“The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while reversing at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced unintended high-speed acceleration and struck a parked vehicle. The brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle immediately. The vehicle then crashed into a residence. The air bags did not deploy. The contact suffered injuries to her face, back of the head, and neck; however, medical attention was not received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the body shop but was not yet deemed totaled by the insurance company. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken to the dealer twice before the crash; however, the cause of failure was not found and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The manufacturer advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.”

“WHILE TAKING A ONE LANE EXIT ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT 30 MILES PER HOUR A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSS POWER. THE CAR COASTED UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS! I COULD HAVE DIED. YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO GET ALL OF THERE FORD FUSIONS OFF OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR BRAKE TO SLOW ON THE FREEWAY. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND THE CAR TURNED ON WITH NO PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO HE SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. WHILE LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. WHICH NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I CAN'T WORK IF I CAN'T GET THERE WITH A CAR THAT I'VE PURCHASED!!! I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR!”

“THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME UP ON MY CAR. IT SAYS IT'S THE THROTTLE CONTROL TRANSMISSION. THE CAR GAVE NO SIGN OR WARNING ABOUT THIS CAR THROTTLE. THE CODE COMING UP IS P2111. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A INVESTIGATION GOING ON WITH MY SITUATION A FEW YEARS AGO. IS THIS A RECALL OR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED BECAUSE OF A RECALL?”

“WHILE DRIVING, AT POSTED SPEED, 40MPH ....ALL AT ONCE, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION, A VERY ROUGH IDLE TO THE ENGINE AND A WRENCH ICON SHOWED ON THE DASH. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESET AND THE WRENCH ICON DISAPPEARED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEIR COMPUTER TOOLS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG (CODES WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK). CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 500 MILES AND THEN, WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSIER ROAD AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID THE EXACT SAME THING, AGAIN CAUSING ME TO NEED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I, ONCE AGAIN, WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SYSTEM BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THAT I AM NOW LIMITED ONLY TO LOCAL TRAVEL.”
