Problems with 2011 Ford Fusion VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

My car engine "stalled" (the engine was running, but there was no power from the engine to accelerate) while i was driving and in the process of increasing my speed up to the 55 mph speed limit after turning onto a major road. since there was no engine power to accelerate, i had to let the car roll to the shoulder where i pulled over and restarted it. this has happened about 4 times in the last 6 monthsand i am very fearful that the car will stall while i am on a high speed, high traffic, multi-lane highway, which i use to drive to and from work every day. *tr

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. *tr

I was driving in traffic and my car just stopped no warning and not even able to coast it over to the shoulder. my car is out of warranty but only 2 years old i am very angry as this was a very dangerous issues and almost caused a wreck. i feel these throttle bodies should be recalled, i mean the car is only 2 years old! *tr

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". *tr

I was traveling about 45mph when the car just shut off. had to coast to side of the side of the road almost got rear ended. this has happened at least three more times in less than a week. the service department claims to know nothing about this problem. i'm sure the service managers are told to act dumb about this issue. i have read that other people have had this same issue. what will it take to get action, someone hurt or killed?? *tr

The first episode occurred when leaving a parking spot. car would not go more than 2 mph and was chugging. the others (4-5 incidents) happened while driving, often at 30-50 mph. sometimes it would be after a turn and during acceleration, others would be simply driving down the road. car would stall, yellow wrench light comes on, and i would have to stop, shift to park and turn off the car, then re-start. it would be fine for a few days, and another episode would happen. *tr

The first time it happened i was on a very busy highway, going up hill, to a family members house. the car stopped accelerating. i was almost hit my several cars, thankfully they missed me. then i turned the car off and then back on and it worked fine. the second incident happened a couple days later on another busy highway on my home from work. once again it stopped accelerating and i was thankfully close to were i could pull off the interstate before getting hit. i then took it to the ford dealership and had to spend almost $600 on replacing the throttle body, which they knew had been defective when they sold me the car!! *tr

I drive on freeway and light came on. and i couldn't accelerate. my rpms dropped and so i need pulled off several cars need to brake because my speed reduce to fast and put me on dangerous situation. *tr

The vehicle started to lose power while i was driving 45mph on a major roadway. i hit the accelerator to try and make it go, but the car continued to stall. luckily i was able to avoid getting hit head on or rear ended. i let the car sit for and hour before i started it. i made it about 5 miles before it lost all power and stalled again. i was almost rear ended again. the only way ford will fix it is if it registers a fault code which it is not doing. it just loses the ability to accelerate and stalls within a minute or less. they told me i just have to drive it. it is not safe to drive until they fix the problem. *tr

While driving on the freeway the car went an idle speed forcing me to get off of the freeway at reduced speed. tried to restart car several times. would only idle rough. let it sit 1/2 hour waiting for aaa ran ok after another restart. repeated several times since. once i was stalled in the middle of a traffic controlled intersection. was told i need a new throttle body and they are back ordered could take 6 weeks before one would be available because of long list of orders. this says it is a major design/manufacture fault/issue. i feel it should be recalled and replaced free if there are that many issues with this item. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, there was a sudden loss of power. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic throttle body needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 42,000. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration power. the check engine light was illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the was able to restart the vehicle. the contact took the vehicle to a repair center where a diagnostic test was performed with codes revealing a defect with the throttle body. the failure mileage was 52,000.

I have a 2011 ford fusion 3.0 l v6. i was driving down the highway with my 4 yr old, when the engine lost all acceleration power and an orange wrench light illuminated my dashboard. i was in the fast lane and had to cross 3 lanes of traffic in a disabled car to get to the shoulder! i would hit the gas pedal with no response and it was not shifting right at all. i cut the ignition and let it sit for a couple min while i looked through the manual to see what the wrench light was all about. when i turned it back on the light was still there and again , not shifting right. i let it sit for another 10 min and started it again. the wrench light was gone so i drove home. took it to the dealership and they said something about a sensor and the computer needed replacement.it was under warranty so i didn't really pay too much attention , but when i went online to see if it's happened to others..i was unpleasantly surprised to see that there are hundreds of other complaints on the same exact issue! as another commenter recommended, i called the ford consumer's hotline at 800-392-3673 to see if there's anything being done. the rep told me there's no recalls and all she can do is document it and to call her back if i need anything else...really? a car with no power on the highway is obviously a safety concern and with this many complaints i'm really surprised ford and the national highway traffic safety administration hasn't recalled this faulty part.does someone need to get hurt or worse, killed first? *tr

1st: at stop light went green and i started to accelerate, the engine went into idle and i lost speed control. i managed to limp across the road and stop. placed in park shutoff the engine and restarted worked normal. 6/30/13 2nd: moving at road speed (posted limit 35) engine went to idle and i lost speed control, attempted to shutoff engine in neutral and restart problem continued. pulled off road placed in park, shutoff engine and restarted worked normal. 7/2/13 3rd: moving at road speed (posted limit 45) engine went to idle and i lost speed control, pulled onto side road placed in park, shutoff engine and restarted worked normal. 7/7/13 4th and 5th: when turning onto road to residence, engine went to idle and i lost speed control stopped on road, placed in park, shutoff engine and restarted worked normal.7/7/13 & 7/14/13. *tr

I was driving down the road and the car just lost power. i would step on the gas and it would just barely move. i had to coast to a side road. i turned it off and then started it back up. it went a couple of blocks and did the same thing. then tried it again and it would not stay running. the check engine light came on. *tr

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. *tr

My wife was driving vehicle at about 65 mph in morning rush hour traffic. while traveling yellow wrench light came on and vehicle slowed down while traveling in the far left lane (fast lane). had to safely get the car to side of the road as it coasted while traffic still maintained their normal speed. after removing key and letting vehicle sit for a couple minutes, put key back in ignition and started the vehicle back up. proceeded with no issues. called dealership and made an appointment for 7/1/2013. was told that there were no codes and could not get vehicle to perform our stated issue. was told it may be the throttle body and that they would order one (we are looking at the minimum a two week wait). and that they would not guarantee that this would fix the problem because there were no codes for them to go off of. it should be noted that our extended service contract does not cover this and that we would be looking at around a $400.00 repair. if we would of had preferred service plan that it would of been covered (imagine that!). so today my wife calls me again to tell me she is on the side of the highway because the issue happened again! and on top of this issue she now had a flat tire probably due to having to coast the vehicle to the side of the highway. we met up and changed vehicles. i proceeded to drive the vehicle back to work, but never made it due to the vehicle not wanting to operate and yellow wrench coming on along with check engine light. had vehicle towed back to dealership where they offered a loaner car while we wait for part to arrive with no estimated eta? a huge safety concern that ford seems to not care about and has a casual "we will get to it, when we get to it" mentality"!?!? *tr

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 fusions 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. *tr

I was driving and i lost power- i was unable to accelerate, car stalled causing cars behind me to swerve off road to avoid hitting my car. the dealership says it is the throttle body sensor and there is a nationwide shortage of parts. *tr

6 times in the past 9 days, the ford fusion has been driving at various speeds (25 mph to 65 mph) and suddenly a "wrench" warning light has illuminated on the dash, and simultaneously the car seems to lose all power to the wheels. depressing the pedal doesn't result in any acceleration or to maintain speed, but the rpm's don't increase either. this is very unsafe. in one of the incidents the car was in the left hand lane of a major highway, traveling at 65 mph, and had to be guided over onto the left median as it decelerated with traffic piling up behind. the car can always be turned off, then re-started, put back in drive, and then functions normally. this seems to be the same throttle body issue that is widely reported on ford fusion forum websites. the car was bought used, but has been driven for almost 1 year and 9,000 miles and this issue had never appeared before 9 days ago. *tr

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. *tr

2011 fusion w/ 3.0 liter 6cyl. while traveling at approximately 50 mph the engine suddenly bogged down. i pressed the gas pedal and nothing happened. i was able to pull over to the side and the engine was still running. a wrench light came on. i put the car in park and tried the gas pedal again with no response. i turned the engine off, waited a few seconds, then turned it back on. i was able to drive home, then to the ford dealership with no incident. i was told that the problem was the throttle body which is on national back order. ford would not cover the repair even though car was just over the warranty mileage limit. i found out that the nhtsa started an investigation on this issue in february 2013 and ford is aware of the multiple complaints of this same problem. i was lucky no truck was behind me since my car slowed quickly and suddenly with no warning. the internet is filled with complaints of this same issue. please do something before someone is killed! *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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 fords are having a throttle body problem, why hasn't there been a recall issued for this part? *tr

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. *tr

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 *tr

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. *tr

Was driving 65 when the wrench light came on and the gas pedal went dead. got pulled over and car was idling very rough. turned off for 2 minutes and after a hard start the car ran normal again. then it happened again that evening as i was just pulling out my driveway. i was totally unaware of this problem until i read about all the complaints on this web site. i took it to my dealership and guess what, bad throttle body!!!! my dealership is pretty good and they fixed me up in a rental loaner car while they waited for 5 days to get the new part. i've had my fusion back for 10 days now and its been good and actually feels a little more responsive. a friend of mine suggested a call ford's consumer's hotline 800-392-3673 which i called a week ago and ford gave me a case number. i told the rep i thought ford should at least give me some credit for the repair with the throttle body history and they should step up and do a recall on this before someone gets killed. ford said they would call me in 4 business days. that was a week ago, didn't hear a word so i called them again today about my case. they said they checked with the dealership and that the dealership had already given me a discount by only charging me $500 on a $900 repair. amazing i was quoted $500 for the repair the day i brought it in. i told her that my last 4 vehicle purchases were new fords and i'm seeing an end coming to our relationship if they failed to act on this throttle body thing. my impression is that ford is in complete denial and if they don't think this is a safety issue i suggest that they should experience it on the interstate in the center lane during rush hour traffic. *tr

*** 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. *tr

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. *tr

** i was giving it gas before it just died and it seemed like the gas was not getting to the engine to make it go. it put my family is danger!! something i would never get back if i lost. june 11, 2013 @ 7:30 pm: driving from springfield to 13the street in eugene. everything was normal, but then when i made a right turn onto 13th street then about 1 blocks later the throttle control/transmission' indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. -i put the care in park -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. *tr

I was driving on the highway with the cruise control set at 65mph. the car jerked and the cruise kicked off and i lost the ability to accelerate. after the dealership service department looked at the car i was told that the throttle body need replaced. however, the throttle body is on national backorder with no release date. *tr

2300 rpm, transmission lurches, no throttle response. i have to pull over and cut the ignition off to reset the sensor. happened multiple times and finally the check engine light glowed. i went to the ford dealership they said the throttle sensor was bad. i pay them to replace the whole throttle body, which i read online is constantly recurring. not covered in warranty and the number of times this has happened, ford should be responsible for a faulty part. not me. *tr

Driving on highway, left lane at 72 mph, car made a clunking noise and shuddered, instantly lost ability to accelerate engine, tach dropped to 720 rpm, transmission acted as if it was in neutral. pulled off highway to shoulder. engine continued to run, but no response from accelerator. *tr

My car keeps stalling , after taking to mechanic it was diagnostic tested with throttle acenture control system that was defective unable to get part from ford corp. was told they are on back order have to wait several weeks more. to many ford fusion need part there should be an investigation that leads into recall its not fair to us buyers i have personally called ford dealers in 5 surrounding states for 4 days no one has the part nor for canada or ford mexico something wrong here. *tr

I was driving home from work when my car started to slow down and wouldn't speed up after applying the gas pedal. then it started to lurch, or jerk forward, and the 'wrench' indicator light came on. i was able to pull over and apply the brakes, which worked but were grinding. i left the engine running while waiting for a tow truck, for fear of not being able to get the engine started again. the problem was a bad/faulty throttle, which was repaired. i have seen similar complaints on the nhtsa website and, due to the dangerous nature of these incidents, i urge a recall be issued for all applicable vehicles. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the throttle body would need to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileage was 67,000.

The problem has to do with the gas pedal and throttle body. merged on to highway, accelerated to speed, set cruise. a few seconds later, cruise disengaged and speed began dropping. when i pushed the gas pedal to attempt to accelerate, there was no response. it was if the car shut off but it hadn't. after i came to a stop and tried to start moving again, the gas pedal again had no response and i could only move at the speed the car pulled itself and it seemed to be lurching forward. i pulled over and this time shut the car off. when i restarted it, the problem was gone and it worked normally. the next day, same problem all over again, this time in town at about 30mph. mechanic tells me it's a $468 repair. i'm only 6,000 miles past the warranty period. i was also told the parts are nationally out of stock, which is a good sign it's a known ford defect. *tr

I was driving home from school (this has happened before, just not as bad) and my car stopped responding. the wrench light came on and the check engine light came on. i was on a really busy road, so i had to pray that i would not get hit. i turned off the car, and tried to restart it, but it did not want to restart. i sat for a few seconds and was finally able to get it restarted. this happened numerous (probably 6-8 times) on my 12 mile trip home. i took it to the shop this morning and found out it is the throttle body. i just looked it up online and have found out this is a common issue, and that the dealerships (when the car is under warranty) act like they don't know what it wrong. this is not right. there needs to be a recall! i don't have a warranty now, and i took my car to the dealership before the warranty was up and they said there was nothing wrong with it multiple times!!!! *tr

While driving roughly 45 mph vehicle suddenly began shaking and dropped speed quickly and drastically to less than 15 mph. this happened repeatedly after turning car off and back on. car would still run no problems under 25. *tr

electronic throttle body failure. i was driving down a major highway and my car lost power, the wrench light laminated. after trying to get off to the side of the road i shut the car off and waited a min then restarted the car. then i proceeded on my journey. i took the car to a friend of mine who is a mechanic and had him run a diagnostic on the car and no codes show up. i have done some research on the internet to see if anyone else has had the same problem. apparently i am not the only person with this defective part. looks like ford would grow a set of balls and make this a mandatory recall. it does cause a safety issue when you lose the ability to move your automobile about. you can not go any wear no matter how hard you press on the gas pedal. the dam car does not move. i guess it will take some one getting injured very badly or killed, and ford getting a law suite before any sort of recall will be done. if anything should happen to me i will be the first in line to file a law suite because ford is well aware of the problem but they chose to do nothing about it thus putting millions of peoples lives at stake. *tr

While driving the highway with cruise set at 75 mph, my car suddenly lost power, and i experienced no response while stepping on the accelerator. though this was very scary in the traffic i was in, i was eventually able to coast to the right shoulder (after upsetting many drivers around me) and came to a stop on the right shoulder. after a minute, i decided to shut off my car, and was able to restart, and drive as nothing happened. unfortunately, i experienced the same situation the next day, only at a lower speed (55 mph), and not with as much traffic. on the 3rd day, while on my way to the dealer, it happened again. after diagnosis, ford says i experienced a p2112 code, and almost 3 weeks later, ford still has my car because the part (throttle body assembly) is not available; completely unacceptable. *tr

Note: the ford dealership could not find and engine code may 17, 2013 @ 2:00 pm: pulling out of the parking lot at work for lunch.the "throttle control/transmission" indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. -i put the care in ?p? park -started the engine and it acted normal -took it in to ford,they said that they could not find a code related to that and instructed me that the next time it happens to drive directly to kendall for them to read the ?code? off of it. june 11, 2013 @ 7:30 pm: driving from springfield to 13the street in eugene. everything was normal, but then when i made a right turn onto 13th street then about 1 blocks later?the ?throttle control/transmission? indicator lit up, the car became silent and all power left. -i put the care in ?p? park -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. 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 ?p? ??it idled normal and smoothly -i put the care in ?r-n-d-m? ??the idle sounded spotty like it was skipping and then it sounded wavy. not smooth and even like it did in ?p?. -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. *tr

Tl* 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.

Tl* 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 vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer three times on the third visit; the technician was able to detect a trouble cod e and replaced the throttle body. the manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

I was on the expressway with the cruise set at 72. the car itself shut off the cruise and began immediately de-accelerating. pressing the gas pedal had no effect - the engine remained in idle. the wrench bar indicator lit up. i pulled off the side (huge potential safety issue had there been traffic around) and shut the car down in neutral. restarted - same issue - would not accelerate - it was as if the throttle was disconnected. i put the car in park, shut down, waited 2 minutes, and restarted. all functioned normally. ran the vehicle health report test and no indication was made of an electrical issue. . *tr

Stopped at an intersection and went to accelerate and had no throttle control the wrench light came on. car idled through intersection and rolled into gas station. when i then turned it off and then restarted it and the wrench light was gone. car seemed fine for approximately two weeks, and then the same thing happened again. this is a very big safety issue. *tr

On friday evening (5/10/2013), i had just exited the interstate when the wrench light came on and the car suddenly appeared to stall (engine was running, but had no acceleration). with traffic stacking up behind me, i managed to get the car off the road and turned it off. after sitting for a minute or two, i restarted the car and continued down the road. the car died again less than two miles later. vehicle was taken to the dealer the on following monday 5/13/2013 (after sitting all weekend). the dealer checked the car and determined the throttle body was bad. as of today, 5/26/2013, the car is still at the dealer waiting on a replacement part. *tr
