I was driving on the highway when my car starting losing power. The little wrench light and check engine light came on. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and shut off the car. I restarted the car, but turned off the air conditioning. After driving another 7-8 miles, i turned on the air conditioning and the same thing happened. When i restarted the car, i turned off the air and it drove fine. I took it…

Car lost power while driving at 45 mph, after about 10 minutes of driving. It would not respond to accelerator pedal and the wrench light went on. I pulled off to side of road; car restarted after 2-3 tries; drove without incident for next 1500 miles. Since then has stalled three times, usually within a few minutes of initial start driving at 30-40 mph. Each time, restarts with one or two tries and runs ok, but…

This has happened twice. When i reach speeds around 45 and above, the car seems to stall and the throttle cuts out, leaving me without a way to accelerate. I have had to pull over on the side of busy highways, let my car rest for a little bit then start it back up. It seems reluctant to start. Took it to local ford dealership and they concluded it was the throttle body and i would need it replaced. Googled ford…

Driving down a six lane highway at 50 mph, car suddenly shuts down, barely idling. Was fortunate enough to get over to the side of the road where the car stalled. Was towed to a shop where the problem was misdiagnosed as a bad battery. New battery put in and same problem happened 36 hours later. Computer was checked this time and was giving a p2111 error code which is a stuck throttle body sensor. Could have been a…

When traveling down the road in typical conditions the power could cut out on the engine. Electrical power would still be on but no power would go to the engine forcing me to pull off the road and restart. This has happened several times and caused a minor bump with a traffic barrel. Ford lists this as service notice when it should be a recall, i could have been killed had i not had enough room to avoid the semi…

Throttle body shorted battery and caused engine to stall in traffic. When trying to restart, engine sped up fast became very dangerous. Ford has these throttle bodys on back order... That's sad. Pls recall asap before someone loses their life. *tr

This has happened several times over the last few months and happened 3 times on 7/24/13 - i am in traffic on busy highway and the car just stalls. Luckily i was able to pull over all 3 times turned it off and restarted. Had i been doing the speed limit of 60 i for sure would have been involved in an accident with as much traffic that is on the 10. This is a very serious problem and ford needs to address before…

Just adding to the list. Twice in the past two weeks my husband has experienced the same issue as everyone else posting a safety complaint about their 2010 ford fusion. He found himself not able to accelerate while driving on the highway. The first time he brought the car into a ford dealership. They found no issue, and apparently are not aware of the overall issue. This morning (after the second occurrence) he…

My daughter owns a ford fusion 2010 and has had multiple incidences of throttle body failure. We have taken it to the dealer, who diagnosed it and ordered the part. The part is back ordered due to so many failures on several types of ford cars and trucks. A little research on the part of the nhtsa would show it is past time this part should have been recalled!!! Losing acceleration in the middle of pulling into…

I was driving to work yesterday morning and almost got rear ended by a semi when my car lost power. After work i took my car to the mechanic and he verified that there is an issue with the throttle body. After finding this out i did some research online and found that this appears to be a very common problem. I have read countless pages of complaints on this particular problem happening to other people. Without a…

While driving the gas pedal begins to shake and then the car shuts off completely. Have read several reviews/complaints about it being the throttle body, and that's what it is. $800, and warranty is expired, but brought the car in previously to ford with the same issues, they couldn't find any problems then. Don't feel i should pay for a mistake made by ford. *tr
