2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE REAR LEFT WHEEL OF M Y 2010 FUSION WAS FALLING OFF. I MANAGED TO STOP, TOW AND FIX THE CAR. IN APRIL, MY PASSENGER RIGHT WHEEL FELL OFF CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL, HIT A POLE AND TOTAL MY 7 MONTH OLD VEHICLE. I WAS ISSUED NUMEROUS TICKETS AND LOST MY JOB DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT. ONE MONTH LATER, FORD CONTACTS ME TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FIRST EPISODE (I RECEIVED THE CHECK), BUT TOOK NO BLAME FOR ANY OF THE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS LISTED IN THE RECALL FROM FORD. AFTERWARD I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR MY FORD FUSION. *KB

TO BEGIN WITH I WAS ONLY HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS: MY CAR WILL JERK VIOLENTLY AND THEN SLOW DOWN TO 0. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED GOING SLOW AS IN MAKING A TURN, GOING FAST, AND GOING SLOW IN A STRAIGHT PATTERN. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE GAS BECAUSE THE SERVICE TECH SAID IT MIGHT NOT BE THE TRANSMISSION BUT SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL. IT HAPPENS ON FULL, 3/4, HALF AND A QUARTER OF A TANK, EARLY MORNING, AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR A WHILE. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 4 MILES EACH TIME I HAVE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WHICH APPARENTLY RESETS IT, BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF, BUT THEN COME ON WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED. I HAVE ADVISED MY FAMILY THAT IF I AM REAR-ENDED AND DEATH OCCURS TO SEEK LEGAL COUNCIL. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN GET THE CAR TO MIMIC THE PROBLEM, OR SOMETHING SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER. MEANWHILE THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, I ALSO USE MY CAR EVERYDAY FOR BUSINESS. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ME WITH AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION YET WANT TO KEEP MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING, THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, I AM SURE YOU WOULD HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS IF PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT YOU. CAN YOU PULL FORD'S SERVICE RECORDS TO GET A MORE ACCURATE RECORD OF THE MAGNITUDE OF PROBLEMS. DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION 4CYL AUTOMATIC WITH 20K MILES. I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010. I AM EXPERIENCING CHOPPY AND JERKY SHIFTING. WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL SHIFT AND JERK FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY JERK FORWARD. I TOOK THE CAR IN ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND THE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T GET THE ISSUES TO REPEAT AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I AM NOW COMPLAINING SINCE I NOTICED THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD IS IGNORING IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE LUG NUT DETACHED FROM THE WHEEL. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 33,000.

THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION V6 AFTER ONLY HAVING 45,000 MILES ON IT. ON VEHICLE NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD; A PART THIS IMPORTANT SHOULDN'T FAIL. *TR

THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION MOST OF THE TIME IT IS AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SOON AFTER BUT YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER WILL ONLY GO ABOUT 35 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR WHEN TRYING TO ASCEND A STEEP HILL IT WOULD ONLY GO 10 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY SLIPPED GEARS ON ITS OWN AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AND I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND AT THAT POINT THE CAR THRUSTED FORWARD AND JERKED. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT WAS GONE. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD THAT EVENING ONLY TO GET A PHONE CALL THAT THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I FOUND ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE LEAVING THE LOT. THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS NOR ANY TSBS ON THIS CAR! I SENT THEM A LINK TO THIS WEBSITE AND TOLD THEM TO READ IT. CURRENTLY THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME BACK WITH AN ANSWER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON IT 3 MONTHS AGO AND CURRENTLY I AM AT 29,700. I SURELY DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE LIKE THIS. I OWN ANOTHER FORD WHICH HAS LASTED WELL OVER 200K MILES BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN PLACED IN DANGER WITH ANY VEHICLE LIKE THIS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME WHEN THE CAR DOES THAT IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE FOR "SAFETY' REASONS. I DON'T SEE HOW SAFE THAT CAN BE IF YOU CAUSE A PILE UP ON THE FREEWAY. MY QUESTION I AM WAITING TO ASK THEM IS EVEN IF THEY DROVE MY CAR AND GOT THE SAME ISSUE, IF THE READ OUT ON MACHINE DOESN'T TELL THEM WHAT'S WRONG, HOW ARE THEY TO FIX IT? WILL THEY STILL SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE THEY COMPUTER CAN'T DUPLICATE IT? OR DO THEY THINK I LIKE BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME? *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 101. I ACCELERATED TO CHANGE LANES AND THE GAS PEDAL STUCK IN THAT POSITION. I PUT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW ME DOWN AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STARTED TO SPEED AGAIN, I BRAKED AGAIN AND EXITED THE FREEWAY AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OF THE ENGINE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GAS PEDAL, THE RUBBER MAT HAD STUCK ON TOP OF THE ACCELERATOR. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER TODAY THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER I NOTED ON THE WEB TODAY YOU HAD ISSUED A WARNING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN JUNE OF 2010, WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN OCT. 2010, AND I GUESS FORD DIDN'T TELL DEALERS NOT TO PUT THIS ALL WEATHER MAT ON TOP OF AN EXISTING MAT, AS PER THEIR PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS ON THE MAT ITSELF.

OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION SE WITH 24V 3.0 V6 WITH 6 SPEED SELECT SHIFT TRANSMISSION. WHEN CAR WAS NEW, HAD HARD SHIFTS, AND IN MID 2010 FORD ISSUES A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THESE ISSUES. AFTER THIS REPAIR, DEALERSHIP STATED THEY RAN A LOAD TEST AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. IN LATE 2010, THE HARD SHIFTS RETURNED AND THE DEALERSHIP "REPROGRAMMED" THE TRANSMISSION. IN LATE JUNE 2011 WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP, RECEIVED A TRANSMISSION/DRIVE TRAIN CODE (THE WRENCH SYMBOL) BUT NO NOTICEABLE ISSUES. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER, STARTED GETTING HARD SHIFTS. THE NEXT DAY, AS I WAS PULLING ON A MAJOR ROAD WAY, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT OF GEAR, ENGINE ACTED IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING, IT WAS REVVING POORLY, SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD, AND HAD A TERRIBLE VIBRATION. HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TWO DAYS, THEY HAD A VERY HARD DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE (EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM SENT CODES). THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION, AND SAID THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. TODAY, FIVE DAYS LATER, THE ISSUES RETURNED, BUT WORSE. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, AS YOU WOULD BEGIN TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND REV TO 7000 RPM. YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY LET OFF THE THROTTLE, AND ONCE IT WOULD DROP TO ABOUT 1500 RPM, AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD REENGAGE. IN GEAR 5 OR 6 AT SPEED, IT WOULD TRY AND DOWN SHIFT AND WOULD KICK OUT OF GEAR AND REV TO CLOSE TO RED LINE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TODAY AS I WAS TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. AS I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS.

POOR BRAKE RESPONSE ON 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT AWD. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY STOPPING SITUATION, THE BRAKES DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH FRICTION BETWEEN THE PADS AND ROTORS, THUS DOES NOT ACTIVATE ABS UNLESS ON SLIPPERY OR SNOW SURFACE. THE BRAKES DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. *TT
