2010 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED OFF THE KEY TO RESET THE ALARM CODE. THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 2 MILES, THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN. WITHIN 5 MILES THE CAR WOULD BARELY RUN AT ALL, THE ENGINE WAS MIS-FIRING AND CLUNKING ALONG AT 2 MPH AND STALLING EVERY FEW FEET. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, AND THEN WITHIN 5 MILES IT WAS COMPLETELY UN-DRIVABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY, COST $525 TO REPAIR. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK DRIVING DOWN COLUMBIA PIKE ROAD IN ARLINGTON, VA. @ 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON ON AUGUST 22, 2013 HEADING TOWARDS INTERSTATE 395. I HAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND MY 2010 FORD FUSION BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I LOOKED AT THE DASH BOARD AND SAW AN ILLUMINATED WRENCH AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE STREET LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I MASHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY FORWARD MOTION. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO WARN THE OTHER CARS AND FOR MY SAFETY, THAT I WAS HAVING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND COASTED DOWN THE HILL LOOKING FOR A SAFE LOCATION TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WAS...

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE LOCAL STORE AND CAME UP TO A LIGHT. AS I STARTED TO TURN RIGHT AND ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT ABOUT 1000 RPM'S. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT APPEARED. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND GOT NO MORE THEN 100 YARDS WITHOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING AGAIN. I REPEATEDLY DID THIS UNTIL I MANAGED TO GET HOME. A TOW TRUCK TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD SO THEY REPLACED IT. I'M THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL F A SUDDEN CAR STARTS TO STALL. I WAS IN MY LEFT LANE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PULLED ON SIDE OF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF WAITED 2 MIN STARTED CAR AGAIN. AS I WAS APPROACHING 50 TO 55 MPH CAR STARTED TO STALL AGAIN WITH WRENCH LIGHT ON.. PULLED OFF AGAIN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICAL. GOT CAR TOWED TO SHOP AND COME TO FIND OUT MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC SAID THAT ALOT OF FUSIONS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ITS A DEFECTIVE PART AND ITS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT COST ME 600.00 TO REPLACE PART. THIS PART IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN KILL ALOT OF PEOPLE IF THIS PART IS NOT RECALLED.. IF THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME AND I STALLED I WOULD B DEAD FOR A FAULTY PART FORD HAS NOT YET...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION IN APRIL OF 2012 AND HAVE HAD MANY INCIDENTS OF THE "CHECK FUEL INLET" MESSAGE AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THAT THE GAS FLAP DIDN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I REMOVED THE FUEL NOZZLE. THIS AGAIN OCCURRED ON AUG. 17, 2013 BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN ON AUG. 22 I HAD 3 INCIDENTS WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL THE NEXT 4 MILES WITH SOME SPUTTERING AND RACING OF...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. PUSHING THE GAS DID NOTHING. I HAD TO COAST OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. RESTARTING MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS IN TOWN. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE , THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AS IF IT MIGHT DIE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED IT. I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE TO MY MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH HIS SCANNER. HE THINKS IT IS THE " DRIVE BY WIRE " OR A SENSOR. *TR

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AN THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGHLY AND ON THE VERGE OF STALLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED 1-2 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING "NORMALLY". I DON'T RECALL IF ANY OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE STALLING COULD HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. UNFORTUNATELY THE PART ID ON BACK-ORDER FOR 1-2 MONTHS SO I NEED TO LIVE WITH THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. THE CAR IS A 2010 FORD FUSION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER (PURCHASED IN DEC '09) AND THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS STALLING ISSUE. *TR

TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS....THIS HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY HAPPENING IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN JULY AND SO FAR 4 TIMES IN AUGUST. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR FORD TO DO A[XXX] RECALL ON THIS PART (THROTTLE BODY AND CIRCUIT BOARD) THAT IS CAUSING THIS, A DEATH???? I PRAY ITS NOT MINE! WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM WIDRICKS AUTO SALES IN WATERTOWN NEW YORK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING....I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED BECAUSE WHETHER FORD CARES OR NOT IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!!! I AM SO FRUSTRATED THAT A COMPANY THIS BIG DOESNT GIVE A[XXX] ABOUT PEOPLE THAT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PART AND REPLACE IT FOR NOTHINGWHEN FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM!!!!!! ...SERIOUSLY WHAT IS...

FIRST INCIDENT WAS VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ENTERING A INTERSECTION FROM A STOP SIGN. STALLED HALF WAY INTO INTERSECTION AND HAD A NEAR MISS OF BEING HIT DO TO LOSS OF POWER AND OTHER TRAFFIC NOT HAVING TO STOP IN THEIR DIRECTION. CAR WAS DIESELING WHEN IT CAME TO A STOP ,HAD TO BE SHUT OFF, THEN RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS AFTERWARD. THIS SAME STALLING HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60 MPH + AND ON SIDE ROADS AT 30 MPH. FROM STOPS TO FULL POWER GOING UP HILLS OR TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. NO POWER TO MOVE CAR EXIST ONCE IT HAS HAPPENED ,YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP , SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES OVER LAST FEW WEEKS.TOOK TO DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THROTTLE BODY IS SHOWING A FAULT AND PARTS CAN ONLY BE...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 2 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND PAID FOR IT TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. HOPEFULLY IF THERE IS A RECALL, I CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR MY REPAIR BILL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BUT SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,733.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE (4 CYLINDER - SIX SPEED) IN FEBRUARY 2013. THE VEHICLE HAD 12,100 MILES AT PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 16,900 MILES. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE LITERALLY HAD NO POWER AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY, WITH NO RESPONSE TO INCREASE POWER VIA GAS PETAL OR DOWNSHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, WHICH HAD A SHOULDER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND STARTED THE VEHICLE, WHICH HESITATED AT FIRST, BUT THEN STARTED. I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH NO ISSUES. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE NEXT DAY,...

FORD FUSION 2010 HAS DEFECTIVE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM/COMPUTER IDENTIFYING THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE NON-FUNCTIONAL PART CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO SELF AND OTHERS. AT 60 MPH FREEWAY SPEED THE CAR GOES INTO AN INSTANT "LOW RPM MODE", CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF FOOT PEDAL CONTROL AND RPM IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO 800. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS AN UNGUIDED MISSILE LOOKING TO STRIKE SOMETHING. THE POWER STEERING IS NON EXISTENT. MY CAR DID THIS ON 8-19-2013 WITH ONLY 12303 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OF THE THROTTLE BODY SENSING CIRCUITRY BEING DEFECTIVE. IT IS ONLY A LITTLE MORE TIME UNTIL THIS GETS SOMEONE KILLED. AFTER STOPPING WITH A DEAD ENGINE, STARTING AGAIN RESULTS IN VERY ROUGH IDLING AND NO MORE THAN 800 RPM, WHICH IS INCAPABLE OF MOVING THE CAR. SHUTOFF THE IGNITION, CHECK AND HAVE GOOD OIL AND TRANSMISSION AND COOLING LEVELS. STARTED THE...

DRIVING AT 45 MPH, CAR LOSES POWER AND/OR ACCELERATION. WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND PULLED CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND VEHICLE SHAKES TERRIBLY. SHUT CAR OFF AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED CAR. WRENCH LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND CAR RAN FINE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THREE MORE OCCASION WITHIN A WEEK. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES BUT STATED IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, EVEN DRIVING THE CAR BY A MECHANIC WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TESTER, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD EVIDENTLY DOES NOT WANT TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEIR IS NO CODE YET. THEIR ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, WRENCH LIGHT CAME OUT, CAR DIED DOWN TO 900 RPM AND FLUCTUATED ERRATICALLY WITH NO GAS PEDAL RESPONSE AT ALL. DODGED SEVERAL CARS TRYING TO AVOID REAR END COLLISION TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD TO TURN OFF AND TURN CAR BACK ON, PROBLEM THEN WENT AWAY AND HAPPENED AGAIN ROUGHLY 20 MILES AGAIN DOWN THE HIGHWAY. CAR WILL NOT DRIVE PAST 20 MILES WITHOUT HAVING AN ISSUE. *TR

THIS CAR HAS A TENDENCY ON STALLING BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR

WHILE DOING 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT IT WAS AS IF IT WAS IN IDLE. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. THE IDLE WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH. THERE WAS A 'WRENCH' INDICATOR LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AS I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT WAS VERY ROUGH TO START THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IDLE WAS NORMAL. I DROVE WITHOUT A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 20 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED IN THE EXACT SAME MANNER. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THIS TIME, THE 'WRENCH' LIGHT WAS OFF, BUT THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT WAS ON AND REMAINED ON. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THE THROTTLE-BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON. I PULLED OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD; CAR RESTARTED AFTER 2-3 TRIES; DROVE WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR NEXT 1500 MILES. SINCE THEN HAS STALLED THREE TIMES, USUALLY WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF INITIAL START DRIVING AT 30-40 MPH. EACH TIME, RESTARTS WITH ONE OR TWO TRIES AND RUNS OK, BUT FEELS SLUGGISH. *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN TURNING LEFT, STOP WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY FREEWAY, AND QUICKLY ACCELERATE WHEN MY FOOT HAS BEEN ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND THEN JUST STOPPED. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. I SHUT IT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS ACTING THE SAME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED (CODE PEWEE). *TR

WAS GOING 60 IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR AND CAR JUST WENT TO NOTHING IN SECONDS. HAD MY 14 MONTH OLD SON WITH ME. SCARED ME. CAR WAS PUTTERING WOULDN'T GO OVER 10 MILES AN HOUR. DIDN'T KNOW I COULD SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. FOUND OUT LATER BY DOING RESEARCH IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT IS WHAT IT IS. COSTING ME 600 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THEY CONSIDER IT A HAZARD. NOTICED AFTER DOING RESEARCH THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON ALOT OF 2010 - 2012 FORD FUSIONS. NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK IF THERE IS WAS OR GONNA BE ONE.. *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. IT COMPLETELY CEASED TO FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. FORTUNATELY, MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT INJURED. HOWEVER, IF THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AS SHE DROVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. AFTER DURING SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS. IT TOOK CLOSE TO A WEEK FOR THE PART TO COME IN - BECAUSE - THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME - THERE WAS A HUGE WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART BECAUSE THEY KEEP FAILING. (PLUS, SHE WAS WITHOUT A CAR.) HE TOLD ME THAT FORD REALLY DOESN'T SEE THE NEED FOR A RECALL AT THIS TIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE COULD DIE. ON ONE OCCASION, HER CAR FAILED GOING DOWN A VERY STEEP AND WINDING HILL....

SITTING AT A LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING VERY ROUGH - DIPPING BELOW 500 RPM AND SURGING TO ABOUT 1200 RPM. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHEN I HIT THE GAS. PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, SHUT CAR OFF, RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THEN PROCEEDED TO IDLE ROUGH AT THE NEXT THREE STOPLIGHTS - THIS TIME NOT SURGING. CAR EVENTUALLY STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED ALL 3 TIMES. SEEMED TO RUN OK ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT STALLED ONCE MORE AT A LIGHT AFTER GETTING FF THE HIGHWAY. IDLED IT IN DRIVEWAY WHEN I GOT HOME. IDLING VERY ROUGH BUT HASN'T SURGED OR STALLED NOW. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER AND STALLS AT CITY OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS (HAVE TO PULL OVER). CAR SHUTS DOWN WHEN IDLING. FORD WAS CONTACTED BY OUR SERVICE CENTER AND WE'RE TOLD WE NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY, BUT THEY ARE ON BACK-ORDER. THERE ARE AT LEAST 5000 ORDERS AHEAD OF US. SERVICE PERSON SAID HE IS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. *TR

MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED ON HER WHILE SHE IS IN THE FAST LANE. SHE PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNS THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER THE CAR DIES OUT AGAIN, THIS TIME THE SHOULDERS ARE NON EXISTENT AND SHE IS FORCED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD COULD'VE DIED LAST NIGHT AND IT SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RECALL THESE FAULTY VEHICLES OR AT LEAST REPLACE THE FAULTY PARTS THAT THEY PUT IN THEM. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ONE PENNY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND THE CAR JOLTED THEN THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASH. THE CAR THAN BEGAN TO SLOW AND THE RPM WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 1000. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY BADLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND HAS A CODE READER AND WHEN WE HOOKED IT UP AND THERE WERE NO CODES. I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT FORD IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THIS. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING AS IF CRUISE CONTROL HAD SHUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO RESUME THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH NO SUCCESS, AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO DECELERATE. I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN SPEED, BECAUSE A VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST STRUCK ME IN THE REAR. I HAD TO MANEUVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND CAME TO A STOP, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN ROUGH, BUT WOULD ACCELERATE AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY 85 MILE JOURNEY HOME. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION 2.5 LITER ENGINE, AS THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. TRAFFIC HAD SLOWED ALITTLE SO I BEGAN TO SLOW AS WELL. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENED. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. AFTER ALMOST BEING TAKEN OUT BE A SEMI I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. SEEMS THAT FORD HAS A MAJOR ISSUE. I THING THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

CAR LOST ACCELERATION, POWER, THERE WAS SHAKING HAD TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF AND CONTINUE ON. HAPPENED AGAIN ON AUG 8TH, 2013. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR JERKED I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WORKED FINE I HOOKED A CODE SCANNER AND TROUBLE CODE P2111 POPPED UP THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE SLOWED, STARTED SHAKING, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. I PULLED OVER, TURNED MY CAR OFF, WAITED FOR A MOMENT THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT IT SEEMED FINE SO I DECIDED TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE TOWARD HOME. 10 MINUTES LATER, AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING, SLOWED TO LIMP MODE AND MY GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. I CONTINUED IN LIMP MODE TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS WE DROVE IN THE PARKING LOT TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM - ONCE EVEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE USED A CODE SCANNER, BUT NO CODES WERE BEING SET. WE SUSPECT...

HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2010/FORD/FUSION/POWER+TRAIN TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON IT WAS ALL THAT COULD BE DONE TO AVOID A HIGHSPEED ACCIDENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WA RESTARTED IT RAN FINE. HOWEVER IT CONTINUES DOING THIS. THE DEALER SAYS THE THROTTLE UNIT ($600) NEEDS REPLACED THIS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS JUST REPLACED. WE CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IT TOOK THREE WEEKS FOR THEIR REPRESENTATIVE TO RETURN THE CALL AND HE HAD THE NERVE TO ASK "WHAT DID WE EXPECT HIM TO DO"? WITH THE WEB THE COMPANIES CAN NO LONGER LIE THE DEALER AND FORD FIRST STATED IT WAS THE FIRST THEY HEARD OF THIS, YET THERE ARE LAWSUITS EVERYWHERE. *TR

CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP. GAS PEDAL WAS INOPERATIVE. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR

THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY PRODUCE ABOUT 800 RPM. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED THE NEXT DAY AT A LOWER SPEED (30 MPH). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID IT DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WHICH WOULD COST $475 AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION / 2.5L SE. ONE THE FREEWAY AT A SPEED OF 70MPH AND ENGINE RPM AT 2100 AND TRANSMISSION IN D THE THROTTLE STOPPED RESPONDING AND THE VEHICLE SPEED BEGAN TO RAPIDLY DECREASE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPPED TO 900. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF FREEWAY TRAFFIC AND NO SHOULDER. AFTER VEHICLE THROTTLE STOPPED RESPONDING PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL (NOW GLIDING DOWN THE FREEWAY) AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO 900 AND NO THROTTLE CONTROL. WAS NEARLY HIT WHILE TRYING TO GLIDE TO THE RIGHT LANE BY TRAFFIC. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS GLIDED TO A STOP SHUT THE CAR OFF AND REMOVED KEY AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AS SEMI'S CAME WITHIN INCHES OF MY VEHICLE AT 70MPH. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THROTTLE RESPONDED. AFTER TWO MINUTES OF DRIVING THE ISSUE REPEATED AGAIN. *TR

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH USING CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN THE WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DIAL AND THE CAR SLOWED WAY DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART AND WERE ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES WITHIN THE 2 HOUR TRIP. WE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED, BUT THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL PERHAPS 2 MONTHS. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL FORTHCOMING. I BELIEVE THIS IS POTENTIALLY A LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY. I'M GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WRENCH WARNING ICON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VACUUM SOLENOID HAD FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE VACUUM SOLENOID HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ENGINE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. WE WERE AT LOW SPEED AND COULD GET OFF THE ROAD. DEALER HAS CLEANED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND REINSTALLED IT. CONCERN IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE IF FAILURE IS IN A VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP AT A RAILROAD CROSSING. UPON APPLYING THE GAS TO GO, I STARTED TO LOOSE ALL POWER WITH THE ENGINE STARTING TO SHAKE, AND THE CAR SEEMING TO STALL, BUT LIMPING ALONG. NOTHING HAPPENED AS I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A PARKING LOT. THE DASHBOARD HAD A WRENCH LIGHT ON. THE CAR IN THE ENGINE AREA WAS STILL VIBRATING AND SHAKING, WITH NO POWER BUT TO LIMP ALONG. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITING A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED UP, BUT SHAKING AN SPUTTERING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO MY JOB WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEM. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WHEN GOING HOME, I DROVE AT 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR LOST ALL POWER TWO MORE TIMES,...

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HWY GOING HOME. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY KIND OF NOTICE AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN I TRIED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN. I TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES THE REST OF MY WAY HOME. WITHOUT WARNING THE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. I'M BEING TOLD IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 55 MPH AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE O START THE CAR AGAIN AND GET OUT OF THE ROAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY SINCE LATER THAT DAY MY CARD WOULDN'T TURN ON. *TR THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS HEADED TO THE AIRPORT ON MY MORNING COMMUTE; I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV VERY LOUDLY THEN I MY CAR STALLED OUT. I HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP AND THEY ADVISED THAT I HAVE A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND IT WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, THE COST IS $345.00 FOR THE PART AND $190.00 FOR THE LABOR. ALL WHILE I AM STILL PAYING ON THE LOAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH A WRENCH ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE WRENCH WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT DROVE HOME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED IF THE WRENCH WAS NOT ILLUMINATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE NOR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE KENNEDY EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO AT ABOUT 4:30 PM AT RUSH HOUR TIME. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY KIND OF NOTICE AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN I TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. I MANAGED TO GET OFF ON THE NEAREST EXIT AND WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. FINALLY I TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY, TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. NO WARNING. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. I'M BEING TOLD IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS, FROM DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME, A WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS NO FUEL GOING TO THE CAR AND WHEN I PULL TO THE SIDE, THE CAR STUTTERS LIKE IT WANTS TO GO AND THEN STOPS AGAIN. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT AGAIN, THE CAR DRIVES LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING AND FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO TAKE ACTION. *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

THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED. RESTARTED AND THE CONDITION RECURRED APPROXIMATELY IN 3 OR 4 MILES. AGAIN, I TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN RESTARTED AND AGAIN, THE CONDITION REPEATED AFTER SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND NO CODE WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE. THE CONDITION DID NOT REOCCUR FOR SIX WEEKS AND RESURFACED AGAIN WITH IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS. RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS TIME THEY AFFIRMED THE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF HIGH DEMAND EXHAUSTED THE AVAILABILITY OF THE UNIT. *TR

AT 65 MPH THE CAR ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHUTTERED AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE, WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR SAT AN IDLED/SHUTTERED. TURNED IT OFF. WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND TURNED IT BACK ON, EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE, AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND DISCOVERED MANY 2010 FUSION OWNERS HAVING SAME ISSUE...THROTTLE BODY. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER AND CONFIRMED FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. WANTED $596 TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAM PCM. WAY TOO MUCH FOR A PART THAT IS ABOUT $150 AND 10 MINUTES WORK. DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS HIGHWAY SPEED AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER DO NOT MIX. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON ROADWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THROTTLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR REPEATEDLY BUT ENGINE APPEARED TO STAY AT IDLE AND VEHICLE SLOWED TO A STOP. A WRENCH SYMBOL LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING NORMALLY. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME OR INTERSECTING WITH ME WHICH I WOULD HAVE HAD TO AVOID. *TR

WHEN LEAVING HOME TO GO TO THE STORE, ACCELERATOR PEDDLE STOPPED RESPONDING SHORTLY AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AFTER LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE IDLED VERY ROUGHLY, SO I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT IDLED FINE, SO I CONTINUED ON MY TRIP. SHORTLY AFTER, STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM THE STOP. I WAS TURNING LEFT, SO I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN RIGHT AND PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. RESTARTED ENGINE AND CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THE SAME BEHAVIOR OCCURRED AGAIN ON Y WAY BACK HOME WHEN STARTING ANOTHER LEFT TURN. *TR
