Vehicle stalled without warning in heavy traffic. Pulled off, restarted. Resumed normal operation. Stalled again. Restarted again. Began stalling at lights. Had to trim gas pedal while stopped to keep running. Car stalls on acceleration B/w 2nd and 3rd gear (6 speed manual). When car stalls while underway, major shudder occurs. Has gone into limp mode but after restart will be normal operationally for a short time and then without warning cut out. Extremely dangerous situation, in particular when accelerating from a stop or into traffic or if successful doing that, stalling without warning at speed and with cars/trucks bearing down on you. At one of the above stalls, had tractor trailer bearing down on me without an ability to remove the car from road in that particular area. Throttle body codes P2111 and P2112 indicating bad throttle body. Very common occurrence apparently among the 2010 through 2012 Ford Fusion. Requesting a recall and reimbursement for throttle body which I have replaced.

- Pickerington, OH, USA

I drive a 2011 Ford Fusion, and on August 8, 2013, I was driving on a highway at about 65 mph and I went down to about 5mph. I had to pull over and turn off the car. The check engine light and wrench light came on when this happened. After I shut it off the wrench light went off, but the check engine light stayed on. This happened again after I started the car again. The car is now in the shop. This should be a recall part.

- Burlington, WI, USA

I was doing 55 mph and my car stalled, the wrench and check engine light came on then the car stopped. After a couple attempts the car started and I was allowed to drive although I was scared and got off the freeway. I also have had a problem with my wheels knocking when I turn like one of the tires are going to come off. Now I have to replace the throttle body! I took the car to the mechanic and now all these things have to be fixed and have become quite costly, not to mention the car was made to not have a gas cap" really" I'm starting to wonder if the Ford Fusion is the right car to have and the safety questions are always in my head because if a car stops on the freeway while doing 55 a serious accident can't be too far behind. I pray these issues all get addressed and recalled so no one gets killed! I did research on this website and found that the same issues have happened to many others but when I called Ford's customer relations department I was told there are no recalls for my VIN. I can't imagine I am the only one having these troubling issues taking place but it only affected certain models. Seems to me all Ford Fusion should have these items recalled and replace regardless of what model. I now have to keep my receipt from the mechanic because it was not a Ford dealer who fixed my car and hope that the recall on these issues will allow me to get my hard earned monies back one day soon. Frustrated Ford Fusion owner to say the least.

- Anaheim, CA, USA

As we were driving down a 3 lane freeway, the car just all of a sudden lost all response in the gas pedal and the wrench light on the dashboard came on. Luckily we were able to get to the side of the road and no one was behind us when the car became unresponsive. We restarted the car and everything seemed fine, but as we were almost home, it did the same thing again. After this time, we called the Ford roadside assistance to have it towed to the nearest dealership. The problem was reported to us as the throttle body and motor assembly.

- Bethel Park, PA, USA

While driving on I-95 South approximately 65-70 mph in moderately heavy traffic, at exit 180, the car sounded like it dropped out of gear while accelerating. I was able to merge to the shoulder of the highway. The car continued coasting and the "wrench light" appeared. The car would not accelerate at all. When stopped, the car rattled and idled very hard and was shaking. The service engine light came on. I turned the car off and I waited a few minutes and cranked the car back and all was fine, wrench light and service engine light was off. This has happened 6 more times since July 8th 2013, yesterday it happened 4 times in the 1 hour, almost got slammed by two 18 wheeler trucks. This really should be a recall due to this type of situation can get people killed.

- Dillon, SC, USA

While driving at highway speeds, my Ford Fusion accelerator became unresponsive. It was as if the car shifted into neutral. There was no shoulder and I was forced to come to a complete stop on the highway. After a brief internet search, it was apparent this is a very big problem for Ford Fusion and Ford has done nothing to fix the problem. The malfunctioning part was specifically the throttle body.

- Sherwood , AR, USA

I was traveling down the road going 40mph when all of a sudden the car lost power and went into a limp mode I was getting no reaction from the gas pedal and had to pull off the road. At this time the wrench and service engine light came on when I turned the vehicle off and then back on it ran just fine and there were no lights. The next day it happened again 2 more times. The third day it happened 2 times just on the way to the mechanic 2 blocks away. They told me it was the throttle body box that needed to be replaced and that this is happening so much the part is actually on back order and would not be available for 3 weeks. Very upset and want this issue addressed by Ford. They need to stand behind their product and if there is an issue take responsibility and just get it fixed before someone gets hurt when there traveling down the road and their vehicle suddenly loses power.

- Tempe, AZ, USA

While driving at a highway speed of 65 mph, vehicle suddenly lost all ability to accelerate and the wrench light on the dash became illuminated. Driver was in outer fast lane of the interstate and had to proceed to change several lanes with no acceleration in order to remove the vehicle from the highway as quickly as possible. When the vehicle came to a complete stop, the engine rpms started to rev up and down continuously.

- Chesapeake, VA, USA

Driving on the interstate when the wrench light came on and the engine stalled. Had to coast the car over to the roadside. Car was running very rough. Turned car off and restarted. Car idled normally. Drove about 1 mile and the car repeated the same problem. Problem occurred 4 times until I got off the interstate. Was able to drive the car to a safe place at about 30 miles an hour. Making arrangements to take car into dealer. Very dangerous situation as I was on a high speed interstate and could have been hit by oncoming traffic.

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

As I was driving down a crowded highway the vehicle lost power and refused to accelerate. It was later determined that the throttle body had malfunctioned.

- Corpus Christi, TX, USA

I was entering the freeway on ramp at approximately 25-30 mph when the car suddenly started stalling. The wrench-shaped warning light came on and I could not accelerate even though I attempted to step on the gas pedal. The car started jerking, shaking, and slowed down significantly to about 10/15 mph. The car behind me almost hit me as well because I couldn't control the car's speed any longer. Luckily, I was able to maneuver the car to the right-hand shoulder. However, this is an extremely dangerous car to be driving and there really shouldn't be any severe problems such as this because we just bought this car less than 3 years ago! I don't know what's wrong with the transmission. Looking back on it, I also do not understand why this occurs while shifting between the 2nd and 3rd gears. I have also observed extremely high rpms at lower speeds. I hope the government will ask Ford for a recall because I don't want anyone else to end up in this type of dangerous situation that could potentially kill someone. Definitely a transmission problem. Took this to the dealer, who told me it was a throttle body problem and they are still working to fix it. Granted, I don't drive like a grandma. However, if I pay 25K for a car, I expect its transmission to last me longer than 3 years.

- Torrance, CA, USA

While driving at 35 mph the engine failed to respond to the throttle (gas pedal) and slowed. The engine ran at a rough idle at about 900 RPM. The check engine light was illuminated. The car was towed to the Ford dealer who advised the "throttle body" needed to be replaced. The part was on back order and it took 10 days to get the car repaired. This would have been a dangerous/life threatening situation had it occurred on the interstate at 65 mph!

- Budd Lake, NJ, USA

Was driving and wrench light came on and the car almost came completely to a stop. Could not go more than a few mph. Shut off car, and everything was fine. On 7/22/2013, the wrench light and check engine light came on 3 times and the car was in limp mode. Wrench light shut off but check engine light stayed on. Car is currently at a shop being diagnosed.

***note: This started in May 2013 happened 3 times. Dealership replace an intake sensor and then it happened again as listed below. This is putting me and my daughters in danger everytime this happens without prior warning. ---------------------------------------- July 19, 2013 @ 3:29 am: Without warning this time the "check engine" indicator came on, the car made a weird noise like a dying rumble/purring noise as it became silent and all power left. -she put the care in "P? park -started the engine and it acted normal -------------------------------------- July 19, 2013 @3:28 am: Without warning the ?throttle control/transmission? indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. -she put the care in ?P? park -started the engine and it acted normal ------------------------------------------- July 19, 2013 @ 1:20 am : without warning the ?throttle control/transmission? indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. -she put the care in ?P? park -started the engine and it acted normal ---------------------------------------------------------- July 18, 2013 @4:30 pm: Without warning the ?throttle control/transmission? indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. -she put the care in ?P? park ".I was in the back seat & instructed her what to do. -started the engine and it acted normal ***** Ford dealership service technicians could not find or duplicate the problem. The issue escalated to the Ford engineers. They determined that it was something like the massive intake air flow sensor and installed a new one ( Ford part: Fp 3L3Z-128579-ba sensor assy) June 13 just prior to my business trip on June 17,2013.

Driving on the highway at a rate of 70 mph with traffic behind and ahead of me, I lost power and the car went into limp mode. The wrench light and check engine light went on. I could no longer speed up and began to lose speed (rather quickly I might add) the car immediately behind me came very close to colliding with me! I couldn't go faster than 30 mph and had to pull over on the shoulder of the highway. I turned the car off and when I tried to turn it back on, it took an oddly longer amount of time to turn on. (like holding the key turned in the ignition) then sitting at a traffic light, when I started to go when it turned green, I was going 5 mph and the RPM's shot up to 3000 RPM! under 40 mph, it was up near 3000 RPM! Ford, please examine this again! this is dangerous! why wait until an accident actually happens?

- Robbinsville, NC, USA

While driving down the highway, the throttle on the vehicle became unresponsive and we had to make our way across traffic to the highway shoulder. This happened at many different speeds including idle. After taking it to a local parts store to have the "service engine light" code checked, the results showed a P2112 "throttle actuator control system - stuck closed". several times the car would shut off as the tachometer was moving erratically. I feel we were lucky this didn't cause an accident as the car shutoff several times while entering intersections and driving around "blind corners".

- Englewood, OH, USA

1st incident: I was with my children in the car at a red light, when the light changed to green I pushed the gas pedal to move forward the car started jerking and shaking then all the power was lost to the car. The wrench light was also on. I turned the key off, waited a few minutes turn the key again and car started and drove fine from there. 2nd incident: My husband stopped at a stop sign with myself and my children in the car, proceeded forward and the car began to loose power and jerking and shaking, we only made it across the intersection because we drifted. The wrench light came on. He turned the key off, waited a few minutes, turned the key and car started and drove okay from there. 3rd incident: Myself with my children in the car stopped at a red light. When I proceeded to turn and go forward the car began loosing power, then started jerking and shaking and the wrench light came on. I turned the key off, waited a few minutes and started it back up and went ok from there. Took the car to dealer and they diagnosed it as throttle body problem that needed $771 in repair. It is past the 36,000 mile warranty. We bought the car used from the dealer, past the emissions warranty date. This is a safety issue and concern that should warrant a recall.

- Linthicum, MD, USA

Incident#1: traveling on freeway fast lane at around 65 mph, engine appeared to cut out for no apparent reason. Lost all power, but radio still on. Put on emergency flashers and was fortunate enough to be able to get all the way over to emergency lane. Turned off ignition, took out key, turned car back on, and everything started normally. Was able to get back home without any other problem. Incident#2: pulling away from a stop sign at around 5 mph after having driven only about a mile from home. Engine cut out again as I was accelerating. Pulled to the side of the road and turned off car, removed key from ignition, started car again and everything was fine. Fortunately, I have been alone in the car when this has happened, but I have two children under 4 whom I Transport often. It seems like only a matter of time before I'm in a more serious situation and this happens again (such as turning left into oncoming traffic with my kids in the car). Based on many complaints on this site and actual personal accounts of other Ford Fusion owners who have had the exact same problem, it seems obvious that there is a problem with the throttle body. Hopefully there will be a fix for this before someone gets seriously injured.

I was leaving a shopping center and had to a stop to yield to traffic. When I placed my foot on the accelerator, I noticed that the car seemed to have lost power. I could not accelerate above10 mph. I also felt the car shaking violently. The check engine and mechanic's wrench warning lights on the dashboard illuminated. I pulled to a stop at the gas station, shut off the engine and re-started the vehicle. Afterwards, the warning lights on the dashboard were no longer illuminated, and the car seemed to return to normal. A few miles down the road (on a highway where the speed limit is 50 mph), I came to a stop at a traffic light. Once the light turned green, I attempted to accelerate but found that my car had lost power once again and could hardly move. The check engine light was also illuminated again. I was stuck in the left lane of the road with no shoulder to pull onto--a very dangerous situation. I put on my hazard lights, turned the car off and on again. Then, I was able to drive the car normally a few miles to my home. However, the engine light remained illuminated. I had the car towed to a repair shop because I considered it unsafe to drive. The shop informed me that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The part was on national back-order for over a week.. clearly, this is a common problem for Ford Fusion. Considering the safety risks, I am very surprised that there has been no recall.

- Abingdon, MD, USA

While driving vehicle lost engine power. Rpms went to zero, engine stayed at idle speed and throttle control light (wrench symbol) came on. No response when gas pedal pressed. Coasted to side of road and turned ignition off. Waited 10 minutes and car started up with no problems and no warning light. My concern is that if this happened in heavy/faster traffic it may have caused an accident. And after researching online as to what may have caused this failure it seems there are a large number of consumers having the same problem with this make and model. Several suggested filing a complaint on this site.
