After about 1.5 hours of waiting, it died 2x while driving about 2 miles home. This has happened before (a couple of years ago) to this same vehicle (taken…

While driving my 2010 ford fusion sel on a back wrong i lost pressure to the throttle. My car had lost all of its speed. Luckily i was able to pull over before a car could hit me. Even if i pushed the gas it would not budge. I believe this is the electronic throttle body causing the problem. This is not the first time it has happened. This the 4 time. I am a college student traveling every day to school and back.…

My 2010 ford fusion stalled many times last weekend. I pulled the car over to the side of the road, put it in park, and turned it off and back on, and it ran fine to get me home. I had no further problems with it until today, roughly a week later. It stalled on me twice at speed, and i had to pull over, turn it off, and restart the engine, upon which it ran fine. Each time it stalled, the wrench icon lit up on the…

This problem has happened twice within the past 3 days. At the first occurrence, we were driving rather slowly, appx. 35 mph. The car lost power without warning, and started misfiring violently. Depressing the fuel pedal had no effect. The yellow wrench warning icon on the dash was lit. We were going down a slight hill on side street, so it was easy to drift to the side of the road. We put the car in park and…

Upon checking internet it appears that this problem is not uncommon. You…
