SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED, ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT DURING THE INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE SENSOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED A COMPUTER, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SPEED SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER AND DECELERATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CALIBRATION NEEDED TO BE UPDATED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,600.

SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH NO GAS CAP MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. ANY LITTLE BIT OF DIRT I DRIVE YET GETS INTO THE SEAL OF THE GAS TANK SO MY ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON AND STATES THERE IS SOME SORT OF LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT IN TO PAY AND ARM AND A LEG FOR THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO BLOW OUT THE SEAL. SO MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF THERE IS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE OR IF IT'S JUST THAT DIRT IN THE SEAL OF THE GAS TANK. BIG MISTAKE BY FORD AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT OR THEY WILL DEFINITELY LOSE MY BUSINESS...WHICH I'VE BEEN FORD LOYAL SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE. I WILL ALSO DETER ANYONE ELSE I KNOW FROM BUYING FOR JUST...

TWICE THE VEHICLE RAN PROPERLY AND WAS PARKED. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT RAN FINE FOR SOME SECONDS. AS I PULLED INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE INEXPLICABLY LOST NEARLY ALL POWER. THE ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AT ALL. I COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME LOSS OF POWER AND VERY ROUGH IDLING. THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON BOTH TIMES, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER TIME. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT, THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. *TR

DRIVING ON I-10 FROM BILOXI TO DIAMONDHEAD MS CAR LOSES POWER PULL OVER CAR STARTS AGAIN DRIVE 5MILES QUITS AGAIN DRIVE OUT OF GAS STATION ACROSS STREET CAR QUITS AGAIN HAVE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP STARTS THEY CAN'T GET IT TO QUIT I PICK UP CAR DRIVE IT HOME RUNS DRIVE TO CAR WASH RUNS OK WHEN WILL IT QUIT AGAIN WE WILL SEE. *TR

WIFE CALLED ME AT 6.15 AM ON HER WAY TO WORK AND ADVISED THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WRENCH LIGHT, SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE NEXT 3 MINUTES THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH JUST THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I TOLD HER NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND TO SEE IF IT WOULD START TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE. I WILL NOW BRING THIS VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO JERKING, CLUNKING AND NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THERE IS CERTAINLY A TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE, RECALL OR HAVE FORD FIX THE ISSUE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THANKS YOU *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE AT 30MPH DRIVING SPEED. VEHICLE SOON STALLED LOSING ENGINE POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. FORD OBD CODE P2111, THROTTLE ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN. REPLACED FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WITH NEW TO REMEDY SITUATION. ERASED OBD CODES. NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS COMPLAINT WILL ALSO BE FORWARDED TO FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER UNDER ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE. THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO SEND OUT A RECALL YET. *TR

CAR LOST POWER AT 70 WHILE ON CRUISE ON THE HIGHWAY LOST SPEED AND DROPPED DOWN TO 40, WENT INTO LIMP MODE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SCANNED CAR CODE P2119 PRESENT FORD REPLACED (NO CHARGE) THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY UNDER A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13B17. *TR

MY VEHICLE SUFFERED THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WILL IDEL ROUGH THERE WILL BE A SURGE AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" . THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AT LIGHTFROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED THEN HESITATED THE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. ATT HAT POINT THE CAR WAS IN "LIMP HOME MODE" THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE PROBLEM. CONTACTED FORD AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON OVER 1 MILLION FOR VEHICLES. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO EXTEND THIS "CSP" TO A LARGER RANGE OF VIN NUMBERS AND ASSEMBLY PLANTS. *TR

TOOK CAR IN TO TROPICAL FORD IN ORLANDO FOR DRIVEABILITY RECALL. THEY CLAIMED TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. NOW ON SEPT. 6 THE CAR IS LOSING POWER AND STALLING OUT. ALSO THE WRENCH ICON IS SHOWING ON THE DASH WHICH IN THE MANUAL STATES THE ISSUE IS THE THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION. I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER SEPT. 8 TO HAVE REPAIRED. I SUSPECT IS ETB CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM, A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS/RECALL REPAIRS ONLINE. *TR

TRAVELING ON N.J. PARKWAY...SUDDENLY, ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF ACCELERATOR. HAD BEEN IN MIDDLE LANE AT THE TIME AND AS I TRIED TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD CARS HAD TO SWERVE INTO AROUND ME BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I REPORTED THIS TO DEALER, BUT SERVICE MANGER ACCREDITED THE PROBLEM TO WATER IN GAS LINE OR DIRT IN FILTER. AS OF THIS WRITING, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FROM THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS, HAD IT REPAIRED 2 WEEKS AGO, BUT TODAY, SAME PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT INTO IDLE AND IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A SHAKING HALT. THIS THEN HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES AS I MADE MY WAY ON LOCAL ROADS TO A FORD DEALER. ALSO FORTUNATELY, THE DEALER REPAIRED MY CAR (REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED), WHICH WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, FREE OF CHARGE. I DON'T KNOW WHY SUCH A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. *TR

JUST AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PULLING OUT TO DRIVE, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON....THEN WHILE DRIVING THE ACCELERATION STOPS AND GOES TO 20 MILES PER HOUR OR LESS, THEN KICKS IN AND ACCELERATES AND DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN....I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR, START THE CAR AGAIN, THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OUT THEN THE CAR OPERATES NORMALLY. TOOK IT TO MCFARLAND FORD IN EXETER NH, AFTER READING INFORMATION ABOUT THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION. WAS DOING THE EXACT THING EVERYONE ELSE SAID THEIR CAR WAS DOING. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DUE TO THROTTLE BODY AND TO BRING THE CAR IN AT NO COST....COMPANY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. WHILE IT WAS THERE BEING "FIXED", THE MANAGER SAID HE COULDN'T COME UP WITH THE CODE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT A CODE THAT IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY CAME UP AND IS...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 55 MPH, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DEACTIVATED T HE CRUISE CONTROL AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT STOPPED RESPONDING TO PRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR. I STEERED THE VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ON TO AN EXIT RAMP, WITH BRAKES AND STEERING UNAFFECTED. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING AND THE CAR SHAKING. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS. REPAIR SHOP EMPLOYEES SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT BECAUSE THE CAR COMPUTER HAD NOT RECORDED THE CODES, THEY WEREN'T SURE. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IF THE THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED, IT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. *JB

THIS CAR HAS CONTINUALLY HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2012 AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER WE BEGAN LOSING POWER DURING OPERATION (A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN!). THE CAR STALLS OUT, THE WRENCH LIGHT (AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT) COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHAKES. TWO TRANSMISSIONS LATER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. HAPPENING AGAIN YESTERDAY (A WEEK AFTER WE HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN). THERE IS NO CODE FOR THE DEALER TO RECOGNIZE. THE ONLY THING WE KEEP GETTING FROM THIS CAR IS THE STRESS OF FAILURE AND SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER. CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AT IDLE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN A MILE OR SO LATER. *TR

VEHICLE BROKE DOWN LAST EVENING, STALLED WITH WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED FAULTY ELECTRONIC SIGNAL IN THE THROTTLE BODY. DEALER HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY FOR $397. (NOTE: MAFS WAS REPLACED IN THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY, 2010, ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT -- NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELEVANT OR NOT.) FORD CURRENTLY HAS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM #13N03 FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THROTTLE BODIES FOR OTHER 2010 FUSIONS, BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PROGRAM. PERHAPS IT WOULD BE WISE FOR FORD TO TAKE A SECOND LOOK TO DETERMINE IF THEIR CURRENT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED? *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH WHEN MY GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING, IT WOULD NOT MAKE MY CAR ACCELERATE. THE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO 1000-1500 AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AS I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR JUMPED AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS STALLING OUT. THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH ALSO ILLUMINATED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET THE CAR RUN FOR ABOUT 1O MORE MINUTES BEFORE IT STALLED OUT.THINKING THAT MY CAR WAS BROKEN DOWN AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO GET IT TOWED. BEFORE I CALLED FOR A TOW I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WHEN I DID, IT RAN FINE. *JS

CAR STALLED ALL OF A SUDDEN TRAVELING 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. THE THROTTLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I WAS FORCED TO ABRUPTLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR SPUTTERED WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT AWAY AND THE ENGINE STARTED PROPERLY. I DIAGNOSED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND GOT TWO CODES, P2111 AND P2112. THE THROTTLE BODY IS GETTING STUCK OPEN AND STUCK CLOSED CAUSING THE CAR TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE TRAVELING ON A BUSY ROAD AND COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE INJURY IF SOMEONE IS UNABLE TO REACT TO THE SITUATION DUE TO THEIR CAR BEING INOPERABLE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND CAR SPUTTERS AND ENGINE BRAKES. ALMOST REAR ENDED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY. LOOKED UP ISSUE AND FOUND THE IS ALREADY A RECALL FORD WARRANTY PROGRAM NUMBER 13N03 BUT DEALERSHIP STATED MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. CALLED FORD THEY ALSO SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. MY 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT HAS THEY SAME ISSUES AS CARS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER SAID PROGRAM. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AT SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO MYSELF. MORE CARS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS PROGRAM AND RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

AS I PULLED OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET GOING TO WORK MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO GAS, I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN A WEAK ATTEMPT AT A LURCH. I HAD TO PULL OVER (PARTIALLY OFF OF THE ROAD) INTO A NEIGHBOR'S YARD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A LARGE TRANSPORT TRUCK COMING UP ON ME RAPIDLY. I PUSHED IT INTO A "TURNED AROUND" POSITION AND BETWEEN PUSHING AN THE LURCHING GOT BACK HOME. THE ROAD I WAS ON WAS TOO NARROW AND TOO BUSY TO JUST LEAVE IT. I HAVE A HISTORY OF BACK SURGERY AND THIS DID NOT HELP!!!! AFTER I GOT IT TO THE HILL NEAR MY HOME I COASTED IN STILL WITH NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS. THERE WAS AN ORANGE LIGHT ON WITH A WRENCH PICTURE. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS SITES WITH OTHERS HAVING...

SLOWED DOWN ON HIGHWAY TO MAKE RIGHT TURN INTO SHOPPING CENTER. LOST POWER. HAD TO TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART. HAPPENED AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,560.

WHEN I START MY CAR AND DRIVE OUT OF PARKING IT SPUTTERS FOR A BIT. THEN LATER ON I WILL COMPLETELY LOOSE THE ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. IT WILL WORK FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN I LOOSE ACCELERATION AGAIN. HAS HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, AT A INTERSECTION, AND SIDE ROADS. I HAD THE THROTTLE REPLACED AND IT STILL HAPPENS...... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO 25 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. A PRIVATE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF MID-DRIVE. FOLLOWED BY THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A WRENCH LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP. A WEEK AGO WE RECEIVED LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FORD SAYING THAT OUR VEHICLE IS ELIGIBLE FOR NEW THROTTLE BODY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES SINCE MANUFACTURED, WHICH PERFECTLY EXPLAINED OUR PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO FORD, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. HOWEVER, ONLY A WEEK LATER THE CAR IS BACK TO THE SAME THROTTLE BODY PART PROBLEM. ON SATURDAY, 6/28/14 AT AROUND 11:40PM THE CAR TURNS OFF MID-DRIVE RIGHT BEFORE I CROSS OVER A MAJOR INTERSECTION, RT 130 AND RT 30 IN COLLINGSWOOD, NJ AREA. I QUICKLY BRAKED AND TURNED THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF BEFORE I PASSED THE WHITE LINE. I SAT THROUGH AN ENTIRE GREEN AND RED LIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AGAIN, I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE RPMS DECREASED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WE HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 175 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WITH NO WARNING AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS DID THE SYMBOL OF A WRENCH. I PULLED OFF TO SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. STEPPING ON THE GAS DID NOT RAISE THE ENGINE SPEED. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS NOTHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IT STARTED AND RAN JUST FINE. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. ABOUT 16 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THERE WAS A SMALL FORD DEALER A FEW MILES AWAY SO I TOOK IT IN. THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND INDICATED THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE AVAILABLE. HE...

I NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE CAR TENDS TO SHIFT HARD (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). NOW I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMING ON, THE CAR STALLING, AND STARTS SHIMMYING AND SHAKING. HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER, THIS MORNING, I HAD THE SAME INCIDENT OCCUR. IT IS NOW BACK AT THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND HOPEFULLY FIXED WITHOUT ANY COST TO ME. I WILL BE TRADING THIS FORD FOR ANOTHER MAKE OF CAR. I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN I OWNED A FORD EDGE AND TRADED IT IN. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD EDGE MYTOUCH SCREEN GOING OUT ON ME AS WELL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING, EVEN AS I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR. THE LIGHTS, RADIO AND A/C STAYED ON. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF AT LEAST 50 MPH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. AS I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THE CAR RUMBLED AND SHUDDERED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I WAITED A MINUTE, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. FORD COVERED THE PROBLEM UNDER AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" FOR A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM, BUT I FEEL THAT MY SAFETY WAS IN JEOPARDY BY NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT AT HIGH SPEED. IN THIS AREA, HAVING A CAR SUDDENLY DIVE FROM 50 MPH TO ALMOST NOTHING CAN GET YOU KILLED. THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL, RATHER THAN WAITING TO SEE WHO SURVIVES THE PROBLEM TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT STALLED, BUT IT ACTUALLY HAD NOT. BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD IT BEGAN VIOLENTLY JERKING THE WHOLE CAR. GAS AND BRAKE CONTROLS WERE EFFECTED AND THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY AND DIFFICULT TO STOP IT FROM MOVING FORWARD ONCE I GOT OFF THE ROAD. I QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS A WRENCH LIGHT DURING THIS INCIDENT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I STARTED TO DRIVE TO THE BODY SHOP I USE AND AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES IT DID IT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND I WAS SCARED I WOULD BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. AFTER MAKING IT OFF...

I WAS TRAVELING ON A SECONDARY ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN WITH OUT WARNING THERE WAS A SUDDEN POWER FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DESK AND WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE A "COMPUTER GLITCH". I STARTED AND DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 3 MILES BACK HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TRIED ABOUT 5 TIMES IN OUR LONG DRIVE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE I COULD NOT DUPLICATE, I DECIDED TO CONTINUE ON MY ERRANDS. THIS TIME I TRAVELED ABOUT 5 MILES AND THE SAME POWER FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE AND AFTER 36 HRS HAD MY CAR BACK. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (13N03) AT NO EXPENSE TO ME. LUCKILY FOR ME MY EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ON A RURAL ROAD. HAD IT HAPPENED ON A MULTILANE, HIGH SPEED ROAD A VERY...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER AND I HAD TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN ON AGAIN HELPED FOR A BIT THEN ENGINE STARTED STUMBLING AGAIN. DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT REVEALED ERROR CODE P2111, THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM -STUCK OPEN. FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN (13N03) FOR THIS ISSUE THAT IS NOT ADVERTISED TO CONSUMERS UNLESS THEY RESEARCH THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. *TR

FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE THROTTLE BODY FOR MY 2010 FORD FUSION. I RECEIVED MULTIPLE LETTERS IN THE MAIL LETTING ME KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS RECEIVING THIS WARRANTY. YESTERDAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATION AND MADE AN EXTREME JERK MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FREEWAY- THIS COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS AND ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE HIT ME. TODAY, I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS A SALVAGED TITLE, FORD WOULD NOT FIX THE THROTTLE BODY COMPONENT. I AM NOT COVERED FOR THEIR STUPID EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. FORD NEEDS A FULL RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY, FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE BEYOND WARRANTY COVERAGE. THEY ALREADY CONNED ME INTO AN UNNECESSARY $1400 REPAIR BEFORE, NOW I FEEL THAT I AM ONLY BEING CONNED AGAIN. OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES FORD! I'M TIRED OF HAVING MY SAFETY AT RISK BECAUSE OF YOU! *TR

THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER. I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LEFT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT RAN. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, WHERE FORD REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY. DROVE THE CAR FOR THREE WEEKS AFTER THAT WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE ONCE AGAIN FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL. IT SHUDDERED AS HE DROVE, AND HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE AT A VERY LOW SPEED. HE WAS VERY WORRIED THAT HE WOULD GET HIT BY OTHER FASTER CARS. HE GOT IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. WE ARE REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD CARS GENERALLY. *TR

I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND AS I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS IT JUST INCREASED RPM'S BUT DIDN'T MOVE THE CAR. I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND IT BEGAN TO RUN AGAIN, BUT LOST ALL COMPUTER INFORMATION SO THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, I WAS DRIVING DOWN RT 28 IN FAIRFAX, VA. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF. NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES, TO SPEED. THE CAR BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR ENDING ME. I MADE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TOOK MY CAR TO KOONS FORD STERLING, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I GOGGLED IT AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THAT FORD HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I PAID TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. FAST FORWARD...............THREE WEEKS AGO WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD TELLING US THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS NOW BEING RECALLED AND IF WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE WORK DONE, WE SHOULD...

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY "STALL" (ENGINE STAYS RUNNING, BUT LOSES ALL POWER). CAN TURN OFF ENGINE, AND RESTART VEHICLE AND WILL RUN. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS NO "CODE" HAS BEEN STORED, SO DEALER WOULD PROVIDE NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. *JS

DRIVING TO WORK CAR HAD A THUMP THEN LOSS OF POWER(COULDN'T ACCELERATE ) AND AMBER WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS I COULD. ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGH. PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF CAR FOR 2 SECONDS, AND TURNED BACK ON. CAR RAN FINE, UNTIL 3 DAYS LATER WHEN EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR ~20 MINUTES AND THE ENGINE WARMING UP, THE ENGINE WILL SURGE WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER BRAKING. THERE IS ALSO A SMELL OF GAS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE ENGINE IS DIFFICULT TO START. ONCE STARTED IT RUNS ROUGH FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WANTS TO LURCH AWAY. *TR

DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE, ON MY WAY TO WORK. TURNED OFF THE CRUISE AND THE CAR "BUCKED." THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WOULD LOSE RPM AND THEN GO BACK UP AGAIN. TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STRANDED AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING. GOT HOME, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED, AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. BUT...MY CAR FOR SOME REASON ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE A 6 SPEED MANUAL. IT USES THE SAME THROTTLE BODY AS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CARS. WHAT GIVES?? *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE JUST CUT OUT. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL. THE ENGINE WAS SURGING AROUND 10000 RPM, AND RUNNING VERY ROUGH. THEN THE VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP HOME MODE. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT IT DOWN PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART, BUT AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY. *TR

THE CAR WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE, AND LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. THE 'CHECK ENGINE' INDICATOR LIT UP. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT W/O INCIDENT, AFTER WHICH IT RAN NORMALLY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT AN ONLINE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FORTUNATE THAT NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

WENT TO PULL ONTO INTERSTATE AND WHEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SPEED UP. ALSO THE ENGINE RPM'S WOULD ACCELERATE AND CAUSE HARD SHIFTS WHICH HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO START WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL GETS LOW ENOUGH TO TURN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON EITHER. ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST MONTH. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR, COASTED TO EDGE OF HIGHWAY, HAD POWER TO ENGINE/CAR THOUGH . SECOND TIME HAPPEN I WAS STOPPED DROPPING OFF WIFE AND WHEN I STARTED TO GO, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND SPUTTER AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. HAD TO COAST TO EMPTY AREA. BOTH TIMES, I SHUT OF ENGINE WAITED 30 SECONDS/MINUTE AND RESTARTED AND CONTINUED ON WITHOUT PROBLEM. *TR
