2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

AFTER ACCELERATING TO APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, LEAVING OFF THE ACCELERATOR, ENGINE LOST POWER. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. ENGINE WAS AT SLOW ROUGH IDLE. AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF AND TURNING BACK ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS AND WE LET IT GO THEN IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 60MPH. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS A LOT ARE DOING THAT, PARTS ON BACKORDER, THERE ARE SO MANY. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL. SOMEONE TO DIE.??????????? *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY, I SUDDENLY LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL, REQUIRING ME TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE AMBER "WRENCH" WAS ILLUMINATED. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED, WHICH CLEARED THE AMBER "WRENCH" LIGHT, AND THE ENGINE/THROTTLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. I DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW'S HOUSE MY CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUSH IN THE GAS AT ALL. THE RPMS WERE AT 1. I CAME TO A ROLLING STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AN DROVE 1/4 MILE FURTHER AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME AND FELT IT HAPPEN, HE WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUS COST. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS AND AFTER READING ENDLESS THINGS ABOUT THROTTLE BODIES ON FORD VEHICLES THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I AM SO VERY THANKFUL THAT MY CAR DIDN'T SHUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ENDLESS NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SUCH A CRITICAL PART OF OUR VEHICLE TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IN MY OPINION A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT A SIMPLE PROBLEM, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG A CITY STREET HEADING TOWARD A BUSY FREEWAY. WE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED MY WIFE ACCELERATED (PUSHED THE PEDAL) TO GET GOING THE CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 500 FEET. IT LUNGED AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 2 - 3 MPH. WHEN MY WIFE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR WOULDN'T SPEED UP. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE CURB AS BEST WE COULD. THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY. A YELLOW WARNING WRENCH LIT UP SHOWING THIS TO BE A POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. THE CAR DID START AFTER ABOUT A 5 MINUTE WAIT. WE DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT. I AM AFRAID TO GET IN IT UNTIL IT IS CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALER. THUS, I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2010 FORD FUSION. HAD WE REACHED THE FREEWAY AND HAD IT STALLED LIKE THIS WE COULD'VE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT INVOLVING OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

WAS GOING 60 IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR AND CAR JUST WENT TO NOTHING IN SECONDS. HAD MY 14 MONTH OLD SON WITH ME. SCARED ME. CAR WAS PUTTERING WOULDN'T GO OVER 10 MILES AN HOUR. DIDN'T KNOW I COULD SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. FOUND OUT LATER BY DOING RESEARCH IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT IS WHAT IT IS. COSTING ME 600 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THEY CONSIDER IT A HAZARD. NOTICED AFTER DOING RESEARCH THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON ALOT OF 2010 - 2012 FORD FUSIONS. NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK IF THERE IS WAS OR GONNA BE ONE.. *TR

AS I ACCELERATED THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. I CONTINUED TO COAST UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A STOP ON THE EXPRESSWAY! THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME 5 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING 55 ON A TWO LANE ROAD. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING AS IF CRUISE CONTROL HAD SHUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO RESUME THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH NO SUCCESS, AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO DECELERATE. I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN SPEED, BECAUSE A VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST STRUCK ME IN THE REAR. I HAD TO MANEUVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND CAME TO A STOP, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN ROUGH, BUT WOULD ACCELERATE AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY 85 MILE JOURNEY HOME. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION 2.5 LITER ENGINE, AS THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED ON HER WHILE SHE IS IN THE FAST LANE. SHE PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNS THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER THE CAR DIES OUT AGAIN, THIS TIME THE SHOULDERS ARE NON EXISTENT AND SHE IS FORCED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD COULD'VE DIED LAST NIGHT AND IT SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RECALL THESE FAULTY VEHICLES OR AT LEAST REPLACE THE FAULTY PARTS THAT THEY PUT IN THEM. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ONE PENNY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND THE CAR JOLTED THEN THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASH. THE CAR THAN BEGAN TO SLOW AND THE RPM WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 1000. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY BADLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND HAS A CODE READER AND WHEN WE HOOKED IT UP AND THERE WERE NO CODES. I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT FORD IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THIS. *TR
