I was traveling at 60mph in morning rush hour traffic when the 2010 ford fusion lost acceleration. Then the car started to chug so i pulled off onto the shoulder before the exit. It was not a full shoulder as the car was still occupying half of a lane. A ten-wheeler truck was right behind me and fortunately was able to stop.the car had to be towed to the dealership and the throttle body had to be replaced. This car…

Vehicle goes into "limp-home" mode suddenly and unexpectedly. Happened on i-95 and was lucky i could pull over without getting killed. Dealer could not find problem although this should have been well-known to them by then. Happened several times since and got worse and now car is immobile and too dangerous to drive. Apparently a problem with fuel injection throttle body which ford is well aware of and part is…

There was a semi in the right lane, we were in the middle lane with one semi in back of us. We were able to coast to the emergency side of the road. The semi in back of us locked his brake and almost hit us. I shut the car off and…

As i was driving at approximately 40 mph on a busy 4 lane highway,and my engine lost all power. It slowed to about 3 mph and would not accelerate at all, nearly causing a major crash. I had to proceed for a distance to find a place to pull off the road. I turned the car off for maybe 5 minutes then restarted the car and it seemed to be over the problem. I contacted the local dealer and was told it was the "throttle…

I and my children were traveling down the highway at 60 mph and i all of a sudden i could not give the car any gas. The motor was still running but i had no control over the gas. So i coasted until i could pull over. As i slowed down, the car shuttered. I turned the car off and restarted it. It ran fine for awhile. Then it happened again and again (as i was entering an intersection, turning onto a major highway, and…

Driving in the left lane of a multi-lane road. The light had just gone yellow and all of a sudden the engine hicupped hard and i had no response to the gas pedal at all, plus the check engine light (wrench icon) came on. Put on my signal and pulled into the left turn lane as it was empty. I didn't want to block the left lane, it was the start of rush hour traffic. I came to a stop and had no vehicle movement in…

I was just leaving my neighborhood and just got down to the end of the road, when all of a sudden i feel this really bad shaking, had no acceleration when pressed on gas and car kept jerking until i finally had to shut it off. I did research on it immediately and found out that this is a throttle body issue that has become very relevant with my car make/model. This is very dangerous! If i was in heavy traffic or god…

Multiple times the engine just dies due to a faulty throttle body - you must come to a complete stop and put the car in park to restart. We have a fleet of these and lots of them have this very dangerous problem. Please help... *js

I was driving at approximately 45 mph, when car decelerated, and started to stall. A wrench light was on, and i was able to slowly make my way to a driveway off of the main highway. I turned off the engine, waited for a few minutes before starting the car and making my way home. I plan to take to ford dealer tomorrow. However, it appears, based on many, many complaints, that this is an issue with the throttle body.…

I was sitting at a red light, when the light turned green i accelerated through the light. Upon making the turn, the car stalled (shuddered, and although applying the gas, nothing happened) and the 'wrench' icon illuminated. I pulled over to the side of the road (thankfully there was little traffic at this time of day), turned the car off, waited a minute, and re-started the car. The average speed for that day was…

I purchased my car used on november 30, 2012 when the mileage was around 29,000. For the past several months i have noticed that my car would hesitate, but not completely stall, when going approx. 25, 35 and 45, and sometimes even when i first took off. I did not expect to experience any of the major problems that i have read about and was truly shocked once i had my first encounter. My first incident occurred on an…

While accelerating from a stop the engine suddenly cut out and began a rough idle. The check engine light and the wrench light came on. The engine would not rev even with the gas pedal pushed in. Coasted to a stop. Turned the ignition off and then restarted the car. The check engine light and wrench light were no longer lit. Started to accelerate away and then it happened again with the check engine light and wrench…

Making a left hand turn from a complete stop onto a busy avenue when the "wrench light" on the dash light up, the car started to shudder & could not accelerate, and had to pull over to the side of the road. Turned car off and back on and it happened again within 1 mile. Drove to the home of a friend and had him go with me to try and figure out what was wrong. Car shook hard and nearly died when coming to a stop…

Going about 75 mph with cruise on when problem occurred. The wrench light comes on and the car loses its acceleration completely. I pull over the side of the road. The engine would only turn 1000 rpm. The only way to fix it is to turn the car off and back on again. The wrench light will disappear after that and it'll start driving normally again. The problems seems to be with a bad throttle body assembly part.…

While driving the car stalled out, went into safe mode, and had to coast off the road. Happened several more times and took the car to the repair shop. Mechanic diagnosed a faulty throttle body assembly and attempted to clean it. Afterwards the car stalled again and the mechanic replaced the throttle body. Just purchased a used mercury milan with 31,600 miles on and had the exact same problem occur. Ford evidently…

On 5/12/12 coming home from a softball tournament with the cruise on at around 65 mph the yellow wrench light came on. Engine was still running but could not accelerate. Coasted into a church parking lot. Put the car in park and restarted. When restarting seemed hard to start...like an alternator issue. Arrived home safely (was about 5 miles from home when incident happened). On 5/13/12 (sunday) same issue except it…

The first time, the car was pulling on to a main road going up to 15 mph while turning right. The car began to shudder, stall (only able to coast to a stop), many warning lights including the wrench light came on and dinged. After shutting the key off and waiting up to a couple of minutes, engine started fine and drove normally. 1 month later, this exact scenario happened again while turning right from a complete…

Pressing the gas pedal produced no results. I was able to pull off the side of the road, stop the engine, let the car…

My 2010 ford fusion has become a death trap.. The car will stall out without warning, whether on the highway or a street.. This started happening in august 2012. I just bought the car in june of 2012, and it ran fine until july 2012.. That's when i would be riding down the street and the car would stall and sputter, wrench light would come on and there would be no power to the car, no way to accelerate at all..after…
