I purchased a used 2010 ford fusion with 59674 miles on 4/4/13. On the drive home i experienced a lurching occasionally when accelerating from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gears. (it is an automatic transmission.) there were no warning lights lit. The lurching continued to get worse. It bucked and idled rough. It died sometimes (mostly while idling), leaving me blocking traffic, till i could put it in neutral and…

After driving for ~20 minutes and the engine warming up, the engine will surge when coming to a complete stop after braking. There is also a smell of gas. Immediately after refueling, the engine is difficult to start. Once started it runs rough for a few seconds and wants to lurch away. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that while accelerating from a light, the vehicle would accelerate beyond 2 mph. The contact felt the vehicle was not getting the proper flow of gasoline to the engine. The first time the failure occurred, the dealer rewired the engine but the repair did not correct the failure. The contact had not taken the vehicle back to the dealer to be diagnosed or…

***throttle body**** during several times of driving at low speeds, i accelerated and the rpm on the car jumped suddenly and stuck at a high position for several seconds in which the car slowed to a stop. The "wrench" light then came on and after turning the car off and on i was able to maintain use of it. This is happening frequently. *tr

Throttle body! I have been having issues for a while now. Started with the check fuel inlet cap light coming on. Fyi, i have not fuel cap for this car. Had it checked, thought it was a sensor problem. Then the check engine light came one. Then the issues started taking place. Had a few incidents where i would be going down the interstate at 70 miles per hour and the wrench light would come on in the car and it would…

I had come to a stop light and was turning right when the car went into limp mode. Second time about two weeks later i was turning onto a entrance ramp to an interstate and was accelerating when it went into limp mode. It happened again two weeks later. About three weeks ago i was idling when the car totally cut off. I restarted it drove 5 miles and it went into limp mode when i was pulling into a parking lot.…

Traded in our ford freestyle to purchase used 2010 fusion vehicle in september 2013 with 53,000 miles and a 30-day warranty. This was our third ford vehicle and we've enjoyed dependability, comfort and safe driving with our previous fords, so we saw no need in purchasing a warranty. One month later, we were struck by hurricane sandy. Our honda crv-06 parked along side the fusion was nearly totaled by a downed tree…

Date and mileage of incident are guesses. Has happened on multiple occasions. When driving vehicle on highway or local roads, engine stalls as if it had no power, however, the tachometer indicates engine still running. Each time this occurs, vehicle has to be steered on to shoulder. When pulling onto shoulder, it vibrates tremendously. After it stops, you must put it into park, then restart the engine. Brought…

The vehicle stalled/lost power, while making a turn at 15-20 mph. I took it to dealership to have it checked. I was told that they couldn't find a problem. It happened a second time while trying to merge into a highway at about 40 mph. I called for a tow truck. While waiting i tried to start it after 15/20 minutes. It started, but waited for tow truck since i was afraid to get on the road. It was looked at again at…

The bus had to come…

My wife was driving with my niece at approximately 45 mph, when the vehicle lost power and started to spit and sputter, then the "wrench" light illuminated as well as the check engine light. Luckily she was able to pull off the road with no harm or damage, when i checked for a dtc it pointed to the throttle body, $200 dollars for the part, ford should have replaced this for me, especially since there is a tsb for…

While i was driving, the car would loose power. It would not die but would not have any acceleration. When i pulled off the road the idle would get very rough. I shut the car off and started it back up, then it would operate properly for awhile. Then it would do the same thing at different times and different speeds. *tr

I was driving on the highway at normal speed when the car acted as if it was not getting fuel connection. The car then started a jerking motion and i had to steer it off the road in order to get it out of the way of on moving traffic. I had to put the car in park and start it back up. This has happened several times since the first incident. *tr

At highway speed, there was a controlled loss of power to the engine. Upon shutting down and restarting, the problem cleared but recurred. The vehicle was serviced and the electronic throttle body was replaced. *jb

I was driving on the highway, and all of a sudden, my car slow down quickly and a light came on that looked like a wrench. I had to pull over quickly and try to restart the car, it restarted and i was on my way. This happened several other times and eventually, the vehicle would start, but wouldn't move. Took the vehicle to the dealership, to be told i needed a new throttle body on a vehicle that was two years old.…

Driving in heavy traffic the car lost power going up a hill, as if the gas pedal had been disconnected. Luckily i was able to avoid being hit and pulled out of the way. After a few minutes the car did start again but the shifting is strange and it dies a lot. I called ford dealership and they stated it was probably the throttle body as they had been replacing them left and right. This would not be covered by any…

While driving on the interstate, the wrench light came on and the car became unresponsive to acceleration. I had to turn on the hazards and coast to the shoulder. The car was able to be restarted and drove fine for another 30 minutes before the same thing happened again. 2 days later the same thing happened on the interstate again, requiring me to coast to the shoulder of the road! Today it happened while i was only…

I was sitting at a red light when the light turned green and i put on the gas the car jumped. The engine light came on. I pulled over to the side of the road. The car had no acceleration but still had power. I turned off the vehicle and turned it back on. The car started back up and the light went off. I took the car to a auto repair shop. The diagnostic test stated it is the throttle body going bad. The mechanic…

I am guessing at the "component selection" above. I was driving 30 mph in a neighborhood; car pitched or lunged forward; wrench light came on panel; rpm's dropped; car slowed down and pressing gas pedal did no good; car was still running; car coasted to a stop. Waited for help to come. Restarted car, it went about 1/2 mile and did the same thing; took to dealership. They checked it out and could not replicate the…

I was driving down the highway at 70 mph when my car shut off i was almost hit by another car then a semi truck because i didn't know what had happened. My car had no throttle response. After having my car looked at it, it was diagnosed to have a bad throttle body. So i did some research and its a common thong with 2010 ford fusions, but for some reason ford won't either find a way to figure out why they seem to…

I was driving my 2010 ford fusion through rush hour accident traffic. My car began to idle rough and lost power while on a bridge. I was unable to accelerate. I coasted off the bridge and to the emergency lane. I restarted my car and everything seemed okay. I got back into accident traffic. My fusion again began to idle rough. The rpm jumped, my car jerked forwarded and lost power again. I had my car towed to the…

We bought our 2010 ford fusion used and the day we purchased the car we had a problem. The check engine light was on and when we asked the dealership we were told it was because they had just changed the oil and needed to reset the computer. We noticed that when we stopped the car would jump forward and stall. We called the dealership and were told to bring the car back and they would fix it and provide us with a…

The vehicle lost power, the gas pedal had no effect, and it would surge forward by itself. Created a very scary and unsafe situation for my wife. I went to the gas station where she had managed to get pulled into and shut it off, i looked it over and restarted it. It seemed to have power and throttle response, so i attempted to drive it on home since it was within a mile. It again failed on me within 100 yards but i…

When i was driving my 2010 ford fusion the wrench light came on and the car lost all power and stalled out. Luckily i wasn't in front of a truck or on the freeway. Very scary my car only has 15391 miles on it. This car was also leaking oil. I am not happy with this car. When i took it to the dealer this problem didn't show up at first so the service person kept the car longer and finally it did the same thing and…

This has happened a number of times since it started a few months ago, but soon after starting and driving down the road, the fusion suddenly loses power, the wrench light comes on the dash, and the idle is very rough. There is no acceleration possible. We have to coast to a stop, turn off the engine, then restart the car. This seems to reset the problem and things get back to normal. We've had the dealer look at it…
