2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT TURNING INTO A MARKED PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR MOVED FORWARD ABRUPTLY. THE ENGINE ROARED AS THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD, THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND MOVED FORWARD STRIKING A COLUMN SUPPORTING THE FRONT CORNER OF AN OFFICE BUILDING. THE COLUMN FELL FORWARD COMING TO REST ON MY CAR, INCHES ABOVE MY HEAD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST REALIZED WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE, BUT THE BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT. THE COST OF REPAIRS TO MY CAR WAS OVER $3000.00, PLUS THE COST TO REPAIR THE BUILDING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT NEW. THE DEALER'S EMPLOYEES STATED THAT THE COMPUTER DISCLOSED NO PROBLEM. THEY CONTACTED FORD ENGINEERS WHO ORDERED THE DEALER NOT TO ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. FORD CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM EVER OCCURRING. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION S, I WAS DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I DIDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR LIKE FIVE DAYS AND THE CAR WAS FINE BUT IT STARTED BACK UP IN JANURARY AND AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. IT HAS A CODE OF P211 WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND MULTIPLE FORD FUSION'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM. FOR SOME REASON FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID HEARING THE ISSUE ON THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES. IT IS A SAFTEY ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE AT 60-70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN YOUR CAR NO LONGER HAS A THROTTLE RESPONSE. YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SHUT YOUR CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM IT JUST DOES IT ALL OVER AGAIN WITHIN THE NEXT MILE OR TWO. FORD SHOULD REALIZE THE ISSUE AND MAKE A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE ARE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES THAT ARE PAYING BETWEEN $400-$600 OUT OF THEIR POCKET IF THEIR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX A COMMON PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH FORD FUSIONS. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION AT 33,000 MILES REQUIRED NEW REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS, BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING AND APPEARED UNSAFE. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CALIPERS WERE NOT FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT WILL LIKELY REOCCUR IF NOT ADDRESSED BY FORD, AND COULD PUT AT RISK THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. *TR

HEAD RESTRAINT DESIGN HAS THE HEAD PUSHED FOWARD TO THE POINT OF PAIN. THE HEAD IS NOT IN LINE WITH WITH THE SPINE. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DISENGAGED FROM THE ENGINE AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. THE REVS ON THE ENGINE WERE EXTREMELY HIGH. AS I WAS PASSING ON THE LEFT, THIS LEFT ME IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND VULNERABLE POSITION AS I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE RIGHT AT WHICH TIME AT A NEAR STOP THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY RE-ENGAGED. FIRST TIME, TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED TRANSMISSION. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED AGAIN, AGAIN WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS KILLS SOMEONE. IT IS NOT SAFE, DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY CAN NOT REPRODUCE, THERE ARE NO CODES. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED HERE AND ELSEWHERE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *JS

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING WHEEL STUDS *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THEY ONLY HAD ONE LUG NUT KIT AVAILABLE .

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

2010 FORD FUSION WILL LOSE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED, CAR WILL NOT STALL COMPLETELY BUT WILL JERK AND SHAKE WITHOUT ENOUGH POWER TO GET OFF ROAD. TOOL LIGHT WILL COME ON, AFTER RESTARTING CAR WILL DRIVE NORMAL. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! HOW MANY CRASHES WILL IT TAKE BEFORE OUR GOVERNMENT FORCES FORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO MECHANIC, NO CODES TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. FORD .....STEP UP STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT! WIFE WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY TRACTOR TRAILER! *TR
