Loss power steering in my 2010 Ford Fusion on my way to work. Assit fault came on. This is freaking ridiculous that Ford is not stepping up and taking care this. How can they be so careless. Other issues include front seat recliner driver side. Electrical issues. Engine issues. Disappointed my first car I played off. Nothing to show for it.

While I was driving in the fast lane on the highway my 2010 Ford Fusion sport overheated and cut off due to a faulty heat pump which resulted in coolant leaking into it and warping my engine. There was no check engine light or any other indicator that there was an issue with my vehicle. I had even just gotten my car "winter ready" with my mechanic and in November.

I purchased a new 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid SE from a Ford dealership in fairfax, va. After owning the vehicle for approximately 9 years, the vehicle no longer operates in electric mode (it only operates in gas mode). My average mpg has dropped from 37-40 mpg to 25-27 mpg. I took it to a Ford dealership service center manassas, va in Nov 2019 who indicated they are aware of the problem but they have no solution to fix it (they initially were going to charge me $150 diagnostic fee but waived the fee and sent me home). There are numerous reports in Ford vehicle forums with the same complaint. Consensus is that Ford programmed the electronic mode to stop working after 9 years. When I purchased the vehicle, there was no disclosure that I would no longer have a properly working hybrid after 9 years. This end-of-life decision would have to be programmed into the vehicle's ECU at the time of manufacturing and should have been disclosed by Ford at the time of purchase. Had Ford disclosed this, it would have directly impacted my decision to purchase the vehicle. The fix appears to be reprogramming the vehicle to make it think it is less than 9 years old which returns the hybrid functions to normal. According to several forums, some Ford service centers have conduct this fix, but the majority of Ford service centers are not willing/able to resolve this issue. This issue has been identified in Ford's oasis database with no solution. Tsb #ssm 48238 NHTSA id #10167224 was announced in Oct 2019.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving up a slight incline and stopping, the vehicle would drift backwards when in drive gear. The vehicle had an automatic transmission. When the vehicle accelerated, the rpms increased, but the transmission would not switch gears smoothly like it was designed to do. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who only printed out the recall information. The manufacturer also informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 59,000.

Vehicle has 1 to 2 second delay after depressing throttle before acceleration occurs. Very similar to NHTSA id number: 11219222 and NHTSA id number: 10167224. Suspect it's related to NHTSA id number: 11233861 this has resulted in numerous close calls and near T-bone accidents in this car.

We had driven to a football game, when we returned to the car it would not start. All the lights worked, it turned over perfectly every time, but it would not start. Had it towed to the mechanic in the morning and it started for them. However, after multiple test they were able to get it to stop starting. Checked the codes and it said O2 sensor. Replaced O2 sensor. Car died on my way home from the mechanic while pulling out onto the highway from a stop sign where vehicles are traveling 60mph with my two small children in the car. Terrifying! I barely chugged across the lanes and got the nose of my car on the shoulder. I turned the car off and after a few tries it restarted. When I got home, I took the battery cables off the battery for the weekend as I read that could help the faulty computer issue. So far, I have not experienced this issue again. A couple of weeks before this, I noticed that at speeds of 50 mph the car felt like it was speeding up and slowing down really fast like pulsing.

Bought used Ford Fusion on 9/16/19 from fred bean Cadillac- Buick in doyalstown pa. After about driving it for 950 miles on 10/04/19 an yellow wrench icon appeared on the dash board and the car seemed to lose power. The car was parked and the car was turned off, once the car was restarted the wrench icon disappeared. Made appointment with dealer where the car was purchased from at 7:30am on 10/05/19 to have the car looked at. Was told no error code was found, but later that same day while driving home around 2:00pm the wrench icon reappeared and the loss of power happened turning off from rt 332 (yardley-newton rd speed 55mph) on to stony hill rd speed 40mph. Once I go to a red light at stony hill and yardley langhorne rd intersection I turned car off, then restarted car and wrench icon disappeared.

The car stalls and shifts gears after stopping at a red light or stop sign then after moments of pressing the gas pedal it spins off and jerks really hard on a freeway it rides very well it only stalls after waiting at a light or stop sign or tapping onto the break also the car has new break pads but it sounds like something is scrubbing and while I was backing out of a parking lot the car made a huge popping and threw me back while my foot was on the break it scared me so I got out to see what happened and I didn't hit anything nor did anything hit me so I tried to drive home and the car jerked the entire way home almost

Rapid deceleration: While driving on the freeway rapid deceleration occurred. Car slowed to about 25mph and would not accelerate when gas pedal was pushed. Exited freeway.. turned engine off and restarted. Car operated normal. No error icons showed. About a half mile from home problem reoccurred crawled home at 10mph. Next several days problem did not reoccur. About a week later same problem reoccurred while driving home..10mph. Spoke to Ford service to see if they would cover repairs and they declined. Took it to my repair shop and they replaced the throttle body. $600. Very scary dangerous situation when this occurs on the freeway.

Throttle body recall I have a 2010 Ford Fusion that I just purchased less then a year ago. One day my check engine light came on and I returned the car they told me it was the throttle body. They replaced it and 3 months later it went again. I looked up the recalls and they said that the throttle body was one of them. It has already been fixed 4 times in the last couple of years. Now my car is stalling and shutting off in traffic. How do I go about getting this fixed or something new. I looked up the recalls and it saids im suppose to have a 10 year extended warranty or 150,000 mile warranty. But no one is giving me any answers. This car is very dangerous for me and my family to be driving in. Where do I go from here..

I was driving 70 mph down the highway and my car just quit running. A few warning lights came on and I pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I was able to restart the car and merged onto the highway; the car quickly died again. I had the car towed home and was unable to start the car again since the anti-theft lock light was on. I had the car towed to a dealership and I am waiting to hear back from them.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While reversing into a parking space, the engine suddenly revved very high before the vehicle suddenly accelerated. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally; however, the failure recurred approximately four hours later. While at a stop light, the engine suddenly began to rev very high and the engine suddenly accelerated. While depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward and caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The driver shifted into park to stop the vehicle. There was a car in front of me and a car in back of me. Car violently shook and sped forward at a fast speed. Car veered into oncoming traffic and went up over the curb. Consumer's foot was on the brake the whole time. Consumer put the car in park and the vehicle stopped. Engine was racing.

2010 Fusion hybrid lost power then shut down. A warning on the instrument panel said to pull over safely and stop. I have done research and found other drivers of the same make and model are having the same problem. If this were to happen in heavy traffic it could cause an accident. Apparently Ford motor is aware of the problem but has done nothing to remedy the situation. My understanding is the problem may be with the throttle body according to some of the complaints I have read. My vehicle is out of warranty but others have had the problem with vehicles under warranty. This problem occurred at 45 mph, thankfully just before turning onto I95 interstate entrance.

I noticed today there is a Ford recall for 2012 through 2018 Ford Focus for a faulty part that could lead to engine stalls. The recall states a malfunctioning valve that could result in inaccurate fuel level readings and potentially engine stalls or an inability to restart the vehicle. This is exactly what I have been experiencing in my 2010 Ford Fusion. While I am driving and start to slow down at a stop sign or to turn the corner the engine stalls and jerks and then it goes away until the next time I slow down or turn. I believe this to be the same situation as the current recall for the Ford Focus. Driver side door can't lock.
