While driving, the car's dashboard indicates a powertrain fault (via amber wrench symbol). Car seems to go into a limp home mode that has symptoms of grabby brakes and lower fuel economy. Car has also stalled out while driving, losing all power, and requires the operator to fully stop, shift the car into park, turn off the car, turn the car back on, and then shift back into drive before the operator can continue driving. Extremely unsafe because the vehicle rapidly decelerates and there is no warning prior to the car stalling. The powertrain warning light originally occurred on 15jun2018 while leaving work and travelling at about 25 mph when the light turned on. It stayed lit the entire drive home (about 50 miles) and was steady for speeds ranging from stopped to about 70 mph. During this episode, the car did not stall. On 18jun2018, while leaving work, the car once again illuminated the powertrain warning, but then immediately stalled and I drifted to the edge of the road. I stopped the car, put it in park, turned the car off and back on, and then put it back into drive, where it functioned, but with the powertrain warning illuminated. I drove home at speeds ranging from stopped to 70 mph, but when I exited the highway at my city, on the surface streets the car stalled out 2 more times with no warning, leaving me to put on my hazards and quickly try to restart the motor. Car had just under 5000 miles on the odometer when this first occurred. Car is a Ford Fusion Hybrid 2018.

My Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010 stalled without any warning in the 5th lane of I-85 in atlanta. My wife, the responding police officer, and myself were in grave danger because of this. We were blessed and fortunate that an officer happened to be very close when our car suddenly died in the middle of the interstate. The interstate traffic was heavy - but slow moving due to construction. The officer responded - literally - within seconds since he saw what was happening. He placed his car behind ours with his lights flashing. The the officer and I had to push my vehicle off to the side. We were all in grave danger! as the officer was calling for help and a wrecker, my car suddenly began working after several minutes. This was an extremely dangerous situation. I then researched this problem on the internet after I returned home only to discover that many other Ford fusion owners have experienced the same problem of random stalling. This is totally unacceptable! what is Ford waiting for to recall this vehicle?? I have no confidence driving this car now. It's only a matter of time until a tragedy occurs because of this. (if it hasn't happened already).

Several times, while driving (various speeds from around 35mph to 70mph) the "engine" stalled (I put 'engine' in quotes because this is a hybrid so "engine", for me, is an analogue for whatever was propelling the car, at the time). The first time this happened, I didn't notice at first (being a hybrid, the engine turning off is status-quo). It wasn't until I pressed the accelerator and felt no acceleration that I had a clue something was wrong. Then I noticed the "your car is not in park" [paraphrase] message on the dash-display. "well, I hope so, since I'm careening down the highway at 70mph (estimate)!" it took me a few clicks to figure out what was happening. I was tempted to follow instructions and put the car in park, but my common sense screamed, "are you nuts! you'll blow the transmission!!". Fortunately, when this happened (and the the 3 other times it happened) the road was relatively clear, and I was able to coast to the roadside and restart the car. And, fyi: the car started right up (in it's quirky hybrid way) and I was able to continue down the highway. I'm a very cool-headed person that doesn't panic easily, so I was able to handle this without incident, but this could easily lead to a terrible result, especially in a high traffic situation, especially since the "not in park" message is so misleading and could easily distract one to the point of crashing (also, someone might actually put the car in park while speeding down the highway -- not sure if that would cause a problem, but it certainly won't solve it)! note: for the "when did this happen?" question I entered the date of the most recent incident. Don't remember when it first happened (a few weeks ago, I believe). For the speed question, I entered my estimate of the highest speed of any of the incidents.

My 2010 Fusion Hybrid began a no-start/stalling condition. It has happened six times now. First occurrence was after fueling at low speed after entering street. Second occurrence was while traveling on the highway at 55 mph. Third occurrence was while exiting the interstate. Fourth occurrence was at low speed. Fifth occurrence was immediately after refueling while still in parking lot. And sixth occurence was also immediately after refueling just after leaving gas station at low speed. Four of the six occurrences was a failure for the internal combustion engine to start after the electric motor had already began moving the vehicle. The other two occurrences was while coasting. In all instances there would be a red triangle warning message to pull over safely, no codes were thrown according to the engineering report, no issues reported via the vehicle health report, the vehicle was traveling in a mostly level and straight line, and the vehicle would usually reset and run normally after the first or second attempt at restarting once the vehicle was pulled over.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after some time. The contact was unsure of which warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000. The VIN was unavailable.

My wife and I were entering a parking lot with the Ford Fusion Hybrid and slowed down, then started to slowly accelerate, the ffh wouldn't go forward normally and sort of stalled. My high voltage battery state was low (1/8 charged) and the car had about 3/4 tank of gas. It began with a series of surges that were caused by the car not knowing which propulsion source to use. It tried the gas engine, surged forward a few feet then tried to switch back to the electric motor, etc, - this happened about 6 times before I could get it to surge out of the driveway and park safely. I put the car in park and pushed the gas pedal trying to force the gas engine to take over and that caused an engine stutter and again the car tried each source of power - I turned the key off. Upon a restart it was as if nothing was wrong, it ran normally so I ran a Ford vehicle health report (vhr) while sitting in the car idling, that report is sent to my Ford owner's account, I did this to try and catch any errant dtc's (trouble codes). After that I restarted the car into the engineering test mode to show my digital dash display's internal readings, no dtc's were present there either. We finished our business and drove the 20 miles home without any problems, all normal. That was the first time this has happened and is a very unsafe situation.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. While driving 35 mph, the stop safe warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted and was towed to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,400. Updated 10/07/lj the dealer concluded the cam shaft sensor failed. Updated 10/21/14.

The wrench symbol was displayed on the control panel when the vehicle lost speed. It felt like it stalled out. Then the engine light came on. The car has very low miles on it and is practically brand new. I did not feel safe.

Vehicle stalled while traveling about 35mph. Loss of all power both mechanical and electrical, numerous warning lights appeared on dash. Traction system disengaged then reengaged, which disabled and reenabled the brakes causing the car to slide across the rode. Upon restart all warning light disappeared. Car was towed to dealer, after scanning ecu 25+ codes were found. No solution was determined and Ford told the dealer to just reflash the ecu, and add dielectric grease to all connectors. All modules involved were tested and passed.

Vehicle stalled while driving down the highway. Pulled over, restarted, car ran a few feet, restarted again, vehicle ran a few feet again and stopped, restarted again, vehicle would not move. Waited a few minutes. Vehicle started again, ran approximately 1/2 mile, then stalled, stopped moving again. Gave up, called wrecker. Vehicle towed to local Ford dealer for service. They have not identified the problem yet after two days. Dangerous highway conditions, traffic whizzing by during incident. Easily could have created an accident with repeated restarts and stalls.

Several times when on toll road at legal speed car warning light came on and engine stopped/stalled, pulled over to side, turned engine off, and it started. Took it to dealer who replaced transmission pump (?) I took car out again and same thing happened. Read newspaper accounts of NHTSA investigation of escapes and fusion stalling issues, but dealer after second occurrence said they had no information on any investigation. I am very reluctant to drive car after my personal experience and after reading of possible investigation pending.

The car stalls at varied speeds which is a huge safety issue. I owned a 2010 Ford fusion previously with my company fleet vehicle program, and had the same problem. I brought the car to the dealership and it was fixed without question. At that time I was unaware of this being part of a bigger problem. In the fall of 2011, I purchased a different 2010 Ford fusion from our fleet as it was being turned in, and this is the vehicle that I am discussing in this forum. It only has 30000 miles on it, but is 6 months out of the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty. The car stalled once, a month ago, and the problem seemed to rectify itself. Then yesterday, 6/19/2013, it stalled 6 times. My 17 year old daughter drives the car and was stuck in the middle of a very busy intersection. For almost one minute, the car would not restart, but finally did, and she was able to get out of the intersection. As I read the forums, it is obvious to me that this is a nationwide problem, looking back, I've had 2 cars with the identical problem. The service men at the dealership know that the problem is specific to the throttlebody, which is defective, and there is over a week backlog on the parts as more and more cars are having the same issue. This is a dangerous problem, to lose power to a vehicle in motion and Ford is aware of this issue, yet they are taking no steps in addressing the issue. It is going to cost me $600 to have the part replaced, as it is outside the 3 year warrant, yet Ford knows that this was a model wide issue with a defective car part. I am disappointed and angry that a glaring problem such as this is not being addressed due to Ford attempting to let the problem hopefully just fade away and not be taken to task over this issue. I pray that the NHTSA will step in, right a wrong, and in the process prevent a tragic accident before it becomes a reality.
