I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY MY SPEED DROPPED TO 5 MPH. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF MY CAR. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER I TRAVELED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IN A MINUTE OR TWO AND AGAIN WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY TRAVELS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY DESTINATION WAS ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY. I CALLED THE DEALER, GANLEY FORD, THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN THAT DAY. THE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK FOR THE PART TO COME IN. TO MY SURPRISE IT ONLY TOOK THREE DAYS FOR IT...

TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THIS MORNING, WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWS TO A CRAWL, AND I LOSE POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL. I JUST MISS BEING HIT BY A SEMI-TRACTOR WHICH HAD BEEN BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO MOTION MY CAR ACROSS THREE LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED TO RUN NORMAL UNTIL ABOUT 50 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT THIS POINT. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE NOW SURE WHAT THE CAUSE IS, BUT HAVE SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

ON JUNE 18, 2013 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I WAS STOPPED A YIELD SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR WHICH WOULD ALLOW ME TO ENTER A MAIN ROAD. WHEN TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGAN TO PROCEED. WITHIN ONE OR TWO SECONDS I LOST ALL POWER IN MY ACCELERATOR AND THE RPMS WERE NOT MOVING IN MY DASHBOARD. AS I STEERED MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MY CAR BEGAN TO JERK AS I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK; ROUGHLY 100 FEET FROM WHERE I PULLED FROM. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE WRENCH ON THE DASHBOARD TURN ON WHEN MY VEHICLE CAME TO REST. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. I WAITED SEVERAL SECONDS THEN TURN THE CAR ON. IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING BUT DID START. I NOTICED THE WRENCH ON AGAIN BUT IT QUICKLY TURNED OFF. IF THE...

4TH INCIDENT WITH MY 2010 FUSION SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I PICKED IT UP FROM THE FORD SERVICE 6/18 AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, AGAIN. I DROVE TO WORK, NO PROBLEMS. GOT OFF WORK, DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THE CAR SPUTTERED, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, NOTHING HAPPENS. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT SPUTTERED SOME MORE AND SHUTS OFF. FORD KEEPS MAKING REPAIRS TO MY CAR SAYING THEY'VE FIXED IT BUT IT'S NOT FIXED. NOW I HAVE $1,200 IN REPAIR BILLS AND NO CAR. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND VERY STRESSED OVER THIS. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP GOING THROUGH THIS DANGER OF DRIVING A CAR THAT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF! AND AS I SEE FROM OTHER FORD OWNERS, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE,...

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, WHEN MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE LOST POWER AND WAS JERKING FORWARD. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. INDICATOR LIGHT FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED, AFTER WHICH THE VEHICLE RAN FINE AGAIN. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MORE MILES, CAR DID THE SAME THING. I AGAIN RESTARTED AND VEHICLE RAN FINE AGAIN, THIS TIME RUNNING LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET HOME. WHILE DRIVING IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, IT DID THIS AGAIN, THIS TIME AT SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MPH. VEHICLE WOULD DRIVE BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. DEALER SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THIS PART IS ON BACKORDER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MODERATELY TRAVELED ROAD, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER WHERE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR (NOTHING HAPPENED). I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SOME WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY (NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH) AND I PROCEEDED HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A BUSIER ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED RESTARTING IT. ONCE I GOT IT RESTARTED, I HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING THE THROTTLE BODY. MY ISSUE IS THAT IT CAN COMPLETELY CATCH THE DRIVER OFF GUARD AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT VERY OLD AND THE MANUFACTURER SEEMS TO BE CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PART (ONLY...

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER AND START SHAKING SPORADICALLY. THE CAR WILL NOT STALL BUT IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED. THE CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED TO STOP BEHAVIOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AFTER THE BEHAVIOR PERSISTED FOR ABOUT A WEEK. BROUGHT CAR TO AN AUTO ZONE FOR AN ODBII READING. THE CODES THAT WERE REPORTED ARE AS FOLLOWS: P2111: THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN. P0457: EVAP SMALL LEAK DETECTED BROUGHT CAR TO FORD DEALER AS PROBLEM PERSISTED. FORD DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. *TR

I HAD COME TO A STOP LIGHT AND WAS TURNING RIGHT WHEN THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. SECOND TIME ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS TURNING ONTO A ENTRANCE RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE AND WAS ACCELERATING WHEN IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS IDLING WHEN THE CAR TOTALLY CUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT DROVE 5 MILES AND IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DOING A STEADY 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY WHEN I WAS DOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. EACH TIME, I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR WHICH RAN NORMALLY AFTER THAT. *TR

WAS DRIVING INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON DASH BOARD. HAS HAPPENED 3-5 TIMES SINCE, IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

I HAD JUST STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO THE RAMP TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY 2010 FORD FUSION SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. IT TOOK 3 TIMES OF TRYING TO RE-START IT. FINALLY STARTED AND TAKING ALL SIDE ROADS, I MADE IT HOME. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN, BUT LAST FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2013, I HAD LEFT THE GROCERY STORE WITH A TRUNK FULL OF GROCERIES, AND HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO THE HWY. IT DIED ON THE TURN AND SHOOK WORSE THAN EVER. I MANAGED TO ONCE AGAIN COAST TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 OR 8 TIMES BEFORE I GOT HOME THAT DAY. IT HAS...

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I FELT A SHUDDER AND REALIZED I WAS LOSING FORWARD MOMENTUM. RPMS DROPPED AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. A WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. ONLY COASTING, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. CAR HAD A VERY SHAKY IDLE, LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 1 MIN, THEN TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. CAR TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL TO TURN BACK ON, BUT ONCE IT WAS BACK ON IT SEEMED FINE. WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. FIVE DAYS AFTER FIRST INCIDENT, SAME EVEN OCCURRED AGAIN, WITH TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SEEMING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME. NO ELECTRICAL, BRAKING, OR POWER-STEERING POWER WAS LOST....

WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING MY CAR TO START TO LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY. I WAS IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, MAKING THIS ISSUE THAT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE WITHOUT HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD PULL SAFELY OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT SEEMED TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOW PUT MY CAR OUT OF COMMISSION UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THE COST OF REPAIR IS OVER $400. UPON RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT, BUT WILL NOT COVER UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAVE BECAUSE IT IS AN "EMISSIONS" PART. I MUST STATE THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY CAR AND LIKE THE WAY IT DRIVES, BUT AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED SINCE IT IS COMMON ENOUGH FOR THE DEALER...

DRIVING AND LOST POWER, CAR ENGINE DIED. WRENCH ICON CAME ON ON THE GER INDICATOR. SPUTTERED WHEN COMING TO STOP AND HAD TO SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTART. WHEN RESTARTED I HAD NO ODEMETER OR GAS MILEAGE INDICATOR ON DASH. DID ANOTHER 2 TIMES UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION, APPROX 3 -5 MILES AWAY. I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN HAPPENED AND I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND EXPLAINED AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE WAS 95% SURE IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. HE ALSO STATED I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET FIXED RIGHT AWAY AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF NO PARTS AVAILABLE AS A KNOWN ISSUE. HAD TO FINALLY STOP AT A FORD DEALER ON SUNDAY ON OUR RETURN TRIP AS KEPT HAPPENING, REPEATEDLY AND TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER AS WE WERE NOT GETTING ANY FURTHER THAN 5 MILES APART BEFORE IT KEPT HAPPENING AND 2...

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH A WRENCH LIGHT. THE CAR NO LONGER ACCELERATES AND STARTS STOPPING. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED IT STARTS SHAKING. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WITH THE LAST ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING. SHE AS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. SHE MANAGED TO SOMEHOW GET IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS IT WAS DYING AND SHAKING. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE PART SO IT CAN'T BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. IT SEEMS IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE MIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION (40000 MILES) SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT STALLED AND WOULD NO LONGER MOVE UNTIL IT WAS SHUT OFF AND CRANKED BACK UP. I HAD TO MANEUVER MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY BY COASTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT RECENTLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER A RED LIGHT. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD. YOU MUST DEPEND ENTIRELY ON COASTING TO SAFETY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING . THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD POSSIBLY TAKE 8 WEEKS TO GET A NEW ONE SINCE SO MANY ARE...

WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY APPROX 40 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF, COASTED TO SIDE OF RODE, TURNED KEY TWICE, NO LUCK, THEN 3RD TIME IT CRANKED BACK UP, THEN DROVE SLOWLY ANOTHER MILE TO HOME.SCARED ME, HAVING RECENTLY BEEN IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT (NO FAULT OF MY OWN) COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR ENDED AGAIN!!! MAYBE A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED??? *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES ENGINE JUST WOULD DIE AND RESTART AFTER PULLING OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND RESTARTING. I JUST CHUCKED IT UP TO BAD GAS AS WE HAVE HAD A SLEW OF REPORTS ON THIS IN MY AREA. ON WED JUNE 12TH WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH IN BUSY TRAFFIC I IN THE MIDDLE OF 3 LANES IT DECIDES TO AGAIN LOOSE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IDLE...NO WHERE TO GO CARS ZOOMING UP ON ME AND HONKING AND SLAMMIN ON THERE BRAKES!. I PULL OVER FINALLY AND TURN KEY OFF AND RESTARTS EASILY. UPON GETTIN OFF INTERSTATE IT CONTINUES TO STALL AT WILL. PULLED INTO AUTOZONE AND HAVE IT CHECKED FOR ERROR CODE AND SAID WAS FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. UPON LOOKING UP ON LINE I WAS AMAZED THAT THIS IS SO COMMON WITH THE MOTOR TRENDS CAR OR THE YEAR IN 2010! AND STILL NO RECALL FROM FORD! I FEEL...

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY BRING THE ENGINE DOWN TO IDLE OR STALL THE CAR COMPLETELY AND SEND A P2111 OR P2112 ERROR CODE (THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN/CLOSE, RESPECTIVELY) AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN ORDER TO BRING THE CAR BACK INTO A NORMAL RUNNING STATE. RESETTING THE CAR DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL GO AWAY, AND ABOUT 40-50% OF THE TIME THE CAR STALLS AGAIN RIGHT AFTER ATTEMPTING TO RE-ENTER TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE WILL COMMONLY HAPPEN WHEN MAKING TURNS, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT LIMITED TO THAT SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE STOPPED RESPONDING TO ACCELERATOR AND ONLY COASTED. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. UNABLE TO MOVE CAR FORWARD OTHER THAN COAST. ENGINE ROUGH IDLED BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN TRAFFIC. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WRENCH WARNING ICON AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 1,000 AND THE CURRENT FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. THERE WAS NO INDICATION AT ALL THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG PRIOR TO THE DECELERATING AND SHAKING. THE RAPID DECELERATION CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO SWERVE INTO THE OTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME. I HIT THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO WARN DRIVERS BEHIND ME AND WITH SOME DIFFICULTLY (DUE TO THE SHAKING) WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I WAS SAFELY OUT OF TRAFFIC I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A MOMENT TO CALM MYSELF AS IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ON A BUSY STREET. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE DASH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY. WHEN I GOT BACK TO...

VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND VIRTUALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. 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. THIS IS VERY WELL KNOWN WITH THIS CAR AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. 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. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 70 MILES AN HOUR, SOUTHBOUND IN THE HOV LANE OF I-95 NEAR EXIT 2B IN ALEXANDRIA VA. THE AREA IS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH BARRICADES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TWO LANE HOV FACILITY. SUDDENLY, AND ABRUPTLY, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP IN A MANNER THAT BLOCKED THE RIGHT LANE OF THE HOV FACILITY. THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING IN A ROUGH IDLE, AND THE ENGINE/WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR (SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING THE CAR BACK ON TRYING A VARIETY OF SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO N OR P). THE CAR WOULD RUN, BUT ALWAYS AT A ROUGH IDLE WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. DURING THIS TIME, THERE WERE SEVERAL NEAR REAR-END COLLISIONS DUE TO MOTORISTS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BEFORE ENCOUNTERING MY COMPLETELY STOPPED VEHICLE. REALIZING THE PERIL I WAS IN, I QUICKLY...

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...

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.

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...

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

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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

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 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...

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

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

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

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

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

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR THE ENGINE LOST RPM, WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS AND CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL. AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. REPEATED RESTARTS OF THE ENGINE MET WITH LOW RPM AND SURGING ENGINE CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD NOT "SETTLE DOWN" BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. AFTER LEAVING THE ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY - TOMORROW, JUNE 3RD). THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 19, 2013. [SEE NHTSA ODI REFERENCE NUMBER 10500133]. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CAR LOSS ALL POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY IN A JERKING MOTION WITH AN ILLUMINATION OF THE WRENCH SYMBOL. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NINE TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE TRYING TO GET HOME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON REMAINED ON ONCE WE ARRIVED HOME. CAR HAS BEEN AT FORD DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS NOW WAITING ON A FUEL BODY THROTTLE WHICH IS APPARENTLY ON BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE. WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS MECHANICAL ISSUE IS BEYOND ME! *TR

DATE OF INCIDENT OR CRASH WAS 4/18/2013, NOT ON APRIL 18, 2012 AS WAS PREVIOUSLY STATED... *TR
