Driver was complaining that the vehicle was running rough while driving. The vehicle stalled a couple of times and the driver was able to get it restarted and drive it into the nearest Ford dealership. It was determined after diagnostic that it was the throttle body that had gone out and needed to be repaired. The shop told us it would be a minimum of 3-4 days before they received the throttle body assembly before they would even be able to start the repairs.

Rapid deceleration while on the freeway, wrench sign came on. Pulled on the side of the freeway and car started sputtering and jerking, turned car off turned back on and drive fine. Back on the freeway the next day during rush hour traffic and rapid deceleration happened again. Pulled over in rush hour traffic (very dangerous by the way) turned car off and back on and ran fine. Ford says it will cost me $565 for a new throttle body and cam on a 3 year old vehicle that has had regular maintenance.

Basically the car shut down driving down the Pennsylvania turnpike on Friday morning at 65 mph, the car totally shut down. This happened 2 times at 65 mph and one time at about 25 mph while entering the turnpike. I was very lucky that the tractor trailer behind me going about 70 mph, saw something was wrong with my car and had time moved over into the passing or he would have hit my car and killed me. This happen one more time during my morning commute at that speed. I took my car yesterday to the Ford dealer and he repaired the throttle body motor assembly. I have notified Ford customer service case # cas-#[xxx], but I believe this is an immediate life & health safety recall issue.

For the last couple of weeks I have been having an issue with my 3 year old Ford Fusion (2010) started stalling out at random times for no apparent reason. When this happened the first time I called my local dealer and asked him what may be wrong with my vehicle and he said that there was a common issue with the throttle body, which causes the car to stall occasionally and that it would cost me around $350 for the part alone. I believe this to a major safety problem because one time this happened to me I was traveling on the highway at 60mph with a semi-truck behind me and the trucker came very close to hitting me. I also had this happen to me at an intersection while taking off from a red light, turning left. I have done some online research about this issue and it does seem to be a problem amongst many Ford Fusion owners in cars that are only 2 or 3 years old. If this is such a common occurrence that Ford dealers know that this issue exists then I ask why hasn't this part been recalled?

I was driving home doing about 50 mph, and all of a sudden the car lost power and I was unable to accelerate. The car started shaking violently and it finally stopped down to about 2-3 mph. I took it to the Ford dealership and had to pay $824 to replace the throttle body. Ford never mentioned anything about this being a problem. I have seen numerous news stories about this very problem.

I was driving my car on the expressway and suddenly my engine died with no warning and the rpms dropped. I came very close to an accident and luckily was able to get it off the road. People drive very fast and I feel lucky to be unhurt. I have a defective throttle body and I can no longer drive my car till it is fixed. This is very dangerous and should be recalled. They say the circuit board is faulty and is sending the engine the wrong signal. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed. Please add this to your list of other complaints. I bought my car on July 11, 2009 thank U

I was driving about 60 mph on the highway, and the engine stopped. I coasted to the side of the road, and turned off the key to reset the alarm code. The car started and drove normally for about 2 miles, then the engine stopped again. Within 5 miles the car would barely run at all, the engine was mis-firing and clunking along at 2 mph and stalling every few feet. I had no previous indications of a problem. The car was running fine, and then within 5 miles it was completely un-drivable. The problem was failure of the throttle body, cost $525 to repair. There are many reports of this problem on the internet.

My 18 year old son was getting ready to get on the freeway and the vehicle suddenly slowed to 30 mph. We took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body at our expense. This issue is so common that Ford is having a hard time producing enough throttle bodies. The part is on national back order and this particular dealer had a car in the shop that had waited 1 month for this part. This is a serious safety issue. One minute later and my son would have been doing 65mph on the freeway. Imagine if he was in traffic and suddenly could not travel faster than 30 mph. In addition, since this event the Ford sync and bluetooth features no longer work.

I was driving home from the local store and came up to a light. As I started to turn right and accelerate, the engine suddenly stopped accelerating. The incident occurred at about 1000 RPM's. the "service engine soon" light appeared. I quickly pulled over to the side of the street and turned the car off. I turned the car back on and got no more then 100 yards without the same thing happening again. I repeatedly did this until I managed to get home. A tow truck took it into the dealership and they said the throttle body was bad so they replaced it. I'm thankful this didn't happen when I was turning left with oncoming traffic which could have easily resulted in an accident.

I was leaving work driving down columbia pike road in arlington, va. @ 3:30 in the afternoon on August 22, 2013 heading towards interstate 395. I has stopped at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green and my 2010 Ford Fusion began to shake violently, as if it was going to cut off for no apparent reason. I looked at the dash board and saw an illuminated wrench and could not figure out what was happening. The street light turned green and I mashed on the gas pedal and the car did not have any forward motion. The car continued to shake violently, so I immediately turned on my emergency flashers to warn the other cars and for my safety, that I was having a mechanical problem with my car and coasted down the hill looking for a safe location to try and figure out exactly what was wrong with the car. As I coast down the hill, I continued mashing the gas pedal with no results. I pulled over stopped the car and turned the car off for a few minutes trying to figure out my next step. Just by chance I decided to try and restart the car and the car started up with forward motion. If I had been on the interstate 395 near the pentagon, I could have lost my life because of this problem. I called my wife who lives in atlanta and told her what had happened and by chance that evening on the atlanta news other Ford owners were describing this very same issue (throttle body failure) on there Ford vehicles. I am filing a complaint against Ford motors to get this problem fixed at no cost to the Ford owners. We paid our money for a quality product and Ford should stand behind there product and fix it not just run away from the problem.

Upon accelerating from a dead stop at a traffic signal, I could not accelerate past 15 mph. I pulled over to the side of the road an the car was idling very roughly and on the verge of stalling. I turned the car off, waited 1-2 minutes, restarted the car and the car was running "normally". I don't recall if any of the dashboard lights came on. I took the vehicle into my local Ford dealer and was told that the issue is the throttle body and it needs to be replaced and that the stalling could happen at any given time. Unfortunately the part id on back-order for 1-2 months so I need to live with this dangerous issue for some time. The car is a 2010 Ford Fusion. I am the original owner (purchased in Dec '09) and this is the first occurrence of this stalling issue.

I was driving on the highway at about 65 mph when my vehicle lost power. Pushing the gas did nothing. I had to coast off the side of the road. Restarting my vehicle seemed to resolve the issue. The second incident was in town. I was driving about 35 mph when my vehicle lost power. I pulled off to the side, the vehicle sputtered as if it might die. I turned off the engine and then restarted it. I drove about 1/4 mile to my mechanic who was unable to diagnose the problem with his scanner. He thinks it is the " drive by wire " or a sensor.

I purchased my 2010 Ford Fusion in April of 2012 and have had many incidents of the "check fuel inlet" message after filling up. Sometimes it will trigger the check engine light to illuminate. I have had a diagnostic test ran when this has occurred and was told it was that the gas flap didn't seal properly when I removed the fuel nozzle. This again occurred on Aug. 17, 2013 but the car was running fine. Then on Aug. 22 I had 3 incidents within 30 minutes of each other. The first incident was while traveling on the highway at approximately 65 mph the wrench warning light came on and the vehicle lost all power. I managed to get the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. I turned the vehicle off and restarted it and was able to travel the next 4 miles with some sputtering and racing of the engine. The second incident I was pulling away from the curb trying to accelerate. The wrench warning light came back on and the vehicle had no power. The third incident I was traveling approximately 20 mph when the engine again lost power and the wrench warning light came on. After researching this issue it seems to be a common occurrence and should become a recall by Ford Motor Company.

I was driving on highway all F a sudden car starts to stall. I was in my left lane when this happened. Pulled on side of road turned car off waited 2 min started car again. As I was approaching 50 to 55 mph car started to stall again with wrench light on.. pulled off again noticed that there was a problem with the vehical. Got car towed to shop and come to find out my throttle body needs to be replaced. Mechanic said that alot of Fusion have been having this problem and its a defective part and its a safety concern. It cost me $600 to replace part. This part is a safety concern and can kill alot of people if this part is not recalled.. if there was a semi behind me and I stalled I would B dead for a faulty part Ford has not yet seemed to recall.. this is a serious matter and needs to be addressed asap... help save lives not take them!!!!! we purchase cars to be reliable not a death trap!

I was driving down the interstate and I pushed the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate. This happened twice within 2 miles. I took the car to a local garage and they said it was the throttle body. I took the vehicle to my local Ford dealership and paid for it to be fixed because the car was no longer under warranty. Hopefully if there is a recall, I can get reimbursed for my repair bill.
