2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY FAIRLY NEW AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF FORD FUSION UP A HILL WITH MY FIANCE' AND 1 MONTH OLD BABY COMING HOME. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED AND CAUSE CARS TO ALMOST CRASH INTO ME. I HAD TO HURRY PULL OVER AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS NOT MAKING A TURN THROUGH TRAFFIC OR ELSE A TRAGEDIES COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I TRADED MY OTHER FORD FOR THIS NEW ONE THINKING IT WAS SAFER CHOICE. THE ENGINE TOOL CAME ON THEN WENT OFF AS I SHUT THE CAR OFF. TODAY I WAS DRIVING AGAIN ON 11/4/13 AND I WAS GOING THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT AND BOOM CAR STALLED AGAIN!! THIS TIME TRAFFIC RUSHING TO ME ON THE SIDE WHERE THEY CAN'T SEE MY HAZARDS ON. AGAIN WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR!!! I HAD TO RUN OUT TO STOP TRAFFIC. PLEASE NHTSA HAVE FORD FIX THIS ASAP OR MANY PEOPLE MAY BE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!! THEY ARE PUTTING BABIES AT RISK TOO!!! *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 50 MPH. THE ADVANCED TRAC LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, SAYING TO SERVICE THE ADVANCE TRAC IS NEEDED, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED HARSHLY AN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AN WOULD NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER CUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE HIGHER THAN 20 MPH IN TRAFFIC ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON. I HAD TO CONTINUE THIS PROCEDURE THE ENTIRE COMMUTE TO MY WORK PLACE WHICH WAS A 50 MILE COMMUTE ONE WAY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR 16 HOURS TO HOPEFULLY RESET THE SYSTEM. I CAME OUT TO GET IN MY VEHICLE TO HOPEFULLY GO HOME AN THE SAME ACTIONS STARTED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE ENTIRE TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TO ANALYZE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AN HAD TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION PAN DOWN TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS EXACTLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE WAS DONE THE NEXT MORNING AN I FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS SHAVED WITH IN THE TRANSMISSION AN THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE COST WAS GOING TO BE AT LEAST 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I KNOW THAT OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS MUST HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE ON THESE VEHICLES AN ALSO I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM ALSO ON THIS SAME VEHICLE WHICH COST ME 600 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM ALSO IN APRIL OF 2012. THIS WAS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE NOW SINCE IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AN RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH THE REPEATED PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE V6 FLEX FUEL HAS QUIT ABOUT SIX TIMES OVER THE PAST TEN DAYS. THE FIRST DISTRESSING INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT 9 P.M. ON AN ISOLATED COUNTY ROAD WITH MY 4-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON IN THE CAR. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STALLED & SEEMED TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR QUIT PULLING, A WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH, THEN STARTING BUCKING & IDLING ERRATICALLY. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER & TURNED OFF THE KEY. I RETRIED THE IGNITION & CAR RESTARTED. AFTER MAKING SURE IT WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN, I PULLED BACK OUT & CONTINUED HOME. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAD JUST CHECKED THIS CAR 3 WKS BEFORE FOR "FUEL INLET LIGHT" ISSUE. TOLD THAT THE NECK OF THE GAS LINE LEAKS AIR/WATER (CAR WAS DESIGNED/SOLD W/OUT A GAS CAP WHICH CAUSES THAT LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE TO LIGHT UP). WE BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM, ONCE AGAIN, OR PERHAPS I HAD GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. WE HAD BEEN TO TOWN, ADDED FUEL CLEANER, FILLED THE TANK & HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. THEN MY MOTHER-IN-LAW PASSED AWAY TWO DAYS LATER & THE CAR QUIT OUT OF STATE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HWY! WE ALMOST DIDN'T GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD & ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO RESTART THAT TIME. LATEST EPISODE WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM FUNERAL (ABT 40 MLS AWAY), IT QUIT AGAIN AT 11 P.M. THAT NIGHT. NOW WE'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THROTTLE BODY IS GOING OUT. THIS IS NOT ONLY OUTRAGEOUS FOR MILEAGE ON IT, BUT INCREDIBLY HAZARDOUS TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD! GIVEN THE SHEAR NUMBER OF RECORDED COMPLAINTS/INCIDENTS (FOR THE SAME PROBLEM) SEEN HERE AS WELL AS IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL FORD CUSTOMER ALL MY LIFE, BUT I AM THINKING OF TRADING IT IN ON ANOTHER MAKE & MODEL ALTOGETHER! I HAVE JUST ABOUT LOST FAITH AND TRUST IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLES JERKED ONCE AND THEN DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. AS I COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, I NOTICED THE RPM GAUGE SPUTTERING BETWEEN 500-1100 RPM. AS I STOPPED THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SHAKE. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED IT. I DROVE ANOTHER 5 MILES AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE BEFORE I ARRIVED AT MY JOB AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 85, SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, 70 MPH AT RUSH HOUR, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, SHE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED, AND COULD BARELY GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT DID START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SHE GOT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD HER IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH HAD GONE BAD. *TR

I JUST GOT OFF I-59 SOUTH AND WAS HOLDING ACCELERATION AT AROUND 25MPH WHEN WITHOUT ANY INDICATIONS OF TROUBLE, I GET AN ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE GAS PEDAL QUITS RESPONDING AND I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE BEGINS LOSING POWER DOWN TO A ROUGH IDLE. I PULL OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON WITH NO CHANGE. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND ONE MORE TIME AND IT RESET AND DROVE OKAY TO WORK, ANOTHER MILE AND A HALF. *TR

I FELT A JERK, LIKE SOMETHING MAY HAVE HIT ME BUT THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND AS I DID I NOTICE A LIGHT HAD COME ON (LITTLE WRENCH) AND THE CAR JUST DIED. I SAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND IT RESTARTED. HAVE CALLED AROUND AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FACTOR FOR FORD FUSION TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODIES. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN RECALLED? *TR

THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE FAILED. MY CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART AND WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO SEE FORD RECALL THIS PART. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH. CAR JERKED THEN SHUT OFF. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FULL BODY THROTTLE. *TR

ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, NO ACCELERATION OCCURRED. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL JERKY ACCELERATION NOW. IDENTIFIED AS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR
