I have just had this fixed 2 weeks ago for the same problem. January 24, 2013 my power steering and advance trac light came on again. I took it to the mechanics today and they tell me that the tires may need to be replaced and i have even done 60,000 miles on the tires-yet they are worn out already. I knew i needed tires, my inspection is due next month. I have only had this car for 3 years and i am already having…

While driving my 2010 ford fusion sel on a back wrong i lost pressure to the throttle. My car had lost all of its speed. Luckily i was able to pull over before a car could hit me. Even if i pushed the gas it would not budge. I believe this is the electronic throttle body causing the problem. This is not the first time it has happened. This the 4 time. I am a college student traveling every day to school and back.…

We were traveling on highway at 65 mph when suddenly lost power, car was shuttering and "wrench" light came on. Since we were going uphill at the time, we lost speed incredibly fast but managed to make it out of traffic lane and onto the shoulder. The car was turned off and then after a minute it restarted and ran ok but we're afraid that it isn't safe to drive until this problem is fixed. It would appear to be a…
