Car Stall problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled and the service vehicle soon warning indicators illuminated. The contact turned the vehicle off and, once restarted, resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (kistler Ford sales inc. , 5555 central Ave, toledo, OH 43615, (419)-531-9911), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was 93,000.

My Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010 stalled without any warning in the 5th lane of I-85 in atlanta. My wife, the responding police officer, and myself were in grave danger because of this. We were blessed and fortunate that an officer happened to be very close when our car suddenly died in the middle of the interstate. The interstate traffic was heavy - but slow moving due to construction. The officer responded - literally - within seconds since he saw what was happening. He placed his car behind ours with his lights flashing. The the officer and I had to push my vehicle off to the side. We were all in grave danger! as the officer was calling for help and a wrecker, my car suddenly began working after several minutes. This was an extremely dangerous situation. I then researched this problem on the internet after I returned home only to discover that many other Ford fusion owners have experienced the same problem of random stalling. This is totally unacceptable! what is Ford waiting for to recall this vehicle?? I have no confidence driving this car now. It's only a matter of time until a tragedy occurs because of this. (if it hasn't happened already).

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled and the wrench warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle restarted normally and was taken to the dealer the following day, but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

My 2010 Fusion Hybrid began a no-start/stalling condition. It has happened six times now. First occurrence was after fueling at low speed after entering street. Second occurrence was while traveling on the highway at 55 mph. Third occurrence was while exiting the interstate. Fourth occurrence was at low speed. Fifth occurrence was immediately after refueling while still in parking lot. And sixth occurence was also immediately after refueling just after leaving gas station at low speed. Four of the six occurrences was a failure for the internal combustion engine to start after the electric motor had already began moving the vehicle. The other two occurrences was while coasting. In all instances there would be a red triangle warning message to pull over safely, no codes were thrown according to the engineering report, no issues reported via the vehicle health report, the vehicle was traveling in a mostly level and straight line, and the vehicle would usually reset and run normally after the first or second attempt at restarting once the vehicle was pulled over.

Vehicle stalled while driving down the highway. Pulled over, restarted, car ran a few feet, restarted again, vehicle ran a few feet again and stopped, restarted again, vehicle would not move. Waited a few minutes. Vehicle started again, ran approximately 1/2 mile, then stalled, stopped moving again. Gave up, called wrecker. Vehicle towed to local Ford dealer for service. They have not identified the problem yet after two days. Dangerous highway conditions, traffic whizzing by during incident. Easily could have created an accident with repeated restarts and stalls.

The car stalls at varied speeds which is a huge safety issue. I owned a 2010 Ford fusion previously with my company fleet vehicle program, and had the same problem. I brought the car to the dealership and it was fixed without question. At that time I was unaware of this being part of a bigger problem. In the fall of 2011, I purchased a different 2010 Ford fusion from our fleet as it was being turned in, and this is the vehicle that I am discussing in this forum. It only has 30000 miles on it, but is 6 months out of the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty. The car stalled once, a month ago, and the problem seemed to rectify itself. Then yesterday, 6/19/2013, it stalled 6 times. My 17 year old daughter drives the car and was stuck in the middle of a very busy intersection. For almost one minute, the car would not restart, but finally did, and she was able to get out of the intersection. As I read the forums, it is obvious to me that this is a nationwide problem, looking back, I've had 2 cars with the identical problem. The service men at the dealership know that the problem is specific to the throttlebody, which is defective, and there is over a week backlog on the parts as more and more cars are having the same issue. This is a dangerous problem, to lose power to a vehicle in motion and Ford is aware of this issue, yet they are taking no steps in addressing the issue. It is going to cost me $600 to have the part replaced, as it is outside the 3 year warrant, yet Ford knows that this was a model wide issue with a defective car part. I am disappointed and angry that a glaring problem such as this is not being addressed due to Ford attempting to let the problem hopefully just fade away and not be taken to task over this issue. I pray that the NHTSA will step in, right a wrong, and in the process prevent a tragic accident before it becomes a reality.
