Also another issue i've seen multiple reports on. I bought extended…

My wife was driving home from work yesterday evening at highway speed (65mph) when the car stalled and wrench icon came on. 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…

I was driving on the interstate with the cruise on when the wrench light lit up and the car started to slow. It did not respond to the gas pedal. I pulled over, restarted the car, and all was fine until 10 miles later when the check engine light went on, but the car continued to drive. I pulled off and drove home. The next day, the check engine light turned on when i started the car, but turned off a few minutes…

I drove it a week and the exact same thing happened. We brought it to a ford dealer who had no idea what the problem was. The diagnostics showed no recordings. They performed some maintenance and now i see on my bill a statement…

After coming to a stop at a red light, we tried to accelerate, when the wrench light came on and the car lost power, but did not shut off. We could not accelerate, rpms dropped and, luckily we coasted to a safe stop. I put it park and turned it off. After a minute or two, started it up again, the wrench light was off. We went a couple of miles and it did it again. We decided it was unsafe so we brought it home. *tr

I was pulling out of my work parking lot, going less than 10mph, and i lost all acceleration in my car. I was able to pull to the curb, put it in park, shut it off, then restart. It started hard, and immediately had the "wrench" icon on. Again, i had no acceleration. I decided to try one more time to try to drive it to the dealership i bought the car from (less than 15 miles from my work). It started once more, a…

While traveling down the road, doesn't matter what speed/accelerating/decelerating, the wrench light will come on and i will lose all throttle control. I have to pull to the side of the road and when i do the vehicle shakes viciously. Turn the car off, then back on and it starts with a sluggish start. The…

Fuel cap codes, emission control codes and throttle actuator control code are now on all the time. I had taken it back to ford, but light had went out at the time. I was told that the codes do not log in ecm. I was told they could hook up equipment, there would be no codes and the cost $90.00. I left. On a short trip this weekend we had problems with all codes staying on and new one for throttle when cruise would…

I was driving down the road at 45 mph and the engine stalled. It was very dangerous but i did not get into an accident. I waited a few minutes and started the car back up and it worked fine for about two miles and did the same thing again. I found out through ford that it was the throttle body and even the dealership admitted it was becoming a big problem. The part is back ordered for a month and it was not covered…

Driving home from work going about 60 mph and the wrench light came on unexpectedly and my car stopped taking any gas. The throttle stopped working completely and i just barely made it to the shoulder before my car stopped completely on a busy highway. Was towed to the dealership where no one was there to look at it because it was about 6pm. Went back the next day and was told it's the throttle body and it would be…

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.…

Vehicle had no throttle response, and had to coast to a stop. Incident happened many times prior to the date shown, but did not have specific date and mileage. In conducting web research, the problem is endemic with many ford production years and models, and ford has thus far refused to issue a recall, or to provide any out-of-warranty relief. According to my research, the part involved is a "throttle body," and…
