Vehicle has less than one year since it broke down last and now I have another problem. The secondary timing chain tensioner has failed and lead to secondary timing chain failure broken rocker arm and maybe damage to the piston it has been problem after problem this car is a lemon and this needs to be addressed I was driving through and intersection and my car stalled luckily it started once more just long enough to get it off the busy road. There was bolts on the valve cover that's weren't even drilled through the plastic valve cover. There is no reason a fairly new motor should have malfunctioned like this.

The car will "shut down" (wrench error light) at any time, anywhere, any speed. Very dangerous!!! Error code p2111 throttle body actuator stuck open. I have seen numerous posts on this. Ford really needs to fix this!!! I will no longer let my child drive this car. So unsafe!! It happened to me several times a day probably three times in the last week. The vehicle is in motion, highway, city, straight, turns, fast, slow.

While driving at 40 MPH the car lost power and was only able to move at about 2-3 MPH. A 'wrench' warning light came on. Driving the car at this speed was unsafe and in hind sight I should have parked it and towed to a dealer.

While driving with cruise control set at 55 MPH, car began to decelerate, yellow "wrench" advisory light illuminated and engine appeared to be running rough. Car slowed to a stop and I pulled the car off the roadway. I switched off the ignition and waited approximately 30 seconds. I restarted the car. The advisory light stayed off and the engine ran normally thereafter. When the incident occurred, the car was on a highway curving turn to the right. The incident occurred coming out of the curve.

I was driving on the freeway going 60mph when all of a sudden my cars power just cut off and it went into limp mode and had the worst idle at 1100 RPM until I turned off the vehicle. I then turned it back on and the limp mode light went away but a few more miles up it cut power again and almost caused a wreck as I had to quickly think and get to the side of the freeway. It happened 2 more times that day til I got it home and got the engine code p2111. I found out later its a faulty throttle body that they used in fusions and other models and everyone is having this same issue of it randomly cutting off. It's a faulty throttle body that should be recalled!
