I was driving my car, and with no warning the orange wrench appears and loss of acceleration occurs. Had to pull over and restart the car. This happened 3 times today and could have potentially caused an accident each time. There is apparently a throttle recall, but does not include my 2010 ford fusion. Not sure what I need to do.

I bought this car used. The previous owner said that this problem happened right after she bought it. Driver's side door won't lock, and is difficult to open. It won't open using the long door latch, I have to use that tiny latch above it. And it won't lock, even with the remote lock button either. My car is completely open to the public at all times.

Drivers inside door handle broke will driving. It was not possible to open the door from the inside without first opening the window and then opening the door from the outside.
When traveling home from work on november 4th, 2013. Vehicle's advancetrac system failed.this made it difficult to turn car as it made the steering wheel very stiff. This caused an accident when entering a parking lot. I took the vehicle to the dealership and was notified that the vehicle just became "out of warranty" at 75,000 miles. The estimated cost of repair was $1762.00 having the vehicle without its power steering has also affected my tires. Which needed to be constantly replaced.
Interior driver side door handle broke when attempting to open. Normal pressure was being applied to handle when the break occurred. Able to open door from exterior handle if window can be rolled down. This causes great concern if there is an emergency and unable to exit vehicle. Part is made of a low grade brittle plastic, replacement parts are of the same brittle plastic material. Same part as used on the 2006 fusion to the 2012 fusion, which all have this failure of the component which is a genuine safety concern.
The driver side inside door handle has broken the linkage behind the door panel. This causes the door not to be able to open from the inside of the vehicle. There are hundreds of owners experiencing the same thing. If I needed to evacuate my vehicle, I cant, and could cause my death...
Locks linkages and levers driver interior door handle failed while exiting car at gas station. Car repaired by mechanic (not ford). Handle linkage is made of chrome plated plastic which attaches to lock/door release cable. I had to exit the car by rolling down the driver's window and used the exterior door handle. Luckily the interior latch failure caused the door lock mechanism to fail in the unlocked mode resulting in the inability to lock the car. Interior latch mechanism cost 120.00 dollars plus labor to repair. Safety concern is that I have seen several complaints regarding the interior door latch for 2010 fusions at about 2-3 years old. Could the plastic be degrading due to age or heat? Living in ga the interior heat during the summer reaches well over 100 degrees. Second safety concern is that if this failure occurred in conjunction with a crash resulting in car fire it would be very difficult to exit the car by crawling over the console to use the passenger door--let alone thinking to roll-down the window to use the exterior door handle.
Attempted to exit the drivers door to obtain fuel. Internal door latch failed and would not open door. Had to lower drivers window and use outer door latch to open door. I believe this to be a significant safety issue as it would hinder or prevent egress from the vehicle in the case of a fire or flood, especially if the electrical system were disabled.
I was a passenger in a 2010 ford fusion and was in the front passenger seat and another person was in the right rear passenger seat. I was exiting the car and because the door had opened to far, I used my hands to pull myself out of the car. At the same time, the passenger in the right rear seat was in the process of opening their door and exiting. Due to the close proximity of their door edge (approximately 1/16 inch) and the car itself, a finger tip on my right hand was completely amputated when the door was opened. I was taken by ambulance to hospital where surgery was performed.
I was driving the road around 50 MPH.,when suddenly my car was idling! I tried to push the gas but the car was no power I gear off to the side of the road. I put the car to park. After I restart my car and seems nothing was wrong with it.I took my car to ford dealer schwabengarage ag stuttgart-vaihingen germany / garage to look what is wrong with it, they didn't see anything wrong with it. So I drove my car again, my boyfriend search the problem and found out that the throttle body is not working right ,but the dealer couldn't see the problem. My boyfriend order the parts anyway because I can feel that my car is going to break down again. I was driving this morning with my two kids when my car lose power again. I turned it off and start again and after 100 meters it did the same again. I was terrified and pray hard that the other car will not hit us. I took my car to aafes / military installation car care with the parts we purchased and replaced the throttle body. I drove my car home today and got home safely. I found out that ford fusion has been having this problem.
The chrome on the interior door handles of this 2010 ford fusion is peeling. There is a ford tsb on this issue as well as the federal safety agency item number - 10039156 which I have found online. As a result of this chrome peeling my son sustained a cut on his finger. I have contacted ford and they will not pay for either the parts or the labor to address this known defect. I would like to file a complaint against ford regarding this issue with the hope that they will address this.
While waiting for a traffic light, without any warning a truck hit me in the rear and pushed me in front of the van also waiting for a traffic light. As a result my car sustained major damage to the rear and front and also my rear window was completely busted out. My air bag never deployed. My car was totaled. I was transport to the hospital by ambulance. I sustained a concussion and injuries to my neck, back, wrist, knees, ankles, feet and arms etc. I have numbness in my toes and radiates down my arms and legs. My face was swollen and have painful pressure and numbness in my face. I also suffer from sleepless nights from the pain and headache daily. And a host of other symptoms. I am haunted by this day and can still hear the initial bang and the feeling like I was going to be crushed.
Drivers door release handle broke internally. Parts is plastic and is brittle in cold weather. This is second time it has broken. Major issue is that driver cannot exit door in a emergency and requires jumping over console to passenger side.
Pulled out into traffic and my car lost all acceleration and began to shudder when I got it to the shoulder. Turned it off, and back on: no issue. Less than 40 yards down the road it did it again. Took it to auto zone, the only code that came up was that my "fuel door stuck open". Which is impossible, because it came with a "racing cap" I.e no twist-off cap. Drove fine for two months, then came back something awful to the tune of freeway 75mph to zero, at which point it went into "limp mode" and barely made it home due to numerous stalls. Just had to replace this defective throttle body on a 3-year old car. Ridiculous ford. Also, my drivers' side interior door handle broke out of nowhere.
Three out of four interior door handles have broken. The driver's side door will not lock.
