2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid complaints

LEFT FRONT AXEL BROKE FOR NO REASON AT ALL. DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. ALWAYS KEPT THE CAR MAINTAINED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2010 AND HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS UNTIL YESTERDAY. AXEL BROKE AS I DROVE SLOWLY ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. FORD REPAIR IS BAFFLED WHY IT BROKE. COULD HAVE KILLED US AND SOMEBODY ELSE IF I HAD CAR LOADED UP WITH PEOPLE AND ON A FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. THE STEERING LOST CONTROL AFTER AXEL BROKE. *TR

WHILE TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT AND NEITHER BRAKING OR ACCELERATING BUT SIMPLY COASTING WITH THE WHEELS TURNED VERY SHARPLY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. QUICKLY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THIS WAS NOT A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM SINCE THE FLOOR MAT IS ANCHORED AND CANNOT SLIDE UNDER THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE GOING 55MPH ON A FREEWAY UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN I NOTICED I WAS LOSING SPEED. PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE HARDER THINKING I NEEDED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE INCLINE, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I NOTICED A YELLOW WRENCH APPEAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH DISPLAY. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE GROUND AND CAR STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT DECELERATED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 30MPH WHERE IT STOPPED DECELERATING AND MAINTAINED THIS SPEED. I HAD TO MANEUVER AT 30MPH OFF THE FREEWAY TO GET INTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER LANE. TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON. YELLOW WRENCH NO LONGER VISIBLE AND CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. THIS POSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CARS BEHIND ME YIELDED TO MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND LET ME GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER LANE. *TR

TONIGHT WE STARTED CAR, PULLED OUT, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. WE NOTICED THAT THE WRENCH LIGHT HAD GONE ON. THE HIGHEST SPEED IT COULD GET TO WAS 30 MPH, BUT EVERY TIME WE STOPPED, IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM; WE ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES LATE AT NIGHT AND HAD DIFFICULTY MOVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. LOOKING ONLINE WHEN WE GOT HOME, WE'VE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY WEBSITES DETAILING THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY? SAFETY RECALL IS NEEDED!!! *TR

JUST GOT THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALER AND 1 WEEK AFTER THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN TODAY. DRIVING THE CAR , WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THEN CAR IDLES AND GOES LIMP DOES NOT GO OVER 40 MPH AND THE HYBRID SIGNAL WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 ON THE SCREEN WITH THE LEAVES. TOOK THE CAR HOME AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOWED BACK TO SAME DEALER WHO STATED IT NEEDS A 425 DOLLAR THROTTLE VALVE THAT I SAID IT NEEDED LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE ONE. THESE CARS SHOULD LAST BETTER THAN 60 000 MILES WITHOUT A MAJOR POWERTRAIN PROBLEM THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRENTY. I LOVE THE FEATURES AND STYLE OF THIS CAR BUT I SEE LARGE REPAIRS IN THE FUTURE SO TRADE IN HERE I COME . *TR

DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO DROP HER OFF CAR WAS IDLING, WHEN I PUT THE CAR BACK IN GEAR A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE . IT WOULD ONLY GO 30 MPH . THIS WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD TO CROSS A MAJOR ROAD TO GET BACK HOME AND HAD TO WAIT SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE . CALLED FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO TOW IT NOT DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP. *TR

WHEELS HAVE CRACKS RADIATING FROM THE LUG BOLT HOLES ON THREE OF THE FOUR WHEELS. VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY. EACH TIME THE TIRES ARE ROTATED BY COSTCO, MORE CRACKS ARE APPEARING. FIRST NOTICED IN JANUARY 2013 TIRE ROTATION. CORRECT TORQUE IS APPLIED ACCORDING TO COSTO TECHNICIAN AT 100 FTLB ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS. RIMS APPEAR TO BE ALUMINUM. *TR

DRIVER WAS IN SMALL LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER, HE TURNED INTO PARKING SPACE, APPLIED BRAKE, WHEN CAR ACCELERATED OVER CURB ONTO SIDEWALK AND THROUGH FRONT OF BUILDING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD JUST EXITED TO A SURFACE STREET. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 15 MILES PER HOUR. A RED TRIANGLE AND A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT SAID SOMETHING LIKE YOU MAY NOW SAFELY PULL OVER AND COME TO A STOP. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT STILL ON A VERY CROWDED FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY UNSAFE TO BE IN THE LEFT LANE OF ONE OF THE MOST CROWDED FREEWAYS IN THE COUNTRY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 15 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE DIAGNOSIS COST ME $200. I AM VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. *TR

ON 1/1712013 I WAS DRIVING BACK TO MY OFFICE IN LIGHT TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD A DING AND NOTICED RED WORDS APPEARED ON MY DASH WHERE THE HYBRID GAUGE NORMALLY IS. IT READ BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. I HAD IT TOWED FROM MY MECHANIC TO THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE VACUUM HOSE AND HAD IT REPAIRED. ON 2/15/2013, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TWICE. FIRST TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH AND MADE A HARD RIGHT TURN TO A SIDE STREET WHERE ONCE AGAIN PUMPING THE BRAKES DID NOTHING. I SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO A STOP. AFTER 10 MINUTES I DECIDED TO DRIVE HOME AND I WOULD CALL THE MECHANICS IN THE MORNING (THEY WERE ALREADY CLOSED). EN ROUTE TO MY HOUSE, WHICH WAS 3 MILES FROM THE FAILURE POINT, THEY FAILED AGAIN. SAME MESSAGE, SAME DING, SAME PROBLEM. NO BRAKE POWER OF ANY SORT. I FLIPPED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL, WHICH DID SLIGHTLY SLOW THE CAR DOWN, AND ROLLED DOWN A BRIDGE. I TOOK THE FIRST HARD RIGHT TURN AND WAS ABLE TO GET SLOW ENOUGH TO GRAB THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WILL TALK TO THEM, AGAIN, IN THE MORNING WHEN THEY OPEN. *TR
