This is the second time in a month that we have had to have the throttle body repaired. The first time, there were error codes that could be used to correct the problem but in less than a month the same problem occurred and this time the entire throttle body has to be replaced. While driving the car lost the ability to accelerate and all propulsion systems did not work. The brakes worked fine but there was no…

I put the car in park and the car eventually stalled out. I restarted the car; it took a few extra seconds than usual. The car drove fine to work. It happen again when i left work at an intersection (pretty scary) 35mph. I pulled to…

Engine shut down to very slow idle when starting from intersection. Barely able to get vehicle out of road. This has now happened 4 times,each time when moving thru intersection. This is very dangerous when traffic is approaching from all directions. After engine has been shut off a few minutes it runs ok. It happened twice on the first occasion then ran good for 5 days when it shut down again,then ran good for 6…

Driving at 40 mph engine went into "limp mode". The engine remains running, but no power. Pulled over and shut engine off. Restarted and ran fine except the problem recurred several times over the next few days at all different speeds. Losing power and/or speed at highway speeds or in traffic could prove to be very dangerous. Took the vehicle to a ford dealer. They informed me that the throttle valve was sticking…

On the highway with my little girl in the back going 65 mph, then suddenly the car went limp, lost all power. I barely made it the shoulder. I was so scared i took my daughter out the car and stand her on the far side of the road. The car was idling very rough, with the service engine wrench on. I had it towed, but i could have saved some cash because after restarting the car it ran fine. The dealer said they could…

I own a 2010 ford fusion with 19000 miles. I haven't even had it a month yet. It is a certified pre-owned vehicle. Driving home from work yesterday, i stopped in a line of traffic at a red light. The light turned green and i accelerated. During acceleration, the car jerked then lost all forward momentum and "puttered". I was able to "putter" to the side of the road out of traffic. I put it in park and noticed that…

At 11:45 pm, i was traveling west on i-64, at 68 mph, when my car quickly decelerated. Despite my applying more gas, my car continued to lose power rapidly and began shuddering. It was then that the "wrench" warning light came on. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road, turned my vehicle off and put my hazard lights on. I waited for a 5 minutes before starting the car again. The car started roughly but…

While driving my 2010 3.0 ford fusion on secondary roads, the car suddenly lost power. After 5 minutes, it could be restarted and driven but after approximately 30 seconds, it would lose power again and coast to a stop. It stranded my wife and daughter until towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed a bad throttle body, and charged approximately $700.00 to replace the part and perform a recommended fuel system…

Throttle body malfunctions while car is at speed. The "wrench" light appears on the display and then the car loses power and begins to shudder. Turning the car off and restarting it resets the display and starts fine. Problem is intermittent but dangerous as the car stops working while the car is going anywhere from 25 to 45 mph. *tr

The wrench light came on and stayed on steady and the car suddenly lost all engine power. Headlights stayed still on and hazard lights worked. I tried starting the car but pressing the gas pedal produced no movement of the car nor any increase in engine sound. After trying to start it several times, it seemed like it started but not a normal start. The engine appeared to be very rough but again, no fast engine…

It was stuck in idle now even though i was just doing 35 miles per hour coming to a stop. As i finally braked to a stop the engine was surging, but when i pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened to the engine, it was as if it was just turned on and placed in drive…

Read in paper that you were looking at ford throttle body. I was in fast lane on i-66 on a friday afternoon. Suddenly car stopped. I was lucky there was room on left apron to pull off. Car restarted when i tried--went 1000 feet and stopped again; now in right lane and pulled off. Knew there was an off ramp 1/4 mile ahead and limped on apron with cars passing. The entire situation was very dangerous in my estimation.…

Approximately one and a half or so miles from my house, the rpms on the car began waving wildly, the car jerked slightly, and came to almost a complete stop on the road, with a truck traveling right behind me. I pressed my foot on the accelerator to the floorboard, but the car slowed to a crawl. The truck behind me…
