I was driving my car, and with no warning the orange wrench appears and loss of acceleration occurs. Had to pull over and restart the car. This happened 3 times today and could have potentially caused an accident each time. There is apparently a throttle recall, but does not include my 2010 ford fusion. Not sure what i need to do.

Attempted to exit the drivers door to obtain fuel. Internal door latch failed and would not open door. Had to lower drivers window and use outer door latch to open door. I believe this to be a significant safety issue as it would hinder or prevent egress from the vehicle in the case of a fire or flood, especially if the electrical system were disabled. *tr

Pulled out into traffic and my car lost all acceleration and began to shudder when i got it to the shoulder. Turned it off, and back on: no issue. Less than 40 yards down the road it did it again. Took it to auto zone, the only code that came up was that my "fuel door stuck open". Which is impossible, because it came with a "racing cap" i.e no twist-off cap. Drove fine for two months, then came back something awful…
