DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CAR JUST LOST POWER. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. COULD ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR WAS SHAKING/ CHUGGING AS I TRIED TO GIVE SOME GAS. SHUT CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES AND CAR RAN GOOD. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT HALF HOUR LATER. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY MONTH WITH THE CAR BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. USUALLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT THIS TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH (COASTING) AND WENT TO GIVE IT SOME GAS AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE HAD NO POWER. WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, I WOULD RESTART THE ENGINE . IT WOULD REV IN NEUTRAL OK, BUT IF YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN AND YOU WOULD HAVE NO POWER. IF YOU LET THE CAR REST FOR A MINUTE OR TWO BEFORE RE-STARTING CHANCES ARE YOUR OK.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN 2013 AND HAD TO HAVE A MOTOR PUT IN 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IMMEDIATELY TO A MECHANIC AND THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED.

OUR VEHICLE IS A 2010 FUSION WITH 96,000 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE DROVE TO WORK YESTERDAY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH AND WAS EXTREMELY SLOW GETTING TO THAT SPEED. I KNOW FORD HAS A "SATISFACTION PROGRAM" FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE YET WHEN I CALLED THEM MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE PROGRAM. THIS IS THE SAME [XXX] PROBLEM AS THE OTHER ETB REPLACEMENT AND SOFTWARE UPDATE YET I'M BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. MY WIFE ENDED UP BREAKING DOWN ON A VERY BUSY STREET WITH CARS BEHIND HER YET FORD WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN THE 1.6 MILLION VEHICLES THEY RECALLED. HOW CAN MY ISSUE BE EXACTLY THE SAME YET NOT MEET THE CRITERIA? SO DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE IT'S ADDRESS, OR HOW MANY POOR PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS WITH MONEY THEY DON'T HAVE BEFORE THIS IS RECALLED AS IT SHOULD BE.

ON THE EVENING OF APRIL 22, 2016 CAR SHUT OFF WHEN IN MOTION AT 35MPH ON A CITY STREET. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I DROVE THE CAR 2 MILES TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE TO HAVE HIM CHECK IT. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET. FIVE TIMES. A 10 MINUTE DRIVE TOOK ME MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. ERROR CODE P2111 CAME UP. MY CAR HAS UNDER 68,000 MILES. THROTTLE BODY. I BELIEVE THIS IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND AFTER STOPPING, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT MY CAR HAD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED POWER. THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GUIDE MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE GARAGE. I WAS TOLD I'D NEW A NEW THROTTLE BODY THAT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $300 TO REPLACE INCLUDING LABOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE UNTIL THE DEALER REPAIRED IT FOR A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL TO ADDRESS THE CPV VALVE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY RESET THE CODE, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE CPV VALVE. SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND THEY WOULD COVER THE LABOR COST IF THE CONTACT REPLACED THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED MORE THAN THREE TIMES THAT THEY WOULD RESPOND BACK IN 24 TO 48 HRS, BUT THE CONTACT WAITED FOR WEEKS WITH NO SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,439.

VEHICLE LOST POWER, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE A WRENCH SHOWED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, IT EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO GRADUALLY GAIN SOME OF IT'S POWER ENOUGH TO GET THE CAR HOME. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS BY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S SEEM IT HAS TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. MY REAL CONCERN IS WHY FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN REQUIRED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. LOSS OF POWER COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THIS HAPPENS ON A INTERSTATE ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A TWO LANE, RURAL ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY 2010 FORD FUSION STARTED SPUTTERING, COUGHING, JERKING. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR; THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND A RED-WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. I CRANKED THE CAR AGAIN; IN PARK, THE ENGINE SOUNDED FINE, BUT WHEN I PLACED IT IN DRIVE, THE SPUTTERING AND COUGHING STARTED AGAIN. I DROVE A FEW FEET, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS THREE TIMES, ALL TO THE SAME EFFECT: DRIVE A FEW FEET, ENGINE IS COUGHING, SPUTTERING, JERKING, THEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF. AFTER THE THIRD TIME, I CRANKED IT, BUT WHILE STILL IN PARK I REVVED UP THE ENGINE AS HIGH AS I COULD (ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR). AFTER THAT, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS NO COUGHING, NO SPUTTERING, NO JERKING, ACCELERATOR RESPONDED SMOOTHLY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME (HALF MILE) AND PARK THE CAR. BUT I AM TERRIFIED THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN--THIS TIME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE--AND THE ENGINE MAY AGAIN STOP WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING ALONG. I AM EVEN TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. A SCARY DANGEROUS CAR. *TR

ENGINE WOULD DROP TO IDLE AND NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL, ONLY RESTARTING WOULD SOLVE. ESCALATED TO ENGINE COMPLETELY DYING REQUIRING A RESTART OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ON 10/20 DRIVING TO AIRPORT IN CHICAGO, CAR DIED A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. CALLED FORD CORPORATE REGARDING THE ETB CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, FOUND MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. ON 10/22 TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND THE ETB WAS REPLACED AT CUSTOMER EXPENSE. WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ETB'S BEING REPLACED UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. CALLED FORD CORPORATE AGAIN, BUT WOULD NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. A SERIOUS POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE WHEN A VEHICLE STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SUGGEST THAT ALL OF THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SATISFACTION PROGRAM OR THE PROGRAM SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO A RECALL PROGRAM.

ON SATURDAY, 08/15/2015 @7:45PM I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 ON THE FAR LEFT LANE ABOUT 65 MPH. AS I STARTED MOVING TO THE CENTER LANE TO GET TO THE RIGHT LANE ON A BIT OF AN INCLINE, A WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF ON THE DASHBOARD; I TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. AS I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL TO GET ON THE CENTER LANE, THE CAR STARTED LOSING SPEED. I PRESSED THE PEDAL BUT THE SPEED KEPT COMING DOWN. AT THIS POINT THE SPEED WENT TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND A SEMI TRUCK WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I TRIED TO GET TO THE RIGHT LANE, BUT ANOTHER SEMI WAS ON MY RIGHT SIDE. AT THIS POINT, THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 10 MPH. RIGHT AFTER THE SEMI PASSED, I CHANGED TO THE RIGHT AND HAD JUST ENOUGH INERTIA TO MAKE IT TO A POINT ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN AN ENTRY RAMP AND AN EXIT RAMP, NOT ON A SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING, I TURNED THE KEY IGNITION OFF. I TRIED TO START RIGHT BACK, NOTHING. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO PICK ME UP. WHILE WE TALKED, I TRIED THE IGNITION AGAIN; THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE THE CAR GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. I KEPT DRIVING ALL THE WAY HOME ON THE "GATEWAY" NEXT TO THE FREEWAY ON THE RIGHT LANE. WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS THEY OPENED ON MONDAY, 08/17/2015, EXPLAINED ISSUE. SERVICE REP INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE THROTTLE BODY, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE CONFIRMED. THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD CONFIRMED IT WAS TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY, SINCE THE COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW FAILURE. THE CAR LOST POWER AS IT DID FOR ME, AND THE MECHANIC TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET IT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 08/24/2015, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THEY ARE STILL GETTING THIS COMPLAINT. THEY SEE QUITE A BIT FOR CITY TRAFFIC, BUT HAVE HAD SOME FOR HIGH SPEEDS. HE DID SAY THAT MY CASE WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS HE HAD HAD AND THAT UNFORTUNATELY, FORD WILL NOT ISSUED A FULL RECALL AND WILL ONLY REPLACE AS IT HAPPENS AND IF PROVEN.

MA 08/11/15 UPDATED 10/1/2015*JS

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE TEMP GAUGE WAS ON HIGH. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRECEDING THIS AND NOW LOW COOLANT ALARM. TURNED A CORNER TO PULL OFF AND BEFORE I COULD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE SHUDDERED TO A STOP CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. WITH NO WARNING ENABLING ME TO EITHER CHECK THE CAR OUT, OR SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THE WATER PUMP WHICH IS INSIDE THE ENGINE FAILED. IT HAS CONTAMINATED THE OIL NOW REQUIRING AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE. ON SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR THE FORD 3.5L V6 ENGINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES AND ITS DESIGN. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

WELL JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR A MONTH AGO AND ALREADY IN THE SHOP. IT WAS JERKING AND LOSING ACCELERATION AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS ALSO IT SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SO I DID A VEHICLE REPORT ON THE CAR AND IT BROUGHT UP THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS. ALSO THE RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. SINCE I HAVE WARRENTY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY SAY IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. CHANGED IT. PICKED IT UP TODAY STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND LIGHT STILL ON. HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CAN CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY. CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE, THEY TELLING ME IT'S JUST SAYING I HAVE A WARRENTY. SO I HAD MY FIANCE CALL AND THEY SAID FOR US TO CALL IN THE MORNING. THEY GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO WASTE. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN I HAVE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. I HAVE CLASSES I HAVE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO. WHEN I PURCHASED A CAR I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS. SECOND TIME PURCHASING A VEHICLE. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED I CAN BE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN AND GOD FORBID THIS CAR CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, MALFUNCTION CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DID NOT LOSE POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 5 MPH, IF AT ALL AT TIMES. ENGINE SHOOK/VIBRATED VERY BADLY. NEARLY REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ACTIVATED 4 WAY FLASHERS AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OF HIGHWAY INTO SHOPPING AREA. ANY TYPE OF GAS PEDAL PRESSURE DID NOT HELP. LET CAR SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, RESTARTED ENGINE AND NO ISSUES WHILE SLOWLY DROVE AROUND PARKING LOT FOR A WHILE TO ENSURE NO ISSUES. DO HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY DEVICE REPLACED, BUT I CONSIDER THIS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WILL NOW TAKE TO DEALER AND DEMAND THIS BE REPLACED BEFORE ANY OTHER OCCURRENCES,

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003 MY FUSION WAS HAVING STALLING PROBLEMS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WOULD ACT AS THOUGH THERE WASN'T ENOUGH FUEL BUT NOT ENOUGH TO STALL OUT. THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE LIKE CRAZY AND THROW THE ENTIRE CAR INTO A SHAKE THAT WAS INCREDIBLY STRONG. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP, PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK LEAVING THE HOUSE IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK. ONCE IT SHOOK SO HARD I THOUGHT IT MIGHT TEAR THE ENGINE MOUNTS RIGHT OUT OF THE CAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MULLINAX FORD OF APOPKA WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AS IT ISN'T A "MECHANICAL" ENGINE PART, THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT. *TR
