My 2010 fusion has a defective throttle body. I have contacted ford about this issue and i get the answer that its my problem not theirs. I have been waiting for a part to fix this that has been on back order since april but of course this will be at my expense. I see that this problem is effecting hundreds of other 2010 fusions and would like to know why this would not reach recall status? It also will accelerate…

When driving the vehicle it will seemingly randomly bring the engine down to idle or stall the car completely and send a p2111 or p2112 error code (throttle body stuck open/close, respectively) and the car needs to be completely shut off in order to bring the car back into a normal running state. Resetting the car does not guarantee that the issue will go away, and about 40-50% of the time the car stalls again right…

My fusion has multiple issues. The first being a stalling issue when sitting at a stop, when you press the accelerator the car just dies. It has done this to me multiple times the latest being with my wife who now refuses to drive the car. It doesn't post a code and starts right up; with no code the ford says they cannot help. The second issue is terrible shifting and very slow response to throttle movements. The…

This problem has happened multiple times. When i hit the gas after slowing down, the vehicle will not move. I will have to jam down on the gas pedal before it does anything. At that point, the rpm's fly up and the car will finally start moving. It is inevitable that this will cause me to get into a car accident and even possibly killed one day. There have been several times where i have been just shy of getting…
