2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. APPLIED BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOW AND WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND HAD TO PUSH GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES HARD BEFORE ENGINE WOULD RESPOND. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE TRAVELING FROM FLORIDA TO CANADA. I HAD THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN WETASKIWIN, ALBERTA, CANADA CHECK THE VEHICLE, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT I AM FEARFUL THAT, IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I COULD BE REAR-ENDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK TRAVELING 2 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER.

MY 2010 FUSION HAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME PCM CODE OF P0456 WHICH DEALS WITH EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THE SERVICING DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS NOR HOW TO FIX IT- EVEN AFTER CALLING TECH SUPPORT AND HAVING A FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER ASSIGNED. WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON, MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS IS DOWNRIGHT FRIGHTFUL AS THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO. ONE WOULD THINK THAT AFTER FIVE REPAIR ATTEMPTS IN 14 MONTHS THE ISSUE WOULD BE CORRECTED. THIS LAST TIME IT TOOK LESS THAN THREE DAYS AND 122 MILES FOR THE ISSUE TO REAPPEAR. THERE IS A TSB FOR THE ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY THAT DID NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. *TR

AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED TELLING ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CODES PULLED WERE P0010, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204. THE DEALER CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND REASSEMBLED. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN ON 5/30/11 AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME CODES AS THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS FOUND WITH AN ADDITIONAL CODE OF P1A03. AGAIN THE DEALER CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND REASSEMBLED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY THE CARS AROUND YOU DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO DRAMATICALLY SLOW DOWN. IF YOU MANAGE TO SAFELY MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT YOU STILL FACE ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE BEING STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC GOING BY AT 65 MPH.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION THAT I BOUGHT IN JUNE 2009. SINCE DAY ONE I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP GOING TO SECOND TO THIRD . UPON HARD ACCELERATION LIKE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AND THE RPMS WOULD GO TO REDLINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 11/13/2009 AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THEY REPROGRAMMED IT. ON 2/23/2010 CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK FOR SAME PROBLEMDEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION. 6/2010 RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD SAYING THERE WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MENTIONED BEFORE.ON 5/24/2011 DEALER REBUILT THE NEW TRANSMISSION. ON 5/25/2011 COMPLAINED TO DEALER SAYING I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.5/31/2011 CAR IS BACK AT DEALER TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY VEHICLE CAME WITH THE STANDARD CLOTH FLOOR MATS, BUT MY DEALER "THREW IN" THE FACTORY RUBBER ONES FROM ANOTHER FUSION FREE OF CHARGE. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND TWICE I HAVE HAD A STICKING ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FLOOR MAT CREEPS FORWARD AND WILL SOMETIMES CATCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL JUST RIGHT AND KEEP THE PEDAL AT WHATEVER THROTTLE SETTING IT WAS LAST AT. THIS HAS NEVER CAUSED ANY REAL PROBLEMS FOR ME, BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT FORD MO CO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS AND EITHER ENCOURAGE DEALERS TO NOT EXCHANGE THE FLOOR MATS, OR TO INSTALL SOME SORT OF HOLDING MECHANISM TO KEEP THE RUBBER MATS FROM INTERFERING WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *TR

DURING A LONG TRIP BACK FROM A WEEKEND VACATION I FELT MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BEGIN TO WOBBLE. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT OUT I NOTICED THAT I ONLY HAD 3 LUGNUTS HOLDING THE WHEEL ON. I ALSO NOTICED A THIRD THAT LOOKED LOOSE. WHEN I GRABBED IT, IT FELL OUT IN MY HAND WITH THE STUD BROKEN OFF IN THE LUGNUT. THE OTHER 2 MISSING LUGNUTS SPOTS ALSO HAD STUDS BROKEN OFF. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL HAD ALSO LOST A LUGNUT AND HAD A BROKEN STUD. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION STEERING PROBLEM - CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT OR SOMETIMES RIGHT. USUALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS THE STEERING IS TERRIBLE, IT WANTS TO PULL THE WHEEL HARD TO ONE SIDE, ALWAYS HAPPENS ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE - SOMETIMES ON EVEN ROADS - EVERY ONE OF MY OTHER CARS DRIVE PERFECT ON THE SAME ROAD. TOOK MY COMPANY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT - THEY REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AND DID AN ALIGNMENT - CHARGED MY FLEET $1,200 AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND FORD WILL NOT FIX IT - JUST LIVE WITH IT. PROBLEM IS I AM STUCK WITH IT FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF... *TR
