TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS....THIS HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY HAPPENING IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN JULY AND SO FAR 4 TIMES IN AUGUST. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR FORD TO DO A[XXX] RECALL ON THIS PART (THROTTLE BODY AND CIRCUIT BOARD) THAT IS CAUSING THIS, A DEATH???? I PRAY ITS NOT MINE! WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM WIDRICKS AUTO SALES IN WATERTOWN NEW YORK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING....I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED BECAUSE WHETHER FORD CARES OR NOT IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!!! I AM SO FRUSTRATED THAT A COMPANY THIS BIG DOESNT GIVE A[XXX] ABOUT PEOPLE THAT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PART AND REPLACE IT FOR NOTHINGWHEN FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM!!!!!! ...SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE COMPLAINT AND A THOUSAND???? WHAT ABOUT THE LIVES OF DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OF VEHICLES THAT FORD KNOW HAVE THIS PROBLEM??? CAN YOU SAY LAW SUIT FORD PEOPLE\ INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AN THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGHLY AND ON THE VERGE OF STALLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED 1-2 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING "NORMALLY". I DON'T RECALL IF ANY OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE STALLING COULD HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. UNFORTUNATELY THE PART ID ON BACK-ORDER FOR 1-2 MONTHS SO I NEED TO LIVE WITH THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. THE CAR IS A 2010 FORD FUSION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER (PURCHASED IN DEC '09) AND THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS STALLING ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE MIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,013.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. PUSHING THE GAS DID NOTHING. I HAD TO COAST OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. RESTARTING MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS IN TOWN. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE , THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AS IF IT MIGHT DIE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED IT. I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE TO MY MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH HIS SCANNER. HE THINKS IT IS THE " DRIVE BY WIRE " OR A SENSOR. *TR

WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE AND AS MY SON BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE CAR LOST POWER. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMALLY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. BUT AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AFTER COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN IT BRIEFLY REGAINED POWER BUT THE CAR WENT ONLY ABOUT 100FT BEFORE LOSING POWER AGAIN. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR 20 MINUTES WE WERE ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE THE REMAINING HALF MILE HOME. WE HAD DISMISSED THE FIRST INCIDENT AS POSSIBLY BEING A MISTAKE ON THE PART OF MY SON DRIVING AN UNFAMILIAR VEHICLE AND PERHAPS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. BUT THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS CLEARLY AN INDICATION OF A FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, A LOSS IN POWER COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE US HELPLESS WITHOUT POWER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY. THEY REPLACED IT AT A COST TO US OF $537. A THROTTLE BODY THAT FAILS AT LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. UPDATED 10/17/13*LJ

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION IN APRIL OF 2012 AND HAVE HAD MANY INCIDENTS OF THE "CHECK FUEL INLET" MESSAGE AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THAT THE GAS FLAP DIDN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I REMOVED THE FUEL NOZZLE. THIS AGAIN OCCURRED ON AUG. 17, 2013 BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN ON AUG. 22 I HAD 3 INCIDENTS WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL THE NEXT 4 MILES WITH SOME SPUTTERING AND RACING OF THE ENGINE. THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER. THE THIRD INCIDENT I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL F A SUDDEN CAR STARTS TO STALL. I WAS IN MY LEFT LANE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PULLED ON SIDE OF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF WAITED 2 MIN STARTED CAR AGAIN. AS I WAS APPROACHING 50 TO 55 MPH CAR STARTED TO STALL AGAIN WITH WRENCH LIGHT ON.. PULLED OFF AGAIN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICAL. GOT CAR TOWED TO SHOP AND COME TO FIND OUT MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC SAID THAT ALOT OF FUSIONS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ITS A DEFECTIVE PART AND ITS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT COST ME 600.00 TO REPLACE PART. THIS PART IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN KILL ALOT OF PEOPLE IF THIS PART IS NOT RECALLED.. IF THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME AND I STALLED I WOULD B DEAD FOR A FAULTY PART FORD HAS NOT YET SEEMED TO RECALL.. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP... HELP SAVE LIVES NOT TAKE THEM!!!!! WE PURCHASE CARS TO BE RELIABLE NOT A DEATH TRAP! *TR

WAS DRIVING ALONG AND SUDDENLY, THE CAR JERKED AND FELT LIKE I HAD DOWN SHIFTED, ALTHOUGH IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESTARTING, CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MILES. SOON, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND EVEN WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE INCIDENT SEEMS TO MATCH THE "THROTTLE BODY" COMPLAINTS. *TR
