The throttle body on my 2010 ford fusion se failed. My car lost power and stalled out four times while driving in traffic. I have replaced the part and would certainly like to see ford recall this part. *tr

As i was driving through an intersection taking a left hand turn, my car slowed down and was no longer responsive to my pushing the gas pedal. I had to roll through the intersection to safety and fortunately on coming traffic was far enough away that i was not hit. I had to turn off my car and turn it back on to fix the issue. I could have been seriously injured. My research showed me that many others are suffering…

While driving down the road, the car will suddenly jerk and the check engine (wrench) light will come on and i will immediately lose all ability to accelerate. After pulling the car over and putting the car in park, the car begins to shake until i turn off the car. When i turn the car back on, it takes a minute to turn over and then drives fine until it happens again.

The car stalled in the middle of airport traffic. The wrench light came on and the check engine light. It occurred again on the fl turnpike traveling at 75 mph. We no longer drive on the highways and it has happened 3 more times. Research says it is the throttle position sensor, and the only fix is to replace the throttle body. *tr

My car suddenly lost power and turned off 3 times in the past week. The first time at about 9pm i was driving on the freeway when my car suddenly shut off going at about 65 mph. It was scary as the car seemed to jerk and swerve before shutting off. I had to cruise off to the right but with traffic blowing by so fast and my car dropping speed super fast i almost got into a car accident. I was able to turn the car…

Ongoing issue with acceleration developed into a malfunction in the throttle body. I had noticed intermittent stutters during acceleration and deceleration. This time, the car lost power to accelerate, vibrated violently, and forced me to pull over for fear of causing an accident. Now it is recurring and although the code erases and it seems to be fine, it will suddenly fail to operate properly and cause me to cut…

My 18 year old son was getting ready to get on the freeway and the vehicle suddenly slowed to 30 mph. We took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body at our expense. This issue is so common that ford is having a hard time producing enough throttle bodies. The part is on national back order and this particular dealer had a car in the shop that had waited 1 month for this part. This is a serious…
