On take off in heavy traffic the transmission slipped and jerked hard. I was frightened and pulled over for about 20 minutes to call my dad whom is a mechanic. He stated that it was the transmission and that i should drive it home which was a hour away. I was scared that it would do it again at full speed. 2 days later as i tried to reverse out of my driveway the car revved up but didn't move then jerked into gear…

On june 19, 2012, driving at approximately 40 mph, the car does not respond to pressing gas pedal, and it slows to a stop; everything else seems to continue to work fine. Turned car off, then restarted it with no issues. On july 7, 2012, again driving at about 40-45 mph, the car starts to jerk, the gas pedal doesn't work, and the car starts to slow, while jerking, and a wrench/tool symbol appears on the dashboard. I…

Over the last couple weeks i have noticed slight jerks or sputters when i'm driving. Speed ranges anywhere from 10-70 mph when it occurs. This morning on the highway it was much more noticeable and after about 10 miles the wrench light came on and i lost all acceleration, luckily the right lane was clear and i could get to the shoulder safely. As i slowed down the engine shook heavily and i turned the car off. I…

As i was driving at approximately 40 mph on a busy 4 lane highway,and my engine lost all power. It slowed to about 3 mph and would not accelerate at all, nearly causing a major crash. I had to proceed for a distance to find a place to pull off the road. I turned the car off for maybe 5 minutes then restarted the car and it seemed to be over the problem. I contacted the local dealer and was told it was the "throttle…

Accelerator pedal completely unresponsive and engine becomes erratic, but power steering and other electrical components unaffected. Able to coast to side of road, where engine continues to sputter, but does not stall. Changing transmission position has no effect. Turning…

I and my children were traveling down the highway at 60 mph and i all of a sudden i could not give the car any gas. The motor was still running but i had no control over the gas. So i coasted until i could pull over. As i slowed down, the car shuttered. I turned the car off and restarted it. It ran fine for awhile. Then it happened again and again (as i was entering an intersection, turning onto a major highway, and…

I was just leaving my neighborhood and just got down to the end of the road, when all of a sudden i feel this really bad shaking, had no acceleration when pressed on gas and car kept jerking until i finally had to shut it off. I did research on it immediately and found out that this is a throttle body issue that has become very relevant with my car make/model. This is very dangerous! If i was in heavy traffic or god…

Without warning the car lost all ability to accelerate. This occurred several times over the course of two days, sometimes at speeds up to 70 mph. The car jerks, wrench light comes on, and there is no power from the gas pedal. A/c and radio work fine. After navigating thru traffic without power, we turn car off and back on, and it's good to go. But for how long? Could be very dangerous, recall is necessary. Dealer…

Making a left hand turn from a complete stop onto a busy avenue when the "wrench light" on the dash light up, the car started to shudder & could not accelerate, and had to pull over to the side of the road. Turned car off and back on and it happened again within 1 mile. Drove to the home of a friend and had him go with me to try and figure out what was wrong. Car shook hard and nearly died when coming to a stop…

Going about 75 mph with cruise on when problem occurred. The wrench light comes on and the car loses its acceleration completely. I pull over the side of the road. The engine would only turn 1000 rpm. The only way to fix it is to turn the car off and back on again. The wrench light will disappear after that and it'll start driving normally again. The problems seems to be with a bad throttle body assembly part.…

While making a turn my car lost all power. I coasted to the side of the road and had to wait a few minutes for my car to be able to start again. No error codes were posted. Since then i have been having intermittent and significant power losses while driving and while idling. Driving in reverse is difficult and i have to practically burn my clutch just to back up. I took my car to the dealer who said that the spark…

When i purchased the vehicle at 43,000 miles a check fuel fill inlet warning appeared. I main tended the inlet system and the warning and check engine light would disappear. As time went on i noticed that when i would merge onto a busy highway, my car would barely move. I have come very close to death and causing others injuries because of this. I had the throttle body checked after the recall and the mechanic said…

This goes on repeatedly at all speeds but usually worse when above 50 degrees outside and especially when applying slight pressure to gas pedal whether care is already moving or at stop the car engine just stops and little wrench sign comes on and you coast to stop and then have to restart. ( i have had to replace several batteries due to all this restarting) . Also this seems to be triggered or aggravated when you…

Was going up a small hill about 30 miles an hour when the car started to lose power. Even with hitting the gas all i got was a jerk forward. I made it up the hill lurching forward all the way and got home (only a block). Research on the internet indicates this is a known problem with this car that really never gets fixed. What can i do? Here are some links to the search sites:…

The first time, the car was pulling on to a main road going up to 15 mph while turning right. The car began to shudder, stall (only able to coast to a stop), many warning lights including the wrench light came on and dinged. After shutting the key off and waiting up to a couple of minutes, engine started fine and drove normally. 1 month later, this exact scenario happened again while turning right from a complete…

My 2010 fusion has a defective throttle body. I have contacted ford about this issue and i get the answer that its my problem not theirs. I have been waiting for a part to fix this that has been on back order since april but of course this will be at my expense. I see that this problem is effecting hundreds of other 2010 fusions and would like to know why this would not reach recall status? It also will accelerate…

I have learned other ford fusion owners have experienced the same problem. I managed to get my car home (3 miles away). My son reset the computer, and i drove the car again the following day, and it happened again on the interstate. Driving 65…

I drive approximately 30 miles on the highway to get to work. The day this problem first occurred, i got off the highway and came to a stop sign. I checked for traffic both directions. A car was coming from the left, and i was turning right. I knew with my car's acceleration i had plenty of space to pull out safely (it has a v6 engine, automatic transmission). I hit the gas and pulled out. The car did not accelerate…

The throttle body assembly failed after 70,000 miles. The vehicle would stall at speed, have to be pulled over, stopped, engine turned off and completely restarted. The vehicle had multiple incidences of this nature, and i have been told the problem is a common problem with this year/make/model, that being the throttle body assembly which required replacement. *tr

When driving the vehicle it will seemingly randomly bring the engine down to idle or stall the car completely and send a p2111 or p2112 error code (throttle body stuck open/close, respectively) and the car needs to be completely shut off in order to bring the car back into a normal running state. Resetting the car does not guarantee that the issue will go away, and about 40-50% of the time the car stalls again right…
