ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ERROR CODES LEAD TO LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND ENGINE BEING THROTTLED BACK TO APPROX. 10 MPH IN "LIMP HOME MODE". ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, AND NHTSA HAS STUDIED THE PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY. FORD SAYS MY ETB IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS, AND THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR FORD FUSION, AND FORD SUPPOSEDLY MADE A 10YR 150,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE PART....JUST NOT MY ETB.

DURING SUMMER MONTHS WITH AIR CONDITIONING RUNNING, THE CABIN OF THE CAR FILLS WITH HEAVY EXHAUST FUMES WHETHER THE AIR IS RECIRCULATED OR OUTSIDE AIR. DAILY COMMUTE IS LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AND TRAFFIC IS LIGHT. I KEEP MY WINDOWS CLOSED WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. I HAVEN'T NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN THE WINTER. I AM WORRIED ABOUT BEING EXPOSED TO DANGEROUS CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN THE CAR. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AND SURFACE STREETS.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE, OR THE ENGINE IS UNDER LOAAD, THE TEMPERATURE GAGUE GOES UP, BUT AS SOON AS I COME OUT OF IT, THE TEMPERATURE RETURNS TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD IT TESTED AND IT IS NOT ACTUALLY OVERHEATING. HAVE A NEW WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, SENSOR AND RADIATOR. ALSO, THE CAR SYMBOL ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS ON AND ALL DOORS AND TRUNK ARE CLOSED. HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY'VE DETERMINED IT IS ELECTRICAL AFTER THE "DIAGNOSTIC", BUT ARE STILL TROUBLE SHOOTING AFTER A WEEK TO DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE.

I EXPERIENCING A 'THROTTLE BODY' MALFUNCTION. MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN REFERENCE TO THIS ISSUE, BOTH ONLINE AS WELL AS IN PERSON. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. ON THE HIGHWAY THIS CAN / WILL CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MANY OTHER MOTORISTS AS WELL. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ISSUE AND, BY DOING SO, IS PLACING COUNTLESS PEOPLE AT RISK UNNECESSARILY. I AM FED UP WITH DEALERSHIPS COVERING UP FOR DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY.

CITY TRAFFIC, 30MPH. ONLY HAD TRAVELED A FEW MILES. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 90'S AND DEWPOINT IN THE LOW TO MID 60'S. WRENCH TOOL ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. COULD ONLY GO 3-5 MPH. PULLED OFF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED. ICON WAS OFF AND CAR RAN FINE. SERVICE SCAN TOOL DID NOT FIND ANY FAULTS. AFTER THE SCAN, THE DASH MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE: "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH NO OTHER ERROR MESSAGES AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ON FORD VEHICLES. SIMPLY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT ERASE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE OF THE TOTAL LOSS OF POWER.

FOR A WHILE KNOW MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED AND THEN SHAKE AT WHICH TIME I WOULD PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AFTER SOME TIME I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR UP AGAIN AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. NO MECHANIC CAN ACTUALLY FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR SO THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO COME BACK IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL FILTER SO I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC TO USE FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN MY CAR. I HAVE DONE THAT AND IT APPEARED TO WORK HOWEVER IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE OFF AND ON FOR A WHILE BUT CAN NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I NOTICED THAT WITH THIS MODEL YEAR EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND OUR FREEWAYS ARE NOT THE BEST PLACES TO BREAK DOWN.

I JUST HIT 40,000 MILES, VEHICLE HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. ACCELERATION TAKE TOO LONG AND ONCE IT KICKS IN IT SLAMS INTO GEAR. IF I NEED TO REVERSE IT WON'T FIND THE GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES , I SLAMS INTO GEAR, THE WRENCH CONTINUES TO APPEAR ON DASH WHEN SAID EVENT IS HAPPENING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THAT TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE. VERY UNSAFE. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS IT BECOMES A HAZARD TO EVERYONE AROUND ME. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME THIS WOULD BE GREAT.

MY THROTTLE BODY IS GIVING ME ISSUES. IT WILL HESITATE AND REACT AS IF IT WILL STALL ON OCCASION WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL JERK BADLY. NO ENGINE LIGHTS APPEAR ON MY DASH, HOWEVER I WAS NOTIFIED BY FORD THERE IS A REPLACEMENT EXTENDED WARRANTY, YET THAT EXTENSION DOES NOT COVER THE INITIAL CHARGE FROM THE DEALER TO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY OUT, WHICH IS DEAD WRONG OF FORD. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COVER ANY AND ALL CHARGES REGARDING THIS THE THROTTLE BODY. IN ADDITION MY VEHICLES RACK AND PINION OR PWER STEERING SUEELS ALOT WHILE IN DRIVING, IVE CHECK FLUID LEVELS AND THEY ARE NORMAL, YET IT WILL MAKE ALOT OF NOISE.
