2012 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the power steering assist fault message was displayed. The power steering function was inoperable. The check engine warning light was illuminated due to a possible canister purge valve failure. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V340000 (Steering). The local dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 165,461.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving under 35 MPH, the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The vehicle was shaking abnormally while idling as if the vehicle would shut off. The contact had replaced the battery 8 times; however, the failure persisted. While driving approximately 65 MPH and overtaking other vehicles, the check engine warning light began flashing temporarily. The failure had occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle that the oil was leaking from the valve cover gasket, oil pan, and front seal and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was unknown.

2012 Ford Fusion is having issues similar to the Ford Focus recall, 18S32, that pertains to the canister purge valve and powertrain issue. Current fusion has a 2.5L motor in it. Have replaced the canister purge valve 3 times in a 2-year span and is currenting giving codes (as well as engine light being on) of another failure. Do believe it is affecting the powertrain as well, as it is jerks under workload.

Vehicle loses power while driving, with no response when accelerator is depressed further. The engine continues to run but no throttle response. No engine warning light came on. No codes stored. Must stop, turn off engine and perform an engine restart to continue driving again.

My steering assist system goes of at odd times, and the acceleration it does tiny tugs, and my suspension it rattles, over street bumps,, can it be fixed by a dealership, cause it’s my only vehicle 🚗 I have and plus I’m on ssdi income and I can’t afford major repairs, like these, and if so have the car fully inspected just in case I’m missing something, oh and also there’s a popping noise coming from the front of the car..

Transmission issues. Jerks and shudders and loss of power, broken motor mounts, PCM issues, misfire issues and etc. Car threw codes, many expensive trips to Ford dealerships, excessive undriveable down time, unsafe to be on a highway or go up a hill when it shifts (automatic), 6F35 Transmission in my 2012 Ford Fusion

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at high speeds the vehicle shut off, restarted, and shut off again. The contact was able to drive, but the vehicle shut off. The power steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the warranty had expired. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Pulled out of a side street Taylor onto a main highway 39 beach Blvd and car jolted and didn’t have much go. Seemed sluggish. Transmission mount bolt had snapped off and I could have been in a major accident because I had oncoming traffic coming at me when I merged into the street and lost power because of the incident.

Their is a recall for Ford Abs Module yet their needs to be one for 2012 Ford Fusions Se as well I have paid over 3200 dollars for my brakes alone . I have had 2 near misses and was in an unreported incident today from power loss on my breaks . Very unsafe for me and those around

The power steering assist randomly went out and caused me to almost crash into a wall when I was on the freeway taking the car home. The previous owner had gotten into an accident with the vehicle which had also resulted from the power steering randomly going out, and the power steering is now out completely on the vehicle and yet seems to come on randomly while having to manually steer the vehicle. I just got the vehicle and am the most recent owner, but since the vehicle has over 150,000 miles on it and it has been over 10 years, Ford and its dealerships are saying there’s nothing they can do to fix it. However, I know that these issues going on with the car (power steering assist and electronic throttle body issues) are related to the recall on the vehicle. There are apparently no active recalls on the...

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and hesitated upon depression of the accelerator pedal. Both the power train and check engine warning lights would appear on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to both an independent mechanic and a dealer but neither could diagnose to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My car has a very hard time shifting when I go to take off, I have not been in a wreck because of it yet but when it does shift it shifts very hard I’m afraid to even pull onto a busy road I’m worried one day it will just not shift and I’ll cause a crash.

MY CAR JUST DIES WHILE I'M DRIVING. ARE THERE RECALLS I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS? IF SO, HOW DO I GET IT REPAIRED IN THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS MANNER. I ONLY HAVE THE ONE CAR AND IT IS PRETTY UNSAFE AT THIS POINT.

I WAS GETTING GAS AND I CUT MY CAR OFF WHEN I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR IT DID NOT START. I CONTINUED TO START IT. CAR WOULD NOT START. I POPPED THE HOOD AND TOUCHED THE BATTERY SOME AND TRIED STARTING THE CAR THE CAR STARTED THEN ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING IT SUDDENLY CUTS OFF. THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE. CAR SUDDENLY STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF STREET ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS THAT CAN NEARLY KILL SOMEONE!!! VERY UNSAFE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AND STREET. AND ITS SO RANDOM NO SIGNS JUST CUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED.

THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF IT WILL START BACK UP BUT IT'S RANDOM AND CUTS OFF ANYTIME IT WANTS. IT'S DONE THIS WHILE PARKED AND MOVING. THROTTLE BODY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FUSION TO WORK ONE DAY WHEN SUDDENLY I GOT AN ALERT READING "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO USE MY POWER STEERING WHICH MADE TURNING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND PARK IN THE CLOSEST FUEL STATION.

DO NOT TRUST IT

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AS A RESULT OF A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT HAD RUINED MY ENGINE AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHICH IS NOW INOPERABLE. THEY CLAIM IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY BUT HOW CAN MY WARRANTY BE VOID IF IT'S A RECALL DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WAS ACCELERATING IN MY VEHICLE WHEN THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SHOWING ONLY AN ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND ACTUALLY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY AIRBAG RECALL FIXED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOBODY OTHER THAN MY BOYFRIEND WAS BEHIND ME. I TURNED THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE DASH (WRENCH) LIGHT INDICATOR WENT OFF. I COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MYSELF OR ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE BE A SYSTEM FAILURE! I REFUSED TO TAKE MY CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THEY CHECKED INTO IT. THEY ACTED AS IF IT WAS NO BIG DEAL BECAUSE THE (WRENCH) LIGHT ON THE DASH WENT OFF BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND BAD ACCIDENTS CAN BE A RESULT OF THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ERROR CODES LEAD TO LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND ENGINE BEING THROTTLED BACK TO APPROX. 10 MPH IN "LIMP HOME MODE". ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, AND NHTSA HAS STUDIED THE PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY. FORD SAYS MY ETB IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS, AND THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR FORD FUSION, AND FORD SUPPOSEDLY MADE A 10YR 150,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE PART....JUST NOT MY ETB.

DURING SUMMER MONTHS WITH AIR CONDITIONING RUNNING, THE CABIN OF THE CAR FILLS WITH HEAVY EXHAUST FUMES WHETHER THE AIR IS RECIRCULATED OR OUTSIDE AIR. DAILY COMMUTE IS LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AND TRAFFIC IS LIGHT. I KEEP MY WINDOWS CLOSED WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. I HAVEN'T NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN THE WINTER. I AM WORRIED ABOUT BEING EXPOSED TO DANGEROUS CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN THE CAR. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AND SURFACE STREETS.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE, OR THE ENGINE IS UNDER LOAAD, THE TEMPERATURE GAGUE GOES UP, BUT AS SOON AS I COME OUT OF IT, THE TEMPERATURE RETURNS TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD IT TESTED AND IT IS NOT ACTUALLY OVERHEATING. HAVE A NEW WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, SENSOR AND RADIATOR. ALSO, THE CAR SYMBOL ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS ON AND ALL DOORS AND TRUNK ARE CLOSED. HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY'VE DETERMINED IT IS ELECTRICAL AFTER THE "DIAGNOSTIC", BUT ARE STILL TROUBLE SHOOTING AFTER A WEEK TO DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE.

I EXPERIENCING A 'THROTTLE BODY' MALFUNCTION. MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REFERENCE TO THIS ISSUE, BOTH ONLINE AS WELL AS IN PERSON. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. ON THE HIGHWAY THIS CAN / WILL CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MANY OTHER MOTORISTS AS WELL. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ISSUE AND, BY DOING SO, IS PLACING COUNTLESS PEOPLE AT RISK UNNECESSARILY. I AM FED UP WITH DEALERSHIPS COVERING UP FOR DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY.

I WAS ON THE ROAD PACK SADDLE IN JONESTOWN TX 78645, WHEN I PULLED ON TO ROAD 1431. A LARGE TRUCK WITH A CRASH GUARD HIT ME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE @ 60MPH. THE ACCIDENT TURNED MY CAR INTO A HORSE SHOE, AND SENJT ME INTO ON COMING TRAFIC. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS WERE ACTIVATED AND SAVED BOTH ME AND MY WIFE BUT, THE RESIDUE THAT CAME WITH THE ACTIVATION PEPPERD ME IN THE FACE AND RUINED MY GLASSES. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY GLASSES ON,I WOULD HAVE LOST MY VISION DUE TO SUCH. WE WERE ON A COUNTY ROAD.TURNING LEFT AND MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

CAR STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THEN IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. NEXT DAY STARTED, THEN STALLED IMMEDIATELY AND WOULD NOT START. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE ON TRAFFIC CIRCLE, AND SECOND TIME IN GARAGE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP IN THE STREET. ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT IDLE. GAS PEDAL HAD NO RESPONSE. DIDN'T SEE ANY FAULT INDICATORS. SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. PUSHED GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS GAS PEDAL STARTED WORKING. SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND DROVE TO SIDE OF ROAD. DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALER. THEY PULLED FAULT CODE P1285. DEALER REPLACED RADIATOR FAN AND HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR. WORKING OKAY SO FAR. (3 DAYS)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 68 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE POWER ASSIST INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (BOB ALLEN FORD, 9239 METCALF AVE, OVERLAND PARK, KS 66212), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

CITY TRAFFIC, 30MPH. ONLY HAD TRAVELED A FEW MILES. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 90'S AND DEWPOINT IN THE LOW TO MID 60'S. WRENCH TOOL ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. COULD ONLY GO 3-5 MPH. PULLED OFF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED. ICON WAS OFF AND CAR RAN FINE. SERVICE SCAN TOOL DID NOT FIND ANY FAULTS. AFTER THE SCAN, THE DASH MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE: "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH NO OTHER ERROR MESSAGES AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ON FORD VEHICLES. SIMPLY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT ERASE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE OF THE TOTAL LOSS OF POWER.

STARTED MAKING NOISE THE FIRST YEAR WE HAD IT AND KEPT GETTING WORSE AS TIME WENT ON!!!!!

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HAS FAILED TWICE WITHIN 500 MILES. (THE VEHICLE HAS 71500 AS OF THIS WRITING) BOTH TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD AT A STEADY SPEED WITH LITTLE INPUT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. IN BOTH CIRCUMSTANCES THE CAR HAS THUDDED INTO "LIMP MODE" WHERE THE CAR CAN ONLY COAST OF THE ROAD. A RESTART SEEMS TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM.

CAR INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS DOWN/STALLS OUT WITH NO WARNING WHEN ACCELERATING ,AT ALL SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BUT VEHICLE IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!!! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND NO RECALLS OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM FORD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. HARD TO BELIEVE NO ACTION BEING TAKEN AS OF YET WITH ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS. VERY DISAPPOINTED HERE. CAR HAS ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON IT AND IS VERY WELL CARED FOR, MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 58,000. SURE WOULD APPRECIATE FORD STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!

MY 2012 FORD FUSION SEL, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY POINT ON A CITY STREET, MY ENGINE LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO SPUTTER BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WHERE I'D HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP, PUT THE GEAR IN PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

SMALL EVAPORATIVE LEAK ATTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL FILLER NECK AS PART OF THE CAPLESS GAS SYSTEM. THIS YEAR, MAKE, MODEL PRESENTS CONSISTENT ISSUES IN THIS AREA. PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAD RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT THE 2012 FOR SOME REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING TO A STOP, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL SMOKE ODOR EMITTING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,900.

FOR A WHILE KNOW MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED AND THEN SHAKE AT WHICH TIME I WOULD PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AFTER SOME TIME I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR UP AGAIN AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. NO MECHANIC CAN ACTUALLY FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR SO THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO COME BACK IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL FILTER SO I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC TO USE FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN MY CAR. I HAVE DONE THAT AND IT APPEARED TO WORK HOWEVER IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE OFF AND ON FOR A WHILE BUT CAN NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I NOTICED THAT WITH THIS MODEL YEAR EVERYONE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, LUNGED FORWARD, AND JERKED WHILE IN MOTION OR MAKING A TURN. IN ADDITION, THE POWER TRAIN WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES. TWO DEALERS WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE DTC WAS NOT PRESENT; THEREFORE, THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED AND DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SERVICE CAMPAIGN, BUT REFUSED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS THEY COULD DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO ORDER THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003 (ENGINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I JUST HIT 40,000 MILES, VEHICLE HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. ACCELERATION TAKE TOO LONG AND ONCE IT KICKS IN IT SLAMS INTO GEAR. IF I NEED TO REVERSE IT WON'T FIND THE GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES , I SLAMS INTO GEAR, THE WRENCH CONTINUES TO APPEAR ON DASH WHEN SAID EVENT IS HAPPENING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THAT TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE. VERY UNSAFE. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS IT BECOMES A HAZARD TO EVERYONE AROUND ME. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME THIS WOULD BE GREAT. UPON SEARCHING WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN AND WHAT A HAZARD IT CAN BE . TELL ME WHAT TO DO PLEASE.

MY THROTTLE BODY IS GIVING ME ISSUES. IT WILL HESITATE AND REACT AS IF IT WILL STALL ON OCCASION WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL JERK BADLY. NO ENGINE LIGHTS APPEAR ON MY DASH, HOWEVER I WAS NOTIFIED BY FORD THERE IS A REPLACEMENT EXTENDED WARRANTY, YET THAT EXTENSION DOES NOT COVER THE INITIAL CHARGE FROM THE DEALER TO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY OUT, WHICH IS DEAD WRONG OF FORD. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COVER ANY AND ALL CHARGES REGARDING THIS THE THROTTLE BODY. IN ADDITION MY VEHICLES RACK AND PINION OR PWER STEERING SUEELS ALOT WHILE IN DRIVING, IVE CHECK FLUID LEVELS AND THEY ARE NORMAL, YET IT WILL MAKE ALOT OF NOISE.

ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING

TAKATA INFLATOR: ON SEPTEMBER 23RD I WAS DRIVING TO WORK USING LOCAL STET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I HIT THE GAS. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INSIDE THE CAR INCLUDING THE ENGINE LIGHT. IT HAPPEN ONCE AGAIN ON OCT 5, 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON 408. THANK GOD THAT THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE CAR INTO PARK, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. I THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DON'T LET SOMEONE LOOSE THEY LIFE BEFORE THE ISSUE IS FIXED

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET CAR STALLS AND SHAKE THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES WITHIN TWO MONTHS, HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL SHOP NO CODE READING WAS DISCOVER.

DRIVING ON THE 605 FWY WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD GOING ABOUT 65MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND A ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WHEN MY CAR JERKED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT TOOK ME 3 TIMES TO GET IT STARTED ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN ABOUT 2 MILES UP THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET HOME BUT MY MECHANIC HAS ADVISED THAT I HAVE AN ERROR CODE P2111 AND MY THROTTLE BODY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT A HAPPY FORD CUSTOMER. I WILL BE TAKING IN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TOMORROW IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL STAND BEHIND THIER PRODUCT AND REPLACE THIS PART.

OVER THE PAST WEEK MY 2012 FORD FUSION DECELERATED, IDLED ROUGHLY, LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING AND THE WRENCH DUMMY LIGHT CAME ON. ALL 4 TIMES IT OCCURRED BELOW 30 MPH IN CLEAR CONDITIONS. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE AND LUCKILY I WAS IN AREAS WHERE I COULD PULL OVER SAFELY. ONCE PULLED OVER I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND RESUME DRIVING. I HAVE BROUGHT IN MY CAR TWICE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY ERROR MESSAGES ON THE COMPUTER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO DO MORE DIAGNOSTICS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND ITS RELIABILITY.
