CAR GOING INTO "LIMP" MODE MANY TIMES. MY MOTHER DRIVES THIS CAR AND HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE OF IT GOING INTO "LIMP" MODE. THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY REPLACED AT DEALER TO FIX (HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION, WHO ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND ENGINE GASKET WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 3/28/14*CN

CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND SPEED WHILE DRIVING. PRESSING THE GAS BARELY MADE IT GO FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET, THEN IT DIED. ON BUSY HIGHWAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SIDE STREET AND PUSH PAST A DRIVE WAY. RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ANOTHER COUPLE OF MILES. AFTER ABOUT 1.5 HOURS OF WAITING, IT DIED 2X WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 2 MILES HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE (A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO) TO THIS SAME VEHICLE (TAKEN TO DEALER AT LEAST 2X FOR THE PROBLEM). BASED ON WHAT I READ TODAY ONLINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE "THROTTLE BODY". TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH I FELT A LOSS OF POWER IN MY FUSION FOLLOWED BY A WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND FORTUNATELY WAS ON A STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY WITH A SHOULDER. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT SINCE NO LIGHTS WERE ON NO CODES REGISTERED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR ONCE AGAIN STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE FAST LANE. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. UPON MY SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACED. IT APPEARS THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW ABOUT. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH AND IMMEDIATELY I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF A LEAK NOR IS THERE ANY INDICATION THAT THE PULLEY IS FROZEN. MY FAMILY WAS WITH ME AND IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A TURN WHEN I WASN'T ABLE TO ANTICIPATE NEEDING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK OF POWER STEERING, OR IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT AFTER LOOKING AT MULTIPLE FORUMS AND DISCOVERING HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR SCENARIOS THAT THIS MODEL VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL PROBLEM. *TR

WAS DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON INTERSTATE 64 E AND THOUGHT CAR DIED SO I PULLED OVER AS FAST AS I COULD TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, DOZENS OF CARS FLYING BY AND HONKING, HAD A HARD TIME GETTING TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND FIGURED OUT MY CAR DIDN'T DID DIE AFTER ALL, IT WAS RUNNING. AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND A WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IDLED ROUGH FOR A MINUTE AND WRENCH LIGHT WENT OUT SO I PROCEEDED ON AND IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 60 MILES FURTHER UP THE ROAD SO I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED HOME. NOT A GOOD SITUATION TO BE IN, VERY UNSAFE. READ REVIEWS ON THIS CAR AND LOOKS LIKE I M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND FORD SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM . VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION SEL ON A BACK WRONG I LOST PRESSURE TO THE THROTTLE. MY CAR HAD LOST ALL OF ITS SPEED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE A CAR COULD HIT ME. EVEN IF I PUSHED THE GAS IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THIS THE 4 TIME. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT TRAVELING EVERY DAY TO SCHOOL AND BACK. NOT ONLY ON BACK ROADS BUT ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IF I LOSE MY ACCELERATION I COULD BE SERIOUS HURT. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. MY OWN LIFE IS AT RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT BECAME GREEN I PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 25 YARDS THE CAR LOST ALMOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD IN A JERKING MANNER WITH LITTLE POWER (10%). ALL THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF EXCEPT FOR THE WRENCH LIGHT WHICH STAYED ON. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE BEFORE RESTARTING. ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS VIBRATING AND JERKY WHILE DRIVING THE FIRST FEW FEET AND THEN ALL WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT I WOULD BE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED. *TR

I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER DROPPING IT OFF, AGAIN, ON FRIDAY, 12/27 TO FIX THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE DAY BEFORE. THE STEERING GOT INCREDIBLY STIFF AND THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE STEERING RACK. SECOND TIME THEY BLAMED THE WIRING. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TODAY 12/31 BUT THEY WERE CLOSED SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIX WHEN THEY OPEN BACK UP ON JAN 2ND. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW AND I WONT BE ABLE TO ANY TIME SOON I FEEL. *TR
