- Georgetown, TX, USA

Car idling rough, engine stalls multiple times when at idle or slow (parking lot) speeds. Multiple occurrences over several days. Read that it was a very common problem with these Ford Fusion cars, being the throttle body. Verified with mechanics. No trouble codes given by on board computer. Several days later, engine stalled while driving on the interstate at speeds of 65-70mph. This has continued happening from time to time, even after cleaning of the throttle body that is on national backorder. Idle issues also continue. Still no trouble codes given by the on board computer.

After traveling on the highway @ 60 miles per hr, the car lost acceleration speed and was slowing down. The check engine light and a wrench was shown on the dash board.the car would not work. After I turned it off and was able to restart but no sooner it happened again, unable to accelerate. This happened to me a few weeks ago on my way to work. I was traveling 40mph when I lost power and could not accelerate.

- St Peters, MO, USA

I was driving down the highway at 65 mph and heard what seemed like a loud pop and right away I noticed my car losing power and when I hit the gas the speedometer kept going down. Fortunately traffic was not too bad and I was able to pull off the road and call for a truck to tow me to the dealership. When they inspected the car they stated that I needed a new throttle body. The car gave absolutely no warning and had it been in different traffic conditions could have caused a serious accident.

I was on I 81 South near staunton va, passing a line of trucks with a line of cars behind me when the engine lost all power. I was down to 10 mph before I could get to the shoulder and pull off the road, all the time bracing for an 80 mph impact. The engine was still running at idle, but would not respond to the throttle and the wrench icon dash light was on. I cut off and restarted the engine, the light went out and it ran like nothing had happened. I took it to the dealer I bought it from the next day, they confirmed it was the throttle body and said it wasn't covered by the power train warranty. This is fraudulent because it is an engine part, and the engine is part of the power train. I ordered a replacement off ebay, and changed it myself. You only have remove four 8mm screws and the electric plug. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

- Philadelphia, PA, USA

Lost engine power while driving and could not accelerate or maintain speed. Engine was still running however. Turned off car and restarted and acceleration worked like normal. This happened again today (9/18/2013).

- Chelmsford, MA, USA

In the middle of my drive home on the interstate at 60mph, the car just suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. As I put on my hazard lights and began pulling off to the side of the interstate, the car began mildly lurching. Luckily, I was able to safely pull to the side of the interstate and get the car stopped. I turned the vehicle off and restarted a few minutes later to find the vehicle appearing to be completely fine. I got off of the interstate at the next exit and luckily made it safely home. Upon taking the car to the dealership to be looked over, I was told the throttle body was "gummed up" and would need to be replaced. I am told that this type of repair is not something commonly needed to be done on a car only a few years old with only 56,000 miles, and the sudden loss of all ability to safely control the car on the interstate is an extreme safety concern.

As I was exiting rt. 35 to interstate 75, a major traffic interchange, my 2010 Ford Fusion died and I was forced to pull over to a very slim berm area to shut it off and start it back up again. It seems the throttle body was "stuck" and it had to be replaced. This was a very dangerous situation that I should not have been involved in due to something Ford knows is an issue with Fusion. Please encourage a mandatory recall so that lives are not lost! I was fortunate to not have caused an accident but someone else may not be so lucky. I would hope that Ford would not want any casualties on their conscious and would fix this known problem.

Vehicle stalled during morning traffic. Pulled to side and restarted. Stalled again. Had to get car towed to dealership. Throttle body needed to be replaced.

- Houston, TX, USA

10 months ago I purchased a so called certified pre owned car, on or about Aug 24th I was driving to work on a busy street at N approx speed of 40 mph when my car suddenly shut off, I was unable to pull over and was towed to the nearest dealer. After being in the svc dept for 4 days I was told the issue was fixed and charged a $100 deductible for nothing, as I was leaving the dealer I noticed my rpms acting up and before I drove off the lot I made it aware to svc advisor his response was that it was normal after the svc performed on my car and to continue to drive it. 2 weeks later I was on a 8 lane hwy driving at a speed of 65-70 mph and the same thing happened. I was in the middle off all lanes and was unable to get to the shoulder in a secure area. It was rush hour traffic and I was in extreme danger expecting a disaster to happen behind me. I stayed in my car and my roadside assistance arrived and took me to my dealer, a day later I was told it was the throttle body and that my warrant did not cover it and I would have to pay $600+ to repair, I asked the advisor to not touch the car that I would consult an attorney as I find it unfair to pay such a significant amount of cash for a so called certified car I purchased not even a year ago. Come to find out im not alone, there are many other issues with this car and something needs to be done by Ford asap.

I was traveling on a two-lane paved road in a 50 mile an hour zone when I felt the car start to decelerate. I pushed on the gas pedal but nothing happened and the car continued to slow down. I was able to pull over at the intersection of a side road where I shut the car off. I started the car back up and proceeded out into the main road. Less than a mile down the road the car started to decelerate again and I turned onto my street and coasted to a stop. Both times the check engine light and the wrench icon on the dash came on. When I had the cause of the check engine light diagnosed, I found out that the car's throttle body had failed. I could only order the part through a Ford dealership and the closest one is 40 minutes away from me.

Due to the failure of the throttle body, the car engine quits at various speeds or will not accelerate and stalls with on coming traffic. When this happens, the cars power brakes and steering fail to work creating a very unsafe event. Ford has had hundreds or thousands of problems with this according to the local dealership, if fact they have several cars waiting for parts (throttle body) to repair in their back lot. I have been promised by Ford customer service the part would be shipped for over three or four weeks, but they have shipped none due to the manufacture on back order or putting the parts in "new" cars to sell. We have no choice but to keep driving the vehicle doing this time. Ford refuses to provide a rental car since my car is "out of warranty", in the mean time, they will not ship the part to repair. If, according to the dealership, they are having this problem with multiple models, why has this not be a recall by Ford to fix or furnish a replacement while they can't send the part to fix the safety problem. (when the car quits at 35-60mph in traffic, this is a safety problem.)

The car stalled out completely during driving, no power was left to drive with, luckily it was in a quiet street!!

- Charlotte, NC, USA

I was driving home from work when my car stalled and a wrench light came on. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road, turned the car off and on, and drove to my mechanic. He drove around to try and re create the problem. After 100 or so miles it happened again and it turned out to be codes P2111 and P2112 which turned out to be throttle body codes. I had to pay to get the throttle body replaced because it is not covered under any warranty and is not a recalled part.

- Bushnell, FL, USA

While traveling on Ohio route 306, the car lost all throttle power abruptly, in heavy traffic. Due to the failure of the throttle body, I went from 45 to zero on an incline with many cars behind me honking. I restarted the car but while the engine was running I had no throttle power at all. Ford does not see a problem here and said it is not a major issue. Had my daughter been driving and this happened to her, I would have been concerned for her safety with the heavy traffic and dangerous conditions getting out of the vehicle. Though I was not as concerned for myself, the failure put me in an extremely vulnerable and dangerous state.

While traveling on I64 Sunday September 8th on the way home from williamsburg, my car, while in a lot of heavy traffic on the interstate, stalled and the " wrench " light came on. Luckily I had good control of the car to pull off the interstate. The car lost all power and wouldn't response to throttle input. The car was shut off and after 10 minutes, attempt to restart car which was successful. Car run normally for about 140 additional miles, then stalled to low power and lack of throttle response yet again. Turning off and then turning back on was unsuccessful in getting the vehicle to run normal again. Tow truck was called and vehicle towed to local Ford dealership. Was informed that the throttle body was the culprit and was on backorder. If this is a known problem, why are people being put at risk for serious injury or death, without being informed of the potential of probable stalling.

Driving vehicle and the engine starts surging and fails to response to gas pedal movement. The dtc code displayed two days later with code reader connect pre-failure was P2111.

- Garden City, MI, USA

Drove off from work and shortly after I noticed the car slowed down and started to vibrate and finally lost power. I was able to pull over, I turned off car then tried to restart but it did the same thing. I then decided to shut it off again and give it more time surely after a few minutes it seemed to be fine but right before getting home it happened again. Husband drove to autozone and had a diagnostic check and results were..."trouble shooting problem from auto zone code P2111 the throttle actuator control system".
