2010 Ford Fusion Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered and hesitated to respond while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the valve cover gasket was fractured and had caused oil to leak onto the spark plugs. The mechanic diagnosed that the valve cover gasket and spark plugs needed to be replaced. Additionally, the mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the brakes, the calipers, and the tie rod needed to be replaced. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000.

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact was at a stoplight proceeding to make a left turn, and the vehicle inadvertently stopped. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove home safely. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 119,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH and slowing for a traffic sign, the vehicle stalled and the contact lost power steering; however, the brakes was functional. The contact safely pulled over and placed the vehicle in park(P) and restarted the vehicle. The failure recurred more frequently at low speeds while coming to a stop or driving slowly. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, WHEN THE ORANGE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR ENGINE LOST POWER. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THE CAR HAS A CODE OF P2111 POSTED, AND I THOUGHT MY 2010 FORD FUSION WAS COVERED UNDER FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03, BUT THEY DO NOT SHOW THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER 13N03, AND CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT IS NOT. THE SYMPTOMS OF THE PROBLEM EXACTLY MATCH THAT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. IT WAS QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION, HAVING THE ENGINE LOSE POWER LIKE THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, AND I FEEL THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN OLDER VEHICLE, IT SHOULD BE LLOOKED INTO FURTHER.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT OVERHEATED AND CUT OFF DUE TO A FAULTY HEAT PUMP WHICH RESULTED IN COOLANT LEAKING INTO IT AND WARPING MY ENGINE. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATOR THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAD EVEN JUST GOTTEN MY CAR "WINTER READY" WITH MY MECHANIC AND IN NOVEMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND STOPPING, THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT BACKWARDS WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE RPMS INCREASED, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS SMOOTHLY LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ONLY PRINTED OUT THE RECALL INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND ASKED A BYSTANDER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE BYSTANDER OPENED THE HOOD AND DEPRESSED THE MANUAL RESTART BUTTON, WHICH ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO RESTART AND RETURN TO NORMAL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. SOUTH BAY FORD (5100 ROSECRANS AVE, HAWTHORNE, CA 90250, (310) 584-7641) WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED A FUEL ODOR AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO LOCATED FAILURE CODE: P0453 (EVAPORATED EMISSION SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH HIGH INPUT). THE CONTACT ALSO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC HIMSELF, WHICH LOCATED THE SAME FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

2010 FUSION HYBRID LOST POWER THEN SHUT DOWN. A WARNING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND STOP. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE PROBLEM MAY BE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ACCORDING TO SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 45 MPH, THANKFULLY JUST BEFORE TURNING ONTO I95 INTERSTATE ENTRANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAVALIER FORD GREENBRIER (1515 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAPORATOR PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL VAPOR VENT VALVE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V79300 (FUEL SYSTM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,676.

I NOTICED TODAY THERE IS A FORD RECALL FOR 2012 THROUGH 2018 FORD FOCUS FOR A FAULTY PART THAT COULD LEAD TO ENGINE STALLS. THE RECALL STATES A MALFUNCTIONING VALVE THAT COULD RESULT IN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND POTENTIALLY ENGINE STALLS OR AN INABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE I AM DRIVING AND START TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR TO TURN THE CORNER THE ENGINE STALLS AND JERKS AND THEN IT GOES AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I SLOW DOWN OR TURN. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SAME SITUATION AS THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE FORD FOCUS. DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAN'T LOCK.

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

ERROR CODE P2112 - STUCK THROTTLE BODY. ACCELERATION DISAPPEARS AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, RESULTING IN LIMP ALONG, NO PROPULSION TO ZERO. CAR STALLS IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, REQUIRING IMMEDIATE PULLOVER. VERY UNSAFE. OTHER FUSIONS OF SAME EXACT YEAR, PRODUCTION LOCATION, AND MODEL ARE COVERED UNDER A CUSTOMER SERVICE BULLETIN 13N03, BUT NOT THE HYBRIDS, EVEN THOUGH EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. JUST WANT THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL BUG TO BE REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE. FORD INDICATES NO COVERAGE OR FIX, DUE TO IT BEING A HYBRID... ALTHOUGH SAME ISSUE AS NON-HYBRID FUSIONS FROM SAME YEAR, PRODUCTION FACILITY, BUILD DATE.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FIALURE. MY CAR HAS SAME ISSUE AS CAMPAIGN 13N03 BUT SINCE MINE IS HYBRID FORD WILL MOT HONOR IT. MY CAR SHUT OFF THREE TIMES ON A DRIVE FROM CALIFORNIA BACK TO AZ WITH ERROR PLEASE PULL OVER AND LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HOT OUTSIDE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO BILLY HOWELL FORD LINCOLN (1805 ATLANTA HWY, CUMMING, GA 30040, (770) 887-2311) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) IN AUGUST OF 2016. AT THAT TIME, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NO LEAKS WERE FOUND ON THE CPV FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN, BUT WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INSPECTED UNDER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

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

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.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING NEEDS REPLACED VEHICLE SHAKES. SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE 7 YEARS OLD

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DE-ACTIVATES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE WRENCH ICON COMES ON AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RUN VERY ROUGH, SURGING, THEN SLOWING DOWN, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CANNOT BE RE-ENGAGED. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED BY THE FORD DEALER 18 MONTHS AGO, AND THE CONDITION THAT EXISTS NOW WAS THE SAME THAT EXISTED PRIOR TO THE THROTTLE BODY BEING REPLACED 18 MONTHS AGO. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 68,000 MILES. FUEL ECONOMY IS 20% LOWER THAN NORMAL. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO ATTEMPT TO PASS ON 2-LANE ROADS, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER. THIS STARTED OCCURRING OCCASIONALLY IN MID-JUNE, 2017, AND NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THE CAR. CODE THAT WAS STORED WAS P2119, "THROTTLE BODY RANGE."

TAKATA RECALL WHENEVER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, MY CAR SEEMS TO STOP ACCELERATING OR STALL. THE RPM GOES UP, PUT IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, AND CUT MY CAR OFF FOR IT TO START DRIVING AGAIN AND REPEAT THAT PROCESS WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE. WHEN I GOT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND TOPPED OF IT STOPPED HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN IT STARTED MESSING UP AGAIN.

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!!!!

TL* 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD FAILED CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN OCTOBER OF 2016, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM) DUE TO THE PREVIOUS INSPECTION PERFORMED. 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......UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF *CN

WITHOUT WARNING, DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WE LOST POWER. GOT THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND REALIZED THERE WAS NO HEAT, THEN NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS ON HOT. THE BATTERY LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT TURNED ON. WE EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE TOWED AT A COST OF $460. THE MASTER MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE WATER PUMP CRACKED, THEN RESEALED ITSELF AND COOLANT MIXED WITH THE OIL WHICH KILLED THE ENGINE. HE SAID THERE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ANY WARNING AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE AND IS CATASTROPHIC. WE NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF $8000. THERE ARE FORUMS ONLINE WITH OTHER FUSION OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECOGNITION OR RECALL FROM FORD. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAD TO HAVE MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY REPLACED TWICE, ALSO NOT A RECALL BY FORD BUT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I GUESS THEY ARE OK WITH HAVING CARS LITERALLY TURNING OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BEFORE THEY FIX THE ISSUES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY OUR HOUSE WAS WITHIN 1 MILE OF WHERE THE FAILURE HAPPENED. AFTER MAKING IT HOME WE HAD THE OBD ENGINE CODE READ AND IT STATED THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. WE FOUND OUT SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE TO 10 YEARS 150,000 MILES. CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD WITH 109,000 MILES. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. WE IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED SERVICE AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS UNDER FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 13N03 BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THEY SUGGESTED WE RETURN WHEN THE CAR EXHIBITS THE ISSUE AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS "COME BACK NEXT TIME YOUR CAR FAILS WHILE DRIVING". THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WITH DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES, AND SERVICE WAS REFUSED. WE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND WAS TOLD THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND AFTERWARDS REVISED THEIR STATEMENT, CLAIMING THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON MUST BE ILLUMINATED FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COVERED UNDER FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 13N03. THIS IS A KNOWN INTERMITTENT ISSUE, AND ACCORDING TO THE SERVICING DEALER "THE CODE IS CLEARED AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES". THIS WAS NEVER MENTIONED WHEN MAKING THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. IF THE BURDEN OF PROOF WAS ON US, WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW WE ARE SIMPLY WAITING FOR THE FAILURE TO OCCUR AGAIN SO WE CAN HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE. HOPEFULLY, THE FAILURE DOES NOT HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED.

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.

TL* 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.

TL* 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

WHEN AT A STOP IT STOPS RUNNING. THE IDLE SPEED DROPS AND FLUCTUATES. IT IS STALLING WHEN STOPPED. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND LASTED 20 MILES AND THEN WENT OFF.

WATER PUMP IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT (3.5 LITER V6 ENGINE) FAILED, CAUSING SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND SUDDEN OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN I NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISING QUICKLY TO THE TOP. I HAD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR ONLY HAD 54,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND HAD BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH DOCUMENTED REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP.

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.

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.

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 [XXX] 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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

ON THE EVENING OF APRIL 22, 2016 CAR SHUT OFF WHEN IN MOTION AT 35MPH ON A CITY STREET. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I DROVE THE CAR 2 MILES TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE TO HAVE HIM CHECK IT. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET. FIVE TIMES. A 10 MINUTE DRIVE TOOK ME MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. ERROR CODE P2111 CAME UP. MY CAR HAS UNDER 68,000 MILES. THROTTLE BODY. I BELIEVE THIS IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE STARTING HAVING A ROUGH IDLE AND STALLING OUT AT A RED LIGHTS. I IMMEDIATELY HAD IT CHECKED, AND THE TECHNICIAN CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN, WITH NO WARNING I SAW SMOKE/STEAM POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR HELP AND ASKED WHAT TO DO. I WAS ADVISED BY THE TECHNICIAN TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LILLISTON FORD IN VINELAND, NJ. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. WHEN ASKED WHY, I WAS CONSISTENTLY TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WITHOUT TAKING THE MOTOR APART BUT THAT THEY FOUND ALL OF THE COOLANT IN THE ENGINE PAN, MIXED WITH THE MOTOR OIL. IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT THE HEAD GASKET WENT BAD AND COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE MOTOR CAUSING TWO THINGS TO HAPPEN - IT MIXED WITH THE ENGINE OIL (WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY BAD), AND SINCE NOW ALL OF THE COOLANT WAS OUT OF THE RADIATOR THE CAR OVERHEATED AND WARPED THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND WAS RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES AS SUCH. CASE NUMBER: CAS-9188661.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FIRST DEALER PERFORMED A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECK IN ADDITION TO THE RECALL REPAIR. WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEY CLEARED THE CODE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE DEALER PERFORMED A LEAK TEST ON THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV). THE DEALER DID NOT REMEDY THE RECALL. AFTER THE DEALER ALLEGEDLY COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER COVERAGE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD REMEDY THE FAILURE AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. PRIOR TO THE REPAIR, THE ONLY FAILURE EXPERIENCED WAS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY FLASHING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,168.

ENGINE WOULD DROP TO IDLE AND NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL, ONLY RESTARTING WOULD SOLVE. ESCALATED TO ENGINE COMPLETELY DYING REQUIRING A RESTART OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ON 10/20 DRIVING TO AIRPORT IN CHICAGO, CAR DIED A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. CALLED FORD CORPORATE REGARDING THE ETB CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, FOUND MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. ON 10/22 TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND THE ETB WAS REPLACED AT CUSTOMER EXPENSE. WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ETB'S BEING REPLACED UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. CALLED FORD CORPORATE AGAIN, BUT WOULD NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. A SERIOUS POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE WHEN A VEHICLE STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SUGGEST THAT ALL OF THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SATISFACTION PROGRAM OR THE PROGRAM SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO A RECALL PROGRAM.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE TEMP GAUGE WAS ON HIGH. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRECEDING THIS AND NOW LOW COOLANT ALARM. TURNED A CORNER TO PULL OFF AND BEFORE I COULD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE SHUDDERED TO A STOP CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. WITH NO WARNING ENABLING ME TO EITHER CHECK THE CAR OUT, OR SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THE WATER PUMP WHICH IS INSIDE THE ENGINE FAILED. IT HAS CONTAMINATED THE OIL NOW REQUIRING AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE. ON SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR THE FORD 3.5L V6 ENGINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES AND ITS DESIGN. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

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.

CAR CUT OUT AND WENT TO LIMP MODE. CODE P2111 - ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM OPEN THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR. IF I HAD NOT BEEN A EXPERIENCED DRIVER AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULT FROM SHUTTING DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A TWO LANE, RURAL ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY 2010 FORD FUSION STARTED SPUTTERING, COUGHING, JERKING. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR; THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND A RED-WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. I CRANKED THE CAR AGAIN; IN PARK, THE ENGINE SOUNDED FINE, BUT WHEN I PLACED IT IN DRIVE, THE SPUTTERING AND COUGHING STARTED AGAIN. I DROVE A FEW FEET, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS THREE TIMES, ALL TO THE SAME EFFECT: DRIVE A FEW FEET, ENGINE IS COUGHING, SPUTTERING, JERKING, THEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF. AFTER THE THIRD TIME, I CRANKED IT, BUT WHILE STILL IN PARK I REVVED UP THE ENGINE AS HIGH AS I COULD (ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR). AFTER THAT, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS NO COUGHING, NO SPUTTERING, NO JERKING, ACCELERATOR RESPONDED SMOOTHLY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME (HALF MILE) AND PARK THE CAR. BUT I AM TERRIFIED THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN--THIS TIME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE--AND THE ENGINE MAY AGAIN STOP WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING ALONG. I AM EVEN TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. A SCARY DANGEROUS CAR. *TR

I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE NOTING A ROUGH START BUT THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY AFTER I BEGAN DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD. ABOUT A HALF HR LATER I WAS TRAVELING AT 35MPH WITH THE SAME THING OCCURRING, I WAS ABLE AGAIN TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND ABLE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR NOTING AGAIN A ROUGH START BUT THE CAR PERFORMED AGAIN NORMALLY AND THE WRENCH WENT AWAY AGAIN. I WENT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND HOOKED MY CAR TO A COMPUTER FINDING P CODE 2111 WITH ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN. FORD INITIALLY TOLD ME THIS WAS MY ISSUE TO FIX WHEN I CALLED. THE SECOND TIME I CALLED I SPOKE TO A DIFFERENT REP AND INFORMED THEM OF THE KNOWN NHTSA INVESTIGATION AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM ALREADY ESTABLISHED. A CASE NUMBER WAS STARTED WITH THEM. I AM UNABLE TO GET TO A FORD DEALERSHIP UNTIL TUES DUE TO WORK. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED, ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON. *TR

THERE WERE TWO EVENTS WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, THOUGH, ENGINE DID NOT STALL, REQUIRING RESET BY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION THEN RESTARTING THE CAR.

THE NEXT 3 MINUTES THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH JUST THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I TOLD HER NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND TO SEE IF IT WOULD START TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE. I WILL NOW BRING THIS VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO JERKING, CLUNKING AND NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THERE IS CERTAINLY A TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE, RECALL OR HAVE FORD FIX THE ISSUE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THANKS YOU *TR

TRAVELING ON N.J. PARKWAY...SUDDENLY, ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF ACCELERATOR. HAD BEEN IN MIDDLE LANE AT THE TIME AND AS I TRIED TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD CARS HAD TO SWERVE INTO AROUND ME BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I REPORTED THIS TO DEALER, BUT SERVICE MANGER ACCREDITED THE PROBLEM TO WATER IN GAS LINE OR DIRT IN FILTER. AS OF THIS WRITING, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FROM THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS, HAD IT REPAIRED 2 WEEKS AGO, BUT TODAY, SAME PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. *TR

BEEN NOTICING THE CAR WOULD IDLE ROUGH FROM TIME TO TIME. WAS DRIVING HOME ON AUGUST 25, 2014 AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, HAD NO ACCELERATION, EVEN PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BOARD. PULLED OFF SHUT CAR DOWN, AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. DID NOTICE SOME MORE SPUTTERING ON THE DRIVE HOME. TOOK IT IN AUGUST 27, 2014 AND DEALER STATED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. $485.00 TO REPAIR THIS. I HAVE A 2005 FORD F150 ALSO AND STUCK $3,700 INTO IT LAST YEAR. THINKING THESE WILL BE THE LAST FORD PRODUCTS I WILL EVER OWN. I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 225,000, ONLY THING I EVER REPLACED, OTHER THAN REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEMS, WAS THE WATER PUMP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER. CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AT IDLE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN A MILE OR SO LATER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY FUSION DOWN A 45 MPH LOCAL ROAD WHEN IT STARTED SHAKING AND THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED OVER THE SIDE OR THE ROAD, STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND REMOVED THE KEY. I WAITED A MINUTE THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. WHEN I STARTED ACCELERATING THE CAR WAS JERKING. I GOT AROUND FIVE MILES AND THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I REPEATED TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, WAITING, THEN STARTING BACK UP AND WITHIN THE MINUTE IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF TWO MORE TIMES. I MANAGED TO GET HOME AND CALL THE DEALERSHIP. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR THEN DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. BUT I SEE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORD OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN, A WRENCH SERVICE LIGHT POPPED ON THE DASH, AND I WAS UNABLE TO PRESS MY GAS PEDAL. I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND I HAD NO POWER. I JUST ROLLED TO A STOP.. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM WITH GONE. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. PLEASE ISSUES A RECALL FOR THIS, AS I'VE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF FUSION OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO GET LUNCH AND EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER IN MY CAR AND SAY THE WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE. I MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND AFTER LURCHING TO A STOP, I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MOMENT AND STARTED IT AGAIN. AFTER PICKING UP MY LUNCH, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I BARELY GOT OFF THE ROADWAY. I PLUGGED A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE INTO THE CAR WHICH INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS "STUCK OPEN." *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH CAME ON. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE CAR ACTED FINE BUT REPEATED THIS PROCESS 5 MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME.CAUSING CARS TO ALMOST RUN IN TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. FOUND ON LINE WHERE, FORD WAS EXTENDING A WARRANTY ON 2010 FUSION THROTTLE BODY FOR 150,000 MILES. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE KEITH HAWTHORNE FORD DEALERSHIP IN BELMONT,NC AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS WAS TRUE IF IT WAS INDEED THE THROTTLE BODY. CALLED BACK LATER TO CHECK AND SAID THAT IT WAS INDEED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT MY CAR EVEN THOUGH ITIS A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH LOW MILES IS NOT COVERED BUT HAD NO REASON WHY. *TR

APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, I WAS DRIVING DOWN RT 28 IN FAIRFAX, VA. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF. NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES, TO SPEED. THE CAR BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR ENDING ME. I MADE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TOOK MY CAR TO KOONS FORD STERLING, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I GOGGLED IT AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THAT FORD HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I PAID TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. FAST FORWARD...............THREE WEEKS AGO WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD TELLING US THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS NOW BEING RECALLED AND IF WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE WORK DONE, WE SHOULD TAKE THE RECEIPT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OUR REFUND. WELL THAT WAS ON APRIL 1. STILL NOTHING. EACH TIME I CALL I'M TOLD THAT IT'S STILL UNDER REVIEW. ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT I PROBABLY WILL NEVER GET A REFUND, I'M WONDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED FROM THIS. IT TOOK FORD 2-3 YEARS TO DO THIS RECALL. *TT

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE JUST CUT OUT. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL. THE ENGINE WAS SURGING AROUND 10000 RPM, AND RUNNING VERY ROUGH. THEN THE VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP HOME MODE. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT IT DOWN PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART, BUT AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY. *TR

THE CAR WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE, AND LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. THE 'CHECK ENGINE' INDICATOR LIT UP. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT W/O INCIDENT, AFTER WHICH IT RAN NORMALLY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT AN ONLINE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FORTUNATE THAT NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

DRIVING IN FAR LEFT LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR HAD BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER SITTING IN PARKING LOT ALL DAY. IT WAS 96 DEGREES. CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE AND SLOW DOWN. I NOTICED THAT THE TOOL LIGHT WAS ON. OBVIOUSLY I HAD ENTERED INTO LIMP MODE AND FOUND A WAY TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TO MAKE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. ONCE STOPPED ENGINE LOPED ERRATICALLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE WAS NON-RESPONSIVE TO PEDAL CHANGES. PUT CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED 30 SECONDS AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND DROVE HOME (26 MILES) WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SURGING IN THE ENGINE THIS PAST WEEK. SYMPTOMS POINT TO THE THROTTLE BODY; BUT THIS IS SPECULATION AS I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED BY A PROFESSIONAL. I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS A CURRENT INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. THIS EVENT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. DRIVING CAN BE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND PARTS DO BREAK; BUT, THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME WARRANTS AN ADDITIONAL REPORT.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003 MY FUSION WAS HAVING STALLING PROBLEMS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WOULD ACT AS THOUGH THERE WASN'T ENOUGH FUEL BUT NOT ENOUGH TO STALL OUT. THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE LIKE CRAZY AND THROW THE ENTIRE CAR INTO A SHAKE THAT WAS INCREDIBLY STRONG. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP, PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK LEAVING THE HOUSE IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK. ONCE IT SHOOK SO HARD I THOUGHT IT MIGHT TEAR THE ENGINE MOUNTS RIGHT OUT OF THE CAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MULLINAX FORD OF APOPKA WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AS IT ISN'T A "MECHANICAL" ENGINE PART, THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT. *TR

MY 2010 FUSION CAR HAD BEEN USING QUITE A BIT OF GAS, THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON, . I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE EVAP CANISTER AND THE PURGE VALVE FOR 800.00 AS I HAD P0456 CODE, AND A P2169 CODE AND HAS RAW FUEL LEAKAGE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND CAME ACROSS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS A TSB BULLETIN, THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THIS YEAR MAKE/MODEL OF THE CAR. I THINK FORD IS AWARE THAT THESE COMPONENTS ARE FAULTY/DEFECTIVE AND DO FAIL AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND MADE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT(S). CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY CAR PAYMENTS AND MAKE COSTLY REPAIRS ON A 3 YEAR OLD CARS. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON THIS CAR CONCERING THIS KNOW PROBLEMATIC MATTER . *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL AND AS WE WERE TURNING I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND IT STALLED, I PRESSED IT AGAIN AND NOTHING. THEN TODAY SAME THING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION THANK GOD THERE WASN'T A LOT OF TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAD JUST HA THE OIL CHANGED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MORROW, GA. WHO ALWAYS DO AND INSPECTION TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER SERVICES NEEDED, WHICH THEY FOUND NO ONE. TWO WEEKS LATER ON MY WAY HOME THE ENGINE RAN HOT. AS IT TURNS OUT THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED BECAUSE OF PLASTIC IMPELLERS THAT ARE IN THE WORKMANSHIP. CALL FORD IN DETROIT TO INQUIRE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE WITH THIS CAR OR NOT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAY, THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE. THE SERVICE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RUSH HOUR AND THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. AFTER PULLING OFF OF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON. THE ENGINE APPEARED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MILES LATER. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER THE RESTART. I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DRIVE THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT ONLY COST ME $100, UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHER FOLKS WHO HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVIER OR IF I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY. *TR

INSTANCE #3 (IN 2 DAYS). AFTER I LEFT THE BREAKFAST PLACE (SEE INSTANCE #2), I DRIVE ABOUT A MILE AND IT STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AND WOULD NOT GO. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS WAS AT A LIGHT THAT JUST TURNED GREEN IN HEAVY ATLANTA MORNING TRAFFIC BTW. ~~I DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS DOING. INTERESTING THING IS THE SERVICE WRITER SAID HE WAS PRETTY SURE HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS AND SAID THROTTLE BODY BUT COULD BE THE ENGINE. ~~ HE SAID HE THOUGHT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT I GOT A CALL LATER SAYING, SORRY, NO THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WITH FIVE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MADE, YEAR AND MODEL THAT HAD THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN 2013. ADD TO THIS THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS JUST BY MY INITIAL DESCRIPTION. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? A CAR SUDDENLY LOOSING ALL PROPULSION IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. *TR

I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (APPROX 20MPH) WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE MECHANICAL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO MOVE TO ACROSS THREE LANES TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITH NO POWER. I ALMOST GOT THE CAR TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHEN IT STOPPED. I HAD TO GET OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AND PUSH THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR WHEN IT FIRED RIGHT UP LIKE THERE WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. I CONTINUED ON TO WORK. AFTER LEAVING WORK I WAS DRIVING HOME AT ABOUT 70MPH AND AGAIN OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR LOST POWER AND I AGAIN PULLED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN, AND CONTINUED HOME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF IT ALREADY HASN'T.... I ALMOST GOT HIT TRYING TO MOVE MY CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE!!!! *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AT NIGHT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ENGINE STOPPED PRODUCING POWER. ROUGH IDLE AND VIBRATION, FORCING ME TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. PRESSING GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT EVEN THOUGH ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. THIS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES DURING MY 30 MILE TRIP. EACH TIME I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING MODERATE TRAFFIC. ONCE ON A SIDE STREET I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN THE DRIVING LANE AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. VERY DANGEROUS. ON ALL OF THE OCCASIONS THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR THE PART AND LABOR. FORD KNOWS THAT THERE IS A FAULTY PART THAT CAUSES A HAZARDOUS LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ERROR CODE WAS P2111. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY FAIRLY NEW AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF FORD FUSION UP A HILL WITH MY FIANCE' AND 1 MONTH OLD BABY COMING HOME. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED AND CAUSE CARS TO ALMOST CRASH INTO ME. I HAD TO HURRY PULL OVER AND PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS NOT MAKING A TURN THROUGH TRAFFIC OR ELSE A TRAGEDIES COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I TRADED MY OTHER FORD FOR THIS NEW ONE THINKING IT WAS SAFER CHOICE. THE ENGINE TOOL CAME ON THEN WENT OFF AS I SHUT THE CAR OFF. TODAY I WAS DRIVING AGAIN ON 11/4/13 AND I WAS GOING THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT AND BOOM CAR STALLED AGAIN!! THIS TIME TRAFFIC RUSHING TO ME ON THE SIDE WHERE THEY CAN'T SEE MY HAZARDS ON. AGAIN WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR!!! I HAD TO RUN OUT TO STOP TRAFFIC. PLEASE NHTSA HAVE FORD FIX THIS ASAP OR MANY PEOPLE MAY BE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!! THEY ARE PUTTING BABIES AT RISK TOO!!! *TR

VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR GAS. HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SUBDIVISION WHEN CAR STARTED TO JERK AND STALL OUT. WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE, RESTART VEHICLE AND RETURN TO THE ROAD. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST WEEK, ONCE UPON A 4 LANE BOULEVARD. I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR CO. IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL AND REPAIR THE PART. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AS NO WARNING IS GIVEN THAT IT IS GOING TO DIE. IT JUST DIES AND LORD HELP YOU! I PLAN TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AND TRADE IT IN ON A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION ON AN ELEVATED PORTION OF AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHICH DOES NOT HAVE ANY SHOULDERS. AS I WAS PASSING A TRUCK, I SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I MOVED OVER TO THE DRIVING LANE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. FORTUNATELY THE DRIVER WAS ALERT. MY CAR QUICKLY LOST POWER. I COASTED TO A SPOT WERE AN ON-RAMP MERGES ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS SPOT WAS MARGINALLY SAFE WITH CARS SPEEDING BY ME ON BOTH SIDES. CITY POLICE CAME WITHIN 5 MINUTES AND PROTECTED ME WITH THEIR FLASHING LIGHTS AND IN 10 MORE MINUTES I WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. THEY FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FROZEN OPEN AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS COST $433 TO REPLACE. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY. I WAS TRULY TERRIFIED. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2010 FORD FUSION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

CAR LOST POWER AND ENGINE SEEM TO IDLE THREE TIMES WITHIN A 4 MILE TRIP. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM" WAS STUCK OPEN (ERROR CODE P2111). THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD PUT OUT BULLETINS IN THE PAST REFERENCING THIS PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND BECAUSE STOCKS WERE LOW DUE TO THIS FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS. *TR

CAR WAS RUNNING NORMALLY, ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND SLOWED TO A CRAWL AND SEEMED AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD AND PUT MY HAZARD FLASHERS ON AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THE CAR THEN SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. LUCKILY DURING LIGHT TRAFFIC AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT WOULD BE A DEATH TRAP, COMING TO A HALT IN SPEEDING TRAFFIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS MODEL CAR AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT. SINCE THE PART COSTS ABOUT $200 THEY DON'T WANT TO DO A RECALL SINCE IT WOULD BE COSTLY. *TR

LOST ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING HOWEVER. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED AND ACCELERATION WORKED LIKE NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY (9/18/2013).

THIS CAR HAS TO HAVE A RECALL .. BOTTOM LINE ! I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 15MPH IN THE CITY MAKING A LEFT HAND T URN AND THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SPUTTERD I HIT THE GAS AND NOTHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH WRENCH .. SAT THER FOR 10 MIN RESTARTED CAR AND MADE IT HOME .. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN CAR SINCE !!!! AND TODAY IS THE 18TH .. SIMPLY TO SCARED !! AFTER READING ALL INFO ON LINE IM LEANING TOWARD THE ( THROTTLE BODY ) BUT THIS EXPENCE I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET DELARSHIP SAYS AROUND 5-6 HUNDRED DOLLARS THAT I DONT HAVE RIGHT NOW .. SO I HAVE TO WALK PAST A CAR THAT IM STILL PAYING ON TO GET ON THE BUS UNTIL I HAVE ENOUGH TO FIX ... FORD ( FIX OR REPAIR DAILY ) IS WHAT FORD STANDS FOR !!!!!

I WAS ON I 81 SOUTH NEAR STAUNTON VA, PASSING A LINE OF TRUCKS WITH A LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME WHEN THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS DOWN TO 10 MPH BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PULL OFF THE ROAD, ALL THE TIME BRACING FOR AN 80 MPH IMPACT. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT IDLE, BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE AND THE WRENCH ICON DASH LIGHT WAS ON. I CUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND IT RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM THE NEXT DAY, THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND SAID IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS FRAUDULENT BECAUSE IT IS AN ENGINE PART, AND THE ENGINE IS PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. I ORDERED A REPLACEMENT OFF EBAY, AND CHANGED IT MYSELF. YOU ONLY HAVE REMOVE FOUR 8MM SCREWS AND THE ELECTRIC PLUG. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME. *JB

THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY DURING DRIVING, NO POWER WAS LEFT TO DRIVE WITH, LUCKILY IT WAS IN A QUIET STREET!! *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE STARTS SURGING AND FAILS TO RESPONSE TO GAS PEDAL MOVEMENT. THE DTC CODE DISPLAYED TWO DAYS LATER WITH CODE READER CONNECT PRE-FAILURE WAS P2111. *TR

CAR LOST POWER TOOL LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON STARTED HARD BUT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 10 MORE MILES AND IT DID THE SAME THING. VERY DANGEROUS ON EXPRESSWAY LOOSING POWER. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWO TIME IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN AT LEAST A FEW MILES BEFORE THIS OCCURRED BOTH TIMES. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO NOT BE IDLING TO SLOW. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE WRENCH WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

DRIVING ALONG AND VEHICLE LOST POWER. PULLED OVER AND TURNED OF VEHICLE. WAITED 1 MINUTE AND STARTED VEHICLE UP AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 15 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME AND MOST OF THEM OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. ALWAYS HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A MINUTE AND START THE VEHICLE BACK UP AND CAN CONTINUE ON. NO PATTERN EXCEPT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOVE 80 DEGREES. *JB

CAR LOSES POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED, RPMS DROP TO IDLE, ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT AIR OR FUEL, AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING, ENGINE OPERATION RETURNS TO NORMAL. INCIDENT HAS RECURRED ONCE. *JB

I ACCELERATED AFTER A RED LIGHT AND WAS TRAVELING UP AN INCLINE AND SUDDENLY I HAD NO ENGINE POWER. I THOUGHT CAR HAD STALLED BUT ALL LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND I STILL HAD STEERING CAPABILITY. I COASTED DOWN THE BRIDGE AND PULLED OFF INTO THE FIRST PUBLIC PARKING I COULD FIND. THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. I SHUT IT OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED. IT STARTED FINE AND TRAVELED OK ON THE WAY HOME. IT SEEMED A LITTLE HESITANT A COUPLE TIMES BUT IT DIDN'T REPEAT THE "LIMP-MODE" THAT IT WAS IN PREVIOUSLY. *JB

THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY LOSSES POWER. IT HAS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO PRESS ON THE GAS PETAL BUT THE CAR WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED.YOU MUST PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE AGAIN. IT HAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 2010 ESCAPE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2010 FORD FUSION FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED.*JS

MY 2010 FORD FUSION BEGINS TO SHAKE, VIBRATE AND THEN THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT EITHER INTERSTATE SPEEDS OR CITY DRIVING SPEEDS. I HAVE TO STOP, PLACE MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED BY A CAR BEHIND ME, BOTH ON THE INTERSATE AND ON CITY STREETS. *JS

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN WRENCH LIGHTS UP AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH NO ACCELERATION. SHUT CAR OFF AND WAS ALLOWED TO MAKE IT UP TO 45MPH AND UNDER 2K RPMS. RECALL FORD FUSION THROTTLE BODIES!!

RAPID DECELERATION WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, WRENCH SIGN CAME ON. PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND JERKING, TURNED CAR OFF TURNED BACK ON AND DRIVE FINE. BACK ON THE FREEWAY THE NEXT DAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND RAPID DECELERATION HAPPENED AGAIN. PULLED OVER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (VERY DANGEROUS BY THE WAY) TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND RAN FINE. FORD SAYS IT WILL COST ME $565.00 FOR A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND CAM ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TT

DRIVER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND WAS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. WHEN THE DRIVER PULLED OVER THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AND RUNNING ROUGH. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE DRIVER TRIED TO RESTART IT AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STATE BACK UP, BUT IT KEPT STALLING. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TT

DRIVER WAS COMPLAINING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND DRIVE IT INTO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DETERMINED AFTER DIAGNOSTIC THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD GONE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SHOP TOLD US IT WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 3-4 DAYS BEFORE THEY RECEIVED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN BE ABLE TO START THE REPAIRS. *TT

DRIVER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE PULLED OVER AND TURN IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND GET IT RESTARTED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TT

VEHICLE STALLED AND DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ONCE IT WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TT

GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, ENGINE JUST DIES ON ME, FORCING ME TO PULL OVER, IT LOOSES ALL POWER BUT IT GOES TO A VERY LOW RPM'S FOR A WHILE, ENGINE SHAKES AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES JUST TURN OFF, I TURN IT BACK ON AND IT RUNS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS OUT OF TIME APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, THIS CONDITION HAPPENED TO ME FOR ABOUT 15 TIMES IN A 100 MILES RANGE. SOME TIMES IT TAKES PLACE JUST AFTER LEAVING A PARKING LOT, SOME OTHER TIMES AT 20 MPH SO IT IS VERY UNPREDICTIBLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME PRETTY DANGEROUS. EVERY ONCE ON A WHILE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF, THEN IT IS NOT THERE. *TT

WITHOUT WARNING, ENGINE STALLED ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH CAUSING RAPID DECELERATION. AFTER RESTART, CONTINUED INTERMITTENT STALLING WITHOUT WARNING CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WEST BOUND I-275 IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY, NEAR I-71 WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES AS I MOVED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I DROVE TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS LIKELY A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS. BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND ONE THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

TWICE NOW I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE/JUMP. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER TO THE CAR, COULDN'T USE THE GAS PEDDLE AND STEERING WAS AWFUL. I HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT HOME AND DRIVE AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF WITH NO ISSUES. *TR

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS AND WE LET IT GO THEN IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 60MPH. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS A LOT ARE DOING THAT, PARTS ON BACKORDER, THERE ARE SO MANY. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL. SOMEONE TO DIE.??????????? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY MORNING COMMUTE DOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THERE WAS A CLUNKING TYPE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THEN THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE JUST FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT MORNING AND AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE ALL DAY I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND JUST RESET THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS PROBABLY A MALFUNCTION WITH THE COMPUTER THAT SENT A SIGNAL TO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THAT COST ME $103 TO JUST RESET THE COMPUTER. THEN 4 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS TO ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. I DID THE SAME THING BY PUTTING IT IN PARK, SHUTTING IF OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO CHECK THE NEXT MORNING BEINGS IT WAS AFTER HOURS AND THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. ON THE WAY TO DROPPING IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE. I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT LAME EXCUSE THEY COME UP WITH THIS TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN NOVEMBER 2012, GOING ABOUT 70MPH MY CAR LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN IT STARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. JULY 25 2013 I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 10MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, FROM JULY 25TH TILL AUG 3 THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT TIMES ALL GOING ABOUT 30MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR 2 DAYS AUG 2/3. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON AUG 6 2013 WERE THEY TOLD ME MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND NEED REPLACED AND WAS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $670, AND MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS PART IS NOT COVERED. I SEE THAT ALOT OF OTHER HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP. IM NOT PAYING TO FIX AND PART THAT IS FAULTY IN SO MAN Y VEHICLES. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE CAR MAKES A MUFFLED CLUNKING NOISE AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS GOING TOWARDS 0. I PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR TURN IT BACK ON AND IT RUNS FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES AND DOES IT AGAIN, THIS TIME THE NOISE IS LOUDER, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN SMELL BURNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WILL BE ABOUT $600 TO REPAIR IT. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 34 DAYS AGO. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON OUR RESIDENTIAL STREET A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND STOPPED. AFTER RESTARTING, CAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THIS WAS DISMISSED AS AN ANOMALY THE FIRST TIME. ON 8.1 THE CAR DID IT TWICE IN THE 8 MILE TRIP HOME FROM WORK WITH MY SON AND WIFE. TODAY, MY WIFE AND I WERE IN THE CAR WHEN IT DID IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT (UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS SATURDAY AND THE GARAGE IS CLOSED) THEN WHILE I WAS WAITING IN FRONT OF PANERA A SHORT TIME LATER THE CAR JUST DIED. THERE AGAIN, EACH TIME THE CAR RESTARTED AND RAN NORMALLY. *TR

CAR SHUT DOWN WHEN I WAS ON 288 RUNNING 70 HAD TO PULL OVER CUT CAR OFF START IT BACK UP THEN IT DID IT AGAIN 15 MIN LATER ON 95 I BOUGHT A NEW THROTTLE BODY INSTALLED IT AND NOW ITS DOING FINE. *TR

DRIVING AND JUST STOPS ON ME. *TR

DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE FREE WAY, GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR AND MY FUSION WENT INTO A POWER DOWN MODE. I TRIED STEPPING ON THE GAS AND THE CAR JUST SLOWED DOWN. I GOT TO THE SHOULDER AND WHEN THE CAR FULLY STOPPED IT STARTING SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF. I GAVE IT A MINUTE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAITED FOR A BREAK IN TRAFFIC. I GOT BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND MADE IT ABOUT 200 FEET BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND GAVE THE CAR ANOTHER MINUTE AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON IT HESITATED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTED AGAIN, AND I CREEPED OFF THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR UNTIL I REACHED A SAFE SPOT TO PARK IT. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT IS WAITING TO BE SEEN BY A MECHANIC. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A MAJOR, HEAVILY TRAVELED (WITH MANY TRACTOR TRAILERS), DIVIDED HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SHUT DOWN. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE; THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AS TRUCKS AND CARS HAD TO BREAK, WHILE I STEERED THE CAR TO THE NARROW SHOULDER. THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING (TACH SHOWED 900 TO 1000 RPM). HOWEVER, ENGINE WAS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO MY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, PUT THE FLASHERS ON AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT ONE-QUARTER MILE, THE SAME ENGINE SHUTDOWN OCCURRED. CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. THE AUTO REPAIR CENTER CHECKED FOR TROUBLE CODES. THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE. SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPAIR, I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON TO FORD OWNERS. I WAS GRATIFIED TO SEE THAT YOUR AGENCY HAS OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. I THEN CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT "THEY HAVE SEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT", BUT CONFIRMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. *TR

WENT TO START CAR IN DRIVEWAY AND IT STARTED IN LIMP MODE. LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT AND IT STARTED FINE AND RAN OKAY FOR ANOTHER 9 DAYS. THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN RURAL HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN. PULLED OVER, WAITED, RESTARTED, HOPING TO GET TO THE NEXT CITY. HOWEVER, AFTER ANOTHER 7 OR 8 MILES, IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AGAIN AND I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO DEAL. FORD SERVICE TOLD ME THIS WAS THE THIRD INSTANCE THEY HAD IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO, THAT FORD IS NOT PRODUCING THESE PARTS (FOR A KNOWN DEFECT!), AND THAT IT TOOK THEM EIGHT DAYS TO GET THE LAST PART. BESIDES THIS BEING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE THAT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! MY FATHER RETIRED FROM FORD AND WE HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANY OTHER KIND OF VEHICLE BUT THIS SITUATION IS MAKING ME RE-EVALUATE MY LOYALTY TO FORD PRODUCTS. *TR

ENGINE IS SURGING WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS AND NOW WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS ON IT GOES ALMOST OFF WHILE THE SURGE HAPPENS THEN COMES BACK ON WHEN THE SURGE STOPS. I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TIGHT AS THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE. HAPPENS EVERY 5-10 SECONDS OR SO AND EVERY TIME I AM AT IDLE. WHEN PULLING INTO GARAGE AT SLOW SPEED THE CAR SURGES SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

VEHICLE ACTED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF BUT DID NOT CUT OFF ACCELERATION WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS I CUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTARTED IT THEN WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES THEN SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR

VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP-HOME" MODE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. HAPPENED ON I-95 AND WAS LUCKY I COULD PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING KILLED. DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN WELL-KNOWN TO THEM BY THEN. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND GOT WORSE AND NOW CAR IS IMMOBILE AND TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECTION THROTTLE BODY WHICH FORD IS WELL AWARE OF AND PART IS BACK-ORDERED 7-10 DAYS (THEY SAY). NHTSA INITIATED AN INVESTIGATION OF PROBLEM IN FEB 2013 BUT FORD HAS NOT INFORMED CUSTOMERS OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOR OFFERED ANY FIX. SEEMS UNCONSCIONABLE TO ME. WHAT DOES NHTSA PROPOSE TO DO ABOUT THIS AND WHY HASN'T IT DONE SO? THIS SITUATION IS LITERALLY WITHOUT EXAGGERATION A DANGER TO HUMAN LIFE AND THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOTHING. WHAT IS NHTSA FOR? *TR

LEAVING DRIVEWAY VEHICLE APPEARED TO LOOSE ALL POWER FROM THE ENGINE, IT DID NOT STALL, ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO LEAVE BACKED CAR UP INTO DRIVE WAY. CHECKED ALL FLUIDS ENGINE OIL, TRANSMISSION OIL WERE BOTH IN THE APPROPRIATE RANGE. RESTARTING THE CAR ENGINE LIGHT CLEARED, SECOND ATTEMPT TO LEAVE CAR HESITATED AND THEN DID STALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AND STAYED ILLUMINATED. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND RETURNED HOME. LET VEHICLE SET ABOUT TEN MINUTES, RESTARTED ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, DROVE CAR SHORT DISTANCE ABOUT .25 MILES DID NOT STALL OR HESITATE HOWEVER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR 2010 FORD FUSION USED AND THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE CAR WE HAD A PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND WHEN WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD JUST CHANGED THE OIL AND NEEDED TO RESET THE COMPUTER. WE NOTICED THAT WHEN WE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD AND STALL. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD TO BRING THE CAR BACK AND THEY WOULD FIX IT AND PROVIDE US WITH A LOANER IN THE MEANTIME. WHEN I CALLED BACK TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE I WAS THEN TOLD THEY WOULD NOT FULFILL THERE STATEMENT. WE CALLED, SENT EMAIL AND NEVER RECEIVED AND RESPONSE. I HAD PRETTY MUCH GIVEN UP ON HELP UNTIL BY MISTAKE THEY HAD CALLED US ABOUT OUR RECENT PURCHASE AND THEY HAD STATED THEY HAD CALLED THE WRONG PERSON, I VOICED MY CONCERN AS THE CAR HAD BEEN GETTING WORSE AND THE STALLING, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WAS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND DANGEROUS. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED, AND SOME REPAIR. WE WERE RECENTLY INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM IN THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH I HAVE FOUND OUT IS ON BACK ORDER AND WAS TOLD THE MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER MAKING. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE ON THE SAME MAKE/MODEL. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOU ARE A ONE CAR FAMILY YOU CANNOT JUST SET YOUR CAR ASIDE AND NOT GO TO WORK OR OTHER NECESSARY PLACES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY AFTER AT LEAST 2 YRS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF SO FAR. SOMEONE WILL, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM FORD AND OTHERS ARE DEFINITELY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO NO PART. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY,

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND MY CAR STALLED. THE WRENCH SYMBOL LIT UP AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, AND HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DIED, EXCEPT THE POWER WAS STILL ON. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND HAD TO PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND PULL OVER, ALTHOUGH THIS HWY DOESN'T HAVE A SHOULDER, JUST A GRASS MEDIAN. THERE IS A CURB SO I WAS STILL FORCED TO JUST COME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE LEFT LANE. AS THE CAR COMES TO A STOP, IT SHAKES. I HAVE TO TURN POWER OFF BY TURNING KEY, THEN TURN KEY TO START CAR AGAIN. IT TURNS OVER A COUPLE TIMES, THEN STARTS AND I'M ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. IT DID THIS AGAIN 2 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING THAT SAME EVENING. THE NEXT DAY, NOTHING, THEN THE THIRD DAY, SAME THING. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND REMAINS. OF COURSE WHEN THIS HAPPENED EACH TIME, I WAS ON THE HWY AND HAD MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT, AGES 7 AND 9. I MOSTLY FEARED NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AS I WAS UNAWARE OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AT FIRST. AFTER RESEARCH AND USING A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, I HAVE LEARNED IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. PLEASE PROVIDE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS SO THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO GET THIS REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME ASAP. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. A WRENCH SYMBOL DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE ON THE GAS BUT COULD NOT MOVE. I TO HURRY UP AND PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE I GOT IT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES STARTED IT BACK UP DRIVE TWO BLOCKS AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I ONLY HAD THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AND COULD HAVE A CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I THANKS GOD FOR WATCHING OVER ME. IM A SINGLE PARENT AND NEED A VEHICLE AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR COSTLY REPAIRS. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLS AND THROTTLE BECOMES ON RESPONSIVE . WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE . THIS OCCURED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS . I DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND AFTER IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE DEALER STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG; HOWEVER, THE IDENTICAL FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH A WRENCH LIGHT. THE CAR NO LONGER ACCELERATES AND STARTS STOPPING. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED IT STARTS SHAKING. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WITH THE LAST ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING. SHE AS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. SHE MANAGED TO SOMEHOW GET IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS IT WAS DYING AND SHAKING. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE PART SO IT CAN'T BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. IT SEEMS IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE MIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION (40000 MILES) SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT STALLED AND WOULD NO LONGER MOVE UNTIL IT WAS SHUT OFF AND CRANKED BACK UP. I HAD TO MANEUVER MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY BY COASTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN SOME BAD GAS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT RECENTLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER A RED LIGHT. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD. YOU MUST DEPEND ENTIRELY ON COASTING TO SAFETY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING . THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD POSSIBLY TAKE 8 WEEKS TO GET A NEW ONE SINCE SO MANY ARE BEING NEEDED. WHY HAS FORD NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PART? I HAVE READ MANY ACCOUNTS ONLINE OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HOPE THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING INJURED FOR FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WRENCH WARNING ICON AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 1,000 AND THE CURRENT FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST SPEED, THEN WENT VERY SLOWLY. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SO I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT SEEMED FINE SO I PROCEEDED AND IT WENT APPROXIMATELY 150 YARDS AND THEN REPEATED THE SUDDEN LOSING POWER. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAID I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY AND 200 MILES FROM THE DEALER WHO HAD JUST REPAIRED A PROBLEM TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I DECIDED TO RETURN HOME AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY. IT DID NOT LOSE POWER DURING THE TRIP AND AFTER THE THIRD TIME OF STOPPING THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. ALTHOUGH THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY..THE SERVICE DEPT. PERSON SAID IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN. I CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR. *TR

ON 5/22 DASHBOARD MESSAGE TO CHECK GAS INLET AFTER FUELING. AFTER DOING THAT THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. 5/23 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT BY THE DEALER. 5/24 DEALER CLEARED CODES AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. 6/4 MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, LOST ACCELERATION WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAR SPUTTERED SOME MORE AND SHUT OFF. SAT A MINUTE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 2 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. 6/5 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT RECHECKED. WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACED AND THE GAS INLET ASSEMBLY REPLACED. I OPTED TO HAVE THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACED BECAUSE NO WARRANTY AND COULDN'T AFFORD $700 REPAIR. 6/6, HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR HOME, ALL WAS FINE. 6/7 THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN, IT SPUTTERED AND SHUT OFF. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN WENT OFF. PULLED OVER, RESTARTED IT, IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 3 MILES. WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER PULLING OUT INTO THE ROAD WAY. I COASTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THERE WAS NO LANE TO PULL OVER SO I WAS IN THE ROAD WAY. STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DID THE SAME THING, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. GOT GOING AGAIN SO I COULD PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFER, AND GOT INTO A TURN LANE, IT SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION TO PARK IT. VERY SCARY!! GOT CAR TOWED BACK TO FORD. 6/7 AND 6/10 MECHANIC STILL COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. 6/11 I GET A "RECOMMENDED REPAIR" EMAIL, $1800 TO REPLACED VCT SOLENOID PHASER, BOLT,VALVE COVER GASKET,FRT CRANK SEAL, DIAMOND WASHER AND CRANK BOLT,TA-30 SEALER,OIL AND FILTER. CODE P052B, SAID IT'S A TIMING ISSUE. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. WARRANTY EXPIRED, NO RECALLS AND FORD SERVICE CAN'T BE SURE THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER WHILE DRIVING AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN THE INTERSTATE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO LAMARQUE FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. LAST WEEK, I WAS AGAIN GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I HAVE 40300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE PARTS WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR A YEAR. IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT WILL TAKE 2 TO 3 WEEKS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT AFTER READING ON YOUR SITE, IT IS VERY WELL KNOWN WITH THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND HESITATES TO START BACK UP. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES, INCLUDING LATE AT NIGHT WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILD. *TR

I TRAVELING ON I-45, THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75 MPH. IT WAS AT NIGHT. THERE IS RECENT CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ROUTE AND THERE WAS ABOUT 100 YARDS OF NO SHOULDER. SUDDENLY MY ENGINE STOPPED. I PULLED OVER AS FAR AS I COULD - I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. OTHER CARS WERE ALSO GOING THE SAME RATE OF SPEED. I HEARD TIRES SCREECH BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS - WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. THIS WAS A NEAR MISS - MY SON AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THIS NIGHT. I WAS VERY ANGRY TO HEAR THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2010 FORD FUSIONS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS THE "THROTTLE BODY" AND SAID THAT FORD IS PROBABLY NOT RECALLING IT BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A BACK ORDER ON THIS PART. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE WARNED! *TR

ENGINE THROTTLE FAILURE, APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE VIA BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH. IS FORD AWARE AND SUPPOSED TO HAVE NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED ON NOVEMBER 30, 2012 WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 29,000. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD HESITATE, BUT NOT COMPLETELY STALL, WHEN GOING APPROX. 25, 35 AND 45, AND SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN I FIRST TOOK OFF. I DID NOT EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT AND WAS TRULY SHOCKED ONCE I HAD MY FIRST ENCOUNTER. MY FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON AN INTERSTATE WHERE I WAS GOING APPROX. 70. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING BADLY AND I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ONLY THING I COULD COMPARE IT TO WAS HAVING A TIRE TO BLOW OUT BUT MUCH, MUCH WORSE. I CHECKED MY TIRES AND, THEN I STARTED THE CAR UP AND KEPT GOING TO MY DESTINATION. A FEW DAYS LATER IT OCCURRED AGAIN ON A RURAL ROAD WHERE I WAS GOING 55. I ONCE AGAIN STOPPED AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION. THIS TRULY SCARED ME TO WHERE MY NERVES WERE FRAZZLED, AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE NOW, I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM IN A RURAL AREA THAT IS MOUNTAINOUS AND WHERE 18-WHEELERS CONSTANTLY TRAVEL THE INTERSTATES, WHICH MAKES IT THAT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE 2010 FUSION. I JUST HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAS AN ACCIDENT AND GETS KILLED. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION TO DROP CHILD OFF AT SCHOOL. CAR STARTED LUNGING FORWARD AND THEN WANTING TO DIE. FINALLY GOT IT INTO A PARKING SPACE AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS AND DIES. TOWED TO FORD DEALER, SAID IT WAS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. COST $404.05. TWO DAYS LATER, DIED IN VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. TOWED AGAIN. NOW IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. WAS TOLD, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, THAT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. 1200 JUST MADE AND SENT TO PACKAGING CO. MAY OR MAY NOT GET ONE OF THE PARTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT VERY BADLY IN THIS INTERSECTION AND DEPENDING ON WHERE ONE IS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THEY COULD END UP GETTING HIT HARD ENOUGH THAT IT MAY KILL THEM. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2010 FORD FUSION SEL AWD AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND THE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. HOWEVER, WITHIN A FEW MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CHECKED THE DTC WITH MY SCANNER AND GOT BOTH P2111 AND P2112. BOTH ARE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD IS BACK ORDERED ON THIS PART AND THE CAR IS NOT DRIVE ABLE WITHOUT IT. IF THE PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR IN TRAFFIC, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR THE ENGINE LOST RPM, WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS AND CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL. AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. REPEATED RESTARTS OF THE ENGINE MET WITH LOW RPM AND SURGING ENGINE CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD NOT "SETTLE DOWN" BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. AFTER LEAVING THE ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY - TOMORROW, JUNE 3RD). THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 19, 2013. [SEE NHTSA ODI REFERENCE NUMBER 10500133]. *TR

DATE OF INCIDENT OR CRASH WAS 4/18/2013, NOT ON APRIL 18, 2012 AS WAS PREVIOUSLY STATED... *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY NIECE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SPIT AND SPUTTER, THEN THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITH NO HARM OR DAMAGE, WHEN I CHECKED FOR A DTC IT POINTED TO THE THROTTLE BODY, $200 DOLLARS FOR THE PART, FORD SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THIS FOR ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAS BECOME A DEATH TRAP.. THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WITHOUT WARNING, WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR A STREET.. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN AUGUST 2012. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2012, AND IT RAN FINE UNTIL JULY 2012.. THAT'S WHEN I WOULD BE RIDING DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SPUTTER, WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THERE WOULD BE NO POWER TO THE CAR, NO WAY TO ACCELERATE AT ALL..AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER.. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY WHICH WASN'T BAD AND CLEANED THE MASS AIRFLOW FOR $416.. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM..NOW THE WORST THING HAPPENED, MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED OVER $6000 IN DAMAGE AND FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THESE CARS... THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH.. PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER , SO THAT SHOULD BE A REASON FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED!!! I HAVE CONTACTED FORD TO GET SOME JUSTICE ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE WRENCH WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2013 ON INTERSTATE 4 IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55-60 MPH AND MY 2010 FORD FUSION STARTED TO STALL AND SPUTTER. THIS IS AN EXTREMLY BUSY INTERSTATE AS IT RUNS THROUGH DOWNTOWN, ORLANDO IS THE MAIN ROUTE TO WALT DISNEY WORLD AND TAMPA, FL. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THROUGH 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN LAST YEAR AND HAD IT REPAIRED COSTING ME AROUND 800.00 WHICH I DID NOT HAVE AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS FINE AND NOW HERE I AM A YEAR LATER WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM, THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRENTY AND I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I WAS LUCKY, THOUSANDS OF CARS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED TRAVEL THIS INTERSTATE. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AGAINST FOR TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AGAIN. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS. I HAVE FOUND THAT FOR SOME REASON IT IS INEVITABLE TO HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE CAN GET THIS TAKE CARE OF. *TR

VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLS AND THERE IS NO POWER. WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARS. ARE ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! VEHICLE IS ALWAYS WARMED UP NEVER HAPPENS WHEN JUST STARTING OUT! WAS THE THROTTLE BODY.... *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL FORWARD POWER AND ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. I HAD TO PULL INTO THE GRASSY MEDIAN OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND AND MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE FOR A FEW SECONDS, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO THE CLOSEST EXIT. AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2010 FUSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT THE PART TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT MAY BE BETWEEN 2 WEEKS AND 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE FIFTH TIME THAT THIS TYPE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED MOVING FORWARD. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED HAZARD LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION AND CAR STARTED. PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I FELT THAT MY LIFE WAS ENDANGERED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION HOME FROM WORK LATE AT NIGHT AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING AND SLOWING DOWN. THE CAR SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AROUND ABOUT, THANK GOD A POLICEMEN WAS BEHIND ME, BECAUSE IF NOT I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. I WENT THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE THE CODE PULLED FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FOUND OUT THE THROTTLE BODY IS STICKING OR GOING BAD. UPON MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND OUT THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS AND FORD HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANYMORE PROBLEMS UNTIL AGAIN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, LATE AT NIGHT AND THE CAR DID IT AGAIN THIS WAS 5/21/13, DID I MENTION I AM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE CAR SLOWED NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF A 2 LANE ROAD AND THEN CAME TO AN COMPLETE STOP. I TURNED MY FLASHERS AND THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND WENT AROUND, I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP BUT IT WAS STILL SPUTTERING LIKE IT WANTED TO CUT OFF, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE LESS THAN ONE MILE TO MY HOME. THIS PART GOING BAD ON THESE FORD FUSION IS AN SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BY FORD, AN RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW THAT I AM READY TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY IT IS ON BACKORDER HERE IN GA AND THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE ANY SHIPMENTS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART AND MAKE FORD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL COST OF THESE REPAIRS. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE, AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I LET THE CAR REST FOR A MINUTE, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEM. MY EXPERIENCE APPEARS IDENTICAL TO THOSE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER, AND FORD DEALERS CHARGE 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS INDEPENDENT MECHANICS TO FIX IT. IT WOULD SEEM LIKE IF THE PROBLEM IS SO PERVASIVE THAT THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE IT IS USED SO MUCH, THIS SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND COASTED INTO THE TURN LANE, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, I DROVE ANOTHER 3 MILES AND HAD STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE INTO THE TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER AND VERY LITTLE TIME TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO A SAFE PLACE. *TR

MY FUSION WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ANAHEIM CA. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE MY 2 YEAR OLD CARS: ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IT KEPT STALLING EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, THIS ALSO HAPPENED A MONTH AGO AND I TOOK IT IN AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE FINDING NOTHING WRONG IT SHOWED NO PROBLEMS, I ALSO VIDEO TAPED THE EVENT. THIS HAPPENED BOTH AT SPEEDS OF 60-65 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR. I AM ON DISABILITY AND IT IS NOW GOING TO COST OVER $400 THAT I CANNOT AFFORD. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPED AS I WAS LEAVING MY SUB-DIVISION, I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE TURN AND THE CAR LOST POWER, NO ACCELERATION. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. SECOND TIME IT HAPPEN I WAS TAKING THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND WHY IS WAS LOSING POWER. I STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM LIGHT AND THE CAR JURKED THEN LOST POWER. I HAD TO TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART THE ENGINE. FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON RESIDENTIAL STREET. ENGINE STUTTERED, WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THROTTLE RESPONSE BECAME NONEXISTENT. ERROR CODE SHOWN WAS FOR STUCK OPEN/ CLOSED THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE. I NOTICED THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I THEN HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE EVALUATED. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BECAUSE THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OUT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY STRANGE BECAUSE A CAR JUST DOESN'T STOP AND LOOSE POWER FOR NO REASON. I TOOK THEIR WORD FOR IT AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ON APRIL 19, 2013, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, THIS TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE MY VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. UNLIKE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS ALMOST IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING EACH OTHER INCLUDING THE BACK OF MY CAR. I WAS FURIOUS BECAUSE I FELT THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER BY NOT LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST INCIDENT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED A SECOND TIME, THIS TIME THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTED THROTTLE BODY. THEY EXPLAINED THEY CANT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITHOUT A CODE, EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE WRENCH LIGHT AND THE POWER LOSS OF MY VEHICLE. I HOPE FORD TAKE CARE OF THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. MY SAFETY WAS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION 2 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE OTHER MORNING I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GYM AND THE CAR LOST TOTAL POWER, SPUTTERED THEN JUST DIED. IT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN VERY COMMON IN THIS YEAR OF THE FORDS. IT IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING AS IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL PROBLEM. THE TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIRS WAS 600.00. I REALLY HOPE FORD PLACES A RECALL ON THESE THROTTLE BODIES, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

1ST INCIDENT: CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHILE GOING 40 MPH, COASTED INTO PARKING LOT, RESTARTED CAR AND DROVE FINE - NO WARNING LIGHTS 2ND INCIDENT: 6 WEEKS LATER WITH NO ISSUES OR WARNING LIGHTS CAR STALLED AGAIN LATE AT NIGHT WHILE GOING 35 MPH UP A SMALL RISE 3RD INCIDENT: 2 DAYS LATER - STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS, CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, DID NOT STALL, BUT WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH WHILE ENTERING ATTEMPTING TO ENTER INTERSTATE. SAT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE FOR 45 MINUTES WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH COST $385. THE NOTES ON THE INVOICE STATE THEY "RETRIEVED CODE P2111 THROTTLE SYSTEM STUCK OPEN." I FEEL CERTAIN FORD HAS SOME SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THESE CARS AS THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY HAD TO BE REBUILT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT NO CAUSE FOR FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CAR ENGINE DIED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND HAD TO COAST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. HE CLEANED THE INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY. IT APPEARED TO FIX THE CAR. HOWEVER, A FEW DAYS LATER THE CAR DIED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ON A TOLLWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING 70 MPH. I HAD TO CLEAR ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT POWER. I HAD TO BE TOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE TOLLWAY AUTHORITIES, BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS BEING STALLED ON THE SHOULDER. MY MECHANIC NOW TELLS ME THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS FORD. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL AT TIMES APPEAR TO LOSE POWER AND GO INTO "LIMP HOME MODE". A NON-DEALER DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED A "P2111" ERROR CODE FOR "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN". THIS SYMPTOM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AT MULTIPLE RATES OF SPEED, RESULTING IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. THE DEALER HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO REPLACE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TWO DAYS AGO MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO START UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. TODAY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THE MIDDLE LANE, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I AM GRATEFUL TRAFFIC WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT A FASTER SPEED. THE ENGINE STARTED BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. *TR

DRIVING AND CAR SPUTTERED AND LOST POWER. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OFF ONTO SHOULDER. TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED CAR AND TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED. HAD CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND FOUND THAT THROTTLE MOTOR WAS NOT RESPONDING. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *TR

IN MODERATE TRAFFIC ON I385, TRAVELING AT 60 MPH, WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS THERE WAS A SUDDEN "CLUNK" AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY WITH AN OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE OF 64 DEG. F. PAVEMENT WAS DRY. WITH MY WIFE AND TWO GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR I HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF MODERATE TRAFFIC TO SAFELY GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. SOME CARS AROUND ME HAD TO MAKE AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS. NOT GOOD! ONCE I GOT STOPPED IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITH THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ACTIVATED, I DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING WITH THE RPM SURGING BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 700 AND 1500 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO AN EXIT RAMP AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH WITH THE CAR JERKING FORWARD WITH THE CHANGE IN RPM. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS ON BUT NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. ONCE ON THE EXIT RAMP I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-START IT. AFTER A LONG CRANKING CYCLE THE ENGINE RE-STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY. THERE WAS NO "WRENCH" OR "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AFTER THE RE-START. THE CAR RAN NORMALLY ON THE TRIP HOME (APPROX. 10 MILES). THE ENGINE IS A 3.0 LITER, V-6 WITH "FLEX FUEL" CAPABILITY. *TR

MY FORD 2010 FUSION, WHEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC.. WOULD STALL WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR WITH VERY LITTLE RESPONSE. THEN IT WILL FINALLY PICK UP SPEED. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCE THE "ENGINE SHUT DOWN" AS OF YET AND I HOPE I DON'T. AFTER READING THE OTHER "COMPLAINTS", NOW I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WILL TAKE CARE OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY AT ALMOST 60MPH THE CAR SHOOK/SHUTTERED, THEN A WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME AND BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND ONLY 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC ANYWAY AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. BECAUSE I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT AFTER THIS I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER (EWALD IN HARTFORD, WI) TO HAVE IT CHECKED OVER. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEN THIS SAME SCENARIO OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT 3-1/2 WEEKS LATER AT 5:15AM ON MY WAY TO WORK. THIS TIME I WAS JUST PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND BARELY GOING 20MPH. IT DID THE SAME THING WITH SHAKING, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON AND THE CAR STALLING. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER WHERE I WAS SO I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK OR HELP. I STARTED IT BACK UP AND TOOK IT BACK HOME WHERE IT SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR 1-1/2 DAYS UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP. EWALD FORD LOOKED AT IT FOR ME AGAIN BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO START IT AGAIN IF IT HAPPENS OR THE CODES WILL CLEAR OUT SO I WILL NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED OR PUT A PORTABLE CODE READER ON IT TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOMETHING FOR THEM. I JUST SAW AN ARTICLE IN OUR MILWAUKEE PAPER STATING THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THESE ISSUES AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THANK YOU!! *TR

DRIVING AT 40 MPH ENGINE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE". THE ENGINE REMAINS RUNNING, BUT NO POWER. PULLED OVER AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. RESTARTED AND RAN FINE EXCEPT THE PROBLEM RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. LOSING POWER AND/OR SPEED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TRAFFIC COULD PROVE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE THROTTLE VALVE WAS STICKING AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE ADDITIVES THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MANDATES, BUT NOW I AM HEARING THAT IT IS PROBABLY FROM A DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARD. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE THE REPAIR WAS DONE. *TR

AS I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, CHOKED, WHEEZED AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT GO OVER 10-15 MPH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE DIED. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED THE NEXT DAY TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND ALSO HAD CREATED A LOT OF DEBRIS IN THE FUEL INTAKE SYSTEM. CLEANING OF THE FUEL INTAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY WAS AROUND $700. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME UNTIL I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT NHTSA HAD OPENED AN INQUIRY INTO THIS POSSIBLE DEFECT ON THE FUSIONS, SO I WANTED TO ADD THAT I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS WAS BEING INVESTIGATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE THEN STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR DRIVING 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE CODES SHOWED A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE DEALER CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,449 THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT IDLE AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND THE ENGINE WOULD GO TO IDLE OR COMPLETELY STALL, AND THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE.

AS I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT A SIGNAL THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED - NO LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. SECOND TIME I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT APPROX 5-10 MPH AND IT DIED AS I CAME OUT OF TURN. BOTH TIMES IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. FORD DEALER DID COMPLETE CHECK AND EXTENDED ROAD TEST ON 2-5-13 BUT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THERE WERE NO COMPUTER ERRORS GENERATED. BOTH INCIDENCES THE FAILURE OCCURED DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC ON MAJOR STREETS WITHIN THE CITY. MY CONCERN (OTHER THEN IT DYING) IS THAT NOTHING LIT UP OR DISPLAYED ON THE DASH TO INDICATE THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. IT WASN'T UNTIL I PUT ON FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL I REALIZED IT WAS NOT RUNNING. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH. SECOND OCCURRENCE. FIRST WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR EARLIER. IMMEDIATELY RESTARTS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. EACH TIME, TOOK TO DEALER, WHO READ CODE AND REPROGRAMMED. *TR

3.0L ENGINE STALLING OUT. HAD TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY FOR $355.78. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND THE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THREE LANES SO IT PROVED DIFFICULT TO GET TO THE RIGHT BREAK DOWN LANE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND AFTER ABOUT TEN SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND RETURN TO THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT A HALF A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE AGAIN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN THAT DAY. I HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT LATER THAT AFTERNOON AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE CAR WAS 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOT FEEL THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST IN DECEMBER AND EACH TIME I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO DONE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR ON 1/24/10. BEGINNING IN APRIL/MAY OF 2011 MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. AT FIRST IT WOULD HAPPEN AT STOPLIGHTS. I BEGAN TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO CAPTURE AN ERROR CODE OR REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY SENT ME AWAY. IT THEN ESCALATED TO STALLING UPHILL GOING 35 MPH ON A CURVY ONE LANE ROAD. AGAIN, BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME RESULT, NO ERROR CODE COULDN'T REPLICATE, SO NO FIX. AT THIS TIME I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE ONLINE ONLY TO FIND NUMEROUS FORUMS OF OTHER 2010 FORD FUSION (SPORT AWD) OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SPONTANEOUS STALLING ISSUES. AGAIN, FORD SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX BECAUSE NO ERROR AND COULDN'T REPLICATE. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CURRENTLY AT DEALER NOW FOR THREE WEEKS). THIS STALLING ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AT STOPLIGHTS, GOING 35 MPH UPHILL AND 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THERE IS NO WARNING EXCEPT THE CAR WILL JERK THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WHILE AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S BEEN CLOSE SOMETIMES. IN DECEMBER 2012 I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY TO REQUEST A REPURCHASE OR REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED ENOUGH DURING A SET PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE EXPRESSED REPEATEDLY TO THEM MY CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BUT OF OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD AND ALL THOSE OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH FORD'S LACK OF CONCERN AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, IT'S UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE. THIS IS SERIOUS AND SOMEONE, SOMEDAY WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHETHER MINOR OR MAJOR. THE ISSUE IS IT CAN BE AVOIDED IF FORD WOULD ONLY STEP UP, OWN THE ISSUE AND PLACE THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY FIRST OVER PROFIT AND PROTECTING THEIR REPUTATION. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 -60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THEN STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS LATER CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

FORD FUSION 2012 3.0L V6 SEL GOES INTO "LIMP-MODE" WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A SLIGHT SHUDDER IMMEDIATELY BEFORE TRIPPING THE "LIMP-MODE" WHERE THE ACCELERATOR BECOMES DISABLED. 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. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND CREATES A HAZARDOUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. *TR

WHILE STARTING A LEFT TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION CAR LOST ABILITY TO GO MORE THAN 2-5 MPH. AFTER MANAGING TO COAST DOWN SMALL HILL. CAR HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN. DID SIMILAR LOSS SPEED, TWICE IN SAME DAY. SUSPECTED PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS ON BACK ORDER!!!! *TR

I LEFT MY HOUSE TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO MY TRIP MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, MID-DRIVING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN GOING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH AND IT JUST DIED. THE BATTERY LIGHT, OIL DRIP CONTAINER AND THE BRIGHT ORANGE WRENCH CAME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE THE CAR. MY A/C WENT WARM AND MY GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKED. I MANAGED TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN I HAD TO CALL FOR SOMEONE TO COME GET ME SO I COULD BE AT MY SONS SCHOOL ON TIME. HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK ALL THE WAY AND WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS AND DANGERS WITH DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY DECIDES TO SHUT ITSELF OFF WHEN YOUR DRIVING FOR THIS TO BE ALLOWED TO GO ON. I AM WORRIED TO DEATH THAT I MIGHT GET RUN OVER/HIT FROM BEHIND THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT MY CHILDREN AREN'T INJURED AS A RESULT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FUSION DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE RPM'S INCREASED WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING A MINUTE, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE WITH NO ISSUES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER. AFTER RUNNING A GOOGLE SEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER FUSION OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE FORD IS ABLE TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

WHLE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION, THE CAR WILL JUST STALL AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, I WILL TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT WILL RESTART, THIS HAPPENS CONSISTANTLY SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS 4 TIMES A DAY, THIS IS DEFINITIELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ONE TIME WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

ON 8/19/12, WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-96 IN THE LEFT LANE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I COULD BARELY DRIVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE MOTOR SPUTTERED AND SEEMINGLY TRY TO DIE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, CALLED FOR HELP, WHEN HELP ARRIVED, THE TECHNICIAN ASKED ME TO START THE CAR. IT STARTED. MY WIFE AND I WERE ABLE TO GET HOME. ON 8/20/12, I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER TO GET THE MATTER CHECKED AS WELL AS GET AN OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER "SCOPED" THE COMPUTER AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS EVENING, 8/20/12, I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THERE WAS A LURCH AND I LOST POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WAITED A FEW SECONDS, AND TURNED ON THE MOTOR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I'VE CHECKED A WEBSITE THAT INDICATES THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS I EXPERIENCED. I WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK AGAIN BUT BASED UPON WHAT I READ ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS, I DOUBT IF THE DEALER WILL FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND LOSING TOTAL POWER. HAD WE NOT BEEN DRIVING ON A SUNDAY WHEN TRAFFIC WAS RELATIVELY LIGHT, WE WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

RETURNING TO TN FROM VACATION IN FL ON 7/15/12. TRAVELING BEFORE BIRMINGHAM, AL - HEARD A LOUD BOOM SOUND (LIKE A TIRE BLOW OUT), THEN HEARD A ROAR. AS WE SIGNALED TO MOVE FROM THE FAST LANE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE - FLAMES WERE OVER THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CAR. BY THE TIME THAT WE REACHED THE EMERGENCY LANE, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE CAR WAS ENTIRELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 10 TO 20 SECONDS. I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR FROM MOSS MOTOR COMPANY IN SOUTH PITTSBURGH, TN ON 6/4/12. THE CAR HAD ISSUES WITHIN TWO WEEKS THAT REQUIRED THE CAR TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER FOR POWERTRAIN ISSUE. DEALER DID NOT SHARE THE TICKET WITH ME ON REPAIRS THAT WERE COMPLETED TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE CAR EXPLODED. BUT THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR OVER ONE WEEK TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED IT TO STOP PULLING WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS THE FIRST LONG TRIP THAT I HAD TAKEN IN THE CAR. MY TWO PASSENGERS EXPERIENCED MILD BURNS BUT WE LOST ALL PERSONAL ITEMS IN THE CAR DUE TO THE SPEED THAT THE CAR BURNED. ALABAMA HIGHWAY PATROL WORKED THE EXPLOSION AND FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO WORK THE FIRE. STATE FARM ASSURED ME THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE BUT HAS JUST INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT DO A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. I HAVE WITNESS NAMES AND CONTACT INFORMATION AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THEY TOOK AS THE CAR BURNED IF NEEDED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE CUT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL IN TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR #2. SAME ISSUE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES LATER THEN AGAIN 10000 MILES LATER. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION HAS PINHOLE IN EVAPORATOR CORE/VALVE. THE CHEAPEST ESTIMATE IS OVER $900.00 AND THIS CAR IS 3 YRS OLD WITH 65,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE.

THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. UPDATED 10/10/12 *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 21,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH MY CAR CUTS OFF. I MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT RESTARTS. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE NEXT MORNING IT DOES THE SAME THING. WHEN IT LOOSES POWER THE WRENCH LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND IT SAYS SERVICE ADVANCETRAC IN THE SERVICE BAR ON THE DASH PANEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED FOR THEM TO GO BY. THEY MADE ME A NEW KEY AND STATED THEY THOUGHT IT WAS MY KEY GOING BAD. I AM SURE THAT IT IS SOMETHING MORE AS IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN EVEN WITH THE NEW KEY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES ON THESE CARS. IT IS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN THE CAR LOSES POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY. I HONESTLY HOPE FORD INVESTIGATES THIS AND FIXES THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE LUG NUTS AND WHEEL STUDS SNAPPING OFF. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT BUT I WAS TOLD MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES? THIS IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE EVER OWNED AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. NOT JUST THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE TECH'S AT THE SHOPS DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, AND FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS!! *TR

WITH NO WARNING OR OTHER SIGNS, THE CAR STALLED OUT. DRIVING ON A FLAT /STRAIGHT ROAD. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITHOUT ISSUE. 3HRS LATER THE SAME ISSUE. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A RE-OCCURRING THEME FOR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODIES OF THE FORD FUSION. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION/JUST BOUGHT IT IN FEBRUARY 2012. THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD. I WAS GOING TO WORK ON I-40 AND WAS SETTING THE CRUISE AT APPROX. 60-62 MPH AND ALL THE SUDDEN IT JERKED A LITTLE AND STALLED/WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE SPEED KEPT DROPPING....I HAD TO CROSS OVER THREE VERY BUSY LANES OF EARLY MORNING COMMUTER TRAFFIC AND WAS SCARED SOMEONE WOULD HIT ME BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND RE START. DROVE OFF TO WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS THAT DAY. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I SEE WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FUSION AND HAVE FEARED FOR THEIR SAFETY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. MECHANICS HAVE SAID IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT FORD HAS HAD TO REPLACE NUMEROUS OF THESE. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT IF NOT KILLED. THANK YOU! *TR

I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. MY 2010 FUSION IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. IT HAS BEEN HESITATING LIKE THERE WAS WATER IN THE GAS. WE RULED THAT OUT. WE CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT WAS A LITTLE LOW SO WE ADDED SOME. A LITTLE BETTER BUT DID NOT FIX IT. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WHEN WE HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT WOULD NOT PULL ANYMORE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SITTING IDLE IT FINALLY LEVELED OUT AND LIGHT WENT OFF BUT STILL WAS HESITATING. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE. WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION WE LOCATED A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT OUR CAR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND CALLED US AND SAID IT REPORTED A MISFIRE CODE BUT THAT WAS ALL AND THAT WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS. SO WE PICKED OUR CAR UP AND DROVE IT BACK HOME TO OUR REGULAR DEALERSHIP. OUR DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR 1 DAY AND SAID THE SAME THING, MISFIRE CODE AND TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS AND SWAP THE COILS AROUND. SO WE DID. DIDN'T FIX IT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO OUR DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY KEPT IT FOR EXACTLY 2 WEEKS WITH NO RESULTS. SAID THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEM AND IF IT STARTED BACK TO BRING IT BACK. 2 HOURS LATER WE WERE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. THAT WAS 3 DAYS AGO AND STILL NO EXPLANATION. THEY ARE STUMPED!!! SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME? WITH A $400.00 NOTE ON A CAR THAT IS IN THE SHOP. FORD NEEDS TO ACCEPT SOME RESPONSIBILITY. IT'S NO COINCIDENCE EVERYONE IS HAVING PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ABNORMALLY BEFORE STALLING. THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS TRAVELING UPHILL ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS FAR AS I COULD TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WENT A LITTLE FURTHER AND STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. I WAS ON A BLIND CURVE ON A ROAD THAT IS NARROW AND TRAVELED FASTER THAN IT SHOULD BE FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE CAR TO AN AREA WHERE THE ROAD OPENS UP A LITTLE. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND SOMEONE CHOSE TO VANDALIZE IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO WAS A LITTLE RUDE WHEN I TALKED TO THEM. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING COVERED BY FORD. SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PART AND LABOR COST AND MY DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE VANDALIZATION. WITH SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ACCELERATED THROUGH THE LIGHT. UPON MAKING THE TURN, THE CAR STALLED (SHUDDERED, AND ALTHOUGH APPLYING THE GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED) AND THE 'WRENCH' ICON ILLUMINATED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (THANKFULLY THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC AT THIS TIME OF DAY), TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE, AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. THE AVERAGE SPEED FOR THAT DAY WAS 30MPH, THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL AREA. THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN (ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER) WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AGAIN, AND TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. THE STALLING HAS REOCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, EVEN WHEN SLOWING, BUT NOT STOPPING, AND ATTEMPTING TO RESUME SPEED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, THE THROTTLE SENSOR (ON ADVICE FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA), AND AFTER 1 MONTH OF THIS ISSUE REOCCURRING, HAD THE FORD DEALERSHIP 'FLASH' THE COMPUTER. THIS HAS STILL NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. TYPICALLY AFTER 2 DAYS OF RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE MECHANIC, THE SAME STALLING WITH THE WRENCH ICON OCCURS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! MANY VEHICLES ARE STALLING IN TRAFFIC, AND ACCIDENTS WILL OCCUR! *JS

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PUT ON THE GAS THE CAR JUMPED. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION BUT STILL HAD POWER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST STATED IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY GOING BAD. THE MECHANIC CLEANED THIS PART GOOD AND THE SENSORS. THE CAR HAS RUN FINE FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 06/11/12 THEN IT STARTED AGAIN IT HAS DONE IT FOUR TIMES SINCE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE USED HIGH TEST GAS IN IT. *TR

THE CAR WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST TWO TRIES AND I LET IT SIT A MOMENT AND IT STARTED ON THE THIRD TRY. *TT

THE CAR HAD RUN FINE ON MY WAY TO WORK AND LEAVING FOR LUNCH. IT WOULD NOT START WHEN I TRIED TO RETURN FROM LUNCH. SAME PROBLEM AS LAST MONTH, IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE THIRD TRY. *TT

DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A MULTI-LANE ROAD. THE LIGHT HAD JUST GONE YELLOW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE HICUPPED HARD AND I HAD NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL, PLUS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (WRENCH ICON) CAME ON. PUT ON MY SIGNAL AND PULLED INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE AS IT WAS EMPTY. I DIDN'T WANT TO BLOCK THE LEFT LANE, IT WAS THE START OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I CAME TO A STOP AND HAD NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT IN RESPONSE TO STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TRIED TO RESTART IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND THE CAR STARTED AND ACTED NORMAL. I STOPPED AT THE STORE ON THE WAY HOME, THEN ON THE WAY FROM THE STORE TO HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IN ORDER FOR IT TO START AGAIN. WHEN I GOT HOME I PUT A CODE READER ON THE VEHICLE, BUT IT SHOWED NO CODE. IT DID IT AGAIN ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME AFTER WORK. EACH TIME I HAVE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO START AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE AROUND ME. I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO FORD FOR SERVICING AND THEY SAY NO RECALLS ARE IN PLACE FOR THIS. I ENTER THE SYMPTOMS INTO THE SEARCH ENGINE OF THE INTERNET AND FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND DRIVERS OF THE SAME DEFECT. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT FIRST THEY HAVE TO RUN TESTS TO VERIFY THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE PROBLEM AND I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THAT, BECAUSE THE CODE RESETS EACH TIME. THE TOTAL BILL WILL BE $600 TO $700. THEY HAVE DEALT WITH IT BEFORE, BUT FORD HAS NOTHING IN PLACE TO ADDRESS IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE DON'T WAIT TIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED BEFORE THIS MATTER IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND PROPER MEASURES ARE TAKEN. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES THE ENGINE JUST DIES DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY - YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART. WE HAVE A FLEET OF THESE AND LOTS OF THEM HAVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP... *JS

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING , I STARTED SPEEDING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME, THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE AT LESS THAN 700 RPM), BUT ALL SYSTEMS WHERE STILL WORKING. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCED NO RESULTS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOP THE ENGINE, LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS, AND THEN RESTARTED IT. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, THE CAR STARTED UP AND RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE FUSION DID THE EXACT SAME THING, I HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE), THE REST OF THE SYSTEMS CONTINUED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, STOP THE CAR , AND THEN RESTART. THIS IS THIRD TIME I TAKE TO THE DEALER, AND STILL RECEIVED NOT DIAGNOSTIC. ACTUALLY THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE DEALER WORKSHOP (AUTOMOVILISTICA VERACRUZANA SA DE CV. AV LAFRAGUA 2100 TEL 011 52 229 9231920 VERACRUZ, MEXICO) . THE FIRST AND SECOND VISIT TO THE DEALER THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS NO PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, WHEN CAR DECELERATED, AND STARTED TO STALL. A WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON, AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MAKE MY WAY TO A DRIVEWAY OFF OF THE MAIN HIGHWAY. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AND MAKING MY WAY HOME. I PLAN TO TAKE TO FORD DEALER TOMORROW. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS, BASED ON MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS, THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL/REPLACE THIS PART. MY 19-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR, AND SAFETY IS A MAJOR ISSUE! *TR

2010 FORD FUSION: WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET THE CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED. TACHOMETER DROPPED TO 1000 RPMS AND FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 500 - 1000 RPMS. WRENCH LIGHT (THROTTLE / TRANSMISSION) ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR COASTED TO A CRAWL AT LESS THAN 5MPH. THE CAR'S THROTTLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I BECAME A SERIOUS REAR-END HAZARD IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED IT AND THE CAR RAN FINE. I AM JUST BARELY UNDER WARRANTY (AND JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 1 WEEK AGO) SO I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER - THEY "CHECKED" THE CAR AND FOUND "NOTHING WRONG" WITH THEIR COMPUTER SCAN AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ERROR CODE - SO THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THE DAY AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, TWICE. THIS TIME IT DID IT AFTER A COLD START IN THE MORNING AND AGAIN WHEN I LEFT WORK IN THE AFTERNOON - AGAIN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND SHUT OFF ONCE I RESTARTED THE CAR. BRINGING THE CAR IN TOMORROW AGAIN...WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. WHAT A SAFETY RISK - MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE CAR! *TR

2010 FORD FUSION CAR STALLED AND ENGINE SHUT OFF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC 2 MTHS AGO. HAD TO PULL OVER. CRANKED IT WAS FINE. DAYS LATER, ENGINE BEGINS TO CRANK EVERY FEW DAYS, SLOW AT FIRST BUT WILL START. BEEN GOING ON SINCE. 3 WKS TODAY, CAR POWERS DOWN WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THIS MORNING ON MAIN INT. HWY.THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDDLE. HAD TO "COAST" TO ER LANE. CAR WAS RUNNING, BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN STOPPED, TURNED CAR OFF. RECRANKED ENGINE. WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF, AND DROVE TO WORK FINE. TOOK TO DEALER TODAY. WHILE EXPLAINING THE ISSUE, AN EMPLOYEE OVERHEARD AND SAID "DO YOU DRIVE A FUSION?" I SAID YES, HE SAID ITS YOUR THROTTLE BODY. HE SAYS THIS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR! CONFIRMED IT WAS THROTTLE BODY PART AFTER INSPECTION. PART WAS NOT IN STOCK. TOLD I COULD DRIVE CAR HOME. THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART COMES IN. DEALER CALLED THIS EVENING AND SAID MY MANF. WARRANTY WAS PAST TIME, AND ADDITIONAL WARRANTY TECH WOULD NOT COVER THROTTLE BODY PART. PART EXPENSE $261 PLUS TAXES AND 30 MINUTES LABOR TIME TO INSTALL. I'M DISTURBED TO KNOW FORD IS AWARE AND OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR KNOWING IT STALLED AT 65 MILES AN HOUR!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO PULL THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD AND MAKE THE REPAIRS TO THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER OWNED AN AMERICAN MADE CAR. THIS IS MY FIRST ONE. SOME FIRST IMPRESSION. I WILL BE TRADING THIS CAR AS SOON AS I CAN. I AM JUST SO DISAPPOINTED IN FORD CLAIMING THE "BUILT FORD TOUGH" MOTTO. THIS ISN'T TOUGH, ITS DANGEROUS! I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE BEING LESS THAN 2YRS OLD, A PART ALREADY HAS TO BE REPLACED? SERIOUSLY?? FORD SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR COMPLAINTS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL??????????? MINE MAKES NUMBER 320........ A RECALL SHOULD BE AFTER 2 PEOPLE ARE CLAIMING THE SAME THING. *JS

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH CAR STARTED TO RUN ROUGH THEN LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE CAR STOP RUNNING THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN LANE. TURNED ENGINE OFF WAITED A MINUTE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR IT WAS STILL RUNNING ROUGH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ALSO WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SHUT CAR OFF WAITED A COUPLE OF MORE MINUTES CAR STARTED AND ACCELERATED BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR LOST POWER BUT WHEN I CALL SERVICE THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING JUST A COMPUTER GLITCH. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR LOST POWER I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON WITH NO PROBLEMS. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE 2010 FORD FUSION SLIPS AND RESULTED IN MY INABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING OVER THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE IN NEW YORK CITY. THE DEALER, VAN BORTEL IN ROCHESTER, NY, HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A TRANSMISSION RE-BUILD AND TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES FOR A SEAL THAT LEAKED TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS PURSUANT TO A PROGRAM FIX FROM FORD (THE VAN BORTEL SHOULD HAVE PERFORMED, BUT DID NOT). THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED BY THE 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON THE BRIDGE! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR THEN A SEMI TRUCK BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. MY CAR HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. AFTER HAVING MY CAR LOOKED AT IT, IT WAS DIAGNOSED TO HAVE A BAD THROTTLE BODY. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND ITS A COMMON THONG WITH 2010 FORD FUSIONS, BUT FOR SOME REASON FORD WON'T EITHER FIND A WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY SEEM TO HAVE THROTTLE BODIES THAT ARE MALFUNCTIONING AND PUTTING THEIR DRIVERS LIVES IN DANGER. THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW IT COST ABOUT $500 TO GET IT FIXED IF YOUR VEHICLE ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ACCELERATING, WHEN THE CAR JERKED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 1 MPH. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE FINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP A FEW MINUTES LATER AND IT WAS RUNNING OK. THE LIGHT WENT OFF ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT GET ANY CODES OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED CHANGING THE THROTTLE BODY, BECAUSE THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE ON OTHER FUSIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 54,000.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK WHEN DRIVING OR BETWEEN AUTOMATIC SHIFTING. SPECIFICALLY WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO THIRD, IT JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. THE ENGINE AND MAINTENANCE LIGHT WILL COME ON AS THE VEHICLE STALLS. THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO MOVE AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO THE VEHICLE DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. *TR

WHILE EXITING FROM THE EXPRESSWAY ON THE EXIT RAMP THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THIS WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO TRY TO GET THE CAR STOPPED, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN TO GET IT RESTARTED. WILL TAKE IT TO BE EVALUATED TOMORROW MORNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND FAIL TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE MAINTENANCE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY FAILED AFTER 70,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT SPEED, HAVE TO BE PULLED OVER, STOPPED, ENGINE TURNED OFF AND COMPLETELY RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENCES OF THIS NATURE, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, THAT BEING THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. *TR

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT TURNING INTO A MARKED PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR MOVED FORWARD ABRUPTLY. THE ENGINE ROARED AS THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD, THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND MOVED FORWARD STRIKING A COLUMN SUPPORTING THE FRONT CORNER OF AN OFFICE BUILDING. THE COLUMN FELL FORWARD COMING TO REST ON MY CAR, INCHES ABOVE MY HEAD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST REALIZED WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE, BUT THE BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT. THE COST OF REPAIRS TO MY CAR WAS OVER $3000.00, PLUS THE COST TO REPAIR THE BUILDING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT NEW. THE DEALER'S EMPLOYEES STATED THAT THE COMPUTER DISCLOSED NO PROBLEM. THEY CONTACTED FORD ENGINEERS WHO ORDERED THE DEALER NOT TO ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. FORD CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM EVER OCCURRING. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION S, I WAS DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I DIDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR LIKE FIVE DAYS AND THE CAR WAS FINE BUT IT STARTED BACK UP IN JANURARY AND AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. IT HAS A CODE OF P211 WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND MULTIPLE FORD FUSION'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM. FOR SOME REASON FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID HEARING THE ISSUE ON THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES. IT IS A SAFTEY ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE AT 60-70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN YOUR CAR NO LONGER HAS A THROTTLE RESPONSE. YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SHUT YOUR CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM IT JUST DOES IT ALL OVER AGAIN WITHIN THE NEXT MILE OR TWO. FORD SHOULD REALIZE THE ISSUE AND MAKE A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE ARE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES THAT ARE PAYING BETWEEN $400-$600 OUT OF THEIR POCKET IF THEIR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX A COMMON PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH FORD FUSIONS. *TR

FIRST HAPPENED SETTING AT A RED LIGHT, LIGHT CHANGED I TOOK OFF AND CAR STALLED IN INTERSECTION AND LUCKY I WAS MOVING FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND OFF THE ROAD. SECOND TIME I WAS GOING 60MPH DOWN ROAD AND CAR STALLED LOSING POWER AND THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STEER PROPERLY. CAR STALLS AND WHEN RESTARTED ITS RPMS ARE VERY RANDOM, UP AND DOWN , CAR SHAKES ETC. THEN STALLS AGAIN. TOOK TO FORD AND THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING, AND I HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON ONLINE FORUMS... *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED MY FORD FUSION IN 2010, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. NOT ONLY MECHANICAL BUT, ALSO WITH THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ALL THE TIME. ADDITIONALLY, IT SHAKES AND JERKS. THE DEALERSHIP INITIALLY WAS RESPONSIVE TO MY CALLS AND CONCERNS. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES, TO INCLUDE TODAY ? ALL FOR THE SAME THING AS LISTED ABOVE. EACH TIME, I WAS TOLD THEY HAD FIXED THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION, THEY SAID THEY WOULD WASH/FILL UP THE GAS TO WHERE I LEFT IT. THIS WAS DONE CORRECT ONCE. AT ONE POINT, MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH. THEY DECIDED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ? WHICH THEY WOULD DO FREE OF CHARGE. ON THE DAY THIS REPAIR WAS TO BE MADE, THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND RENEGED ON THAT COMMITMENT - CLAIMING THEY HAD FOUND THE REAL ISSUE WHICH, AS IT TURNS, OUT THEY DID NOT. WHEN I HAD COME TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, I FOUND A PACK OF CIGARETTES IN MY MIDDLE CONSOLE ALL HALF SMOKED. OBVIOUSLY, SOMEONE WAS SMOKING IN MY CAR WHICH SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. *TR SINCE I WAS GETTING NOWHERE, THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED I FILE A CLAIM WITH THE FORD REPLACEMENT CAR PROGRAM. I WAS TOLD BY DJ, KOON? SALES MANAGER, THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS SHOULD TAKE ONLY A WEEK. HE EVEN SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD NOT MAKE ANOTHER PAYMENT ON MY VEHICLE. I STARTED THIS CLAIM PROCESS ON DECEMBER 1, 2011. I WAS FINALLY SENT A BREAKDOWN WORKSHEET FROM CORPORATE, IN PARTICULAR, JEFF TERRELL, ON FEBRUARY 3, 2012. HE STATED I WOULD NEED TO PAY NEARLY $6,000 UP FRONT FOR THE USED MILES ON MY CAR. ALSO, HE SAID IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SET ME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OUT ANOTHER LOAN. I WROTE HIM BACK IMMEDIATELY ON FEBRUARY 3, 2012 AND AGAIN TODAY, FEBRUARY 7, ASKING HOW HE CAME TO THAT AMOUNT. I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM HIM. *TR

I HAVE A FORD FUSION WITH ABOUT 30000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED A HARD SHIFT AT 10K MILES AND THOUGHT MAYBE ITS JUST A SIMPLE FIX. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR SAID THAT THIS TRANSMISSION ADAPTS TO THE OWNERS DRIVING HABITS. WELL 3K MILES LATER ITS WORSE SO I TAKE IT BACK AND THE TECH SAID ALL THE CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED AND TWO OTHER THINGS WERE DONE! I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOUR MORE TIMES AND HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED. IT APPEARS THAT FORD ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A TRANSMISSION CODE THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AND I AM LEFT WITH A VEHICLE THAT ALSO HAD A WINDOW MOTOR REPLACED, SOME PULLEYS THAT WERE MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE, AND A BATTERY AND TAILLIGHT THAT WENT OUT CHANGED. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS A LEMON, BUT I SMELL DISASTER IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS! WISH FORD WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BY ITS PRODUCT. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT SOON AFTER STARTING AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE FUSION SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH, AND THE IDLE IS VERY ROUGH. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION POSSIBLE. WE HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS SEEMS TO RESET THE PROBLEM AND THINGS GET BACK TO NORMAL. WE'VE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT TWICE NOW. THEY SUSPECT A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY FOR US, WE ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING AND A BIT DANGEROUS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 60 MPH AND IT HAPPENED. I HAD TO COAST TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHILE MULTIPLE CARS PASSED ME AND SWERVED AROUND ME. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED YESTERDAY THREE TIMES IN ONE 30 MINUTE PERIOD. THE DEALER SAID THAT FORD HAS GIVEN THEM NO HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. WE ALMOST BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY INSTEAD OF THE FUSION. I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT. *TR

BOUGHT MY FUSION IN APRIL 2011. BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, UPON ACCELERATING THE CAR WOULD LURCH TERRIBLY AND HESITATE. FIRST THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEN THEY DECIDED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. PUT NEW TRANSMISSION IN. KEPT HAPPENING. FINALLY, IT HAPPENED WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT. SAID FORD WOULD PUT NEW COMPUTER IN THE CAR. SIX WEEKS LATER SINCE WE HEARD NOTHING BACK, TOOK THE CAR TO THE SALES REP AND HE SAID DON'T COME GET IT UNTIL WE FIX IT. TODAY MY HUSBAND IS BACK AT THE DEALER TO GET ME ANOTHER CAR. THEY ACT LIKE I AM IMAGINING ALL THIS. I AM READY FOR AN ARBITRATOR!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 69 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR JUST LOST POWER. I FIRST NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, THEN SAW THE ANTI THEFT LIGHT ILLUMINATE. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, BUT GOT NOTHING. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE PASSING LANE, INTO THE RIGHT LANE, AND EVENTUALLY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY TRAGEDY. ONCE ALONG THE ROADSIDE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO SHUT OFF MODE. I THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, CAR STARTED UP FINE. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC, HIS CODE READER FOUND NOTHING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM, THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT IS NOW AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT MY GUESS IS THEY WILL FIND NOTHING. I AM ON THE ROAD AT LEAST 4 OUT OF 5 DAYS A WEEK ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. I CANNOT AFFORD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE THROTTLE BODY FAILS PUTTING THE CAR INTO "LIMP MODE". ACCELERATION IS IMPOSSIBLE AND THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER A SINGLE SEARCH ONLINE FOR "FORD FUSION THROTTLE BODY" NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF SIMILAR FAILURES APPEAR BEGINNING IN APPROXIMATELY 2005. THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BUT MAINTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS OCCURRED TO ME WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS MAINTAIN A STOCK OF THROTTLE BODY UNITS TO REPLACE. THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT VERY HIGH BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF STALLING OUT AND LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *KB

TRANSMISSION KEEPS ON LURCHING FORWARD AND DEALERSHIP CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AS I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE STREET DUE TO HUGE JUMP. TRANSMISSION KEEPS ON ACTING UP AND DEALER KEEPS SAYING EVERYTHING IS FINE AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE OTHER SINCE THE TIME THEY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE. *TR *KB

I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO IDLE HARD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE TURN LANE TO AVOID BEING HIT. WHEN ALL POWER WAS LOST AND THE CAR DIED THE WRENCH LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR DID NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING ANY GAS. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND SITTING A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTED BACK AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A PARKING LOT. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE AS I HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY BEFORE THIS. MY HUSBAND FOLLOWED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $465.00 WHICH I JUST CONSIDERED ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAPPENS UNTIL I DISCOVERED THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. FOUR DAYS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT THE NEXT DAY AND STATED ALL THE WIRING. I WILL SAY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THEY WERE ON THE PHONE WITH FORD THAT DAY AND FOUND NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS, BUT DID STATE THAT IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WOULD BE REPLACED. OF COURSE MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF AND WHEN MIGHT THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, HOPEFULLY NOT ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE ENJOYED MY FUSION BUT FORD SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBLILTY FOR THIS BEFORE A DEADLY SITUTAION HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STALLING RECURRED TWICE AFTERWARD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND AFTER A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC TEST THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT A CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COIL WIRE TO THE CYLINDER BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,586.

I OWN A V6 2010 FORD FUSION AND ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 65 MPH THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARMING. AT THE TIME THE ENGINE STALLS, A SERVICE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE CAR COULD BE RESTARTED, AND THE SERVICE LIGHT DISAPPEARED UPON RESTART. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BOTH INCIDENTS, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A FIX AS THE SERVICE CODE IS NOT BEING STORED IN EVENTS OF ENGINE FAILURE (AND THE LIGHT IS NOT STAYING ON AFTER RESTART). THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE TRAVELING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE SEEN ENTRIES FROM OTHER OWNERS ON BOTH THE NHTSA SITE AND OTHER BLOGS SITTING THE SAME PROBLEM, YET FORD IS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM AND IS NOT WORKING TO FIND A SOLUTION. WE HAVE ESCALATED FROM THE DEALERSHIP UP TO THE CORPORATE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH NO SUCCESS. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, IT TURNED GREEN AND STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ROUGH IDLE, THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIT UP AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. THERE WAS MINIMAL RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC TO A SAFE SPOT. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE TACHOMETER WAS FLUCTUATING MAINLY DOWNWARD AS IT IDLED ROUGH. AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. I MADE A FEW PHONE CALLS AND WHILE CALLING ROADSIDE ASSIST DECIDED TO TRY AND START THE CAR. IT STARTED AND I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE. THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO SUGGEST REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. IT COST ME $512.38. NEEDLESSTO SAY I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE OCCURRED IN A MORE DYNAMIC SETTING, HEAVY TRAFFIC, LANE CHANGE OR MERGING, ETC, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THREAT TO MY LIFE AND THAT OF OTHERS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND STALLED OUT. LUCKILY I WASN'T IN FRONT OF A TRUCK OR ON THE FREEWAY. VERY SCARY MY CAR ONLY HAS 15391 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR WAS ALSO LEAKING OIL. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T SHOW UP AT FIRST SO THE SERVICE PERSON KEPT THE CAR LONGER AND FINALLY IT DID THE SAME THING AND LOST ALL POWER SO THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED THE THE GASKET THAT WAS LEAKING OIL. ALSO A FEW MONTHS EARLIER ONE OF THE COILS WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TT

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY 2010 FUSION (35,265 MI) LOST ACCELERATION. JERKED CAR INTO THE MEDIAN AND PUT INTO PARK, IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN IDLING VERY ROUGH AND ALMOST SPUTTERING TO CUT OFF. THE WRENCH LIGHT DISPLAYED. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND THEN CUT THE CAR BACK ON. I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CARS RPM SHOT UP TO OVER 5000 RPM. IT THEN IDLED NORMALLY AND I MERGED BACK IN TRAFFIC JUST HOPING TO GET IT TO MY OFFICE. I MADE IT ANOTHER 2-3 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIT UP. I IMMEDIATELY CUT IT OFF, RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED FINE. I DECIDED TO GET OFF AT THE EXIT I WAS CLOSE TOO AND PARK THE CAR AS I KNEW I WAS GOING TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF I DID NOT GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I CAME TO THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP AND SAT IN TRAFFIC FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR SEEMED OKAY, NO ROUGH IDLE NOTHING STRANGE EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL DISPLAYED. I MERGED INTO TRAFFIC OFF THE RAMP AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SAME THING OCCURRED, NO ACCELERATION, I HAD MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN GOT A LOANER TO DRIVE INTO WORK. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CALLED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND SAID THE CAR IS FIXED AND I CAN COME GET IT. THEY SAID THEIR WAS AN ISSUE IN MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I LOVE THIS CAR BUT AT 35,000 MILES I SHOULD NOT HAVE ALREADY HAD A BAD BATTERY AND NOW THIS ISSUE. I AM STARTING TO NOT TRUST THE CAR. I HOPE THE ISSUE IS FIXED, BUT I AM ALMOST SCARED TO GO PICK IT UP TONIGHT. I HAD NO IDEA OF THESE ISSUES UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AFTER THE THIS MORNING. *KB

VEHICLE SLIPS/HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES WERE FOUND 'BURNT' AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PROBLEM PERSISTS AND NOW I AM TOLD THIS IS 'NORMAL' OPERATION. IN ADDITION, MY WHEELS ARE NOW VIBRATING/WOBBLING. I WILL NEED ADDITIONAL SERVICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ENGINE EMISSION AND MECHANICAL ATTENTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010 FORD FUSION TRANSMISSIONS. I TOOK THE CAR IN ON 12/31/10 TO AUTOMAX FORD, KILLEEN, TX. THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND IT IS FINE. ON 3 AUGUST 2011 MY CAR FELT LIKE IT DID A DOWNSHIFT WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AT THIS POINT MY ACCELERATOR FAILS TO WORK. THE CAR IS NOT IN ANY GEAR AND EVEN WHEN I GIVE THE CAR GAS THE ENGINE WILL NOT REV. I THEN HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHILE IN PARK THE CAR IDLES REALLY HEAVY LIKE AND STUTTTERS TO KEEP GOING SO I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURN THE CAR BACK ON IT WILL TURN OVER ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. I HAVE TO DO THIS PROCESS EVERY TIME THE CAR DOES THIS WHICH HAS BEEN ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. THE INCIDENT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN REGULAR CITY DRIVING. I BELIEVE AUTOMAX FORD HAS FAILED TO DO THE INSPECTION RIGHT AND NOW THE RECALL LETTER IS EXPIRED AS OF APRIL 2011. I WAS ALSO DEPLOYED OVERSEAS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD OF EXPIRATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN JULY 2010, ALREADY I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFAC WARRANTY. THERE IS SLOTS IN THE GRILL OF THE CAR PRETTY BIG THEY TOLD ME A ROCK MUST OF WENT THRU THERE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND MADE THE HOLE IN THE RADIATOR MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY AND I PAID MY 300 DEDUCTIBLE . FOR A COUPLE WEEKS PRIOR TO THAT I HEARD A GURGLING SOUND UNDER THE DASH BOARD. GOOD THING I WENT TO THE DEALER THE DAY I DID BECAUSE THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. MY RADIATOR WAS BONE DRY AND THE NOISE UNDER THE DASH WAS REAL LOUD AT THIS POINT . WELL ANYWAY I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT I HEARD THE GURGLING SOUND STILL UNDER THE DASH {NEAR THE GLOVE COMP} I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID{THE GUY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS NORMAL AT FIRST UNTIL HE HEARD THE NOISE HIMSELF} WELL ANYWAY HE BROUGHT IT BACK INTO THE SERVICE DEPT QUIRK CHEVROLET IN QUINCY MASS AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. BUT WHAT I AM GETTING AT IS I THINK THERE IS A HUGE DEFECT IN THE SLATS IN THE GRILL THAT IT WOULD ALLOW ANYTHING IN TO HURT THE RADIATOR I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN MY LIFE AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. ALSO THE DOOR HANDLE IS FALLING OFF ALREADY ON THE DRIVERS] INSIDE] DOOR. *TR

THE AREA OF THE HEATER / DASHBOARD MAKES A GURGLE OR SLOSHING NOISE AT STARTUP AND UPON ACCELERATION. THERE IS CLEARLY AIR IN THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM THAT COULD BE DAMAGING INTERNAL PARTS. FORD DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2010 FORD FUSION SE I-4 IN OCTOBER, 2009. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND NOTICED A WATER-SLOSHING/WATERFALL SOUND (SIMILAR TO A DISHWASHER) COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AREA UPON START-UP AND LOW ACCELERATION IN COLD WEATHER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM TO PERFORM SERVICE. AFTER 5 VISITS AND NEARLY 1 YEAR LATER, THE ISSUE IS STILL REMAINING. FORD HAS ISSUED 2 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE ISSUE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE SOUND, BUT MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY OR DRIVE-ABILITY ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS AIR BUBBLES TRAPPED IN THE HEATER CORE, BUT DURING A SERVICE VISIT, NO AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE HEATER CORE SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION S. WE BOUGHT IT IN MAY AND IT HAVE A STARTING UP PROBLEM. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT (AFTER HOLDING THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS...AS IT SHOULD BE) , IT DOESN'T START AND THEN AFTER LETTING THE KEY "GO", THE CAR KEEPS TRYING TO START HIMSELF UP. THIS MAKES A WEIRD NOISE OFFCOURSE....AND THEN YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY TURN DOWN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION FOR IT TO STOP TRYING . THIS MORNING WAS THE FIFTH TIME ALREADY THIS HAPPENED. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO TRY 3 TIMES BEFORE FINALLY GETTING THE CAR TO START UP. THIS CAR WILL BE GOING TO THE SERVICE/REPAIR DEP. SOON AT THE DEALER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS OCCURS ALREADY , AND THE CAR IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD ! *TR

2010 FORD FUSION SEL 4 CYL AT . VEHICLE "DOWNSHIFTS" UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. I WAS PULLING MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE TO PARK IT. I HAD SLOWED MY CAR DOWN VERY SLOWLY BEFORE I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS "IDLING" INTO THE DRIVEWAY. ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE WALL AND 2 FEET FROM WHERE I USUALLY STOP, THE ACCELERATOR SLOWLY PULLED DOWN TOWARD THE FLOOR. IT TOOK ME ONE OR TWO SECONDS TO REALIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. DURING THAT TIME, MY CAR MOVED HEAD ON TOWARD THE GARAGE WALL. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED. THE CAR HAD ALREADY SLAMMED STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL OF MY GARAGE. MY TODDLER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR AND STARTED CRYING. I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I LOVED THAT CAR AND ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT IT WAS THE PERFECT CAR. NOW, I HAVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND TO MY HOUSE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND A PERSON COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BETWEEN MY CAR AND THAT GARAGE. I WAS GOING TO GO TO A POPULAR GROCERY STORE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DAY. BUT, I DECIDED NOT TO DO SO BECAUSE MY TODDLER WAS LOOKING SLEEPY. IF I HAD GONE TO THE STORE, I COULD HAVE RUN A SHOPPER OVER WITH MY OUT-OF-CONTROL CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. THEY DID NOT CALL ME BACK. *TR
