2011 Ford Fusion Engine

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE SHOULDER WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEED, TWO MINUTES AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSS POWER AND WENT TO LIMP MODE WITH WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP FOR CHECK-UP BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO ACTION TAKEN. *TR

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND COME TO A ROUGH STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS A WRENCH COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD. NOW WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING THE EVENTS WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. RECENTLY ITS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND THIS HAPPENED TO ME 9 TIMES IN UNDER A MILE. WHEN I TAKE IT TO GET THE READOUT THE COMPUTER SAYS CODE P2112. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT FREEWAY SPEED. THREE OTHER INSTANCES SINCE THE VERY FIRST INCIDENT NOTED ABOVE. THREE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT BY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 FORD FUSION ON 2/28/13 WITH JUST 24,320 MILES. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING MY VEHICLE DUE TO CONTINUAL STALLING. INITIALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL START (COLD ENGINE) IN THE MORNING WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM AND ALMOST DAILY. IF I LEAVE WORK AT LUNCHTIME TO RUN AN ERRAND (4 HOURS LATER) THE VEHICLE WILL STALL NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS FOLLOWED WITH IDLING VERY HIGH RPM?S (2,000). THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE PRESENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I AGAIN WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 1 WEEK AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE STALLING PROBLEM AND CLAIMED THAT THIS IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE CHANGE OVER FROM WINTER GAS TO SUMMER GAS. ON 6/15/13 I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO START WITH THE SMELL OF GAS PRESENT ONCE AGAIN. AFTER 2 HOURS OF SITTING IN THE GARAGE I TRIED ONCE AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED UP. I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I AM MUCH STRESSED, FRUSTRATED AND WANTING A NEW OPERABLE VEHICLE. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO SHAKE AND STUTTER. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. TURNING OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTING IT WILL PUT THINGS BACK TO NORMAL...UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST TWO EPISODES NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. PULLING ONTO A MAJOR STREET FROM A SIDE STREET. FORTUNATLY, THE ON-COMING TRAFFIC WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. SCARY SITUATION, BUT AGAIN AVOIDED A NEAR MISS. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON 8/10/2013. DIAGNOSIS-THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THEIR ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. INTERESTING...THEY MUST BE FAILING AT A VERY HIGH RATE. I WAS TOLD NOT TO EXPECT THE PART UNTIL OCTOBER 26TH. 3 MONTHS! SO THE CAR SITS PARKED, WAITING FOR A NEW THROTTLE BODY. IT IS MUCH TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. 2011 FORD FUSION (STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS) WILL BE SITTING FOR 3 MONTHS WHY I TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TO WORK EVERYDAY. 56 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY SO THE REPAIR WILL COST $600. THANKS FORD. JUST HAPPY I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR GET ANYONE HURT. BUT ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME...

HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BUT HAD ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 1500 MILES. (MAR. 22, 2013 - 26,800 MILES) I WAS DRIVING ALONG A LANE ROAD DOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. WAS ABLE TO BARELY LIMP THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE MECHANICS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE RPMS BEGAN FLOATING BETWEEN 800 AND 1200 BUT WITH NO POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT REGAINED POWER BUT THEN IT HAPPENED ONE MILE LATER. SAME SYMPTOMS. RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND LASTED ANOTHER 2 MILES WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR IT TOOK ABOUT 20 SECS OF CRANKING BEFORE IT TURNED OVER. I THEN DROVE IT 15 MILES DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT WITHOUT INCIDENT. FORD RAN A DIAGNOSTIC SWEEP ON THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD HAVE TO BR BROUGHT IN WITH THE PROBLEM SHOWING SINCE THE BLACK BOX DOES NOT RECORD THESE TYPES OF ISSUES. I HAD THE IMPRESSION THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS TYPE OF ERROR OR COULD NOT RECALL IT. HAVE NOW DRIVEN THE CAR ADDITIONAL 40 MILES WITHOOUT INCIDENTS BUT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER IF THEY AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES. I THOUGHT THE RECESSION AND PAST DECADE TAUGHT THEM A LESSON IN DOING IT RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER/? *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SLOW DOWN AND SHAKE. THE WRENCH LIGHT COME ON. GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, ENGINE JUST DIES ON ME, FORCING ME TO PULL OVER, IT LOOSES ALL POWER BUT IT GOES TO A VERY LOW RPM'S FOR A WHILE, ENGINE SHAKES AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES JUST TURN OFF, I TURN IT BACK ON AND IT RUNS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST SHUT RIGHT DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IT DID START UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. AND ON THE 31ST I SAT ALL DAY IN A PARKING SPOT AND I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE PARKING AREA IT KEPT SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. THIS IS MAKING ME VERY CONCERNED THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT I WANT THIS TO BE CHECKED AND COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY PLEASE AND THANK YOU.*JB

DRIVING THE 2011 FORD FUSION ON THE OPEN ROAD, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTARTED. THE ENGINE STARTED AND I ENTERED THE ROAD AGAIN. ABOUT 3 MILES LATER THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN, SUDDENLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER INTO A PARTIAL MEDIAN, IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A WRENCH. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE CODE WAS P2111 - THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I SEE FROM RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS A MASSIVE ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS, AND YET FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IS VERY DANGEROUS AND PLACED ME AND MY PASSENGERS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $500! FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE FOR FREE JUST TO KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KILL A CUSTOMER WITH A DANGEROUSLY FAULTY PRODUCT. *JB

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 60 MPH AND IT LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, KILL THE CAR, AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT; IT SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE.

IT DID NOT START AS EASILY, IT SEEMED TO RUN ROUGH WHEN IT FIRST STARTED AND THEN IT RAN FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! THIS COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME IN ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC. *TR
