Was driving on a heavily congested road and the car suddenly lost power and was limping along. I had to pull over and be towed to a ford repair facility. Was told that the electronic throttle body was bad. *tr

While driving on a busy road in rush hour traffic going about 40-45 miles per hour my car engine was still running but would not accelerate. I looked down at the dash and the wrench light was on. I managed to coast out of the traffic and get to a safe spot. I tried to call dealer but they were not open yet. I sat with car still running for a few minutes to see if it would shift into gear but nothing happened. Engine…

6 times in the past 9 days, the ford fusion has been driving at various speeds (25 mph to 65 mph) and suddenly a "wrench" warning light has illuminated on the dash, and simultaneously the car seems to lose all power to the wheels. Depressing the pedal doesn't result in any acceleration or to maintain speed, but the rpm's don't increase either. This is very unsafe. In one of the incidents the car was in the left hand…

I was driving the vehicle on a four lane highway at a speed of 55 mph. The wrench (mechanical) warning light illuminated and the engine rpms dropped. I steered the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. I parked the vehicle and turned the engine off. I restarted the car and the wrench warning light no longer illuminated. The vehicle accelerated…

The wrench icon popped up and the vehicle stalled while going down the highway out of town. Turned the car off and it acted like it didn't want to crank back up. Tried again and drove 2 miles down the road and it stalled out again. Put in park, put in drive and all it did was roll backwards. Cut it off and sat awhile and drove less than a mile down the road to a safe place to have it towed in. *tr

Whenever we accelerate our vehicle hesitates and then jumps into gear. It has already cut off once and we are worried about our safety. *tr

While going 75 mph in the fast lane of a 4-lane highway sunday afternoon, the car shifted hard, the wrench light came on, and the car would not accelerate. As the car slowed, it began lurching back and forth. We were able to pull off the road into a parking lot and the car continued to lurch after it was put in park. I turned car off and then back on. The starter turned over several times before the care started…

As i was driving down the road at 55 mph, with cruise control on, my car suddenly lost its ability to accelerate. I pushed the gas pedal and nothing would happen. As i slowed down on the side of the road the car began to shake. I turned the car off and started it back up and it ran fine for about 5 miles and did the same thing. After seeing all the complaints regarding the same thing, this car needs to be recalled!…

I went to the ford dealership they said the throttle sensor was bad. I pay them to replace the whole throttle body, which i read online is constantly recurring. Not covered in warranty and the number of times this has happened, ford…

I was driving home from work when my car started to slow down and wouldn't speed up after applying the gas pedal. Then it started to lurch, or jerk forward, and the 'wrench' indicator light came on. I was able to pull over and apply the brakes, which worked but were grinding. I left the engine running while waiting for a tow truck, for fear of not being able to get the engine started again. The problem was a…

I sat for a few seconds and was finally able to get it restarted. This happened numerous (probably…

I was on the expressway with the cruise set at 72. The car itself shut off the cruise and began immediately de-accelerating. Pressing the gas pedal had no effect - the engine remained in idle. The wrench bar indicator lit up. I pulled off the side (huge potential safety issue had there been traffic around) and shut the car down in neutral. Restarted - same issue - would not accelerate - it was as if the throttle was…
