2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS SEAL AT LEFT CV JOINT. I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT SERVICED DUE TO SLIPPING/ JERKING WHEN CHANGING GEARS. TOTAL OF REPAIRS COST ME OVER $500.00, 4 DAYS LATER, SEAL IS BROKEN AGAIN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE...AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE! *TR

THE CAR JERKED HARD ONCE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR THEN LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAD TO BE GUIDED TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. THE CAR JERKED AND BUCKED VERY HARD. WHEN TURNED OFF THE CAR RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS EXACT PATTERN HAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER, CAR WAS SHUTTERING AND "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE WE WERE GOING UPHILL AT THE TIME, WE LOST SPEED INCREDIBLY FAST BUT MANAGED TO MAKE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC LANE AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN AFTER A MINUTE IT RESTARTED AND RAN OK BUT WE'RE AFRAID THAT IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK APPROX 40 MPH, CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS, BUT HAD 3/4 TANK. WRENCH LIGHT LIT UP AND LOST ACCELERATION IMMEDIATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE - THINKING MAYBE DIRT IN FUEL LINE OR FUEL FILTER. NO LUCK. THE CAR DID NOT STALL, SO I PUT IN BACK IN GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP AT NEGLIGIBLE SPEED THANKS TO A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE TO A PARKING LOT NEARBY. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR IT SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK DRIVING IT AND STALLING SOMEWHERE MORE DANGEROUS. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AWAITING THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. SOUNDS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE THE OTHER DOCUMENTED THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH DOWN A VERY BUSY MAIN STREET IN OKEMOS, MI WHEN MY CAR JUMPED AND A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD THEN MY CAR DECELERATED RAPIDLY AND WOULDN'T MOVE. MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS BUSY STREET...I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT BEFORE IT HIT 0. WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD CARS FROM 2010 AND I THINK THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ORDINARILY AT THIS TIME I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 70+ ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM WORK IT JUST SO HAPPENED (LUCKILY) THAT I NEEDED TO STOP AT THE MALL ON MY WAY HOME. I SHUDDER TO IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY GOING 70 WHEN MY CAR STALLED...IT WAS SCARY ENOUGH AT 40 MPH. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE 2010 FORD FUSION THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THIS COULD BE DEADLY. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AT NIGHT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ENGINE STOPPED PRODUCING POWER. ROUGH IDLE AND VIBRATION, FORCING ME TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. PRESSING GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT EVEN THOUGH ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. THIS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES DURING MY 30 MILE TRIP. EACH TIME I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING MODERATE TRAFFIC. ONCE ON A SIDE STREET I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN THE DRIVING LANE AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. VERY DANGEROUS. ON ALL OF THE OCCASIONS THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR THE PART AND LABOR. FORD KNOWS THAT THERE IS A FAULTY PART THAT CAUSES A HAZARDOUS LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ERROR CODE WAS P2111. *TR

VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR GAS. HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON COBURG ROAD ABOUT 10:00 AM THIS MORNING AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROCK FRONT AND BACK AND MY SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED. I WENT FROM ABOUT 25 MPH TO DRIFTING AND ABOUT 2 TO 5 MPH IN TRAFFIC. I COASTED AND TURNED AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION AND PULLED OVER. ALL OF A SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO CHECK THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP. THE TOTAL COST WAS ABOUT $350 AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. WE HAVE 2 FORD FUSIONS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN TO THE 2012 WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING. EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT FOR AN ISSUE THAT HAS AN EXISTING PRELIMINARY EVALUATION - NHTSA PE13003. I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION SEL IN JULY 2010. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. IN MAY OF 2013, WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, MY VEHICLE APPEARED TO STALL AS I WAS TURNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL POWERED, MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE OR ACCELERATE TO SPEEDS OVER 5 MPH WAS INSTANTLY REMOVED. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR, WHICH DROVE NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ACROSS TOWN TO MEET THE PERSON PROVIDING ME A RIDE TO AND FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP. OVER THE COURSE OF AN HOUR, MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS 4 SEPARATE TIMES WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED TO ME THE NEXT AY THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, AT A COST OF $486. NONE OF THE COST WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT I WOULD BE ADVISED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE IMMEDIATELY AS THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PART WAS IN SHORTAGE NATIONWIDE, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY HAD 1 ON HAND. I HAD THE PART REPLACED, AND THE VEHICLE HAS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY SINCE. *TR

VEHICLE JUST STOPPED, COULDN'T ACCELERATE, LOSS OF POWER, COULDN'T GET ANY SPEED. *TR
