I went to stivers ford about the air bag be to the end of january and the beginning of february the mechanic took my recall information said they would call me as soon as the new bags got in never heard from them i called every month only to be told nothing came in yet so i called ford customers service they had me on hold the mechanic in montgomery stated that there was no record of me ever being there. customer service left me on the phone with the mechanic to make an appointment she hung up the phone i gave the mechanic my first and last name then he repeated back to me my first and last name with my address keep in mind he had all of my information in the system the whole time. so i made an appointment for friday may 31 2019. there is a faulty tire light on that won't go away even when i had the tire checked the car stopped in the middle of the intersection during the green light in heavy traffic the 🔧 light came on with the check engine light and the flashing faulty tire light . i put the car in park and turned off the engine then restarted the car and drove home i was very afraid because the cars behind me were moving pretty fast i was blessed to not be hit from behind. next day drove the car to a repair shop. every thing was working fine they ran a diagnosis showing the throttle was stuck and would not reset so it is stuck.
Was accelerating in my vehicle when the car hesitated and then just shut off in the middle of the road showing only an orange wrench light on the dash. thankfully i was driving in town and actually to the dealership to get my airbag recall fixed when this happened and nobody other than my boyfriend was behind me. i turned the key into the off position and turned it back on and the dash (wrench) light indicator went off. i could have seriously injured myself or another vehicle due to what seems to be be a system failure! i refused to take my car home from the dealership until they checked into it. they acted as if it was no big deal because the (wrench) light on the dash went off but i'm very concerned it's a safety issue and bad accidents can be a result of this.
When i was driving on the paved road about 15 miles per hour i let off the accelerator while engaging a slight curve in the road and the car all of a sudden sped up out of control. the brakes had no effect on stopping the car. so i steered away from traffic ahead and went into an open field. the car got up to around 50 mph, and 60 yards out i hit a 10 foot wide trench by 2 foot deep. the front end hit the other side and the airbag went off. the brakes finally stopped the car about 30 yards from the trench. the decorative front end and the back end was tore off along with miscellaneous brackets. the radiator was pushed up into the hood with no leaks.

My car takes about 2 mins to start. the gas acceleration goes from normal to slow when i'm driving. i go into reverse and my car stalls and jerks really hard. when i'm at a stoplight or a stop sign my car will act like it's losing power and the whole car shakes. the lights on the dash come on then disappear days later with new lights on such as check engine doors open ect. there are times i will be driving and my car will slow down on its own like i hit my breaks. when i was backing up going in reverse the car jerked and i hit someone however it was in a parking lot. there was no damage to the other vehicle. when i put the car back in drive after i had it in reverse from backing up i backed up again there has to be something wrong within the car itself. i'm worried about my safety as well as others. the malfunctioning of the car has been going on since about a month after i got it and it's been almost 2 months since it's beenin my possession.
Driving my family home, my dashboard displayed a message to "service power steering soon" steering wasn't an immediate problem...however, a few hours later, i attempted to drive the vehicle to a mechanic and when i turned the wheel the steering was very hard to do, very stiff. there was also a message that came on the dashboard that said to "service power steering now". i contacted a mechanic & they informed that i could possibly reset the power steering, by just turning the car on and off a few times. however, this method did not work. computer is having trouble uploading the video
The vehicle was in motion on i 85 in alabama traveling approximately 70miles per hour.i noticed the vehicle started jerking,the speedometer started fluctuating, until i lost speed control.the wrench light was on. my vehicle had 70,000 miles;driven approximately 20 miles a day. i made the decision to turn around and go home driving in the right lane with no speedometer or a speedometer that would start fluctuating while my car was jerking. i took the vehicle to my local ford dealer.the diagnostic codes were 070/071/072.they told me no warranty and it would be $1,000 to fix the transmission speed sensor. unfortunately i did not have $1000 to fix the problem. my car operated ok until a few days when it started jerking,speedometer fluctuated until it went to reading 0 mph. at this time i was on i 20 in atlanta. this time i was afraid of being rear ended when i was stopped at a traffic light due to not picking up enough speed. i feel this is a serious safety issue and ford should be required to replace transmission speed sensors. case in point concerning ford dealer quoting $1000-i found someone to repair for under $100. i would have been able to fix my car the previous year. dealer said they would have to spend 4 plus hours labor due to where the transmission speed sensor is located. person fixing my car said the transmission speed sensor is external easily accessible. i'm very disappointed in ford and the dealer in this very scary issue.
The throttle stuck (2nd time, both times similar) recent experience:03/20/2018: location: entrance ramp pa turnpike at somerset exit. the turnpike traffic was moving extremely slowly due to weather\accident (estimate 15 25 mph). i had purposely hung way back (100 - 150 ft) of car ahead of me as driver did not seem experienced or confident. after thinking that the vehicle in front was going to make its merge, i started accelerating up to the then turnpike traffic speed. the car in front though did not merge but stopped instead. i then needed to slow down or stop. when attempting to slow down, my car did not want to slow down, throttle seemed stuck. i then started pressing the brake pedal with both feet as hard as i could. though my car did stop before hitting the vehicle in front, it was an extremely tense experience. previously, a couple years ago, i had a similar experience. i did not report at that time. in that experience, i was approaching an intersection in the city of erie. my approach was on a slight uphill. the light changed from green to red and i went to stop. again, it seemed as though the throttle stuck. as it was on an uphill i was expecting to use little or no brake. my car though kept at speed. again, i jumped on the brake pedal with both feet as hard as i could. in this case, i did lightly strike the back of a vehicle that stopped ahead of me at the traffic signal. the car i hit did not receive any damage. my car though had a grill piece puncture the air conditioner item that holds its liquid.
Throttle body- our 2012 ford fusion will intermittently stall, which has become a hazard driving, especially on the highway. the wrench light will come on, but once turning the car back on, the light will go off. after a dozen or more times, the check engine light finally came on and we were able to bring it to our mechanic. he pulled the code p2111 (throttle body). he cleaned out the throttle because that what he thought would fix it and cleared the code. the problem happened again and we then researched online and found that this is a major issue with ford owners. however, ford has claimed that this is not a hazard so has not declared a recall, but has extended a warranty for the part. unfortunately, since our code was cleared our ford dealership will not fix this under warranty even after giving them the code that popped up. they have had the car for days and have not experienced it themselves so they will not fix it. the only options we now have are #1 paying out of pocket or #2 driving the car hoping that the check engine comes back on which ford has suggested. needless to say this is extremely dangerous and we are very disappointed that the only option they have for us is to send us away to have it stall again so they can get their code when knowing there are what looks like hundreds of complaints online. also, since the check engine light only came on once, we will probably have to experience a dozen more stalls for it to come on again. we are at a loss.
The advancetrac system has gone bad, forcing me to lose power steering and power to the engine. incredibly hard to diagnose the exact problem. replaced multiple sensors and fuses and issue still exist.
City traffic, 30mph. only had traveled a few miles. temperature was in the low 90's and dewpoint in the low to mid 60's. wrench tool icon illuminated and the vehicle shook and total loss of power. could only go 3-5 mph. pulled off the road. turned off car and restarted. icon was off and car ran fine. service scan tool did not find any faults. after the scan, the dash message center displayed the message: "service advancetrac". intermittent problem with no other error messages and appears to be a common on ford vehicles. simply restarting the vehicle should not erase the source of the problem. this is a very dangerous situation if this occurs at highway speeds because of the total loss of power.
The electronic throttle body has failed twice within 500 miles. (the vehicle has 71500 as of this writing) both times this has occurred at approximately 35 mph while driving on a flat stretch of road at a steady speed with little input from the accelerator. in both circumstances the car has thudded into "limp mode" where the car can only coast of the road. a restart seems to clear the problem.
For a while know my car would randomly stop. all of a sudden it would decrease in speed and then shake at which time i would pull over and shut the car down after some time i am able to start the car up again and get back on the road. no mechanic can actually find anything wrong with my car so they just keep telling me to come back if it does it again. at first i thought it was the fuel filter so i was told by the mechanic to use fuel injection cleaner in my car. i have done that and it appeared to work however it started up again. i have been having this issue off and on for a while but can never find the issue. i am wondering why hasn't there been a recall on this. i noticed that with this model year everyone is having the same issue. i live in houston and our freeways are not the best places to break down.
I just hit 40,000 miles, vehicle has become very unsafe, while driving vehicle shuts off. acceleration take too long and once it kicks in it slams into gear. if i need to reverse it won't find the gear and when it does , i slams into gear, the wrench continues to appear on dash when said event is happening. there should be a recall on that transmission or engine. very unsafe. when vehicle stalls it becomes a hazard to everyone around me. if someone could please contact me this would be great. upon searching what the problem could be i noticed numerous complaints about the same issue. please help! i don't have any photos of the vehicle shutting down and what a hazard it can be . tell me what to do please.

According to the driver, the vehicle was put into reverse backing out of a parking spot, then when the car was put into drive the vehicle would not stop gaining high speeds up to 50mph. the engine rpms were high and the car was "out of control" as the driver had their foot pressed on the brake. the fusion struck a few parked cars and eventually hit a vehicle head on coming the opposite way in a parking lot. there was one fatality as a result of the crash and other minor injuries from the victims. according to ford a notice was sent out in january of 2014, field service action number: 13n03, which they offered an extended warranty for the defective part but never explicitly stated a throttle body could stay open causing the vehicle to surge or runaway causing a fatal accident. see also 10649303. *dsy *tr

While driving, the car began to shake and jerk like the engine wanted to die. then i lost engine power. the car still had power and was on, but there was no throttle when i pushed the gas. the engine light and a little wrench came on. i put it in park, turned it off, restarted it, and it still had no engine throttle to it. but the car had a small amount of power, like i was coasting along, so that i could get through the stop light and make it to the side of the road. every time i tried the gas pedal though, there was no response; it went to the floor. i was at the light by my neighborhood, right by the train tracks. thank god i had enough power to get through that! *tr
I was driving on interstate 70 at approximately 65 mph when i suddenly lost all engine power. i was almost hit by a semi traveling behind me because my vehicle had absolutely zero acceleration. the "wrench" light on my car came on at the same time this happened. the semi behind me swerved to miss me and i was able to get my car off to the side of the road. lights, climate control (a/c), radio, etc. worked fine. engine still ran but would not move forward. i turned the car off to call for assistance. upon seeing if the car would re-start, it did and no "wrench" light appeared. i was able to then get the car to my local ford dealership, but being a holiday they were closed. i could have been killed when this happened on the interstate with the semi behind me!! sounds like some kind of fuel injector or throttle problem. my vehicle is not even 3 years old and i bought it brand new in dec. 2011. *tr

While driving on a major highway at a set rate of speed the car acted as if it was trying to shift gears and bucked, rpm's went up and then back to normal. it went to the dealer and throttle body was replaced, a week or so afterwards the car started to do the same thing, but this time also in reverse. i took it back to the dealer where they stated that nothing was wrong but they only put 4 miles of a test drive on the car. last week the fusion left me on a major highway just shutting down with no warning and i happened to have my 2 year old. i left it sit about 30 minutes and turned over the ignition and it started like normal. i was just thankful to get home without and accident. it's not safe... the car looks great but its like you take your life into your own hands driving it. *tr

Bought a 2012 ford fusion brand new from a dealership. first incident occurred within first 2 yrs of ownership while driving 45 mph down an incline - sudden loss of power. it felt as if it lost power steering and thought engine shut off. dash alarms rang and briefly saw 'power steering fault' light up. took all my power to pull car off road and to a safe complete stop.turned off ignition. after a few minutes restarted ignition and drove directly to a dealership without further incident. dealership stated water pump was defective and sent a signal to the engine to shut down. pump was replaced second incident occurred months later while at a complete stop at a traffic light. steering wheel suddenly locked, and felt engine power reduce. dash warning sounded and saw 'power steering fault, service powertrac' light up. turned ignition off and back on and was able to drive to dealership without further incident. was told a chip replacement was issued. replaced chip and was told that would extend the warranty and resolve issue. continue to have additional incidents (4 to date ) both while moving and at a stand still where the dash warning sounded and felt a reduction or loss of power, each time having to shut off ignition and restart to clear the fault. dealership continues to attempt to service with no resolve as yet. *tr

When passing another vehicle at 45 mph in 2012 ford fusion sel v6 (36,000 miles) car suddenly and without warning lost power but quickly regained it. a few minutes later, while turning corner, car suddenly and dangerously lost power again and didn't regain it. i managed to roll to curb; warning lights were on including wrench. i stepped on gas but car wouldn't move. turned off engine and ten minutes into waiting for tow truck, i tried to start vehicle. it started and i was able to drive it two blocks to my home. based on their experience with fusions, mechanics at ford dealership suspected throttle body problem and i was told there was nothing they could do because code for throttle body didn't appear during diagnostic check. i was told that when it happens again to bring it back to see if they could catch code and get authorization for repair. the sudden loss of power in this car while driving it is very dangerous and the series should be recalled and throttle body repair done by ford because of this serious safety issue. *tr
I have had numerous problems with stalling, loss of acceleration, dying with my fusion. it hesitates when driving and stalls when driving and stopped. the wrench and engine light are on again. i am very concerned for my safety due to these issues as there is never any warning of when it's going to occur. i have previously had my throttle body repaired/replaced but the same problems continue.
