    I was in a line of traffic to turn left at a turn signal. The cars in front of me went when the light turned green. When the light turned yellow, the truck in front of me stopped. I went from accelerating to braking, and the brake was pushed to the floor, but the car was still accelerating. I obviously rear-ended the car in front of me. He said he could see me and let off his brake when he realized my car wasn't…

We coasted over to the side of the road. After several on-off attempts we limped off the highway via the exit and into the tire choice car care shop in bradenton, fl. Their computer determined the problem to be the throttle…

    The first time the incident occurred i was riding down the interstate and just out of no where the car cuts off without warning....in the middle of traffic!!! The orange wrench light came on and then the engine light. I was able to get to the side of the road and restart the car. I was able to get a diagnostic test done at oreilys and the code p1121 (or something like that) indicated that the throttle control was…

    I experienced a sudden and dramatic loss of power, such that it instantly felt that the vehicle was going to stall. I was only on a city street so it was easy to pull over but had i been going 70mph on the highway this could have been extremely dangerous in the wrong situation. Turned the car off and back on and all was fine. A mile or so later the same problem occurred and check engine came on. My mechanic pulled…

    Driving down the road, 65 mph and my car just loses power. Called ford and told them what happened, took it in and they said the throttle body, it's been 3 weeks and still no part, this seems to be a common problem and the part is on back order.

    Was on my way to work when without any warning my car started jerking and running really rough. Then it just would not go any further as i kept trying to give it the gas. Luckily i arrived at work. Thinking i had received some bad gas and it would pass, but it just kept getting worse. Now i can't even drive it for fear of it stopping and i would be stranded. *tr

    This is my second complaint in as many days - about the exact same problem. This incident happened two days after the first one. Traveling on a city street approximately 15-20 mph and the car suddenly loses all acceleration and the wrench light appears. I was able to putter to the side of the road and shut the car off. When i restarted it, it ran fine. It goes to the dealer today for inspection, where i suspect i'll…

I coasted into a parking lot and put the car in park. It started to vibrate and make noise. I shut it off and tried to restart it. It seemed normal so i started to drive home. I got about 3 mile and it did it again. It has steadily done this…

    We bought our 2010 ford fusion used and the day we purchased the car we had a problem. The check engine light was on and when we asked the dealership we were told it was because they had just changed the oil and needed to reset the computer. We noticed that when we stopped the car would jump forward and stall. We called the dealership and were told to bring the car back and they would fix it and provide us with a…

    After driving about 1.5 miles from home, my wife came to a set of lights and stepped on the brake to stop. The brake pedal went nearly to the floor and several dash lights came on including the brakes & anti-swerve. The vehicle slowed to a stop as she entered the intersection. Fortunately 2 things were in her favor, there was no one ahead of her and there was no cross traffic at the light. Either could have resulted…

I have documented the gas because the service tech said it…
