While driving my 2010 3.0 ford fusion on secondary roads, the car suddenly lost power. After 5 minutes, it could be restarted and driven but after approximately 30 seconds, it would lose power again and coast to a stop. It stranded my wife and daughter until towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed a bad throttle body, and charged approximately $700.00 to replace the part and perform a recommended fuel system…

Throttle body malfunctions while car is at speed. The "wrench" light appears on the display and then the car loses power and begins to shudder. Turning the car off and restarting it resets the display and starts fine. Problem is intermittent but dangerous as the car stops working while the car is going anywhere from 25 to 45 mph. *tr

A wrench indicator light appears on dash. Went to nearest gas station and attendant could not help much so we had no choice but to keep going. Started vehicle and it seemed fine this time and drove for several minutes then while riving on…

The wrench light came on and stayed on steady and the car suddenly lost all engine power. Headlights stayed still on and hazard lights worked. I tried starting the car but pressing the gas pedal produced no movement of the car nor any increase in engine sound. After trying to start it several times, it seemed like it started but not a normal start. The engine appeared to be very rough but again, no fast engine…

Driving 55-60 mph on freeway when car suddenly lost all power. It did not stall. It would jump ahead inches at a time if i pressed the accelerator but very dangerous situation as cars behind me had no warning that i was going to suddenly just stop. It took me 10 minutes at least to pull over to the side of the freeway and this only because a long haul trucker finally realized what was happening and blocked traffic…

I was traveling down the highway when my car stopped getting power when i pressed the gas. A yellow wrench warning dash light came on, the car started shaking and had no power when trying to accelerate to get over a lane to get off the road to avoid an accident. I luckily got over with my hazard lights on and coasted to the shoulder where the car finally stopped but did not shut off or die. The car idled and…

I was slowing to a stop when my car shuddered and the engine seemed to die. I had a error symbol for the transmission and the engine had no more power. It was stuck in idle now even though i was just doing 35 miles per hour coming to a stop. As i finally braked to a stop the engine was surging, but when i pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened to the engine, it was as if it was just turned on and placed in drive…

On way home from work, driving for 30 miles, going 50 mph, upon changing lanes, the acceleration died. Wrench light came on. I was able to pull over on the highway. Thankfully, just got through the eight miles of construction with no shoulder and only one lane. If it happened then, i could have caused an accident or at least angered quite a few people on their way home from work by stopping traffic with no way to…

Once stopped and placed in park, the car idled very rough. Then turned off the car. When re-starting the car it started poorly, but once started the wrench light was off. The car then drove normally. This happened 3x that day. I am lucky i did not…

Read in paper that you were looking at ford throttle body. I was in fast lane on i-66 on a friday afternoon. Suddenly car stopped. I was lucky there was room on left apron to pull off. Car restarted when i tried--went 1000 feet and stopped again; now in right lane and pulled off. Knew there was an off ramp 1/4 mile ahead and limped on apron with cars passing. The entire situation was very dangerous in my estimation.…

The transmission has been jerking since we bought it i believe in 2012. It jerks at 25 to 35 (est...) and not all the time. It also does it when you put it into drive coming out of reverse. I have nerves problems and i feel it more than most people. My husband it healthy and he is now seeing what i have been talking about. It is doing it pretty frequently now. Its april 2014. Going to the owners manual we found out…

We were traveling on busy i-80 at approximately 70 m.p.h. Due to busy vehicular traffic on the interstate hi-way, i was not using the cruise-control. When we experienced the incident, i had pressed on the gas pedal to maintain speed on an uphill section. On the uphill section, i noticed the vehicle did not accelerate and the instrument panel warning lights started flashing. Even with heavy traffic, i was able to…

I was on the freeway when engine speed suddenly went to idle. I was in the middle lane and almost got into a crash trying to get to the road side. When i brought the car to the ford dealer they said the throttle body was bad and it cost me $500.00 they said it was not covered under the power train warranty,go figure. Also the transmission does not down shift properly after heavy acceleration,they said it was normal.…

I had to pull over and restart the car. This happened again, the next day. The car also began to shake prior to turning the car off. I have read hundreds, if not more, complaints regarding this same issue. My car is currently at a local ford dealership,…

While driving my car on the expressway the wrench light turned on followed by the check engine light. The car started reducing speed even though i was pressing the gas. I pulled over to the side and the car started shaking. I had an obd ii machine in my car at the time and ran a diagnostic. Check engine code p2111 came up. After researching the code it says it has to do with the throttle body. I also noticed that…
