2011 Ford Fusion Speed Control & Cruise Problems

Car continues to accelerate after applying the brake. Has happened numerous times. Usually at slow speed

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.

MY CAR WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AS I NEEDED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THE CAR WAS ON LEVEL GROUND SO IT WOULD NOT ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE. THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND I COULDN'T STOP MY CAR FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAPPENED TO GLANCE AT THE TACHOMETER DURING THE INCIDENT AND SAW THE NEEDLE DROPPING BELOW 4,000 RPM. THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL RPMS AFTER THE COLLISION. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINOR. BOTH VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO LEAVE THE SCENE UNDER THEIR OWN POWER.

WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON , AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60 TO 65 , ON LEVEL ROAD , TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT ONE OR TWO GEARS. RPMS GO FROM 2000 UP TO 3500. TO GET IT BACK TO 6TH GEAR I HAVE TO CUT CRUISE CONTROL OFF. RPMS GO BACK TO 2000.FORD DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY CODES WHEN TESTED. CAR DOES THIS IN FIRST FIFTY MILES OR SOMETIMES GOES 100 MILES BEFORE DROPPING GEAR. CAR WAS BOUGHT 20 MONTHS AGO WITH 21C MILES AS CERTIFIED VEHICLE. NOW HAS 34C ON CAR. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD THIS PROBLEM. LAST TIME TESTED BY DEALER 3-2015.

HAD CRUISE SET AT 55MPH AND LOST ALL POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY. RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED NORMAL. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE MORE TIMES SINCE THE INCIDENT YESTERDAY. IT IS NOW DOING IT EVERY TIME WE DRIVE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LOSE POWER IN YOUR CAR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS ADDRESSED. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE/HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! *TR

MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC (SEVERAL TIMES), WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. IT STOPPED WITH NO PRE WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND I ONLY PURCHASED IT LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS AGO. THIS IS VERY DISHEARTENING! *TR

I OWN A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE TAKING MY CHILD TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY WE NOTICED SURGES IN POWER AT NO PREVIOUS INCLINATION OF A PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER I NOTICED THE SAME SURGE IN POWER AS IF THE CAR WANTED TO SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED A FEW DAYS LATER TO SURGES IN POWER AND ALSO MY CAR THEN COMPLETELY DIED AT A RED LIGHT. IT IS NOW FOUR DAYS LATER AND THE PROBLEM HAS RAPIDLY INCREASED TO A PROBLEM OF DYING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DYING WHILE IDLING SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, A CAR SHOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE OR COMPLETELY DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I COULD POSSIBLY SEE A SERIOUS ISSUE OR ACCIDENT OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED ISSUES WITH MY MODEL OF CAR AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND SHARE MY CONCERN. *TR

2011 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD STATING HE COULD POSSIBLY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN REDUCTION OF ENGINE POWER. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED, INSTEAD OF ISSUING WARRANTY EXTENSION. *JB

VEHICLE OVER ACCELERATED WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I PUT BOTH FEET ON BRAKES AND SHIFTED INTO PARK/NEUTRAL (HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES) AND CAR ACCELERATES TO OVER 7000 RPM AND AUTOMATICALLY GOES BACK DOWN TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY & MOTOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED (4/28/2014) YET IT HAPPENED AGAIN IMMEDIATELY UPON INITIAL DRIVE FROM FORD DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP KEPT MY CAR FOR 3 ADDITIONAL DAYS AND THEN ADVISED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND I WAS TOLD (SALES GENERAL MANAGER) THAT WHAT I WAS REPORTING TO THEM "COULD NOT HAPPEN". *TR
