Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Ford Fusion Hybrid

Vehicle did a hard stall in the middle of an intersection on three separate occasions. It completely shut off with no warning. The first two incidents happened in the space of a few minutes. After the first incident the car was turned back on and there was no indication anything was wrong. Continued to try and drive it a short distance to get back to the parking lot. It than stalled again turning into the parking lot and a battery light came on. Battery was replaced but the vehicle stalled again a few weeks later during a turn with oncoming traffic. No warning, it jerked hard than just shut off. I'm not sure at this time what is causing it to stall. It seems to be happening when switching from battery power to engine power while making turns. Leaving the car stuck in the middle of the intersection with no engine power, power brakes or steering and oncoming traffic.

While driving from los angeles to phoenix in the summer, the car suddenly flashed a red warning light, and shut the engine off with the car moving at freeway speed. After pulling to the side of the road, and turning the engine off and on again, the car gave no indication that something had happened. It shut off again ten miles later, and again, and again. I turned around and brought the car home and took it to a dealer. They replaced the hybrid computer, but it did the same thing again driving to las vegas a few months later. The dealer cleaned the throttle body, and said everything was good. It has since done it again and again, sometimes just merging onto the freeway near my home. Repeatedly, the car has lost power - usually on the freeway, and often with my family in the car. I try not to let my wife drive it at this point, because I'm worried that she'll either get stranded with the kids, or get hit by someone when the car shuts off on the freeway. We no longer drive it significant distances.

Without any issues in the 6 months I've owned the car, the engine shut down. The battery appeared full. Gas tank is full. After only driving for 1/4 mile, the stop safely now warning light came on and car shut down. Luckily we were right next to a convenience store and were able to get away from traffic. If we were on a 2 lane road, we would of been stuck in the middle of traffic. We were able to restart and move 10 ft at a time. Still waiting for diagnosis.

I was traveling approximately 55 mph under normal driving conditions when the car lost power and I was able to drift to side of road. Wrench light came on. I waited a few minutes and restarted the car. It idled rough at first but I was able to continue the drive home without incident. I researched this problem on the internet and discovered that Ford fusions of my year and mileage were experiencing this issue. The first recommended coarse of action was to use a throttle body cleaner. I did this and the car seemed to operate fine under conditions 25 mph. I set off to work on the 6th and the car shut off on me six times before I could make it twenty miles and get back to the house. This is an obvious manufacturers defect and needs to be handled appropriately.

Approximately after 10 minutes of driving, the engine shut down and the electric motor got stuck at about half its power (according to the display on the dashboard). The front air bag malfunction light was on (this had happened 3 times before during the past two weeks), the "hill assist off" light turned on, and a large warning message came up on the left side of the dashboard. The vehicle had very little power, I managed to get to the side of the road and pulled over in a parking lot. Parked and turned the ignition off, waited a minute and started the vehicle. It worked normal for the rest of the drive (5 more miles). The next morning, the front air bag malfunction light came up again after 4 or 5 miles of drive. I took the vehicle to the dealer.

Picked up the car from the dealership on Monday (9/25/12) after they found something wrong and was driving on state route 228 at 55 mile per hour. Warning chime sounded, pull over safely warning came on, engine shut off, brakes and accelerator disengaged, and all dashboard lights illuminated. Put hazards on for cars behind me and pulled over quickly avoiding a sign on the right side of the road. After 10-15 mins, I was able to restart the car by letting it reset. After getting green car indicator, I went to turn around to go back to the dealership. The car jumped forward and stalled in the intersection of state route 228 and buck hill rd. I was able to have it start, jump, and stall two times (enough to get me out of the intersection). Upon arriving the dealership, they could not find any codes that were disrupted.

Could not activate, car returned with instructions to have it towed here and do not restart it when it breaks down.
