While driving in the center lane on the southbound i-5 freeway my 2011 ford fusion began to feel like it was driving through mud and lost acceleration. When i attempted to compensate by accelerating the car, it resisted and continued to slow significantly. Thankfully traffic was not extremely heavy at the time and i was close to a freeway exit. I pulled to the right, avoiding oncoming traffic (barely) and coasted…

While driving ~55mph in left lane of a 3-lane interstate at morning rush hour, the engine lost power, continued running at ~1000rpm, but would not accelerate. The check engine and wrench lights were on. The car was nearly hit by numerous vehicles as i coasted to the emergency lane on the right side of the expressway. The engine was shut off, then restarted, and it was ok for several miles. The same scenario was…

As we were traveling we suddenly began slowing to a halt. Though my husband was pressing the gas pedal and the engine was running, there was no response. Luckily he was able to steer the car to the shoulder before we stopped completely. We were on a sparsely traveled road at the time. After checking under the hood, repeatedly trying to push the pedal and calling roadside assistance, he finally turned the engine off…

And it ran normal; "wrench" light extinguished. Took car to walnut creek ford following…

Again on sunday, august 11, 2013 as i was making a left hand turn, the car basically stopped in the middle of an intersection, causing the driver behind to honk and wonder if i was moving. I put the flashers on and the vehicle "limped" through the intersection. I could…

It was not even a month later when i could feel slight vibration in my steering wheel again, & would progress until i finally had to bring in again to be serviced with several other problems w/ my…

I had just purchased my 2011 ford fusion just over a month when i encountered my first stall on my way home from work. I was fully stopped at an intersection waiting for the stop light to turn green. I pressed down on the accelerator only to realize the engine was no longer running. The car behind me bumped into my back bumper anticipating i would be accelerating through the intersection. There was nothing on the…
