2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPPING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AFTER REBUILD. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. *TT

THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS, AS OUTLINED BY FORD RECALL 10B15. THE CAR JERKS/SLIPS AND IT FEELS AS IF THE GEARS ARE NOT CATCHING UPON ACCELERATION. I RECEIVED THE 'RECALL' LETTER FROM FORD DESCRIBING THIS PROGRAM, AND IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PREFORMED THE MODULE RECALIBRATION AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE. HOWEVER, 40,000 LATER, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED EXHIBITING THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND FORD IS NOW REPLACING MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, ALTHOUGH NOT PAYING FOR THE RENTAL CAR. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ENGINE EMISSION AND MECHANICAL ATTENTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

POWER STEERING WAS IN A PARKING LOT. IT COULD BE STEERED BY MAN POWER. TOOK TO FORD GARAGE AND WAS THE POWER STEERING RACK. WAS ADVISED IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND ON CURVES WHICH WE HAD JUST DONE THAT DAY. *TR

I PREVIOUSLY SENT A COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY CAR KEPT STALLING, WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT WHEN I TURNED CAR OFF THEN TURNED ON, IT WOULD RUN, BUT THEN THEY COULDN'T GET THE CODES. BASED ON MY INTERNET RESEARCH, LOOKS LIKE 2010 FUSIONS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM BETWEEN 30,000 AND 50,000 AND IT IS ALWAYS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE THE CODES WERE NOT COMING UP. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, I PURCHASED MY OWN CODE READER AND AFTER MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (VERY DANGEROUS) THREE MORE TIMES, WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CODE MYSELF. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WITH THE CODE THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO LOOK IT UP.....AND IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY....JUST LIKE I TOLD THEM SINCE EVERY 2010 FORD FUSION BETWEEN THIS MILEAGE IS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT ON THIS CAR AND IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE CAR STALLS IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH, AND I WOULD LOVE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY I HAD TO PAY ON FORDS DEFECT. THANK YOU *TR

JUST STARTING OFF FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR STARTED TO STALL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MONTROSE FORD WHERE THEY DETERMINED A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED A FEW DAYS LATER. ON THE 16TH OF SEPTEMBER WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO GANLEY FORD ON THE 19TH OF SEPT. THEY INITIALLY DETERMINED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS REPAIRED IN AUGUST. ON THE 21ST OF SEPT. THE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE DROVE THE CAR WITH A COMPUTER CONNECTED TO ANALYZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING BUT FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NOW THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS HYDRAULIC RELATED BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS REALLY WRONG. INSIDE THE CAR IS AN INTERMITTENT NOISE. IT CAN ONLY BE HEARD WHEN JUST STARTING OUT OR AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. GANLEY FORD HAS NO IDEA WHERE THIS NOISE IS COMING FROM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND MADE THE CARE DOWNSHIFT AND UPSHIFT THE CAR HARD. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD BECAUSE THE RPMS WHERE JUMPING AS I CAM TO A COMPLETE STOP. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR SHIFTED HARD. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 24,000 MILES IN JANUARY 2011. I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THE TRANSMISSION WILL FREQUENTLY "SLIP" WHILE TAKING OFF AND SHIFTS VERY HARD AT TIMES. I WILL ALSO "SLIP" WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER ROAD SPEEDS CAUSING THE RPM'S TO REV BUT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. RECENTLY, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ONCE I GOT PULLED OVER, THE RPM'S BOUNCED UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES SO FAR. THEY REPLICATED THE ISSUE ONCE AND TRANSMISSION REPAIRS WERE MADE BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUED. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS SINCE THEY HAVEN'T REPLICATED THE ISSUE AGAIN. I JUST LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSION AND THAT THE 10B15 RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE JUST BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, FINDINGS INDICATE THAT THE RECALL HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE IN MANY CASES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO LEARN THAT FORD WILL NOT TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO PROVIDE RELIABLE VEHICLES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH LOST ACCELERATION AND COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. WRENCH OR SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. SHUT CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED CAR AND SERVICE LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. TOOK THE CAR TO NEAREST DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T PULL UP ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND FOR ME TO WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR AGAIN AND BRING IT BACK. CAR ONLY HAS 37000 MILES AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER FUSION OWNERS. ALL THE CARS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP ACCELERATING. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT WOULD STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF. UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.
