general problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion - part 1

Unknown, I was driving in my wheel stop moving , it’s saying now power steering wheel, for my breaks, it keep saying check brake system.

The throttle body failed. It is not available for inspection because it was replaced. While driving on a high-speed road, the engine felt like it shuddered, and the car lost engine power and would no longer accelerate. At the same time, the light shaped like a wrench came on. Our safety was therefore put at risk because we could now barely accelerate, and could easily have been rear-ended. The problem was confirmed and repaired by an independent service center. After doing the repair, the service center informed us that there was a Ford customer satisfaction service bulletin (13no3) for this problem. We called Ford about this bulletin and were told that the bulletin was limited to ten years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first. Even though our car is over ten years old, it only has 87,000 miles on it.

Electronic throttle body car lost power on busy, construction road manufacturer issued secret warranty to owners and did not send out notice multiple certified mechanics have inspected the vehicle check engine, abs, service advance trac, and power train lights were on and I am uncertain when they first came on.

Driving on the highway in the fast lane, vehicle suddenly lost all power. A message on the car said “ pull over safely “. No prior warning of anything wrong with the vehicle. I managed to Dodge traffic with my hazard lights on and came to a stop on the side of the highway. I inspected the car with no signs of anything wrong. I shut down the car and restarted. Everything came back on and was drivable. This caused me to look online, only to discover that other people are having the same problem as I have described. Total loss of power. This is a very dangerous situation to be in, not able to keep moving on a very busy highway.

My 2010 Ford Fusion has no power steering and I believe a fuel injector problem. The service power steering message appears the engine light is on. I was told it had something to do with needing a fuel injector. This problem needs to be recalled ASAP.

Lug nuts are all stripped or broken. Check engine light, check fuel fill inlet message, poor driving all around, lack of power. Brake calipers broke off and brake pads fell out. Power steering locks up every once in a while.

Car stalled at a stop light on us-50 a road where the speed limit is 50mph. My 17-year old daughter was driving and could not restart the car. When the light turned green she was stuck in the middle of the road and trucks and other drivers where riding right up to her at 60+ mph before they switched lanes honking and flipping her off. She could have been struck and killed. Took to mechanic after I was able to get on-site and start the car. P1450 unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum. Was told this is very common with this year of Ford Fusion and Ford knows of the issue. Why not a recall to change the solenoid and purge valve before someone gets killed if they haven't already.

My vehicle will no longer operate in electric mode. This is a major safety concern since there is no assist from the high-voltage battery powered electric drive motor. Upon accelerating from a dead stop, there is a significant lag before the ice kicks in and provides enough power to move the vehicle.

Whenever I put gas in the car I have to go extremely slow or the fuel will "spit" back out onto the car and ground. This is not a safe situation at the pump.

Gasoline was leaking from the top of the gas tank down the side of the tank near the passenger side rear tire (opposite side from the fuel filler cap). This was first notice on 10/8/2023. The gas would leak when the tank was filled until approximately 1 gallon had leaked out on the ground underneath the tank. I put a container under the car near the passenger side tire to catch the gas. There was a strong smell of gas inside and around the car. We took the car to the mechanic who said the gas tank had a crack at the top of the tank. The mechanic replaced the tank with a used tank which cost approximately $514. 00 total installed. A new tank would have cost approximately $1100. 00 installed.

I noticed a gasoline smell coming from my car. After taking it in to be examined, it was discovered that the fuel tank had a leak in it - right next to the exhaust pipe. A disaster waiting to happen.

My vehicle is having trouble at first start after refueling the vehicle and I made a research and found that there is a recall for some same model of my vehicle that there is a problem with the purge valve. The recall number is 15s34. My vehicle is having the same trouble as mentioned in the recall but my vehicle is not listed as recall under the VIN even though I am having problems. I have attached the recall document below that my vehicle needs.

A few years back there was a recall on a fuel system part cause it would emit strong gasoline odor. Same issue has come back. Dealership states that recall was completed and they could not repair the very same issue without charging for it.

Furl tank leaks and seapage. There’s a past recall yet dealer will not fix.

I believe it is the fuel system throttle body. Yes it is available for inspection. While driving on the freeway at 60 mph, and on city streets 30 mph, the car suddenly stalled out. The wrench warning light came on for about 3-5 seconds, but the car was already stalling out. This was a extreme danger to myself and all other drivers in my vicinity. I plan to have the vehicle inspected. No other inspection has been done. Wrench warning light came on about 3-5 seconds before car stalled out power seemed to decrease as I pressed the pedal.

There was a recall on the make and modal of my car for the fuel system. The problem was with the pressurization in the fuel tank causing a leak through a crack in the tank (caused by the pressurization. ) unfortunately this occurred on my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. But the company will not recognize it because my VIN number is not on their list. This is a very scary and unsafe situation to be in. The company has no interest or want to look into it. The check engine light only came on after too much damage had occurred from the pressurization, leaving me with a cracked tank and fuel actively leaking out causing a very dangerous situation.

Car constantly have brakes, steering, fuel, and airbags problems.

My local dealership won't do the open recalled foe my car because they don't know if part is good or not. . I went and pick up my car from the dealership they only did the airbag. . I was wondering if you guys could contact them and let them know to replace the part. . Recall number is 15s34.

Etb electronic throttle body on 2010 Ford Fusion 4cy se - instant loss of power to vehicle as traveling 45 mph hour on roadway, almost crashing, after much research I've realized you guys allowed Ford to do their one "recall" that wasn't a recall, and now endagering thousands of lives that are not aware of the faulty part!!!! why??? I could have died!!!!.

Car was checked for recall 15s34 and incorrectly determined to not have a problem. This recall deals with the gas tank cracking open. This car will pool gas on the ground under the car. Ford says since this was previously looked at, even if the determination was false, they will not take any action or help with it. Please assist - this is a known problem and should be repaired under the recall.

After much research I have determined the throttle body is failing to function properly in this car. This part has been recalled on non hybrid models but not hybrid models, even though they are identical parts.

Vehicle has 1 to 2 second delay after depressing throttle before acceleration occurs. Very similar to NHTSA id number: 11219222 and NHTSA id number: 10167224. Suspect it's related to NHTSA id number: 11233861 this has resulted in numerous close calls and near t-bone accidents in this car.

From a complete stop, car stutters and pauses before starting to move as if it's trying to decide which form of power to use - the electric battery or the engine. This has become quite dangerous because it's enough time to be hit by oncoming traffic while not being able to move. When it does "kick in", it lurches and makes a 'knocking' noise. I'm very concerned I'm going to be smashed into one day due to it not moving. Searching online and reading through the Ford Fusion forums, I've found that it has to do with the system reading the electric battery age. This stuttering happens almost daily now. My commute is all city driving and happens when coming out of a complete stop, no matter if I'm turning or going straight. I take excellent care of my car, have owned it since new, and have less than 60,000 miles on it. I'm hoping to be able to drive it for a long time to come, but, if this continues, I fear I will be injured - or worse - due to this issue. Please address this problem. There are many, many Fusion hybrid owners that are having this problem, but seem to not be getting any response from Ford.

I purchased a new 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid se from a Ford dealership in fairfax, va. After owning the vehicle for approximately 9 years, the vehicle no longer operates in electric mode (it only operates in gas mode). My average mpg has dropped from 37-40 mpg to 25-27 mpg. I took it to a Ford dealership service center manassas, va in Nov 2019 who indicated they are aware of the problem but they have no solution to fix it (they initially were going to charge me $150 diagnostic fee but waived the fee and sent me home). There are numerous reports in Ford vehicle forums with the same complaint. Consensus is that Ford programmed the electronic mode to stop working after 9 years. When I purchased the vehicle, there was no disclosure that I would no longer have a properly working hybrid after 9 years. This end-of-life decision would have to be programmed into the vehicle's ecu at the time of manufacturing and should have been disclosed by Ford at the time of purchase. Had Ford disclosed this, it would have directly impacted my decision to purchase the vehicle. The fix appears to be reprogramming the vehicle to make it think it is less than 9 years old which returns the hybrid functions to normal. According to several forums, some Ford service centers have conduct this fix, but the majority of Ford service centers are not willing/able to resolve this issue. This issue has been identified in Ford's oasis database with no solution. TSB #ssm 48238 NHTSA id #10167224 was announced in oct 2019. . Read more...

Car accelleration is sluggish/weak after car comes to complete stop. Poses real danger when entering traffic, especially left turns with oncoming traffic. Problem has been reported by several others. Cause is design defect in vehicle/battery age counter in car's computer. Only allows for one digit. Causes battery to stop working properly after car reaches 10 years of age. My car was purchased in aoril 2010. Had local auto shop reset counter to "0". (car has only 77,000 miles) now functions as intended. Copy of repair invoice attached. I will send copy to Ford motor company rquesting reimbursement after filing report here.

In motion on highway with cruise control car dashboard shows �stop safely now� loose acceleration. Turn car off then back on and can drive. Check engine light on. Told vacuum pump creating issue. Replaced and car okay. While in motion on highway during acceleration �stop safely now� entire car shuts down while driving. Loss of brakes, steering, acceleration. Get car towed back to shop and told acid leak degraded wire harness. But also told they can't ensure the car will be fixed from repairing. How does a battery leak so bad without any cracks. No shop can confirm the acid leak is causing the brake issue. Possible abs module, electronic control, O2 sensor replacement too.

After pumping gas in the vehicle, the engine does not turn on. The engine chokes and turns directly to battery mode. You must floor the gas pedal 3 to 4 different times in order for the vehicle to start. Must sit and wait about 5 minutes for the idleing to stop before putting car into drive mode.

Car no longer converting to electric vehicle as it used to under similar circumstances. Only time it switches to electric vehicle is when brake is depressed, coasting down hill or at a stop. Dealer has run Ford diagnostics and has no idea what is wrong. The same issue is being reported on various websites.

We had driven to a football game, when we returned to the car it would not start. All the lights worked, it turned over perfectly every time, but it would not start. Had it towed to the mechanic in the morning and it started for them. However, after multiple test they were able to get it to stop starting. Checked the codes and it said O2 sensor. Replaced O2 sensor. Car died on my way home from the mechanic while pulling out onto the highway from a stop sign where vehicles are traveling 60mph with my two small children in the car. Terrifying! I barely chugged across the lanes and got the nose of my car on the shoulder. I turned the car off and after a few tries it restarted. When I got home, I took the battery cables off the battery for the weekend as I read that could help the faulty computer issue. So far, I have not experienced this issue again. A couple of weeks before this, I noticed that at speeds of 50 mph the car felt like it was speeding up and slowing down really fast like pulsing.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled and turned off. The contact was able to turn on the ignition and park on the side of the road, but the vehicle stalled again. In addition, the check engine and battery/charging alert warning indicators illuminated. The contact also noticed fuel leaking from both exhaust pipes and noticed a fuel stain underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home and then taken to north county Ford (located at 5829, 450 w vista way, vista, CA 92083, (888) 833-0634). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 117,000.

I was driving 70 mph down the highway and my car just quit running. A few warning lights came on and I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I was able to restart the car and merged onto the highway; the car quickly died again. I had the car towed home and was unable to start the car again since the anti-theft lock light was on. I had the car towed to a dealership and I am waiting to hear back from them.

Driving down interstate or street car orange wrench light comes on car goes into limp mode close to getting hit.

Fuel smell while driving, and also when filling gas it will not show that it is full.

I had already gotten my throttle body repaired the year before my car started jolting as if it was malfunctioning again. This time though the vehicle would jump when I tried accelerate from stop, rpms would go all the way up to 5 before switching gears and the speedometer would move up and down while electrical lights flickered. Took it to Ford and nothing was found so I got an oil change and transmission flush. That same day the car started doing it again. I took the car back to Ford they offered to clean the throttle body and returned the car the next day. Not even 24hrs after started the same problem. I took car to auto zone they immediately found an error for the camshaft position sensor. Brought car back to Ford where they had me leave it for two days for the transmission tech to look at it. They then said oil had leaked onto the sensor causing the car to drive that way. Replaced that and the head that was leaking. Car was still jolting and driving as if throttle body was messed up but worse. I brought my car back that same week they found a sensor that needed to be replaced in the transmission. This whole while I was 8-9 months pregnant and ended up spending 1200 dollars on something that should've been fixed the first timr and in my opinion a side effect from the car having a defective throttle body for so long before they allowed it to be fixed.

Rapid deceleration: while driving on the freeway rapid deceleration occurred. Car slowed to about 25mph and would not accelerate when gas pedal was pushed. Exited freeway. . Turned engine off and restarted. Car operated normal. No error icons showed. About a half mile from home problem reoccurred crawled home at 10mph. Next several days problem did not reoccur. About a week later same problem reoccurred while driving home . . 10mph. Spoke to Ford service to see if they would cover repairs and they declined. Took it to my repair shop and they replaced the throttle body. $600. Very scary dangerous situation when this occurs on the freeway.
