2011 Ford Fusion. Consumers writes in regard to vehicle being unable to ungergo safety recall repairs and having many malfunctions. The consumer stated engine, fuel system, and steering all malfunctioned and the dealer refused to repair the vehicle.

While pulling into a parking space the and depressing the brake vehicle suddenly jolted forward crashing into a post. The check engine light came on indicating there was a problem. We have reported to Ford on multiple occasions that the car surges when coming to a stop. We have been informed that they are unable to do anything without an error code. After the insurance company repaired the car we drove it to Ford. Unfortunately we were told that the error code will clear after driving a "complete cycle" or "running a vehicle health report". Both were completed and Ford repair tech's say this is a known issue but without a code they can not do anything about it. I own 2 Ford 2011 Fusions. The other car had an issue where it would frequently stall or go "limp" as Ford calls it. Much like the surges we have experienced with this vehicle, I had numerous occasions this occurred without any check engine light. Finally it went "limp" getting onto the highway and the check engine light came on. I brought it into Ford a few days later. The light was off but they were able to recover the code. I believe there is a major issue with the computerize throttle control in these vehicles and a recall is in order. We are lucky that the driver did not get injured. The airbag did no deploy even though there was substantial damage to the front end. The damage was caused by a post that cut through the bumper and damaged up to the radiator. As part of the research done I believe a detailed analysis of how the error codes are stored should be done. If the cars computer can clear errors there is limited evidence/documentation of problems. This appears to me as a "feature" to eliminate any trace of an issue.

Driving down highway, car loses power like it wasn't pulling, luckily I was in slow lane on highway, when I got over to shoulder of 2 lane highway the wrench on dashboard lit up & car died, after sitting for 5--7 minutes it cranked back up and I was able to take to Ford dealership. I am not real happy after reading all the problems people are having. I usually take my 5 yr old grandson to daycare in morning so after this I am kinda leary of driving this car. If I had have been in the fast lane on this highway I would have had a harder time getting out of traffic and probably hit by another car or an 18 wheeler. Thank god I did not have my grandson with me. After this I seriously think I need to get rid of this vehicle.

I was driving down the street when my idle and rpm went down and I kept pressing on the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate (warning wrench symbol appeared). I was barely able to pull out of traffic and I nearly got hit in the rear by a tractor trailer. I turned off the car and got out my manual which said something about the throttle body. I turned on the car and everything was fine so I took the back road home (nitetime) and went about 10 miles and parked in front of my home. Went out in the morning (sundayoctober 20) and was going to drive it to the dealer to leave overnite, got a mile from my home and the same thing happened, called a tow truck and had it towed to the dealer.

While driving at all times, the vehicle would start to surge and buck then loose power. It never completely died but when I pulled over it ran terrible and would not accelerate. I turned it off for a few seconds and restarted it. It would run for a while, good, then the problem would reoccur. The engine light came on, I had the code checked. The result was a faulty throttle body or sort in the throttle body module.

Was driving on a county road up a slight incline when the engine ran very rough and the car rolled to a stop. Tried to restart and had the same condition - as though the engine was running on two cylinders. Was in the middle of the road and other cars ran around me. A homeowner came to the rescue and we were able to get the car slowly rolling onto his driveway. After sitting for some time the engine then worked as usual and we drove directly to the Ford dealer and dropped the car off (it was sat. A. M. ) so the service dept. Could look at the car Monday. Was called mon. And told by service that it was the throttle body and would cost $640 to repair. Authorized the repair plus oil change, etc. My wife had picked me up with another vehicle and I checked the internet for this throttle body problem. There was a lot of info about it. Called dealership and told them the problem has existed for years and I would not pay for a problem from the factory (not ordinary wear and tear) which they knew about when they sold me the car new in 2010. Offered to pay half the throttle body repair cost as the vehicle was out of warranty. Waiting for their decision.
