While driving, the vehicle will stall, the orange wrench comes on on the dash board. The car will remain running while idling roughly. After restarting the car a few times it will start and appear fine with no symptoms and no check engine lights on. However, the car will do the exact same thing randomly, it might be the next day or an hour from then. I checked the code while the orange wrench light was on and got a…

I was affected by the throttle body thing. I got it fixed at jim click ford in tucson. I've been experiencing heavy acceleration and throttle response problems since. I had my trams fluid leak from the cap. No leaks in any of my hoses. My rpms stay between 1700-2700 regardless of what speed i'm going. I took it back to jim click, even tho showing no errors. And it's always whining, my engine. I don't know what's…

While driving, the car will suddenly lose all acceleration and the maintenance wrench light will come on. This has happened while accelerating from a stop, and while going 60 mph down the highway. The only way to reset it is to restart the car. If the car is not restarted, it will shake vigorously as if it is going to stall on its own. Once restarted, acceleration is restored to normal until it does the same thing…

I was driving my car, and with no warning the orange wrench appears and loss of acceleration occurs. Had to pull over and restart the car. This happened 3 times today and could have potentially caused an accident each time. There is apparently a throttle recall, but does not include my 2010 ford fusion. Not sure what i need to do.

The night we bought this car, used from a ford dealer, it wouldn't go in reverse without jumping/bucking. They were swift to give us a loaner while they "reprogramemd" the car. Now, it all makes sense. They put a bandaid on it until we couldn't return it. Since then, just over 2yrs ago, we have had throttle replaced x3, cleaned once for $250 (while on the way south for vaca, we got stuck hundreds of miles from hm…

Driving down the high way and my car lost all accelerating capability and almost caused a serious accident. My car was previously taken in three months ago because it was stalling but i was told by ford without any check engine light they couldn't do anything. I even did some online research before i went to ford and suggested the throttle body position sensor and they said it wouldn't cause my car to do that.

Car had sudden deceleration, loss of power, waited about 30 seconds and tried to restart. Car restarted and parked due to safety concerns. Did some research to find that nhtsb is failing to issue recall but ford has voluntarily agreed to fix and extend warranty. The dealer is playing dumb about it being throttle body issue even though it is supposed to be fixed free under ford csp# 13n03 and had the exact symptoms…
