general problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion - part 2

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The manufacturer advised the contact not to drive the vehicle due to the recall. The contact stated that the part was available, but the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was not driven for six months and became totally inoperable. The contact stated that the brakes have rusted out, the accelerator and brake pedals go down to the floorboard when depressed, and there was an abnormal oil odor coming from inside and outside the vehicle. The contact called elder Ford (9560 n florida Ave, tampa, FL 33612, (813) 498-0779), but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 98,196.

I took my 2010 Ford Fusion to one of my local Ford dealerships for electronic throttle body issue. I was charged for $450 for the manufactured recall/investigation, when it is supposed to be free. Please find my bill attached in documentation. Thanks.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the brakes had failed to function properly when applied. The brake pedal had gone to the floor several times causing the contact to have to apply force and pump the brake pedal each time the failure had happened. In addition, there was no warning indicator when the eps failed causing the steering wheel to have been extremely tight when attempting to turn the steering wheel in either direction. The vehicle was also serviced for a manufacturer extended warranty campaign for the throttle body, however the contact had noticed that the vehicle had been slow to pick up speed while the other two failures had progressed. The dealer worthington Ford, 2950 n bellflower blvd, long beach, CA 90815,1-(562) 420-3333 had been unable to provide a permanent remedy yet for the three failures the contact was experiencing. The contact was not included in NHTSA action number: ea17004 (steering) and pe13003 (engine). The manufacturer was notified of the failures, the contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer to determine if they may be able to provide a permanent fix for the dealers required repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

Loss power steering in my 2010 Ford Fusion on my way to work. Assit fault came on. This is freaking ridiculous that Ford is not stepping up and taking care this. How can they be so careless. Other issues include front seat recliner driver side. Electrical issues. Engine issues. Disappointed my first car I played off. Nothing to show for it.

There has been an investigation on this complaint but it not under my VIN number. My car is shaking causing vibration when I'm driving. The tire seems if it's going to fall off the car as I'm driving. There is no light indicating there is something wrong. It does not pick up speed I would have to put my foot all the way to the floor for it to really go anywhere. I'm on the highway everyday going to work. I hope one of these days nothing happens to me or my family because Ford won't just take a look at the car when I'm calling them telling them that it's the same problem the recall explains what the problems are. Recall #11v57400.

Driving down a exit, ramp, lost all ability to accelerate. I idled to the parts store, had the check engine code read, it indicated a throttle body malfunction. I ordered and then replaced the throttle body and it fixed the problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle would not accelerate and lost motive power. The vehicle was cut off and restarted and drove normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer: cloninger Ford 1241 us hwy 70 se, hickory, nc 28602 who could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,00. Hk.

Variable valve timing needs replaced vehicle shakes. Should not be a problem with a vehicle 7 years old.

Takata recall when I bought the car from a car lot it was said that it was inspected and ready. Ended up having to replace (2) motor mounts and (1) transmission mount. Was having a vibration from car, running, in gear, at stops, holding brake.

While driving on the highway my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid suddenly lost power and quickly decelerated from 65 mph to less than 20mph. I took it to the dealer who said that the throttle body needed to be replaced. This is the same issue on the non-hybrid Ford Fusion for which Ford has issued an extended warranty under customer satisfaction program 13n03 however Ford has excluded hybrids and manual transmissions that have the same throttle body part.

Engine went to limp mode.

In lower gears / below 3500 rpm, I will occasionally experience a sudden deceleration, and then an abrupt acceleration as the vehicle attempts to make it to the commanded speed. This only occurs when the vehicle is already in motion, most often city streets, occasionally while accelerating onto a highway. I believe this creates a potentially dangerous situation, as a driver may not have the full, consistent acceleration that he expects to have. This issue began shortly after receiving "check fuel filter" codes, due to a poorly designed inner gas cap gasket, which allows for contamination to obstruct the easy fill system's inner seal. I believe this may also be related to an issue with a throttle body controller, similar to the many Ford products and customers whom have submitted prior complaints. Not sure why those throttle body controllers didn't get a recall, the problem is common enough and the potential damage substantial.

Driving locally, wrench and engine lights came on suddenly. When I got short ways to store, turned engine off and restarted, lights gone - thought it was a fluke. Proceed to drive home to contact Ford, both lights come on again, car begins declerating with no warning, no action on accelerator, car slows (I didn't know this was called limping) and I pulled of highway and get to parking lot. Car towed to Ford dealer. I had no clue what problem was replaced electronic throttle body car is 7 years old, only 43,700 miles. Afraid to drive car as this can happen again - what if I'm in heavy traffic at high speeds. Can't believe Ford was able to avoid a recall --- this is a very dangerous problem!!!!.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating. The transmission and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,820.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the check engine indicator illuminated 90 days after the recall repair. The vehicle error code was in reference to the canister purge valve. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

The issue I have been having with this vehicle involves the throttle body which has been replaced twice now since I have owned this car. While driving this vehicle, myself and my daughter, at separate times, lost acceleration while on the highway. This could have been a very dangerous situation if the timing of being on the road was different as well as the amount of vehicles on the road. We both were able to pull over to the side of the road. Thank goodness we were both in the far right lane when the acceleration failed. Ford did recall the product at one time, however, now they are unwilling to assist with the 2nd fail. This appears to be either an engineering defect or vendor defect in the part. This is a dangerous defect as collisions could occur when unable to accelerate on high speed roads as well as dangerous for other drivers who are unable to gage the speed of the slow moving vehicle.

The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 105,000.

My vehicle has the tendency of reducing acceleration, when you are driving at a speed of 35 or above the car will slow down and almost come to a complete stop. If you are in the fast lane and your car will not accelerate what can you do if there is lots of traffic behind you, this will definitely cause an accident because you have no where to go and cars are right up on you. This is an accident waiting to happen. This problem has happened to me 4 times when I was on just the streets and not the highway, I was going 45 mph and all of a sudden my car loses speed and it went all the way down and no matter how much I tried to accelerate it would not go any faster, so I coasted over to the side of the road and turned the engine off and called my son to meet me because I didn't know if it would start again. It did but the engine light stayed on. I started driving it again and it did the same thing. I got a little closer to home and pulled over to this exxon gas station; sit there until my son came and he started it again and he followed me home. A few days later it did it again; it has done this 4 times even this morning on my way to the Ford dealership whom I thought was going to fix the problem but wanted me to pay them $115 out of pocket for a diagnostic that I should not be paying anything that is their mistake or mess up. I will see if I can round up enough complaints for a class action lawsuit, because why would I have to pay for something that's their fault when the car was built.

Hi I need help with getting my car fix. I took my car in for the recall on the throttle and my car still isn't fix. I've taken it in three different time. The first two times they fix to parts. The third time, they are trying to charge me. I saw in the recall about the crack which can leak gas. My car has the crack they put on machine and I have print out. Ford of upland California won't fix car unless I pay. What steps do I take now? I'm afraid of getting into an accident. My car acts as they it's going to shut off. My paperwork shows that the machine says evaporation leak from filter neck. Please help this is second complaint I've made.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving 35 to 50 mph, the vehicle lost power and shut down. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and restarted; however, the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

Car looses power and the check engine and transmition light comes on car while driving at low rpms while driving on city streets . Had to pull over and shut off car and restart in order to drive home . Had computer system scaned and a p2119 code comes up for throttle body . Just had car in for a 15s34 recall purge valve assy and has been doing this since . Cleared code and for a coupe of days its fine then it starts all over agin.

Driving on highway and car just lost power. Wrench light came on. Could only drive about 5 mph. Car was shaking/ chugging as I tried to give some gas. Shut car off and waited 5 minutes and car ran good. Happened again about half hour later. This happens about once every month with the car but this is the first time while highway driving. Very dangerous. Usually happens at lower speeds but this time I was going about 30 mph (coasting) and went to give it some gas and suddenly the engine had no power. Whenever this happened previously, I would restart the engine . It would rev in neutral ok, but if you put it in drive, the wrench light would come on again and you would have no power. If you let the car rest for a minute or two before re-starting chances are your ok.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While the vehicle was stopped at an intersection, it lost power while attempting to accelerate. The vehicle rolled as if it were shifted into neutral. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body assembly failed and needed to replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,180.

We purchased the car used in 2013 and had to have a motor put in 3 days after purchasing. The engine light came on and we took immediately to a mechanic and the motor was replaced.

This first happened to me on June 1, 2016. My 2010 Ford Fusion loses power once in a while when driving. A wrench light appears on the dash board and the car starts to slow down, accelerator does not work and sometimes the car starts to shake. You will have to pull over, turn the car off for a few minutes and then turn it off in order to drive it until the light comes back on again. It is very dangerous to drive it in the highway and specially when speed limit its 50 and trucks or other cars are coming at a high speed behind you because you do not know when this is going to happen to you again. I have this problem for a few weeks. I took my car for a recall for something else on June 24, 2016 and I mentioned to them about this issue and they said everything was fine. But I'm sure it will not be fine if I get into a car accident after complaining about this issue. The dealer will ask if the light its on in order for them to check it. But I have mention that the light goes on and as soon as you lose power and turn the car off and on it disappears.

Our vehicle is a 2010 Fusion with 96,000 miles on it. My wife drove to work yesterday and the wrench light came on and vehicle went into limp mode and would not accelerate over 40 mph and was extremely slow getting to that speed. I know Ford has a "satisfaction program" for this exact issue yet when I called them my VIN was not in the program. This is the same damn problem as the other etb replacement and software update yet I'm being told I have to pay out of pocket. My wife ended up breaking down on a very busy street with cars behind her yet Ford won't acknowledge this is a bigger issue than the 1. 6 million vehicles they recalled. How can my issue be exactly the same yet not meet the criteria? so does somebody have to be killed before it's address, or how many poor people have to pay out of their pockets with money they don't have before this is recalled as it should be.

I approached a stop sign and after stopping, I attempted to accelerate, but my car had significantly reduced power. The wrench illuminated and I was able to slowly guide my car to the shoulder of the road. I turned my car off, waited a few minutes and started it again. It started with no problem and I was able to drive it to the garage. I was told I'd new a new throttle body that would cost approximately $300 to replace including labor.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle had not experienced a failure until the dealer repaired it for a manufacturer's recall to address the cpv valve. The dealer indicated that they reset the code, but did not replace the cpv valve. Shortly after the repair, the service engine warning indicator illuminated. The dealer indicated that the recall repair was performed and they would cover the labor cost if the contact replaced the part. The manufacturer did not provide assistance. The manufacturer stated more than three times that they would respond back in 24 to 48 hrs, but the contact waited for weeks with no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 126,439.

While stopped at red light and stop signs attempting to turn, the vehicle would rev itself corresponding with a rapid increase/decrease in rpm. Upon acceleration the car would stutter and the engine turned off while allowing me to enter the intersection resulting in very close calls. This has been recurring with more frequency.

While driving down the freeway at approx 70mph in heavy traffic, the vehicle made a slight jerk, and lost propulsion. I had to cross several lanes of traffic off to the edge of the road. There was no response to pressing on the gas pedal. Once stopped and in park, the engine idled very roughly, shaking the entire car. I turned off the engine, waited about a minute, and re-started the car. It had to crank for a few seconds before turning over and starting. It then drove fine for about another 10 miles before quitting again. I again stopped, then restarted the car, and limped it home on side roads, off the freeway. It did not drive smoothly, but made it the other 15 miles home without quitting again. I took the car to an independent mechanic, who researched and found a known problem with the throttle body, causing these exact symptoms, and has referred me to a Ford garage for an in-warranty repair. The appointment for that is tomorrow.

On Saturday, 08/15/2015 @7:45pm I was driving on I-10 on the far left lane about 65 mph. As I started moving to the center lane to get to the right lane on a bit of an incline, a wrench light went off on the dashboard; I turned my emergency lights on. As I pressed on the pedal to get on the center lane, the car started losing speed. I pressed the pedal but the speed kept coming down. At this point the speed went to about 20 mph and a semi truck was directly behind me. I tried to get to the right lane, but another semi was on my right side. At this point, the speed was about 10 mph. Right after the semi passed, I changed to the right and had just enough inertia to make it to a point on the freeway between an entry ramp and an exit ramp, not on a shoulder. After stopping, I turned the key ignition off. I tried to start right back, nothing. I called my husband to pick me up. While we talked, I tried the ignition again; the car started and I drove the car got off the freeway. I kept driving all the way home on the "gateway" next to the freeway on the right lane. Went to the Ford dealership as soon as they opened on Monday, 08/17/2015, explained issue. Service rep indicated that there was a recall on the engine throttle body, but it would have to be confirmed. The only way they could confirmed it was to drive the car on the freeway, since the computer did not show failure. The car lost power as it did for me, and the mechanic turned the engine off and back on to reset it. When I picked up the car on 08/24/2015, it was replaced under the recall. The service rep said that they are still getting this complaint. They see quite a bit for city traffic, but have had some for high speeds. He did say that my case was the most dangerous he had had and that unfortunately, Ford will not issued a full recall and will only replace as it happens and if proven.

Vehicle lost power, would not accelerate a wrench showed on the instrument panel, it eventually begin to gradually gain some of it's power enough to get the car home. I have read numerous accounts by other people complaining about this problem. It's seem it has to do with the throttle body. My real concern is why Ford motor company has not been required to issue a safety recall. Loss of power could result in serious injury or death if this happens on a interstate are in heavy traffic.

While driving (8/8/15) on I-65 at approx. 75mph, the rpm's dropped and there was no response from the throttle pedal. After carefully making our way to the shoulder, it was noticed that charging system and throttle control/transmission indicator lights had turned on. I turned the vehicle off and upon restarting, everything appeared to be working as it should. The above was the second instance of this malfunction. Previously (June 2015), while driving in city traffic at approx. 30mph, the rpm's dropped and the throttle pedal became unresponsive. After turning the vehicle off and back on, functionality resumed. Over the next 15miles back home, this occurred three more times at speed between 25 ~ 55 mph. At all instances, the throttle control/transmission indicator light turned on, but then turned off after restarting the vehicle.
