2011 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

"WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR LOST ALL POWER OVER 60 MPH. RESTARTED VEHICLE UNDERWAY AND STILL HAD NO POWER. HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A VERY DANGEROUS HIGHWAY ON AN EXTREMELY FOGGY MORNING. RESTARTED AND CAR IDLED EXTREMELY ROUGH AND AGAIN HAD NO ACCELERATION. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND CONTINUED ON AS NORMAL. EXACT SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED LATER THAT DAY ON THE WAY HOME. VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING, WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON AS NORMAL. HAVE NOT DROVE THE CAR SINCE THE INCIDENT. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 DAYS. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE JUST QUITS, OR WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT , IT JUST STALLS. THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. IT RESTARTS, BUT THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT 30-40 MPH. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAPPENED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT HOME, BUT IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES ON THE 8 MINUTE DRIVE HOME. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD. I REACHED OUT TO FORD MOTOR CORP BY EMAIL AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ME WAS BASICALLY, "HATE THAT FOR YOU, WE'RE NOT ISSUING A RECALL." FORD IS PERFECTLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT CORPORATE GREED FAR OUTWEIGHS CONSUMER SAFETY AND THEY WON'T OWN UP TO...

MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE AT A RED LIGHT WHEN TRYING TO GIVE IT GAS. RESTARTED AFTER A FEW TRIES. HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND BOTH WERE FINE. IT CONTINUED TO GIVE ISSUES AND FINALLY WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE GOING BETWEEN 1-10 MPH. TOOK IT TO FORD TO HAVE A TEST RAN ON IT, AND THEY SHOWED IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED. WE PURCHASED THE PART AND PAID FOR A REPAIR FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH 725,000 OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME MAKE HAVE BEEN HAVING THESE ISSUES. IT IS QUITE FRUSTRATING. *TR

WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND STALLED. *TR

THIS ISSUE IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN!! I HAVE SEEN MANY STATEMENTS ONLINE ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL!! I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TWICE WITHIN A 2 WEEK PERIOD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME MY CAR BROKE DOWN IT WAS THE SAME THING. I WAS GOING ALONG FINE AND THEN THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN DIES, CHUGS, I DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I DON'T GET HIT AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE WRENCH TOOL! HOW SCARY AND UNSAFE! I AM JUST SO GLAD I WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION OR HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE MY FORD FUSION DECIDED TO DIE OUT OF NO WHERE! I HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH TWO TOWS, DAYS OF WAITING FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED AND MY WARRANTY DECIDING THEY AREN'T GOING TO COVER MY...

TRAVELING AT A STEADY SPEED AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. NOT COMPLETELY BUT HAD NO ACCELERATION CONTROL. HAVE READ ON-LINE THAT THIS IS CALLED "LIMP" MODE. WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER WHICH THE VEHICLE OPERATED OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT NO CHARGE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY, I COULD SEE THIS BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR A DRIVER ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR PULLING IN TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ALL TIMES, THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO SURGE AND BUCK THEN LOOSE POWER. IT NEVER COMPLETELY DIED BUT WHEN I PULLED OVER IT RAN TERRIBLE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TURNED IT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT. IT WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE, GOOD, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD REOCCUR. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD THE CODE CHECKED. THE RESULT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY OR SORT IN THE THROTTLE BODY MODULE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES VARYING FROM ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55+ 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 . HAD TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES AND WAS ALMOST RAN INTO BY CARS GOING A LOT FASTER THAN ME WHILE I WAS MOVINGTO 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. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT APROX. 45 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE CAR. CAR DID NOT SHUT OFF. YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON DASH. DRIFTED UNTIL ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. SHUT OFF CAR AND UNABLE TO START. TRIED 2ND TIME AND CAR RESTARTED. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ENDED UP WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. CALLED FORD GARAGE AND EXPECTING TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE SHORTLY. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A KNOWN AND ON GOING PROBLEM. FORD DOES HAVE A SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE OUT FOR THE KNOWN PROBLEM. IT IS AS BAD AS THE TOYOTA RUN AWAY CARS. RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD FUSION THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IT CUT OFF SPEED AND THROTTLE CONTROL ABRUPTLY. NO ACCIDENT BUT THIS ISSUE LEFT THE POSSIBILITY FOR ONE TO HAPPEN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND STARTING IT SEVERAL TIMES. LEFT THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. MADE IT TO AN AUTOZONE AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THROWING A CEL OF P2111. FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST ABOUT 500 DOLLARS. THE SERVICE TECH WAS VERY WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THAT PERSISTS IN MY MODEL CAR. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD REPORT THAT I AM FILING IN REGARD TO MY 2011 FORD FUSION. THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WHETHER GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TRAFFIC LESS THAN 30MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER TO THE THROTTLE. THE WRENCH AND EMISSIONS LIGHTS BOTH GO ON, THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, WHICH I OFTEN NEED TO DO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET TO A BREAKDOWN LANE OR OTHER SAFE STOPPING POINT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO CROSS 4 LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WITH TURNING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO UNSAFELY PASS ME ON THE RIGHT....

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...

THE CAR CONTINUOUSLY GOES LIMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ALSO WHILE IN TRAFFIC. IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAS OCCURRED OVER 50 TIMES. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT WILL DIE ON ME A DOZEN TIMES IN A 10 MILE DRIVE. THE WRENCH AND EMISSIONS WARNING LIGHTS GO ON AND I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BUT DO NOT LOSE ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OFF. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY FIXES IT, BUT ALSO CLEARS THE WARNING LIGHTS SO MY MECHANIC CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IT IS SO DANGEROUS AND JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL I GET IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND NO REMEDY OTHER THAN RESTARTING, WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. *JS

WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD, SPEED LIMIT WAS 35MPH, I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT THEN IT TURNED GREEN SO I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS AND THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND AND DID NOT WANT TO GO AND STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL, SO I PULLED OVER PARKED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN SINCE THEN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, I AM GOING TO REPLACED IT AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL DO THE TRICK. I HEARD THAT THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH OTHER FORD CARS AND IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR A RECALL, I HOPE THIS LETTER HELPS...

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, MY CAR BEGAN TO SEVERELY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH. IT POSED A DANGER RISK FOR MYSELF AND MY KIDS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TIME, BECAUSE IT SEEMED THAT MY CAR WAS ABOUT TO CRASH INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND I WAS HER PASSENGER ON MILLER PARK HIGHWAY ON THE 18TH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD ON US, IT STARTS SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CHOKE OUT, MY WIFE THEN TRIED TO GET ON THE SHOULD WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE CARS ACCELERATOR WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE FROM THE CAR. TRAFFIC WAS FLYING BY US AS THE CARS ENGINE BRAKE CONTINUED TO SLOW US WAY WAY DOWN. WE WERE ABLE TO USE THE BRAKES. MY WIFE FINALLY GOT OVER TO THE SIDE, TURNED ON HER HAZARDS AND TURN OFF THE CAR. WE BOTH SAT ON THE SIDE OFF ROADWAY AND I HAD TO CALM DOWN MY WIFE DUE TO THE FACT HAT SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES WE TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE "WRENTCH"...

WAS GOING JUST GOING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED SURGING AND RUNNING ROUGH AND BASICALLY JUST STOPPED. I TURNED IT OFF AND LET IT SIT A BIT AND THEN IT RESTARTED AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF AND DROVE FINE. ONE MONTH LATER THIS HAPPEND AGAIN IN TOWN AND APPROXIMATELY AT THE SAME SPEED. I FIGURED I WOULD HAVE THEM CHECK IT AS THE OWNERS MANUAL STATED TO DO IF IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE WHEN I GOT MY OIL CHANGED. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT AND 2 MONTHS AFTER THE 1ST, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS AS IF I WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER, THE ACCELERATOR DIDNT DO ANYTHING AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AGAIN I TURNED THE CAR OFF...

I WAS DRIVING HOME GOING 45 MPH WHEN MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS, IT STARTED JUMPING AND JERKING THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE INCH BY INCH TO MOVE MY CAR TO THE ADJACENT TURNING LANE, TURN ON MY FLASHERS AND CALL MY HUSBAND ON MY CELL PHONE. HE WAS ON HIS WAY HOME ALSO AND PULLED UP BEHIND ME. HE TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS TOO BUT IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. HE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN CRANKED THE CAR. THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR HAD POWER - JUST LIKE TURNING IT OFF HAD RESET SOMETHING. WE WERE ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES FROM OUR HOUSE, SO HE DROVE BY 2011 FORD FUSION HOME AND I FOLLOWED IN HIS TRUCK. I THEN CALLED MY DEALER, JIM TIDWELL FORD ON BARRETT PARKWAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD...

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE ON THE SOUTHBOUND I-5 FREEWAY MY 2011 FORD FUSION BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS DRIVING THROUGH MUD AND LOST ACCELERATION. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO COMPENSATE BY ACCELERATING THE CAR, IT RESISTED AND CONTINUED TO SLOW SIGNIFICANTLY. THANKFULLY TRAFFIC WAS NOT EXTREMELY HEAVY AT THE TIME AND I WAS CLOSE TO A FREEWAY EXIT. I PULLED TO THE RIGHT, AVOIDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BARELY) AND COASTED DOWN THE OFF RAMP. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE OFF RAMP (ABOUT 10 SECONDS) THE CAR HAD GONE FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 5 MPH. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT AND WOULD HAVE BEEN AT A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC (AND SEMI TRUCKS) GOING BETWEEN 60 AND 75 MPH. THE ENGINE WAS THROBBING, THE CAR WAS...

CAR STALLED WHILE ON HIGHWAY. BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC, SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. WITH NO POWER/ ACCELERATION, DRIVER TURNED ON HAZARDS AND MANEUVERED TO LEFT SHOULDER. CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. PROBLEM RECURRED. CAR WAS TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER. THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED.

I WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE LEFT HAND SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES STARTED THE CAR UP AND WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY CODES P2111 P2112. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE RUNNING WELL NOW. THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. MY 9 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE BACKSEAT. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY ADVANCE WARNINGS FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO IT REFUSING TO ACCELERATE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN THOROUGHFARE GOING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 2 MPH. THE CAR BEGAN SPUTTERING AND SHAKING SO I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 2 MPH. A FAMILY MEMBER HAPPENED TO BE BEHIND ME AND HAD TO HELP ME GET OFF ROAD WITH TRAFFIC PASSING BY US. HE THOUGHT PERHAPS I HAD WATER IN THE GAS SO WE BOUGHT AN ADDITIVE TO SEE IF IT HELPED, AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF, BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES. THIS TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I WENT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY TESTED IT AND GOT AN ERROR CODE OF P2111....

VEHICLE WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED AT ABOUT 40-50 MPH AND UPON DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL COMBINED WITH SHIFTING OF GEARS (AUTOMATIC), ENGINE STALLED. OCCURRED TWICE WITH 5 MILES ON BUSY HIGHWAY. ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON EACH TIME. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN ENGINE ON SHOULDER, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK AND RAN FINE FOR A WHILE. WAS FORTUNATE WITH NO TRAFFIC INCIDENT/ACCIDENT EITHER TIME. OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY PART IT AT MY COST AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. UPDATED 10/31/13*CN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $390. UPDATED 11/12/13

DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE MOTOR SIMPLY CUT OFF. WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND COME TO A STOP SAFELY. TURNED IGNITION OFF. THEN TURNED THE IGNITION ON AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY CRANKED BACK UP. DROVE TO NEAREST GAS STATION THINKING MAYBE BEING LOW ON GAS WITH ABOUT 40 MILES TO EMPTY WAS THE ISSUE. FILLED UP WITH GAS AND PROCEEDED HOME. THE NEXT DAY, AS WE WERE BEGINNING TO TAKE A TRIP, AFTER TURNING ONTO THE ON RAMP AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED BEFORE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY THE CARS CLOSELY BEHIND ME THAT WERE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL OR BY THE FLOWING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY ITSELF AS I ENTERED THE BUSY HIGHWAY, THUS ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY WHOLE...

STARTED THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN DRIVING, THE THROTTLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. HAD TO RESTART CAR IN INTERSECTION. THE THROTTLE RETURNED MOMENTARILY. SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE AT < 5MPH (AS ALL IT WOULD ALLOW) TO AUTOZONE. RECEIVED P2112 CODE: THROTTLE CONTROL STUCK SHUT. HAD TO TOW HOME. RELEVANT TO THIS ARTICLE AND INVESTIGATION: HTTP://WWW.USATODAY.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/2013/02/25/PROBE-FORD-CARS-SUVS-STALLING/1945799/ HAVE SINCE PAID FOR FORD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. AM AWAITING RECALL FOR REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

I HAVE BEEN SENSING A SURGE IN ENGINE POWER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IN MY 2011 FUSION. I SUSPECTED A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM AND GOOGLED FOR INFORMATION. I FOUND ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS FOR THIS CAR AS WELL AS INFORMATION IN OTHER FORUMS. IT WAS A GOOD THING AS I WAS PREPARED FOR WHAT HAPPENED TODAY. I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE WHEN THE DREADED (AND EXPECTED) LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY SO MANY COMPLAINTS LOGGED FOR THIS ISSUE: LOSS OF POWER, ROUGH IDLE, JUST ENOUGH POWER TO BARELY MOVE THE CAR, CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO LIMP ANYWHERE, MUCH LESS HOME, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS IN "LIMP HOME" MODE. I HAD MY CODE SCANNER WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE P2111 (THROTTLE STUCK OPEN) CODE BEFORE I RESTARTED...

I LEFT FROM MY HOME IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN USED SINCE THE PREVIOUS EVENING. ABOUT 2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE I GOT ONTO A STATE ROUTE AND STARTED TO GO UP A SLIGHT HILL. I HAD ACCELERATED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING REALLY ROUGH, THEN STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP. IT SEEMED TO GO DOWN TO IDLE WITH NO RESPONSE FROM ENGINE WHILE PUSHING THE PEDAL. I GLIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRESTED THE HILL, THEN LET THE ENGINE SPUTTER AT AROUND IDLE AS I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND LET GRAVITY TAKE ME TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL WHERE I COULD GLIDE AROUND THE CORNER INTO A SAFE PARKING LOT. I SHUT THE CAR DOWN, WAITED A MINUTE AND IT STARTED BACK UP AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. THE CHECK...

DROVE A MILE FROM OUR HOME TO PICK UP PIZZA. WENT INTO THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND STARTED THE CAR. BACKED OUT OF THE SPACE AND PULLED ACROSS A DIVIDED ROAD TO HEAD HOME AND THE CAR SPUTTERED AND LOST POWER SO THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT. I SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CLEAR. IT REPEATED THIS ISSUE AGAIN ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MY WIFE THOUGH RECOVERED. THEN AGAIN FOR ME WHILE ACCELERATING UP A STATE ROUTE BUT DID NOT RECOVER. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE BUCKED AND SEEMED TO STALL, THEN RECOVERED. THE PREVIOUS WEEK IT HAD STALLED COMPLETELY. SHORTLY AFTER IT STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN AND DID NOT RECOVER. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND OCCURRENCE: I WAS DRIVING AT A LEVEL SPEED OF ABOUT 45 WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC (IN-CITY ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 45). WHEN I HEARD MY CAR SEEM TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR, AND START STALLING AND SLOWING DOWN AND THE WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH WAS LIT UP. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF A FOUR-LANE STREET. I GOT TO QUICKEST UPCOMING SHOULDER, AND TURNED MY VEHICLE FULLY OFF AND BACK ON. THIS STOPPED MY CAR FROM STALLING AND SHAKING. BUT I AM STARTING TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN MY CAR WILL STALL OUT AND I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY TRAVELING. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

MY 11 FUSION DIED IN GEAR (LEMP MODE THEY CALL IT) IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT AND STOPPED TRAFFIC FOR A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME DUE TO IT BEING IN GEAR AND UNABLE TO MOVE. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A DEALER AND BEING TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY; I LEFT THE DEALER PAYING FOR THE TOW, DIAGNOSTIC AND A BATTERY. I WENT BACK A WEEK LATER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION. AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ON RAMP TO GO HOME. AS I WAS ACCELERATING UP THE ON RAMP TO HIGHWAY SPEED IT WENT INTO LEMP MODE AGAIN LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD THE SEMI AND OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE PAYING ATTENTION AND AVOIDED REAR ENDING ME AT HIGH SPEED. I WAS AGAIN TOWED AROUND...

I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A WELL TRAVELED, BUSY CITY HIGHWAY AND MY CAR TRANSMISSION DIED. THROUGH CAREFUL MANEUVERING I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY CAR OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO POWER MY CAR COMPLETELY DOWN, TURN THE KEY AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STARTED. I CAUTIOUSLY, OR SHOULD I SAY FEARFULLY, PROCEEDED UNTIL I WAS TO MY DESTINATION AND ANOTHER INCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR. I SPOKE TO A FORD CERTIFIED MECHANIC AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM TAKE A LOOK AT MY CAR. COME TO FIND OUT THE THROTTLE BOX WAS IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAD LOW MILES ON IT I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT BECAUSE MECHANICAL FAILURE DOES OCCUR, HOWEVER, I WAS TAKEN BACK BY THE FACT THAT THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED FOR THE NEXT 4 TO...

CAR LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO SHAKE AND STUTTER. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. TURNING OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTING IT WILL PUT THINGS BACK TO NORMAL...UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST TWO EPISODES NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. PULLING ONTO A MAJOR STREET FROM A SIDE STREET. FORTUNATLY, THE ON-COMING TRAFFIC WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. SCARY SITUATION, BUT AGAIN AVOIDED A NEAR MISS. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON 8/10/2013. DIAGNOSIS-THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THEIR ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. INTERESTING...THEY MUST BE FAILING AT A VERY HIGH RATE. I WAS TOLD NOT TO EXPECT THE PART UNTIL OCTOBER 26TH. 3 MONTHS! SO THE CAR SITS PARKED, WAITING FOR A NEW THROTTLE BODY. IT IS MUCH TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. 2011 FORD FUSION (STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS) WILL...

I OWN A 2011 FORD FUSION. ON 8/16/2013, ON CITY STREETS, TRAVELING LESS THAN 20 MPH, THE CAR ENGINE CUT OFF, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO STEER, BUT ALL OF MY DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS A/C AND RADIO. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, SHE BEGAN TO SHUDDER/BALK LIKE I WAS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. ON 9/2/2013, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT TWO SEPARATE TIMES, EXCEPT DURING THE FIRST I WAS DRIVING ON A TOLL ROAD AT 55 MPH. THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS AGAIN TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON AN ACCESS RAMP THAT LEADS ONTO THE INTERSTATE. IN ALL 3 INCIDENTS, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I DID HAVE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE. I THEN SHUT...

CAR APPEARED TO HAVE LOST FUEL POWER WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 40 MILES PER HOUR. CAR JERKED AND SPEED REDUCED TO APPROX. 5 MILES AN HOUR. APPEARED TO NOT BE RECEIVING ANY FUEL EVEN WHEN THE PEDAL WAS BEING PUSHED. PULLED OVER, TURNED MOTOR OFF THEN RESTARTED. DROVE OKAY FOR ABOUT 5 MORE MINUTES THAN DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THAT HAD THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BEING WORKED ON. THE TIME WAS 5 AM AND IT WAS EXTREMELY FOGGY. VISIBILITY WAS POOR AND THE SCENARIO COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. REPEATED THE PROCESS AGAIN OF TURNING THE MOTOR OFF AND BACK ON, MAKING IT TO MY PLACE OF WORK THIS TIME WITHIN 5 MINUTES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AFTER WORK (APPROX 8 MILES AWAY) WITHOUT INCIDENT...

I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, MY CAR LOST POWER (ENGINE) WHILE TURNING ON A BUSY ROAD! I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO GET MY CHILDREN AND TO A SAFE LOCATION. I FINALLY PARKED THE CAR AND WE WALKED HOME. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE AS WE WERE ALMOST HIT TURNING (WHEN IT FIRST WENT OUT). THE CAR WAS TOWED AND I AM BEING TOLD MY FORD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND MY PCM NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CAR FEELING LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS ?NORMAL? FOR A FORD. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALMOST COST MY CHILDREN AND I OUR LIVES?IT?S NOT COVERED. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS AND CALL FORD COMPANY. WELL,...

I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 ON MY WAY HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS WITH THE FAMILY. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 70-75 MPH , IN THE FAST LANE, WHEN THE CAR JERKED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS LOSING SPEED FAST. MY HUSBAND KEPT ME CALM AND HELPED ME GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN WE WERE SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT RUNNING ROUGH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAD MY FATHER COME AND PICK MY SON AND I UP AND MY HUSBAND WAITED WITH THE CAR. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HARROLD FORD. THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 10 DAYS. THANK GOODNESS MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND A RENTAL CAR WAS INCLUDED. THIS IS THE...

CAR EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. LOST 99% OF POWER AND MISSED HEAVILY. NEARLY REAR-ENDED. PULLED OVER, TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. RAN FINE. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AND 25 MINUTES BEFORE PARKING THE CAR; PROBLEM DID NOT RECUR. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND 30 MINUTES TO DEALERSHIP; PROBLEM DID NOT RECUR. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM THE SAME AS MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE - THE THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR IS STICKING. $400 REPAIR. INFORMATION ONLINE INDICATES THAT THIS IS A NEW THROTTLE DESIGN BY FORD, SO IN ESSENCE, FORD IS EXPERIMENTING ON MY DIME. NOT ACCEPTABLE. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST SHUT RIGHT DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IT DID START UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. AND ON THE 31ST I SAT ALL DAY IN A PARKING SPOT AND I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE PARKING AREA IT KEPT SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. THIS IS MAKING ME VERY CONCERNED THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT I WANT THIS TO BE CHECKED AND COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY PLEASE AND THANK YOU.*JB

I WAS DRIVING DOING 60-65 MPH IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I JUST LOST POWER. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THE ENGINE AND RADIO WERE STILL RUNNING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH THAT LOOKED LIKE A WRENCH. I COASTED OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE OR SO AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE FREEWAY AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN (STILL IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE), THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND, SON AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO UTAH FROM IDAHO. IT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF BECAUSE IT RESET ITSELF. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND I...

I WAS MERGING FROM ONE INTERSTATE TO ANOTHER AND HAD ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY STARTED DECELERATING AND SHAKING. THANK GOODNESS I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT A SHORT WAYS. IT DID IT 2 OTHER TIMES WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WHEN IT DID IT THE 3RD TIME I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD TO GET TOWED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY AND HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE RIGHT LANE TO PULL OVER AT EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED! *JB

DRIVING THE 2011 FORD FUSION ON THE OPEN ROAD, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTARTED. THE ENGINE STARTED AND I ENTERED THE ROAD AGAIN. ABOUT 3 MILES LATER THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN, SUDDENLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER INTO A PARTIAL MEDIAN, IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A WRENCH. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE CODE WAS P2111 - THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I SEE FROM RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS A MASSIVE ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS, AND YET FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IS VERY DANGEROUS AND PLACED ME AND MY PASSENGERS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $500! FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE FOR FREE JUST TO KNOW...

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SLOW DOWN AND SHAKE. THE WRENCH LIGHT COME ON.
