Started to accelerate after being stopped at a stop light when the car made a loud noise, shuddered, and then lost all power and would not accelerate no matter how hard the gas was pressed causing me to be stuck in the middle of the intersection.

Going over 50 miles an hour car cut off on highway likely did not get killed by the car behind me. Turned off then it restarted. Now does it all the time. I took it to the dealer and they are saying it is a throttle body and i do have an extended warranty but they will not cover this. No one has this part shortage. *tr

I was accelerating after going through a traffic light and the car was not responsive to the acceleration. I looked down at instrument panel and noticed that the throttle controller/transmission light was lit up. I stepped on the gas more but the car just slowed down to the point where i had to move to the side of the road. I put the car in park, put the emergency flashers on and shut it off. When i turned the car…

I have already filed a complaint about this issue - previous odi # 10499938. The car is in a forward motion when it all of a sudden loses all power when pressing on the gas pedal. It jerks, shimmies etc. And moves forward by inches or not at all. Previously this has happened and i took the car to a dealer who put a "recorder" on it, and over 2-3 weeks went by and it never did it again. This was in late 2012, early…

Was on the interstate, wrench light came on, car lost power and began jerking. I could not accelerate. In the past 2 months, my original throttle body went bad, number 2 was bad, and number 3 was bad. Now i am on throttle body number 4, which i bought new from a dealership in california. It took days to find it, as new throttle bodies are on a national back order. I wonder why? *tr

When the traffic cleared i was able to…

My car started to stall and went into limp home mode. It immediately went to 1000 rpms and lost all power. The engine light came on. I had to go across all lanes of traffic on a busy highway and almost got hit. A commonly known problem with the throttle body is the most likely cause. *tr

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…

I purchased a 2010 ford fusion 2 years ago and i have been happy with it up until just recently. The other morning i was on my way to the gym and the car lost total power, sputtered then just died. It started up right away and i was able to make it back home. Needless to say, it had to go to the dealer and the problem has been diagnosed as a throttle body problem. Apparently this has been very common in this year of…

We were traveling at about 30 mph on a moderately busy street. All of a sudden our car lost powder. It would barely move. Luckily we were not on a busy freeway or we would have been hit by on coming cars. We were able to go chug, a chug over to a nearby parking lot. We turned off the ignition and tried to decided what we should do. My husband started the car again and it seemed to be working. We managed to get home.…
