I was driving down highway at 65mph when the engine jerked and car stopped accelerating. Luckily there was no one to the right of me so i was able to pull over. Once on the side of the road, the car started to jerk violently even while in park. I had it towed to a ford dealership and was told the throttle body assembly was defective. I could have died! *tr

The car's throttle-body failed instantly, and without warning while it was being driven on a major secondary road. The failure resulted in a complete loss of power and required immediate emergency action to get off the two travel lanes (during rush-hour in northern virginia), and nearly resulting in an accident. I was only 1/4 mile from entering interstate 66, which did not have a safe shoulder during the time of…

While driving the vehicle would lose all power and would not respond to the acceleration pedal. It would require pulling to the side of the road and shutting the engine off for 3-5 minutes before being able to continue. This happened 7-10 times in the same day. The "check engine" light finally came on and stayed on. We took it into the nearest auto parts store who ran it through the computer and it was the "throttle…

Throttle body is apparently defected...when i try to accelerate the car shuts off and you lose throttle. You have to stop and restart the car to regain any speed. This happened 8 times in a 3 mile area. Taken to have the problem looked at and was given codes p2112, p2111, po685. Apparently on line this is a real issue with ford fusions and the part is on back order with ford dealerships. This is a real safety hazard…
