2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid Vehicle speed control Problems

“While driving 65mph on a back road leaving harris co. My car started to speed up without me pressing the paddle and when I pushed the brakes I had to push it several times before it would work and slow down the car. It pretty much made us jerk forward when the brakes started to work. I have never had this happen until wednesday oct. 24, 2018 and don't know who to contact. I had my daughter and niece in the car coming from my son football game. That was scary and I hope it don't happen again.”

“I was driving 55 MPH on a 4 lane divided highway with eco cruise on when the vehicle just started to slow. No error light on the dash other than a brief flicker of the air bag warning light, all electronics, brakes and steering seemed to be working, but the accelerator pedal was very slack and there was no response when I repeatedly floored it. I rolled to the shoulder, turned the vehicle off and then on again, and it seemed to be working ok. It has not happened again in approximately 200 miles of driving, mostly at highway speed. …”

“My vehicle - from a stopped position - accelerated on its own to 40 MPH (rather quickly). However, the gas pedal was not engaging (ie. Depressing). This occurred at lunchtime on 17-jun-2016. All trouble lights on the dash lit-up. The behavior continued until I shut the vehicle off at the dealer (elder Ford in troy, mi). I was unable to engage the throttle at all; it was essentially 'dead', even though my vehicle was accelerating to 40 MPH and maintaining that speed. Braking response was diluted because the car was self-propelling (imagine trying to brake while also applying gas). …”

“While driving on the freeway feb 2 2016, the Ford Fusion Hybrid 2013 model, suddenly lost its ability to deliver power and propulsion. Loss of power to the vehicle resulted in loss of light to the console and to the car's propulsion system slowing it from freeway speeds of 65 MPH to what seems like 5 MPH or less, in the the evening rush hour traffic.all attempts at applying the gas pedal had failed to accelerate the vehicle, as there was no response from the power propulsion system. I was able to cruise on momentum to a soft shoulder. …”

“Driving at night, freeway with street lights, very light traffic, car on speed control at 65 MPH; about 50 to 75 yards in front of vehicle a plastic shopping bag flew across road approximately 2 to 3 feet above road surface, vehicle sensed the bag, speed control slammed brakes hard enough to set off ABS system. Same situation happened a few month later except in the daylight, car slowed dramatically for a plastic bag blowing across the road but did not activate ABS system. Talked to representatives at two different Ford dealerships but they indicated that they never heard anything like this. …”
