Had cruise set at 55mph and lost all power. The wrench light came up on the dash and could not accelerate. Had to pull over to the side of the busy highway. Restarted the car and it seemed normal. The car has done this multiple more times since the incident yesterday. It is now doing it every time we drive. It is extremely dangerous to lose power in your car on a busy highway! this problem needs addressed. From what I read online there are many people that have/had the same problem!

- Russellville, IN, USA

Driving at 35-40 mph, approaching a hill to go up, engine stopped. Electrical was fine; power steering continued to work, but engine would not work. Wrench light came on dashboard. Coasted to nearby street, pulled to side, and stopped. Turned off car but kept key in ignition. Tried to start car but car made unusual noise, so I turned it off. (not clicking noise like bad alternator makes; it was a noise I'd never heard before.) pulled key out of ignition, waited a few seconds, put key in again, and car started as normal. Drove the rest of the way home as normal (only one mile). Have not tried to drive anywhere again for the day.

After stopping at a stop sign, when I pushed the accelerator, the vehicle jerked and would not accelerate past the idle drive speed; a wrench light displayed on the dash; I slowly maneuvered into a parking lot. After restarting the vehicle, I managed to get home and drive the car for several days without issue. A quick internet search led me to suspect the throttle body. On about July 29th, the same thing happened. I pulled to the side of the parking lot that I was in and restarted the vehicle. On the morning of July 31st, as I put it in park at my place of employment, the vehicle stalled (the engine stopped and RPM display showed 0) and the battery light and oil lamp light displayed. The vehicle started right back up. Upon leaving my place of employment, the vehicle stalled four additional times within the 9 miles between work and the nearest auto parts store. The employee stated that the affected part was the "throttle body" just as I had found before.

On June 27, 2014 I took my car to a dealership for a recall to reprogram it. On July 14, 2014, my car just stopped running while I was driving. After several attempts, it did restart after I turned off the air conditioner and radio. The next day I brought it into the dealership once again. The service person told me the same thing happened to several other customers after the initial recall and that now the throttle body needed to be replaced. When I asked why that wasn't replaced when it was reprogrammed, he said Ford told them to wait until the second problem occurred before replacing it. My concern is safety. Had my car stopped running on a busy highway going a higher speed limit, I might have been killed. I called Ford customer service and was given a case number and told this would be "looked into." How many might die before this recall will be done properly?

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled as the wrench warning icon illuminated. The contact mentioned that the vehicle jerked violently when the failure occurred. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road where the vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician stated that the throttle body, engine valve and fuel system needed to be cleaned and the power control module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,552 and the approximate 160,000.

While driving down the interstate to work, the car all of the sudden jerked and started to decelerate. I was able to pull off onto the shoulder, while the car continued to jerk forward. I turned off the ignition, waited a few seconds, and restarted the car. I proceeded to reenter the highway, and a few seconds later it did the same thing again. I once again pulled off onto the shoulder, turned off the ignition, and restarted the car. This time the car ran fine all the way to work. I am concerned that since the freeway has a few construction spots where there are no shoulder pulloffs, I could have been in a serious accident.

- Dupont, PA, USA

Was stopped at a light and when started to take off car cut off and jerked forward. The "wrench" symbol appeared. Tried to start car and it shook as starting. Was able to get started and light (wrench symbol) went off. I only have @24000 miles on my vehicle and it is well-maintained. From what I have read, this seems to be a widespread problem with this model year Fusion. I was lucky that I was not rear-ended or crossing a busy intersection when this failure occurred. This is extremely dangerous and could be fatal. Ford should issue a recall immediately and not after someone gets killed due to this failure.

- Avenue, MD, USA

Was waiting to turn in my apartment complex, pushed on the gas, RPM's shot up to over 1500 and car would not move, then it slammed into gear and took off with wheels squealing. Sounded like something was then being dragged under car. Stopped and looked but nothing, put in gear to drive to parking spot and same thing, didn't move, RPM's up to 1500 and then slammed into drive. Did make it to the parking stall where it then would not move at all when put in reverse and then into drive. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership. Seems to be a re-occurring issue with all the other complaints that I have seen. No warning lights came on at all. Definitely a transmission/transfer case problem, which I have read is common for this year. This car was bought used with 22,785 miles on it and have only had it 4 months and put 5744 miles on it. Something definitely needs to be looked into, a vehicle with 28,529 miles on it, no longer covered under the manufacturers warranty and I need to have a new transmission?? something is wrong here. Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty!

- Chandler, AZ, USA

Every so often while down shifting, the car jumps pretty firmly. While idling at a stoplight, the car will shake. I have some friends tell me I might have bought a lemon from a reputable nationwide car dealership so now I am looking for answers. Just because there hasn't been a recall yet, doesn't mean the car is not defected.

I was traveling 55 mph. Suddenly lost RPM and engine started sputtering and within 5 second my car was dead in fast lane with no shoulder to pull over. Cars braking hard behind me and honking. I was able to restart the car and moved to a gas station near by. Took the car to an autozone. They read the engine light code P2111, which is an issue with throttle actuator. Looked it up on google search. In my first search found hundreds of posting problem with this vehicle Ford Fusion 2011. The engine just goes dead no telling where and when. I was very lucky that did not get hit or lose control. Imagine engine goes dead when you are traveling 55 mph or higher in a fast lane next thing you know, you are at complete stop with no brake or steering. See for yourself search for throttle body Ford Fusion. Updated 11/24/2014

I call the southworth Ford in marion Indiana and now they are telling me that they need to do a diagnostics test and it will cost me $80 to see what is wrong and if there is a recall.

I need this fixed!!!! my son is getting ready to leave for afghanistan this is the reason I bought the vehicle so that I could go and see him off and I will be having a 10 hour drive.

2011 Ford Fusion. Consumer writes in regards to throttle body problems. The consumer received a letter from Ford stating he could possibly experience a sudden reduction of engine power. The consumer believed a recall should be issued, instead of issuing warranty extension.

- Durand, WI, USA

Vehicle over accelerated when coming to a stop. I put both feet on brakes and shifted into park/neutral (has happened several times) and car accelerates to over 7000 RPM and automatically goes back down to normal. I have had the throttle body & motor assembly replaced (4/28/2014) yet it happened again immediately upon initial drive from Ford dealership. Dealership kept my car for 3 additional days and then advised that they could find nothing wrong and I was told (sales general manager) that what I was reporting to them "could not happen".

While driving our car, my wife (along with my 9 month old baby girl) experienced a sudden loss of power and shaking engine. The car was not drivable so she pulled onto a side street and parked the car, leaving them stranded. No engine warning lights ever came on. This is exactly as described (minus the lack of check engine light) in the "Ford customer satisfaction program 13N03" letter that we received a few months ago. This is an intermittent problem, so we were able to take the car in to the Ford dealer. Our local Ford dealer was not able to pull a code as the check engine light never came on. The dealer, and Ford customer service, refuse to replace the throttle body until the code for malfunctioning throttle body is read. My wife and infant daughter must now drive around (twice a day, 5 days a week) waiting for it to fail again, and take the car to the dealer at the time of malfunction. This is a major safety concern as the car will barely move and shakes so badly. It should not be driven across the city to the dealership in this condition, especially with a baby in the car. Ford needs to recall these parts and replace them all to stop putting customers in danger with cars that barely move. As for the "customer satisfaction program"? not feeling very satisfied at all...

During normal driving conditions and speed, the car just stopped being responsive to the acceleration pedal without warning, the maintenance wrench light came on, and the car started slowing down. I was able to turn on the hazard lights and pull over to a safe location, while cars were pulling up behind me very quickly. As the car was left idling it became very rough, like the car was missing. To correct the problem, I had to turn off the car, wait thirty seconds to a minute and start the car again. The car started a little rough but returned to normal operation. The maintenance wrench light was not illuminated and no other warning lights illuminated. This has happened twice so far about a month apart. The first time this happened the vehicle was less than three years old and only had 23,214 miles on it. Luckily both times it happened on a local street and not on a highway. I consider this a safety and reliability problem. You have no idea when your car is going to just stop accelerating as you are driving.

- Twinsburg, OH, USA

I was driving home from work and turn left at 25 mph. I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate and a wrench service light came on. I had to pull over and turn the car off. It took a while to start again. It happens everytime I take the car out and now shifts really rough. I took it to dealer and they said they know about the problem but will not replace part under warranty. The throttle body need to be replaced. It is just a matter of time before someone gets hurt. Please act quickly. I think this should be a safety recall.

- El Paso, TX, USA

While driving, vehicle suddenly lost power. Rpms dropped and vehicle slowed to only a few mile per hour. Vehicle would not accelerate. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership, and I was informed it was a throttle body issue. I was informed this is a common issue, and there might be a recall. If this had occurred on the freeway, it could has been disastrous.

- Detroit, MI, USA

I was driving on the highway, first my check engine light came on, then I drove a little farther and the wrench light came on and the car powered down to 5 mph. I had it towed and took it to the dealership today, and they are telling me that its the throttle body. I see all these complaints and it enrages me that something has not been done about this, I could have cause a major accident due to trying to get over to the side of the road. They need to hurry up and do a recall so someone else doesnt get stuck having to shell out $420 dollars like I did.
