I'm also having throttle body problems in my 2010 fusion. The car has repeatedly lost power while traveling down the road at 60+ mph. The wrench and check engine light come on. It did it 4 times in one day. Ford customer care acknowledged there were problems with the throttle bodies on these cars but refuses to replace them under warranty. *tr

Driving on the highway going about 40mph my car felt like it died, it was still running but unresponsive. There was heavy traffic and i had to stop in the middle of the lane because i was in an area where there were no shoulders to coast to. Once i stopped, i put it in park and restarted it, it ran fine and acted normal for a few days, and it started doing the same thing on the same stretch of highway that i use…

While driving in city traffic vehicle suddenly seemed to lose drive power. Wrench lite came on as i tried my best to move out of harms way.downtown traffic is dangerous enough without this exciting vehicle failure. Upon further research it appears this is the limp-home mode which one encounters when a throttle body has malfunctioned. I find it hard to believe that ford has not notified owners of this dangerous…
