general problems of the 2012 Ford Fusion - part 2

Was driving girlfriend to doctor and fix power steering light came on we made it to the appointment and I parked my car and turned it off. . . On returning to my car to leave I tried to pull out parking spot but steering wheel is very hard to turn and is unsafe to drive. . .

Was accelerating in my vehicle when the car hesitated and then just shut off in the middle of the road showing only an orange wrench light on the dash. Thankfully I was driving in town and actually to the dealership to get my airbag recall fixed when this happened and nobody other than my boyfriend was behind me. I turned the key into the off position and turned it back on and the dash (wrench) light indicator went off. I could have seriously injured myself or another vehicle due to what seems to be be a system failure! I refused to take my car home from the dealership until they checked into it. They acted as if it was no big deal because the (wrench) light on the dash went off but I'm very concerned it's a safety issue and bad accidents can be a result of this.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that that the vehicle started but the steering wheel was unable to move. The vehicle was taken to an local repair shop where the contact was informed that a new rack and pinion pinion or steering column would need to be replaced or the program would need to be reprogrammed.

I recently noticed the mark on my driveway was getting bigger. Something under the engine is leaking. Brought car in for leak, after 1/2 hour, they told me I had to replace the ptu. Of course, the warranty has expired. The cost will be around $2300. I need my car so told them to fix it of course. I am on a limited budget, thank goodness for charge cards!.

My transmission has been jolting whenever it shifts into gear 3, especially when going up hills. My vehicle has been well taken care of and not been involved any any previous accidents. The problem started when it had about 80,000 miles on it, and now it has 110,000 miles and the problem is worse. I have looked at other online forums and can confirm that I am not the only one with this problem.

Car jerks and shifts poorly and sometimes at the wrong time when starting up from a stop. Also downshifted from 6th grear to much lower gear when on the highway at highway speed in hot weather (over 100 degrees f), causing frightening loss of speed and accelerating motor rpms.

Tl - the contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while reversing out of the drive way, the vehicle seem to be loosing power when acceleration pad was pressed. The power train light on the dash illuminated. The contact pulled back into the drive way and turned the vehicle off. When starting the vehicle and attempting to accelerate the top speed it would accelerate to is 5mph. The dealer nor was the manufacturer was notified about this failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was unknown. Nb.

Cv axle joint went out while driving in construction.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted and regained power steering functionality. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to uftring Subaru (500 fairlane dr, east peoria, IL 61611) to be diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 15v340000 (steering). The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the recall repair was performed in 2012. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The first time my power steering went out was when I was turning onto a busy intersection and was almost hit by two cars that were going pretty fast. I was able to drive it to a nearby Ford service center and the fixed three recalls: the throttle body, the powertrain, and power steering. Not even 8 months later, those same three issues went out again. The power steering went out when I was on the highway going 70 mph. I ended up spinning and damaged my front bumper trying to pull over and be safe.

I was driving down the street and the vehicle coasted to a stop in the street. Engine was running at idle. Gas pedal had no response. Didn't see any fault indicators. Shifted to neutral. Pushed gas pedal several times with no response. After about 30 seconds gas pedal started working. Shifted to drive and drove to side of road. Drove vehicle to dealer. They pulled fault code p1285. Dealer replaced radiator fan and head temperature sensor. Working okay so far. (3 days).

There is a grinding/pooping noise from front of vehicle when turning. The recall 15s18 was reprogrammed along recall 16b38 but the noise has continued and has gotten worse. When driving slow and turning to the left and right in a parking lot it is very noticeable the dealership stated the noise was coming from the steering rack.

City traffic, 30mph. Only had traveled a few miles. Temperature was in the low 90's and dewpoint in the low to mid 60's. Wrench tool icon illuminated and the vehicle shook and total loss of power. Could only go 3-5 mph. Pulled off the road. Turned off car and restarted. Icon was off and car ran fine. Service scan tool did not find any faults. After the scan, the dash message center displayed the message: "service advancetrac". Intermittent problem with no other error messages and appears to be a common on Ford vehicles. Simply restarting the vehicle should not erase the source of the problem. This is a very dangerous situation if this occurs at highway speeds because of the total loss of power.

Vehicle experiences sudden loss of power at any speed without any warning. The powertrain warning light illuminates, the car becomes unable to accelerate beyond 15mph, and the car must be pulled over in dangerous traffic conditions. Once pulled over and placed in park, the engine attempts to rev itself until the vehicle is turned off. After restarting the vehicle several times, the powertrain warning light will turn off and the car will function normally. This issue occurred seldomly at first, but within a month the car became non-driveable due to the issue occurring every few minutes while driving, which presents a significant safety hazard especially in conjunction with the takata airbag. The issue has been diagnosed by a Ford dealer as a faulty electronic throttle body. Ford had previously issued a customer satisfaction program 13n03 to satisfy the numerous complaints of this same issue, but the parameters of the program were so narrow that despite the vehicle possessing the same throttle body and within the same model year and make, the vehicle does not qualify. The program also expired quickly despite the issue presenting itself throughout the lifetime of the car with many who bought these vehicles used.

The electronic throttle body has failed twice within 500 miles. (the vehicle has 71500 as of this writing) both times this has occurred at approximately 35 mph while driving on a flat stretch of road at a steady speed with little input from the accelerator. In both circumstances the car has thudded into "limp mode" where the car can only coast of the road. A restart seems to clear the problem.

While driving the vehicle has issues while transmission is upshifting . Have had vehicle serviced for complaint at Ford yet continues to be an issue even after repair was made.

The electric power stearing went out while I was driving on the highway going 70 mph and pulled me off to the side of the highway and blew out my tire.

My 2012 Ford Fusion sel, when accelerating from a stationary point on a city street, my engine loses power and starts to sputter before the engine shuts off on its own. This problem has happened many times in the middle of traffic, where I'd have to completely stop, put the gear in park, and restart the engine.

I own a 2012 Ford Fusion and the car has started shutting down when I slow and while stopped at lights. It jerks at times which made me think it was bad gas or something like that. Then it started shutting off. I've taken it to several auto places and no one can tell me what it is. I have read and researched this problem and found that it's happening a lot. Why is there not a recall from Ford on this? I will think twice from buying another Ford. .

For a while know my car would randomly stop. All of a sudden it would decrease in speed and then shake at which time I would pull over and shut the car down after some time I am able to start the car up again and get back on the road. No mechanic can actually find anything wrong with my car so they just keep telling me to come back if it does it again. At first I thought it was the fuel filter so I was told by the mechanic to use fuel injection cleaner in my car. I have done that and it appeared to work however it started up again. I have been having this issue off and on for a while but can never find the issue. I am wondering why hasn't there been a recall on this. I noticed that with this model year everyone is having the same issue. I live in houston and our freeways are not the best places to break down.

I just hit 40,000 miles, vehicle has become very unsafe, while driving vehicle shuts off. Acceleration take too long and once it kicks in it slams into gear. If I need to reverse it won't find the gear and when it does , I slams into gear, the wrench continues to appear on dash when said event is happening. There should be a recall on that transmission or engine. Very unsafe. When vehicle stalls it becomes a hazard to everyone around me. If someone could please contact me this would be great. Upon searching what the problem could be I noticed numerous complaints about the same issue. Please help! I don't have any photos of the vehicle shutting down and what a hazard it can be . Tell me what to do please.

In addition, the power train warning indicator flashed several times. Two dealers were notified of the failure, but the dtc was not present; therefore, the failure was unable to be replicated and diagnosed. The manufacturer had a service campaign, but refused to provide a solution. The dealer would not replace the part unless they could determine the failure. The contact was able to order the part from the manufacturer and replaced the electronic throttle body. The manufacturer had not issued a recall. The VIN was not included in NHTSA action number: pe13003 (engine). The failure mileage was not available.

Lose of power. Must stop and restart car. Very close calls on highway with children in car. Both on highway and in town. Not safe to drive, 3rd time in 2 days.

So with in the pass week of 8/8/2016 thru 8/13/2016. I have had a wrench light come on 3 different times and car almost shut off, while driving down the street. So pull over and shut off and crank it back up and go on. However, its becoming a problem and come to find out this maybe throttle control/transmission issue. Somebody gonna get hurt, cause you never know when it gonna cut out on you. Also both door latches will not either open or lock from the inside. Causing existing issue.

Harsh shifts between 1-2 and or 2-3, flares when accelerating at times. . . . . Clutches seem to be slipping inside the tramsmission at times during hard acceleration. . . . Harsh downshifts. . . When slowing down for a traffic light but not coming to a complete stop and trying to accelerate the car acts "boggy" when the air is on. It seems like it can't decide which gear it should be in.

Over the past week my 2012 Ford Fusion decelerated, idled roughly, lost power steering and power breaking and the wrench dummy light came on. All 4 times it occurred below 30 mph in clear conditions. The car is extremely hard to handle and luckily I was in areas where I could pull over safely. Once pulled over I was able to restart the car and resume driving. I have brought in my car twice to a local mechanic who could not find any error messages on the computer. I have an appointment at the local Ford dealership to do more diagnostics. I am very concerned about the safety of this vehicle and its reliability.

I am facing electrical issue in my car very frequently. The electrical problem occurs two ways, 1) while running 2) while starting the car while running:- when the electrical issue come while car is running then the below problem occurs, 1. Transmission should not be set to parking, if set to parking then we cannot move to neutral or drive. It will be stuck and tow is the only option. 2. Turn lights will not work. 3. Head lights will not work. 4. Door glass sliding will not work. 5. Ac will not work 6. Car display will not work for clock am/fm 2) while starting the car:- if the problem occurs while starting the car then I will be able to only start the car and the automatic transmission will not work. We cannot move the transmission from parking to neutral or drive. Towing the vehicle is the only option. This is dangerous while driving at night, I got this issue one time at night and I got the tough time in towing the car and getting to service centre. As the service centre is always busy they wont get the time to diagnosis immediately and at the time of they check it work properly. Any way they were not able to find any issues with me car. But when I take the car back to home the electrical issue often occurs. No one assure of the safety, and I am trying my best to drive at night and highways. Extremely dangerous.

When I'm either taking off or in motion riding down any type of road or highway a wrench light comes on some time. I look the icon up and it says something about the power tran or transmission. While in motion it feel as if I lost speed and then the wrench icon pops on. When taking off I can feel a jerk as if it can't get the power to shift and go.

As I put car in drive to take off the trans made a loud bang sound and didn't want to go forward. Reved up high and then took off.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and shook violently after the wrench warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle did restart after several attempts without shaking violently, however, the failure recurred on several occasions while driving at 40 mph and over. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was told that there was an extended warranty, however, they could not repair the vehicle unless they could recreate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. Sw.

I purchased a used 2012 Ford Fusion with 30k miles on it in 2015. While driving on the freeway at 70mph the vehicle lost all power causing me to almost crash. The throttle body was diagnosed as the issue and was supposedly fixed under Ford customer satisfaction 13n03. Fast forward to July 15th, 2016 and the same thing happened while on the freeway. My car is now sitting at my local Ford dealership and either the dealership isn't fixing the car correctly or Ford has more issues they are hiding.

I was traveling down a surface street when the car suddenly lurched forward and then lost all engine power. I was able to coast to a turn lane and shut the car off safely. The engine idle was extremely rough and sputtering. After restarting the car it operated normally until I reached my destination. This was the 2nd time today that the car malfunctioned in the same manner.
