As I was driving down the highway between 65-70mph the gas peddle stopped working, the wrench light came on the dash board and I pulled to the side of the road. I turned the car off and restarted it but did have to pump the gas a time or 2 to get it started. Engine lights went out. This same thing happened 7 times in what should have been a 1hr 45 min trip. I pulled into a Ford dealer along the highway and they ran diagnostics for me and came up with the throttle body problem. I only had 3 episodes on the way home.

While approaching a red light, the vehicle seemed to slip out of gear and lose power. The wrench light went on and when I went to accelerate, the vehicle would not do so. I was able to limp the car to the side of the road and turned if off. When I restarted, it ran fine. I took the vehicle to the dealer the next day and they could not find anything wrong as no codes had been tripped. I did not have another incident until June of 2013 at which time I was driving at 55 miles per hour and again, the vehicle just lost acceleration and the wrench light went on. Luckily was not in heavy traffic and able again to get to the side of the road, turn it off and restart. I took the car back to the dealer and again, no code tripped, nothing could be found. On the way home from the dealer and driving at a speed of 60 mph, again the same problem. I took the vehicle back to the dealer the next day which was June 12, 2013 and they gave me a loaner car to drive until they determined the problem.. on June 18, the dealer called me and said I had to bring the loaner back because the part they needed to repair my vehicle (the part being a throttle body) was on back order and would take a few days to come in. It is now June 26, 2013. The part is still not in, according to the mechanic at the dealership, this part is in high demand!! what should that tell anyone"??" my car to date on average loses acceleration at least 5 or 6 times a trip no matter how far I drive, it's extremely dangerous! thus, I now I have to rent a vehicle at partially my expense ( have extended warranty) it seems to me I shouldn't have to pay anything for a rental!! this is a Ford manufacturing issue, and in my opinion should be investigated for recall!!!

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated with the illumination of the wrench warning icon. The failure recurred three times when traveling at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who informed the contact that the failure was related to the throttle body. An unknown repair was performed on the vehicle however, the failure recurred after the repair. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent malfunction. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

I was accelerating from stop light. Attempting to reach 55 mph only got to about 45-50 mph..I then lost throttle response(no acceleration). Wrench light was on. Coasted to the side of highway, the engine idled a little rough. Very low RPM. Put the car in park and tried to rev the engine. No response, only idle, low RPM.then I turned the engine off, waited about a minute and restarted it. No more wrench light icon. No problems the rest of the day. I took the car into the dealer to test for codes, no codes were found. Was told to bring the car in when wrench icon is on to test for code. I only have this one car so I'm driving it every day, but I won't drive over 40 mph until the throttle is replaced.

While driving on a busy road in rush hour traffic going about 40-45 miles per hour my car engine was still running but would not accelerate. I looked down at the dash and the wrench light was on. I managed to coast out of the traffic and get to a safe spot. I tried to call dealer but they were not open yet. I sat with car still running for a few minutes to see if it would shift into gear but nothing happened. Engine still running but when gas pedal was pushed nothing happened. I feel this is a safety issue because the car just slows down with no warning and could have caused an accident. Not sure what I should do at this time so, I shut the car off and restarted it. It seemed to be working, so I started back on the road only to have it happen again. I turned the car off and back on again and it managed to get me to work. I have not gone to the dealer as of yet but it appears that the Fusion are having a throttle body issue. If I go to the dealer and the car is not acting up, I will be paying for them to tell me they can't find anything wrong. According to the complaints this is a major safety issue.

I traded in my Mercedes for a 2011 Ford Fusion with FFV to buy american. Everything was fine until up to the point that the car stalled & surges at 60 mph on the freeway. I limped into the freeway shoulder and stopped the car. My family has never been in this very dangerous situation before. I was very disappointed that a car with 30,000 miles will have this kind of a problem. I think Ford still has a problem with reliability. I'm going back to german cars.

While going 75 mph in the fast lane of a 4-lane highway Sunday afternoon, the car shifted hard, the wrench light came on, and the car would not accelerate. As the car slowed, it began lurching back and forth. We were able to pull off the road into a parking lot and the car continued to lurch after it was put in park. I turned car off and then back on. The starter turned over several times before the care started back up, but car made it the final 25 miles home without incident. Same manifestation of the issue Tuesday evening on the way home from work going about 25 mph in traffic. Same recovery. On my way to an offsite work meeting on Thursday I was going ~45 mph when the failure occurred. When I returned from the meeting 45 minutes later, the car had the same issue at ~50 mph. The dealership says the throttle body needs to be replaced, but that there are none available in the usa right now and that there is a 3-4 week back order. Though they seem to be replacing a lot of throttle bodies, Ford contends that this is not a problem.

I was on my way to work Friday, 6/21/13, traveling at 65mph and lost all power/acceleration in center lane on freeway. Unfortunately, I had to cross two lanes of heavy traffic to get to the right shoulder, while losing power. An amber wrench light was on along with the engine light. I put car in neutral, and put pressure on the gas pedal - no RPM's, no power - at this moment the engine begins to sputter and shake and I cannot keep the car running. I turned the car off and waited a few minutes. I started the car again, no dash indicator lights, and the engine acted normal when I put pressure on the gas pedal. Gas delivery and RPM's seemed appropriate. I entered freeway again and approximately 1.5 miles later, the same thing happened again. Amber wrench on and no power. Again, the engine is running very rough and then stalls. I am near my dealership, so it takes two more attempts, before I make it there. Now, it gets better. I am informed that it is my throttle body and there are 2000 parts on backorder from Michigan. It could be one week, maybe Wednesday, 6/26/13, and I would be on a waiting list with 8 other people. What!!!!! went back the next morning, Saturday, 6/22/13, and was given an update. It is possible that it could be up to two weeks for repair at over $500. I quickly research this issue, and find many owners of all different Ford models are having the same issue. Some are lucky enough to be under warranty. This seems to be a defective part and as a loyal consumer to Ford - the company needs to do right by its customers. I believe this is a safety issue for some owners, because a lot of us are traveling freeways and a loss of power in our vehicles can put us in a dangerous situation.

I was driving down the road and all of the sudden I loose acceleration power and a wrench symbol appeared on the dashboard. I was able to pull off the road. I had to turn off and restart the car to get going again. This has also happened two other times since with the same scenario. Local dealer diagnosed as a defective throttle body.

- Knoxville, TN, USA

The car suddenly loses power when driving. There is no control of acceleration. This dangerous if this does it while in traffic. The code on the error is PT1111 and PT1112. Ford has no parts available and on back order. Some one is going to be seriously injured because they will not be able to control their vehicle.

- Alexander City, AL, USA

At approximately 30 mph the car suddenly lost all throttle response, the car was driven to the side of the road and ignition turned off. The car immediately restarted and was driven approximately 20 miles. On the way to a Ford dealer while in the middle of a U-turn the throttle response was again lost, the ignition was turned off and the car again started normally......Ford diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle body which they did not have and had to be ordered.

I was driving in the high-speed lane on rt. 3N in Plymouth, MA when all of a sudden I had no power coming from the gas pedal. Luckily the traffic was not heavy at the time and there was enough momentum for me to be able to steer the car to the breakdown lane. As I was coasting to the roadside the wrench symbol light came on the dashboard. My passenger and I were able to come away from this dangerous incident shaken but unscathed. After the car was towed to the Ford dealer it was determined that the problem was a faulty electrical throttle body in a two year old car with less than 30,000 miles. After five days I am still waiting for the car to be fixed, because the part is backordered. By looking on the internet I now know why the part is backordered. If so many Ford are having a throttle body problem, why hasn't there been a recall issued for this part?

- Melrose, MA, USA

I was driving at a high rate of speed (55-65mph) when my cars gas pedal had no response. I had to cut across three lanes of traffic to pull into a parking lot all without acceleration ability. I was able to restart the car and continue driving only to have this happen again the next day. It turned out to be the throttle body in my 2011 Ford Fusion. P2111 and P2112 seem to be a faulty part. A number of people on forums and youtube seem to have had the same issue. I live in a heavily populated city and I could see this going a lot worse for a less experienced driver. Thank you

Twice within the same week while driving, the engine throttle suddenly disengaged. The first time I was making a left hand turn with oncoming traffic. Second time was driving on surface street which forced me to pull off the side of the road. Extremely dangerous!

- Brook Park, OH, USA

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the wrench warning icon illuminated and the accelerator pedal became unresponsive. The engine was turned off and upon restarting, resumed normally. The failure recurred twice.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

- Laurel, MD, USA

Traveling on Pennsylvania 476 South (toll road). Construction currently in area I was traveling so 2 lanes of traffic with no shoulder. Emergency pull off ramps located approximately every 2-3 miles along construction. Traveling during rush hour in am, pressed accelerator and received no response. Wrench light and check engine light appeared however car continued to run just with no power (later learned that this is what Ford calls "limp mode"). had just passed and emergency pull-off when this happened so had to drive at very low speed (approximately 10 miles per hour) to get to next emergency pull off 2 miles ahead. Very, very unsafe as I was blocking traffic on a major highway with no shoulder (jersey barriers on both sides of 2-lane highway). Managed to "limp" to emergency pull off without being hit from behind. Vehicle towed to Ford dealer and was diagnosed with needing a throttle body (known Ford problem for 2011 Ford Fusion vehicles)....if Ford is aware of this issue, why no recall? I was lucky as this incident happened in the worst possible area yet I was not hit from behind or injured.

*** this placed my family in danger. I had the gas pedal pushed to the floor and it would not go. It died. June 11, 2013 @ 8:15 pm: Driving from eugene to springfield. Everything was normal. I took the center city exit in springfield and the throttle control/transmission indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. So I did a test -I put the care in it idled normal and smoothly -I put the care in the idle sounded spotty like it was skipping and then it sounded wav Y. not smooth and even like it did in '. -I put the care in he idle sounded spotty like it was skipping and then it sounded wav Y. not smooth and even like it did in '. -I put the care in the idle sounded spotty like it was skipping and then it sounded wav Y. not smooth and even like it did in '. -I put the care in the idle sounded spotty like it was skipping and then it sounded wav Y. not smooth and even like it did in. -started the engine just like you normally do when you get into the car. The key acted like it was stuck a little bit before it returned to the normal position. -on the way home from springfield, at red lights the car idled spotty and wavy not smooth.
