2010 FORD FUSION Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

2016 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HEAD GASKET AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED TWICE, THE POWER STEERING AND VARIOUS SENSORS WERE REPLACED TWICE AS WELL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE FAILURE. *JS

TRAVELING AT 55MPH I SUDDENLY LOST POWER IN ENGINE AND WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. MY ENGINE SLOWED TO A ROUGH IDLE. I SAFELY WAS ABLE TO PULL TO ROADSIDE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. 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...

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. AT THE TIME THE THROTTLE CUTTING OFF THERE WAS A YELLOW WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT LIGHT ON MY DASH. THIS MIMICS NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003, HOWEVER, THIS ACTION NUMBER DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER.

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 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

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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

THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT WORKS FOR A WHILE AND SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN. *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

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

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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

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...

COMING HOME FROM WORK MY CAR STARTED TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES KEEPING SPEED. SOON AFTER MY CAR LOST ENGINE POWER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ON MY WAY HOME WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THE REPORT I WAS GIVEN SAYS "CODE P2111 PRESENT" WHEN MEANS THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR. *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 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...

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

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. 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

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...

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...

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
