2010 FORD FUSION Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Electronic Throttle Body Car lost power on busy, construction road Manufacturer issued secret warranty to owners and did not send out notice Multiple certified mechanics have inspected the vehicle Check engine, ABS, service advance trac, and power train lights were on and i am uncertain when they first came on

Electronic throttle body failure My car lost power going 50 mph in road construction The car had a recall and extended warranty on it from 2014-2024, i was not notified Check engine light, drive shaft light, and service advance trac appeared a few weeks before the failure

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) malfunctioned causing the brakes to give out while I was driving the vehicle. Luckily I was on a residential street and I was able to safely pull over, but it could have caused a major accident had it not happened in that location. After taking it to two auto-shops, both concluded that it was a problem with the ABS system. There is an open recall for the 2010 Ford Fusion for the same exact issue (Recall number: 19S54), however it does not cover the Hybrid model, even though it is the same exact issue. In order to stop the vehicle, I need to press down on the brake pedal very very hard and use the emergency brake. It is not safe to drive, and it is a substantial and costly problem with the vehicle to repair. I would like my car to be part of...

While driving, the throttle body valve malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to rapidly lose power and go into an engine "safe mode." The check engine light appeared on the dash. I was luckily able to pull over to the side of the road. Restarting the vehicle cleared the error, but the issue continued to recur until I was able to get home. Luckily the sudden loss of power did not cause an incident, but as it occurred on the highway, a sudden drop in speed could have posed a safety risk, especially if it had occurred in inclement weather. There was a recall for the specific part that failed, but due to my model being a hybrid, it was not included even though it contained the exact faulty component. Speaking with Ford Customer Care confirmed this to be the case that my specific car was not included in the recall. I...

While driving my 2010 Ford Fusion, on five separate occasions (two times less than a week apart) and over the last five months, while stopping for traffic lights, traffic or pedestrians the brake pedal travelled just inches from the floor and extra effort was needed in attempt to activate the brakes hoping to come to a complete stop. On two jarring instances collision was avoided only by swerving the vehicle to keep from hitting a wayward pedestrian and the other instance was with another vehicle backing out in a mall shopping center. On all five occasions there was an associated amber ABS light on the dash, a sudden drop in brake pressure and severely degraded to no braking power during application. The brake fluid reservoir is appropriately filled with the manufacturer specified DOT 3 brake fluid and there are no leaks in the system whatsoever. I’ve been told at the...

ENGINE LIGHT, ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT, ALARM LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. THEN DASH WENT COMPLETELY BLANK. HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT,LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED. DASH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON STIRRING CONTROL OF VEHICLE LOST. ALL DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. BREAKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING.

ON DECEMBER 1ST I WAS DRIVING MY FORD FUSION 2 THE ACTUAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET A LOOK AT THEIR FIELD SERVICE ACTION THAT THEY HAD POSTED ON MY FORD APP. WHILE ON MY WAY I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON COLUMBIA DRIVE IN PORTLAND OREGON AND I HAD THOUGHT MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE INITIALLY BUT ACTUALLY WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR HAD ACCELERATED AND TO THE GENTLEMAN IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT I TRIED TO CONTACT FORD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NORMALLY GO TO TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE FRONT-END OF MY FORD FUSION THAT WAS DEMOLISHED AND ALSO NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF AS I HAD JUST GOT MY CAR OUT OF THE SHOP AT FORD FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS MY FIANCE WAS WITH ME SO THERE WAS DEFINITELY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER, SPUTTERED, AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWN AND COUNTRY FORD LOCATED AT 7800 E. LLOYD EXPY, EVANSVILLE, IN 47715, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I HAVE A FORD FUSION 2010 WE PURCHASED LAST YEAR AND APPARENTLY IT HAD THROTTLE ISSUES THAT WE COVERED A FEW YEARS AGO OUR CAR IS STARTING TO ACT UP WITH THIS TO WHERE LAST WEEK I COULD HAVE DIED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN PA CAUSE I LOST ENGINE POWER AND YOUR COMPANY IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY I WILL SUE FORD BECAUSE YOUR COMPANY IS REFUSING TO HELP FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT'S PAST THE 10 YEARS OR 150,000 IT SHOULD NOT MATTER. I KNOW IT'S THE THROTTLE CAUSE BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH WILL COME ON AND IT SHAKES BAD PLEASE I WANT THIS FIXED BY FORD AT NO CHARGE

UPON 9 YEARS OF AGE MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID (ANY MANY OTHERS) NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AS A HYBRID VEHICLE AND WILL ONLY USE THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE EV MOTOR IS SUPPOSED TO KICK IN FROM A STOP UPON ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHILE IT TRIES TO USE THE EV MOTOR BUT CANNOT DUE TO THIS LIMITATION. WHILE AT ROUNDABOUTS OR WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS.

I HAD ALREADY GOTTEN MY THROTTLE BODY REPAIRED THE YEAR BEFORE MY CAR STARTED JOLTING AS IF IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THIS TIME THOUGH THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP WHEN I TRIED ACCELERATE FROM STOP, RPMS WOULD GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 5 BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS FLICKERED. TOOK IT TO FORD AND NOTHING WAS FOUND SO I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT SAME DAY THE CAR STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORD THEY OFFERED TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND RETURNED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. NOT EVEN 24HRS AFTER STARTED THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK CAR TO AUTO ZONE THEY IMMEDIATELY FOUND AN ERROR FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO FORD WHERE THEY HAD ME LEAVE IT FOR TWO DAYS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TECH TO LOOK AT...

INTERMITTENTLY MY BRAKES WILL GO OUT, MOST OFTEN THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF AND I TURN IT OFF AND TRY TO REVERSE THOUGH IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENS ON ACCESS ROADS, THE HIGHWAY, MY DRIVEWAY AND MOST OFTEN IN PARKING LOTS. MY CAR WILL ROLL AND BE COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND I CAN PRESS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, ETC ON THE DASHBOARD ALL LIGHT UP AND MY CAR KEEPS ROLLING. I TRY TURNING MY VEHICLE ON AND OFF AS SOMETIMES EVEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK WILL NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND COME TO FIND OUT A...

MIDDLE OF FREEWAY DRIVING, CAR DEACCELLERATED AND WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. SAFELY STOPPED AND ERROR CLEARED ON RESTART. DEALER REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, TECHNICIAN INDICATED THE TEST GRAPH HAD A SPIKE UPON TESTING. LIKELY UNIT OF FAILURE.

RAPID DECELERATION: WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY RAPID DECELERATION OCCURRED. CAR SLOWED TO ABOUT 25MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED. EXITED FREEWAY.. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. CAR OPERATED NORMAL. NO ERROR ICONS SHOWED. ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM HOME PROBLEM REOCCURRED CRAWLED HOME AT 10MPH. NEXT SEVERAL DAYS PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR. ABOUT A WEEK LATER SAME PROBLEM REOCCURRED WHILE DRIVING HOME ..10MPH. SPOKE TO FORD SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER REPAIRS AND THEY DECLINED. TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. $600. VERY SCARY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THIS OCCURS ON THE FREEWAY.

ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION WITH MY AUTO. FIRST WHILE SLOWLY ACCELERATING FROM A PARKING SPOT IN A CROWDED DEPARTMENT STORE PARKING LOT. SECOND WHILE SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU LINE. BARELY MISSING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AND THIRD WHILE SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AGAIN MOVING SLOW EXITING A PARKING LOT. ALL THREE TIMES I'VE HAD TO ALMOST STAND ON THE BRAKE TO STOP AND SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND KILL THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH APPRX 130,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE REVERSING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED VERY HIGH BEFORE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOURS LATER. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO REV VERY HIGH AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SHIFTED INTO PARK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND A CAR IN BACK OF ME. CAR VIOLENTLY SHOOK AND SPED FORWARD AT A FAST SPEED. CAR VEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WENT UP OVER THE CURB. CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME. CONSUMER PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. ENGINE WAS...

WHILE DRIVING FUSION SERVICE DOWN HIGHWAY SUNDAY(12-16-18) SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON & COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS & HAD TO GET HOME TO PARK CAR BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING DUE TO STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD TO STEER, CAR SHAKING, AND COULDN'T HARDLY KEEP IN LANE. THE SERVICE ADVANCE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON & BOTH REMAIN ON & LITTLE TO NO CONTROL LEFT TO STEER THE CAR SO CAR REMAINS PARKED. FORD KNOWS THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS PART AND EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIRS AND PART IS A NECESSITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE CAR. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE COST OF FORD MOTOR NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO SEEK A SAFE CAR TO TRANSPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED THE END OF JULY 2018 FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. SHE INFORMED ME TODAY THAT FROM TIME TO TIME IT AS IF THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING IT OR WHEN SHE TRIES TO ACCELERATE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SEE THE LINK ATTACHED: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FUSION/2010/ENGINE/SUDDEN_DECELERATION_LOSS_OF_POWER.SHTML THIS WAS JUST FROM ONE WEBSITE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION, WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO CAR ACCIDENTS. SHE IS LIVING IN ATLANTA AND I AM IN ORLANDO SO SHE JUST MENTIONED IT TODAY WHEN I TALKED TO HER BUT SHE SAID...

UPDATED 12/11/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL WHERE I WAS GOING AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT IS NOT AN ALL THE TIME PROBLEM, BUT DOES HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT HAPPENS AND THE CAR ACCELERATES BRIEFLY BEFORE INSTANTLY SHUTTING OFF. THE WRENCH SYMBOL ALSO COMES ON BEFORE THIS ALL TAKES PLACE. I COULD BE USING CRUISE CONTROL OR JUST NORMAL DRIVING AND IT HAPPENS IN BOTH SITUATIONS. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO DO IT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE SUCH AS A HIGH WAY OR ON A REGULAR CITY STREET. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT NUMEROUS (SIX) TIMES TO SEE WHY IT DOES THIS. THE MECHANIC HOOKS IT UP TO THE COMPUTER EVERY TIME AND STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER CLONINGER FORD (1241 US HWY 70 SE, HICKORY, NC 28602), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

APRIL 30, 2018 AFTER DRIVING FOR 3 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPR. 75 TO 80 MPH THE DASH LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE, FLICKERING AND THEN THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING CAME D. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY EXIT AND DRIVE SLOWLY. I COULD STOP AND GO VERY SLOW. AFTER A MILE OR 2 THE BATTER LIGHT AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOOSING POWER SO I PULLED OVER. AT THIS TIME IT WAS ALSO CHIMING THAT THE CROSS FAULT SYSTEM WAS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD NOT START, THE RADIO WOULD PLAY, LIGHTS WOULD WORK AND HAZARDS WOULD WORK .THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND I AM AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS. EARLIER ON APRIL 16, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THEY...

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE APPROPRIATELY AND THEN WOULD NOT BE IN GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED SENSORS ETC. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT A RECALL HAD IN FACT BEEN INSTITUTED FOR 2011 AND NEWER MODELS. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN VEHICLES FROM 2010 AS WELL. THERE IS NO REASON OWNERS OF 2010 MODELS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE FAILURE WHEN NEW MODEL OWNERS DO NOT. THE PART ITSELF (FOR AFTERMARKET) COSTS $1000.

THE WRENCH LIGHT COME ON AND I LOST ACCELERATION. VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT DECELERATED ON ITS OWN AND THERE WAS NO GAS PEDAL....THROWING A THROTTLE ACTUATOR CCONTROL SYSTEM CODE SAYING WAS STUCK OPEN...THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES NOW BUT CODE CLEARED BEFORE COULD LOOK AT...TOOK TO LES STUMPF FORD THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TIL THE CODE STASYS ON FOR THERM TO TEST....SO I AM SUPPOSED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR A KNOWN PROOBLEM THAT THE COMPANY WAS SUED ABOUT AND CREATED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION EXTENDED WARRANTY INSTEAD OF RECALLING IT UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN....AND I AM AT ABOUT 142000 AND ONLY COVERS TIL 150000

DRIVING...SPEED ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPPED TO AROUND 2 MPH...WOULD GO NO FASTER....YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON INSTRUMENT PANEL ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT, IF I HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT...BY ALL INDICATIONS ...THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM..READ VARIOUS REPORTS OF OTHER 2010 FORD FUSION OWNERS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM...THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITHOUT DELAY...

ON MAY 25, 2017 I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND ROUNDED A BUILDING PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. FROM THE SPEED BUMP TO THE PARKING SPACE THE SLOW SPEED IS PERFECT FOR PULLING IN THE SPACE. I WAS BRAKING TO A STOP WHEN MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD ONLY STOPPING WHEN IT STRUCK THE BUILDING. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME, AS WITNESSED BY MY PASSENGER. I'M 4'10" TALL AND UNLIKE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I HAVE TO STRETCH TO REACH THE ACCELERATOR - SO THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE TWO. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD EVER EXPERIENCED A LURCHING ACTION IN OUR FUSION. WE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ACTION IN OUR FREESTYLE AND HAVE MANAGED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN THAT VEHICLE, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE FUSION. THE PREVIOUS OWNER...

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL DATE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS JUNE 2016 AND IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARLY A YEAR AND FORD STILL HAS "NO REMEDY" FOR THIS RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL OR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT MY CAR ALSO HAS BUT NOW IS PAST THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" AND THEY WILL NOT FIX FOR FREE, DESPITE ME HAVING MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT IN THE PAST. LAST WEEK, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY. I HAD BEEN LUCKY NO ONE WAS CLOSELY FOLLOWING BEHIND ME AND I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND QUICKLY COULD PULL OVER OR I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND AT A VERY FAST SPEED BECAUSE OF THE ETB FAILING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND IDLED EXTREMELY LOW. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY EXTENDED COVERAGE, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE MANUFACTURER'S SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM: 13N03. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/29/17*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE WRENCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE TENDENCY OF REDUCING ACCELERATION, WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 35 OR ABOVE THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IF YOU ARE IN THE FAST LANE AND YOUR CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHAT CAN YOU DO IF THERE IS LOTS OF TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU, THIS WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO GO AND CARS ARE RIGHT UP ON YOU. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHEN I WAS ON JUST THE STREETS AND NOT THE HIGHWAY, I WAS GOING 45 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOSES SPEED AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, SO I COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED...

THIS INSTANCE VEHICLE GOING STEADY 35MPH AND STARTED REVVING RPM'S UP LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, IT THEN SLAMMED AND JERKED THE CAR AND STARTED THE REVVING AGAIN. STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND TURNED LEFT, WHILE TURNING AND HITTING ACCELERATOR THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE AND STARTED REVVING AGAIN AND THEN SLAMMED AND JERKED ALMOST MAKING THE PERSON BEHIND ME REAR END ME. PREVIOUS INSTANCE WAS A STEADY 75 MPH ON THE FLAT HIGHWAY AND THE SAME REVVING AND SLAM/JERKING HAD HAPPENED. 5TH TIME IT'S DONE IT THIS YEAR ALONE. 13 TIMES SINCE 2011. THIS INSTANCE THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP TO GET LOOKED AT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS ERRATIC AND DOES IT AT ANY TIME IT FEELS LIKE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN. *TR

TAKATA RECALL- MY CAR STALLS AND DOESNT TURN ALL THE WAY. IF I SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE CAR WILL GIVE OUT I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC DONE THREE TIMES AND THREE DIFFERENT THINGS CAME UP AND I GOT ALL THE FIX BUT IT STILL DO THE SAME THING I SEE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THIS DID THIS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, THE ORANGE WRENCH COMES ON ON THE DASH BOARD. THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING WHILE IDLING ROUGHLY. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES IT WILL START AND APPEAR FINE WITH NO SYMPTOMS AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON. HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING RANDOMLY, IT MIGHT BE THE NEXT DAY OR AN HOUR FROM THEN. I CHECKED THE CODE WHILE THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON AND GOT A P2111 CODE (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM). CALLED FORD TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT ISN'T ON RIGHT THIS MOMENT, THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO TRY TEST DRIVING IT LONGER TO GET IT TO ACT UP BEFORE FORD WILL ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE IT. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY SHOOK AND WENT TO "LIMP" MODE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST DRIVEWAY AFTER PUTTING ON MY HAZARDS AND, AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED THE CAR, WHICH TOOK ABOUT ABOUT 5 SECONDS OF TRYING TO TURN OVER THE IGNITION. SINCE THAT TIME, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO DOZEN TIMES, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW; AND THE REST OF THE TIME, THE RPMS FLUTTER IN AN IRREGULAR WAY. I DO MOSTLY CITY DRIVING AND HAVE THANKFULLY BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHEN HAVING TO PULL OVER AND RESTART; BUT IN EACH CASE, IT IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. BY ALL ACCOUNTS ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM AND DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. NOTABLY, THE PROBLEM WITH MY...

ON 6/2/15 WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, CAR STARTED SHAKING, SPEED DROPPED, COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. SHUT CAR OFF. AFTER FEW MINUTES STARTED CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT 25 MPH TO GET IT OFF FWY BUT WAS OPERATING IN LOW POWER MODE. DROVE IT TO DEALER IN LOW POWER MODE. THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND COVERED UNDER FORD RECALL. NOW ON 8/19/16 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON WAY TO WORK. AGAIN HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO DEALER IN LOW POWER MODE. DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE CAR WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEM BY THE TIME THEY GOT AROUND TO IT. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME 1 YEAR AGO SO I FEEL IT IS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH THEY REPLACED...

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON ALONG WITH THROTTLE WRENCH LIGHT...CAR SHAKING LITTLE POWER....PULLED OVER ,RESTART CAR LIGHTS STILL ON , SLOW DRIVE AND SHAKY RIDE HOME..

THE NIGHT WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, USED FROM A FORD DEALER, IT WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE WITHOUT JUMPING/BUCKING. THEY WERE SWIFT TO GIVE US A LOANER WHILE THEY "REPROGRAMEMD" THE CAR. NOW, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. THEY PUT A BANDAID ON IT UNTIL WE COULDN'T RETURN IT. SINCE THEN, JUST OVER 2YRS AGO, WE HAVE HAD THROTTLE REPLACED X3, CLEANED ONCE FOR $250 (WHILE ON THE WAY SOUTH FOR VACA, WE GOT STUCK HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HM UNTIL FORD DEALER OPENED 2 DAYS LATER.) THIS CAR HAS STRANDED US THREE DIFF TIMES WHILE OUT OF STATE ON VACA. NOW WHILE ON INTERSTATE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON, THE CAR STARTS BUCKING AND ACTING LIKE A MANUAL IN THE WRONG GEAR. BUT, HAS NO ACCELERATION. JUST REVS TO 4K-6K RPMS. DANGEROUS ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY SEMIS GOING FULL SPEED BEHIND YOU OR HAVING TO TRY AND CROSS 5...

SUDDEN STALLING OR ACCELERATION. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DEPENDING ON HOW MANY TIMES I START THE CAR. MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DIED I WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. NOW MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND I HAVE NO CONTROL ON THE THROTTLE. WHEN I GIVE IT GAS IT JUST CREEPS ALONG. LIMP HOME MODE. I WAS IN OTION ON A CITY STREET AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH CONTROL TO GET OVER ON A SIDE STREET SAFELY WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR.

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE. HE HAD TO CROSS LANES TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. CAR RAN OKAY. I CALLED FORD AFTER THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS OVER THE MILEAGE ALLOWED AND WAS NOT COVERED. THEY SAID THEY SENT OUT A CSP#13N03. I DID NOT RECEIVE THIS LETTER. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT JUST A BULLETIN. HE ALMOST GOT HIT BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
