2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I TAPPED THE GAS AFTER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN & THE CAR REVVED REALLY HIGH BUT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. THEN THE 2ND TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR REVVED REALLY HIGH AGAIN & AGAIN WENT REALLY SLOW, LIKE SOMETHING WASN'T CATCHING. I'M GLAD THE HIGHWAY WAS EMPTY BECAUSE I COULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

HELLO I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION I WAS DRIVING TO GET ON HIGHWAY TO MERGE LEFT. WHEN I ACCELERATED I WAS AT 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFTED I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN SLOWLY. NOT TO SAY A CAR ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF THE DOWNSHIFT PROBLEM. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I START FROM A STOPPED POSITION I ACCELERATE AND IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND DOWNSHIFTS THEN THE TRANSMISSION KICKS IN. PLEASE RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY AND MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATING CAPABILITY AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN IN THREE MONTHS AGO BECAUSE IT WAS STALLING BUT I WAS TOLD BY FORD WITHOUT ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I EVEN DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH BEFORE I WENT TO FORD AND SUGGESTED THE THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR AND THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T CAUSE MY CAR TO DO THAT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH AND CAME UP BEHIND A TRUCK DOING ABOUT 50MPH. I CHANGED LANES AND WENT TO PASS THE TRUCK. AS I PASSED THE TRUCK MY CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY AND SEEMED TO NOT SWITCH GEARS AT THE RIGHT TIME, CAUSING A HARD SHIFT AND A "CHUG" FEEL. I PASSED THE TRUCK AND SLOWED DOWN TO 60MPH AND AS THE CAR SHIFTED AGAIN, IT CAUSED ANOTHER HARD SHIFT AND "CHUG" FEEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS. MINE DIDN'T START HAPPENING UNTIL AFTER THE PCM UPDATE RECALL THAT WAS DONE ON 2/26/15. I TOOK IT INTO FORD AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THERE IS NO WRENCH ON THE DASH AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A CODE, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED TO THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT MANY CARS HAVE AN ISSUE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SINCE THERE IS NO ONE THAT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO IT, THAT IT ISN'T BEING FIXED. PLEASE RECALL THIS AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE FROM THIS.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURB DOING 55 MPH AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE STEERING WENT OUT. WAY BEYOND MANUAL STEERING, EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE. IT WENT OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE ELECTRIC STEERING BOX IS A PROBLEM AND NOW I CAN BARELY DRIVE IT. MY WIFE HAS NO CHANCE OF USING THE VEHICLE.

I WAS TAKING MY WIFE TO WORK, AS WE BEGAN TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER DUE TO SLIPPAGE, HARSHNESS, AND VIOLENT SHIFTING IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS AFRAID WE WERE GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SO I PULLED OVER TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO PASS BY. SINCE THEN, ITS BEEN AN ONGOING OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ISSUE. WE'VE BEEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BUT STILL IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION VIA INTERNET I HAVE NOTICED THAT WE AREN'T THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. AS A HUSBAND, FATHER, AND CONSUMER I BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR MULTIPLE FAULTY EQUIPMENT COMPLAINTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENTS IF NOT ADDRESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 60 MPH AND THE POWER ASSIST CHECK MESSAGE CAME ON. I STOPPED IN THE NEXT TOWN AND SHUT CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED I SAID TO CHECK SYSTEM NOW AND HAD NO POWER STEERING WHATSOEVER. SINCE I WAS 1.5 HOURS FROM HOME I TRIED DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MILES AND DECIDED THAT WAS ENOUGH AS THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF CAR. ENDED UP HAVING SOMEONE COME PICK UP CAR A TRAILER IT HOME.

I TURN ON MY FORD FUSION 2010 ' I WAS LEAVING MY GARAGE IN A REVERSE MODE WHEN THE DIRECTION WHEEL STUCK NO OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION, WAS STIFF ONE MESSAGE APPEARS ON MY FRONT DISPLAY POWER STERING ASSIT FAULT I PUT AGAIN MY CAR ON PARKING, TURNED OFF WAIT FOR 5 MINUTES AND RESTART THE CAR AGAIN, MESSAGE DISPLAYED WAS ERASED AND DIRECTION WHEEL RELEASED, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE I-35 NORTH

CAR HAD SUDDEN DECELERATION, LOSS OF POWER, WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TRIED TO RESTART. CAR RESTARTED AND PARKED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. DID SOME RESEARCH TO FIND THAT NHTSB IS FAILING TO ISSUE RECALL BUT FORD HAS VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO FIX AND EXTEND WARRANTY. THE DEALER IS PLAYING DUMB ABOUT IT BEING THROTTLE BODY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED FREE UNDER FORD CSP# 13N03 AND HAD THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ON THE VEHICLE. *TR
