Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE THROTTLE BODY FAILS PUTTING THE CAR INTO "LIMP MODE". ACCELERATION IS IMPOSSIBLE AND THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER A SINGLE SEARCH ONLINE FOR "FORD FUSION THROTTLE BODY" NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF SIMILAR FAILURES APPEAR BEGINNING IN APPROXIMATELY 2005. THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BUT MAINTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS OCCURRED TO ME WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS MAINTAIN A STOCK OF THROTTLE BODY UNITS TO REPLACE. THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT VERY HIGH BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF STALLING OUT AND LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *KB
