The steering wheel starting shaking as the car lost power and eventually completely stalled. after several minutes it started but we didn't even get a mile further before the same thing happened again. as this was happening the check engine light came on and a little wrench lamp lit up on the instrument panel. after about 20 minutes we were able to start the car again and drive it to a ford dealership several miles away where they replaced the throttle body 4 days later. it took them that long to get the part in because they had trouble finding one since so many other people were having the same problem. *tr
I was driving to my friends and all of a sudden my car stalled on me. it wouldn't move when i pushed on the gas it just slowed down while my battery light wrench light and engine light came on. it was dead. i shut the car off and turned it back on and it was fine like nothing happened. less than a mile it did it again on a busy road. i was freaking out and worried about my life on the busy road. so i shut it off again and started and lucky i made to the ford service before it did it again and decided to have them check it out. the throttle body gad to be replaced and was the reason why my car was acting up. i thank god that i wasn't on the freeway around rush hour time. *tr
Traffic slowed suddenly from about 65mph to about 20-30 mph so i had to apply my brakes very suddenly and hard to avoid rear ending someone. traffic kept moving and i regained a speed of about 40 mph just after this i felt the car make a sudden hard jerk and car started decelerating on it's own. i tried pushing the gas petal, but nothing happened it would not speed up it kept loosing speed and eventually got down to 1 - 2 mph. i pulled the car over into the edge of the right lane so i was partially on grass and on part of the road. i put my hazards on and kept coasting because it felt like the car was going to stall it was shaking and jerking like it wanted to stall out. i stopped the car and left it running i was afraid if i shut the car completely off that it would not re-start again. i then drove the car home with my hazards on doing 1 to 5 mph on the way home for about 2 miles. the wrench tool light had come on when this happened. once i got the car home i shut it off and restarted and just drove back and forth in my driveway. i shut the car off and on about 3 times and then it seemed to be running normal and the tool wrench light shut off. not going to drive it until i can get it to the ford dealer to have it looked at. *tr
I was driving down my local street at approx 25 mph. the engine lost power and was stuck in a rough idle. this has happened at least 6 times now. this is a very dangerous situation that is known to ford (faulty throttle body). someone is going to die soon or get hurt in an accident if the car loses power like this. there are hundreds of complaints on the internet about this known problem. ford should do a recall now! *tr
I was at a left turn light and when i drove through the light to make the left turn my car started shaking and the wrench light came out. when i was hitting the gas it didn't go so i pulled over and turned the car off. i waited a while and turned it on and it started up fine. so i started driving a little more and it did it again. i turned the car off for a while and i turned it back on and was able to drive it home since i lived close by. the wrench light turned off but the engine light stayed on. i got up that morning and drove it to a neighborhood shop and they said the only thing wrong with it was a security error and that it was fine. i picked it up from the shop and i was able to get down the street when my car cut off. radio and all the interior lights were on but the car itself cut off and the battery light showed up. i was able to again drive it home. i did some research and i didn't realize how many other people were having this same issue and they said it's the throttle body which would cost about 600 - 800 dollars to fix. there should be a recall on this because this is happening to way too many people and this is a three year old car. i had my daughter in the car both times. *tr
This has happened on many occasions, from driving in stop and go traffic to driving on a highway. after driving the vehicle for some time, a wrench light comes on on the dashboard, there is no fuel going to the car and when i pull to the side, the car stutters like it wants to go and then stops again. after turning the car off and starting it again, the car drives like nothing ever happened. i have gone online and there are a lot of people who were complaining about the same thing and ford has not recalled the part. i guess someone has to die in an accident for them to take action. *tr
I was driving down a highway when the engine suddenly lost power without warning. i quickly went from 70 mph to 50 mph and continued to slow. the vehicle engine light came on the instrument panel and my rpms dropped below 500. i was able to safely pull over to the shoulder. i turned the car off, waited a few minutes, and started it. the car started and idled just fine. i revved the engine a few times. rpms stayed in the normal range. i put the car in gear and started to move. immediately the engine light came back on and the rpms dropped again. i had the car towed to a repair shop where they informed me the throttle body had failed and it required replacement. the tow and repairs cost me over $500. *tr
I have a 2010 ford fusion se 2.5 and my check engine light came on along with a wrench light and my car went in to "limp mode" and my car lost power as i was turning left with traffic coming right at me, i was barely able to make it across the road without being hit!
Driving on 295 n bound at approximately 70 mph the engine just stalled...the little wrench light came on along with the engine light. i tried giving it gas but i could not get it to go so i had to fight the traffic to get over to the shoulder and shut it off. i attempted to start it and on the second try it did but felt like it was running on 2 cylinders.so i let it sputter along the shoulder to the exit where i shut it off and let it sit for a few minutes then tried it again, it started and i was able to get it to a advanced auto parts store where they plugged in the tester and got a throttle actuator error code.i got it started and it drove ok till i got home but haven't used it yet. this car did have a problem a few weeks ago but i thought it was just a glitch because it just ran rough and then went back to normal. now i'm reading about other fusions having the same problem. *tr
Throttle body quit working while driving at 65 mph. engine dropped to idle and would not respond to accelerator pedal. wrench light came on at instrument panel. coasted across 5 lanes of high speed traffic to reach the road shoulder. after turning off the car and turning it back on the throttle started working again. dealer says that there is a nationwide back order for the replacement throttle body to fix this problem but there is no recall active. *tr
My car stalled 3 times while driving at various speeds. took it to local repair shop. shop was unable to obtain part #ds7z*9e926*d throttle body from 11 dealerships until mid august. i was concerned that any replacement part we would find would also be defective and i didn't want to pay for the repair twice. i called my dealership directly and was told that they had 8 parts in stock, but they were "service only" parts for the dealership service department. i said i already had time and labor invested at the shop and didn't want to have to pay twice. i also asked if the parts they had in stock were "good parts" and asked why they were on backorder almost a month. not having my car repaired was not an option and i made that clear to the dealership parts department as well as the service department. they finally agreed to sell me the part and assured me that the parts they had in stock were "good parts". i kept all of my paperwork as well as the defective part. seems like a strong candidate for a recall if 11 dealerships were unwilling to sell this part to local repair shops. *tr
I was driving my 2010 ford fusion on highway 31, it was very cloudy and hard rain was coming down fast. i reached 40 miles an hour after almost pushing my foot so hard on the peddle. all the sudden the car started losing power, slowly going down. wrench light came on, vehicle started shaking, and right at the best time i hit the brake and the car turned off, it would not turn back on. i had to have my vehicle towed to the ford dealership. my vehicle has been in the shop a total of 4 times and this problem is still not fixed, i am so uneasy when driving my car, hoping it will not turn off and leave me stranded. i am very scared to drive my vehicle, it is the only way of transportation for me. i am very upset about everything and it still is not fixed. terrible vehicle, terrible service from the ford service people. totally devastated that i make a car payment on my vehicle which is covered under warranty and i am in harm. *tr
While driving on the highway, vehicle experienced immediate, sudden and complete loss of engine power (engine would not respond to throttle depression and remained at idle) with associated yellow maintenance wrench illuminated on instrument cluster. driver had to execute a dangerous decelerating 4 lane change to stop vehicle on a limited and narrow shoulder. after restarting vehicle, the light disappeared, and the vehicle was able to be driven before same mechanical failure occurred after 1 mile. vehicle was driven 10 miles to nearest ford dealer at slow speeds and back roads. power loss occurred approximately 8 more times while enroute to dealer. extremely dangerous and insidious mode of failure without warning. could have easily resulted in a fatal crash if it had occurred during a highway merge or crossing traffic situation. conspicuously convenient timing of failure 2 months and 1000 miles after warranty expiration. after dialogue with ford customer service, ford did not reimburse or cover any of repair costs. *tr
I had just left the dealership after getting an oil change. after driving less than 1 mile the wrench light came on and my car decelerated. i immediately went back to the dealership. they ran a test and said that it passed, but it my be the throttle body. they told me to try again and if i have problems to call. i left again and the same thing happened. i called the service associate and they had me bring it back. the throttle body was replaced. *tr
I was driving on my way to work when my car lost power i pulled over turned the car off. upon restarting it the check engine light was on, i preceded to work. when i got off of work and went home the check engine light was off. a week later the symptoms happened again this time it was more then once. close to a total of 10 times in a one hour period. *tr
I was driving my car and had gone approx 1-1/2 - 2 miles down the road and the car was driving fine then all of a sudden my car started to hesitate and would barely move. i pulled over on a side road and turned my car off and restarted it sounded fine i turned around and pulled onto main road again and again the car started puttering and would barely move i managed to get car off the road. i had it towed to tasca ford where they said the throttle body needed to be replaced. it has been a week now and i still don't have my car and they can't tell me when the new part will come in because it is being manufactured? they are also stating they have 18 - 20 cars waiting for this same part. *tr
Three times, the car hesitated and nearly stalled, then would not accelerate normally. it was stopped and restarted and was able to be driven home but traffic was disrupted on a major thoroughfare and very scary. when we took it to the dealer, they said it was a throttle body problem and was unsafe to be driven home. unfortunately parts are back ordered and we are without a vehicle because they said it is unsafe to drive, as is. *tr
First incident was vehicle stalled while entering a intersection from a stop sign. stalled half way into intersection and had a near miss of being hit do to loss of power and other traffic not having to stop in their direction. car was dieseling when it came to a stop ,had to be shut off, then restarted with no problems or indicator lights afterward. this same stalling has happened at highway speeds of 60 mph + and on side roads at 30 mph. from stops to full power going up hills or trying to pass another car. no power to move car exist once it has happened ,you must come to a complete stop , shut completely off and then restart. this has happened at least a dozen times over last few weeks.took to dealer today and was told throttle body is showing a fault and parts can only be received by overnight delivery "as this part is in very high demand and they can't order one in and get it by regular delivery". *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated that the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. the vin was not available. the failure and the current mileages were 53,000. *tr
Car was running but would not accelerate after a stop. gas pedal was inoperative. electronic throttle body. *tr
As i was driving the car the engine lost power and the check engine light and wrench light came on this happened at least 10 times in a 24 mile drive (to and from work) auto zone says it is the throttle body sticking. i went to carcomplaints.com and my car is not the only 2010 fusion experiencing this issue i feel ford needs to recall these vehicles and fix the throttle body before someone gets killed. *tr
Traveling in center lane of five lane expressway, i-85 in atlanta. car suddenly lost power and starting shaking, drifted over through traffic to curb and shut off. there were multiple warning lights on but when i cranked it up it ran ok again for several miles then did it again. this happened a total of four times on my 38 mile commute home. *tr
Driving down highway at 70 mph, wrench light came out, car died down to 900 rpm and fluctuated erratically with no gas pedal response at all. dodged several cars trying to avoid rear end collision to pull off side of road to turn off and turn car back on, problem then went away and happened again roughly 20 miles again down the highway. car will not drive past 20 miles without having an issue. *tr
Traveling down the road at 60 mph on a major highway and the car stalls....this has been repeatedly happening in the last two months. at least 6 times in july and so far 4 times in august. what has to happen for ford to do a[xxx] recall on this part (throttle body and circuit board) that is causing this, a death???? i pray its not mine! we just bought this car from widricks auto sales in watertown new york in march of this year and this is whats happening....i will not drive the car until it is fixed because whether ford cares or not it is an accident waiting to happen!!!! i am so frustrated that a company this big doesnt give a[xxx] about people that buy their products enough to do a recall on this part and replace it for nothingwhen ford knows about the problem!!!!!! ...seriously what is the difference between one complaint and a thousand???? what about the lives of drivers and passengers of vehicles that ford know have this problem??? can you say law suit ford people\ information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
As i was driving on the hwy, the car would not accelerate and died, except the power was still on. i was unable to accelerate and had to put my flashers on and pull over, although this hwy doesn't have a shoulder, just a grass median. there is a curb so i was still forced to just come to a stop in the middle of the hwy but luckily i was able to get in the left lane. as the car comes to a stop, it shakes. i have to turn power off by turning key, then turn key to start car again. it turns over a couple times, then starts and i'm able to drive again. it did this again 2 more times while driving that same evening. the next day, nothing, then the third day, same thing. now the check engine light is on and remains. of course when this happened each time, i was on the hwy and had my kids in the back seat, ages 7 and 9. i mostly feared not being able to start the car again as i was unaware of what the issue was at first. after research and using a diagnostic tool, i have learned it is the throttle body. please provide recall instructions so that i may be able to get this repaired at no cost to me asap. thank you. *tr
The morning of july 8, 2013 i was driving at approximately 70 mph on a major interstate (with construction) when my car stalled. my check engine light was flashing and the throttle control/transmission wrench flashing. i at least had enough momentum to go about 100 feet to where there was a shoulder that they were not doing construction on. i ended up shutting my car off and waiting a few seconds. i then turned my car back on to see if it still had the problem. everything appeared to be working fine. i ended up getting back on the interstate and about 5 miles down it happen to do the same thing. at this point i got off the freeway ' shut my car off again. this time i turned my car back on and my check engine light was still flashing. i was about one mile from a ford dealership. i took it there and found out that it was throttle body. the part is on back order and the dealer ship will not receive the part for 7 to 10 business days. this doesn't include the days that it is going to take them to install the part. i am nervous to drive my car even after this part is fixed. i was driving at 70 mph and could of easily got into an accident with all the construction that was going around. i hope that ford takes these complaints serious and takes some action. someone can get seriously hurt with this issue and i hope it doesn't take that for ford to take action! *tr
Engine appeared to cut out at 2 different instances today. first time was when turning right out of the neighborhood and the 2nd time was when merging with traffic. in both cases, the car lost all power and did not seem to even coast well. i had a blinking wrench on the dash and was lucky to have not been in an accident. car was able to restart after pulling to the side of the road and putting it into park. this has been a sporadic ongoing issue for the last few weeks and will eventually cause an accident unless it is fixed. *tr
i was going down the freeway at approximately 65 mph, and out of nowhere my car lost power and began to decrease speed. i tried to press the accelerator and there was no response. i pulled to the side of the road and put the car in park and it was very rough idling. i turned off the car, waited a few seconds and turned the car back on and it seemed fine. now this has happened to me at least 20 times in the last few months, at random times and speeds. the scariest one for me was in a very busy intersection and my car did this 4 times trying to get through the intersection. i would really like to see this get fixed as soon as possible before someone really does get hurt. *tr
Car engine unexpectedly jerked and rpms locked at 1000 no matter what was done with gas pedal. did not recover until turned off and then on. repeated over the next several days. also engine would stall when trying to idle. resolution was replacement of faulty throttle body assembly. *tr
Like many others, experienced throttle body failure at highway speed. narrowly avoided accident as i maneuvered vehicle off highway. part is on national back order with no estimate on availability. numerous emails to ford with no response. *tr
While driving on at least 6 occasions, vehicle stopped propulsing and had no throttle. a code appeared indicating a throttle/ transmission problem. i contacted ford, and they indicated this is a known issue with my make and model, and not covered under warranty. after researching this online there are so many problems, the part has been back-ordered months at a time, more than once. this problem has been noted in the 4 and 6 cylinder engines all trim levels. i was going over a bridge and feared for my life. their should be a recall. this a major safety issue because the vehicle stops without warning, and a driver could be anywhere. lemon law? thanks in advance. *tr
2010 ford fusion: going down the freeway at 70 and then all of a sudden started losing power, no acceleration and down to 55 at which time i was able to get to the side of the road before it died. i let it sit a couple of minutes and tried to start it - started fine. the ford garage put it on the diagnostic machine but i was told because the check engine light did not come on there was no memory to show what may have happened. it ran fine for about two weeks and then the same thing happened. took it back to ford - but was told again - nothing they could do because the diagnostic does not show what the problem is. after my own research on the web i have found that this is probably a problem with the throttle body assembly and that ford knows about - but my local garage does not want to fix it without knowing for sure that is the problem. i feel very unsafe in this vehicle - maybe the next time i will not be able to get off the freeway/road before it completely stalls. *tr
My daughter was returning from a vacation in northwest florida and was driving through opp, alabama, when her 2010 fusion starting jerking badly. the check engine and throttle control warning lights came on. she pulled over, turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, and restarted. as soon as she put in gear, the car starting shaking and she was unable to accelerate. she had to have the car towed to a ford dealership in elba, alabama. the problem was diagnosed as a bad throttle body. she was informed the part was on back order and that it could take a couple of weeks to receive. with no other option, she was forced to rent a car to continue her trip home. the rental car options were slim and it appears this episode will cost her almost $900 including rental car costs (with a $200 one way fee). this doesn't even include the costs to return to the dealership to pick up the car when it's repaired. based on researching and the learning of many other similar experiences that other fusion owners encountered with the exact same problem, it is clear ford has a defective part and should address with a recall. *tr
While driving on a crowded highway the vehicle lost all ability to accelerate or maintain speed. wrench light was illuminated, car did not stall. once brought to the dealership no code was available. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated that the vehicle independently engaged into limp mode while driving 70 mph. the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts and was powered off. the vehicle resumed normally once restarted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic or repairs performed. the failure and current mileage was 75,000.
I started to pull into an intersection after getting the green light and the car suddenly lost acceleration. i let off the gas and tried again and the car vibrated a little and rolled to a stop in the middle of the intersection. i put it in park and turned it off and back on and it started and pulled away another 50 feet before it happened again. i was able to coast out of the way of traffic. it was towed to a ford dealer and they replaced the throttle body the next day. after leaving the shop it had one jolt during acceleration but no further issue that day. the following morning i tried to start the car and it had no electrical power at all. they still don?t know what the issue is. *tr
After driving over 50 miles, my car stalled and the wrench light came on. i pulled over and let it idle, but it ran rough. once i turned it off and then back on, it ran okay. it stalled again later in that same trip. then it stalled again twice on my way home. luckily, i was on a non busy road with a shoulder. then it seemed to run fine for a few days, but after driving over 50 miles, it happened again. i was nervous because once it stalled as i was turning onto a road without a shoulder. i was concerned that a car would come over the hill and hit me while i was turning it off and restarting it. when i took it to the dealer, i was told that the problem was with the throttle body. when they ordered the part, initially, i was told the part was on backorder and wouldn't be in until mid-august. obviously, there is a major problem with this part when it takes so long to get the part. totally unacceptable to wait that long for a part. now today, my sister-in-law, who also has a 2010 fusion started having the same problem and she has a lot less miles on her car (about 40,000). reading all of the issue others are having with this part on the internet, i feel that there should be a recall on this part and my replacement should be covered. *tr
I was driving in the right lane of a major, heavily traveled (with many tractor trailers), divided highway, traveling at a speed of between 55 and 60 mph. all of a sudden, without warning, the engine seemed to shut down. i could not accelerate; the engine would not respond. this was a very scary situation as trucks and cars had to break, while i steered the car to the narrow shoulder. the car didn't seem to lose power steering and the engine was still running (tach showed 900 to 1000 rpm). however, engine was totally unresponsive to my depressing the accelerator. i shut off the engine, put the flashers on and waited a few minutes and attempted to start the engine. the engine started normally, and i was able to pull out onto the highway. however, after driving about one-quarter mile, the same engine shutdown occurred. called aaa and had the car towed. the auto repair center checked for trouble codes. the throttle body assembly had failed and had to be replaced. i have not had a problem since the repair was made. subsequent to the repair, i checked on the internet to see if anyone else had this problem. i was very surprised to see that this problem is not uncommon to ford owners. i was gratified to see that your agency has opened an investigation into the matter. i called customer service at ford motor company to see if there has been a recall. ford customer service said there was no recall and did not acknowledge that there is a problem with the throttle body unit. i then called the service department of a local ford dealership. the service rep said that "they have seen problems with the throttle body unit", but confirmed that there has been no recall. *tr
I was stopped at a light when trying to accelerate through the intersection the car acted like it was getting no gas. it was a rainy day and i assumed the undercarriage had gotten it wet. i stuttered through the intersection and was able to pull the car over and stop the car. after sitting for 5 minutes i was able to restart the car and get off the road into a parking lot. i then let it sit for an hour and was able to make it home the 10 miles without incident. i drove the car for 2 more days without incident, then on 7-5-2013 during a 30 mile trip it did the same thing. stopped at a light and suddenly the car acted like it could get no gas. we parked it for an hour and made it home. the following day when trying to take it to the dealer, car would speed up and slow down on a sidestreet! was a scary 2 mile drive to the dealership. after 9 hours they figured out it was the "throttle arm". after the diagnosis i find that this is a common issue with my 3 year old car. i bought the car new, and having to spend $427 to get this fixed is ridiculous. there should be a recall on this part. *tr
I was driving down the highway at 70 mph and my car stalled. the wrench symbol lit up and my check engine light came on. i pulled over, shut the engine off, and started it again. it happened again about 5 minutes later, and has continued to happen several times.
Traveling aprox 60mph on highway. lost power. yellow wrench symbol came on. coasted to safety. after several minutes tied to restart. restarted normally. finished trip. later computer diagnosis showed po2111 and po2112. ford would not assist . later found many have had similar issues. safety problem! *tr
We lost all acceleration while pulling out of the store parking lot. we turned off the car,started it up again and it did the same thing while turning left into our neighborhood. luckily no traffic behind or oncoming while making these left turns. we got it to the dealer and they said it was the throttle body, not under warranty, not on recall, advised against driving our car, did not have a car for us to drive, would not pay for a rental, and the part was on nationwide back order for a month! we called ford customer service told them our situation (my wife is six months pregnant without a vehicle for a month). they agreed to pay for a rental car and put us on an expedited list. however, we have yet to hear when that part is coming in. *tr
While driving at 45mph the car jerked and lost thrust. the wrench light came on and i coasted as far as i could get. the engine did not seem to be running so i turned the key off and waited 20 seconds or so and attempted to start the vehicle. the car cranked many times but then started back up and was fine for the next 5 days. the first time this happened i brought the car to the ford dealer and was told that they needed to check it out. two days later they still had not looked at it so i took the car back. 5 days later it happened again but i came to a stop just around a corner and was concerned about being rear ended. i brought the car back to the dealer a second time and this time they looked at it. they said that the throttle body had to be replaced and that i was lucky that they had just received a shipment that day. the service associate said that this is a common problem and that these throttle bodies have been on back order for weeks. i had to pay for the diagnosis but it seems that this service should be done as a recall since there are so many problems. this is also a safety problem. *tr
I was driving my 2010 ford fusion on the interstate at approximately 65 mph when without warning the car began to jerk and decelerate. a wrench light came on. i was not able to accelerate at all. i was able to get the car safely off of the road at which point it shut off. upon restarting the engine the car continued to jerk and the engine light came on. i waited approximately 10 minutes and restarted the car again. this time the engine light stayed on but the car was drivable and i was able to make it home. i had my car to the ford dealership july 1 and was told that the car needed a new throttle body which the dealership said was on backorder. upon learning this, i researched this issue on the internet and found that others have had this some thing happen to them. this is a major safety hazard and it needs to be corrected before someone is not able to get their car off of the road when this situation occurs. *tr
As i was driving to the store my car stalled, there was a complete loss of power. a wrench symbol appeared as well as the check engine light. after restarting the vehicle i was able to move another 200 feet before it happened again, repeatedly i would need to put it in park, shut off the vehicle and begin again. this has happened about 10 times since last night. i am not unable to safely travel to work or any other location due to this situation. *tr
I was driving on highway all f a sudden car starts to stall. i was in my left lane when this happened. pulled on side of road turned car off waited 2 min started car again. as i was approaching 50 to 55 mph car started to stall again with wrench light on.. pulled off again noticed that there was a problem with the vehical. got car towed to shop and come to find out my throttle body needs to be replaced. mechanic said that alot of fusions have been having this problem and its a defective part and its a safety concern. it cost me 600.00 to replace part. this part is a safety concern and can kill alot of people if this part is not recalled.. if there was a semi behind me and i stalled i would b dead for a faulty part ford has not yet seemed to recall.. this is a serious matter and needs to be addressed asap... help save lives not take them!!!!! we purchase cars to be reliable not a death trap! *tr
I was driving down highway at 65mph when the engine jerked and car stopped accelerating. luckily there was no one to the right of me so i was able to pull over. once on the side of the road, the car started to jerk violently even while in park. i had it towed to a ford dealership and was told the throttle body assembly was defective. i could have died! *tr

Http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2010/ford/fusion/power+train traveling on interstate at 55 miles per hour when the car lost power and the wrench light came on it was all that could be done to avoid a highspeed accident. when the vehicle wa restarted it ran fine. however it continues doing this. the dealer says the throttle unit ($600) needs replaced this after the transmission was just replaced. we called the ford customer service it took three weeks for their representative to return the call and he had the nerve to ask "what did we expect him to do"? with the web the companies can no longer lie the dealer and ford first stated it was the first they heard of this, yet there are lawsuits everywhere. *tr
While driving on a highway at about 45 mph the gas pedal stopped working. the car engine remained running but would not respond to the pedal. the car slowed and luckily could be pulled to the side of the road. when the car slowed to a stop it started bucking. after turning the engine off, the car was able to be restarted and ran ok for the rest of the trip to work. the car had the same failure on the way home from work and on the way to the dealership the next morning. the deal service has diagnosed the problem as a bad throttle body and that the part was on back order. *tr
