The steering wheel starting shaking as the car lost power and eventually completely stalled. After several minutes it started but we didn't even get a mile further before the same thing happened again. As this was happening the check engine light came on and a little wrench lamp lit up on the instrument panel. After about 20 minutes we were able to start the car again and drive it to a ford dealership several miles…

While i was driving, my ford fusion lost most of it's power. I was told it was due to a broken throttle body (part). It sounds like it will take 3 weeks to get the part. I'm not sure why it is taking so long, especially since most people here are complaining about the same part. *tr

I restarted the car and was able to get to my workplace. Based upon my preliminary research, this…

I at least had enough momentum to go about 100 feet to where there was a shoulder that they were not doing construction on. I ended up shutting my car off and waiting a few seconds. I then turned my…
