Was driving down a busy road with my [xxx] and [xxx] , when all of a sudden my steering wheel got super tight and the car shut down. A message stating "power steering assist fault" popped up on my dashboard. There was zero warning before it happened. I just bought this car 3 months ago from a facebook marketplace car dealer. When this incident happened 2 weeks ago, I googled 2011 Ford Fusion recalls and it says NHTSA recalled in 2015. When I'm not understanding is why a VIN number makes a difference, when I'm having the problem on the type of year/model that was recalled. I have been informed about the customer satisfaction program, which expired years before I purchased the vehicle. Again, why should that fall on me? thanks information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

This happens to me frequently and the most recent was yesterday 8/9/2021 at a traffic light the vehicle completely shuts off and this is very concerning with my safety and that of my family and I don’t know the problem and how to get it fix. This is a major safety issue and I hope to get an answer from you people and have the problem taking care of. Amadou jobe amadoujobe22@gmail. Com.

Failure of the throttle body and motor assy. T\internal fault code p2112 caused the power on car to go to limp mode. This created a dangerous situation at highway speeds. The item has been flagged in February 21, 2013 NHTSA action number: pe13003electronic throttle body malfunction NHTSA action number: pe13003 Ford has failed to correct the issue on my vehicle. This occurred 17 Aug 2020. The vehicle was at 152,000 miles and had been serviced regular by Ford since purchase in 2011. This issue should have never occurred. I had stopped at a light and made a right turn on to expressway in rush hour traffic. With no acceleration this became a dangerous situation very quickly. I expected to accelerate to 45mph but could barley creep to 20 mph max.

To whom it concerns, well first of all I purchase a vehicle from, I don't have the title, so the bank and the dealership got that stuff. Next they think they can be rude, lie, and play games, thirdly they said I wrecked when it came off the lot on condition as it was in, but no way. Fourthly, they wand to lie and say 2 different store just like the bank does, I've had to put almost a 1000 bucks into the vehicle, and I'm upside down in it, I told the bank this, and the bank said they be contacting the dealership, never happened I asked to take the 1000 bucks off my loan for these services but won't, this why I'm reporting them, next the bank can never decide if they want insurance on the vehicle been harassed by both the dealership and bank, which is first premier bank and frankman motors sioux falls,sd, plus I was suppose to receive a manual for my car never happened, so something needs to be done, if both places of business's want me to be nice, they got to earn it, and do something about this lemon vehicle.

This issue corresponds to NHTSA action number: pe13003, electronic throttle body malfunction. I just took my Fusion in to have the part replaced again. The first time it happened was at 50k miles, the second time it happened was at 100k miles, and I can guess when it's going to happen again. They also just replaced the part. I asked them about the software update that's listed in NHTSA remedy write up, but they told me there is no software update in their system. Merely replacing one defective part with an identical defective part is not the solution, it just kicks the problem down the road.

2011 Ford Fusion se had a transmission problem while it was still under warranty (Nov. 2013). Our vehicle recently had trouble accelerating and shifting between gears. We took our car to a mechanic and he informed us that 3 gears in the transmission broke and we need a new transmission. This car only has 55k miles on it and this is the second transmission problem we've had!! the mechanic said he's never seen a transmission go this early, but reading reviews online of 2011 Ford Fusions, it seems like this is more common than we'd like to think.

On-going issue with fuel fill inlet. Inlet door does not close and seal properly which causes my engine light to come on and stay on. Gas-capless system.

Csp 13n03 as previously reported etb problems caused my car to abruptly drop power/rpm to ~1000rpm. Later identified issue to be related to etb and took to my Ford dealer expecting new software and/or etb replacement per 13n03. Dealer replaced but then begged off requesting I pay warranty repair cost of $122 because "manual transmission" vehicles and those not assembled in mexico were not covered. I am absolutely certain that my issue was exactly that covered by 13n03 and feel that having the power loss "limp mode" occur in a manual transmission vehicle actually put me at more risk because of the greater speed loss due to the direct connected drive path. Luckily it was late at night on a less traveled road allowing me to coast off safely onto the shoulder. I paid the $122 since they had already done the work before realizing that my car was not covered, and the throttle body alone would have cost me $75+, but I cannot understand how this is not a full-fledged recall and doesn't cover every vehicle with this type of etb? all this because of what sounds like incorrect/insufficient motor connection plating and/or bulb grease (contact enhancer).

While driving at 60 miles per hour my vehicle decelerate in rush hour traffic, miles away from home. I was able to put my emergency flashers on and move over to the shoulder before my car completely lost power. I had a tool light come on the dash and the car was still on but no power. I turn the engine completely off for about t 1 minute and then restart my car. I was able to safely make it home. On my grandchildren first day of school, while picking up at 1 of 3 schools on the way to the second school my car decelerated just before a train track during rush hour once again. This time my engine light came on the dash. Following the same technique I restarted my car, made it across the track only for it to quit again. My grand baby was worried and needless to say so was I. . Using the same technique we were able to make it safely home. Requiring another vehicle to go pick up at the other two school late. . . . Please tell me I shouldn't be afraid to drive my car because right now I am I attempted to perform a vehicle health check but it want allow me too. Please say there is a solution to this ongoing problem surely Ford is aware of this problem and there's a recall and I'm unaware right.

I was driving on a 25 mile per hour street, the wrench light suddenly came on the dashboard and the car seemed to lose all power. It barely crept along. If I applied the gas pedal, there was no response.

I was driving on the highway when my Ford Fusion lost all power, like it ran out of gas. Of course this happened when I was passing 2 semis with cars in front of me and behind me. Luckily I was able to get off the side of the highway. It just sat there idling very badly, I turned it off, turned it back on and I was able to drive it home after that. After doing some research online, this seems to be a common problem that should be recalled because it could definitely cause a pretty bad accident.

While driving whenever I stopped or slowed to turn the engine would start to not pull as if not getting gas, the care would start shaking. Happens whenever slowing then turning or pulling off from a stopped position.

While driving on the highway to work on January 29, 2016 I turned on my wipers to clean the windshield after I turned the wipers off they stopped in the middle of the windshield, effecting my vision while driving. Once off, they will intermittently turn themselves on and off for a period sometimes stopping in the field of vision.

Driving on fwy car display a wrench and you can't accelerate all you can do is coast to the shoulder of the road or hold up traffic. This has happened 10 times in one month my next problem is the dash display check fuel fill inlet and then the engine light comes on. The first time it happened was two weeks after I bought the car so they told me what shop to take it to because we had a 30 day warranty so I did they told me that it was a common problem on cars that don't have gas caps. It happened again,took it back to the same shop and he gave advise on how to fill your gas tank . It happened again took it back to the same shop this time he said that he replaced the whole fuel inlet thing. Well it happened again this time he told me to hit the reset button on the steering wheel I did and it went off but it kept on coming back on when I get back in the car and starting it. After a couple of days of doing that I took it back to the same shop he said that he would have to charge me to see what the problem is and I said it says check fuel fill inlet I should'nt have to pay so he said that he would charge the dealer he cleaned the part where the gas goes in he said and every thing is alright. Well after about a week it happened again this time the engine light came on too and when you reset the check fuel fill comes right back on. I took it back to the same shop and this time I had to pay and I don't see why because its the same problem over and over again and it is not fixed I paid 50. 00$ and it still has check fuel fill inlet and engine light still on. The car is at the Ford dealer right now because I had 3 recalls on the vehicle but nothing about the fuel fill inlet,Ford said that they can check out why the fuel inlet is on but I have to pay 120. 00$ I don't have the money I feel that it should be fixed free because it was under warranty and was never really fixed.

The above car displayed a trouble light. A mechanic used an odb ii scanner and diagnosed the engine problem with the code "p2119" I did some research on line and found out that this is a common problem involving the throttle body. Is this a recall item?.

My car has had a few recalls. I brought it to watertown Ford and they did not fix it properly. I bought it at enterprise car sales, woburn MA. They were supposed to check it and it was not certified like they promised. From the first month the car had issues. It keeps showing the wrench and not accelerating properly. I can't afford to keep fixing it. I would like Ford to buy back the car. For more than 11,000. 00.

Ford Fusion 2011 engine surged and dropped speed and resulting in me nearly being rear ended by vehicle behind me. Engine felt as if the transmission hesitated in between shifting gears.

Recall for to calibrate pcm to correct throttle problem ineffective. I continue to have a problem with the symptoms, (dramatic loss of speed while driving) but now the actual wrench symbol doesn't appear on my dash anymore. So when I show up at Ford they say, "OH, we need to see an actual code to correct the problem. " so what did the calibration do? eliminate the coding? now my car is jerky and has half the gas mileage after the calibration. The problem still exists but the option to get the throttle replaced is next to none. In the meantime, it is wearing on other parts and likely causing other problems.

I purchased my 2011 Ford Fusion used with 60k miles on it some months back. I noticed a few times when I'm driving a distance of 45 minutes or more a wrench light will seldomly come on and nothing happens it just stays on. Then there has been a few times where the wrench light comes on have lost power while driving 65-70mph and my car shakes and it slams back into gear like as if I reved up my engine and dropped it into drive. Note,this only seems to happen when I drive on the freeway for a long period of time. This happend again today on 10/5/2014 but this time I was about a half mile away from my exit off the freeway and my car filled the freeway with smoke coming from underneath my car and I noticed flames coming from the front engine compartment.

My daughter was driving a 2011 Ford Fusion the state police said she fell asleep because she worked overnight . Yes she works overnight and has been doing it for 6 months . She was on her regular schedule. After dropping her boyfriend off work she was heading to my house on a real popular deer road . I believe she was swerving off the road to try an avoid the deer and lost her steering and hit a tree . I know my daughter she wouldn't have fell asleep. I hope to god this could be proven one day . The engine tires everything on front end was inside the car . I have pieces of the car that was left there her credit card birth certificate was just laying on the ground . I have pictures of the car showing the engine and tire in the car.

Driving up the highway at about 65mph then the car begins to start losing power and speed, I have to pull over all the way to the right in the emergency lane. The yellow wrench light is on and I shut off the car then start it again, I'm able to make it home about 10 miles from home. If I didn't react quick enough this could have caused a major accident on the freeway.

The first time an alarm that sounded like music began playing. It played for awhile and then the car turned off. I was able to stop the car safely. I restarted it and it would not start. I tried again after a few minutes and the car appeared to work normally. The second time I was on the freeway in the fast lane going 65 mph. I heard the music/alarm playing again, so I began working my way to the side. Before I got to the side of the road, the car locked down my steering wheel. A warning light came on, that said something like "service advancetrac". Once I got it restarted, it drove normally again. Later that day, I was unable to back out of a parking space because the steering was not working. I took it to the dealer. The dealer stated that the entire power steering system has to be replaced for 2100 dollars. They told me they were not going to address the issue that the car turned off two days earlier because the steering was the current problem. I contacted the Ford company and they opened a case on my car. I do not know the outcome of this situation yet. After reading several accounts on the internet, I want to be sure to report this safety problem as it could have been very dangerous.
