WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY AT ALMOST 60MPH THE CAR SHOOK/SHUTTERED, THEN A WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME AND BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND ONLY 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC ANYWAY AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. BECAUSE I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT AFTER THIS I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER (EWALD IN HARTFORD, WI) TO HAVE IT CHECKED OVER. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEN THIS SAME SCENARIO OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT 3-1/2 WEEKS LATER AT 5:15AM ON MY WAY TO WORK. THIS TIME I WAS JUST PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND BARELY GOING 20MPH. IT DID THE SAME THING WITH SHAKING, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON AND THE CAR STALLING. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER WHERE I WAS SO I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK OR HELP. I STARTED IT BACK UP AND TOOK IT BACK HOME WHERE IT SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR 1-1/2 DAYS UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP. EWALD FORD LOOKED AT IT FOR ME AGAIN BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO START IT AGAIN IF IT HAPPENS OR THE CODES WILL CLEAR OUT SO I WILL NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED OR PUT A PORTABLE CODE READER ON IT TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOMETHING FOR THEM. I JUST SAW AN ARTICLE IN OUR MILWAUKEE PAPER STATING THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THESE ISSUES AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THANK YOU!! *TR

DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE ABOUT 55 MPH AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE I.E. WENT INTO SAFE MODE AND HAD TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES FROM JULY THROUGH AUGUST 2012 ON VARIOUS TYPES OF ROADWAYS (HIGHWAY, NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS) UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP. CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY. *TR

LAST WEEK, AS I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, MY FORD FUSION CUT BACK TO ABOUT 5 MPH AND I SLOWLY CHUGGED HOME. TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AND STILL THE SAME. WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR AND RESTARTED AND IT WORKED FINE. TODAY AS I WAS COMING HOME AT 70 MPH IT DID THE SAME. SO I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITED AWHILE AND RESTARTED IT. IT WORKED OKAY. I HAVE READ THAT THIS A PROBLEM WITH FORD FUSIONS THAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED SO I'LL LIKE TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE INVESTIGATION. *TR
