2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND HAD NO POWER PUSHING ON THE GAS AND WOULD DO NOTHING I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OFF FINALLY COASTED TO A DRIVE AND SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED BACK UP AND IT RAN FIND FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN AS I WAS GOING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY I GAVE IT GAS AND IT WOULD DO NOTHING AND I NEARLY GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE AND FORD WON'T PUT A RECALL ON IT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX IT AFTER MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND HOPE FORD RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. *TR

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE: FIST OCCURRENCE- DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER. PRESSING ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE CAR STARTING SHAKING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS PASSING IN THE FAST LANE, THEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AGAIN, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SAME SCENARIO AS THE FIRST. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND NO ERROR CODES REGISTER. HE CHECKED TWICE. SO FOR A WEEK AND A HALF THE CAR WAS FINE. THEN HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN, NO WARNING, JUST LOST POWER. THIS TIME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HAD IT TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP AND A CODE DID REGISTER THIS TIME. HAD IT TAKEN FOR FORD AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS AS THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT PART OF THE HIGHWAY IS 75 SO CARS WERE COMING UP FAST BEHIND ME. IF I HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES OCCURRED THE FIST OR SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE SEEMED MY FAULT AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO ERROR CODES TO AT LEAST VALIDATE WHAT HAPPENED. PLEASE, PLEASE, ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. NOT TO MENTION THE PEOPLE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY THAT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION ON NOV 8 2012 DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 67 MILES PER HOUR WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND SET, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. REPAIR LIGHT (LIGHTED WRENCH) CAME ON, CRUISE CONTROL WENT FROM GREEN TO AMBER. ENGINE REMAINED ON BUT ACCELERATOR NO LONGER WORKED. WHEN ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED, ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP. BRAKES, STEERING, AND LIGHTS STILL WORKED. ONCE STOPPED, SHIFTED TO PARK AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND STILL NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED CAR. RESTART TOOK A FEW EXTRA SECONDS BUT DID START. CAR OPERATION RETURNED TO NORMAL. CRUISE CONTROL WORKED. NO FURTHER ISSUES. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, NO RAIN OR WIND, ROAD WAS SMOOTH. *TR

WHILE STARTING A LEFT TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION CAR LOST ABILITY TO GO MORE THAN 2-5 MPH. AFTER MANAGING TO COAST DOWN SMALL HILL. CAR HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN. DID SIMILAR LOSS SPEED, TWICE IN SAME DAY. SUSPECTED PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS ON BACK ORDER!!!! *TR

2010 FORD FUSION SEL. CUSTOMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CONTINUED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.*SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP HARSHLY AND HESITATE ON ACCELERATION. THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY AND SOLENOID BODY WERE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, ONE OF THE TIRES WAS LEAKING AIR, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION AND BRAKES. THERE WERE NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE, THE CD PLAYER DID NOT WORK AT TIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DID NOT STAY IN PLACE, THE GAS OVER FLOW TUBE WAS INOPERATIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL HARD WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD TO BE SLAMMED EXTREMELY HARD, IN ORDER TO CLOSE IT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS BACKWARDS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DRAGGED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SURGE ON ITS OWN. EACH TIME THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT CERTAIN PROBLEMS, SHE WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND.

WAS ABOUT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT OFF A MAIN ROAD AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF POWER STEERING AND VEHICLE STARTED DINGING SERVICE POWER STEERING AND ADVANCE TRACK. VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN, HAD SOMEONE BEEN EXITING THE LOT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. *TR

EACH TIME (8 TIMES) TRAVELING AT 40-67 MPH AND WITH TRAFFIC AROUND AND WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT; CAR THEN LOSES SPEED RAPIDLY TO ONLY A FEW MILES PER HOUR. BARELY ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE COMPLETELY STOPPING. BEEN IN SHOP TWICE AND BOTH TIMES, CODES DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING NOR HAVE THEY SEEN THE WARNING LIGHT AND IT HAPPEN TO THEM AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A TOTAL OF 150 MILES TESTING IT. AFTER EACH TIME IT HAPPENS ABLE TO SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND IT START BACK UP AND RUN. VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AS WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE CAR DRASTICALLY DROPPING SPEED (OUT OF OUR CONTROL) WITH EACH OCCURRENCE. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET READING SEVERAL STORIES OF EXACT SCENARIO (BLAMING THROTTLE BODY)AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECALL THE PARTS AND PREVENT A BAD ACCIDENT HAPPENING. *TR

I LEFT MY HOUSE TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO MY TRIP MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, MID-DRIVING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN GOING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH AND IT JUST DIED. THE BATTERY LIGHT, OIL DRIP CONTAINER AND THE BRIGHT ORANGE WRENCH CAME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE THE CAR. MY A/C WENT WARM AND MY GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKED. I MANAGED TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN I HAD TO CALL FOR SOMEONE TO COME GET ME SO I COULD BE AT MY SONS SCHOOL ON TIME. HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK ALL THE WAY AND WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS AND DANGERS WITH DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY DECIDES TO SHUT ITSELF OFF WHEN YOUR DRIVING FOR THIS TO BE ALLOWED TO GO ON. I AM WORRIED TO DEATH THAT I MIGHT GET RUN OVER/HIT FROM BEHIND THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT MY CHILDREN AREN'T INJURED AS A RESULT. *TR

THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT DID NOT LOSE ITS BRAKING OR STEERING, BUT WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER. *TR UPDATED 11/07/12*LJ UPDATED 11/15/12

CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TURNED CAR OFF STARTED AND IT RAN FOR ABOUT 100 FEET AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY I'M GLAD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
