Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES VARYING FROM ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH. 2011 FORD FUSION SEL SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER AND WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATES AND NO ACCELERATION HAPPENS AT ALL. THE ENGINE REMAINS AT IDLE WITH FLUCTUATIONS FROM 800-1200 RPMS. HAD TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES AND WAS ALMOST RAN INTO BY THREE CARS GOING A LOT FASTER THAN ME WHILE I WAS LISTING TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. ONCE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND THE ONE TIME IT SHOWED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I RAN THE CODES AND IT ALL WAS POINTING TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ASPECT ON THIS CAR AND JUST HOPE SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO GET KILLED ON THE ROAD LIKE I ALMOST DID TO GET A RECALL ON THIS CAR AND PART. *TR
