My car engine "stalled" (the engine was running, but there was no power from the engine to accelerate) while i was driving and in the process of increasing my speed up to the 55 mph speed limit after turning onto a major road. Since there was no engine power to accelerate, i had to let the car roll to the shoulder where i pulled over and restarted it. This has happened about 4 times in the last 6 monthsand i am very…

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…

My car is out of warranty but only 2 years old i am very angry as this was a very dangerous issues and almost caused a wreck.

I was traveling about 45mph when the car just shut off. Had to coast to side of the side of the road almost got rear ended. This has happened at least three more times in less than a week. The service department claims to know nothing about this problem. I'm sure the service managers are told to act dumb about this issue. I have read that other people have had this same issue. What will it take to get action,…

While driving down the highway, the throttle on the vehicle became unresponsive and we had to make our way across traffic to the highway shoulder. This happened at many different speeds including idle. After taking it to a local parts store to have the "service engine light" code checked, the results showed a p2112 "throttle actuator control system - stuck closed". Several times the car would shut off as the…

The first episode occurred when leaving a parking spot. Car would not go more than 2 mph and was chugging. The others (4-5 incidents) happened while driving, often at 30-50 mph. Sometimes it would be after a turn and during acceleration, others would be simply driving down the road. Car would stall, yellow wrench light comes on, and i would have to stop, shift to park and turn off the car, then re-start. It would be…

Once again it stopped accelerating and i was thankfully close to were i…

The vehicle started to lose power while i was driving 45mph on a major roadway. I hit the accelerator to try and make it go, but the car continued to stall. Luckily i was able to avoid getting hit head on or rear ended. I let the car sit for and hour before i started it. I made it about 5 miles before it lost all power and stalled again. I was almost rear ended again. The only way ford will fix it is if it registers…

I was driving down the road and the car just lost power. I would step on the gas and it would just barely move. I had to coast to a side road. I turned it off and then started it back up. It went a couple of blocks and did the same thing. Then tried it again and it would not stay running. The check engine light came on. *tr

As i was driving down the highway between 65-70mph the gas peddle stopped working, the wrench light came on the dash board and i pulled to the side of the road. I turned the car off and restarted it but did have to pump the gas a time or 2 to get it started. Engine lights went out. This same thing happened 7 times in what should have been a 1hr 45 min trip. I pulled into a ford dealer along the highway and they ran…

I was driving and i lost power- i was unable to accelerate, car stalled causing cars behind me to swerve off road to avoid hitting my car. The dealership says it is the throttle body sensor and there is a nationwide shortage of parts. *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 traded in my mercedes for a 2011 ford fusion with ffv to buy american. Everything was fine until up to the point that the car stalled & surges at 60 mph on the freeway. I limped into the freeway shoulder and stopped the car. My family has never been in this very dangerous situation before. I was very disappointed that a car with 30,000 miles will have this kind of a problem. I think ford still has a problem with…
