Car stalls while driving down the road, pull over and it starts back up. It has done this 3 times in the last week. Will be taking it to the ford dealer monday. Did online searches and found this is a common problem with ford fusion and it points to the throttle body or electronic module that controls the throttle body. This should be recalled by ford - very scary and dangerous for the driver of the vehicle. *tr
