Our 2009 ford fusion sometimes does not respond when the gas pedal is pressed...then the car quickly leaps forward and accelerates. I presume it may be a problematic throttle positioning sensor / throttle assembly unit. I've done some reading on this...it appears this is a known problem.?...is there a recall...any recourse we could pursue to get this repair done for "free" per se? Thank you [xxx] information…

My 2009 ford fusion would not crank, then when it did it idled rough and would not speed up. I had it towed to my ford dealer who informed me that the throttle body had to be replaced. Even though ford has a customer satisfaction program 13b17 and 13b03 that refers to my car, i was informed that my car was not covered. I'm glad that i was not driving the car at the time.

I pressed down on the accelerator to try to move the car out of the middle of the 4-lane intersection, but it moved at a snail's pace maybe 4 feet from the turn lane. The car…

The fault prompts the car to go into a "limp home" mode or reduced power mode which in turn causes the car to act as though it's running out of gas. From a driving perspective, it has put me in a few precarious…
