I was parking my 09 fusion at my son's preschool, and was almost stopped in the spot, when my car violently and unexpectedly accelerated forward up over a 4 inch curb. I pressed on the brake as hard as i could, but it was the tree that i hit that stopped me. There was no damage to the car, but i had both my children (4 years old and 11 months old) in their car seats with me at the time. This is the second time it…

I have twice now experienced a catastrophic engine/power train failure while at speed and in traffic. While driving and without any prior notice, my car immediately shuts down. During which the engine stalls, power brakes fail, and steering wheel locks. Luckily i was in a position in traffic where i could quickly engage the hazard lights and allow plenty of reaction time for other drivers to avoid me. After the car…

Vehicle shifts very irregularly- seems to go in and out of gear and when stepping on gas pedal it does not respond then jerks into drive gear. Two warning lights came on in dash, small wrench and check engine. An obd code reader was used to determine a fault code of po 772 ( shift solenoid stuck on) and car was taken into a ford dealer. Initially told that warrant had expired but engine and drive train warranty is…

I'm getting a check engine light and a wrench symbol on my dashboard. When i take it to get checked, it says 'faulty throttle body' or throttle control actuator. This causes my ford fusion to go into 'limp home' mode. This is a mode that causes that car to accelerate no more than 20 miles an hour. The problem with this is that it happens when i'm in the middle of traffic, traveling at speeds of 55-70 miles an hour.…
