I inherited this vehicle a little over a year ago. The vehicle shuts off for no reason and the battery and wrench light come on. After much research i have found that this could be the etb assembly and that several people have complained about this. This is dangerous and i do not know why ford has not recalled it yet rather than offering the customer satisfaction program. I have an appt to take it to a dealership on…

While driving on the highway my 2010 ford fusion hybrid suddenly lost power and quickly decelerated from 65 mph to less than 20mph. I took it to the dealer who said that the throttle body needed to be replaced. This is the same issue on the non-hybrid ford fusion for which ford has issued an extended warranty under customer satisfaction program 13n03 however ford has excluded hybrids and manual transmissions that…

In lower gears / below 3500 rpm, i will occasionally experience a sudden deceleration, and then an abrupt acceleration as the vehicle attempts to make it to the commanded speed. This only occurs when the vehicle is already in motion, most often city streets, occasionally while accelerating onto a highway. I believe this creates a potentially dangerous situation, as a driver may not have the full, consistent…

Driving locally, wrench and engine lights came on suddenly. When i got short ways to store, turned engine off and restarted, lights gone - thought it was a fluke. Proceed to drive home to contact ford, both lights come on again, car begins declerating with no warning, no action on accelerator, car slows (i didn't know this was called limping) and i pulled of highway and get to parking lot. Car towed to ford dealer.…

While driving at highway speed with cruise control engaged, the cruise control de-activates, the check engine light comes on, and the wrench icon comes on at the instrument panel. The engine begins to run very rough, surging, then slowing down, and the cruise control cannot be re-engaged. The throttle body was replaced by the ford dealer 18 months ago, and the condition that exists now was the same that existed…

The issue i have been having with this vehicle involves the throttle body which has been replaced twice now since i have owned this car. While driving this vehicle, myself and my daughter, at separate times, lost acceleration while on the highway. This could have been a very dangerous situation if the timing of being on the road was different as well as the amount of vehicles on the road. We both were able to pull…

This is exactly what i have been experiencing in my 2010 ford fusion. While i am driving and start to slow down at a stop sign or to…

My vehicle has the tendency of reducing acceleration, when you are driving at a speed of 35 or above the car will slow down and almost come to a complete stop. If you are in the fast lane and your car will not accelerate what can you do if there is lots of traffic behind you, this will definitely cause an accident because you have no where to go and cars are right up on you. This is an accident waiting to happen.…
