I was able to pull over at the intersection of a side road where i shut the car off. I started the car back up and proceeded out into the main road. Less than a mile down the road the car started to decelerate again and i turned…

I was traveling down a 2 lane highway (state road, pa) when the car began to rapidly lose acceleration and seemed to stall. The engine jerked excessively, but never turned off. No amount of pressing the accelerator made any difference. I coasted to the side of the road safely. Luckily, no one hit me. Turned engine off and called for roadside assistance. Turned the vehicle on a few minutes later and everything was…

We were going down the interstate and my car started shaking and died out. This continued 6 more times before we found a valvoline and had them test it on their computer. It gave the code p2111 tac system open. Now the code is gone and the dealer can not fix it unless it displays this code so we have to continue to drive it until the error message shows up again.*jb

My 2010 ford fusion begins to shake, vibrate and then the engine stalls without warning, while driving in traffic. This happens while driving at either interstate speeds or city driving speeds. I have to stop, place my car in park and restart the engine. I have come close to being rear ended by a car behind me, both on the intersate and on city streets. *js
