My 18 year old son was getting ready to get on the freeway and the vehicle suddenly slowed to 30 mph. We took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body at our expense. This issue is so common that ford is having a hard time producing enough throttle bodies. The part is on national back order and this particular dealer had a car in the shop that had waited 1 month for this part. This is a serious…

While doing 50 mph on a highway, the car suddenly lost power. The motor was still running, but it was as if it was in idle. Depressing the accelerator did nothing. I pulled the car over to the shoulder and stopped. The idle was extremely rough. There was a 'wrench' indicator light. I turned the car off. As i restarted the car, it was very rough to start then after a few seconds, idle was normal. I drove without a…

I had just started and was exiting a retail establishment. I was driving down a slight incline approaching a stop light when the car started shaking and dramatically lost speed. The wrench light came on which according to the manual indicates a possible powertrain/transmission issue. I turned the car off and then restarted (in the middle of the road) and drove to a safe location. I was lucky that at the time i was…

Most recently, while i was driving my 2010 ford fusion around 25 mph, my car slowed down, but did not shut off, and i couldn't accelerate. My rpm's dropped and my wrench light came on, so i pulled over and shut the car off. After a few minutes, i turned the car back on and it appeared fine. This happened 2 times in one week. My understanding is that i need a new throttle body. This car is a brand new 2010 ford…

While traveling in the middle lane on i-77 at 65 mph, the car suddenly decelerated to a stop. The car was running but the car was unable to move. Fortunately a brave passerby pulled off onto the left median, stopped traffic in the left lane, directed me to put the car in neutral & pushed my car over the left lane and onto the left median. A state highway patrolman, coincidentally, came by and called a tow truck. He…

We were driving on a highway when the cruise control kicked off. I realized that the car had no power, so i went to the shoulder and the car was shuddering as i came to a stop. I turned the car off, checked to see if there was anything i could see wrong in the engine compartment, checked all fluids, etc. Got back in the car and it started right up. We went a little while longer and it happened again. All in all, it…

I was driving home doing about 50 mph, and all of a sudden the car lost power and i was unable to accelerate. The car started shaking violently and it finally stopped down to about 2-3 mph. I took it to the ford dealership and had to pay 824.00 to replace the throttle body. Ford never mentioned anything about this being a problem. I have seen numerous news stories about this very problem. *tr

I was driving down the interstate and i pushed the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate. This happened twice within 2 miles. I took the car to a local garage and they said it was the throttle body. I took the vehicle to my local ford dealership and paid for it to be fixed because the car was no longer under warranty. Hopefully if there is a recall, i can get reimbursed for my repair bill. *tr

We had to have the car towed back to van…

Pulled into a gas station, shut car off, restarted after about 30 seconds. Ran fine for about 5 minutes. Then proceeded to idle rough at the next three stoplights - this time not surging. Car eventually stalled and had to be restarted all 3 times. Seemed to…

After pulling onto the shoulder and stopping i was able to restart the car, but attempts to drive it would result in stalling at about 5mph. After about perhaps 50 feet. The car was subsequently towed to the dealership where the throttle-body was…

It has done this two us a couple of times while we wait for the part to come in. *tr

I attempted to resume the cruise control with no success, as the car continued to decelerate. I pushed on the accelerator in an attempt to regain speed, because a vehicle behind me almost struck me in the rear. I had to maneuver onto the shoulder and came to a stop, because the car would not accelerate. I…
