NHTSA Complaint #10903778 — 2016 FORD FUSION

2016 FORD FUSION, 2.5L ENGINE, 10,500 MILES. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A TWO LANE ROAD, CONSTANT SPEED, 55MPH, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE STALLING. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT TURNED ON, I CYCLED THE IGNITION AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. AFTER STOPPING FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, I CONTINUED ON MY JOURNEY HOME ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY INTO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY STALLING OF THE ENGINE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I RECYCLED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT I COULD DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT STALLING ONLY BY PUSHING THE THROTTLE VERY LIGHTLY. I GOT THE CAR HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY USING VERY LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION. DEALER VERIFIED ISSUE AND REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY: "VERIFIED STALLING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IDS RETRIEVE CODE P2112, PERFORMED PPT DV, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY PER PPT. CLEARED CODE AND RETEST. SYSTEM PASSED"
