When i was driving on the paved road about 15 miles per hour i let off the accelerator while engaging a slight curve in the road and the car all of a sudden sped up out of control. The brakes had no effect on stopping the car. So i steered away from traffic ahead and went into an open field. The car got up to around 50 mph, and 60 yards out i hit a 10 foot wide trench by 2 foot deep. The front end hit the other side…

Throttle body- our 2012 ford fusion will intermittently stall, which has become a hazard driving, especially on the highway. The wrench light will come on, but once turning the car back on, the light will go off. After a dozen or more times, the check engine light finally came on and we were able to bring it to our mechanic. He pulled the code p2111 (throttle body). He cleaned out the throttle because that what he…

The electronic throttle body has failed twice within 500 miles. (the vehicle has 71500 as of this writing) both times this has occurred at approximately 35 mph while driving on a flat stretch of road at a steady speed with little input from the accelerator. In both circumstances the car has thudded into "limp mode" where the car can only coast of the road. A restart seems to clear the problem.

For a while know my car would randomly stop. All of a sudden it would decrease in speed and then shake at which time i would pull over and shut the car down after some time i am able to start the car up again and get back on the road. No mechanic can actually find anything wrong with my car so they just keep telling me to come back if it does it again. At first i thought it was the fuel filter so i was told by the…

I just hit 40,000 miles, vehicle has become very unsafe, while driving vehicle shuts off. Acceleration take too long and once it kicks in it slams into gear. If i need to reverse it won't find the gear and when it does , i slams into gear, the wrench continues to appear on dash when said event is happening. There should be a recall on that transmission or engine. Very unsafe. When vehicle stalls it becomes a hazard…

My 2012 ford fusion with 36k miles loses acceleration and idles rough until it is shut off and re-started. A wrench symbol is displayed when this happens. No check engine light is displayed.
