I was driving at 70 mph on the highway when all of a sudden my vehicle essentially stalled. The engine still appeared to be running (minimal rpms), but i couldn't accelerate, so the slowdown to a crawl was rather dramatic. I was absolutely lucky i was not injured as i was nearly clipped by an 18-wheeler as i attempted to pull to the side of the highway. The wrench-shaped light came on, which i had never seen before.…

While i was driving, the car would loose power. It would not die but would not have any acceleration. When i pulled off the road the idle would get very rough. I shut the car off and started it back up, then it would operate properly for awhile. Then it would do the same thing at different times and different speeds. *tr

I was on the highway driving and noticed that my engine light came on as well as a golden wrench. Suddenly, i noticed that the car began to slow down and as i pressed the gas, the car would not speed up. I was on a 4 lane highway and so happen to be in the far left lane during afternoon traffic. It was a very scary moment. I finally was able to get to the emergency lane without causing or getting in an accident.…

On freeway going 65mph with cruise control in pause mode. When i tried to accelerate i heard a noise, the wrench light went on & i lost all power although the motor continued to idle at very low rpm. After being towed, the car started right up and seemed fine. Took it to ford and they found no codes coming up. 3 weeks later the exact same thing happened. Ford again said no codes. I read all of the reports about the…

I have a 2010 fusion that has acted up previously but quit and now its doing it consistently. The car throws a light that's a wrench spits sputters and will not receive any fuel no matter how much you press the throttle. I am a ford lover and bought this car for my fiance for a reliable transportation and now im really worried that this vehicle is going to cause her to get into an accident. It pretty much shuts down…

As i was driving down the road, my vehicle "stalled" ('limp" home mode) for no reason, the transmission/throttle control indicator light appeared on the instrument panel. I safely pulled the car over, as i slowed down the vehicle began to "jerk". The only way i was able to stop this was by putting the car in park and shutting off the engine. This happened after i had been on the road for about 15-20 min. I pulled…

I'm completely unable to accelerate and all i can do is coast to a stop on the shoulder of the (very busy) highway. After shutting the…

I had been driving on a surface street for about 1 mile after coming off a highway. The car had come to a stop at least twice at traffic lights. I was coasting (foot not on brake or accelerator) when the car accelerated on its own from ~30 mph as if the cruise control (cc) had been activated. I touched the brake as quickly as possible (probably < 1sec of acceleration) and conditions returned to normal. Looking at…

I was pulling my 2010 ford fusion hybrid into a parking space at about 3 mph and the car suddenly surged forward. To avoid impact into the car in front of me, i turned the car into a parking block next to my parking space. As i did this, i jammed on the brake, put it in park and turned it off. Damage to front bumper and casing in front of tire from hitting the parking block. Drove to dealership with no problems.…

As i was driving down the road my car stopped accelerating, started spitting and sputtering (felt like it had ran out of gas) and displayed the wrench light on the dash. I cut the vehicle off and started it back up and had no further issues for quite a long time. Almost a year later (june of 2013) the vehicle did the exact same thing. This time cutting it off and back on again did not fix the issue. My car wont even…

I was driving down the highway when i noticed that i could no longer accelerate. I coasted to a stop, the car shaking as it came to a stop. I placed the car in park, turned the car off, and restarted. It started up fine, and then it happened again about 10 minutes later. After a mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem, i thought it was perhaps "bad gas" and moved on. Two weeks later, it happened twice, once…

I didn't think much of it at the time but it seems to do it…
