2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IN TO A FORD DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND THE STEERING GEAR HAD GONE BAD. HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON TURNED THE CAR OFF RESTARTED AND THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND THE CAR RAN FINE. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES THE LAST TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ABLE TO PULL CODE P2111 THROTTLE OPEN, THE CAR WAS IN LIMP MODE. FORD WONT FIX IT. NEW THROTTLE BODY PUT ON TODAY. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON 7/24/13 - I AM IN TRAFFIC ON BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST STALLS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ALL 3 TIMES TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED. HAD I BEEN DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 60 I FOR SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH AS MUCH TRAFFIC THAT IS ON THE 10. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH CAR JUST WENT TO IDLE THROTTLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT GOT REAR ENDED HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE HELP. *TR

JUST ADDING TO THE LIST. TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE POSTING A SAFETY COMPLAINT ABOUT THEIR 2010 FORD FUSION. HE FOUND HIMSELF NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME HE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND NO ISSUE, AND APPARENTLY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE OVERALL ISSUE. THIS MORNING (AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE) HE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A NON-DEALERSHIP AUTO MECHANIC - NO WORD FROM THEM YET. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HIS SAFETY, AND FRUSTRATED THAT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL GIVEN HOW WIDE-SPREAD AND LONG-KNOWN THIS PROBLEM IS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED TO LOOSE POWER AND WAS IDLING ROUGH. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH. VEHICLE WAS ONLY GOING A COUPLE MILES AN HOUR AS DRIVER TRIED TO MAKE IT BACK TO HIS MOTEL, WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. DRIVER LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, AND IT STARTED UP. THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN BUT IT HAS EXTREMELY LIMITED POWER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAILED THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. HAD TO WAIT TWO WEEKS FOR THE PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. *TR

DRIVER WAS DRIVING 2010 FORD FUSION APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND DECELERATE. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING POWER. DRIVER HAD TO PUT HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE SLOWLY TO A CONVENIENCE STORE WHERE SHE WAS ABLE TO CALL TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE VEHICLE ARRIVED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TO BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. CURRENTLY THE DRIVER IS WITHOUT THE VEHICLE THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOB. *TR

MY DAUGHTER OWNS A FORD FUSION 2010 AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENCES OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED IT AND ORDERED THE PART. THE PART IS BACK ORDERED DUE TO SO MANY FAILURES ON SEVERAL TYPES OF FORD CARS AND TRUCKS. A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA WOULD SHOW IT IS PAST TIME THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED!!! LOSING ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF PULLING INTO TRAFFIC WHETHER IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY IS EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS, THE NHTSA AND FORD NEED TO STEP UP BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK NOVEMBER 28, 2012 THE CAR DIED. LUCKILY I HAD ALREADY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ONLY DOING APP. 30 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. I FINALLY GOT IT TO RUN, BUT IT WAS RUNNING TERRIBLY. I NURSED THE CAR TO WHERE I WORKED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS TOWED TO KINGS FORD IN CINCINNATI (ABOUT 20 MILES FROM WHERE I WORK). THE MECHANIC VERIFIED A "DTC P2112" CODE FOR A THROTTLE BODY STUCK. IT WAS REPLACED BY KINGS FORD AND ALTHOUGH I WAS UNDER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE (3 YEAR/36,000). I WAS CHARGED 442.81 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. I COMPLAINED TO FORD AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD "TOO BAD". NOT HAPPY WITH ANY FORD PRODUCT NOW. I MANAGE A 330 VEHICLE FLEET WHERE I WORK. DO YOU THINK I'LL BUY A FORD AGAIN? *TR

THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE ON VEHICLE. CAUSES VEHICLE TO NOT GET ANY GAS AND SHUTS DOWN TO AN IDLE WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATING. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS KNOWN ISSUE. DRIVING IN DALLAS I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY UNSAFE WITH SO MUCH TRAFFIC. COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. *TR
