2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

MY FUSION HAS NOW HAD A WHEEL STUD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BREAK OFF. EACH HAS BEEN ROUGHLY EVERY 25,000 MILES. THE FIRST WAS LAYING IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE SECOND WAS MISSING WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THE THIRD BROKE OFF DURING A TIRE ROTATION. IN ADDITION ALL STUDS WERE REPLACED DUE TO A SERVICE BULLETIN EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. ALSO LUGNUTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG THE WAY BY THE DEALER DUE TO BAD WEAR. AFTER THE SECOND TIME I REACHED OUT TO FORD AND FILED A COMPLAINT BUT THEY SIMPLY FORWARDED IT BACK TO THE DEALER.THE DEALER HAS A RECORD OF ALL OF THE ISSUES AND THE FULL REPLACEMENT BUT HAS STATED SINCE FORD PASSED IT BACK TO THEM THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION FOR MY CAR. THEY SHOULD NOT BREAK 3 TIMES WITHIN 75,000 MILES. *TR

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR ENTERED "LIMP" MODE (WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT I COULD STILL STEER AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON) AND THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. I ALREADY HAD THE DEALERSHIP PERFORM THE THROTTLE FIX OF THE 2014 RECALL ON VARIOUS FORD MODELS OF 2009-2012. *TR
