Luckily the traffic was not heavy at the time and there was enough momentum for me to be able to steer the car to the breakdown lane. As i was coasting to the roadside the wrench symbol light came on the dashboard. My passenger and i were able to come away from this dangerous incident shaken…

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…

I was driving at a high rate of speed (55-65mph) when my cars gas pedal had no response. I had to cut across three lanes of traffic to pull into a parking lot all without acceleration ability. I was able to restart the car and continue driving only to have this happen again the next day. It turned out to be the throttle body in my 2011 ford fusion. P2111 and p2112 seem to be a faulty part. A number of people on…

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…

The problem has to do with the gas pedal and throttle body. Merged on to highway, accelerated to speed, set cruise. A few seconds later, cruise disengaged and speed began dropping. When i pushed the gas pedal to attempt to accelerate, there was no response. It was if the car shut off but it hadn't. After i came to a stop and tried to start moving again, the gas pedal again had no response and i could only move at…

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…
