2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT SPEED, THE CAR LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE CHECK OR WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. BEING ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT POWER SEEM TO PUT ME AND THE VEHICLE IN JEOPARDY OF BEING IN A COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. SINCE THEN THE ENGINE SPEED SEEMS TO SURGE. WHILE THIS HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED SYMPTOMS INDICATES A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE.

CAR CUT OUT AND WENT TO LIMP MODE. NO CODE WAS SET. FIRST REPAIR CLEANED THROTTLE BODY OK FOR 1000MILE THEN MANY SHUT DOWNS ON AN INTERSTATE MADE IT TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. CAR VIN INDICATED IT WAS NOT UNDER THE SO CALLED RECALL CAR HAD EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHER HAVE REPORTED ON VARIOUS WEB SITES THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! IF I HAD NOT BEEN A EXPERIENCED DRIVER AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULT FROM SHUTTING DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRACTION AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING SEIZED.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AN ALARM SOUNDED AND A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OFF POWER STEERING. AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST WHEN THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED, I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM AND NOTIFICATION WERE GONE. MOMENTS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER, RESTARTED BUT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW AFTER 3 RESTARTS THE PROBLEM REMAINS AND MY CAR REMAINS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER SAFELY. UPDATED 12/21/2015*JS

THE CAR STARTED SPUDDERING AND THE CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. IT STARTED JUMPING AND WOULD NOT ACCLERATE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 FORD FUSION APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN SHE FELT A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING. UPON GETTING HOME, WE FOUND A SEVERED WHEEL STUD ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON THIS VEHICLE. FORD ISSUED A RECALL BUT OUR MODEL FUSION WAS OUTSIDE OF THE AFFECTED MANUFACTURED VEHICLES BY ONE MONTH. THE FIRST TIME A FORD DEALER REPLACED THE STUD. THE SECOND TIME, ANOTHER FORD DEALER HAS REPLACED THE STUD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

THIS MORNING I DROVE MY 2010 FORD FUSION WITHOUT INCIDENT. WENT OUT LATER THE SAME DAY AND HAD THE POWER STEERING AND ADVANCE TRAC SERVICE MESSAGES APPEAR LESS THAN A MILE AFTER I STARTED DRIVING. I WENT 3 OR 4 MORE MILES AND HAD THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE GO TO SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW!. IN THE SPAN OF 4 MILES I WENT FORM NO ISSUES TO HAVING NO POWER STEERING AND BARELY BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. LOOKING ON LINE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER OR SOMEONE NOT AS STRONG AS I WAS WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR INCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT.
