VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING, BUT FIRST HAPPENED AFTER SPEEDING UP AFTER GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES. ON THAT LAST DAY, THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REACT TO THE INPUT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. YOU WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, ASSUMING THERE WAS A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IN PARK THEN RESTART IT. EVERYTHING WOULD BE NORMAL UNTIL IT ACTED UP AGAIN, ANYWHERE FROM 1 MILE TO 5 MILES LATER. OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, YOU CAN'T POWER THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON A TURN OR MERGING ON A FREEWAY. A WRECK COULD VERY EASILY HAVE HAPPENED FROM THIS FAILURE. IT ENDED UP BEING A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE WAS $352.40. *TR

THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT, AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF ROUGH STARTING THE CAR TURNED BACK ON, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES LATER THAT DAY AND THROUGH OUT THE WEEK. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, SINCE THERE WERE NO CODES CURRENTLY ON AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.

NO OR MINIMAL POWER IS AVAILABLE TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC SAFELY. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. ONCE THE CAR TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE CAR RUNS NORMALLY UNTIL THE SYMPTOM HAPPENS AGAIN. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENT PRIOR TO GOING INTO "LIMP-MODE". BROUGHT THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY SAVED ENGINE CODES AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. NO WORK WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM DUE TO NO EVIDENCE OF IT IN THE COMPUTER.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS GEARS AND ENGAGES VERY HARD, CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD. ON ONE OCCASION I NEARLY REAR-ENDED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR WILL SHIFT RAPIDLY BETWEEN TWO ADJACENT GEARS, AS IF IT IS "CONFUSED". CAR WILL SOMETIMES NOT SHIFT AT ALL; THE RPM'S JUST SIT AT THAT THRESHOLD FOR A WHILE BEFORE KNOCKING HARD INTO THE NEXT GEAR, AGAIN CAUSING A DANGEROUS LURCHING MOTION. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER SUDDENLY, MORE PROMINENT WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING UP A STEEP INCLINE. YOU COULD KEEP PRESSING THE GAS BUT AMAZINGLY THE CAR SEEMS TO LOOSE MORE POWER WHEN YOU DO THIS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET POWER IS TO OPEN THE THROTTLE 100 PERCENT IN WHICH CASE THE CAR AGAIN JERKS INTO GEAR VERY HARD. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED PLENTY OF TIMES AND IS VERY SCARY. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE POWER WAS NEEDED TO ACCELERATE IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAR IN ANOTHER LANE, TO AVOID AN OBSTACLE IN THE ROADWAY. THE LATEST INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WAS VERY SCARY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A FUNNY SOUND, ALMOST LIKE A ZIPPER BEING ZIPPED. THIS SEEMED ODD TO ME BECAUSE IT SOUNDED ALMOST LIKE THE GEARS WERE RUBBING UP AGAINST SOMETHING, HOWEVER I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE OPERATING PROPERLY. THEN I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS CROSS TRAFFIC. WHEN THERE WAS A BREAK IN TRAFFIC I PRESSED THE GAS, THE RPMS WENT UP TO ABOUT 5K AND THE CAR SLOWLY GRINDED INTO GEAR, ALMOST LIKE A PERSON WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT VERY WELL. THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO NEARLY GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ACTIVE INTERSECTION AND I WAS NEARLY T-BONED. THANK GOOD THE OTHER DRIVERS SAW ME STRUGGLING AND STOPPED. THE ISSUES WITH THIS POWERTRAIN SEEM TO BE ENDLESS AND THE WORST PART IS THAT THEY OCCUR AT RANDOM WITH NO WARNING. *TR

FORD DEALER RESETS THE CODE AND THEN IT WORKS FINE AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME(THIS TIME A MONTH LATER). FORD CHARGES $100 TO RESET THE CODE EACH TIME, THEN SAY THEY CAN'T FIND A REAL PROBLEM. THEY SUGGEST TO REPLACE A POWER STEERING UNIT FOR $1500, BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN CAR IS SITTING. EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT IS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN. I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER. NO ADVANCE WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS.

THIS TIME THEY MENTIONED THERE WAS ISSUE WITH WIRING AND THE PCV VALVE WHICH ALSO DEALT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. LAST WEEK MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A HIGHWAY AND PROCEEDED TO PASS AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 SECONDS AND THANKFULLY WENT BACK INTO GEAR. MY HUSBAND WAS GOING OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS NOW WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME IT PLACED OUR LIVES IN DANGER. WE NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR BUT I FEAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BUY THIS CAR AND SOMETHING WORSE COULD HAPPEN THE THROTTLE BODY IN THIS CAR WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. ONCE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURE, CAR FAX REPORTED IT REPLACED, AND ONCE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES VERY SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. MY CONCERN IS IT IS VERY LIKELY THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD AGAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE SINCE WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT FROM WITHOUT HAVING THIS ISSUE FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY, MY SPEED AROUND 65 MPH. THE CAR STARTING STALLING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL. I MANAGE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER AFTER CROSSING 4 LANES. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR EVENTUALLY STALLED OUT. I RESTARTED THE CAR; IT TOOK A FEW EXTRA SECONDS THAN USUAL. THE CAR DROVE FINE TO WORK. IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I LEFT WORK AT AN INTERSECTION (PRETTY SCARY) 35MPH. I PULLED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND PUT CAR IN PARK, SHUT DOWN SPUTTERING ENGINE. I RESTARTED AND MADE IT HOME THROUGH RUSH HOUR. THE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY MORNING, I PULLED OUT OF MY GARAGE THE STALLING STARTED WITHIN 20 YARDS FROM GARAGE AT 5MPH. THEN AGAIN WHEN I GOT OFF WORK BUT THIS TIME IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES; ONCE AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. STALLED 3 TIMES ON FREEWAY, I MANAGE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY ON NEXT OFF RAMP AFTER 3 RESTARTS. THE CAR KEPT STALLING OVER AND OVER NO RESPONSE FROM GAS PEDAL EVERY FEW FEET I HAD TO RESTART. THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT HOME. I DIDN'T TRUST MY CAR FOR SAFE DRIVING. I MANAGED TO GET MY FORD FUSION TO A FORD DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY. THE FORD PERSONNEL SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF FORD FUSIONS STALLING. THEY PUNCHED IN MY VIN IN THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NO RECALLS. SINCE IT?S A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, CAR WON?T BE LOOKED AT UNTIL TUESDAY. NO LOANERS CARS AVAILABLE FROM FORD, I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE TIME BEING. I GOGGLED 2010 FORD FUSION STALLING AND IT POPPED UP RIGHT AWAY. I FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUIT AWHILE TO FORD FUSIONS. MANY OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS ARE DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY 2010 FORD FUSION. I?M SURPRISED FORD HAS NOT COME OUT WITH ANY RECALLS. SOMEONE CAN GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED IN TRAFFIC IF THIS DISCREPANCY ISN'T ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND HAD NO POWER PUSHING ON THE GAS AND WOULD DO NOTHING I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OFF FINALLY COASTED TO A DRIVE AND SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED BACK UP AND IT RAN FIND FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN AS I WAS GOING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY I GAVE IT GAS AND IT WOULD DO NOTHING AND I NEARLY GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE AND FORD WON'T PUT A RECALL ON IT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX IT AFTER MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND HOPE FORD RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. *TR

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE: FIST OCCURRENCE- DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER. PRESSING ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE CAR STARTING SHAKING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS PASSING IN THE FAST LANE, THEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AGAIN, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SAME SCENARIO AS THE FIRST. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND NO ERROR CODES REGISTER. HE CHECKED TWICE. SO FOR A WEEK AND A HALF THE CAR WAS FINE. THEN HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN, NO WARNING, JUST LOST POWER. THIS TIME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HAD IT TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP AND A CODE DID REGISTER THIS TIME. HAD IT TAKEN FOR FORD AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS AS THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT PART OF THE HIGHWAY IS 75 SO CARS WERE COMING UP FAST BEHIND ME. IF I HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES OCCURRED THE FIST OR SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE SEEMED MY FAULT AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO ERROR CODES TO AT LEAST VALIDATE WHAT HAPPENED. PLEASE, PLEASE, ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. NOT TO MENTION THE PEOPLE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY THAT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION SEL. CUSTOMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CONTINUED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.*SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP HARSHLY AND HESITATE ON ACCELERATION. THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY AND SOLENOID BODY WERE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, ONE OF THE TIRES WAS LEAKING AIR, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION AND BRAKES. THERE WERE NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE, THE CD PLAYER DID NOT WORK AT TIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DID NOT STAY IN PLACE, THE GAS OVER FLOW TUBE WAS INOPERATIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL HARD WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD TO BE SLAMMED EXTREMELY HARD, IN ORDER TO CLOSE IT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS BACKWARDS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DRAGGED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SURGE ON ITS OWN. EACH TIME THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT CERTAIN PROBLEMS, SHE WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND.
