2016 Ford Fusion Cruise Control Problems

This failure narrowly resulted in a serious accident when my vehicle applied the brakes without warning and dropped the speed to below 40 MPH on the Highway! I was extremely fortunate not to have been closely followed by a large semi at the time. I researched on my own and found this was a known defect: Ford Recall reference #22S02 (21C24) March 2022.

I got into an accident around May 3rd. Roughly around 11 pm to 12 am. To inform whomever is reading, none of the issues I will list have happened prior to this event.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the dad was driving with the cruise control set at 65 MHP. While approaching a slower vehicle ahead the driver pressed both the brake pedal and the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel but the cruise control did not deactivate.

Car experiences unintended acceleration when trying to brake. Problem is intermittent. Brake pedal is hard with unintended acceleration making it impossible to stop the car even while standing on the brake pedal.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 67 MPH, the vehicle started to sputter. The vehicle inadvertently decelerated while the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate over 15 MPH.

Vehicle in motion on city streets and highways when vehicle began to stutter, not accelerate and stall then shut down. Check engine light comes on and goes off randomly throwing code p2111 for throttle body being stuck open. Happens intermittently without warning.

Vehicle lost power while cruising around 70 MPH on freeway. Dashboard displayed a wrench icon and instructions to "refer to manual". All displays, climate control, and entertainment system still functional.

While driving my son's 2016 fusion on the highway at about 60 MPH the check engine light came on and the car seem to loose all power. The car wouldn't accelerate even though I had the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I managed to get to shoulder safely and parked.

The left rear caliper has been replaced 3 times in the last 6 months and is currently in the shop for a 4th. This locks up for no reason and ruins the brake pad and the rotor and I have now replaced all of that 3 times as well and the brake hose line.

I was driving my car on the interstate at 75 MPH and had the cruise control on when the wrench light came on and the car started slowing down and losing power. I pulled over and shut the car off for a few min, started driving, and it did it again. A couple of mechanics I've talked to said it could be the throttle body positron sensor or the throttle body itself.

Vehicle was in motion, 12 MPH. Husband made a left turn from almost a stopping position. He proceeded about one foot and the engine stopped after it sputtered extremely and made a loud noise.

This car is the second fusion hybrid I have. The 2015 and 2016 hybrid titanium had the same issues. I changed one for the other in hope the problem would be gone.

I was pulling into a parking space near power and phone lines when the car suddenly surged forward. I was able to step harder on the brake pedal and the car stopped after traveling about 2 feet. The ford dealer checked codes, etc.

While driving my car started shaking violently leaving me with no control of my acceleration. I had my children in the car with me and had to get through three lanes of traffic in efforts to pull over. Very scary situation.

Car put in park but stayed in drive.I had to put car parking brake on to keep car from rolling.

The shift busing cable broke while I was in reverse backing out of a parking spot. When I went to put it in drive nothing would work. The car would not even go into neutral.

Takata recall. Car loses acceleration when going uphill. Speed drops down to 20 MPH.

My car barely picks up speeds I have to put my foot all the way down for it to catch speed. My radio only works on one station other station gives out lots of stacked
