2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN JERKING SINCE WE BOUGHT IT I BELIEVE IN 2012. IT JERKS AT 25 TO 35 (EST...) AND NOT ALL THE TIME. IT ALSO DOES IT WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE COMING OUT OF REVERSE. I HAVE NERVES PROBLEMS AND I FEEL IT MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE. MY HUSBAND IT HEALTHY AND HE IS NOW SEEING WHAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. IT IS DOING IT PRETTY FREQUENTLY NOW. ITS APRIL 2014. GOING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL WE FOUND OUT IT WAS REPLACED AT 8000 MILES (EST) WITH PRIOR OWNER. ALSO ARE TAIL LIGHTS EDGING KEEPS CHIPPING OR BREAKING OFF. I SEE IT ON MOST FORD FUSION. AND LASTLY OUR GAS TANK LID IS BEYOND LOOSE. IT IS ALWAYS BLOWING OPEN. WE HOPE IT DOESN'T NEVER GET RIPPED OFF OR THAT WATER DOESN'T IN TO THE GAS. SIMPLE BUT MAJOR PROBLEMS. THIS NEW OF CAR SHOULD NOT KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS. *TR

DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE, ON MY WAY TO WORK. TURNED OFF THE CRUISE AND THE CAR "BUCKED." THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WOULD LOSE RPM AND THEN GO BACK UP AGAIN. TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STRANDED AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING. GOT HOME, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED, AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. BUT...MY CAR FOR SOME REASON ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE A 6 SPEED MANUAL. IT USES THE SAME THROTTLE BODY AS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CARS. WHAT GIVES?? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DECELERATING, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY FORCEFULLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

I RUN A LIVERY BUSINESS AND LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CLIENTS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC AND HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER, ALTHOUGH THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND POWER STEERING SERVICE NOW WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, HIS COMPUTER IS NOT PULLING CODES OR FINDING ANY PROBLEMS? I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND THEY ARE SAYING I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK ALTHOUGH I HAVE READ THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL ACTUALLY RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE I AM AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS YET? LUCKILY THERE HAVE BEEN NO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THIS EXISTING PROBLEM. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FORD TO RESOLVE THIS? MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED JUST LIKE THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION LAWSUIT. I AM VERY DISGUSTED. I AM NOW LOSING MONEY AS I CAN NOT RUN MY BUSINESS WITH NO VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 25 MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PERIODICALLY AND SUDDENLY CUTS OUT, MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE SUDDENNESS AND UNEXPECTEDNESS OF THESE INCIDENTS. INCIDENTS SEEM TO OCCUR WHEN RIDING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND ARE TYPICALLY NOTICED MOST FREQUENTLY ON HIGHWAY ON/OFF RAMPS. *TR

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING FASTER AND FASTER. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF TO GET IT TO STOP. NEXT LIGHT, THE SAME THING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THEY REPLACED IT. (RECALL?) WORKED OK UNTIL 3/27/2014 AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GET IT TO STOP. GLAD I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. GOING BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW, AS I CONSIDER THIS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION SE, I PURCHASED IT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DEPLOYED IN 2010. IT HAD 17 MILES, WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I AM THE FIRST OWNER. IT SEEMED LIKE A GREAT CAR. IN OWNING THE CAR I HAVE HAD TO GET THE ALTERNATOR CHANGED- 2 YEARS INTO OWNING THE CAR. AND RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN RIDING "ROUGHER" THAN USUAL. ALSO THE RPM'S WILL RANDOMLY GO UP AND DOWN. AND WHEN I AM AT A RED NIGHT AND MY FOOT IS ON THE PEDAL, THE CAR KIND OF "JUMPS" A LITTLE BIT... THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING SINCE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRANSMISSION RELATED OR WHAT- BUT FORD REALLY NEEDS TO GET THIS RECALLED IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THIS MORNING THE CAR WAS REALLY ACTING ODD. I WILL BE CALLING A MECHANIC TODAY AND SEE WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS WITH THIS CAR. I AM TERRIFIED THAT I WILL BE DRIVING WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THE CAR START ACTING UP- ESPECIALLY SINCE MY HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED ONCE AGAIN TO THE MIDDLE EAST WITH US AIR FORCE. FORD FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENTS OR WORSE FATALITIES! *TR

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH. SHE HEARD WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS A LIGHT POP, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED LOOSING POWER, AND NO MATTER HOW HARD SHE APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR, IF HAD NO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED SHE EXPERIENCED ANOTHER FAILURE ON MARCH 15, 2014. UPDATED 04/02/14

STARTED MY CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE, WITHIN 45 SECONDS OF DRIVING MY DASH SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND THEN SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, WITH THE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT COMING ON. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED MY POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND I COULD HARDLY TURN. IT HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE AND WHENEVER I START THE CAR IT SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR, USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID REAR END ACCIDENT, DEALER CLAIMS METAL BRAKE LINE FAILURE DUE TO CRIMP FROM FACTORY INSTALL. LOCATION OF FAULT WAS UNDER AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. DEALER ORDERED NEW LINE FROM TENNESSEE, TOOK A WEEK, RENTAL CAR $200 AND LINE REPLACEMENT $488. I SUSPECT EARLIER REAR BRAKE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THIS FACTORY INSTALLED CRIMP. *TR
