2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I WAS DRIVING THE ROAD AROUND 50 MPH.,WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS IDLING! I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS BUT THE CAR WAS NO POWER I GEAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR TO PARK. AFTER I RESTART MY CAR AND SEEMS NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.I TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALER SCHWABENGARAGE AG STUTTGART-VAIHINGEN GERMANY / GARAGE TO LOOK WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO I DROVE MY CAR AGAIN, MY BOYFRIEND SEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT WORKING RIGHT ,BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T SEE THE PROBLEM. MY BOYFRIEND ORDER THE PARTS ANYWAY BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING WITH MY TWO KIDS WHEN MY CAR LOSE POWER AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF AND START AGAIN AND AFTER 100 METERS IT DID THE SAME AGAIN. I WAS TERRIFIED AND PRAY HARD THAT THE OTHER CAR WILL NOT HIT US. I TOOK MY CAR TO AAFES / MILITARY INSTALLATION CAR CARE WITH THE PARTS WE PURCHASED AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I DROVE MY CAR HOME TODAY AND GOT HOME SAFELY. I FOUND OUT THAT FORD FUSION HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WELL I PREVIOUSLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING GEARS AND JERKING. WELL COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS FROM A LOW FLUID LEVEL CAUSED BY A LEAKING DRIVE SHAFT. ONE OF MORE THAN 2000 KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS OR I AM GOING BACK TO IMPORTS AGAIN. *TR

WHEN COLD VEHICLE FREE REVS BEFORE ABRUPTLY SLAMMING INTO NEXT GEAR THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS IMMEDIATELY! *TR

EVERY TIME ENGINE STARTS, FORD FUSION DASH DISPLAYS TWO (2) FAULT CODES: CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT, AND CHECK REAR PARK AID. BOTH FAULT ALERTS CLEAR AFTER PRESSING CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. HOWEVER, BOTH, THE REAR PARK AID, AND THE CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. EACH PROVIDES UNIQUE AUDIBLE BUZZING ALERTS WHEN AUTO IS IN REVERSE TO WARN OF AN IMPENDING CRASH/CONTACT WITH A PERSON OR OBJECT. TWO SAFETY SYSTEM FEATURES THAT NO LONGER WORK. *TR

FROM THE TIME OF STARTING THE VEHICLE UP TO APPROX 5 - 10 MINUTES THERE IS NO POWER STEERING IN MY CAR. I CAN BE GOING ANY SPEED AND IT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

TWICE IN PARKING LOT MESSAGE APPEARED -POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. AT FIRST APPEARED TO BE POWER (BATTERY) RELATED, BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND WHEN I TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN MESSAGE IS GONE, CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. - ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, SAME MESSAGE APPEARED AND POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS. TURNING ON AND OFF NO LONGER CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION ON A DRY LEVEL STREET AND SUDDENLY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND ADVANCE TRAC FAILURE DISPLAYED ON MY RADIO. IT IS ESTIMATED TO COST $1200 TO FIX THIS AND I HAVE SEEN APPROXIMATELY 25% OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD FUSIONS INVOLVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FAULT FROM FORD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY ALARMED SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING NOW. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED A FORD DEALER THEY SUGGESTED I PULL OVER TRY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT AGAIN TO SEE IF MESSAGE WOULD DISAPPEAR IT DIDN'T. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN TO BE SERVICED. JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT IT'S $130. WHEN I LOOKED ON INTERNET I SEEN THAT THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT NO RECALLS. I ALSO SEEN THAT IT IS VERY COSTLY AND THE PROBLEM RECURS. WHY NO RECALLS YET? *TR

WENT TO PULL ONTO INTERSTATE AND WHEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SPEED UP. ALSO THE ENGINE RPM'S WOULD ACCELERATE AND CAUSE HARD SHIFTS WHICH HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO START WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL GETS LOW ENOUGH TO TURN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON EITHER. ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST MONTH. *TR

WE LEFT OUR HOME IN NORTH FORT MYERS, FL, FRIDAY MORNING AND TRAVELED NORTH ON ROUTE 75. AROUND MILE MARKER 217, AND DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE 3 LANE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. WE COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL ON-OFF ATTEMPTS WE LIMPED OFF THE HIGHWAY VIA THE EXIT AND INTO THE TIRE CHOICE CAR CARE SHOP IN BRADENTON, FL. THEIR COMPUTER DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY MOTOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH THEY REPLACED ALONG WITH THE THROTTLE BODY SWITCH. IF A VEHICLE HAD BEEN BEHIND US AT THE TIME ON RT. 75, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!!!
