2010 Ford Fusion complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DEC 2010. A RECALL NOTICE IN JAN. 2012 STATED "THE WHEEL STUDS ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY FRACTURE." WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THAT RECALL IN APRIL 2012, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED ONE BROKEN WHEEL STUD BUT DIDN'T INDICATE WHICH WHEEL. IN APRIL 2013, A WHEEL STUD ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT NOTING THE RECALL. IN JUNE 2016, A WHEEL STUD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. NOW FORD IS CLAIMING THAT THE WHEEL STUDS WERE NOT RECALLED AND REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR COSTS EVEN THOUGH THE 2012 LETTER OPENS WITH THAT REMARK. THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS RARE THAT WHEEL STUDS BREAK WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE STUDS ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM ON ANY PREVIOUS VEHICLES THAT I'VE OWNED AND HAVE NOT CHANGED MY MANNER OF MAINTENANCE SO I DO NOT BELIEVE MY ACTIONS ARE CAUSING THE STUDS TO BREAK. HAVING EXPERIENCED THREE WHEEL STUD FAILURES IN FIVE YEARS, IT APPEARS THAT THE WHEEL STUDS WERE NOT RELIABLY MANUFACTURED, HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF BREAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AND POSE A SAFETY RISK FROM POSSIBLE WHEEL SEPARATION.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILS, REQUIRING THE VEHICLE TO BE SHUT OFF IN ORDER TO RESET IT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEEL LUG STUDS FRACTURED ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PURCHASED PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,500.

WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THROTTLE DECREASES TO BELOW 500 RPM, AND SOMETIMES STALLS. TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE CHECK COME IN INTERMITTENTLY. FORD AWARE OF THE THROTTLE BODY AND ACCELERATOR PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT UNTIL BROKEN. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND PAID $125 FOR DIAGNOSTIC BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD AND THEY JUST REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP STATING THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT UNTIL IT IS BROKEN. PLEASE HELP, I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN.

POWER STEERING RECALL - RECEIVING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". WHEN IN PARK AND PUTTING VEHCILE INTO DRIVE, WE'RE GETTING THE FAULT MESSAGE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS THE SAME RECALL FOR 2011 FORD FUSIONS. WE HAVE 2010 FORD FUSION. WE ARE NOW DOWN ONE VEHICLE AS WE WERE TOLD IT WILL BE $2,500 TO REPAIR.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BROKE FROM THE INSIDE

ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALARM P2111 CAME UP. THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN. MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING LEFT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY ADJUST, IT WORKS FOR A WHILE, THEN OCCURS AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

TWICE NOW A POWER STEARING ASSIST FAULT HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE BECOMES UN-STEERABLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND HAS MANY COMPLAINTS FILED ALREADY. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 77 SOUTH JUST BEFORE EDENS FORK EXIT , CHARLESTON WV 25312. THE ROAD WAS DOWNHILL AND CURVED TO THE LEFT. WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF TROUBLE THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT I HAD TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHICH MADE THE CAR SWERVE OFF ROAD AND HEADED TOWARD CONCRETE DRAINAGE DITCH AND OFF INTERSTATE INTO THE WOODS. I WAS LUCKY I GOT BOTH HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL AND HAVING LOST THE POWER STEERING WAS DRIVING MANUALLY SO TO SPEAK WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TURNED PARTIALLY SIDEWAYS AND SLID IN THE GRAVEL INTO THE CONCRETE DRAINAGE DITCH WHICH WAS WELL ENOUGH BEVELED TO ALLOW ME TO SLOWLY SLIDE INTO THE DITCH, WHERE MY CAR CAME TO A STOP. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT CRUISING LANE SO NOTHING WAS TO MY RIGHT. HAD I BEEN IN THE PASSING LANE AND PASSING TRAFFIC I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, NO DOUBT IN MY MIND. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF THE 2011-12 FORD FUSIONS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC MOTOR THAT WERE PLACED INTO THOSE FUSIONS TO POWER ASSIST THE STEERING. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SOME IF NOT ALL OF THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS HAVE THE SAME STEERING MECHANISM AS THE 2011 AND 2012 FORD FUSIONS. I DO KNOW THAT IF YOU ORDER THE COMPLETE RACK AND PINION UNIT FOR 2010 FORD FUSION IT IS THE SAME REPLACEMENT AS THE 2011 AND 2012 USES. SO I WOULD LIKE TO FILE MY OWN COMPLAINT ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE POWER ASSIST STEERING MECHANISM ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION. I THINK THE 2010 FORD FUSION SHOULD INCLUDED ON THE RECA

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM DEALERSHIP ON REPLACEMENT PARTS TO REPAIR RECALL. *SMD

FOLLOWING THE REPAIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH A 2011 RECALL ON THE WHEEL LUGS, THE LUGS CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF THE WHEELS.

CAR RAN OKAY. I CALLED FORD AFTER THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS OVER THE MILEAGE ALLOWED AND WAS NOT COVERED. THEY SAID THEY SENT OUT A CSP#13N03.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CAR JUST LOST POWER. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. COULD ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR WAS SHAKING/ CHUGGING AS I TRIED TO GIVE SOME GAS. SHUT CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES AND CAR RAN GOOD. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT HALF HOUR LATER. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY MONTH WITH THE CAR BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. USUALLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT THIS TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH (COASTING) AND WENT TO GIVE IT SOME GAS AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE HAD NO POWER. WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, I WOULD RESTART THE ENGINE . IT WOULD REV IN NEUTRAL OK, BUT IF YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN AND YOU WOULD HAVE NO POWER. IF YOU LET THE CAR REST FOR A MINUTE OR TWO BEFORE RE-STARTING CHANCES ARE YOUR OK.

FUEL CAP CODES, EMISSION CONTROL CODES AND THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL CODE ARE NOW ON ALL THE TIME. I HAD TAKEN IT BACK TO FORD, BUT LIGHT HAD WENT OUT AT THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES DO NOT LOG IN ECM. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD HOOK UP EQUIPMENT, THERE WOULD BE NO CODES AND THE COST $90.00. I LEFT. ON A SHORT TRIP THIS WEEKEND WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL CODES STAYING ON AND NEW ONE FOR THROTTLE WHEN CRUISE WOULD NOT SET. I STOPPED AT AUTOZONE AND THEY COULD PRINT OUT STORED CODES. THEY ARE P0455, P0457,P2119. THEY HAVE PERFORMED AND THROTTLE RECALL ONCE AND I HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL, BUT NO RESPONSE AS OF YET. AS OF TODAY THE DASH SERVICE WRENCH HAS RESET. THE PROBLEMS START OVER A YEAR AGO ON TRIPS TO FLA. BUT LIGHTS ALWAYS SEAMED TO RESET AFTER SEVERAL KEY RECYCLES.

WILL APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON GODDARD AND FORT ST. CAR ACCELERATED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE STARTED ACROSS FORT ST AGAINST RED LIGHT WHILE I WASH PLAYING DODGEM CARD ONLY WAY TO STOP CAR WAS TO SLAM IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I STARTED CAR AND MOTOR RACING TURNED OFF TO STOP.

POWER STEERING ON THE CAR WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN AND THE WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED AT ALL. A WARNING SAYING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC CAME ON. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT!

TWO YEARS LATER I WAS STOPPED AT A 3 WAY STOP MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD. AS I WAS MAKING MY TURN MY CAR WOULD NOT MAKE THE TURN. MY CAR WENT STRAIGHT AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. THE GROUND WAS LEVEL OR MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. I HAD NO STEERING OR BRAKES AND I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD WENT DEAD. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR I REALIZED MY CAR WAS RUNNING AND BELLS WERE CHIMING ALONG WITH ADVANCE TRAC POWER STEERING FAILURE. I HAD NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THIS WAS IN APRIL 2015. ALMOST $2000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS 1 YEAR LATER WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE ARE STATE PRISONERS SLOWING TRAFFIC WHEN MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE REPAIR I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A WARRNATY ON PARTS BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY LABOR. AFTER CONTACTING FORD I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS AND LABOR WERE BOTH COVERED. I WILL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET THE REPAIR. WHEN I THINK ABOUT DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY WITH OUR 3 GRANDCHILDREN AND THINK ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON THE CURVY MOUNTAIN ROADS IT TERRIFIES ME. I AM DISGUSTED WITH FORD. THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL CAR JUST LIKE THEY DID THE OTHER YEARS. I AM TIRED OF HAVING THIS CAR IN THE SHOP WITH ALL THE MAJOR REPAIRS. I DO HAVE REPAIR RECORDS THEY ARE NOT WITH ME AT THE MOMENT.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN 2013 AND HAD TO HAVE A MOTOR PUT IN 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IMMEDIATELY TO A MECHANIC AND THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED.

THROTTLE BODY ACCELERATOR. STARTED THE VEHICLE, ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT ON. CAR ACCELERATION WAS JERKY, ALMOST STALLED, AND UNDERPOWERED. INTERNET STATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL.

REPORTED MY FORD FUSION ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE YESTERDAY. LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY - TERRIFYING EXERIENCE. IT IS FIELD SERVICE ACTION 13N03. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THE WRENCH LIGHT IS NOT ON RIGHT NOW. READING POST, OTHER OWNERS STATE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF UNTIL CAR IS DRIVABLE. MY CAR JUST STARTED ACTING UP, BUT I CAN'T GET IT FIXED SINCE IT IS NOT A RECALL. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE ATTACHED MY CONVERSATION WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CHAT.

SINCE THE RECALL WAS DONE, MY POWERTRAIN HAS NOT RAN RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS THE PROBLEM, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEMS UNTIL AFTERWARDS. PROBLEM STARTS IN THE MORNING.

STALLS IN TRAFFIC, GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE OR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. GOOGLE SAYS ETB PROBLEM THAT DESCRIBES THE ISSUE EXACTLY.

LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT PREPARING TO LEAVE INSTEAD OF ON THE ROAD LIKE SOME OF THE PEOPLE I'VE READ ABOUT. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT GREAT EFFORT. I HAD TO STRAIN TO GET THE CAR HOME. WHY ISN'T THIS PART OF THE RECALL? IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT FORD CAN SELL CARS THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE. I CAN IN NO WAY AFFORD THE $1000+ IT'LL COST TO FIX A MISTAKE THEY ALREADY KNEW WAS THERE. FORD IS HORRIFIC. IS THERE ANY WONDER WHY PEOPLE BUY IMPORTS?

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. A KNOWN HIGH FAILURE ITEM WHICH FORD HAS IGNORED. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT 75 MPH, ABLE TO MAINTAIN 40 MPH WITH BARRICADES PREVENTING GETTING TO A SAFE LOCATION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! AT A MINIMUM FORD SHOULD NOTIFY ALL OWNERS THIS IS AN ISSUE VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY FORD. THE SERVICE WRITER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS WHEN I DROPPED THE CAR OFF, SEEN IT MANY TIMES.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS DURING A BUSY TIME AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAVE. THEY DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE, SO MUCH THAT THE TECH KNEW THE PART NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.

THE INTERIOD DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH HAS STOPPED WORKING. I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE.I CAN PULL THE LATCH HANDLE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY 2010 FUSION HAS 86,000 MILES.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT I AM BASICALLY TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION A WRENCH ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH AND I HAVE BOTH P2111 AND P2112 TROUBLE CODES WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND BE RESTARTED IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE. 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID WITH 46,900 MILES ON IT.

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MY SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD WENT TO MAKE A TURN AND IT BECAME HARD TO TURN MY VEHICLE......TOOK IT TO THE FORD GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT GAVE THEM LIKE 4 OR 5 CODES

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY VEHICLE LOST POWER (I.E. THE ENGINE AND ELECTRONICS STAYED ACTIVE, HOWEVER MY ACCELERATOR NO LONGER WAS OPERABLE). I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY ENGINE BEGAN TO OPERATE IN A ROUGH MANNER. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY RPM INDICATOR WAS BOUNCING ERRATICALLY FROM LOW TO ABOUT HALF WAY ALONG THE DIAL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. I SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON AND OPERATION WAS RESTORED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED TO ENGAGE, WHICH MADE THE STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO TURN.

THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS THEY CAR WOULDN'T GO. WHEN IT FINALLY DID IT WAS DELAYED AND WOULDN'T EXCELERATE QUICK, AND I COULDN'T DRIVE FAST HAND ABOUT 25 MPH

SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON FOR THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD LOST ALL STEERING POWER. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN MY DRIVE WAY!
