2010 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

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

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45MPH AND THE CAR STARTS VIBRATING. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE GAS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE THE CAR LOST MOMENTUM AND STALLED OUT. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. HAD NO WARNING AT ALL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT TURNED OVER BUT AFTER IT STRUGGLED TO. THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN WENT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR MORE TIMES! EACH WITH NO WARNING! I HAVE LOOKED ON A NUMBER OF SITED THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NEAR CRASH CASES AND ALL WITH NO WARNING. I LOVE HOW THIS WEBSITE SAYS "YOUR COMPLAINT INFORMATION WILL BE ENTERED INTO NHTSA-ODI'S VEHICLE OWNER'S COMPLAINT DATABASE AND USED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS TO DETERMINE IF A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT TREND EXISTS" AFTER NUMEROUS...

I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND NEWBORN CHILD HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION. IT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND I RESPONDED BY PULLING MY VEHICLE INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION 2 MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. THE WRENCH ICON CAME ON WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FORD MUST ADDRESS. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. *TR

MOVING ALONG AT 40MPH WHEN CAR SUDDENLY JERKS AND LOSES POWER. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON BUT MY CAR STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC. TURNED KEY OFF AND BACK ON-CAR STARTED AND LIGHT WAS OFF. A MINUTE DOWN THE ROAD AND CAR DID SAME THING AGAIN. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN 5 DAYS LATER. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE CAR LOSES THROTTLE POWER COMPLETELY. I DO NOT DARE GO DOWN INTERSTATE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

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 WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED BUT THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE. 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.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING. PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AVOIDING ACCIDENT. TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON WORKING NORMALLY. 1 MILE LATER SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED 12 TIMES IN 12 MILE STRETCH. THROTTLE BODY IS BAD. THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MOTOR CUT OFF ON ME, I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I HAD JUST GOT OFF OF THE INTERSTATE , I MANAGED TO BE ABLE TO PULL ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD SET THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER AND THEY CHECKED AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY FAULT CODES. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BOTTLE AND I HAD IT REPLACED, HAVEN'T DROVE IT YET TO SEE IF THAT TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SOME ON COULD GET INJURED OR WORST. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM'S IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO A ROUGH IDLE. ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE WAS LOST, I PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS IN LIMP MODE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING VERY ERRATICALLY AND SHAKING, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR, IT RESTARTED OK AND DROVE. IT SUDDENLY DID THE SAME THING 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THE OBD2 CODE WAS P2111, THE DRIVE BY WIRE THROTTLE BODIES ON THESE CARS ARE FAULTY. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HAD NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AFTER PUSHING THE GAS. LATER THAT AFTERNOON, WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY BUT STILL HESITATED TO GO WHEN THE GAS WAS PRESSED. I GOT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD - "A COMMON THING ON THESE CARS". FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY, CLAIMING THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN - THOUGH ADMITTING THAT THE CAR WILL NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE PART. *TR

ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM: THROTTLE PLATE STUCK OPEN - VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON FREEWAY WOULD NOT START ONLY AFTER 5 MIN WAIT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN 10 MIN LATER STOPPED AGAIN WAITED 5 MORE MIN NEXT MORNING CAR STARTED FINE THEN AFTER A FEW MINS OF DRIVING STOPPED AGAIN HAVING TROUBLE STAYING ON... *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION V6 SEL SURGED, SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND STALLED OUT. A LIGHT SHAPED LIKE WRENCH APPEARED. I PULLED OVER AND LET IT REST FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THEN TRIED TO START. IT STARTED UP AND I DROVE HOME. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND MANY, MANY OTHER FORD CUSTOMERS WITH MY YEAR VEHICLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERS WERE TELLING THEM IT'S A BAD THROTTLE BODY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE SPEED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND RESTART IT. THE NEXT DAY THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I READ THE CODE AND IT WAS P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK SHUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE APPARENTLY SOME KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS PART ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS TURNING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

ON 7/22/2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 HOURS MY FAMILY WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON GEORGIA STATE ROUTE 3 - US HWY. 41 IN ROCKY FACE, GEORGIA WHEN OUR VEHICLE (2010 FORD FUSION AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) SUDDENLY WITHOUT NOTICE WENT FROM A SOLID CRUISING SPEED OF 40MPH TO AN ABRUPT HALT - NOSE OF THE CAR ACTUALLY WENT FORWARD TOWARDS THE GROUND SO ABRUPTLY THAT IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE STALLED (STILL BARELY RUNNING) IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL AND WOULD NOT GET ANY THROTTLE ACCELERATION. MY FAMILY AND VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ON COMING MOTORISTS FROM THE REAR DUE TO THE ABRUPT STOPPING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY GET ANY THROTTLE ACCELERATION. AFTER THE GEORGIA STATE PATROL TROOPER CAME TO ASSIST THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 25 MPH WITHOUT SUDDENLY STALLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH AN ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO...

WAS DRIVING ON AT 65MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE DROPPED TO 750 RPM AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO MY ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE SLOWED QUITE RAPIDLY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A CRASH. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO IT HAPPENING AND NO SOUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENT. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING I KNOW THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, THE VEHICLE DROVE PROPERLY. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CHECKED FOR ANY CODES AND FOUND THERE WERE NONE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD "IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL; WE KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INCIDENTS LIKE THIS". THIS WAS REPORTED YESTERDAY IN ANOTHER INCIDENT BUT NOT...

THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IN THAT IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED WHETHER 15 MPH OR 70 MPH, WITH NO WARNING. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM ESPECIALLY TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE YOU CAN BE HIT FROM BEHIND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT WHEN DOING SO WILL CANCEL THE ENGINE SERVICE CODE P2111 SO THAT THE DEALER CANNOT ID THE PROBLEM. IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM, MAKE THEM KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO THE SERVICE PERSON. ISSUE IS DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY -POTENTIOMETER. THE COMPUTER CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH THE THROTTLE IS OPEN SO IT SHUT DOWN. MY TEENAGER WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND WAS ALMOST RE-ENDED TWICE. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE!!!!! *TR

DRIVING AT 65MPH IN TRAFFIC ON A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE WENT TO APPROXIMATELY 750 RPM AND THERE WAS NO SPEED CONTROL. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER CAR AND REQUIRED ME TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID COLLISION. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WAS THROTTLE BODY CONTROL UNIT AND THAT THERE ARE "KNOWN PROBLEMS". *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

WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT CAR SUDDENLY STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING. HAD TO PARK AND RESTART CAR TO REENGAGE ENGINE. WRENCH AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR STALLED OUT THREE MORE TIMES GOING AROUND THE BLOCK. DIAG CODE WAS P0455. DEALER INITIALLY REPLACED PURGE VALVE. ON WAY HOME FROM DEALERSHIP REPAIR, ENGINE CUT OUT GOING 70 ON HIGHWAY. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER. DIAG CODE WAS P2112. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. CAR SEEMS TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY NOW. THIS WAS A SCARY PROBLEM AND A HUGE POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE VEHICLE CUTS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR

I ACCELERATED AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT AND AS I SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR THE CAR JERKED AND I HAD NO POWER AT ALL THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT WHEN I PUT MY FOOT INTO THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO A WRENCH WAS DISPLAYED IN THE WARNING LIGHT AREA OF THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I SEE THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF 2010 FUSION OWNERS WITH SIMILAR MILEAGE AND IT CAN BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC! *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 60MPH IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE 2010 FORD FUSION LOST ACCELERATION. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO CHUG SO I PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE EXIT. IT WAS NOT A FULL SHOULDER AS THE CAR WAS STILL OCCUPYING HALF OF A LANE. A TEN-WHEELER TRUCK WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO STOP.THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. I HEARD A THUMP, THE WRENCH LITE CAME ON AND THEN I LOST ACCELERATION POWER. I HAD TO COAST OFF THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A STOP. I STILL HAD STEERING AND BRAKES BUT NO POWER. I HAD CAR TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I HAVE READ SO MANY OF THESE REPORTS AND I FEEL, LIKE THE OTHERS, THAT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED! FORD NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND MAKE THIS A RECALL. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO FIND SOME PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THEN RESTART THE ENGINE AND THEN IT WILL RUN GOOD. THE ISSUE HAPPENS SOMETIMES UP SIX TIMES IN ONE DAY, AND THEN YOU CAN GO A WEEK WITHOUT AN ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE WITH SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 70 MPH. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE IT WOULD APPEAR TO POSSIBLY BE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. APPARENTLY THIS THROTTLE BODY USES A SERVO TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE BUTTERFLY THAT ALLOWS AIR INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND IT LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND YOU CAN NOT FIND A SAFE PLACE...

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....

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLED OUT, WENT INTO SAFE MODE, AND HAD TO COAST OFF THE ROAD. HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN IT. AFTERWARDS THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. JUST PURCHASED A USED MERCURY MILAN WITH 31,600 MILES ON AND HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCUR. FORD EVIDENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WITH THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLIES ON THESE MODEL OF CARS THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR

I AND MY CHILDREN WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND I ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD NOT GIVE THE CAR ANY GAS. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE GAS. SO I COASTED UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. AS I SLOWED DOWN, THE CAR SHUTTERED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN FINE FOR AWHILE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN (AS I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, TURNING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND ROUNDING A CURVE) UNTIL IT WAS HAPPENING 3-4 TIMES IN A TRIP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. IT RAN OK FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEN BECAME WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. SO NOW TIME WILL TELL. I WAS/AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT...

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.

TODAY I WAS AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY CAR DECIDED TO ACT UP. THE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED GREEN AND I HAD STARTED TO DRIVE WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER. IT STRUGGLED THEN JUST STALLED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND I NOTICED THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE I WAS TRYING NOT TO DIE IN TRAFFIC I PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHERE I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION THEN BACK TO THE ON POSITION. LUCKILY MY CAR CAME BACK ON BUT IT WAS STILL STRUGGLING. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WHERE TURNED IT OFF AGAIN. I GAVE IT A FEW MINUTES TO RECOVER THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. EVERYTHING NOW APPEARED TO WORKING NORMAL. I OPENED THE HOOD TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING SEAMED OKAY (NOTHING BURNING, SMOKING, OR...

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...

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...

WHILE STOPPED WITH FOOT ON BREAK - THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV AND THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH FORWARD. I HAD TO KEEP PRESSING HARDER ON THE BRAKE I LOOKED DOWN TO BE SURE I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND I DID NOT. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION TO GET THE CAR TO STOP REVING UP AND LURCHING FORWARD. MY WIFE TOLD ME SHE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH THE ENGINE REVING UP WHEN SHE HAD THE CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL BUT IT ONLY LASTED A FEW MOMENTS, IN THAT INCIDENT SHE WAS GOING 60. ALSO, WE DO NOT HAVE THE FLOOR MATS THAT WE READ ABOUT IN OTHER POSTS ONLINE. *JS

THE FIRST TIME, THE CAR WAS PULLING ON TO A MAIN ROAD GOING UP TO 15 MPH WHILE TURNING RIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER, STALL (ONLY ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP), MANY WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDING THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND DINGED. AFTER SHUTTING THE KEY OFF AND WAITING UP TO A COUPLE OF MINUTES, ENGINE STARTED FINE AND DROVE NORMALLY. 1 MONTH LATER, THIS EXACT SCENARIO HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TURNING RIGHT FROM A COMPLETE STOP. 1 MONTH LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT WITH ONLY THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON (THE CAR WAS CURVING TO THE RIGHT AT ABOUT 40 MPH). 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD START UP, AND BE FINE UNTIL WE ACCELERATED. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR DID THE SAME THING A SECOND TIME. IT THEN DID IT A...

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

ON SATURDAY JUNE 16TH I WAS TRAVELING NORTH BOUND I-75 FROM ROCKCASTLE CO. KY TO MADISON CO KY WHICH IS ABOUT 45 MILES. WAS TRAVELING 65 MILES MPH AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A SEMI IN THE RIGHT LANE, WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH ONE SEMI IN BACK OF US. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE EMERGENCY SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SEMI IN BACK OF US LOCKED HIS BRAKE AND ALMOST HIT US. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE IN THE SLOW LANE AND IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. I THEN LEFT THE CAR AT MY MOTHER IN-LAW'S HOUSE AND BORROWED A CAR TO GET HOME IN AS I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND PUT MYSELF AT RISK PLUS SOMEONE'S LIFE AT RISK. ON MONDAY, 6-18-12 I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE...

I WAS JUST LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST GOT DOWN TO THE END OF THE ROAD, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I FEEL THIS REALLY BAD SHAKING, HAD NO ACCELERATION WHEN PRESSED ON GAS AND CAR KEPT JERKING UNTIL I FINALLY HAD TO SHUT IT OFF. I DID RESEARCH ON IT IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT HAS BECOME VERY RELEVANT WITH MY CAR MAKE/MODEL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! IF I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR GOD FORBID HAD KIDS IN THE CAR, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ADDRESSED FAST!!!! *TR

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...

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

ENGINE BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE MOVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR. ALSO SURGES FORWARD AND RUNS THRU MULTIPLE GEARS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH LIGHT, IF ANY THROTTLE APPLIED. ON 6-8-12 ENGINE WENT INTO FAILSAFE MODE, 1100 RPM WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. NO RESPONSE FROM THROTTLE, HAD TO MANIPULATE THRU TRAFFIC TO BEACH CAR UPON SHOULDER OF ROAD. AFTER SHUTTING OFF KEY AND RESTARTING, VEHICLE SEEMED FINE, BUT SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TWICE MORE WITHIN MINUTES. DROVE CAR TO NEAREST FORD DEALER WHO "CLEARED THE OLD CODES" AND TEST DROVE, FINDING NO FURTHER ISSUE. BILLED ME UNDER ESP SERVICE AGREEMENT, AND CONTINUED ONTO WORK. LEAVING WORK TO MAKE DELIVERIES, CAR INITIATED EXACTLY SAME RESPONSE AS EARLIER (5 TIMES), AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND AGAIN, HEAVY TRAFFIC. TOOK TO DEALER I BOUGHT CAR FROM, WHO IMMEDIATELY CLAIMED IT NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY, WHICH ARE ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER, DELIVERY DATE UNKNOWN....

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...

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STALLS AND WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATES. AT FIRST I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, BUT EVENTUALLY, THE CAR STOPPED FUNCTIONING ALTOGETHER. ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED AND THROTTLE BODY WAS THE CAUSE. HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER 2010 FUSION SELS. FORD UNWILLING TO REPLACE FAULTY MANUFACTURED PART. *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

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, 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 550 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 15 SECONDS, AND THEN RESTARTED IT. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, THE CAR STARTED UP AND RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. YESTERDAY (JUNE 1ST), THE FUSION DID THE EXACT SAME THING, EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION (APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR). 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....

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP ONTO A BUSY AVENUE WHEN THE "WRENCH LIGHT" ON THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER & COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN 1 MILE. DROVE TO THE HOME OF A FRIEND AND HAD HIM GO WITH ME TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. CAR SHOOK HARD AND NEARLY DIED WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM I FOUND IT TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND MANY TIMES AT 70 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC EVEN ON NEW CARS WITH AS FEW AS 1300 MILES ON THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES. IN MANY CASES RATHER THAN LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT SAFELY MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OUT AND BEGAN A ROUGH IDLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED IN. COASTED TO A STOP. TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT WERE NO LONGER LIT. STARTED TO ACCELERATE AWAY AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT ON. I WAS ABLE TO IDLE HOME. ONCE AT HOME I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT NOT THE WRENCH. WHILE IN PARK I WOULD REV THE ENGINE AND IT SOUNDED FINE AND COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE REVVING. I DIDN'T MOVE THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED. FORTUNATELY IT HAS ONLY 32707 MILES ON IT...

GOING ABOUT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE ON WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES ITS ACCELERATION COMPLETELY. I PULL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY TURN 1000 RPM. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER THAT AND IT'LL START DRIVING NORMALLY AGAIN. THE PROBLEMS SEEMS TO BE WITH A BAD THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY PART. CONTACTED FORD ABOUT SAFETY PROBLEM. MANY EXAMPLES ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE CONTACT WOULD WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED HER THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,241.

AT 2000 MILES HAD CAR BACK FOR BRAKES.ITS BEEN BACK 8 TIMES. THEY HAVE CUT THE ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS AND STILL JUMPS AFTER ABOUT 5000 MILES. VIBRATION IN CAR THAT THEY COULDNT FIND Y. REPLACED TROTTLE BODY . THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES THEY NEED TO FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. THEY HAVE CUT THE ROTORS DOWN TO THE POINT THEY REPLACED THEM AND THE ONES ON THE FRONT ARENT 6 MONTHS OLD AND THEY CUT THEM AGAIN. *TT

ON 5/12/12 COMING HOME FROM A SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT WITH THE CRUISE ON AT AROUND 65 MPH THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE. COASTED INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED. WHEN RESTARTING SEEMED HARD TO START...LIKE AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE. ARRIVED HOME SAFELY (WAS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED). ON 5/13/12 (SUNDAY) SAME ISSUE EXCEPT IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES DURING A 30 MILE TRIP. THE LAST TIME I HAD PULLED OVER AND PUT IT INTO PARK I WAS WORRIED IT WOULDN'T START...TURNED AND TURNED BUT SLOWLY...AGAIN SOUNDED LIKE AN ALTERNATOR. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL A FEW MONTHS BACK AND OF COURSE NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. SHORT STORY IS WHEN I HIT "RESUME" TO GET IT BACK TO THE SPEED IT WAS WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL THE RPM'S WILL RUN 5000-6000...
