I was driving approximately 70 mph in the left lane on i-40 when i heard a noise and then realized that i had absolutely no throttle response. I also noticed that the orange wrench light illuminated on the dashboard. This was especially frightening and dangerous given the fact that i was driving during a time of high-volume traffic, and there were cars behind me also going 70 mph. Thankfully, i was able to pull over…

Last year i had bought one (2010 sel) <vin:[xxx]> that suddenly started losing power on the highway. A very dangerous situation. The car was out of warranty so i had to pay $500 in repairs to replace a throttle body. Upon doing research this is a known and very dangerous issue for the ford fusion and they have done nothing to correct it. Fast forward to 2013, i purchased my second ford fusion <vin: [xxx]> about 1.5…

Car simply started to shake, a wrench warning light came on and car rapidly decelerated. Complete loss of ability to accelerate car, as if thrown into neutral. Only way to correct is to stop and restart the car. This now happens every time i drive the car - no matter the speed. Car has been going 65 mph and shut down. *tr

While driving down the road, the car will suddenly jerk and the check engine (wrench) light will come on and i will immediately lose all ability to accelerate. After pulling the car over and putting the car in park, the car begins to shake until i turn off the car. When i turn the car back on, it takes a minute to turn over and then drives fine until it happens again.

As i was driving on the freeway in the middle lane, my accelerator pedal stopped working. I was able to swerve between other cars to get to the right lane shoulder where i was able to stop and shut it off. I sat for a minute and the car started back up fine and went on. This again happened 2 days later from the left lane during rush hour traffic, a lot more dangerous. *js

I was driving my 2010 ford fusion, with 43,000 miles on the highway passing a car, when i experienced a jerk and could no longer accelerate.

I was lucky that i was only passing one car and it had already gotten by me so i pulled back over and coasted to the side of the road. There was a wrench light on. I turned car off, waited a moment and…

My car stalled on a busy highway (21 n). Luckily i was in the right lane and could coast off to the side. I turned my car off and then back on and it was fine. It happened two more times; one while going to work and yesterday when dropping my elderly mother off at her home. I was afraid to drive the highway to work as there is a lot of construction and nowhere to turn off the road should it happen again. I am now…
