Unintended acceleration while slowing down (rolling with my foot feathering the brake) to park in a stall at my local post office my 2008 ford fusion instantly accelerated jump the curb crossed the sidewalk and hit the building. The car continued to rev spinning the front wheels until I shut it off with the key. I verified there is nothing blocking the pedal and the floor mat is secure and clear of the accelerator. I had my foot full hard on the brakes and was unable to stop the car. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Takata recall - I received the safety recall notice in march 2017. It stated that ford would contact me when the parts are available. I received the notice from tk holdings, inc. About the class action lawsuit vs. Takata. It states that the deadline for filing claims against takata is 12/27/17. I called towne ford dealership in orchard park, ny to schedule the replacement. They stated that they do not have the parts yet. My concern is that this is a stall tactic by both takata and ford to delay past the 12/27/17 date and absolve them of any exposure. I should not have to pay for legal counsel on this matter. Any advise would be welcome/

I was on the on ramp for the highway and accelerated to enter ahead of upcoming tractor trailer. I entered the highway and the engine completely shut down on me. I managed to get into the breakdown lane before being hit by the oncoming tractor trailer. I turned off ignition and waited a few minutes before attempting to start car again. It did start and I drove home. Vehicle seemed fine the next few days except for an incident where car was off, no keys in it, but bell kept going off when I opened the door. Had two more instances where car stalled when first started in morning, thought it was just cold. Five days after first incident it happened again. I started car and it stalled several times. When I stepped on gas it felt odd, like it wasn't getting the gas. I proceeded to put in drive, got a third of a mile from home and the exact same thing occurred. I was driving down the street and the car just completely shut down while I was going approximately 25 MPH. Would not start for about 15 minutes but once started I was able to get back home. Happened two more times and I am terrified I will be badly hurt or hurt someone else by causing an accident. No warning just a complete engine shut down. Now after all instances the check engine light has come on.

After I purchase my vehicle about 2 1/2 years ago I contacted my dealer multiple times in the past and I let them know it felt like my car was not accelerating properly and I was told that's just how ford's drive. Eventually the dealer ended up having to replace the coil stating that it had been burned out in the llama problem should be fixed. Now back in august it just got completely worse. I was driving and attempted to accelerate at a green light and my car would not proceed, at that point I continued to press on the gas and eventually my car slowly picked up and begin to go now every time I accelerate my car feels as if it is stalling.

My 2008 ford fusion se 2.3l, 5-speed manual, has shut off on the highway with no warning at highway speeds of 65+MPH. The engine would suddenly lose power and stall and I would have to coast and attempt to control my car at speed until I could get the engine restarted. I was unable to just turn the key forward to restart the engine and had to turn the key backwards all the way into the "off" position before attempting to restart the engine. The engine would not always restart on the 1st or second attempt. This happened to me twice over a 2 week period at high speeds before suddenly worsening and causing my vehicle to stall and not run in idle or randomly at any speed. I took my vehicle to a ford dealership where they diagnosed it as a faulty throttle body (engine fault codes included p0128, p0607, p2107) but refused to cover any portion of the repair despite the vehicle having only 35,500 miles and numerous complaints about similar safety issues on similar vehicles/components.

On an interstate merge ramp, the fusion suddenly lost power and felt like it would stall. Wrench light came on and engine surged with acceleration, but never got over 40 MPH. When I took my foot off the gas pedal, it felt like the car would stall; it lurched and managed to keep going very slowly. I feared for my safety on this very busy interstate. The car lurched and surged until I could get to a safe stopping point.
