2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE REGAINED SOME ACCELERATION AFTER IT WAS RESTARTED, BUT CONTINUED TO STALL DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

WE LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE STORE PARKING LOT. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR,STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC BEHIND OR ONCOMING WHILE MAKING THESE LEFT TURNS. WE GOT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, NOT UNDER WARRANTY, NOT ON RECALL, ADVISED AGAINST DRIVING OUR CAR, DID NOT HAVE A CAR FOR US TO DRIVE, WOULD NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL, AND THE PART WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH! WE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD THEM OUR SITUATION (MY WIFE IS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR A MONTH). THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR AND PUT US ON AN EXPEDITED LIST. HOWEVER, WE HAVE YET TO HEAR WHEN THAT PART IS COMING IN. *TR

ENGINE APPEARED TO CUT OUT AT 2 DIFFERENT INSTANCES TODAY. FIRST TIME WAS WHEN TURNING RIGHT OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE 2ND TIME WAS WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC. IN BOTH CASES, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND DID NOT SEEM TO EVEN COAST WELL. I HAD A BLINKING WRENCH ON THE DASH AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUTTING IT INTO PARK. THIS HAS BEEN A SPORADIC ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT UNLESS IT IS FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH LOST THROTTLE CONTROL. GAS PEDAL HAD NO RESPONSE. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. THE "WRENCH LIGHT" CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE THROTTLE WAS RESPONSIVE, DOVE APPROX 1/4 MILE AND THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED; HOWEVER, THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND WARNING LIGHTS RESET AND I HAD THROTTLE CONTROL. DROVE APPROX 1000 FEET AND LOST THROTTLE CONTROL AGAIN; HOWEVER, THIS TIME I WAS MAKING A TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE AND THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION(WRENCH) LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. AT THIS POINT I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. *TR

ENGINE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, CAR WILL NOT MAINTAIN SPEED, ENGINE DROPS TO ROUGH IDLE, ACCELERATOR IS UNRESPONSIVE. CAR MUST BE STOPPED, WITH TRANS MISSION IN PARK, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. IT HAS DONE THIS 9 TIMES IN THE LAST DAY AND A HALF ... ONCE WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. THIS PUTS MY LIFE AND PASSENGER'S LIVES AT JEOPARDY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. I CAME TO A STOP TURNED THE ENGINE OFF LET IT SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT SEEMED FINE, I ATTEMPTED TO RETURN HOME BUT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM TWICE ON MY WAY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER TO BRING THE CAR IN REGARDING THE PROBLEM. I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, HE SEEMED TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. $575.00 LATER I'M BACK ON THE ROAD. LESS THAN 4,000 OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS HAPPENS, IT SEEMS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH OTHER FUSIONS. *TR

I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY FROM ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH SO I COULD MERGE INTO FLOWING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO THE TWO LANES ON MY RIGHT AS THE TWO LANES I WAS COMING FROM WERE ENDING. AS I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO THE LANE ON MY RIGHT MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I STAYED IN MY LANE WHICH WAS QUICKLY COMING TO AN END. I PUT ON MY 4 WAY FLASHERS TO ALERT THE OTHER CARS I HAD AN ISSUE. I STAYED LEFT UNTIL I NOTICED THE CARS ON MY RIGHT WERE AWARE THAT I NEEDED TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP. THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS SHUTTERING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE SERVICE LIGHT WAS NOW OFF AND THE SHUTTERING WAS GONE. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC IT DID NOT GIVE ANY CODES. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES. THE LAST TIME ENGAGING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE AND IT IDENTIFIED THE THROTTLE BODY. MY MECHANIC CONTACTED FORD WHO WILL NOT COVER A REPLACEMENT PART AT THIS TIME, BUT STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE 17,000 PARTS ON BACK ORDER. *TR

I STARTED TO PULL INTO AN INTERSECTION AFTER GETTING THE GREEN LIGHT AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. I LET OFF THE GAS AND TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR VIBRATED A LITTLE AND ROLLED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED AND PULLED AWAY ANOTHER 50 FEET BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. IT WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY THE NEXT DAY. AFTER LEAVING THE SHOP IT HAD ONE JOLT DURING ACCELERATION BUT NO FURTHER ISSUE THAT DAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER AT ALL. THEY STILL DON?T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED SPITTING AND SPUTTERING (FELT LIKE IT HAD RAN OUT OF GAS) AND DISPLAYED THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. ALMOST A YEAR LATER (JUNE OF 2013) THE VEHICLE DID THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS TIME CUTTING IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. MY CAR WONT EVEN MAKE IT HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD NOW WITH OUT SHUTTERING AND SPUTTERING TO A STOP. *TR

JUNE 22ND DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY TO CHURCH ALONG MAJOR HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF 60-62 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST WENT LIMP AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CAR BEHIND SLAMMED ITS BRAKE AND HORN. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF CAR IGNITION AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES. NEEDED TIME TO COMPOSE MYSELF AFTER ALMOST BEING STRUCK FROM BEHIND. STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF. PLACED MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND DROVE VERY SLOWLY OFF THE NEXT HIGHWAY EXIT. LEFT CAR IN COMMUTER LOT AND CALLED MY WIFE TO PICK ME UP IN THE DEPENDABLE HONDA. THIS VEHICLE HAS PLACED MY FAMILY'S LIVES IN A UNSAFE POSITION. I WILL NEVER TRUST DRIVING IT. *TR
