While i was driving, my ford fusion lost most of it's power. I was told it was due to a broken throttle body (part). It sounds like it will take 3 weeks to get the part. I'm not sure why it is taking so long, especially since most people here are complaining about the same part. *tr

After stopping at bank, car went into creep mode after less than a block. Restarted and drove home. Nine days later the same thing occurred. Drove to mechanic next day ok. Needs throttle body for $440.00. Ford apparently not willing to fix although they've had this problem for years. Replaced ignition coil a few weeks earlier for $330.00. Same mo with ford. *tr

While resuming travel after stopping at a stoplight the engine would not allow me to continue to accelerate. As there was a line of traffic behind me, i quickly turned on my 4-way flashers and coasted to the side of the road. After shutting off the ignition and waiting for a few minutes, i tried restarting the car. The engine restarted normally and i was able to proceed with full throttle functionally. This same…

The car began to stall on the freeway, so i had to drive it off the freeway after it had turned off twice. The first time, it went off in the middle of the freeway as i luckily veered to the side and no one was hurt. I took it to be serviced. It turns out there was a faulty throttle control: the throttle actuator was stuck closed (p2111), and also would get stuck open (p2112). This must have happened while i was on…

After researching this online there are so many problems, the part has been back-ordered months at a time, more than once. This problem has been noted in…

I was driving in the right lane of a major, heavily traveled (with many tractor trailers), divided highway, traveling at a speed of between 55 and 60 mph. All of a sudden, without warning, the engine seemed to shut down. I could not accelerate; the engine would not respond. This was a very scary situation as trucks and cars had to break, while i steered the car to the narrow shoulder. The car didn't seem to lose…

We were traveling at approximately 65 miles per hour when the car started to jerk and the wrench light came on the dash. We were unable to accelerate. We were in the middle of traffic, almost causing a wreck, and had to make our way to the curb to turn the car off. After we started it again the wrench light went off and we were able to make it back to where we were staying. We were out of town and we had to take the…

I get back in and the car drives for a few minutes, then…
