Poor workmanship on this year of vehicle. Car of the year? What a…

We were stopped in heavy traffic in orlando 800 miles from home. The car would not accelerate so we limped into a gas station. A tow truck operator was at the gas station as well as a mechanic. They both said it is a very common ford throttle control failure. Ford quoted us $1000 to fix the problem but a mechanic fixed it for $450. Initially, he cleaned the throttle control and changed the spark plugs. It drove fine…

Went to pull onto interstate and when tried to accelerate the vehicle wouldn't speed up. Also the engine rpm's would accelerate and cause hard shifts which has progressively gotten worse, the vehicle doesn't want to start when the fuel level gets low enough to turn the low fuel light on either. All of the above problems have gotten worse over the past month. *tr

I was driving at approximately 45 mph, when suddenly the car started to violently shake and decelerated to 10 mph. The "check engine" and wrench icon lights came on. I referred to my owner's manual, which directed me to take my car to the dealership. I drove slowly for 4 miles to the nearest ford dealership. They informed me that the issue was with the "throttle body" and said that is would need to be replaced at a…

While on the interstate going 70 mph i felt a loss of power in my fusion followed by a wrench light coming on. I was no longer able to accelerate and fortunately was on a stretch of the highway with a shoulder. After shutting off the car and restarting i was able to drive home. I had purchased an extended warranty and took it to have it looked at but since no lights were on no codes registered and i was told it was…

I noticed several times that the car tends to shift hard (automatic transmission). Now i've had a problem with the transmission light coming on, the car stalling, and starts shimmying and shaking. Had it back to the dealer on monday and they said they fixed it. However, this morning, i had the same incident occur. It is now back at the dealer to have it checked and hopefully fixed without any cost to me. I will be…

Merged on the highway heading to work. At approx 60 mph, or highway speed the car decelerated quickly and rpms dropped below 1,000. After a more pressure was applied to the accelerator, the car jerked then accelerated back to normal speed. Once pressure was released the car's rpm dropped below 1,000 and started to decelerate quickly. All of this occurred during rush hour traffic. A friend of mine had the same issue…

I was stopped at a traffic light and when the light became green i proceeded to turn right through the intersection. After driving about 25 yards the car lost almost all power and the engine began to vibrate. The car moved forward in a jerking manner with little power (10%). All the dashboard indicator lights came on and then went off except for the wrench light which stayed on. I shut the engine off and waited…

Backed out of a parking spot and proceeded forward. Suddenly the car began to sputter and idle really badly. The wrench light came on and so did the check engine light. Turned off the car and waited a few moment. After a minute or two, i turned the car back on and it was working fine for about 2 miles. Then started to sputter again. Wash, rinse, repeat the same above until i got home. After researching, found that…

Traveling at speed in heavy traffic, the car shook and i lost all power. I was able to make it to the side of the road although several people had to swerve around me as i was going uphill and lost speed quickly. The "wrench" warning light was on. While the car would idle, nothing would happen when i pressed the accelerator. I shut off the car and was able to restart it. Everything seemed fine and no warning light.…

Driving along the interstate in my 2010 ford fusion se, it suddenly lost power with no acceleration, leaving my wife and i in a horrible position as we tried desperately to get to the side of the road without causing an incident. The issue was a faulty throttle body. In reading online, i see this is a very common issue with this vehicle. Ford really needs to issue a recall in the vehicle. Someone will get injured or…

Was pulling out of my road which is in a bad curve, so you need acceleration. The car lost all power, and was stuttering. Wrench light on and still running just a bad stuttering. Car barely misses me in the curve because i don't have enough momentum to get out of the road. I cut the car off and restart it, and it acted like it did not want to start but finally did. Thank god. Drove it back in our road and parked it.…

This is the second time this is happening on my sons car. It happened five times today while driving home from his university for christmas break. Each time it happens, the "wrench light" appears and then the car loses power. He had to pullover on the hwy each time and restart the car to get it to reset. This is very dangerous and it's happening to many ford fusions as i've been investigating this online. My son is…
