2010 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

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...

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER TO SUPPLY THE PART TO THE DEALER TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE CRUISING ON THE FREEWAY. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. LOST CONTROL OF THROTTLE AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULDN'T REV UP OR ANYTHING. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT BACK UP AGAIN IT DROVE FINE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT DISAPPEARED.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER REFLASH NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITH THE DIAGNOSIS, BUT THE TECHNICIAN REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,363. UPDATED 1/15/16 *CN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A RED TRIANGLE LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS TO STOP SAFELY. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF. ONCE I STARTED IT BACK IT STARTS FINE BUT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF VERY FEW MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND PUTS MY FAMILIES LIVES AT RISK. NO LIGHTS ARE ON AFTER I TURN CAR BACK ON. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND CAN CAUSE MY FAMILY TO DIE IN A CAR CRASH. THANKFULLY THE HYBRID ENGINE STILL WORKS WHICH LETS ME SLOWLY PULL OVER BUT MY SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE GOES FROM 70 TO ABOUT 30 REALLY FAST AND PUTS US IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE HELP ME FIX.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AND THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AND WHILE GOING 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET IT IS TO RESTART THE CAR. IF THE CAR IS NOT RESTARTED, IT WILL SHAKE VIGOROUSLY AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL ON ITS OWN. ONCE RESTARTED, ACCELERATION IS RESTORED TO NORMAL UNTIL IT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN.

I WAS AFFECTED BY THE THROTTLE BODY THING. I GOT IT FIXED AT JIM CLICK FORD IN TUCSON. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING HEAVY ACCELERATION AND THROTTLE RESPONSE PROBLEMS SINCE. I HAD MY TRAMS FLUID LEAK FROM THE CAP. NO LEAKS IN ANY OF MY HOSES. MY RPMS STAY BETWEEN 1700-2700 REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. I TOOK IT BACK TO JIM CLICK, EVEN THO SHOWING NO ERRORS. AND IT'S ALWAYS WHINING, MY ENGINE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THIS, BUT I DEFINITELY TAKE CARE OF MY CAR. AND FUSIONS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS. AND PEOPLE TELL MY MY CAR MAKES REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING. I'VE NEVER HEARD IT OR FELT IT, BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHT AND STOP SIGNS ATTEMPTING TO TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD REV ITSELF CORRESPONDING WITH A RAPID INCREASE/DECREASE IN RPM. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR WOULD STUTTER AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE ALLOWING ME TO ENTER THE INTERSECTION RESULTING IN VERY CLOSE CALLS. THIS HAS BEEN RECURRING WITH MORE FREQUENCY.

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.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT APPROX 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE MADE A SLIGHT JERK, AND LOST PROPULSION. I HAD TO CROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC OFF TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. ONCE STOPPED AND IN PARK, THE ENGINE IDLED VERY ROUGHLY, SHAKING THE ENTIRE CAR. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE, AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. IT HAD TO CRANK FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OVER AND STARTING. IT THEN DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 10 MILES BEFORE QUITTING AGAIN. I AGAIN STOPPED, THEN RESTARTED THE CAR, AND LIMPED IT HOME ON SIDE ROADS, OFF THE FREEWAY. IT DID NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY, BUT MADE IT THE OTHER 15 MILES HOME WITHOUT QUITTING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO RESEARCHED AND FOUND A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, CAUSING...

I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUES PLAGUING FORDS. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT APPEARS. THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED AND DID NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH TEMPORARY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A GRADUALLY WORSENING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, JERKED, AND HESITATED BEFORE ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE VEHICLE SOON AND SECURITY LOCK WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,801.

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...

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

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.

WHILE DRIVING (8/8/15) ON I-65 AT APPROX. 75MPH, THE RPM'S DROPPED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE PEDAL. AFTER CAREFULLY MAKING OUR WAY TO THE SHOULDER, IT WAS NOTICED THAT CHARGING SYSTEM AND THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHTS HAD TURNED ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND UPON RESTARTING, EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE WORKING AS IT SHOULD. THE ABOVE WAS THE SECOND INSTANCE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. PREVIOUSLY (JUNE 2015), WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC AT APPROX. 30MPH, THE RPM'S DROPPED AND THE THROTTLE PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, FUNCTIONALITY RESUMED. OVER THE NEXT 15MILES BACK HOME, THIS OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES AT SPEED BETWEEN 25 ~ 55 MPH. AT ALL INSTANCES, THE THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON, BUT THEN TURNED OFF AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

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 BROUGHT CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE TEACH HAD ISSUES FIGURING OUT THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I WAS ABLE TO FIND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AND YEAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A YOU TUBE VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING AS WELL AS COMMENTS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE TECH HAD TO GET FORD ENGINEERS INVOLVED WHO ALSO HAD ISSUES FIGURING OUT THE PROBLEM. IT TOOK SIX WEEKS! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND...

NEARLY REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ACTIVATED 4 WAY FLASHERS AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OF HIGHWAY INTO SHOPPING AREA. ANY TYPE OF GAS PEDAL PRESSURE DID NOT HELP. LET CAR SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, RESTARTED ENGINE AND NO ISSUES WHILE SLOWLY DROVE AROUND PARKING LOT FOR A WHILE TO ENSURE NO ISSUES. DO HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY DEVICE REPLACED, BUT I CONSIDER THIS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WILL NOW TAKE TO DEALER AND DEMAND THIS BE REPLACED BEFORE ANY OTHER OCCURRENCES,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE SERVICE VEHICLE SOON WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

WELL JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR A MONTH AGO AND ALREADY IN THE SHOP. IT WAS JERKING AND LOSING ACCELERATION AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS ALSO IT SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SO I DID A VEHICLE REPORT ON THE CAR AND IT BROUGHT UP THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS. ALSO THE RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. SINCE I HAVE WARRENTY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY SAY IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. CHANGED IT. PICKED IT UP TODAY STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND LIGHT STILL ON. HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CAN CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY. CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE, THEY TELLING ME IT'S JUST SAYING I HAVE A WARRENTY. SO I HAD MY FIANCE CALL AND THEY SAID FOR US TO CALL IN THE MORNING. THEY GIVING ME...

I TAPPED THE GAS AFTER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN & THE CAR REVVED REALLY HIGH BUT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. THEN THE 2ND TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR REVVED REALLY HIGH AGAIN & AGAIN WENT REALLY SLOW, LIKE SOMETHING WASN'T CATCHING. I'M GLAD THE HIGHWAY WAS EMPTY BECAUSE I COULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH AND CAME UP BEHIND A TRUCK DOING ABOUT 50MPH. I CHANGED LANES AND WENT TO PASS THE TRUCK. AS I PASSED THE TRUCK MY CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY AND SEEMED TO NOT SWITCH GEARS AT THE RIGHT TIME, CAUSING A HARD SHIFT AND A "CHUG" FEEL. I PASSED THE TRUCK AND SLOWED DOWN TO 60MPH AND AS THE CAR SHIFTED AGAIN, IT CAUSED ANOTHER HARD SHIFT AND "CHUG" FEEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS. MINE DIDN'T START HAPPENING UNTIL AFTER THE PCM UPDATE RECALL THAT WAS DONE ON 2/26/15. I TOOK IT INTO FORD AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THERE IS NO WRENCH ON THE DASH AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A CODE, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED TO THEM. THIS IS...

CAR HAD SUDDEN DECELERATION, LOSS OF POWER, WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TRIED TO RESTART. CAR RESTARTED AND PARKED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. DID SOME RESEARCH TO FIND THAT NHTSB IS FAILING TO ISSUE RECALL BUT FORD HAS VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO FIX AND EXTEND WARRANTY. THE DEALER IS PLAYING DUMB ABOUT IT BEING THROTTLE BODY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED FREE UNDER FORD CSP# 13N03 AND HAD THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON 04/13/2015 I EXPERIENCED RAPID DECELERATION WHILE DRIVING HOME FORM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT ON 04/15/2015. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 04/16/2015 THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 04/17/2015. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES AND FAILED TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 04/18,4/19,4/21. I ORDERED THE PART MYSELF AND WILL DO THE REPAIRS MYSELF SINCE I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL A COMPLETE FAILURE HAPPENS. THAT WOULD INCREASE THE CHANCES OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN I FELT A REDUCTION IN POWER. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO MOVEMENT OF THE THROTTLE PEDAL. VEHICLE SPEED SLOWLY REDUCED AND WE BRAKED TO A STOP AT A JUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. THE VEHICLE HAD ALMOST ZERO POWER WHEN PULLING AWAY AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW FOLLOWING TRAFFIC TO PASS. SPEED INCREASED SLOWLY OVER 2 MILES OF DRIVING TO 40MPH. LACK OF POWER WAS AGAIN EXPERIENCED AT THE NEXT STOP JUNCTION. WE ARRIVED HOME 1 MILE LATER. IN MY OPINION THE LIMP HOME MODE IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE WERE ON LOCAL ROADS WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC AROUND. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A 3 WAY STOP. AS THE CAR STARTED MOVING I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR I WAS PARTIALLY IN A SOMEONE'S YARD WITH A CULVERT AND TELEPHONE OR ELECTRIC POLE ONLY 2 OR 3 FEET FROM ME. I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD GONE DEAD. I TRIED TO CRANK THE CAR ONLY TO REALIZE IT WAS STILL RUNNING. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND BACKED OUT. THAT WAS WHEN I REALIZED THE STEERING WAS THE PROBLEM. THE ADVANCE TRACK SYSTEM THEN CAME ON. AFTER READING THE MANUAL I WAS HOPING THAT IT WAS DUE TO US HAVING PUT NEW TIRES ON THE WEEK BEFORE. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC HE SAID THAT FORD WOULD NOT SELL THE PART AND WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS COSTING $1700...

FORD FUSION TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKS FROM LEFT SIDE HALF SHAFT AREA. HAD TRANSMISSION WORK DONE AT 30,000 FROM SCREWED UP TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD SEAL WAS TOO SMALL AND FORD NEW AND WOULD REPLACE IF THOSE AFFECTED BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS. NOW AT 70,000 MILES, LEAK AS LISTED ABOVE WITH TRANS SLIP AS SO MANY POSTED ON INTERNET AND GOING THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION. FORD WILL NOT REPAIR SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED THAT IT IS A RECALL ITEM. HOW MANY DO YOU NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE IT BECOMES A DANGER DRIVING AND TRANS SLIPS WHEN COLD AND HAVE TO KEEP FILING TRANS FLUID. I BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND STILL IN MY POSSESSION. CAR TAKEN WELL CARE OF IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR ENTERED "LIMP" MODE (WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT I COULD STILL STEER AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON) AND THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. I ALREADY HAD THE DEALERSHIP PERFORM THE THROTTLE FIX OF THE 2014 RECALL ON VARIOUS FORD MODELS OF 2009-2012. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 6/3/15*CN UPDATED 10/3/2017*CN

DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY MORE. SCARY FEELING WHEN YOUR CRUISING AT 55 AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT WOULD STILL IDLE BUT IT IDLED ROUGHLY. YOU COULD PUSH DOWN ON THE PEDAL BUT IT WOULD DO NOTHING. IT JUST LOST ALL POWER SO I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. GOOD THING NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME TO CLOSE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SENT OUT A TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME AND THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. TURNS OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR QUIT WORKING. *TR

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...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,219.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVS BUT ALL THE POWER IS GONE. THE ENGINE COULDN'T MAINTAIN A GEAR AND STARTED DECELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE THE LITTLE SERVICE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO QUICKLY GET OFF THE ROAD AND TO SAFETY BEFORE I WAS RUN OFF IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH THE ENGINE WILL LOOSE POWER AND THE RPMS WILL DROP AND THEN REV BACK UP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS A QUICK ACCELERATION, LIKE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, PULLING ONTO A BUSY STREET. THE WORST EXPERIENCE HAPPENED JUST LAST NIGHT, MARCH 2,2015. I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON TO A BUSY STREET AND THE CAR STUTTERED AND SHOOK AS IF IT WAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THE CAR AND TRAFFIC WAS COMING TOWARDS ME IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. OUT OF NOWHERE THE VEHICLE CLICKED INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATED. WE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY LAST YEAR AND ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED SOMETHING WRONG I WAS TRYING TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING CAR. I TURNED THE SIGNAL ON, MOVED OVER TO THE PASSING LANE, WENT TO ACCL. AND THE CAR BASICALLY RED LINED AND WENT NO WHERE. SO I DON'T PASS AND GOD FOR BID PULL OUT IN FRONT OF FASTER MOVING CARS. NOW, AFTER DRIVING ACROSS TOWN, AND IT GETS UP TO NORMAL RUNNING TEMPS THE CAR HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING AROUND 3RD THROUGH 5TH GEARS. IT LURCHES LIKE IT WOULD IF A NEW DRIVER IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION MIGHT DO, UNTIL YOU LET OFF THE GAS AND I GUESS LET THE MOTOR CATCH UP. *TR

WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. FORD IS TRYING TO SAY IT'S COVERED BECAUSE THE WRENCH LIGHT IS ON, AND THEN BRING YOU IN TO THE SHOP TO PAY $2000 FOR A VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE PULLING THE WOOL OVER THE NHTSA BY MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE COVERED IT WHEN IT'S SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A NISSAN. BASICALLY THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE. COME THE TIME I MIGHT GET HIT BY A CAR, I WONT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. *TR

WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE! WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES. FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO JUST DIE. NOT HAPPY WITH THE CAR!!! *TR

I FILED AN ORIGINAL COMPLAINT REGARDING SUDDEN FAILURE OF MY VEHICLE TO MOVE OR PRODUCE ANY POWER BACK ON 10-05-2013 UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10546865. AT THAT TIME I DESCRIBED THE FOLLOWING: SUMMARY: I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND I COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 3 MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND NO MATTER HOW FAR I PUSHED THE PEDAL IT WOULD NOT MOVE PAST 700 RPM. THIS REPEATED ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES MORE THAT DAY. DID IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMED IT WAS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND THAT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT HAD AN ERROR CODE OF P2111. FILED ORIGINAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS...
