Our ford fusion suddenly lost power and starting acting in an unpredictable fashion, while traveling on rte 95 north in the passing lane. We narrowly avoided a rear end collision with the vehicle behind us, as well as other vehicles as we worked to get over to the safety of the breakdown lane. An orange wrench light was in an "on" state and the car was running very rough. After checking all gauges and fluids, i…

Wrench light flashes on the dash as the car slows to 20 mpr or less, gas pedal to the floor and it wont go. I shut the car off and turn it back on it runs until it slows down again another 20-30 miles. This year should've been recalled as the 2009-2012 models. *tr

I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive i was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, i was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about 5 min before happening again. I ended up…

Upon driving the speed became erratic and the car slowed down very quickly requiring me to pullover quickly for fear of a rear end collision. At that time i saw the wrench light on my dash. I feel that is a hazard that should be corrected under the warranty or as a recall from ford company. The wait for parts is almost a month, ford should give a loaner car as i am afraid to drive my car in traffic. Thank you *tr

Doing approx. 55 mph when vehicle suddenly decelerated. Coasted into a parking lot. Turned car off, waited and restarted it. It ran fine after that but i took it to the ford dealer who said it needed a throttle body replacement at a significant cost to me.

I previously thought it was just my operation, the floor mat interfering with the gas pedal, or my imagination as it had happened twice before over the last 18 months. However, the incident yesterday was quite evident without any other outside influence. I had been driving in our rural area using the cruise control of our fusion. I tapped on the brake to disengage the control, and slowed to a stop sign. After…
