I WAS DRIVING CAR THREE DIFFERENT TIME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS STRANGELY AND LOSES POWER THEN IDLES ERRATICALLY AND CANNOT ACCELERATE, CAR DISPLAYS ERROR CODE ON DASH. I TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART AND CODE GOES AWAY AND RUNS GOOD. *TR

STARTED CAR AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE THEN IT CHIMED AND ADVANCETRAC SERVICE LIGHT AND POWERSTEERING FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO TURN KEY OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT OFF DISPLAY. *TR

TRIED TO START VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP ON GAS, ALREADY HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK PRIOR TO FILL UP, RECENTLY DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES (CAR IS WARMED UP FULLY) AND IT IMMEDIATELY STALLED. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO ME, AND IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT JUST BEFORE THE GAS FILL UP I NOTICED SOMEWHAT ROUGH ENGINE RESPONSE IN A VERY SHORT DRIVE FROM ACROSS THE STREET. I'VE READ THAT THERE ARE ISSUE WITH THROTTLE BODY FAULTS ON FUSION AND ESCAPE THAT DO NOT LOG UNDER NORMAL ODB 2 CODES AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF. I NEVER SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. *TR

DRIVING 75MPH ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING OR SIGNALS STALLS. THE VEHICLE DROPPED THE SPEED FROM 75MPH TO 10MPH AS I CONTINUOUSLY WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE SPEED BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CODE OF P211 THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE & THANK GOD NO VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME CAUSE IT COULD OF CAUSED A TREMENDOUS CRASH ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AND AFTER ACCELERATING THROUGH A LIGHT, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND MY "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND THE CAR BEGAN JUMPING BACK AND FORTH AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WENT AWAY BRIEFLY. AFTER PULLING ONTO A SIDE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, MY RPM GAUGE BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND I WAS NOT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL.IT ALSO BEGAN HARD SHIFTING AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO DROP. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMPUTER ISSUE, BUT IT IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK. I RESEARCHED THIS WEEKEND AND CLEARLY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T A RECALL. HOPEFULLY FORD TAKES CARE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

AS I WAS GOING TO WORK JUST BEFORE 5 PM - I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH BUT LOST POWER YET WAS ABLE TO ROLL SLIGHTLY OFF THE ROAD. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL TO NO AVAIL. I CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF FORD IN OUR TOWN AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT MORNING. (THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY.) I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO WORK. AS I WAS LEAVING WORK, I ONLY GOT ABOUT 1/10 OF A MILE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL BUT HAD NO POWER. EACH TIME I NOTICED A "WRENCH" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I AGAIN PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED HE SAID HE HAD TOWED ONE THE PREVIOUS DAY WITH THE SAME TROUBLE. LUCKILY, MINE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS THE "THROTTLE BLOCK". IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP LATER THAT DAY, BUT I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN AND WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK IT UP - THEY PULLED THE PAPERWORK FOR ANOTHER CAR (NOT MINE) AT FIRST THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO LEARNED THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER 2010 FUSION HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART ! I HOPE THAT FORD WILL MAKE A RECALL FOR THE "THROTTLE BLOCK" AND REPAY ALL THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO PAY BECAUSE THEIR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *TR
