Vehicle stalled out at an intersection, check engine light and other dash indicators came on. Roadside assistance was contacted and the vehicle towed to our local dealership. Dealership advised this morning that the necessary part, an electronic throttle body, is on back-order nationwide and did not expect to have the part available for installation until the week of 7/8 at the earliest and that it was not covered…

I was driving on a residential street and got a flat tire. At the same time i received an error about the power steering and to service the advancetrac system. I thought everything was related to the flat tire. I got the tire replaced and the tire pressure error cleared but i still have no power steering. Iwas told that the two issues were not related and that the power steering is completely separate. I see many…

I was driving in heavy city traffic at approximately 55 miles per hour, when the car suddenly lost all power. The engine felt "disconnected" from the transmission. I could push the gas pedal all i wanted, but there was no response from the engine. The car continued to roll under it's own momentum, but because of the sudden loss of power, i was very nearly rear-ended by the car behind me. I was in the left lane, and…

Like many others, i'm experiencing increasingly frequent acceleration failures (no acceleration with visual cue as well as acceleration surges) consistent with (and identified by dealer as) a malfunctioning etb. Additionally, it seems that the throttle body may be affected by both proximity and stress sensors, as the failures (and generally fairly dramatic drops in speed) tend to occur most frequently at high speeds…

Could not accelerate but thankfully able to coast across two lanes on a busy highway at rush hour to get to shoulder! Car was jerking as it came to a stop. Turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, turned engine back on and car was ok again. Unfortunately this wasn't the first time; there…

My 2010 ford fusion sel was in the ford service department for two weeks for stalling on me on a major highway recently. I felt the car suddenly lose power and was able to limp over to the shoulder with tractor trailers and early morning traffic whizzing past. I turned off the ignition, waited a few minutes, and started the car up again. I drove it the rest of the way to work & called the service department & was…

My ford fusion displayed a wrench icon on the dash and lost power on the garden state parkway. There was no shoulder for me to pull over to, and i had to coast until there was a patch of dirt to pull into. Terrifying to say the least. Took it to our local ford dealership (where it is now), and we were told there is a backorder of 6800 throttle bodies, meaning we would have to rent a vehicle until ours was repaired.…

I was on the freeway when the 2010 ford fusion lost power, began to shudder and the wrench light illuminated on the instrument cluster. Luckily i was able to get to the side of the road before the vehicle died. I had the vehicle towed to a ford dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a bad throttle body. After doing some very basic research on the internet i found that this is a huge problem and it isn't be covered…

This situation first came to my attention about 2 months ago pulling out of my driveway. The car stalled and was unable to press the gas and then sputtered out and shook violently with the check wrench showing. I turned the car off and then started the car and drove off. I was very concerned when this happened and called the ford dealership, they stated that it is most likely a throttle body or maybe it was just a…

Just purchased the vehicle used on april 15, 2013. I haven't even made the first payment. I get off work at 11:15 p.m. And go to get in the car and it won't start. Thank goodness for some co-workers that were hanging out. They try to jump it but it wasn't the battery. I am a single mom with no family around and i was extremely stressed at that point. They messed with it for a bit and it happened to be the solenoid…

The driver's side door would not unlock from the outside. I would have to enter the car and climb over to the driver's side to unlock the car. It was an intermittent problem at first and then the latch broke and i had to take my car in for repair. The first repair was under warranty, but the door latch started acting up again. It would not unlock again, intermittently. Then about two weeks ago, the driver's side…

I was driving my 2010 ford fusion on the interstate, at approximately 70 miles per hour, when i started feeling it "surge". It was in cruise control at the time, and it felt like it was surging up a couple of mph over the set point, and then falling back a couple of mph below the set point. It was like the cruise was hunting for the set speed. Suddenly, there was a lurch and i lost all power from the engine. Cruise…
