2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

CAR LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. CAR WAS JERKING AND SHAKING. THE CAR HAD A "WRENCH" LIGHT ON THE DASH. ENGINE CODES WERE P2111 AND P 2112. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THE ISSUE IS THE THROTTLE BODY. IT IS A SEALED UNIT AND MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE CONTACT PERSONALLY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

CAR IDLING ROUGH, ENGINE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN AT IDLE OR SLOW (PARKING LOT) SPEEDS. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OVER SEVERAL DAYS. READ THAT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE FORD FUSION CARS, BEING THE THROTTLE BODY. VERIFIED WITH MECHANICS. NO TROUBLE CODES GIVEN BY ON BOARD COMPUTER. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 65-70MPH. THIS HAS CONTINUED HAPPENING FROM TIME TO TIME, EVEN AFTER CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. IDLE ISSUES ALSO CONTINUE. STILL NO TROUBLE CODES GIVEN BY THE ON BOARD COMPUTER. *TR

AFTER TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY @ 60 MILES PER HR, THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION SPEED AND WAS SLOWING DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A WRENCH WAS SHOWN ON THE DASH BOARD.THE CAR WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER I TURNED IT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT NO SOONER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW WEEKS AGO ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS TRAVELING 40MPH WHEN I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND HEARD WHAT SEEMED LIKE A LOUD POP AND RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED MY CAR LOSING POWER AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE SPEEDOMETER KEPT GOING DOWN. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS NOT TOO BAD AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR A TRUCK TO TOW ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN THEY INSPECTED THE CAR THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR GAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AND HAD IT BEEN IN DIFFERENT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *JB

I WAS ON I 81 SOUTH NEAR STAUNTON VA, PASSING A LINE OF TRUCKS WITH A LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME WHEN THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS DOWN TO 10 MPH BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PULL OFF THE ROAD, ALL THE TIME BRACING FOR AN 80 MPH IMPACT. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT IDLE, BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE AND THE WRENCH ICON DASH LIGHT WAS ON. I CUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND IT RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM THE NEXT DAY, THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND SAID IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS FRAUDULENT BECAUSE IT IS AN ENGINE PART, AND THE ENGINE IS PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. I ORDERED A REPLACEMENT OFF EBAY, AND CHANGED IT MYSELF. YOU ONLY HAVE REMOVE FOUR 8MM SCREWS AND THE ELECTRIC PLUG. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME. *JB

I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY AND MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION BUT DID NOT QUIT RUNNING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF STREET AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATOR THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN SAME DAY SAME THING. IT WORRIES ME THAT I MIGHT BE KILLED THE NEXT TIME. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT NO RECALLS ARE ON RECORD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FORD SHOULD TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JB

DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR LOOSES POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF AT THAT MOMENT THERE WERE OTHER CARS CLOSE BY WOULD NOT START UP RIGHT WAS AFRAID CALLED AAA FOR TOE BACK TO MY HOUSE THIS IS NOT WRIGHT IM GOING TO HAVE TO FIX IT BUT FORD SHOULD REIMBURST ME & NOW IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR

THIS CAR HAS TO HAVE A RECALL .. BOTTOM LINE ! I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 15MPH IN THE CITY MAKING A LEFT HAND T URN AND THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SPUTTERD I HIT THE GAS AND NOTHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH WRENCH .. SAT THER FOR 10 MIN RESTARTED CAR AND MADE IT HOME .. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN CAR SINCE !!!! AND TODAY IS THE 18TH .. SIMPLY TO SCARED !! AFTER READING ALL INFO ON LINE IM LEANING TOWARD THE ( THROTTLE BODY ) BUT THIS EXPENCE I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET DELARSHIP SAYS AROUND 5-6 HUNDRED DOLLARS THAT I DONT HAVE RIGHT NOW .. SO I HAVE TO WALK PAST A CAR THAT IM STILL PAYING ON TO GET ON THE BUS UNTIL I HAVE ENOUGH TO FIX ... FORD ( FIX OR REPAIR DAILY ) IS WHAT FORD STANDS FOR !!!!!

WHILE ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN FROM COLUMBIA, MO TO CHICAGO, IL ON 08/09/2013 WHEN THE FIRST THROTTLE PROBLEM STARTED. WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON THE ROAD DRIVING 60MPH, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SLOWED ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH MY DOING IT. I HAD TO HURRY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE STATE TROOPER FOR MISSOURI PULLED BEHIND US TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WE DIDN'T KNOW SO WE LOOKED IN OUR HANDBOOK. THEN WE NOTICED THAT IT MEANS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE AND TO SERVICE IT IF THE PROBLEM PERSIST. DURING THE WEEK OF 09/09/2013-0913/2013 WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL ORDER. OUR MECHANIC ESTIMATED THE COST TO FIX THE THROTTLE ISSUE TO BE BETWEEN $500-$600. TODAY 09/18/2013 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK, THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED ON ME 3 TIMES. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT COMPLAINT WITH OTHER OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND NO RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN MADE AS OF YET.
