After driving over 50 miles, my car stalled and the wrench light came on. I pulled over and let it idle, but it ran rough. Once I turned it off and then back on, it ran okay. It stalled again later in that same trip. Then it stalled again twice on my way home. Luckily, I was on a non busy road with a shoulder. Then it seemed to run fine for a few days, but after driving over 50 miles, it happened again. I was nervous because once it stalled as I was turning onto a road without a shoulder. I was concerned that a car would come over the hill and hit me while I was turning it off and restarting it. When I took it to the dealer, I was told that the problem was with the throttle body. When they ordered the part, initially, I was told the part was on backorder and wouldn't be in until mid-August. Obviously, there is a major problem with this part when it takes so long to get the part. Totally unacceptable to wait that long for a part. Now today, my sister-in-law, who also has a 2010 Fusion started having the same problem and she has a lot less miles on her car (about 40,000). Reading all of the issue others are having with this part on the internet, I feel that there should be a recall on this part and my replacement should be covered.

I was going down the interstate felt my car jerk like it slipped out of gear and then I was unable to accelerate, I managed to pull over turn the car off. After restarting it, it was fine. I took it to the dealership I purchased it at turns out it was the throttle body, which seems to be a common problem with the 2010 Fusion. Since it was no longer under warranty I did some research on line and found a ton of complaints just like mine. I called Ford and asked about the recall however my car was not under recall for this problem. And there was nothing they would do to make it good. So I'm stuck paying the repair bill for something evidentially is a common problem. It is a safety concern and dangerous.

I was driving down my local street at approx 25 mph. The engine lost power and was stuck in a rough idle. This has happened at least 6 times now. This is a very dangerous situation that is known to Ford (faulty throttle body). Someone is going to die soon or get hurt in an accident if the car loses power like this. There are hundreds of complaints on the internet about this known problem. Ford should do a recall now!

While driving on the interstate, approx. 65-70 mph, the vehicle shudders, loses all throttle response, and the wrench light and check engine light illuminate on the dash display. The vehicle does not shut off or stall, but it does enter limp mode. Once the vehicle is shut off and restarted the wrench light is no longer illuminated and the vehicle will operate normally. This situation repeated 4 different times on the incident date. After speaking with the service manager at the local Ford dealership the problem was acknowledged as a defective throttle body.

While traveling aprox 65mph down a 4 lane hwy at 6:20 am on 6/24/13, my car began to decelerate and would not respond/accelerate when the gas pedal was pressed. The red "wrench" light lit up on the information center on the dash board. I managed to get the car to the side of the road before it finally cut off. I waited a minute or two and tried attempted to restart the engine and it restarted successfully. I was able to cautiously continue driving until I reached a Ford dealership later that morning at which point they told me it the throttle body. They went on to say that Ford was not covering this repair and that there was no recall in effect! this repair cost me $300 of which I could not spare from my budget! thankfully there were no cars or tractor trailer behind when my car began to decelerate! this needs to be a safety recall immediately, before many people are killed!!!!

I was traveling at approximately 65mph down a two lane highway when I lost all throttle response through my accelerator pedal. Engine went to a very "rough" idle around 600 - 800 RPM and the maintenance wrench indicator light illuminated. Luckily I was traveling down grade and was able to safely coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway. After safely parking the vehicle I depressed the accelerator pedal with absolutely no response. After having the vehicle towed to a dealership the service technician smiled and told me it was the throttle body that was malfunctioning. Quoted me on a price for a new part and labor without even inspecting the vehicle ($352)! if this problem was obvious to the technician without the vehicle even being checked, why hasn't Ford recalled this part?

Throttle body shorted battery and caused engine to stall in traffic. When trying to restart, engine sped up fast became very dangerous. Ford has these throttle bodys on back order... that's sad. Pls recall asap before someone loses their life.

I was driving home from the store today on a 4 lane road and was making a left turn when the car powered down to 1 mph and stayed there. Thankfully the car I turned in front of had plenty of time to slow down to avoid me. I traveled two blocks home as the car only allowed me to go 1 mph with the wrench light on and with a slightly jerky ride. I called my local repair shop and they got me in to take a look at it. I assumed bad gas or a fuel line needed to be cleaned, but also thought it was odd that a three year old car needed any work. They troubleshooter and cleaned the fuel lines and took out the moisture they thought was causing this. The mechanic then took it for a test run in the local parking lot where the car shut down on him and once he restarted the car ran fine. He said no codes came up but with investigating online he found it to be the fuel throttle needed to be replaced and he would call me for an estimate and that I might want to join the complaint issue online. I will receive my estimate on Monday. Ford really needs to take care of their customers. I have no problem paying for a wear and tear issue. I do have a problem with companies ignoring customer complaints and not tackling the issue before a death ensues. Is it really worth someone being severely injured or killed over saving your name? funny part is that I choose to go back to an american made car after wanting to support the recovery and fellow family members that work for Ford. I will never forgive Ford if they do not take care of this and if my car is $400 or more in repair. This has happened 4 times now and I am afraid to drive the car. Please help.

While driving on the highway the vehicle suddenly lost power, the wrench light turned on and it began to shake as if driving on a rumble strip. I had to pull through three lanes of traffic during rush hour without power just to reach the shoulder. I turned the vehicle off and had to gather myself, really happy not to have been hit by other vehicles. I attempted to turn the vehicle back on after a few minutes and the light had turned off and everything worked fine. The same thing happened the next morning on a residential street. Taking the car into a Ford dealer as soon as I can.

Traveling aprox 60mph on highway. Lost power. Yellow wrench symbol came on. Coasted to safety. After several minutes tied to restart. Restarted normally. Finished trip. Later computer diagnosis showed PO2111 and PO2112. Ford would not assist. Later found many have had similar issues. Safety problem!

The steering wheel starting shaking as the car lost power and eventually completely stalled. After several minutes it started but we didn't even get a mile further before the same thing happened again. As this was happening the check engine light came on and a little wrench lamp lit up on the instrument panel. After about 20 minutes we were able to start the car again and drive it to a Ford dealership several miles away where they replaced the throttle body 4 days later. It took them that long to get the part in because they had trouble finding one since so many other people were having the same problem.

Driving down interstate at 70 miles per hour in far left lane when vehicle unexpectedly loses power. Accelerator pedal completely unresponsive, and engine speed drops to approximately 800 RPM. I had to quickly maneuver across two lanes, which were occupied by tractor trailers to get to right shoulder. Came extremely close to having a major accident during heavy traffic which would have certainly involved 15-20 vehicles due to sudden onset and heavy traffic. Vehicle idled extremely rough upon stop. Vehicle would restart and operate normally for an unknown amount of time, then the same issue would happen again. This appears to be a very common problem for Ford Fusion built prior to late 2011 and Ford escapes. This is a very dangerous malfunction, and a recall should absolutely be issued. Online research has a consensus that the problem is a bad throttle body. There are hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of the exact same problem from these vehicles. I have been very satisfied with this vehicle until this point.

When traveling down the road in typical conditions the power could cut out on the engine. Electrical power would still be on but no power would go to the engine forcing me to pull off the road and restart. This has happened several times and caused a minor bump with a traffic barrel. Ford lists this as service notice when it should be a recall, I could have been killed had I not had enough room to avoid the semi truck speeding behind me.

While driving the vehicle it seemed to loose power and was idling rough. Was able to pull off the road, opened the hood and the engine was shaking and running rough. Vehicle was only going a couple miles an hour as driver tried to make it back to his motel, when the vehicle just turned off. Driver let the vehicle sit for a minute and then tried to start it again, and it started up. The vehicle would run but it has extremely limited power. Vehicle was taken to the nearest Ford dealership where it was determined that it was a failed throttle body and that the part was on national back order. Had to wait two weeks for the part to become available.

Driver was driving 2010 Ford Fusion approximately 50 mph when the vehicle started to shake and decelerate. It felt like the vehicle was losing power. Driver had to put hazard lights on and pull off the road. The vehicle was turned off and the driver was able to restart the vehicle and drive slowly to a convenience store where she was able to call to be towed to the nearest Ford dealership. When the vehicle arrived at the Ford dealership it was diagnosed as having a throttle body failure. The vehicle is currently still in the shop waiting for the throttle body assembly to be available to replace the faulty part. Currently the driver is without the vehicle that is required for them to do their job.

Car was idling in park. Put car in drive, started moving forward slowly and the engine started to shake, lost throttle control, check engine and wrench lights illuminated. Engine died within about 10 seconds. Turned the ignition off and restarted the car. It ran normally for about 25 feet and exhibited the same symptoms as before. Restarted the car again and was able to limp the car to a suitable parking space about 250 feet away. After sitting for a minute with the car off, I started it again and it ran normal for the rest of the day. I drove to the nearest autozone and had them scan the computer codes. Found P2111 - throttle actuator control.

I was driving to my friends and all of a sudden my car stalled on me. It wouldn't move when I pushed on the gas it just slowed down while my battery light wrench light and engine light came on. It was dead. I shut the car off and turned it back on and it was fine like nothing happened. Less than a mile it did it again on a busy road. I was freaking out and worried about my life on the busy road. So I shut it off again and started and lucky I made to the Ford service before it did it again and decided to have them check it out. The throttle body gad to be replaced and was the reason why my car was acting up. I thank god that I wasn't on the freeway around rush hour time.

While accelerating up a hill or incline, the motor powered down to the point of stalling, whereby I was almost involved in an accident. This has happened twice today, and on one occasion in December 2012, but the specifics I cannot recall.

- Kettering, OH, USA

Engine is surging when stopped at lights and now when air conditioner is on it goes almost off while the surge happens then comes back on when the surge stops. I have to keep my foot on the brake tight as the car wants to move. Happens every 5-10 seconds or so and every time I am at idle. When pulling into garage at slow speed the car surges so I have to drive with my foot on the brake.

I was very worried when my car appeared to just turn off as I was slowing down from the interstate. I thought it was a fluke, bad connection and hoped it would never do it again. Car did start back up with no issues, that day. Unfortunately, it happened a lot on Saturday 7/20/13. I parked the car and never drove it Sunday. Called Ford first thing Monday - 7/22/13 and they were too busy to help. I had to take my car to a non dealership and they confirmed it was the throttle body. I had previously researched and wrote down the codes that would possibly come up. As the other company stated this is a known issue, I thankfully have an extended warranty to cover cost but I was advised that this is around $1,000. Ford is charging me my deductible for a known safely issue that has not been recalled" why? when" im hoping by adding to the list we can make sure they take care of their customers before they issue arises rather than after we are stuck on the side of the road. I've been without a car for 2 days and no concern of Ford. I need a reliable car, as im still paying for it. All of the issues are exactly following these articles - www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/02/25/probe-Ford-cars-SUVS-stalling/1945799/ and www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/02/25/feds-probe-725000-limp-Ford-Mercury-vehicles-for-fault/ I've had horrible service from Ford and would prefer a non partisan company to fix but I am forced to go back to them to take car of issue.
