Driving down interstate and lost all throttle response. Fortunately was able to pull over to the side and turn car off. Re-started and was able to make it home. P2111 error code; sounds exactly the same as hundreds of other complaints about these models. Mechanics all say the same thing, faulty throttle body and needs replacement. Someone needs to step in at some point and force ford to issue a recall. *tr

Driving at highway speed when vehicle died, having complete loss of power. Wrench light and check engine light both came on. There was no shoulder to pull over onto and many large 18 wheelers driving by. I pulled over in someone's driveway, turned the vehicle completely off, inspected under the hood and around the vehicle with no findings, and then attempted to restart. The vehicle restarted but had difficulty…

With no engine power to quickly pull over, i was afraid of being hit & barely coasted over 3 lanes to the breakdown lane. I came to a complete stop & it…

Traveling at approximately 25 mph, the engine appeared to be quitting. I punched the accelerator a number of times, however, the car didn't respond and the engine simply quit. When attempting to restart the car (after having had to flag cars to go around me to avoid a rear-end collision), it initially would not re-start. I waited a few minutes and the car started. So far it has run fine, but having this same issue…

I was approximately 2 miles from my starting point traveling at a speed of 55 mph. Suddenly, the 2010 ford fusion lurched while shifting into overdrive. When it lurched all ability to accelerate was lost. With cars on each side, i had no ability to accelerate; i lost speed quickly and worked my way to the side of the road (very dangerous situation). I immediately noticed the 'wrench symbol warning light on the…

Car lost power and engine seem to idle three times within a 4 mile trip. I took the car to a repair shop and was told that the "throttle actuator control system" was stuck open (error code p2111). The mechanic told me that ford had put out bulletins in the past referencing this problem. He also said the replacement part was difficult to find because stocks were low due to this frequent problem with other ford fusion…

While traveling to work vehicle lost all power. Nearly rear ended as there was no place to pull of as car coasted to a stop. Looked online to see if this is a problem with this car as i purchased it 4 months ago. Numerous complaints and close calls reported. The throttle bodies are on backorder as there are so many failures being reported. This a serious problem and will lead to accidents. *tr

I was making a right hand turn on a red light. I came to a complete stop. Checked both ways & proceeded to make my turn (when making a turn on red, you need to be able to accelerate in order to effectively make the turn, obviously). My car lost all throttle power and response to the engine. My mph dropped drastically low and car started to violently shutter back and fourth. I was left like a sitting duck in the…
