I was traveling on the kennedy expressway in chicago at about 4:30 pm at rush hour time. The little wrench light came on the dashboard without warning or any kind of notice and i could not accelerate at all. When i touched the gas pedal nothing happened at all. I managed to get off on the nearest exit and was blocking traffic. Finally i tried shutting off the vehicle and then restarting it. This solved the problem…

On may 13, 2013, at approximatley 8:30am, on i-40 westbound at 70mph the engine suddenly completly lost power/thrust and the "wrench" light (throttle body indicator). All electrical components were still on, but the gas pedal would not respond. The engine was sputtering and seemed to be "choking". I put on the hazard indicators, pulled over to the side of the road and immediately turned the car off. I checked my…

After sitting on the side of the highway for a few minutes i restarted my car and was able to drive on the road again. About 30 minutes…

Fusion cut power because of a faulty throttle body at around 45 mph. This returned a code p2112 and p2111 on my code reader. Once put into the shop, the ford dealer told me it may be weeks or months before a part is available and i am currently without a vehicle. My warranty only covered for 3 days for rental so now i do not have a car. Very frustrating. *tr

Was on the interstate, wrench light came on, car lost power and began jerking. I could not accelerate. In the past 2 months, my original throttle body went bad, number 2 was bad, and number 3 was bad. Now i am on throttle body number 4, which i bought new from a dealership in california. It took days to find it, as new throttle bodies are on a national back order. I wonder why? *tr

I was just leaving the street from our subdivision during morning rush hour, made a right hand turn when there was a break in traffic and just as i was accelerating the engine just seemed to die. I was able to steer the car to the side of the street to get out of traffic and discovered that the car was still running at a rough idle and a "wrench" symbol showed up on my dash. When the traffic cleared i was able to…

I started smelling gasoline every time i would get out of my car or walk towards it. I was under the impression i had "spilled some", but on 6/9/2014 i noticed a puddle of something in my driveway. I proceeded to smell it and noticed it was gasoline. So i looked under my car and realized that it had a gas leak. I then started looking online to see if there was a recall for this, but unfortunately only the 2013…

My car started to stall and went into limp home mode. It immediately went to 1000 rpms and lost all power. The engine light came on. I had to go across all lanes of traffic on a busy highway and almost got hit. A commonly known problem with the throttle body is the most likely cause. *tr

At any given time, usually when we are driving the car over 25 miles an hour, the car will abruptly stutter and then stall. This is a very dangerous situation since when i am on the interstate, the vehicle will turn off while we are in heavy traffic. We have researched this issue and several hundred owners have the same problem which appears to be with the throttle body assembly. We called ford and they said that we…

Since this vehicle was made with no gas cap my engine light is always on. Any little bit of dirt i drive yet gets into the seal of the gas tank so my engine light pops on and states there is some sort of leak in the system. I can't afford to keep taking it in to pay and arm and a leg for the dealership just to blow out the seal. So my engine light is always on. This is a very dangerous problem because you never know…

On three separate occasions around the incident date, my 2010 fusion had a sudden loss of power accompanied by a rough idle. The "wrench light" came on during each incident. Each time i moved the car to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted it. Each restart took a prolonged time before the engine would turn over. After each restart, the car ran fine. The first time the incident happened i had a vehicle…
