general problems of the 2007 Ford Fusion

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, there was an abnormal metal sound detected. The vehicle began to shake roughly and stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who informed her the failure was due to the axle. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

I didn’t know or the incident with the car until I purchased and started noticed the way it drives. It do have a problem with acceleration while shifting gears, and also loses power with a/c turned on.

I was driving at 25mph and the car started revving on its own. I had to slam on the brakes. This happened twice so far. City street. Straight. Both times.

While driving on a highway the wrench light illuminated and I experienced an unexpected, sudden loss of engine power and acceleration. The vehicle rapidly decreased in speed from highway speeds to barely being able to maintain speeds of 20mph. Engine power and vehicle speed are severely and rapidly reduced without warning while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are not effected. No sign of the issue the next day, once the car is turned off and back on. This seems to be a widespread and documented problem with the electronic throttle body including an investigation and two separate "customer satisfaction programs" to repair model years 2009-2013. Apparently the same throttle body part is interchangeable from years 206-2009 so likely it could be widespread in these model years. This is incredibly dangerous and needs to be a full recall.

Driving at 70 mph on the interstate, car suddenly shudders, wrench light comes on. I immediately pulled onto the nearest exit ramp and drove at reduced speed until able to stop. Shut off car, then turned ignition key to check diagnostics. All good? started car, drove maybe 50 ft when wrench and emissions lights came on and car went into 'limp' mode. Got off of ramp and shut off car for 5 min. Restarted car, emissions light on only, but car was drive-able drove 20 miles @ 60-65mph with no problem until I got home. Outside temp was -5f. Next morning checked car with obd2 diagnostic tool. A 'p2110' code appeared, signifying tac/pcm isssue/s. After checking earlier NHTSA records, this has happened many times! my wife uses the same car, and if what happened to me happened to her, most likely the results would have been fatal!!! is someone dying have to be what will get a recall? please do something. Thank you.

Takata recall engine goes into limp mode while driving down the interstate. Wrench appears and engine does not go above 2500 rpm. Shut vehicle off, it runs properly. Then it does it again.

The idler arm bolt has broken 4 or 5 times now. Once it happened while driving but thankfully we were able to pull over to the side. Last time was in a parking lot.

Loss of power while driving along highway or city street. Car goes into limp mode as you pull to the side of the road, a wrench symbol lights up on the dash. Shut engine off, restart engine and the wrench symbol goes away and the car runs normally. Until the next time, which may be months to years.

Loss of power while driving on the highway. Luckily there was minimal traffic and I was able to get to the emergency lane without being hit or run over by a tractor trailer.

Had to replace an ignition coil for a misfire obd code. After replacing coil problem still existed, so I researched online and found a great number of other Fusion owners who have had this same problem. Now I am supposed to replace all the ignition coils and the pcm. With the number of affected vehicles being staggering I feel that there needs to be a recall for this issue.

The transmission went out approximately November 1st, 2014 after driving on the highway and having the gear slip and not accelerate past 25 mph with high rpms. When attempting to shift into reverse from a stopped position, the car jolts very abruptly as well. The transmission was rebuilt per aamco recommendation. On April 29th, 2015, the transmission went out again with the same issue as before. Aamco stated that the solenoids needed to be replaced. The total cost for repairs has been $2,500 to date.

A wrench is displayed on the dash, and the engine loses power. The power is not restore until the car is turned off.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle's speed decreased and failed to accelerate. The check engine indicator and the wrench display illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,157.

Wrench light flashes on the dash as the car slows to 20 mpr or less, gas pedal to the floor and it wont go. I shut the car off and turn it back on it runs until it slows down again another 20-30 miles. This year shouldve been recalled as the 2009-2012 models.

Without warning, vehicle jerked, decelerated and slowed to a stop on the highway. Vehicle would not respond to pressing of gas pedal. Had to pull vehicle off to the side of the road. Orange wrench icon appeared. Turned car off and on again and icon disappeared. Not knowing when the vehicle is going to stop accelerating is extremely dangerous. It is only a matter of time before this issue affects someone while they are driving and are unable to safely pull off of the road.

I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive I was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, I was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about 5 min before happening again. I ended up pulling of the road 8 times until I just decided to call aaa and pay additional fees to tow my car into houston. It was scary and def. A safety hazard for anyone experiencing this malfunction. I took the car to get a diagnostic and sure enough it's a throttle body failure. I drove today with no issues, but I am sure it will occur again very soon. Ford really needs to recall and think about their customer's safety.

Very noticable is the jerking of the car, especially when accelerating.

After an engine light came on, I took my car to have the code read. The code that appeared was for the throttle body. After doing some research, I discovered that there was a recall for the throttle body for the Ford Fusion from 2009 -2012. My car was not included in the recall, but my throttle body according to the dealership is "erratic". I feel that the recall on the throttle body may need to be reexamined as my car, only two years older than those being recalled, is having the same issue. The part should not go bad that quickly. The car has less than 100,000 miles.

Pcm shorted out the number 4 coil and caught on fire. Coil was on fire when mechanic pulled it out. Have investigated on internet several problems with this but not a recall yet. Cost $800 to fix. Co worker had same thing happen this week on a v6 Ford escape.

My 2007 Fusion's computer went bad and burnt up coils. Grand total to fix it was $2200. Even though there is a service bulletin they wouldn't do anything. It is only if the car is under warranty. We bought this car as a certified used car and that meant nothing too.

Pcm failed causing vehicle to lose power and burn up ignition coils.

Vehicle was missing, thought it was plugs or needed tuneup. Mechanic said 2 coils were burnt out and needed replacement along with plugs. Had two replaced and 6 plugs replaced. The next week same problem, took back to mechanic, said another coil burnt out, checked computer and said dealer would need to look at problem, may be an onboard computer issue called pcm. Result: Ford dealer dx computer issue,calling for replacement and also all coils and plugs. Total cost of mechanics and dealer. . . $581 plus 2015= 2596. No problems since, but was warned that this could happen again by dealer, and that this would be warrantied. Not sure if that is true. Dealer would not admit to any problems with other Fusions, nor would regional Ford customer service rep. Will keep car for a year or so and see what happens, most likely trading within the next two years. Dont want that same problem to happen again.

I was driving to work on December 11, 2013 down rte 3a at approximately 8am. When I took a left onto westford rd. , and accelerated up the hill the vehicle suddenly cut out to the point it would not go any further. I almost was hit from a car from behind me who also was accelerating up the hill, but fortunately he swerved around me in time. I called triple aaa and they towed it to palmer'¿¿s automotive. According to the mechanic, the diagnostic showed one of the coil packs malfunctioned. . Upon replacement, the coil pack overheated and blew again. Finding it odd, the mechanic contacted Ford. Working with the Ford technician, a bulletin was found stating the car had a known issue with the pcm, the computer module for the vehicle. Ford told the mechanic, the part would be there in 2 weeks. 2 weeks went by and on christmas eve, our mechanic was told there is a national back order on the part and it would be 2 to 4 more weeks. Also, the repair would cost in the vicinity of 1700. 00 dollars. It is now 1/12/14 and we still have no car and no word on when it will be fixed. Ford'¿¿s recent ads infuriate me on tv about their reliability etc compared to other brands. The warrantee expired at 80k miles and this car has 84k on it. We are still making payments on a car that is inoperable for the past 6 weeks, as well as facing a huge repair bill, which adds insult to injury. Most importantly, I think about what may have happened if I had decided to take the highway instead of rte 3a to work that day, the results may have been tragic.

My son was traveling down road and car completely shut down. Computer and coils shorted out. Thank goodness he was able to move into turning lane. This would have been dangerous if he had been on the interstate. Need part number 7u7z12a650dla. Car is currently at dealership in waiting on part. It has been there over 2 weeks. We have been told 1000 Fusions are waiting on this part. Ford case number - cas-3034662.

Lost power while trying to pass a car car had no throttle and almost had a head on collisiongot got home had a air injection code p0491 in the system. Found a bad air injection pump loaded with water replaced the air pump and the problem is solved I see Ford has a lot of issues with water getting into thes pumps but refuses to do anything about it. Contacted Ford with no responce. I worked in Ford dealerships for over 25 years so I know how to diagnose these problems. I am not concerned about the money for fixing this problem I just feel the issue should be corrected before someone gets hurt or killed. Plate # new york dzz3222 VIN #3fahp07z47r239473.

Same vehicle as previous complaint (wrong year selected on previous complaint). The vehicle is a 2007 Ford Fusion se v6 with six speed automatic. While attempting to merge, another driver was blocking me by speeding to get alongside me while I was on a merge lane. The other driver then matched my speed. I hit the brakes because the Fusion will not slow down otherwise. I then hit floored the accelerator to prevent another vehicle from closing the gap, as he was attempting to do. The car did nothing for about 3 seconds even though the accelerator was all the way to the floor. The rpm did not change, the speed did not change and I had to hold the accelerator to the floor hoping that the vehicle would respond before the next car tried to cut me off and I ran out of merge lane. Do not call, I will not get any messages.
