On the evening of April 22, 2016 car shut off when in motion at 35mph on a city street. No indicator lights came on. Put car in neutral and started it after three attempts. The following morning I drove the car 2 miles to my father's house to have him check it. The car shut off while in motion at 25 mph on a city street. Five times. A 10 minute drive took me more than 30 minutes. Error code P2111 came up. My car has under 68,000 miles. Throttle body. I believe this is covered under my extended warranty.

The vehicle starting having a rough idle and stalling out at a red lights. I immediately had it checked, and the technician cleaned the throttle body which seemed to help for a few days. Then, with no warning I saw smoke/steam pouring out from under the hood so I immediately called for help and asked what to do. I was advised by the technician to immediately pull over and shut the car. I had the car towed to lilliston Ford in vineland, NJ. I was told I needed a new motor. When asked why, I was consistently told that they were not sure without taking the motor apart but that they found all of the coolant in the engine pan, mixed with the motor oil. It seems to be that the most likely scenario is that the head gasket went bad and coolant leaked into the motor causing two things to happen - it mixed with the engine oil (which is obviously bad), and since now all of the coolant was out of the radiator the car overheated and warped the engine block. This vehicle is only 6 years old and was religiously maintained and should not be having major issues as such. Case number: Cas-9188661.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The first dealer performed a routine maintenance check in addition to the recall repair. When the service engine warning light illuminated, they cleared the code. The contact was unable to determine if the dealer performed a leak test on the canister purge valve (cpv). The dealer did not remedy the recall. After the dealer allegedly completed the recall repair, the contact was driving and the service engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer for further inspection. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and refused to provide any further coverage to repair the vehicle. The contact was unable to determine if the manufacturer would remedy the failure and was uncertain if the vehicle was safe to drive. Prior to the repair, the only failure experienced was the service engine light randomly flashing. The approximate failure mileage was 107,168.

Vehicle shuts down while cruising on the freeway. The wrench light came on. Lost control of throttle and had to pull over to the shoulder. The car wouldn't rev up or anything. After turning the car off and starting it back up again it drove fine and the wrench light disappeared.

- Oakland, CA, USA

Engine would drop to idle and not respond to accelerator pedal, only restarting would solve. Escalated to engine completely dying requiring a restart often at highway speed. On 10/20 driving to airport in Chicago, car died a total of 7 times. Called Ford corporate regarding the etb customer satisfaction program, found my vehicle VIN was not included. On 10/22 took to Ford dealer and the etb was replaced at customer expense. Was told that the codes were exactly the same as the etb's being replaced under the customer satisfaction program. Called Ford corporate again, but would not included in the program. A serious potentially life-threatening issue when a vehicle stalls in heavy traffic. Suggest that all of the 2010 Ford Fusion should be included in the satisfaction program or the program should be upgraded to a recall program.

I was driving down the highway and a red triangle light comes on that says to stop safely. The engine shut off. I had to pull over and turn car off. Once I started it back it starts fine but continues to turn off very few miles. This is a major problem and puts my families lives at risk. No lights are on after I turn car back on. This is very serious and can cause my family to die in a car crash. Thankfully the hybrid engine still works which lets me slowly pull over but my speeds on the interstate goes from 70 to about 30 really fast and puts us in a very dangerous situation. Please help me fix.

While driving, the car will suddenly lose all acceleration and the maintenance wrench light will come on. This has happened while accelerating from a stop, and while going 60 mph down the highway. The only way to reset it is to restart the car. If the car is not restarted, it will shake vigorously as if it is going to stall on its own. Once restarted, acceleration is restored to normal until it does the same thing again.

- North Aurora, IL, USA

While stopped at red light and stop signs attempting to turn, the vehicle would rev itself corresponding with a rapid increase/decrease in RPM. Upon acceleration the car would stutter and the engine turned off while allowing me to enter the intersection resulting in very close calls. This has been recurring with more frequency.

I was affected by the throttle body thing. I got it fixed at jim click Ford in tucson. I've been experiencing heavy acceleration and throttle response problems since. I had my trams fluid leak from the cap. No leaks in any of my hoses. My rpms stay between 1700-2700 regardless of what speed I'm going. I took it back to jim click, even tho showing no errors. And it's always whining, my engine. I don't know what's causing this, but I definitely take care of my car. And Fusion been having a lot of problems. And people tell my my car makes really loud noise when turning. I've never heard it or felt it, but I've been told by multiple people.

While driving I noticed the temp gauge was on high. No warning lights preceding this and now low coolant alarm. Turned a corner to pull off and before I could, check engine light came on and engine shuddered to a stop causing me to loose steering and brakes. With no warning enabling me to either check the car out, or safely get off the road. The water pump which is inside the engine failed. It has contaminated the oil now requiring an entire new engine. On searching google for the Ford 3.5L V6 engine this appears to be a huge problem with these engines and its design. I cant imagine what would happen should it fail without warning at highway speeds.

While driving down the freeway at approx 70mph in heavy traffic, the vehicle made a slight jerk, and lost propulsion. I had to cross several lanes of traffic off to the edge of the road. There was no response to pressing on the gas pedal. Once stopped and in park, the engine idled very roughly, shaking the entire car. I turned off the engine, waited about a minute, and re-started the car. It had to crank for a few seconds before turning over and starting. It then drove fine for about another 10 miles before quitting again. I again stopped, then restarted the car, and limped it home on side roads, off the freeway. It did not drive smoothly, but made it the other 15 miles home without quitting again. I took the car to an independent mechanic, who researched and found a known problem with the throttle body, causing these exact symptoms, and has referred me to a Ford garage for an in-warranty repair. The appointment for that is tomorrow.

I believe this car is also affected by the electronic throttle body issues plaguing Ford. I was driving the vehicle when it suddenly loses power and the "wrench" light appears. The vehicle lost speed and did not respond to the gas pedal. I was able to pull over and restart the vehicle with temporary resolution of the problem. This has been a gradually worsening problem.

On Saturday, 08/15/2015 @7:45pm I was driving on I-10 on the far left lane about 65 mph. As I started moving to the center lane to get to the right lane on a bit of an incline, a wrench light went off on the dashboard; I turned my emergency lights on. As I pressed on the pedal to get on the center lane, the car started losing speed. I pressed the pedal but the speed kept coming down. At this point the speed went to about 20 mph and a semi truck was directly behind me. I tried to get to the right lane, but another semi was on my right side. At this point, the speed was about 10 mph. Right after the semi passed, I changed to the right and had just enough inertia to make it to a point on the freeway between an entry ramp and an exit ramp, not on a shoulder. After stopping, I turned the key ignition off. I tried to start right back, nothing. I called my husband to pick me up. While we talked, I tried the ignition again; the car started and I drove the car got off the freeway. I kept driving all the way home on the "gateway" next to the freeway on the right lane. Went to the Ford dealership as soon as they opened on Monday, 08/17/2015, explained issue. Service rep indicated that there was a recall on the engine throttle body, but it would have to be confirmed. The only way they could confirmed it was to drive the car on the freeway, since the computer did not show failure. The car lost power as it did for me, and the mechanic turned the engine off and back on to reset it. When I picked up the car on 08/24/2015, it was replaced under the recall. The service rep said that they are still getting this complaint. They see quite a bit for city traffic, but have had some for high speeds. He did say that my case was the most dangerous he had had and that unfortunately, Ford will not issued a full recall and will only replace as it happens and if proven.

Vehicle lost power, would not accelerate a wrench showed on the instrument panel, it eventually begin to gradually gain some of it's power enough to get the car home. I have read numerous accounts by other people complaining about this problem. It's seem it has to do with the throttle body. My real concern is why Ford Motor Company has not been required to issue a safety recall. Loss of power could result in serious injury or death if this happens on a interstate are in heavy traffic.

- Newport News, VA, USA

Car cut out and went to limp mode. Code P2111 - actuator control system open this is a very serious safety issue!!!! my entire family was in the car. If I had not been a experienced driver an accident could have result from shutting down on the interstate

- Livonia, MI, USA

While driving (8/8/15) on I-65 at approx. 75mph, the RPM's dropped and there was no response from the throttle pedal. After carefully making our way to the shoulder, it was noticed that charging system and throttle control/transmission indicator lights had turned on. I turned the vehicle off and upon restarting, everything appeared to be working as it should. The above was the second instance of this malfunction. Previously (June 2015), while driving in city traffic at approx. 30mph, the RPM's dropped and the throttle pedal became unresponsive. After turning the vehicle off and back on, functionality resumed. Over the next 15miles back home, this occurred three more times at speed between 25 ~ 55 mph. At all instances, the throttle control/transmission indicator light turned on, but then turned off after restarting the vehicle.
