While driving on the highway the accelerator suddenly stopped working and had to pull over in high speeds when my vehicle could not accelerate. Was towed and autobody shop found that the car was in "limp mode". Engine code p2111 throttle actuator control system (tac) stuck open. Diagnosis shows an internal fault with throttle position sensor circuit. *tr

Myself and two passengers (including 10 month old) were riding northbound on the interstate at approximately 65 mph. Our 2010 ford fusion suddenly went into safe mode (aka "limp home mode") where the car continues to have power (steering, brakes, hvac systems) but it does not respond to pressing on the accelerator. We were traveling along at ~3-5mph with other traffic still traveling full speed. Extremely dangerous…

I was driving at a low speed of approximately 20-25 mph behind a large truck. Truck pulled over to let people pass, and when i tried to accelerate, nothing happened and the speed dropped to 5mph and did not respond to accelerator pedal. An "orange wrench, repair needed" indicator light was on as i coasted off road and turned off ignition. Waited 10 minutes, restarted car and drove home without incident. There was…

After a fill-up a smelt gas, once i checked under the vehicle i could see fuel leaking from the passenger side of the gas tank. My mechanic has removed the tank and found corrosion and a split in the top of the tank. I bought the vehicle brand new from a dealership in orlando, florida, and as far as i know it has never been submerged in water. *tr

Driving on fwy at 65 mph when engine dies in my 10 fusion! Pushing gas pedal resulted in no action rpm gauge to 0 as i moved to shoulder. My god was watching over me as i have no idea how i made it to the shoulder avoiding cars all around me and not causing a wreck or getting hurt. Car started up after 5 minutes of prayers and drove to dealer who was less than 1 mile away. Car died again 200 yards from dealership…

One day i fill up tank and "check fuel inlet" comes on so i get out to check it and its cap less. We can not close the cap less because it is cap less. I suggest they lift the gas tank or add a cap because no one wants to keep having to get a smoke test done. For it to only tell you to change the canister purge solenoid. *tr

This is the second time this is happening on my sons car. It happened five times today while driving home from his university for christmas break. Each time it happens, the "wrench light" appears and then the car loses power. He had to pullover on the hwy each time and restart the car to get it to reset. This is very dangerous and it's happening to many ford fusions as i've been investigating this online. My son is…

This problem has happened twice within the past 3 days. At the first occurrence, we were driving rather slowly, appx. 35 mph. The car lost power without warning, and started misfiring violently. Depressing the fuel pedal had no effect. The yellow wrench warning icon on the dash was lit. We were going down a slight hill on side street, so it was easy to drift to the side of the road. We put the car in park and…

Car driving fine when it suddenly loses all throttle response. The little orange wrench light comes on. Pulled car over to the shoulder and turned off the ignition. When i turned the car back on, it began working again. This is the second time this has happened. The first incident was a few weeks ago. Very dangerous to lose throttle response. Upon checking internet it appears that this problem is not uncommon. You…

I turned off and restarted my vehicle and the malfunction had apparently cleared as the issue has yet to return, but will. I say 'will…

While driving my vehicle on the highway the throttle response became very unresponsive, and the car shut off at speed of approximately 55mph leaving my wife and infant daughter to slowly drift off the road at the best possible place. There was a "shuttering" of the vehicle, and poor throttle response before it shut off while at operating speed. *tr
