When trying to turn the steering wheel when starting from a stopped position, the power steering was not working and a service advance track warning came on. If i did not have the physical power to turn the wheel, i could have very easily have hit another vehicle. I took the car in for a car wash, and the power steering came back on about 5-10 miles down the road. It went out and back on intermittantly during the…

While driving down a highway, my low tire pressure light came on and i could tell it was very low due to my ability to steer. I pulled in a gas station and tried to fill the tire with air, but it was blown out on the inside wall and remained flat. I put the spare tire on and when i began to pull away, i realized i had no power steering. Warning lights came on in succession for low tire pressure (still?), service…

I was driving home from work last night and my car shut off. It shook violently and decelerated to a stop. I read online about the 13n09 consumer satisfaction program and since my car is exhibiting the same symptoms i decided to limp into the dealer. It appears that ford has decided to extend the warranty on these defective throttle body parts but for some reason my 2010 ford fusion with a faulty throttle body…

Check engine light first came on 2 weeks ago and car started pulling hard to the right side, while shaking bad! Today as i was driving to dealer doing 50mph my service power steering now and advance trac message came on. Lost complete steering while on highway with babies in car!

There were two events with the electronic throttle cutting off while driving, though, engine did not stall, requiring reset by turning off the ignition then restarting the car. At the time the throttle cutting off there was a yellow wrench indicator light light on my dash. This mimics nhtsa action number: pe13003, however, this action number does not include my vin number.

Took car in to tropical ford in orlando for driveability recall. They claimed to reprogram the pcm. Now on sept. 6 the car is losing power and stalling out. Also the wrench icon is showing on the dash which in the manual states the issue is the throttle control/transmission. I will have the car towed back to the dealer sept. 8 to have repaired. I suspect is etb connectivity problem, a lot of similar…

Ford has had a problem with their ac equipment since 2006. They have ignored this problem and have left to owner for repairs. The problem has nothing to do with the ac but with the temperature sensor evaporator. Which can either over heat or freeze up behind the dash. It cost most owner a high labor cost for the replacement of this defect that ford is aware of. Vehicles involve with this problem are not just the…

For several months the vehicle has been randomly shutting off mid-drive. Followed by that the check engine light and a wrench light would light up. A week ago we received letter in the mail from ford saying that our vehicle is eligible for new throttle body since there has been issues since manufactured, which perfectly explained our problem. We took it to ford, where they replaced the throttle body. However, only a…

It just would not move. I put my hazard lights on so the approaching cars could go around me. I then turned the car off and restarted it. It seemed to hesitate a bit but then started and i proceeded to go home. This was the scariest…
