2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO MY FRIENDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STALLED ON ME. IT WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS IT JUST SLOWED DOWN WHILE MY BATTERY LIGHT WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DEAD. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. LESS THAN A MILE IT DID IT AGAIN ON A BUSY ROAD. I WAS FREAKING OUT AND WORRIED ABOUT MY LIFE ON THE BUSY ROAD. SO I SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND STARTED AND LUCKY I MADE TO THE FORD SERVICE BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN AND DECIDED TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THE THROTTLE BODY GAD TO BE REPLACED AND WAS THE REASON WHY MY CAR WAS ACTING UP. I THANK GOD THAT I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY AROUND RUSH HOUR TIME. *TR

CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK. PUT CAR IN DRIVE, STARTED MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE, LOST THROTTLE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. ENGINE DIED WITHIN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT RAN NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 25 FEET AND EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE. RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR TO A SUITABLE PARKING SPACE ABOUT 250 FEET AWAY. AFTER SITTING FOR A MINUTE WITH THE CAR OFF, I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT RAN NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE AND HAD THEM SCAN THE COMPUTER CODES. FOUND P2111 - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL. *TR

VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE @ 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE. CAME VERY CLOSE TO A COLLISION BEFORE GETTING VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NEED A RECALL FROM FORD NOW BEFORE IT BECOMES SO LARGE LIKE TOYOTA AND THE DEATH RATE STARTS TO CLIMB. IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND FORD KNOWS IT.WHAT DOES IT TAKE 10 DEATHS OR 100. *TR

VEHICLE ACTED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF BUT DID NOT CUT OFF ACCELERATION WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS I CUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTARTED IT THEN WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES THEN SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING UP A HILL OR INCLINE, THE MOTOR POWERED DOWN TO THE POINT OF STALLING, WHEREBY I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TODAY, AND ON ONE OCCASION IN DECEMBER 2012, BUT THE SPECIFICS I CANNOT RECALL. *TR

AFTER STOPPING AT BANK, CAR WENT INTO CREEP MODE AFTER LESS THAN A BLOCK. RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME. NINE DAYS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. DROVE TO MECHANIC NEXT DAY OK. NEEDS THROTTLE BODY FOR $440.00. FORD APPARENTLY NOT WILLING TO FIX ALTHOUGH THEY'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. REPLACED IGNITION COIL A FEW WEEKS EARLIER FOR $330.00. SAME MO WITH FORD. *TR

EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER (ENGINE MISSING). REPLACEMENT COST OF IGNITION COIL $330.00. ONE MONTH LATER THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING FOR $440.00. THESE ARE APPARENTLY BOTH COMMON PROBLEMS WITH FORD. *TR

I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TIGHT AS THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE. HAPPENS EVERY 5-10 SECONDS OR SO AND EVERY TIME I AM AT IDLE. WHEN PULLING INTO GARAGE AT SLOW SPEED THE CAR SURGES SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR
