Lucky me, i happened to have two of these failed designed vehicles. My wife has a 2010 that developed throttle body problems at 35000 miles and now mine at 87500 miles. The 2010 left her stranded with zero engine power, in the middle of busy roads a total of two times before the dealership (palm coast ford) on the third visit decided that just cleaning and spraying down the failing hardware didn't cut it and finally…

Went to make a left hand turn in an intersection and car would not go. No matter how hard i pushed the gas pedal, it would not give the car gas to move. The rpm showed the car was idling, and the service wrench light came on. Engine was shaking and appeared to be sputtering. Very scary. I was almost hit by another car because of being stalled in the intersection. *tr

This has happened 7 times in the last 2 days. While driving, the engine just quits, or while idling at a red light , it just stalls. The yellow wrench light comes on. It restarts, but this is very frightening when it happens while driving at 30-40 mph. Fortunately for me, no one was behind me when it happened and i was able to restart the car when the engine died in the middle of the road. I drove it straight home,…

While driving at all times, the vehicle would start to surge and buck then loose power. It never completely died but when i pulled over it ran terrible and would not accelerate. I turned it off for a few seconds and restarted it. It would run for a while, good, then the problem would reoccur. The engine light came on, i had the code checked. The result was a faulty throttle body or sort in the throttle body module.…

Traveling at a steady speed and the engine cut out. Not completely but had no acceleration control. Have read on-line that this is called "limp" mode. Was able to pull safely off the road and then restarted the car after which the vehicle operated ok. This has happened 3 times in the last week. Took car to dealer who replaced the throttle body at no charge since the vehicle was still under warranty. Although i was…

This issue is a big safety concern!! I have seen many statements online about the throttle body issue and their should be a recall!! I personally have had to have my car towed twice within a 2 week period because of this issue. Every time my car broke down it was the same thing. I was going along fine and then the car all of a sudden dies, chugs, i drift to the side of the road so i don't get hit and then the engine…

Made it to an autozone and found out it was throwing a cel of p2111. For the…

When coming to a stop, my car began to severely shake back and forth. It posed a danger risk for myself and my kids. Fortunately, i was able to get to the side of the road in time, because it seemed that my car was about to crash into the car in front of me. I have been told by the dealership that it is a throttle body issue and is not covered under the warranty.

I have been sensing a surge in engine power for several months in my 2011 fusion. I suspected a throttle body problem and googled for information. I found all of the information on the nhtsa website about throttle body problems for this car as well as information in other forums. It was a good thing as i was prepared for what happened today. I had just left my house when the dreaded (and expected) loss of engine…

Engine light and wrench light came on each time. After shutting down engine on shoulder, it started right back and ran fine for a while. Was fortunate with no traffic incident/accident either time.

The car began sputtering and shaking so i had to immediately get off the road and turn the car off. I waited for a few minutes and started it again, but it would not go over 2 mph. A family member happened to be behind me and had to help me get off road with traffic passing by us. He thought perhaps…
