I was accelerating from a traffic light when all of a sudden i had no response from my gas pedal and my check engine light came on. I was able to coast until i could pull over out of the way of traffic. I turned the car off and back on. The check engine light turned off, so i thought maybe i'm okay. But, once i got up to speed again, the same thing happened. I was able to get my car back home by driving on back…

I was going to a friends house. My car would not accelerate. The wrench light came on. If i pressed on the gas pedal the tact would move up but the car wouldn't. It was shaking. It was towed to the dealership and the throttle body was changed. Apparently the throttle body is a defective part that needs to be recalled. The dealer said that the part was on back order. Then later that day he got 8 new throttle bodies…

We lost all acceleration while pulling out of the store parking lot. We turned off the car,started it up again and it did the same thing while turning left into our neighborhood. Luckily no traffic behind or oncoming while making these left turns. We got it to the dealer and they said it was the throttle body, not under warranty, not on recall, advised against driving our car, did not have a car for us to drive,…

While driving at 45mph the car jerked and lost thrust. The wrench light came on and i coasted as far as i could get. The engine did not seem to be running so i turned the key off and waited 20 seconds or so and attempted to start the vehicle. The car cranked many times but then started back up and was fine for the next 5 days. The first time this happened i brought the car to the ford dealer and was told that they…

This has happened about 10 times since last night. I am not unable to safely travel to work or any other…

While driving on a highway at about 45 mph the gas pedal stopped working. The car engine remained running but would not respond to the pedal.

After turning the engine off, the car was able to be restarted and ran ok for the rest of the trip to work. The car had the same failure on the way home from…

Driving down interstate at 70 miles per hour in far left lane when vehicle unexpectedly loses power. Accelerator pedal completely unresponsive, and engine speed drops to approximately 800 rpm. I had to quickly maneuver across two lanes, which were occupied by tractor trailers to get to right shoulder. Came extremely close to having a major accident during heavy traffic which would have certainly involved 15-20…

The car's throttle-body failed instantly, and without warning while it was being driven on a major secondary road. The failure resulted in a complete loss of power and required immediate emergency action to get off the two travel lanes (during rush-hour in northern virginia), and nearly resulting in an accident. I was only 1/4 mile from entering interstate 66, which did not have a safe shoulder during the time of…

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…

After a few stops and starts of the engine, was able to accelerate. At 3 more stops, the car stalled and required…

Driving at highway speeds or even at lower speed (can happen at any time), feel a shudder and have no throttle response. Very very dangerous when in traffic!!!!!! A wrench light illuminated on the dash. Only coasting, i was able to move the car to the side of the road and put it in park. Car had a very shaky idle, like it was about to stall. I turned off the ignition and waited for about 1 min, then started vehicle…

The car almost stalled once i got completely stopped. I turned the car off for about 30 seconds, and restarted it. It started up a little slow, but was quick to go back to normal. This was on tuesday morning. On friday afternoon…

Vehicle suddenly lost power and both the check engine and mechanic wrench light came on. I turned the vehicle off and back on and started to go again. If i tried to moderately accelerate my ford fusion would lose power again. When the vehicle would lose power it would begin to vibrate roughly when low idling. I use a code checker and pulled a p2111 code which states that the throttle body was stuck open. This…

This is a complaint for an issue that has an existing preliminary evaluation - nhtsa pe13003. I purchased a 2010 ford fusion sel in july 2010. It was purchased new. In may of 2013, while driving on city streets with my 3 year old daughter, my vehicle appeared to stall as i was turning at a traffic light. While the vehicle was still powered, my ability to control the vehicle or accelerate to speeds over 5 mph was…

From a standing stop i pressed the accelerator the car surged then bucked, surged then bucked. I was able to get the car out of heavy traffic. There was no warning and the "check engine" light illuminated as the problem occurred. Dealer told me part was back ordered until mid july as this is a chronic problem with the fusion with thousands of fusions sitting in dealer lots waiting for part. *tr
