2007 Ford Fusion complaints

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND SUDDENLY I FELT THE VEHICLE HAVE SOME TYPE OF LOSS OF POWER. I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPM ODOMETER WAS "JUMPING" FROM 1 TO 1.5 AND THE IDLE WAS HORRIBLY ROUGH.THE MOTOR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS A FORCED IDLE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, I CHECKED EVERYTHING TO SEE IF MAYBE THERE WAS ANYTHING LOOSE OR SOMETHING IN THERE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD SEE SPOT ON OR NOTICE SPOT ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE 'SYMPTOMS" AND CLEANING OR FORCING SHUT THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR WAS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT KEPT SHOWING. SO I PULLED EVERYTHING APART AND CLEANED IT AND SPRAYED SOME WD-40. ONCE I OUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER I THEN STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNED OFF AND IT WAS RUNNING LIKE NORMAL. *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE! I WAS THE THIRD VEHICLE IN LINE WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT TO CHANGE. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND WE ALL STARTED MOVING FORWARD. WE MOVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. ABOUT 200 FEET PAST THE INTERSECTION TWO STRAY DOGS RUN ACROSS THE ROADWAY. THE ROADWAY IS A DIVIDED FOUR LANE WITH PASSING LANES AND IS A 40 MPH ZONE. THE TWO VEHICLES IN FRONT WERE ABLE TO STOP. AS I APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES, I HAD THIS SENSE THAT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM LET GO. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. I REMEMBER PUSHING FOR ALL I WAS WORTH ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT HAVING THE SENSE THAT THE VEHICLE IS JUST NOT STOPPING. THE ACCIDENT WAS WRITTEN UP AS UNAVOIDABLE DUE TO THE TWO DOGS AND NO DRIVER WAS CITED. THAT EVENING AS I HAD TIME TO RELIVE THE ACCIDENT, I RECALLED THE SENSE OF THE BRAKES HAVING FAILED. THE NEXT DAY I WENT INTO THE BODY SHOP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I REMEMBERED AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE BRAKES AS PART OF THE REPAIR ASSESSMENT. THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY GONE EXCEPT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM SHOWED NUMEROUS CODES IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BODY SHOP HAD SOMEONE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY COME AND CHECK ON THE BRAKES AND THEY REPORTED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM HAD GONE OUT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT, AND NOT THE ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO FAIL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM WENT DOWN THAT THE ABS SYSTEM BLEW OUT P

MY CAR HAS A HISTORY OF LOST POWER/STALL DURING NORMAL DRIVING, IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT SO I WANT TO FILE THIS COMPLAIN TO HAVE SOME INVESTIGATION. WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE TO THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC/SPEED, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND NOT RESPONSE TO PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. MY WIFE HAD TO STEER THE CAR BACK TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID ACCIDENT. THIS CAR IS SERVICE BY FORD DEALER UNDER PURCHASED MAINTENANCE PLAN SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. THERE WAS NO MENTION TO SERVICE THE INTAKE/THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS NOT SERVICEABLE. I UNDERSTAND THIS CAR SHARE SAME PLATFORM WITH FORD ESCAPE WHICH HAD A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY LAST YEAR. I WONDER THIS CAR MODE SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS CAR HAD A HISTORY OF LOST POWER/STALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY AND HIGHWAYS WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS NOR WARNINGS. MY PARTICULAR CONCERN WAS LAST WEEK IT LOST POWER/STALL WHILE DRIVING ON MULTI-LANE EB I-96 FROM DETROIT TO GRAND RAPIDS, MI, WHICH WE HAD TO PERFORM EMERGENCY EVASIVE ACTIONS TO GET OUT OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO AVOID COLLISION/ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT WITH PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAD NO SYMPTOMS NOR WARNING. THE CAR SIMPLE LOST POWER REDUCE TO IDLE SPEED AT AROUND 600 RPM. IT FAILED TO RESPONSE TO CRUISE CONTROL, GAS PEDAL CONTROL. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY OR THE MASS AIRFLOW SWITCH. BOTH OF THEM ARE NOT SERVICEABLE PARTS AND NOT RELATE TO MAINTENANCE, WEAR OR TEAR. THIS CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED BY FORD DEALER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. NO ADVICE OR ANYTHING WAS GIVEN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHICH HAS DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON SAFETY THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STARTING TO OPEN . IT'S RAISED ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES. WHEN I CAME OF WORK AND GOT IN THE CAR I FOUND IT LIKE THAT. THE CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. PLEASE ADVISE. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE? *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED SOME BULGING THRU THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE DASH. SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED MY 12 YR AND SECURED HIM IN THE BACK SEAT WITH LAP/SHOULDER BELT. I CONTACTED FORD TODAY AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AT A COST OF $1000/1200 DOLLARS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD REPLACE IT. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT AIRBAG DOING A FAULTY FIRING WITH NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED AND STRIKING MY CHILD. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THEN STARTED STOPPING VERY SLOWLY. TOOK IT THE THE MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DROVE IT HOME AND IT DID IT ONE TIME AGAIN. CONTINUED DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 300 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS TIME THE BRAKE FAILED AT 4 STOPS IN A ROW. THEN IT ENGAGED AGAIN AND WAS FINE THE REST OF THE 20 MILES HOME. THE DEALER MECHANIC SAID IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS BUT IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS INTERMITANTLY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FUSION OWNERS FORUMS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM . ONE PERSON SAID IT COST $2000 TO FIX. FORD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN AND SET UP A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR HYBRIDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE OTHER PERSON HADN'T SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. *TR

DASHBOARD VINYL AND PADDING IS BULGING AWAY FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT, OR MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE THE PASSENGER. SOMETIMES AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON. ALTHOUGH THE DASHBOARD LOOKS UNSIGHTLY, THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! *TR

THE OPEN HANDLE FROM IN CAR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BROKE INSIDE DOOR PANEL. UNABLE TO GET OUT FROM INSIDE CAR. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR I WOULD BE UNABLE TO ESCAPE FROM VEHICLE.

THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD WITH GRAVE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

CAR JOLTED WHILE CRUISING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THEN WENT IN TO LIKE A FIRST GEAR AND HIGH RPM. ALL THE DASHBOARD GAUGES, LIGHTS AND RADIO WENT OFF. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND FUNCTIONED. PUT BACK IN DRIVE AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH GEAR, SPEED, GAUGES, ETC. RETURNED. BACK IN NEUTRAL SO I COULD USE MY FLASHERS AND AFTER COASTING FOR A LITTLE BIT THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HAD TO TOW TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP (54 MILES AWAY) WHERE THEY ARE TELLING ME THE THROTTLE BODY HAS FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACED. *TR

HAD THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AFTER MULTIPLE STALLS AT IDLE. REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY STILL STALLING ENGINE AT IDLE. FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE IT STALL IN MOTION. *TR

WRENCH LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASH AS THE CAR SLOWS TO 20 MPR OR LESS, GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WONT GO. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT RUNS UNTIL IT SLOWS DOWN AGAIN ANOTHER 20-30 MILES. THIS YEAR SHOULD'VE BEEN RECALLED AS THE 2009-2012 MODELS. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER IS RAISED ABOUT A QUARTER INCH AROUND THE EDGE AIRBAG HAS NOT DEPLOYED BUT I AM VERY CONCERN. *TR

DRIVER SIDE, REAR DOOR OPENED, PASSENGERS EXITED. I, MYSELF, CLOSED THE DOOR BEHIND THEM AND THE DOOR SIMPLY FLEW BACK OPEN. DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. DOOR WILL NOT SHUT. NOT MANUALLY, NOT BY KEY. LOCKING MECHANISM ON CAR WILL NOT WORK. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE BACK SEAT AND LITERALLY HOLD THE DOOR SHUT SO THAT MY PASSENGERS WOULD NOT FALL OUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ONE ON THE WAY. I CANNOT SIT IN THE BACK AND HOLD THE DOOR SHUT IF I NEED TO USE THE CAR. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED, ALL SERVICE'S DONE STRICTLY BY FORD. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE RANGE OF $3-400 TO GET IT FIXED. *JS

THE DASHBOARD ON TOP OF WHERE THE AIR BAG IS BOWING UP CAUSING A SPACE WHERE THERE SHOULDN'T BE. I'M SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ON IT'S OWN WITH NO REASON. *TR

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN BULGING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT, I CHECKED TO SEE IF IT COULD BE FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO FIX IT AND IT WOULD PROBABLY COST ME WELL $1000 BUCKS. SOME HAVE BEEN QUOTED OVER $2000. MY CAR IS PAID FOR AND I AM NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EVEN WITH A WARRANTY I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. TO ME, THIS ISSUE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM FORCED TO LEAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IF I HIT A BAD BUMP IN THE ROAD, IT MIGHT EXPLODE AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN INJURE MY PASSENGER. HAVING TO LEAVE IT OFF, IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE BULGING AIR BAG ON DIFFERENT MODELS OF THE FORD FUSION, I DO NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR THAT I/WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER. IS FORD GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS AND FACE A LAWSUIT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM? I DO NOT HAVE A COUPLE $1000 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED. MY AC HAS BEEN BROKEN SINCE LAST YEAR. I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE AC. PLEASE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS MY 2007 FORD FUSION SE V6 WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. ENGINE WOULD REMAIN RUNNING BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THIS OCCURS. SOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR COMPLETELY OFF FOR 30 SECONDS AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES OR SEVERAL 1000 MILES BEFORE REPEATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AT FORD WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITH ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO GET AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS THE EXACT OEM PART WHICH HAS THE SAME DEFECT. FORD WANTS ME TO PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART WITH A DEFECTIVE PART. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSING POWER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC THE RISK OF A CRASH IS EVEN MORE OF A CONCERN. WHY IS FORD NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE ON A RECALL? THIS IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED! *TR
