While driving at highway speeds, my ford fusion accelerator became unresponsive. It was as if the car shifted into neutral. There was no shoulder and i was forced to come to a complete stop on the highway. After a brief internet search, it was apparent this is a very big problem for ford fusions and ford has done nothing to fix the problem. The malfunctioning part was specifically the throttle body. *tr

As we were driving down a 3 lane freeway, the car just all of a sudden lost all response in the gas pedal and the wrench light on the dashboard came on. Luckily we were able to get to the side of the road and no one was behind us when the car became unresponsive. We restarted the car and everything seemed fine, but as we were almost home, it did the same thing again. After this time, we called the ford roadside…

I was entering the freeway on ramp at approximately 25-30 mph when the car suddenly started stalling. The wrench-shaped warning light came on and i could not accelerate even though i attempted to step on the gas pedal. The car started jerking, shaking, and slowed down significantly to about 10/15 mph. The car behind me almost hit me as well because i couldn't control the car's speed any longer. Luckily, i was able…

I turned it off and let it sit a bit and then it restarted and the warning light was off and drove fine. One month later this happend again in town and approximately at the same speed.

While driving at 35 mph the engine failed to respond to the throttle (gas pedal) and slowed. The engine ran at a rough idle at about 900 rpm. The check engine light was illuminated. The car was towed to the ford dealer who advised the "throttle body" needed to be replaced. The part was on back order and it took 10 days to get the car repaired. This would have been a dangerous/life threatening situation had it…

While driving vehicle lost engine power. Rpms went to zero, engine stayed at idle speed and throttle control light (wrench symbol) came on. No response when gas pedal pressed. Coasted to side of road and turned ignition off. Waited 10 minutes and car started up with no problems and no warning light. My concern is that if this happened in heavy/faster traffic it may have caused an accident. And after researching…

While driving my 2011 ford fusion down the road, it unexpectedly lost power. The engine remained on (lights, radio, etc.), but pushing on the accelerator did not cause it to accelerate. The car was turned off & a few minutes later, an attempt to restart the car was made. The starter turned over multiple times & finally started. This occurred three times in a five-day period. It was taken to the dealership, where…

The power steering went of while i was driving at approximately 45mph. The indicator showed check power trac power steering. Took it to the dealer where i bought the car and they put it on a computer to see what was wrong. The computer showed the power gear needs to be replaced at $1600. But the service tech said that may not be all that's wrong, but first need to replace the power gear. This should be covered in…
