My car's engine cut off at 70 mph going down the interstate. Luckily no one was harmed as i was able to drift with my flashers to the side of the road. I called my local ford dealership, and they stated this was a common problem in the fusions. My car has cut off several times while driving around town also. It's extremely scary and dangerous to have no acceleration in 65 mph traffic. *tr

Fusion cut power because of a faulty throttle body at around 45 mph. This returned a code p2112 and p2111 on my code reader. Once put into the shop, the ford dealer told me it may be weeks or months before a part is available and i am currently without a vehicle. My warranty only covered for 3 days for rental so now i do not have a car. Very frustrating. *tr

Going over 50 miles an hour car cut off on highway likely did not get killed by the car behind me. Turned off then it restarted. Now does it all the time. I took it to the dealer and they are saying it is a throttle body and i do have an extended warranty but they will not cover this. No one has this part shortage. *tr
