On multiple occasions the car will just lose all throttle response, the car is still running, but will not accelerate. I have to find some place to pull over and shut the car off. Then restart the engine and then it will run good. The issue happens sometimes up six times in one day, and then you can go a week without an issue. I have seen this issue with speeds as low as 20 mph all the way up to 70 mph. From what i…

I have had this problem at various intervals since february of 2012 . My fusion would stall an would not accelerate when i left from a stop sign or a traffic light , the vehicle would not go above ten miles per hour an the wrench light would come on my instrument panel. I would have to get off the road an cut the car off then restart it. The car would act like it had flooded an lurch an jerk , when before i would…

Driving up to a red light that had just turned green, the wrench light came on in my 2010 ford fusion, it began to jerk, i lost all acceleration, and my gas pedal would not respond. I was able to limp the car into a parking lot where i turned the car off. I waited a minute or so and recranked it. It shook/sputtered a little bit, but eventually cranked and the wrench light was off. Continued driving and it happened…

Vehicle goes into "limp-home" mode suddenly and unexpectedly. Happened on i-95 and was lucky i could pull over without getting killed. Dealer could not find problem although this should have been well-known to them by then. Happened several times since and got worse and now car is immobile and too dangerous to drive. Apparently a problem with fuel injection throttle body which ford is well aware of and part is…

On june 19, 2012, driving at approximately 40 mph, the car does not respond to pressing gas pedal, and it slows to a stop; everything else seems to continue to work fine. Turned car off, then restarted it with no issues. On july 7, 2012, again driving at about 40-45 mph, the car starts to jerk, the gas pedal doesn't work, and the car starts to slow, while jerking, and a wrench/tool symbol appears on the dashboard. I…

While cruising between 65 - 70 mph, vehicle stuttered, then "throttle control/transmission' warning light illuminated, and vehicle lost power. Accelerator pedal completely unresponsive and engine becomes erratic, but power steering and other electrical components unaffected. Able to coast to side of road, where engine continues to sputter, but does not stall. Changing transmission position has no effect. Turning…

I and my children were traveling down the highway at 60 mph and i all of a sudden i could not give the car any gas. The motor was still running but i had no control over the gas. So i coasted until i could pull over. As i slowed down, the car shuttered. I turned the car off and restarted it. It ran fine for awhile. Then it happened again and again (as i was entering an intersection, turning onto a major highway, and…

Driving in the left lane of a multi-lane road. The light had just gone yellow and all of a sudden the engine hicupped hard and i had no response to the gas pedal at all, plus the check engine light (wrench icon) came on. Put on my signal and pulled into the left turn lane as it was empty. I didn't want to block the left lane, it was the start of rush hour traffic. I came to a stop and had no vehicle movement in…

While driving at a low speed (10-35 mph) the car quickly gains speed (the rpm does not increase) and then slows down again and it feels like the gears shift down although it doesn't seem possible. The gas pedal stops working and a wrench shows on the dash board, the car slowly decreases in speed. As i come to a stop the car jumps and lurches violently. I turn the car off, wait a few minutes and turn the car back on.…

Without warning the car lost all ability to accelerate. This occurred several times over the course of two days, sometimes at speeds up to 70 mph. The car jerks, wrench light comes on, and there is no power from the gas pedal. A/c and radio work fine. After navigating thru traffic without power, we turn car off and back on, and it's good to go. But for how long? Could be very dangerous, recall is necessary. Dealer…

Going about 75 mph with cruise on when problem occurred. The wrench light comes on and the car loses its acceleration completely. I pull over the side of the road. The engine would only turn 1000 rpm. The only way to fix it is to turn the car off and back on again. The wrench light will disappear after that and it'll start driving normally again. The problems seems to be with a bad throttle body assembly part.…

This goes on repeatedly at all speeds but usually worse when above 50 degrees outside and especially when applying slight pressure to gas pedal whether care is already moving or at stop the car engine just stops and little wrench sign comes on and you coast to stop and then have to restart. ( i have had to replace several batteries due to all this restarting) . Also this seems to be triggered or aggravated when you…

The first time, the car was pulling on to a main road going up to 15 mph while turning right. The car began to shudder, stall (only able to coast to a stop), many warning lights including the wrench light came on and dinged. After shutting the key off and waiting up to a couple of minutes, engine started fine and drove normally. 1 month later, this exact scenario happened again while turning right from a complete…

We have had an abnormal fuel smell and leakage from the gas tank area. We have mentioned this to the ford dealership on a few occasions. We were told there was a notice of recall #13s04 but when we talked to the dealership we were told this was not for our but for a 2013. Why are they not taking care of the same problem for the earlier model. We have now taken our car in for 2 other recalls and find this is a very…

While driving on the highway at about 40 mph the car stalled. All power went off but the electricity stayed on. I rolled to the side and was able to restart after 2-3 tries. The same thing happened when i pulled out of my driveway the same day. Ford rebuilt my transmission and gave me a new throttle body. The car ran roughly the other day the engine light came on but it didn't stall. *tr

When driving the vehicle it will seemingly randomly bring the engine down to idle or stall the car completely and send a p2111 or p2112 error code (throttle body stuck open/close, respectively) and the car needs to be completely shut off in order to bring the car back into a normal running state. Resetting the car does not guarantee that the issue will go away, and about 40-50% of the time the car stalls again right…

I called ford motor customer relationship center and told them what…

The 2010 ford fusion will, at random, lose power. Accelerator is non responsive and the throttle body/transmission indicator light comes on. It begins to idle rough at approx. 1000rpm and will not respond to the accelerator. I've had the car for just over 1 year and this incident has happened dozens of times. It has happened while at freeway speeds, as well as trying to accelerate from a stop light. I've had…

I was driving about 70mph when i realized, the gas pedal wasn't working. There was no acceleration then the car starting knocking like it was out of gas so i coasted over to the side of the road. I turned the car off, waited about 5 mins and tried to start the car. It started up fine and drove fine the rest of the way home. A few days later, i was turning at a light and it the acceleration stopped again.…
