2010 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH, WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STALLED, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR ALSO BEGAN TO SHAKE PRIOR TO TURNING THE CAR OFF. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE "THROTTLE BODY". THE FORD DEALER COMMENTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG THE 2010 FUSIONS. AGAIN, SINCE DISCOVERING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN REFERENCE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, AS THIS PART/DEFECT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, WITH 58,000 MILES. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN, WITH CAR LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FUSION THAT HAS ACTED UP PREVIOUSLY BUT QUIT AND NOW ITS DOING IT CONSISTENTLY. THE CAR THROWS A LIGHT THAT'S A WRENCH SPITS SPUTTERS AND WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY FUEL NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRESS THE THROTTLE. I AM A FORD LOVER AND BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY FIANCE FOR A RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND NOW IM REALLY WORRIED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO CAUSE HER TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. IT PRETTY MUCH SHUTS DOWN ON YOU WITH NOT ALLOT OF WARNING AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS COAST AND HOPE THAT YOU CAN PULL ON TO THE SHOULDER. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT WORKS FOR FORD THAT HAS INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR MODEL FUSION AND THAT ITS ABOUT $550 TO FIX. I AM I HAVE A DECENT JOB BUT I HAVE A WEDDING COMING UP IN JUST A MONTH AND A HALF AND MY SOON TO BE WIFE IS ABOUT TO START BACK COLLEGE AND WILL NOT BE HELPING ME FINANCIALLY I JUST CAN NOT AFFORD THE PARTS AND LABOR. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS CERTAIN MODEL AND YEAR WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART IT HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN VERY WELL BUILT AND IM CONCERNED IF I DO PAY THE $550 THAT THIS PART WILL JUST DO THE SAME THING. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US THAT ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT IN LIFE AND RECALL A VERY POOR DESIGN. *TR

GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHT SMELLED "SOMETHING". 3 BLOCKS LATER AT MY HOUSE I FELT THE HEAT FROM THE REAR WHEELS ON MY LEGS AND REALIZED THE SMELL WAS FROM REAR BRAKES. JACKED UP BOTH REAR WHEELS AND FOUND THE WHEELS ALMOST IMMOVABLE. REAR PADS WORN DOWN TO 2-3MM! FRONT PADS STILL HAD 10MM OF PAD REMAINING ON ALL FOUR PADS! NO PROBLEM (OR USE OF) WITH PARKING BRAKE. CALIBERS HAD BEEN STICKING - DRAGGING FOR QUITE SOME TIME TO WEAR DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING WHILE LEAVING FRONT BRAKES WITH YEARS LEFT ON THEM. CAR WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. *TR

MY 22 YEAR OLD SON AND I HAD MADE A ROUNDTRIP FROM TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA TO THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA. APPROXIMATELY ONE AND A HALF OR SO MILES FROM MY HOUSE, THE RPMS ON THE CAR BEGAN WAVING WILDLY, THE CAR JERKED SLIGHTLY, AND CAME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP ON THE ROAD, WITH A TRUCK TRAVELING RIGHT BEHIND ME. I PRESSED MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOORBOARD, BUT THE CAR SLOWED TO A CRAWL. THE TRUCK BEHIND ME PASSED. I MANAGED TO KEEP THE CAR GOING TO MY HOUSE; WE COULD HAVE WALKED THERE FASTER. AGAIN, THIS WAS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I HAD 55, 187.1 MILES ON MY CAR, WHICH I BOUGHT IN APRIL, 2010, NEW. I RESEARCHED THIS (IT WAS LABOR DAY WEEKEND AND I HAD NO TRANSPORTATION TO SPEAK OF!). I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP; THEY CLOSED ON SATURDAY AT 2:00 P.M. THEY TOWED MY CAR IN ON TUESDAY MORNING. I TOLD THEM I SUSPECTED A THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BASED ON WHAT I SAW RE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I REPORTED THIS TO THE NATIONAL FORD WEBSITE. THEY TOOK MY COMPLAINT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY THAT MY THROTTLE HAD FAILED, AND FORD WOULD NOT ASSIST IN ANY PAYMENT FOR REPLACEMENT. I ADVISED THEM I WAS A LAWYER, AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT A PRODUCTS LIABILITY DESIGN DEFECT OR TORT LAWSUIT (IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED WHEN THE CAR DIES ON THE HIGHWAY). FORD COULD CARE LESS. I HAD TO PAY $394 FOR THE LABOR AND PART. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR CARS. THIS WAS MY 3RD FORD. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE MONEY I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT; IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, BUT FORD IS ENGAGED IN A BEANCOUNTING EXERCISE AT THIS POINT. REMEMBER THE PINTO? *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNED ON FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CAR STARTED REDUCING SPEED EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE GAS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I HAD AN OBD II MACHINE IN MY CAR AT THE TIME AND RAN A DIAGNOSTIC. CHECK ENGINE CODE P2111 CAME UP. AFTER RESEARCHING THE CODE IT SAYS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY DISCUSSION FORUMS OUT THERE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

ON A TYPICAL GOOD WEATHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AROUND RUNNING SOME ERRANDS IN THE CITY. SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED THE CAR GOING AT A CITY TRAFFIC RATE OF SPEED...APPROX 35-40MPH...I GOT APPROXIMATELY 5MILES OUT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN,AND A WRENCH SIGN APPEARED. EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND WENT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE WHICH I WAS BARELY ABLE TO DO. ONCE I WAS FULLY OUT OF THE ROAD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND BEFORE I COULD SHUT THE CAR OFF, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE/ VIBRATE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT A COUPLE MINUTES AND I PROCEEDED TO START THE CAR UP, WHICH IT DID SO LIKE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, AND THE WRENCH SIGN WENT AWAY. I PROCEEDED TO MY FIRST DESTINATION WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS. I LEFT MY DESTINATION AND PROCEEDED TO MY NEXT...I GOT ABOUT 3MILES OUT AND THE CAR DID, AND SHOWED THE SAME THING. SO AS I DECIDED TO JUST HEAD HOME WHICH WAS NO MORE THAN 10 MILES AWAY, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING 5 MORE TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON!!!!! I AM NOW HOME AND AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CALL A MECHANIC BECAUSE IT IS OF COURSE A HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MY VEHICLE "STALLED" ('LIMP" HOME MODE) FOR NO REASON, THE TRANSMISSION/THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I SAFELY PULLED THE CAR OVER, AS I SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO "JERK". THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THIS WAS BY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 15-20 MIN. I PULLED BACK ON TO THE ROAD AND A VERY SHORT TIME LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND AGAIN IT WAS "FINE" (OPERATIONAL). I THEN MADE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED LATE ON A SATURDAY EVENING OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY AND ON MY WAY THERE IT WENT INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" 4 TIMES IN A 7 MILE COMMUTE. FORD DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM FORD IF THEY ARE GOING TO COVER THE EXPENSE AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $460.00 +TAX TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. *JB

LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL. WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR ENTERED EMERGENCY MODE AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED. DIED 2 MORE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CODES ON CAR FROM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READ P2111 AND P2112. DEALER COMPLETED A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2012. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. DEALER WAS AWESOME WITH THE REPAIR AND HELP WITH SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER A/S GREEN X TIRES, SIZE 225/50/17. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED NUMEROUS CRACKS AND WERE COMPLETELY DRY ROTTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE FOUR TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I'VE BEEN NOTICING A SPUTTER/VIBRATION WHEN IN IDLE OR PARK. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. THIS MORNING, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY BEGINS TO LOSE POWER AND SURGE/VIBRATE/SPUTTER AND I NOTICE THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I'M COMPLETELY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND ALL I CAN DO IS COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE (VERY BUSY) HIGHWAY. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND SITTING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES I'M ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITH NO INDICATION THERE WAS EVER A PROBLEM. THE CAR IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND WRENCH LIGHT IS OFF. I DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I LEFT IT FOR INSPECTION. AS USUAL, I HAD TO CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR AN UPDATE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS NOT "ACTING UP" AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE. THEY DID AGREE TO KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF INSPECTIONS FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO BUT I SUSPECT I'LL GET THE SAME RESPONSE. AFTER DOING SOME LIGHT RESEARCH, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUSIONS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OR TSB ADDRESSING IT. I'VE READ POST AFTER POST AFTER POST WRITTEN BY INFURIATED FUSION OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S TIME FOR FORD TO OWN UP TO THIS, GET A SOLUTION, AND SEND OUT THE RECALL NOTICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

ON A ROUTINE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK, I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY RPMS FALLING FASTER THAN WHAT I WAS CONTROLLING WITH THE BRAKE. CAR WAS LOSING SPEED QUICKLY WITH NO RPMS TO ACCELERATE IT FORWARD TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION RIGHT OFF HIGHWAY, BUT BARELY AS CAR WAS APPARENTLY ENTERING LIMITED POWER MODE (DETERMINED VIA OWNERS MANUAL). UPON PLACING CAR INTO CAR, DASHBOARD WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF, SAT A MINUTE, RESTARTED CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WITHIN THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 10 MINUTES, THE SAME THING OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SINCE THE FIRST TIME, THIS HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION WITH RISK OF CAUSING A WRECK DUE TO LACK OF CONTROL TO NOT CAUSE CAR TO STOP ABRUPTLY IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. SHAKING HAS OCCURRED IN 4 OF THE 6 OCCURRENCES AND CAR JUST PUTTERS OUT UNTIL IT IS SHUT OFF. DETERMINATION DUE TO CODES READ IS THE THROTTLE BOTTLE- AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHILE THE LIMITED POWER MODE MAY BE A SAFETY FEATURE, ITS INTERACTION WITH THE THROTTLE BODY/IDLE ISSUES POSES A POTENTIAL THREAT. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THROTTLE BODIES ARE EXPERIENCING WITHIN THIS MAKE/MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN CARE OFF EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY BY FORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET FOR ABOUT 1 MILE AFTER COMING OFF A HIGHWAY. THE CAR HAD COME TO A STOP AT LEAST TWICE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I WAS COASTING (FOOT NOT ON BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR) WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN FROM ~30 MPH AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL (CC) HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. I TOUCHED THE BRAKE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE (PROBABLY < 1SEC OF ACCELERATION) AND CONDITIONS RETURNED TO NORMAL. LOOKING AT THE DASH, I NOTED THAT THE CC MASTER SWITCH WAS ON, BUT CC WAS NOT ACTIVE BEFORE ACCELERATION EVENT OR AFTER BRAKING. STATE DURING ACCELERATION IS UNKNOWN. MY FINGERS WERE NOWHERE NEAR THE CC BUTTONS (OR ANY OTHER STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS) WHEN THE EVENT OCCURED. PRIOR TO THE EVENT: I WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WITH CC ON AND ACTIVE. WHEN CC IS ACTIVE, I ALWAYS KEEP A THUMB ON THE CANCEL/RESUME BUTTON. TRAFFIC SLOWED AND I BRAKED, THEN HIT C/R (TURNING CC BACK TO ACTIVE -- MY ERROR). I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE ERROR AND SET THE CC BACK TO INACTIVE (EITHER BY BRAKE OR CANCEL, I CAN'T RECALL). CC WAS LEFT IN ITS MASTER-ON/INACTIVE STATE WHEN I CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH ACTIVE VELOCITY SET SOMEWHERE IN THE 60-65 MPH RANGE. THIS WAS THE STATE OF THE CC SYSTEM WHEN THE ABOVE DESCRIBED EVENT OCCURED. *TR

I WAS PULLING MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID INTO A PARKING SPACE AT ABOUT 3 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. TO AVOID IMPACT INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I TURNED THE CAR INTO A PARKING BLOCK NEXT TO MY PARKING SPACE. AS I DID THIS, I JAMMED ON THE BRAKE, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER AND CASING IN FRONT OF TIRE FROM HITTING THE PARKING BLOCK. DROVE TO DEALERSHIP WITH NO PROBLEMS. DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED NOTHING. CONTACTED FORD CORP. ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND WILL AWAIT TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AND DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ONCE IT WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TT

ON 8/19/12, WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-96 IN THE LEFT LANE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I COULD BARELY DRIVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE MOTOR SPUTTERED AND SEEMINGLY TRY TO DIE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, CALLED FOR HELP, WHEN HELP ARRIVED, THE TECHNICIAN ASKED ME TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED. MY WIFE AND I WERE ABLE TO GET HOME. ON 8/20/12, I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER TO GET THE MATTER CHECKED AS WELL AS GET AN OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER "SCOPED" THE COMPUTER AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS EVENING, 8/20/12, I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THERE WAS A LURCH AND I LOST POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WAITED A FEW SECONDS, AND TURNED ON THE MOTOR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I'VE CHECKED A WEBSITE THAT INDICATES THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS I EXPERIENCED. I WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK AGAIN BUT BASED UPON WHAT I READ ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS, I DOUBT IF THE DEALER WILL FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND LOSING TOTAL POWER. HAD WE NOT BEEN DRIVING ON A SUNDAY WHEN TRAFFIC WAS RELATIVELY LIGHT, WE WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

LEAVING FROM WORK ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MY 2010 FORD FUSION LOST POWER AS I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, IT SLOWED DOWN AND I LOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH INDICATOR ON THE DASH IS LIT WHICH INDICATES THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE ENGINE WAS VIBRATING BAD AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV UP. I ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A MINUTE AND IT RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENS TWO MORE TIMES IN 30 MINUTES ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THEY SAID IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I WAS LUCKILY TO NOT GET REAR ENDED THE 3 TIMES IN 30 MINUTES IT LOST POWER. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT'S STUPID THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE COST TO FIX THEIR MECHANICAL DEFECTS, THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THIS DEFECT. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. LOOKS LIKE NO 2013 F-150 IS IN MY FUTURE PLANS SINCE I WAS GOING THE BUY ONE. DO THE RIGHT THING FORD. *TR

VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY STALLS AND HAS TROUBLE RESTARTING IMMEDIATETLY AFTER FUELING. PROBLEM IS ONLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING. ONCE VEHICLE STARTS, PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL AFTER FUELING. *TR

LUG NUT RECALL IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION. THIS CAR HAD A LUG SHEAR IN 2011. I HAD MERIDIAN FORD PERFORM THE RECALL SERVICE JAN. 26TH OF 2012. MID AUG OF 2012 I NOTICED ANOTHER LUG HAD SHEARED. NO ONE HAS TOUCHED/TIGHTENED THE LUG NUTS. THE PROCESS OF SIMPLY REPLACING LUG NUTS AND THE ALREADY SHEARED LUGS IS NOT EFFECTIVE. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL ALL OF THOSE LUGS ARE STRESSED TO THE POINT OF SHEARING. I CAN NOT GET THE FORD DEALER TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN REPLACE THE SHEARED LUG. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR AS IT IS NOT SAFE AND THE WHEELS MAY SEPARATE AT ANY TIME. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT COURSE OF ACTION TO TAKE NEXT? *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED SPITTING AND SPUTTERING (FELT LIKE IT HAD RAN OUT OF GAS) AND DISPLAYED THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. ALMOST A YEAR LATER (JUNE OF 2013) THE VEHICLE DID THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS TIME CUTTING IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. MY CAR WONT EVEN MAKE IT HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD NOW WITH OUT SHUTTERING AND SPUTTERING TO A STOP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED WHEN THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL CONNECTION. THE CAR THEN STARTED A JERKING MOTION AND I HAD TO STEER IT OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY OF ON MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I COASTED TO A STOP, THE CAR SHAKING AS IT CAME TO A STOP. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED. IT STARTED UP FINE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. AFTER A MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I THOUGHT IT WAS PERHAPS "BAD GAS" AND MOVED ON. TWO WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE STOPPING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION (BECAUSE THIS TIME I WASN'T GOING 60MPH THIS TIME). THE DIAGNOSIS FROM FORD: A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THE CAR IS BARELY THREE YEARS OLD, IT HAS A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT (NOT CAUSED BY WEAR-AND-TEAR OR USER-ERROR), BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THE MECHANIC AT FORD SAYS THAT THEY SEE A LOT OF THESE SITUATIONS. THEY ARE GROSSLY NEGLIGENT IN NOT WARNING FAMILIES AND OFFERING TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES BY REPLACING THE BAD THROTTLE BODY COMPONENTS. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION HAS PINHOLE IN EVAPORATOR CORE/VALVE. THE CHEAPEST ESTIMATE IS OVER $900.00 AND THIS CAR IS 3 YRS OLD WITH 65,000 MILES. *TR

THIS MORNING I'M IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I START TO SLOW DOWN AND I LOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH INDICATOR ON THE DASH IS LIT WHICH INDICATES THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR. TURN IT BACK ON AFTER A MINUTE AND IT RUNS FINE. LATER IN THE DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. I'M READING THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT'S DOESN'T SEEM VERY FAIR SINCE ITS CLEAR THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING TO LOTS OF OWNERS. IT CAN'T BE A COINCIDENCE AND IT MUST BE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THE BUILD. THEY CAN WORD IT HOWEVER THEY WANT BUT SOMETHING THAT CAUSES YOU TO LOSE "POWER" I WOULD THINK IS PART OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. DO THE RIGHT THING FORD.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR THE WITH THE AUTOMATIC LOCK. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR COULD ONLY BE OPENED BY USING THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,781.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED: MY HUSBAND AND I HAD PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION IN JULY 2012. ABOUT 20 SOME DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. I GOT INTO THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR TRYING TO GO UP MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED THEY PICKED THE CAR UP AND GAVE US A LOANER TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. AROUND AUGUST OF 2012 MY HUSBAND, MY GRANDSON AND I WERE DRIVING AND WENT TO MAKE A TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AGAIN PLACING MY FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY PICKED UP THE CAR AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY MENTIONED THERE WAS ISSUE WITH WIRING AND THE PCV VALVE WHICH ALSO DEALT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. LAST WEEK MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A HIGHWAY AND PROCEEDED TO PASS AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 SECONDS AND THANKFULLY WENT BACK INTO GEAR. MY HUSBAND WAS GOING OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS NOW WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME IT PLACED OUR LIVES IN DANGER. WE NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR BUT I FEAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BUY THIS CAR AND SOMETHING WORSE COULD HAPPEN THE THROTTLE BODY IN THIS CAR WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. ONCE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURE, CAR FAX REPORTED IT REPLACED, AND ONCE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES VERY SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. MY CONCERN IS IT IS VERY LIKELY THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD AGAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE SINCE WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT FROM WITHOUT HAVING THIS ISSUE FIXED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45MPH AND THE CAR STARTS VIBRATING. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE GAS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE THE CAR LOST MOMENTUM AND STALLED OUT. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. HAD NO WARNING AT ALL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT TURNED OVER BUT AFTER IT STRUGGLED TO. THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN WENT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES! EACH WITH NO WARNING! I HAVE LOOKED ON A NUMBER OF SITED THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NEAR CRASH CASES AND ALL WITH NO WARNING. I LOVE HOW THIS WEBSITE SAYS "YOUR COMPLAINT INFORMATION WILL BE ENTERED INTO NHTSA-ODI'S VEHICLE OWNER'S COMPLAINT DATABASE AND USED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS TO DETERMINE IF A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT TREND EXISTS" AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND AN OBVIOUS FAULTY PART YOU STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A TREND? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! TODAY I JUST MISSED GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR DECIDED TO LOSE ACCELERATION AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING OUT TO MAKE A TURN ACROSS 4 LANES. THE LANES WERE CLEAR TO GO BUT ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE PERSON SAW MY FLASHERS AND HAD THE ROOM TO MOVE OVER AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. APPARENTLY FORD WANTS A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS BECAUSE AS SOON AS SOMEONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT(IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY) YOU BETTER BET THEY'LL GO AFTER FORD. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS APPARENT THAT FORD HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND STILL WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACT SOMETHING IS WRONG. YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT IF I GET HIT BECAUSE THERE PRODUCT WAS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART I'LL BE FRONT AND CENTER WITH MY LAWYER AND A NEWS CREW. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY CAR JERKED AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. THE RPMS WERE STUCK (NOT GOING UP OR DOWN) AND CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID GETTING HIT. TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE, BUT IT STARTED SHAKING, SO HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR, LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RE-START THE CAR. IT DROVE NORMALLY AFTER RE-START, HOWEVER THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN ONE WEEK AND AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCES OR ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED WITH ABOUT 43000 MILES ON IT AND AFTER ONLY A WEEK OF HAVING IT I WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOTICE THAT WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING THE ENGINE WOULD SEEM TO JUMP AT CERTAIN POINTS WHERE IT WOULD LIKE PULL YOU UP OUT OF YOUR SET AS IF YOU HAD A LIGHT PUSH FROM BEHIND YOU, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN A LOT IT ALSO VARIES AT WHAT SPEEDS IT HAPPENS AT. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME BUT IT SEEMS TO DO IT EVERY SO OFTEN WHERE IT WILL JUMP AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL OR WHILE I AM STILL ACCELERATING. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING. PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AVOIDING ACCIDENT. TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON WORKING NORMALLY. 1 MILE LATER SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED 12 TIMES IN 12 MILE STRETCH. THROTTLE BODY IS BAD. THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND NEWBORN CHILD HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION. IT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND I RESPONDED BY PULLING MY VEHICLE INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION 2 MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. THE WRENCH ICON CAME ON WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FORD MUST ADDRESS. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. *TR

MOVING ALONG AT 40MPH WHEN CAR SUDDENLY JERKS AND LOSES POWER. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON BUT MY CAR STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC. TURNED KEY OFF AND BACK ON-CAR STARTED AND LIGHT WAS OFF. A MINUTE DOWN THE ROAD AND CAR DID SAME THING AGAIN. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN 5 DAYS LATER. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE CAR LOSES THROTTLE POWER COMPLETELY.

I STOPPED THE CAR TO CLOSE THE GAS FILL LID, ENGINE RUNNING, WENT TO GET BACK IN AND ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED, THEY LOCKED THEMSELVES. IT WAS OVER 90 DEGREES OUT, LUCKY I HAD MY CELL PHONE TO CALL MY WIFE TO BRING HER KEYS SO I COULD GET BACK IN. IF MY GRANDKIDS HAD BEEN THE CAR, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SCARY PROBLEM. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (APPROX 20 MPH) AND CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. RPMS WERE THEN STUCK ~1000 AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. COASTED TO A STOP, SHIFTED TO PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR APPROX 5 MIN, STARTED FINE AND DROVE FINE.
