Engine Stall Problems of Ford Fusion - part 2

My 2010 Ford Fusion begins to shake, vibrate and then the engine stalls without warning, while driving in traffic. This happens while driving at either interstate speeds or city driving speeds. I have to stop, place my car in park and restart the engine. I have come close to being rear ended by a car behind me, both on the intersate and on city streets.

On Thursday 8/22/13, I was driving about 55 mph on the highway and I experienced what seemed like an engine stall. My 2011 Fusion would not accelerate so I pulled off the side and my car started shaking so I turned it off. I waited a bit and started it back up and kept driving. I could still feel a lag when I stepped on the gas. I had a mechanic look at the car but he could not find any issues. On Saturday 8/24/13, the same issue happened to me 3 times within a 4 hour span. I poured in some seafoam to rule out any moisture that may be in the engine. I did some research online and discovered others have had similar issues that have all been linked to a faulty throttle body. On Sunday 8/25/13, the issue happened twice during the day. Today I finally took my car to the Ford dealership and told them what I was experiencing and told them that I think it is the throttle body. The guy told me that they would not know until the computer displayed the error code. Several hours later I received a call from the dealership telling me it is a faulty throttle body and the repair would cost $650. If this is a known issue, why hasn't a recall been issued?.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact was driving 10 mph when the engine stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted but the failure was recurring. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000. The VIN was not available.

The vehicle was coming to a stop and the engine lost power and stalled. This has occurred two time in the past 4 weeks. The vehicle had been driven at least a few miles before this occurred both times. Put the vehicle in park and it started immediately and I was able to drive away. The vehicle appears to not be idling to slow.

Car idling rough, engine stalls multiple times when at idle or slow (parking lot) speeds. Multiple occurrences over several days. Read that it was a very common problem with these Ford Fusion cars, being the throttle body. Verified with mechanics. No trouble codes given by on board computer. Several days later, engine stalled while driving on the interstate at speeds of 65-70mph. This has continued happening from time to time, even after cleaning of the throttle body that is on national backorder. Idle issues also continue. Still no trouble codes given by the on board computer.

Throttle body shorted battery and caused engine to stall in traffic. When trying to restart, engine sped up fast became very dangerous. Ford has these throttle bodys on back order. . . Thats sad. Pls recall ASAP before someone loses their life.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the engine stalled with the illumination of the wrench warning indicator. The contact was able to restart the vehicle thirty minutes later but the engine rpms increased drastically as the engine exhibited a loud roar. The vehicle was powered off and restarted a second time. The vehicle then resumed normally. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.

While accelerating, cruising or at idle, the engine stalls then dies. When restarting engine stumbles badly and dies. This happens in traffic, accelerating into intersections, at highway speeds, etc. Mil is now on constantly. Vehicle is completely unusable because it is past the warranty period. We will be replacing the throttle body at our own expense, but would like Ford to reimburse us.

Driving on 295 n bound at approximately 70 mph the engine just stalled. . . The little wrench light came on along with the engine light. I tried giving it gas but I could not get it to go so I had to fight the traffic to get over to the shoulder and shut it off. I attempted to start it and on the second try it did but felt like it was running on 2 cylinders. So I let it sputter along the shoulder to the exit where I shut it off and let it sit for a few minutes then tried it again, it started and I was able to get it to a advanced auto parts store where they plugged in the tester and got a throttle actuator error code. I got it started and it drove ok till I got home but haven't used it yet. This car did have a problem a few weeks ago but I thought it was just a glitch because it just ran rough and then went back to normal. Now I'm reading about other Fusions having the same problem.

Car engine unexpectedly jerked and rpms locked at 1000 no matter what was done with gas pedal. Did not recover until turned off and then on. Repeated over the next several days. Also engine would stall when trying to idle. Resolution was replacement of faulty throttle body assembly.

Engine stalled while driving 30mph flat city surface. No response with accelerator. Pulled over. Re-started engine. Car ran ok for @ 2 miles; stalled again with 'wrench" & "engine" indicator lights illuminated. Pulled over. Re-start again; same scenario 3 more times; finally got "home" (it was midnight Saturday night; using secondary roads only!). "p2111" failure code confirmed Sunday @ "auto zone".

The engine stalls and throttle becomes on responsive . When the vehicle is shut off and restarted it is fine for a while . This occured three times in the last three weeks . I do alot of highway driving and this is a very dangerous problem .

After starting the vehicle and beginning to accelerate, at approximately 20 miles per hour the engine lost rpm, would not respond to acceleration attempts and caused the car to stall. An engine warning light came on. Repeated restarts of the engine met with low rpm and surging engine conditions which would not "settle down" before the engine stalled again. After leaving the engine off for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to succesfulply restart the vehicle and cautiously drive it to the local Ford dealership (for diagnostic testing and repair the next business day - tomorrow, June 3rd). This is the second occurence of this problem which previously occutrred on February 19, 2013. [see NHTSA odi reference number 10500133].

I was driving down the road at 45 mph and the engine stalled. It was v ery dangerous but I did not get into an accident. I waited a few minutes and started the car back up and it worked fine for about two miles and did the same thing again. I found out through Ford that it was the throttle body and even the dealership admitted it was becoming a big problem. The part is back ordered for a month and it was not covered under warranty. Ford should admit the problem and recall the part before someone gets really hurt.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the engine stalled with the illumination of the warning indicator. The engine was restarted and the vehicle resumed normally. The failure recurred nineteen times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who informed the contact that the warning indicator would need to be illuminated in oder to perform a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.

While driving on I-49 so. , approx. 60 mph in peak morning traffic, the engine stalled. Luckily I was able to pull over to the shoulder. Noticed a "wrench" icon lit on dash. Turned off engine and after a few minutes, re-started engine. All clear on dash, so continued on to work. Called hub city Ford and brought car in the next morning. The "throttle body" was changed. No other warning or lights came on.

Pulled up to a stop light that was red. While idling waiting for green light, engine stalled. Placed car in park, restarted engine, and automobile drove as normal.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle as it resumed normally. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. There was a concurrent investigation associated with the failure under NHTSA action number: pe13003 (engine). The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.

I have now twice experienced the same problem described in the news articles from this date regarding engine stall. The first occasion, the vehicle was driving on a surface street at approximately 40 mph when it suddenly stalled. The second occasion was while I was trying to enter a freeway at between 50-55 mph. After the engine was turned off for a minute, the vehicle started working again properly.

Date and mileage of incident are guesses. Has happened on multiple occasions. When driving vehicle on highway or local roads, engine stalls as if it had no power, however, the tachometer indicates engine still running. Each time this occurs, vehicle has to be steered on to shoulder. When pulling onto shoulder, it vibrates tremendously. After it stops, you must put it into park, then restart the engine. Brought vehicle to goodyear where it was identified as a p2111 fault. It was suggeted that it be brought to a local Ford dealer for servicing. Brought to the local Ford dealership a week ago. Confirmed as p2111 fault. Part had to be ordered which took approximatley 6 days to receive. As of this complaint, still waiting on service to be completed.

While driving on the freeway, the engine stalled. A wrench symbol came on the dashboard. The car started lurching forward and was nearly hit by two other vehicles from the rear. I was able to stop. I turned off the engine and after a few tries, the car started up again. This has occurred at least another 20 times since then. I've spoken with Ford over the phone repeatedly and explained that there are numerous web sites discussing this as a throttle body problem. But Ford refuses to acknowledge the problem and have told me that they're not even sure if it would be covered under the power train warranty.

3. 0l engine stalling out. Had to replace throttle body for $355. 78.

Driving down the highway going to work and the engine kept loosing power took it to Ford once and they said it was a bad fuse got it back and drove it to work again and the engine stalled out 7 times within 2 miles I had to have it towed back to Ford and they said my throttle body broke and needed replaced.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact was traveling 65 mph when the engine stalled. The vehicle restarted after the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage was 32,000. Updated 08/16/lj the consumer stated the engine stalled, as she attempted to accelerate from a stop.

While driving engine cut out causing the car to stall in traffic. I brought the car to the Ford dealership and it was diagnosed as a faulty fuel injector #2. Same issue happened approximately 5000 miles later then again 10000 miles later. Each time the vehicle was brought to a Ford dealership.

When driving the vehicle it will seemingly randomly bring the engine down to idle or stall the car completely and send a p2111 or p2112 error code (throttle body stuck open/close, respectively) and the car needs to be completely shut off in order to bring the car back into a normal running state. Resetting the car does not guarantee that the issue will go away, and about 40-50% of the time the car stalls again right after attempting to re-enter traffic. This issue will commonly happen when making turns, although it is not limited to that situation.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated the engine would intermittently stall without warning and lose all power. The dealer performed diagnostic testing and found the air filter was not properly installed and was causing the vehicle to stall. The failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer advised there could be no repairs made to the vehicle until the failure was able to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 900 and the current mileage was approximately 14,000. Updated10/27/10.
