As I was driving southbound outer drive barely crossing pelham my Fusion lost power as described by all other thottle body failures I have read. I was almost rearended by a truck behind me that was trying to make the light. Currently, there is a backorder on the throttle body assmblies and I am out of a vehicle until they deliver..

When driving my car on the interstate, it would shake really bad anytime we got above 60 mphs. At 65, it would shut off. The engine was still running the rpms would not go above 1000. We could put the car in neutral and restart the car - no go. To get driving again, we had to stop the car completely. Wait 5 minutes. And start again. This happened 5 times. The Ford dealer found a problem with the electronic throttle body and is replacing it. The car is out of warranty though...

My Fusion was towed to the Ford dealership in anaheim ca. I am having to replace my 2 year old cars: Electronic throttle malfunctioned while I was driving on the freeway it kept stalling even though the engine is still running, this also happened a month ago and I took it in and a diagnostic was done finding nothing wrong it showed no problems, I also video taped the event. This happened both at speeds of 60-65 and 40 miles per hour. I am on disability and it is now going to cost over $400 that I cannot afford.

This has happened several times. As I am driving down the road both accelerating or at a constant speed, the wrench light will come on and the vehicle with no longer have throttle abilities. I have to pull off to the shoulder of the road because nothing works. As the vehicle stops and I shift into neutral, the vehicle shakes excessively. I shut the vehicle off, wait a minute, turn it back on and the wrench is gone and the vehicle runs properly until the next occurrence. Ford has been notified about this for years and refuses to put out a recall on the throttle body which is the problem.

While making a turn my car lost all power. I coasted to the side of the road and had to wait a few minutes for my car to be able to start again. No error codes were posted. Since then I have been having intermittent and significant power losses while driving and while idling. Driving in reverse is difficult and I have to practically burn my clutch just to back up. I took my car to the dealer who said that the spark plugs had gone bad and they replaced them. The car ran smoothly for a few weeks but the power loss returned. I have not taken it back to the dealership since they have proven to be incompetent. I suspect the problem is the throttle body.

1st incident: Car stalled in traffic while going 40 mph, coasted into parking lot, restarted car and drove fine - no warning lights 2nd incident: 6 weeks later with no issues or warning lights car stalled again late at night while going 35 mph up a small rise 3rd incident: 2 days later - still no warning lights, car suddenly lost power, did not stall, but would not go over 5 mph while entering attempting to enter interstate. Sat on side of interstate for 45 minutes waiting on a tow truck. I had the car towed to a Ford dealership. They replaced the throttle body which cost $385. The notes on the invoice state they "retrieved code P2111 throttle system stuck open." I feel certain Ford has some serious issues with these cars as the transmission has already had to be rebuilt.

Was driving for about 1 mile, then all of a sudden car was still running but no throttle on a very busy road lucky was able to get pull over. I feel that a car with only 45,504 miles should not done that. I keep my maintenance up to date. And was not cover under my warranty. That's $ $450 I didn't have { throttle body} that's is the first time I have felt unsafe driving my car. For being a woman that could have been on the interstate at a faster speed it could have been a disaster for everyone. Thank you.

The throttle body in my 2010 Ford Fusion has been malfunctioning. It will not allow me to accelerate. My incident happened on a hill, I had to go into reverse to find a safe plave to turn off my car to restart. Seeking a recall for this part as I've read online this has happened to many 2010 Fusion owners.

- Reston, VA, USA

Driving on interstate at highway speeds (65mph+), car suddenly lost power and slowed, shuddering as it stopped. Difficult to restart, able to continue on driving for several miles before occurring again. Had vehicle towed to Ford dealer in the area for service. Diagnosed as throttle body failure; dealer service has replaced throttle body as of 5/3/2013.

- Wake Forest, NC, USA

Advisory mechanical wrench lit up on dash - loss all acceleration power. Had to coast off side of road and place transmission in park - and turn off low idle engine. This occurred 3 X's all similar this same day. Prior, had complained to auto dealership about 1st couple incidents (approx) 4 other times; they indicated they found no issue. I will have codes read 1st thing in the morning, by autozone looking for P2111 and P2112 - then take it to the dealership. This is very unsafe - and now I am worried to have my wife drive alone with this vehicle. Its our only car.

This happened 5 times within 2 weeks before I was able to get the issue diagnosed and fixed. I have only owned the car for 2 months. This happened at the worse possible moment every time. I live in Hawaii which is known for its 4 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic (no farther than 20' apart or some one will pull in between you) going 70mph. This incident happened 4 times to me on the highway during this rush hour traffic. Incident: Was casually driving at a cruising speed (70 mph not accelerating) when the car shifted to 1st gear and idled at 1000-1200 rpms. I could not accelerate, and I could not shift gears manually (I have the manual override feature). Nothing worked and my car quickly slowed down to a crawling speed of about 10 mph. I was in the left lane. In Hawaii, that means you are stuck next to a concrete median less than 2 feet from the actual lane. This meant that I had to get from the left lane across 3 lanes traffic to the right lane with cars no farther than 20' apart going 60-75 mph while I was going 10 mph. Needless to say it was not the highlight of my day/month/year... this happened 4 more times within the next 2 weeks. Fortunately I learned my lesson and stuck to the right lane (of course one of these times there was no right hazard lane either so I had to drive 10mph for about 5 minutes on the highway before I could get to a turnoff). When I took it in for diagnostics nothing came up on the reading. Fortunately my technician drove it and it failed on him so he was able to figure out it was the electronic throttle control. $350 (based on research usually costs about $500 but I know the tech.) later I have it fixed enough to trade it in for a foreign car.

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion, my car started surging for about 20 miles then as I was driving down the highway, it lost acceleration, the engine was running, but it lost speed it would not go, I pushed the pedal to the floor and without warning, it quit going! I had to try to guide it to the side of the road. I put my hazard lights on and sat on the side of the road. I cranked it back up and drove a few more miles surging and it cut off while driving on the highway again, very dangerous. I got it to the advance auto parts and they put a detector on it and it said it was the throttle sensor. This is very scary and dangerous and should be recalled before someone is injured or killed.

Going 70 mph on I 75 in atlanta.. car just shut down.. almost got hit by a 18 wheeler. Made it to shoulder. Wrench light was on. So I guess it is the throttle body. How is this not a recall? I see many other complaints on google about the same situation with this car.

- Acworth, GA, USA

This morning while traveling the interstate with cruise control set at 75mph my car had a swift jerking motion and lost all acceleration accident was a near miss trying to get off highway to emergency lane. Towed to Ford dealer and right away they knew it was a throttle body failure. Car showed no signs of anything being wrong until incident occurred. Throttle body replaced at my expense due to they say not covered under powetrain warranty. Ford obviously knows there is a problem with this and refuses to acknowledge it at this time. Have read several forums of numerous other people with same problem and ran across article of your investigation of Ford. Ford should be held responsible for there faulty parts. In the right situation some is going to lose there life related to this problem.

- Cullman, AL, USA

As I accelerated from a red light, the car sputtered and seemed to stall. The wrench light flashed on but didn't stay on. Since it drove fine after that, we didn't take it in. About a month later, it happened again. I researched it online and realized many people are having the same problem. We called Ford and scheduled an appointment. It happened 6 times in a 20 minute drive before we got it. Ford replaced (at a charge to us!) the throttle body and it has been fine since.
