WEEK BACK ORDER. THOUGH THEY SEEM TO BE REPLACING A LOT OF THROTTLE BODIES, FORD CONTENDS THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TR

THE WRENCH ICON POPPED UP AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO CRANK BACK UP. TRIED AGAIN AND DROVE 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. PUT IN PARK, PUT IN DRIVE AND ALL IT DID WAS ROLL BACKWARDS. CUT IT OFF AND SAT AWHILE AND DROVE LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. *TR

I TRADED IN MY MERCEDES FOR A 2011 FORD FUSION WITH FFV TO BUY AMERICAN. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL UP TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR STALLED & SURGES AT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I LIMPED INTO THE FREEWAY SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE CAR. MY FAMILY HAS NEVER BEEN IN THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BEFORE. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A CAR WITH 30,000 MILES WILL HAVE THIS KIND OF A PROBLEM. I THINK FORD STILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH RELIABILITY. I'M GOING BACK TO GERMAN CARS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (55-65MPH) WHEN MY CARS GAS PEDAL HAD NO RESPONSE. I HAD TO CUT ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT ALL WITHOUT ACCELERATION ABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY IN MY 2011 FORD FUSION. P2111 AND P2112 SEEM TO BE A FAULTY PART. A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON FORUMS AND YOUTUBE SEEM TO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I LIVE IN A HEAVILY POPULATED CITY AND I COULD SEE THIS GOING A LOT WORSE FOR A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH. THE WRENCH (MECHANICAL) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE RPMS DROPPED. I STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AND DECREASED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE. I HAVE DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE ON OR ABOUT 16 MAY 2013. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FOUR LANE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH. I WAS ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE UP HILL. THE RPMS ON THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTINUED TO INCREASE. I QUICKLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPMS DID NOT DECREASE WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT AND TAP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH MY RIGHT FOOT IN ORDER TO GET THE ACCELERATOR UNSTUCK. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATOR UNSTUCK BEFORE I REACHED A RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE WITHOUT FURTHER INSTANCES UNTIL TODAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGH-SPEED LANE ON RT. 3N IN PLYMOUTH,MA WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER COMING FROM THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS ENOUGH MOMENTUM FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AS I WAS COASTING TO THE ROADSIDE THE WRENCH SYMBOL LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ABLE TO COME AWAY FROM THIS DANGEROUS INCIDENT SHAKEN BUT UNSCATHED. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY IN A TWO YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. AFTER FIVE DAYS I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE CAR TO BE FIXED, BECAUSE THE PART IS BACKORDERED. BY LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I NOW KNOW WHY THE PART IS BACKORDERED. IF SO MANY FORDS ARE HAVING A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PART? *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IGNITION TURNED OFF. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED AND WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES. ON THE WAY TO A FORD DEALER WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A U-TURN THE THROTTLE RESPONSE WAS AGAIN LOST, THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND THE CAR AGAIN STARTED NORMALLY......FORD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WHICH THEY DID NOT HAVE AND HAD TO BE ORDERED. *TR

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING. THERE IS NO CONTROL OF ACCELERATION. THIS DANGEROUS IF THIS DOES IT WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CODE ON THE ERROR IS PT1111 AND PT1112. FORD HAS NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND ON BACK ORDER. SOME ONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

TWICE WITHIN THE SAME WEEK WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE THROTTLE SUDDENLY DISENGAGED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SECOND TIME WAS DRIVING ON SURFACE STREET WHICH FORCED ME TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND COME TO A ROUGH STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS A WRENCH COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD. NOW WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING THE EVENTS WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. RECENTLY ITS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND THIS HAPPENED TO ME 9 TIMES IN UNDER A MILE. WHEN I TAKE IT TO GET THE READOUT THE COMPUTER SAYS CODE P2112. *TR

ON MY WAY HOME ON A 5 LANE ROAD, I WAS CRUISING AT ABOUT 45 MPH IN FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND EXPERIENCED THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE WHATSOEVER AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WAS ON AN INCLINE WHICH MADE IT EVEN HARDER TO GET PULLED OVER AS I LOST SPEED QUICKLY. I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET, BARELY AVOIDING A REAR END COLLISION. MY CAR SLOWED TO A CRAWL AND I PROCEEDED TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RE-STARTING THE ENGINE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS GONE AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH DURING HEAVY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN DIED AND I HAD TO QUICKLY VEER OFF TO THE SERVICE LANE DODGING HONKING, ANGRY DRIVERS NEARLY ALMOST GETTING HIT BY ONE. LUCKILY AN ACCIDENT WAS DIVERTED BY SMART DRIVING BY ME. AFTER COASTING TO A STOP, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THINKING IT WAS A MINOR HICCUP, I DROVE BACK ONTO THE ROAD. AFTER 10 MILES THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN AND NEARLY ANOTHER BRUSH WITH DEATH/ACCIDENT, I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND DROVE SLOWLY ALL THE WAY HOME WHICH IT DIED 2 MORE TIMES. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT FREEWAY SPEED. THREE OTHER INSTANCES SINCE THE VERY FIRST INCIDENT NOTED ABOVE. THREE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT BY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. GLASS DID NOT JUST SPIDERWEB, PIECES OF GLASS, INCLUDING SMALL SHARDS AND SLIVERS FELL INSIDE THE CAR AND INTO THE BACKSEAT. FORTUNATELY THE CAR SEATS HAD NO KIDS AT THE TIME, AS THERE WAS GLASS THERE. *TR

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND SYSTEM CHIMED. MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING, THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO CONTROL. UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN POWER STEERING. BRINGING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR

MY WIFE IN BUSY TRAFFIC AT RUSH HOUR FELT HER CAR BEGIN TO SHAKE BADLY, THEN LOSE POWER, SHE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NEARLY BEING HIT BY PASSING TRAFFIC. AT THE TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FORD ON MAY 10TH, PICKED IT UP ON JUNE 10TH, ON JUNE 11TH THE SAME PROBLEM... THIS CAR IS AGAIN AT FORD DEALERSHIP WITH WHAT IS BEING CALLED A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. WE WERE SCHEDULED TO TRAVEL OVER 900 MILES EACH WAY AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND HAVE CHOSEN AN ALTERNATIVE. WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE THAT WE'LL HAVE OUR VEHICLE BACK. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION, IN RESEARCHING I'M FINDING MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR CLOSE TO HAVING A SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHIN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,797. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 FORD FUSION ON 2/28/13 WITH JUST 24,320 MILES. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING MY VEHICLE DUE TO CONTINUAL STALLING. INITIALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL START (COLD ENGINE) IN THE MORNING WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM AND ALMOST DAILY. IF I LEAVE WORK AT LUNCHTIME TO RUN AN ERRAND (4 HOURS LATER) THE VEHICLE WILL STALL NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS FOLLOWED WITH IDLING VERY HIGH RPM?S (2,000). THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE PRESENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I AGAIN WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 1 WEEK AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE STALLING PROBLEM AND CLAIMED THAT THIS IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE CHANGE OVER FROM WINTER GAS TO SUMMER GAS. ON 6/15/13 I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO START WITH THE SMELL OF GAS PRESENT ONCE AGAIN. AFTER 2 HOURS OF SITTING IN THE GARAGE I TRIED ONCE AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED UP. I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I AM MUCH STRESSED, FRUSTRATED AND WANTING A NEW OPERABLE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND UPON RESTARTING, RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES ON THE THIRD VISIT; THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DETECT A TROUBLE COD E AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, LEFT LANE AT 72 MPH, CAR MADE A CLUNKING NOISE AND SHUDDERED, INSTANTLY LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ENGINE, TACH DROPPED TO 720 RPM, TRANSMISSION ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. PULLED OFF HIGHWAY TO SHOULDER. ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR. *TR

TRAVELING ON PENNSYLVANIA 476 SOUTH (TOLL ROAD). CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY IN AREA I WAS TRAVELING SO 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO SHOULDER. EMERGENCY PULL OFF RAMPS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 2-3 MILES ALONG CONSTRUCTION. TRAVELING DURING RUSH HOUR IN AM, PRESSED ACCELERATOR AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED HOWEVER CAR CONTINUED TO RUN JUST WITH NO POWER (LATER LEARNED THAT THIS IS WHAT FORD CALLS "LIMP MODE"). HAD JUST PASSED AND EMERGENCY PULL-OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO HAD TO DRIVE AT VERY LOW SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR) TO GET TO NEXT EMERGENCY PULL OFF 2 MILES AHEAD. VERY, VERY UNSAFE AS I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER (JERSEY BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES OF 2-LANE HIGHWAY). MANAGED TO "LIMP" TO EMERGENCY PULL OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A THROTTLE BODY (KNOWN FORD PROBLEM FOR 2011 FORD FUSION VEHICLES). ...IF FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, WHY NO RECALL? I WAS LUCKY AS THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN THE WORST POSSIBLE AREA YET I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND OR INJURED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. AS I SLOWED DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES AND DID THE SAME THING. AFTER SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME THING, THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! *TR

FIRST INCIDENT 4/5/13: WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH SOUTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 5 NEAR STADIUM WAY MY 2011 FORD FUSION WITHOUT WARNING LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY CHANGE IN THROTTLE POSITION VIA THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE FAR RIGHT-HAND LANE AND CONTINUE UPHILL ON THE TRANSITION LANE TO THE SOUTHBOUND 110 FREEWAY AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SPUTTER NEAR IDLE. A CHP (CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL) OFFICER ESCORTED ME OFF THE FREEWAY. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT RAN FINE. I PURCHASED A OBD II SCANNER AND CHECKED FOR ANY STORED CODES, NO CODES WERE FOUND. I CONTINUED TO MONITOR MY VEHICLE VIA THE OBD II SCAN TOOL AND NO CODES WERE RECORDED. SECOND INCIDENT 6/13/13: WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH EASTBOUND IN THE NUMBER 1 LANE ON INTERSTATE 10 MY 2011 FORD FUSION ONCE AGAIN VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY CHANGE IN THROTTLE POSITION VIA THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN MY ATTEMPT TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER TRAVELING OVER 40 MPH, THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD ALSO BECOME HEAVY AND RESISTANT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE ELECTRONIC FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED. A WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR STARTED LURCHING FORWARD AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY TWO OTHER VEHICLES FROM THE REAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST ANOTHER 20 TIMES SINCE THEN. I'VE SPOKEN WITH FORD OVER THE PHONE REPEATEDLY AND EXPLAINED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS WEB SITES DISCUSSING THIS AS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. BUT FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65MPH. THE CAR JERKED AND THE CRUISE KICKED OFF AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED AT THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEED REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE THROTTLE BODY IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO RELEASE DATE. *TR

WAS IN FAST LANE ON RTE 78 IN NJ.. SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. COULD NOT GET TO THE SHOULDER. DROVE INTO GRASS MEDIUM. CAME CLOSE TO HAVING A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I GOT VEHICLE RESTARTED AND BROUGHT IT TO NAZARETH FORD. AS WE RUN A FLEET OF FUSIONS, I CONSULTED A CO-WORKER WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND FORD CONFIRMED IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. I SPOKE TO MY COMPANY'S FLEET MGR. AND SHE SAID THIS WAS THE THIRD FAILURE THIS MONTH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE SET AT 75 MPH, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, AND I EXPERIENCED NO RESPONSE WHILE STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THOUGH THIS WAS VERY SCARY IN THE TRAFFIC I WAS IN, I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO COAST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER (AFTER UPSETTING MANY DRIVERS AROUND ME) AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AFTER A MINUTE, I DECIDED TO SHUT OFF MY CAR, AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART, AND DRIVE AS NOTHING HAPPENED. UNFORTUNATELY, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION THE NEXT DAY, ONLY AT A LOWER SPEED (55 MPH), AND NOT WITH AS MUCH TRAFFIC. ON THE 3RD DAY, WHILE ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, FORD SAYS I EXPERIENCED A P2112 CODE, AND ALMOST 3 WEEKS LATER, FORD STILL HAS MY CAR BECAUSE THE PART (THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY) IS NOT AVAILABLE; COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
