The car stalled in the middle of airport traffic. The wrench light came on and the check engine light. It occurred again on the fl turnpike traveling at 75 mph. We no longer drive on the highways and it has happened 3 more times. Research says it is the throttle position sensor, and the only fix is to replace the throttle body. *tr

I was on i 81 south near staunton va, passing a line of trucks with a line of cars behind me when the engine lost all power. I was down to 10 mph before i could get to the shoulder and pull off the road, all the time bracing for an 80 mph impact. The engine was still running at idle, but would not respond to the throttle and the wrench icon dash light was on. I cut off and restarted the engine, the light went out…

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…

He drove around to try and re create the problem. After 100 or so miles it happened again and it turned out to be codes p2111 and p2112 which turned out to be throttle body codes. I had to pay to get the throttle body replaced because it…

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…

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…
