2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 12,000.

MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM DEALING WITH ACCELERATION HESITATION. MANY TIMES I REQUIRED ACCELERATION TO TAKE OVER A CAR BY DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY NO POWER RESPONSE IN MIDDLE OF THE OVERTAKING. DURING THESE EPISODES THE ENGINE BEGAN OSCILLATING CRAZILY BETWEEN REV EXCESSIVELY AND THE RPM'S INCREASED RAPIDLY (FROM 7000 TO 10000 RPM) AND DECREASING WITHOUT CONTROL WITHOUT NOT POWER RESPONSE. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED A DELAY AND A HARD SHIFT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THIS FAILURE PUT ME IN A HIGH RISK DURING THETAKING OVER IN THE HIGHWAY AS POWER DID NOT RESPONSE AND I ALMOST COLLIDED TWICE THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SERVICE SHOP FROM THE DEALER AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. FIRST DEALER DIAGNOSTIC MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A MATTER OF REPROGRAMMING THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEMS HOWEVER PROBLEM REMAINED AND THEY RETAINED THE CAR FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION GIVING A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC OF BODY VALVES TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. FORD MENTIONED THAT NEW BODY VALVES WILL BE AVAILABLE BY MARCH THE 31ST, I HAVE NOT DATE FROM FORD AND DEALER WHEN CAR WILL BE TOTALLY REPAIRED AND IF THIS IS THE REAL SOLUTION. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SEL 6CYL. HAS STALLED TWICE ONCE DURING A ROLLING STOP AND THE SECOND TIME FULLY STOPPED. BOTH TIMES THE CAR JUST LOST ALL POWER AND THE ELECTRONICS INSIDE THE CAR QUIT WORKING WHEN RESTARTED. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF A SECOND TIME AND RESTARTING AGAIN THE ELECTRONICS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT YET AS THE DEALER HAS NOT HEARD OF THE COMPLAINT AND WILL CHARGE ME A SERVICE CALL IF THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION, HAS A PROBLEM NOT NOTICE THE CAR NOT STARTING UP. WHEN YOU START THE CAR UP, SO I THINK I START THE CAR UP. PUT IN DRIVE, IN ACTUALLY NOT ON. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL IS HARD TO SEE IN DAYLIGHT WHEN SHADOWS ARE CAST OVER IT. ALSO THESE FEATURES ARE AT A GREAT ARM REACH. *KB

I WAS PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY GYM, AND THE CAR WAS CLOSE TO STOPPING, OR STOPPED. THE CAR ACCELERATED, AND I HIT THE BUILDING. WHEN THE CRASH WAS OVER, I LOOKED DOWN AND MY CAR'S GEAR WAS IN PARK. EITHER THE CAR WAS ALREADY IN PARK, AND MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, OR MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK, AND AS THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD, MY HAND HIT THE GEAR, PUTTING IT IN PARK. I HAVE PICTURES DEMONSTRATING SKID MARKS (SHOWING THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED). THE CAR IS A HYBRID MODEL. *TR

FORD FUSION 2010 S - WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED THE CAR ACCELERATED UNTIL I DEPRESSED A SECOND TIME MUCH HARDER. THE CONSUMER FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT START IN AUGUST. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER INSISTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND EVENTUALLY, THEY FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS ATTRIBUTED TO RADIO FREQUENCY INTERMITTENTLY CORRUPTING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND A NEW GROUND STRIP WAS INSTALLED. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RECTIFIED. THE WEATHER STRIPPING SURROUNDING THE REAR WINDOW WAS LOOSE, THERE WAS LOOSE METAL AROUND THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL. *JB

THIS MORNING THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR UNTIL A COUPLE MILES LATER. BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL JUST CAME BACK UP FROM THE FLOOR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!! *TR

MY WIFE CALLED ME AFTER SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT WITH OUR 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. I TOLD HER TO CALL OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IN CARTHAGE NEW YORK TO REPORT TO THEM FIRST AS THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR THAT SHE HIT BUT SOME TO OURS. SHE GAVE THE COMPANY THE NAME AND NUMBER OF THE OTHER CAR INVOLVED TO WHICH THEY FOLLOWED UP WITH THAT THEY HAD NO DAMAGE TO THEIR CAR. SHE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE DEALER TO WHO I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY REPORTS OF BRAKE FAILURE ON THESE CARS. AFTER BEING TOLD OF NO TROUBLE FROM FORD I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE HYBRID BRAKE SYSTEM. I TOOK THE INFO BACK TO THEM AND THEY FOUND THE RECALL ON THESE CARS. MY WIFE HAD NO BRAKES WHEN SHE TRIED TO SLOW AND HIT THE CAR TO COME TO REST. NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AS IT WAS MOVING SLOW BUT AFTER THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF $120. TO THE HIGH OF $521. AND BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT NO CLAIM TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY I NOW AFTER TAKING IN TO HAVE REPAIRED I HAVE A NEW ONE OF $1948. FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SENT ME FORMS IF I DECIDE TO PURSUE A CLAIM AGAINST THEM. THE ROADS WERE DRY,CLEAR AND SHE HAD NO PERCEIVED BRAKING ON THIS CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON THE RECALL AND I CERTAINLY WILL FILE MY CLAIM WITH FORD BUT THE HOOPS THAT THEY WANT ME TO JUMP THROUGH APPEAR TO BE UNWARRANTED AS TO THEIR BRAKE PROBLEMS THAT DON'T SEEM TO GET THE ATTENTION THAT TOYOTA IS RECEIVING ON THE SAME BRAKE SYSTEM. MY DEALER AGREES WITH US THAT WE ARE IN NO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR BUT AT THIS TIME I AM STUCK WITH TRYING TO PURSUE LITIGATION AS THE FORM STATES TO RESOLVE WITH FORD. HELP PLEASE IF YOU CAN OR AT LEAST MAKE AWARE THAT YES FORD DOES HAVE THEIR OWN ISSUES. THE SAME BRAKE FAILURE OR AS FORD SAYS,PERCEIVED BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH A CONSUMER REPORT ENGINEER AND THAT IS WHERE I ORIGINALLY FOUND OUT TO TAKE THE INFORMATION TO MY DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE. *TR
