Ongoing issue with acceleration developed into a malfunction in the throttle body. I had noticed intermittent stutters during acceleration and deceleration. This time, the car lost power to accelerate, vibrated violently, and forced me to pull over for fear of causing an accident. Now it is recurring and although the code erases and it seems to be fine, it will suddenly fail to operate properly and cause me to cut…

I was traveling on i-65 at approximately 65 mph in the far left lane when i lost acceleration. The throttle control/drivetrain malfunction light came on and i was rapidly slowing in dense traffic with nowhere to lull off on the left side. I was able to pull off to the right through 3 lanes of traffic as the car shut off. I called my mechanic who advised me to restart it and drive to safety if possible. I done so and…

This is the second incident where i've been driving and the car started to lose power. The wrench light came on and the car started stuttering. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and shut the car off and restart. It started a little rough so i turned off the air, and it drove fine. I'm seeing a lot of comments from others that they are having the same problem and it ends up being the throttle. I'm now…

While driving upon four occasions, the engine stopped, resulting in a loss of speed and pulling over to the side of the road amid traffic or a driving lane closest to the curb. I was unable to accelerate, turned on my hazards and slowly maneuvered to a stop. The "wrench" light immediately illuminated, which normally indicates a powertrain issue; however, during the 4th occasion, the wrench light went off and then…

As i was exiting rt. 35 to interstate 75, a major traffic interchange, my 2010 ford fusion died and i was forced to pull over to a very slim berm area to shut it off and start it back up again. It seems the throttle body was "stuck" and it had to be replaced. This was a very dangerous situation that i should not have been involved in due to something ford knows is an issue with fusions. Please encourage a mandatory…

My car's throttle has failed about 20 times over the last few days. About 10 of those failures occurred on a dangerous interstate highway in heavy traffic. The car loses throttle and must be pulled to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted each time. The potential for an accident was high and i consider myself lucky. *tr

The first time, while driving down the interstate, in heavy rush hour traffic, the vehicle lost power and i had to make it across 2 lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic to get to the side of the road. The "wrench" light went on and i could no longer accelerate. The vehicle stayed running, but had a very rough idle. I turned the vehicle off and it started right up and i was able to continue my trip. The next day it did…

While traveling on ohio route 306, the car lost all throttle power abruptly, in heavy traffic. Due to the failure of the throttle body, i went from 45 to zero on an incline with many cars behind me honking. I restarted the car but while the engine was running i had no throttle power at all. Ford does not see a problem here and said it is not a major issue. Had my daughter been driving and this happened to her, i…

While driving this morning my car seemed to "surge". Almost felt like it was going to stall a few times at stop lights and such. Then while going 45-50 mph my car wouldn't respond when i pushed the accelerator. When i pulled to the side of the road, the car started shaking. There was a wrench light in my dash that came on. When i turned off the car i restarted it and it ran with the surging problem until i reached…

Electronic throttle body malfunctioned on our 2010 ford fusion while on the freeway at about 70 mph. Without warning, there was no response from the accelerator and i was forced to coast over to the shoulder without the ability to control acceleration. Thankfully the freeway was not too busy and getting to the shoulder without power was possible. I am paying for the cost of repair. After reading several articles…
