 Our 2010 ford fusion lost engine power while accelerating up a hill in morning rush hour traffic on a multi-lane super-highway in atlanta. our car was in one of the left lanes and was able to limp across several lanes to the right shoulder with the assistance of a helpful truck driver. cars were racing around us on both sides until we could flag down assistance. the experience was horrifying. the car was towed to the ford dealer who diagnosed the problem as a stuck throttle cover. a repair was made under warranty, and we were told the car was safe to drive.

 My vehicle lost acceleration while driving and shut off on me three times. the third and final time i was on a highway and almost got rear ended. i had the car towed and serviced at the nearest authorized ford dealer to find out i was out of warranty. paid for a throttle and it's installation left very scared and upset.

 Driving down hwy at 45mph and it felt like the engine just stopped. foot was on the gas but could not do anything but coast off the side of the road while trying to avoid traffic. stopped the car and shut it off. after a minute it started and was running fine for about a mile and the sam thing happened again. i was able to get home safely by switching gears manually. took i to the dealer and i was told the throttle body ha to be replaced. even though i paid for the extended warranty and i was we'll within the 5year 50,000 mile power train coverage they still told me the throttle body is not part of the power train and i had to pay $100.00 deductible.

 On feb 13 2013 i was driving and the car nosed over, slowed to approx 8mph, with engine surges of up to 1500 rpm, after several restarts it ran normally. on feb 17 2013 it did the same exact thing, i stopped and restarted the engine several times in the 40 minute drive of 3 miles back home but that did not help. after the car set for several hours it started and ran correctly. research on the internet showed hundreds of the same problem and replacing the throttle body corrected the trouble. on feb 18, 2013 i took it to the ford dealer and from only my description was told that the throttle body was the problem, they had 3 in stock and my three year warranty has expired on feb 21, 2013, less than a month out of warranty and it would not be covered so i drove the car back home, i called a different ford dealer who sold me the throttle body at a discount. it took me about ten minutes to install the throttle body, and the car is still running as it should.

 We were on the hwy going about 65mph in the middle lane of an extremely busy time. it was dark and all of a sudden the car stopped accelerating and we barely made it to the side. waited 5-10 minutes while we called a mechanic friend. started it back up to see if we can get off on the next exit and before we could, it happened again. finally got it home but had to wait two days to take it in since they were closed. ended up not only costing me $400 to fix it, but also the inconvenience of not having a vehicle to get things done as well as a day off of work because i couldn't get there. seeing as many complaints as i've seen, this should have been fixed a long time ago. i love fords, but with the issues i've had, i'm considering a trade in for a different brand.

 I was on the freeway when engine speed suddenly went to idle. i was in the middle lane and almost got into a crash trying to get to the road side. when i brought the car to the ford dealer they said the throttle body was bad and it cost me $500.00 they said it was not covered under the power train warranty,go figure. also the transmission does not down shift properly after heavy acceleration,they said it was normal. it's no wonder why people shy away from so called american cars,it will be my last.

 While driving home the vehicle lost all acceleration and the wrench light came on. the rpms dropped to below 1000. i was able to safely pull over where the car shook and died out. i attempted to restart the vehicle and it would not start. i waited a few minutes and was able to get it started. *tr

 Driving 55-60 mph on freeway when car suddenly lost all power. it did not stall. it would jump ahead inches at a time if i pressed the accelerator but very dangerous situation as cars behind me had no warning that i was going to suddenly just stop. it took me 10 minutes at least to pull over to the side of the freeway and this only because a long haul trucker finally realized what was happening and blocked traffic for me to limp to the side of the freeway. this happened on 9/25/12, then again on 9/26/12. the only immeadiate fix is to turn the car off,let it sit a few minutes then start it up again. it seems to reset whatever is causing the problem. through private contacts i was put in touch with a ford plant manager who had me go to a certain dealership and had a recorder put on the car. it never did it while the recorder was on the car. they told me they felt it was a throttle valve problem but that my car was out of warranty and if it kept happening i would probably have a very expensive repair if the car kept doing this. it did it once more after the recorder was taken off and has not done it since november 2012.

 I have a i4 2010 fusion, started to notice in the city that it wanted to chug forward. started to get worse and worse and then the light came on, once the light came on totally down will. when i was sitting at the light i would just take it out of gear because the car was shaking violently. i did look online and someone mentioned unplugging the battery and letting it reset. well it actually worked for a little bit and its starting to do it every now and then.

 We were driving around 50 mph when the car stopped accelerating and we slowed down to 5 mph.the wrench light and check engine light lit up. luckily, there was nobody on the road behind us or we might have been killed from the sudden change in acceleration. we were told by our dealer that the throttle body needed replacing. they replaced it but the check engine light is still on. it was not covered by warranty (i was told by ford customer service that no warranty covers that part). how convenient that they specifically don't cover a part that is clearly defective. i am not sure if anyone has died from this problem, but i have two teenage sons who drive that car and i don't trust it anymore. after reading all of the complaints on this site, and elsewhere, i demand that an investigation be done into this faulty part before someone is injured or killed. thank you. *tr

 I was traveling on a highway going approximately 70 mph and my accelerator became unresponsive. the rpm's dropped to idle, engine did not stop running but would only coast. the wrench warning light icon came on and later the check engine light came on. i coasted to a stop and put the car in park which is when the car began jerking. i shut the car off and put on my hazard lights on the highway. i was able to restart the car, but it was a rough restart. i was able to drive off and it appeared to run fine. i did some research online and found that many owners of the ford fusion have had this recurring problem with their throttle body. this also is affected by other models of 4 cylinder engines. my ford customer service stated that they had no customer service complaints about this problem. i informed them of all the complaints online, they told me that the throttle was not covered by warranty and this was not a recalled part. this happened numerous times after this, resulting in two near traffic crashes and almost getting tboned while making a left turn through an intersection. the problem is that the vehicle will run fine for a day or say, but with no warning stop running, sometimes at the most inconvenient times. i cleaned the throttle body, but it did not solve the problem. i purchased a new throttle body from my dealership for $185 with tax and replaced the part myself because it was very simple. i am in no means a mechanic, i am a cop and it took me only 5 minutes to replace it. i hope ford identifies this problem before a traffic crash occurs due to the vehicle stalling without warning. *tr

 The 2010 ford fusion will, at random, lose power. accelerator is non responsive and the throttle body/transmission indicator light comes on. it begins to idle rough at approx. 1000rpm and will not respond to the accelerator. i've had the car for just over 1 year and this incident has happened dozens of times. it has happened while at freeway speeds, as well as trying to accelerate from a stop light. i've had numerous close calls and literally fear for my safety while driving the car. the dealership claims to not be able to replicate the problem, however as soon as i've picked it up from them its done it within several miles, only for me to take it back to them and get the same response a week or two later. ford needs to solve this huge problem by issuing a recall and they needed to do it last year. i've literally seen thousands of people in forums with this same exact problem, yet nothing seems to be done about it. it's almost as if the only thing that will open ford's eyes will be a serious tragedy to occur. isn't the point of a recall to prevent that from happening? *tr

 My 2010 ford fusion failed me and my family yesterday in highway traffic. the car went into an idle mode and would not accelerate. i had to coast across three lanes of traffic and run up the curb to get my family to a safe area. i turned the car off, and then back on and the car started. the problem was the throttle body and the dealer replaced the failed unit at my cost. i see on the web, that a failed throttle body is a recurring problem for the ford fusion. the vehicle was only 15 days or 5000 miles out of warranty. my cost of the repair was $328.50. *tr

 My car is a ford fusion bought in march 2010 with only 33,400 miles, still under full warranty. i was driving in city traffic, going about 50 mph, when my accelerator stop working. the wrench and check engine light came on as well. i was able to coast into a parking lot safety, thank goodness. when i started to hit my brakes to stop, the car jerked a bit like it did not want to stop. i stopped, shut off the engine, and it started back up ok. no lights on the dash. i then pulled out into traffic again and not even 5 mins later, it happened again. i coasted into another parking lot, turned the engine off and back on. this time the check engine light stayed on. this proceeded to happen 5 more times before making it to the dealership. the dealership said it was due to a dirty throttle body and that it needed cleaning. i spent $250 to clean it because cleaning is not covered under warranty. two weeks later, i was on the interstate going about 75mph when this all happened again, thank goodness i was not in heavy traffic or i would have been hit from behind. i was able to coast over to the shoulder and restart my car. i drove it straight to the dealership. they called some hotline and were told to replace the throttle body altogether. i have not had any problems since but i wish i had known this earlier. i was terrified of getting into an accident and wish ford would have recalled it before this happened. i pray that no one is killed because of this simple part that should be replaced on all fusions. *tr

 When driving down the interstate the rpm's drop to 0 with no throttle response with trying to accelerate, the wrench symbol illuminates on the dash. at the time of the throttle failure there was a semi to my right and a semi behind me, which made it extremely difficult to pull to the right of the road while decreasing speeds. upon pulling over and putting the car in park and shutting off the car the car starts up as usual. *tr

 Had 2 separate incidents, 1st was driving down highway going 70mph when car jerked, cruise control disengaged, lost acceleration, wrench symbol apperead on dash and trying to accelerate made car jerk even more. fortunately i wasnt attempting to pass another car. i pulled over and shut car off, read manual for what the symbol meant than i started car and symbol was gone. i decided to go ahead and finish trip home and everything was fine. next day going to local grocery store going about 10mph had exact same thing happen. i just spoke with dealership i bought car from and its to be looked at tomorrow. i had just bought this car 3wks ago, so pretty disappointed in ford and pray that nobody gets injured with this mechanical issue, i definitely wont be allowing my child to ride in the car until its completing repaired, and by reading other consumers issues may be never. *tr

 First event was while exiting a mall parking lot; stepped on gas pedal, and instead of accelerating the car seemed just about to stall. i got off to the side of the road, and before shutting off the engine noticed the wrench symbol illuminated on the instrument cluster. i waited a few minutes and started the car, noting the wrench was no longer on, put it in gear and drove off. the car ran fine until 12/28/12, when while traveling at approx 70mph on i-90 the engine began to again down shift and lose power. the third occurrence was the morning of 12/29/12; in each above incident i was able to get off the traffic way, park, shut off the car, restart it and drive away. the wrench was illuminated each time. on 01/03/13 my car was serviced by the dealer from where i purchased it, and they said the problem was the throttle body. they had one in stock and replaced it. kudos to them, but, more than a little unnerving. and if it was replaced with the same style unit, how do i know it won't happen again, perhaps at a most inopportune time? at the time of writing this i don't have the vin available, however, fwiw, the build date is june 2010. it is the sel awd with the v-6 engine, 3.0l i believe. *tr

 While traveling at 70mph on the freeway in my 2010 ford fusion se (46,000 miles), i felt a bump as if was hit from the rear or the transmission locked up. the wrench symbol lit up. the car lost all acceleration. i pulled the car over. while parked on the emergency lane the car kept surging and the rpm bounced between 500 and 1000 rpms. i turned off the car and after several minutes i restarted the car as if there were no issues. approx. 8 miles later still traveling at 70 mph it did the exact same thing as before. this time when restarting, the starter stayed engaged for approx 10 seconds after releasing the key. the car had the same stalling issue 12 more times for the next 15 miles to my home. i spoke to the dealer, he said it is a defective throttle body and needs to be replaced. he acknowledged it is a known issue, but not a recall so my out of warranty cost would be around $600. this is a major safety issue and needs to be addressed by ford before someone gets killed, if they haven't already. *tr

 I was driving down a local road at the limit when the wrench light warning indicator came on, after the indicator was on there was not throttle response, engine was still running and yet no power going to the wheels. i was able to roll over to the side of the road and put on hazard warning lights, car while at idle was jerking and bucking. i then limped the vehicle to a parking lot, placed it in drive and filmed the issue with a cell phone in a parking lot and narrated as to what was happening. once the vehicle was shut down and then restarted the light went out and the problem did not persist. i took it to the dealership and no codes showed up in a diagnostic and the dealership could not reproduce the problem but suspected it was the throttle body controller as this was a common occurrence. *tr

 Vehicle would lose all response to the accelerator pedal. it would happen at any time without warning, but first happened after speeding up after going over a speed bump. the next day it happened 3 times. on that last day, the day of the appointment at the dealership, it happened 4 times. the vehicle would not react to the input from the accelerator pedal. you would have to pull over, assuming there was a safe place to pull over, and shut the car off in park then restart it. everything would be normal until it acted up again, anywhere from 1 mile to 5 miles later. obvious safety issue, you can't power the vehicle to get out of the way of oncoming traffic it were to happen on a turn or merging on a freeway. a wreck could very easily have happened from this failure. it ended up being a bad electronic throttle body. this was not covered under the powertrain warranty and the total cost to replace was $352.40. *tr

 While driving down the highway, my car stalled and went into safety mode or low power mode. i was unable to accelerate. after pulling over, noticed the car was idling rough. the maintenance wrench light came on. i turned off the car and restarted it, after a few seconds of rough starting the car turned back on, the wrench light went off and the vehicle drove fine again. however, the same incident happened multiple times later that day and through out the week. i took it to a ford dealer and they were unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle, since there were no codes currently on at the time of service. after doing some research online, i've found the throttle body is defective, yet ford refuses to replace this under warranty, or replace it unless there is hard evidence that is the issue. *tr

 Transmission slips gears and engages very hard, causing the car to lurch forward. on one occasion i nearly rear-ended a car in front of me because of this. while driving at low speeds the car will shift rapidly between two adjacent gears, as if it is confused. car will sometimes not shift at all; the rpm's just sit at that threshold for a while before knocking hard into the next gear, again causing a dangerous lurching motion. while on the highway the car will lose power suddenly, more prominent when the car is traveling up a steep incline. you could keep pressing the gas but amazingly the car seems to loose more power when you do this. the only way to get power is to open the throttle 100 percent in which case the car again jerks into gear very hard. this situation has happened plenty of times and is very scary. on some occasions the power was needed to accelerate in front of another car in another lane, to avoid an obstacle in the roadway. the latest incident that occurred was very scary. the transmission was making a funny sound, almost like a zipper being zipped. this seemed odd to me because it sounded almost like the gears were rubbing up against something, however i didn't think anything of it because the car seemed to be operating properly. then i went to make a left turn across cross traffic. when there was a break in traffic i pressed the gas, the rpms went up to about 5k and the car slowly grinded into gear, almost like a person who doesn't know how to drive a stick shift very well. this caused my car to nearly get stuck in the middle of an active intersection and i was nearly t-boned. thank good the other drivers saw me struggling and stopped. the issues with this powertrain seem to be endless and the worst part is that they occur at random with no warning. *tr

 We were driving back from shopping, had the cruise set at 65 mph. the car lost power and would not accelerate. i looked down at the dash and notice the wrench light had come on. we pulled off the road and i notice that the vehicle was running rough and still would not accelerate even after putting the car in park. we were contemplating who we could call at such a late hour. i decided to turn the car off and see if would restart, it in fact did and the engine seem to be running normally. we continued to our destination with out further incident. the car has remained in the driveway since the incident. this is the first problem we have had with this vehicle, we bought it used in february of this year. it had 29,700 miles on it and had no issues reported to car fax. it was a one owner vehicle and that was a rental car from initial sale of car in hawaii.

 Tell us what happened: my husband and i had purchased a 2010 ford fusion in july 2012. about 20 some days after purchase. i got into the car and started the car trying to go up my driveway and the car lost all acceleration and the wrench light came on. i called the dealership explained what happened they picked the car up and gave us a loaner to drive. the dealership replaced the throttle body. around august of 2012 my husband, my grandson and i were driving and went to make a turn onto the highway and without warning the car lost all acceleration again placing my family in a dangerous safety situation. we called the dealership and told them what happened and they picked up the car again. this time they mentioned there was issue with wiring and the pcv valve which also dealt with the throttle body was replaced and assured me the problem was fixed. last week my husband was driving the car on a highway and proceeded to pass an eighteen wheeler when out of nowhere the car lost all acceleration, the check engine light came on for about 15 or 20 seconds and thankfully went back into gear. my husband was going over 70 miles an hour and lost all acceleration without warning! this is an extremely dangerous safety concern. this now would be the second time it placed our lives in danger. we no longer have the car but i fear that someone else will buy this car and something worse could happen the throttle body in this car was replaced three times. once through the manufacture, car fax reported it replaced, and once when i purchased the car. something needs to be done to ensure the safety of these vehicles very soon before someone gets seriously injured or killed. my concern is it is very likely this car will be sold again to someone else since we took it back to the dealership where we purchased it from without having this issue fixed

 Throttle body failure: fist occurrence- driving on highway all of a sudden no power. pressing on the gas nothing happens. no check engine light came on. pulled off to the side of highway and put the car in park. the car starting shaking and the wrench light came on. turned car off, then back on and everything was okay. about 6 hours later this happened again as i was passing in the fast lane, then suddenly lost power. again, no check engine light. same scenario as the first. took it to my mechanic and no error codes register. he checked twice. so for a week and a half the car was fine. then happened twice again, no warning, just lost power. this time a check engine light came on after i put the car in park. had it towed to the auto shop and a code did register this time. had it taken for ford and they had to replace the throttle body. this was a very dangerous situation especially when speeding up to pass as the speed limit on that part of the highway is 75 so cars were coming up fast behind me. if i had caused an accident and injuries occurred the fist or second time it happened on the highway, it would have seemed my fault and there would have been no error codes to at least validate what happened. please, please, issue a recall for the throttle body before someone is hurt. not to mention the people just out of warranty that have to pay for this repair. *tr

 Each time (8 times) traveling at 40-67 mph and with traffic around and wrench light comes on along with check engine light; car then loses speed rapidly to only a few miles per hour. barely able to pull over before completely stopping. been in shop twice and both times, codes do not show anything nor have they seen the warning light and it happen to them after driving it for a total of 150 miles testing it. after each time it happens able to sit for 10-15 minutes and it start back up and run. very concerned for my family's safety as we have had several near miss accidents due to the car drastically dropping speed (out of our control) with each occurrence. after research on internet reading several stories of exact scenario (blaming throttle body)and ford has done nothing about it. please please please recall the parts and prevent a bad accident happening. *tr

 Was driving home from work and the car just stopped. unable to get the car to start getting a wrench showing looked in manual shows something to do with the throttle. i am over the new car warranty. i spoke to the dealer and they were aware of the issues with the fusions. repair cost over $500. *tr

 Engine shut down to very slow idle when starting from intersection. barely able to get vehicle out of road. this has now happened 4 times,each time when moving thru intersection. this is very dangerous when traffic is approaching from all directions. after engine has been shut off a few minutes it runs ok. it happened twice on the first occasion then ran good for 5 days when it shut down again,then ran good for 6 days when shut down once more .i see on the internet that this is happening to lots of other fusion owners. it's just a matter of time until someone is crashed into because of this stalling. the problem seems to be the throtte body needs replacing. i think ford needs to recall these vehicles now before a tragedy occurs. *tr

 Driving along. car suddenly seemed to loose power. i seemed to kick out of gear and stopped responding to the gas pedal. i had to cost to a stop. the wrench light came on when the problem started, but after i cut the key off and restarted the wrench light was off and all worked fine. this happened 1 time the first day and twice the next. nothing else happened for 3 more days but on the fourth day the same thing happened. each time i had to coast to a stop. one time i was in a very dangerous situation, since the coast stopped in the middle of a curve on a very dark road. *tr

 My 2010 ford fusion has 65,000 miles on it and we bought it new in oct. 2009. sept 29, 2012 i was driving down the freeway when it made a noise then the wrench light came on and there was no power. i pulled over and the car died then i restarted it and it drove fine the rest of the 30 mile trip. since then almost every time it's driven it does the same thing and it doesn't seem to be at any particular speed or matter how long it's been driven when it happens. i'm very concerned that it will cause an accident because sometimes when it has happened i've had a hard time finding a place to pull over. i even tried putting it in neutral and shutting it off then restarting it and the only way it will resume power is by pulling over and shutting it off then restarting it. i've called ford customer service and was told to get it checked out as soon as possible. today i'm picking it up from the dealership after 2 days and the mechanic cannot duplicate the problem and there is no code showing that the wrench light came on. luckily the dealership isn't charging me for checking it out but ford customer service told them that if there is a problem they won't take care of it because the car isn't under warranty anymore. after reading all the posts from people with 2010 ford fusions having the same problem i am very upset with ford for not doing anything about this. i'm surprised there hasn't been any serious accidents and is that what its going to take for them to recall the problem. my fusion even did it on the way to get it checked out, but i was too far to not restart it, so on my way home if it does it i won't restart it, but have it towed right back to the service department. from what i've been reading the only way they can get a code to show up is when the wrench light is on. i am really starting to dislike ford, because they obviously don't care about their customers.

 While driving at a low speed (10-35 mph) the car quickly gains speed (the rpm does not increase) and then slows down again and it feels like the gears shift down although it doesnt seem possible. the gas pedal stops working and a wrench shows on the dash board, the car slowly decreases in speed. as i come to a stop the car jumps and lurches violently. i turn the car off, wait a few minutes and turn the car back on. the wrench goes away however after this happens 5 more time the engine light comes on. this happens intemittently. i read in the forum people describing issues similar and exactly that same as mine and it seemed as thou it was the throttle body. could not afford the part so i waited and it went away. this stopped for roughly 5 months and then starts again (oct 2012). now it happens at any speed. very, very dangerous! i spoke to a mechanic at a local ford dealership who said that he is not aware of any issues similar to mine.....i find it a little hard to believe that i am the only person in my area with this problem. i suggested he look at the forum. i have 3 children and cannot believe that the powers that be at ford have no concern for our safety, the safety of other drivers on the road, their reputation and refuse to stand behind a product that perportedly won safety awards. very unfortunate. i hope the thousands of postings on the multitude of forums reaches someone at ford (before someone is killed) who has a conscience and is concerned about the safety of those who still beleive in buying american. this ignored, dangerous issue and the ford attitude of not caring will make anyone never purchase a ford product again. i have owned 3 different models and have had issues with all 3.

 After pulling onto a highway my ford fusion began to jerk and lose acceleration. what a horrible feeling at 6am...in the dark......with a highway full of semi trucks wondering if you can get off the road before you are hit! i pulled off the side of the road and notice my wrench light was on. i pushed the gas pedal and there was no change in the rpm's. it was like the engine was dead but still running. after turning the car off and on three times the wrench light went out and i drove straight to the ford dealership. a few hours later they called and told me that the throttle body needed to be replaced. of course this part would not be covered by my 100,000 certified pre-owned warranty!! and on top of that the dealership charged me a $157.00 diagnostic fee....like ford doesn't know they have an issue.

 This is my second complaint in as many days - about the exact same problem. this incident happened two days after the first one. traveling on a city street approximately 15-20 mph and the car suddenly loses all acceleration and the wrench light appears. i was able to putter to the side of the road and shut the car off. when i restarted it, it ran fine. it goes to the dealer today for inspection, where i suspect i'll get the same respone that most every one else gets - that the problem couldn't be re-produced. what will it take to get a recall from ford about the defect in their design? fatal accidents?? that's a pretty high price to pay before they're forced to correct their product.

 Traveling on the street at about 40 mph, car shuddered to a stop. engine light came on. had car towed home. car started the next day. carefully drove the car to the ford dealer. they replaced the throttle body. the throttle body should not be failing at 60000 miles. this should be a recall. *tr

 I own a 2010 ford fusion with 19000 miles. i haven't even had it a month yet. it is a certified pre-owned vehicle. driving home from work yesterday, i stopped in a line of traffic at a red light. the light turned green and i accelerated. during acceleration, the car jerked then lost all forward momentum and puttered. i was able to putter to the side of the road out of traffic. i put it in park and noticed that the wrench light was lit up, so i pulled out the owner's manual to see what it meant...powertrain. i turned the car off for about 5 minutes then restarted it with no other incidents on my way home. thank god i wasn't in any heavier traffic or multiple lanes! from what i've been reading, some people have lost acceleration going 50+ mph in interstate/highway traffic! if this problem isn't addressed, and soon, someone will be seriously injured or worse due to a defect in ford's design. *tr

 At 11:45 pm, i was traveling west on i-64, at 68 mph, when my car quickly decelerated. despite my applying more gas, my car continued to lose power rapidly and began shuddering. it was then that the wrench warning light came on. i immediately pulled over to the side of the road, turned my vehicle off and put my hazard lights on. i waited for a 5 minutes before starting the car again. the car started roughly but did not have any power and could/would not accelerate. it was at this time that both the wrench and engine warning lights came on. again i turned off the car and waited. after another 10-15 minutes, i turned the car on again. this time it started without incident. the wrench warning light did not come back on but the engine light remained on. i kept my hazard lights on and remained in the breakdown lane while i drove approximately 5 miles to the closest exit off the interstate where i promptly parked my car. *tr

 I pulled out of my works parking lot and got 50 ft. car began to slow down, shake/ vibrate violently, and emergency wrench lite lit up. while driving and while in park, it shook. i went to pull off to the side of the rode safely. thank good ness i was on a downhill and could coast to a side road (but still not safe where i was). once i was pulled off major road, i put the car in park. i turned the car off and was too afraid to do anything else. i called for a tow. 24 hours later, i was told my car's computer code said it had a bad throttle body. it was replaced with a brand new, revised throttle body - under warranty which ends in 37 days. it happens to many ford fusions. it's time for ford to own up and send out the recall notices before someone gets hurt/killed. *tr

 I was traveling down the highway when my car stopped getting power when i pressed the gas. a yellow wrench warning dash light came on, the car started shaking and had no power when trying to accellerate to get over a lane to get off the road to avoid an accident. i luckily got over with my hazard lights on and coasted to the shoulder where the car finally stopped but did not shut off or die. the car idled and continued to shake so i poped the hood and checked the transmission fluid level. the level was slightly low which was strange cause i had to add half a qt of trans fluid the month before because the shifting was rough. the fluid was very dark colored and smelled scorched. i shut the vehicle off and let it sit for about 10 minutes then i checked the oil, ok. i turned the car back on, added a little more trans fluid and the car seemed to be ok to get me the rest of the way to work. i left it in a parking lot for the night and returned to check it out in the light. i jacked it up and found some fluid slowly comming out of the place where the axle goes into the transmission. i called the ford service center, explained what happened and explained what i found. i had the recall for the transmission done in 2011 for ford fusion 2010s but the rough shifting has been a problem since i baught it. i have had constant trouble with the transmission shifting rough and now losing all power while driving on the highway at 55mph. it almost caused an accident. my car is now at 76,800 miles and ford service rep says the bill is on me cause the powertrain warranty is up and the recall for the same problem doesnt cover me anymore. i want my car fixed with this problem and i cant afford to keep going to the shop every time this keeps acting up. ford needs to fix the problem with their transmissions before someone gets hurt by this. luckily my 1yr old daughter was not wih me this time.

 I recently bought a 2010 ford fusion with 45000.00 miles on it. after having owned it for only about 2.5 months i am having problems. while driving down a 4 lane highway at 55 miles per hour it it almost stops in the middle of the highway and will not accelerate. it does this with no warning. i am able to pull over to the shoulder and the car begins to shake as i come to a complete stop. once i turn the car off the wrench light goes out i am able to start it back up. it has happened several more times. today it happened in the middle of a busy intersection. the ford dealership in my area when i called said it would be hard to diagnose because the problem is intermittent. by reading the complaints from everyone on the 2010 ford fusion this a common problem with this model. the issue seems to be the throttle body. my fear is that someone will slam into my car not realizing it has stopped in the road. i really think it is a safety issue and cannot believe with being such a wide spread problem ford has not done something to correct it before someone is injured from what appears to be a defective part they have put on their cars.

 The car basically stalled without turning off. the wrench light turned on and the car lost all power and the accelerator was unresponsive. the car would only go 2 mph. once stopped and placed in park, the car idled very rough. then turned off the car. when re-starting the car it started poorly, but once started the wrench light was off. the car then drove normally. this happened 3x that day. i am lucky i did not get into an accident when i lost all power and had to pull over. ford will not fix it citing they cannot see the code. i am afraid to drive this car for fear of an accident. ## vin passed ## ford fusion 2010 ## *tr

 While driving down the road, my engine lost power. rpms went down, and the accelerator was not responsive. i pulled the car to the side of the road, and put it in park. the engine idled very roughly. i shut off the car, waited 5 seconds and attempted to restart. the engine did restart after some effort by the starter. i drove down the road, and the car behaved normally. this seemingly isolated incident increased in frequency in the following weeks. sometimes up to 5 times a day. i took my car to an authorized ford dealer, and the problem was diagnosed as a faulty throttle body. cost of replacement is $355. i researched the problem online and noticed that the problem seems to be fairly common among 2010 ford fusion owners. the online complaints about fusion throttle body problems were exactly the same as the symptoms i experienced. the danger lies in the fact that the car basically stalls without warning and must be restarted before normal driving can resume. i have experienced this problem at both highway and city speeds. a stalled engine in the wrong place at the wrong time (middle of an intersection, freeway, while passing, etc.) could have disastrous effects. *tr

 We were traveling on busy i-80 at approximately 70 m.p.h. due to busy vehicular traffic on the interstate hi-way, i was not using the cruise-control. when we experienced the incident, i had pressed on the gas pedal to maintain speed on an uphill section. on the uphill section, i noticed the vehicle did not accelerate and the instrument panel warning lights started flashing. even with heavy traffic, i was able to negotiate maneuvering the vehicle to the shoulder. as i was coasting on the shoulder, i shifted the transmission to neutral and tried to start the engine (ev system did not respond either) with no avail. after coming to a complete stop, i shifted the transmission to park, turned-off the climate control system and the and radio. i removed the ignition key and re-installed it and proceeded to start the vehicle, the propulsion system (ev mode) responded. we accelerated on the shoulder in ev mode and we reached speed the gas engine responded and we were back on i-80 and traveling with the traffic flow. this is first time this has occurred with us but researching this phenoma, this event has happened with other ford fusion hybrid owners. we are concerned the propulsion system may shut-down in an unsafe environment and create a dangerous situation! *tr

 While driving down the road, my engine lost power. rpms went down, and the accelerator was not responsive. i pulled the car to the side of the road, and put it in park. the engine idled very roughly. i shut off the car, waited 5 seconds and attempted to restart. the engine did restart after some effort by the starter. i drove down the road, and the car behaved normally. this seemingly isolated incident increased in frequency in the following weeks. sometimes up to 5 times a day. i took my car to an authorized ford dealer, and the problem was diagnosed as a faulty throttle body. cost of replacement is $355. i researched the problem online and noticed that the problem seems to be fairly common among 2010 ford fusion owners. the online complaints about fusion throttle body problems were exactly the same as the symptoms i experienced. the danger lies in the fact that the car basically stalls without warning and must be restarted before normal driving can resume. i have experienced this problem at both highway and city speeds. a stalled engine in the wrong place at the wrong time (middle of an intersection, freeway, while passing, etc.) could have disastrous effects. *tr

 I purchased a 2010 ford fusion in june and about 3 weeks later, it decelerated and the wrench lit up on the dashboard, while i was driving. luckily, i was not on the highway or this could have caused a serious accident. i pulled over started the car up and it was fine. a few weeks later, i was 2 blocks from my home and the same thing happened 4 times and continues to randomly happen. the time between instances of this occurring can be minutes, hours, days or weeks apart. i have researched the issue and found hundreds if not thousands of complaints and questions regarding the same issue. i was amazed and appalled that such a common and very dangerous issue has not been addressed with a recall. i did purchase the extended warranty only to find out that the warranty does not cover anything that has to do with what is likely to be causing this issue, which is the throttle body. so until i can afford to get this fixed, i am stuck with a car that i am terrified to drive for fear of causing an accident due to the sudden drop in speed. *tr

 I was driving my vehicle on the highway, at approximately 55-60 mph, when i suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. the car stalled, and the wrench light came on. i had to pull over and restart the car. this happened again, the next day. the car also began to shake prior to turning the car off. i have read hundreds, if not more, complaints regarding this same issue. my car is currently at a local ford dealership, where i was advised that it sounded like the throttle body. the ford dealer commented that this is a common complaint among the 2010 fusions. again, since discovering this problem, i have read hundreds of complaints online in reference to the same issue. i have filed a complaint with ford, as this part/defect is not covered under my powertrain warranty, even though my vehicle is only two years old, with 58,000 miles. this is a tremendous safety concern, with car losing all ability to accelerate on a busy highway. *tr

 On a typical good weather day i was driving around running some errands in the city. shortly after i started the car going at a city traffic rate of speed...approx 35-40mph...i got approximately 5miles out and the car began to slow down,and a wrench sign appeared. even with my foot on the accelerator, i could not accelerate, and went to pull off to the side of the rode which i was barely able to do. once i was fully out of the road, i put the car in park, and before i could shut the car off, it began to shake/ vibrate. i turned the car off and let it sit a couple minutes and i proceeded to start the car up, which it did so like the day i bought it, and the wrench sign went away. i proceeded to my first destination with out any problems. i left my destination and proceeded to my next...i got about 3miles out and the car did, and showed the same thing. so as i decided to just head home which was no more than 10 miles away, the car did the same thing 5 more times and the check engine light came on!!!!! i am now home and afraid to drive anywhere. i got online to see what it could possibly be, and i have not been able to call a mechanic because it is of course a holiday weekend!!! *tr

 For several weeks i've been noticing a sputter/vibration when in idle or park. this has only happened intermittently. this morning, while driving to work at approximately 65 mph, car suddenly begins to lose power and surge/vibrate/sputter and i notice the wrench light illuminated. i'm completely unable to accelerate and all i can do is coast to a stop on the shoulder of the (very busy) highway. after shutting the car off and sitting for about 15 minutes i'm able to restart the car with no indication there was ever a problem. the car is running smoothly and wrench light is off. i drove it to the nearest dealer's service department where i left it for inspection. as usual, i had to call the service department for an update and was told that the car was not acting up and everything seemed to be fine. they did agree to keep it for another round of inspections for the next day or so but i suspect i'll get the same response. after doing some light research, i've discovered that this is a very common issue with the fusions but there is no recall or tsb addressing it. i've read post after post after post written by infuriated fusion owners about this problem. it's time for ford to own up to this, get a solution, and send out the recall notices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tr

 Tl- the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated that he purchased the vehicle because one of the benefits stated in the owner's manual was that the vehicle could be towed with four wheels touching the pavement. the contact stated that the vehicle was towed and as a result, destroyed the transmission. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the transmission was repaired. the manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 40,000. kmj

 Leaving from work on friday afternoon, my 2010 ford fusion lost power as i pull out of the parking lot, it slowed down and i lose ability to accelerate. the wrench indicator on the dash is lit which indicates throttle/transmission failure. the engine was vibrating bad and the engine would not rev up. i roll into a parking lot and shut the engine off. i restarted the engine after a minute and it ran fine. this happens two more times in 30 minutes on my way to the dealer. they knew exactly what the problem was they said it is a very common problem with this car. i was luckily to not get rear ended the 3 times in 30 minutes it lost power. the dealer says it is not covered under warranty. that's stupid that ford would not cover the cost to fix their mechanical defects, this is a design defect as there are many complaints filed for this defect. this should be part of the powertrain warranty. looks like no 2013 f-150 is in my future plans since i was going the buy one. do the right thing ford. *tr

 Returning to tn from vacation in fl on 7/15/12. traveling before birmingham, al - heard a loud boom sound (like a tire blow out), then heard a roar. as we signaled to move from the fast lane to the emergency lane - flames were over the back window of the car. by the time that we reached the emergency lane, the entire car was engulfed in flames both inside and outside. the car was entirely engulfed in flames within 10 to 20 seconds. i had purchased the car from moss motor company in south pittsburgh, tn on 6/4/12. the car had issues within two weeks that required the car to be towed back to the dealer for powertrain issue. dealer did not share the ticket with me on repairs that were completed two weeks before the car exploded. but they kept the car for over one week to fix the issue that caused it to stop pulling while driving. this was the first long trip that i had taken in the car. my two passengers experienced mild burns but we lost all personal items in the car due to the speed that the car burned. alabama highway patrol worked the explosion and fire department had to work the fire. state farm assured me that they would investigate the cause of the fire but has just informed me that they did not do a thorough investigation. i have witness names and contact information as well as photographs that they took as the car burned if needed. *tr

 Driving down the road at 45mph and the car starts vibrating. all of a sudden i lose acceleration while my foot is still on the gas. luckily i was able to pull over before the car lost momentum and stalled out. the wrench light was on. had no warning at all. i shut the car off, waited about 2-3 minutes and tried to start it again. it turned over but after it struggled to. the wrench light then went off. this has happened four more times! each with no warning! i have looked on a number of sited that have the same complaint about this. there are hundreds of near crash cases and all with no warning. i love how this website says your complaint information will be entered into nhtsa-odi's vehicle owner's complaint database and used with other complaints to determine if a safety-related defect trend exists after numerous complaints and an obvious faulty part you still haven't seen a trend? are you kidding me?! today i just missed getting into an accident as the car decided to lose acceleration again as i was pulling out to make a turn across 4 lanes. the lanes were clear to go but oncoming traffic was coming. i was lucky that the person saw my flashers and had the room to move over and get out of the way. apparently ford wants a lawsuit on their hands because as soon as someone gets into an accident(if they have not already) you better bet they'll go after ford. especially since it is apparent that ford has been made aware of this problem and still will not take responsibility for the fact something is wrong. you better believe that if i get hit because there product was not recalled because of a faulty part i'll be front and center with my lawyer and a news crew. *tr

 Car came to a chugging stop and a wrench symbol appeared on the console. after shutting off the car for a few minutes, the car started up and the symbol was gone. i am trying to get in touch with ford. i have found out on the net that this is a big problem with the ford fusion. this is a big safety issue because it has happened to hundreds of fusion owners. i have 20 pages of testimonials about this problem. i think it is time for a recall of this problem! *tr

 Was driving home from work and the wrench light came on and the motor cut off on me, i was lucky because i had just got off of the interstate , i managed to be able to pull on the shoulder of the road set there for a few minutes and started the car. it started and the light went off and was able to drive home. took vehicle to ford dealer and they checked and said they couldn't find any fault codes. they told me it was the throttle bottle and i had it replaced, haven't drove it yet to see if that took care of the problem. i got on the internet and found that other people were having the same problem. i think this is a safety problem and some on could get injured or worst. ## vin failed ## make ford fusion 2010 ## *tr

 Had noticed several times that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate after pushing the gas. later that afternoon, while accelerating from a stoplight, the vehicle started shaking and lost all power. i was able to get the vehicle into a parking lot and turned it off. when i restarted, the engine seemed to run normally but still hesitated to go when the gas was pressed. i got the car to a dealership and they explained that the throttle body was bad - a common thing on these cars. ford is refusing to cover the replacement under warranty, claiming that this is not part of the drive train - though admitting that the car will not function without the part. *tr

 Throttle control is defective. i have read several complaints about the same issue. the throttle control goes bad and then the car will abruptly lose power and stop in traffic. we were lucky that we weren't on the interstate when this happened. in order to move you have to put the car in park and shut it off and turn it back on. i had to have mine replaced yesterday. the car is only two years old and only has 50,000 miles on it. *tr

 Today my 2010 ford fusion lost acceleration on i35 surrounded by semi-trucks at 70mph. the wrench light came on and we could not get out of the way of the trucks behind us. fortunately the trucks were able to go around us and the traffic behind us was about a couple of miles away. we were in the middle of the three lane highway with my 18 month old son in the back seat, so i'm astonish that ford could build such a car and not acknowledge the safety issue. we were able to coast to so the shoulder and turn the car off. the car came back on with no issues indicated on the dash. we then started our way down i35 and the car lost acceleration again at 70mph. this time i was prepared and easily coasted onto the shoulder. the car was rough in idle, but when we turned it off and on again it was fine. i made the decision not to hit 70mph but to go only 60 until we got home. today we went to sea world and on the way home we almost became another statistic because of the ford company. i will go to the ford dealership where i bought the fusion from to see how they can help. *tr

 Driving home from work on the highway at approx. 55 mph, my car lost acceleration, the wrench light came on and my vehicle went into a limp mode. i was able to exit the highway and pull into a parking lot. after a couple of minutes, i was able to restart the car. it now ran as if nothing had happened and the wrench light was no longer on. i brought it to my ford dealer and they could not diagnose the problem as no codes remained. it happened again several days later. i called ford and was informed not to shut the vehicle off and restart it as this action cleared the vehicle of all diagnostic codes. i made another appt. with my dealer. the very next day it happened again. this time i did not shut the car off, but limped @ 5-6 mph to my dealer and showed them the wrench light and the fact that the vehicle was running rough and left the vehicle with them. i also told them not to restart it until they read the codes. after research on the web, i found that this problem is quite rampant in fords and has been a problem for several years. the problem is a defective throttle body. my dealer found the code that i gave them when they checked my car. i had to have it fixed as i need the car for work. ford refuses to acknowledge the problem. are they waiting for someone to get seriously injured or killed? they should stop putting the almighty dollar ahead of the lives of people. *js

 On several occasions the car will not accelerate after stopping for a stop sign or light, then it jerks, moves forward and the rpm's rev up rapidly. then it resumes normally. i am concerned my vehicle has a faulty transmission or the throttle body issue that i have read about. i have only 17,000 miles on this car and will take it in for service, hopefully with resolution. i sure hope a recall is issued soon since this seems to be a serious safety issue. *tr

 On 7/22/2012 at approximately 2000 hours my family was traveling southbound on georgia state route 3 - us hwy. 41 in rocky face, georgia when our vehicle (2010 ford fusion automatic transmission) suddenly without notice went from a solid cruising speed of 40mph to an abrupt halt - nose of the car actually went forward towards the ground so abruptly that it made contact with the ground. the vehicle stalled (still barely running) in the lane of travel and would not get any throttle acceleration. my family and vehicle was almost struck by on coming motorists from the rear due to the abrupt stopping and the vehicle would barely get any throttle acceleration. after the georgia state patrol trooper came to assist the car would not go above 25 mph without suddenly stalling and the check engine light coming on along with an orange wrench symbol. the vehicle had to be abandoned at the dalton georgia state patrol post due to this issue until ford could send a representative to tow the vehicle to the local dealer where we purchased. the local dealer on 7/23/12 informed us that this is an on-going problem that ford is aware of and that the throttle body would have to be replaced. upon further online investigation i found that this issue is widespread and reported since 2010 & has caused very unsafe conditions for motorists such as it did with my family. i am asking you all to look into recalling the throttle body on the 2010 ford fusions to be replaced. this is a problem that ford is aware of and they are blatantly passing the blame off onto the consumer and someone (if not my own family) is going to get hurt. it is unsafe for a late model vehicle that has been serviced as required by the manufacture every 3-5 months to have these abrupt issues and break my family down in the roadway of travel on a major us highway. nhtsa please have ford correct before someone gets injured!! *tr

 The vehicle lost all power at 70 mph and a wrench light came on. this was very, very dangerous. i pulled to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off as it would not move forward anyway. it had a rough restart, but then seemed to be better though still running rough. the wrench light went out. it took it in for servicing at the dealer where they diagnosed the throttle body. this was a very scary and dangerous experience.

 Driving at 65mph in traffic on a state highway when the vehicle failed to respond to the accelerator. vehicle went to approximately 750 rpm and there was no speed control. this failure occurred without any warning as i was passing another car and required me to take evasive action to avoid collision. dealership says it was throttle body control unit and that there are known problems. *tr

 Driving up to a red light that had just turned green, the wrench light came on in my 2010 ford fusion, it began to jerk, i lost all acceleration, and my gas pedal would not respond. i was able to limp the car into a parking lot where i turned the car off. i waited a minute or so and recranked it. it shook/sputtered a little bit, but eventually cranked and the wrench light was off. continued driving and it happened again a couple miles down the road at around 50 mph. again i was able to limp into a parking lot, kill the car, and recrank as before. took car to dealer the next day. they couldn't get an error code reading or replicate the problem. was told to come back with wrench light on (which is impossible because the car won't go when the light is on). i've had this problem occur 3 more times, have filed a complaint with ford, and my vehicle is currently at the dealership as they try to diagnose the problem again. i've read a ridiculous number of complaints about this issue online from other 2010 ford fusion owners. the problem is a bad throttle body, and it is going to get someone killed. i've been driving cautiously since it first occurred because i know i can't rely on the gas pedal to always respond, but for someone to whom it happens the first time who attempts to cross traffic and then finds himself a sitting duck in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic, it is going to spell tragedy. please hold ford responsible! *tr

 There is a serious problem with this car in that it will completely shut down while traveling at any speed whether 15 mph or 70 mph, with no warning. this could cause serious harm especially traveling on the interstate where you can be hit from behind at a high rate of speed. the car will restart after a few minutes, but when doing so will cancel the engine service code p2111 so that the dealer cannot id the problem. if you experience this problem, make them keep driving it until it happens to the service person. issue is defective throttle body -potentiometer. the computer can't tell how much the throttle is open so it shut down. my teenager was driving this car and was almost re-ended twice. very dangerous problem. car should be recalled for this issue!!!!! *tr

 While driving on the highway at 70 mph my car cuts off. i merge to the side of the road and after a few minutes it restarts. i put it in drive and continue driving. the next morning it does the same thing. when it looses power the wrench light, check engine light, and traction control lights come on and it says service advancetrac in the service bar on the dash panel. i have taken it to ford several times and there are no codes stored for them to go by. they made me a new key and stated they thought it was my key going bad. i am sure that it is something more as it has done it again even with the new key. there is definitely something going on with the throttle bodies on these cars. it is very scary and unsafe when the car loses power in rush hour traffic. i have 3 children that i transport in this car everyday. i honestly hope ford investigates this and fixes the problem. i also had the problem with the lug nuts and wheel studs snapping off. there is a recall for that but i was told my car did not fall under that recall even though it was having the same issues? this is the first ford i have ever owned and i will never buy another one. not just the quality of the vehicle, but the tech's at the shops don't know anything, and ford does not stand behind their products!! *tr

 Was driving out of a parking lot car suddenly stalled when accelerating. had to park and restart car to reengage engine. wrench and engine lights came on. car stalled out three more times going around the block. diag code was p0455. dealer initially replaced purge valve. on way home from dealership repair, engine cut out going 70 on highway. returned car to dealer. diag code was p2112. dealer replaced throttle body. car seems to be running normally now. this was a scary problem and a huge possible safety hazard when the vehicle cuts out unexpectedly at random times. *tr

 I was driving on a main street at 40 mph when my fusion suddenly lost power. i was able to pull over in a left turn lane. both the check engine light and the wrench light came on. i was able to restart the car and took back streets at a reduced speed in order to complete the remaining 3 miles to my home. i was able to drive the car to the nearest ford dealership the next morning. apparently, the problem is a defective throttle control. it was replaced for a price slightly less than $500. the replacement comes with a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty. contacted ford customer service to vent my frustration on this expensive maintenance item. response from ford was very disappointing. my claim was denied since my car is less than 4,000 miles out of warranty. i was fortunate that this event did not occur on a highway and i was close to my home. searching the internet showed that this is a common failure with ford fusions. this is the first ford i have purchased and will be the last ford i will purchase. it seems shortsighted on the part of ford to ignore the value of quality and customer satisfaction. i have had my fusion in every three months for routine maintenance, but i see no point in continuing to pay a premium for service at a dealership when i know that ford will not stand behind their vehicles. *tr

 I was merging into traffic onto a major interstate on my way to work at approximately 55 to 60 mph and my 2010 ford fusion lost all power. i was able to get the car off to the side of the interstate. i cut the motor off. i started the engine back and proceeded to work. did not contact the dealership on the first incident. two days later i was coming home and had just crossed over a two lane highway to get to the road i live on and had the same issue, the car lost all power and there was a jerking in the transmission. i was able to get the car off the road again, from previous experience i turned the car off and let it set for a couple of minutes and restarted the car. we then called the dealership and were advised to bring the car in. they had the car for 2 days and they said they could not get a code and they reprogrammed the computer. we drove the car for 3 days and while traveling on the interstate again at approx. 70 mph in the fast lane with a tractor and trailer behind me the car proceeded again to lose power. the tractor and trailer had to apply his brakes to keep from hitting me in the back. i finally was able to get the car off into the center median. again we cut the motor off and started it again and was able to make it home. we called the dealership the next day and were advised to bring it in again. they had the car for 2 weeks. they finally called us and said they thought it was the throttle body. we called ford motor company and naturally they told us there was no recall and they could not help us with the cost of the throttle body. what is it going to take for ford to do a recall?? death!! i have read approximately 70 complaints on the same issue on the 2010 fusions. i have grandchildren that frequently ride with me, does ford not care about the lives that could be taken due to this issue or are they making so much money on this that they don't care. *tr

 On multiple occasions the car will just lose all throttle response, the car is still running, but will not accelerate. i have to find some place to pull over and shut the car off. then restart the engine and then it will run good. the issue happens sometimes up six times in one day, and then you can go a week without an issue. i have seen this issue with speeds as low as 20 mph all the way up to 70 mph. from what i have read online it would appear to possibly be due to a defective throttle body. apparently this throttle body uses a servo to open and close the butterfly that allows air into the intake manifold. i feel this could be a very dangerous problem especially if you are driving and it loses the ability to accelerate and you can not find a safe place to pull over to restart the car. *tr

 I was merging into traffic onto a major interstate on my way to work at approximately 55 to 60 mph and my 2010 ford fusion lost all power. i was able to get the car off to the side of the interstate. i cut the motor off. i started the engine back and proceeded to work. did not contact the dealership on the first incident. two days later i was coming home and had just crossed over a two lane highway to get to the road i live on and had the same issue, the car lost all power and there was a jerking in the transmission. i was able to get the car off the road again, from previous experience i turned the car off and let it set for a couple of minutes and restarted the car. we then called the dealership and were advised to bring the car in. they had the car for 2 days and they said they could not get a code and they reprogrammed the computer. we drove the car for 3 days and while traveling on the interstate again at approx. 70 mph in the fast lane with a tractor and trailer behind me the car proceeded again to lose power. the tractor and trailer had to apply his brakes to keep from hitting me in the back. i finally was able to get the car off into the center median. again we cut the motor off and started it again and was able to make it home. we called the dealership the next day and were advised to bring it in again. they had the car for 2 weeks. they finally called us and said they thought it was the throttle body. we called ford motor company and naturally they told us there was no recall and they could not help us with the cost of the throttle body. what is it going to take for ford to do a recall?? death!! i have read approximately 70 complaints on the same issue on the 2010 fusions. i have grandchildren that frequently ride with me, does ford not care about the lives that could be taken due to this issue or are they making so much money on this that they don't care. *tr

 On multiple occasions the car will just lose all throttle response, the car is still running, but will not accelerate. i have to find some place to pull over and shut the car off. then restart the engine and then it will run good. the issue happens sometimes up six times in one day, and then you can go a week without an issue. i have seen this issue with speeds as low as 20 mph all the way up to 70 mph. from what i have read online it would appear to possibly be due to a defective throttle body. apparently this throttle body uses a servo to open and close the butterfly that allows air into the intake manifold. i feel this could be a very dangerous problem especially if you are driving and it loses the ability to accelerate and you can not find a safe place to pull over to restart the car. *tr

 Was driving out of a parking lot car suddenly stalled when accelerating. had to park and restart car to reengage engine. wrench and engine lights came on. car stalled out three more times going around the block. diag code was p0455. dealer initially replaced purge valve. on way home from dealership repair, engine cut out going 70 on highway. returned car to dealer. diag code was p2112. dealer replaced throttle body. car seems to be running normally now. this was a scary problem and a huge possible safety hazard when the vehicle cuts out unexpectedly at random times.

 I accelerated away from a stop light and as i shifted from 2nd to 3rd gear the car jerked and i had no power at all the engine was still running, but when i put my foot into the accelerator nothing happened. also a wrench was displayed in the warning light area of the dash. i was able to coast to the side of the road and turned the car off. when i restarted it about 15 seconds later the wrench was gone and the car seemed fine. i am reporting this because i see that it is happening to a large number of 2010 fusion owners with similiar milage and it can be a real safety issue when your car dies in traffic!

 Driving with the flow of traffic on a busy road, going about 55 all of sudden i lose power and the wrench light comes on. i was in the fast lane, and was very lucky to be able to get over to the slow lane, and eventually the shoulder and come to a stop. when i finally stopped, the car started shaking or hesitating. i turned the car off and sat for a few minutes. i then turned the car back on and everything was fine. the wrench light was gone and the car ran fine. this has happened 3 times and i have been very lucky that it has not caused a serious accident. i am going to take the car to the dealership on thursday, but seeing that so many other numerous people have had the same problem and ford just says that there is no problem, it will probably be a waste of time. it will most likely take a serious crash or death before ford will figure out what's really going on with these cars. sad, but true.

 Car shifts extremely hard into reverse--feels like transmission is going to drop out of the car. does not accelerate properly; feels like accelerating in a higher gear when starting off. does not seem to shift gears when driving. shifts hard when changing from reverse to drive. also feels like transmission drops randomly when driving at high and low speeds. car has been into the dealer on 4 separate occasions over 9 months and problem still isn't fixed.

 I was driving on a main street at 40 mph when my fusion suddenly lost power. i was able to pull over in a left turn lane. both the check engine light and the wrench light came on. i was able to restart the car and took back streets at a reduced speed in order to complete the remaining 3 miles to my home. i was able to drive the car to the nearest ford dealership the next morning. apparently, the problem is a defective throttle control. it was replaced for a price slightly less than $500. the replacement comes with a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty. contacted ford customer service to vent my frustration on this expensive maintenance item. response from ford was very disappointing. my claim was denied since my car is less than 4,000 miles out of warranty. i was fortunate that this event did not occur on a highway and i was close to my home. searching the internet showed that this is a common failure with ford fusions. this is the first ford i have purchased and will be the last ford i will purchase. it seems shortsighted on the part of ford to ignore the value of quality and customer satisfaction. i have had my fusion in every three months for routine maintenance, but i see no point in continuing to pay a premium for service at a dealership when i know that ford will not stand behind their vehicles. *tr

 Today i was at a red light when my car decided to act up. the light had just turned green and i had started to drive when all of the sudden my car lost power. it struggled then just stalled right in the middle of traffic. i looked at the dash and i noticed the wrench light came on. while i was trying not to die in traffic i put my car into neutral where i turned the key to the off position then back to the on position. luckily my car came back on but it was still struggling. i managed to get the car to a nearby parking lot where turned it off again. i gave it a few minutes to recover then turned it back on again. everything now appeared to working normal. i opened the hood to make sure everything seamed okay (nothing burning, smoking, or anything else out of the ordinary), everything checked out okay. also i would like to mention that my transmission sometimes fails to go into gear then all the sudden it goes into gear and jerks really hard. additionally my lower gears will shift very hard. when it shifts it acts as if someone had pushed in the clutch for to long then it goes into gear. *tr

 While traveling in traffic the car lost power. i was able to steer to the shoulder of the road where the car idled roughly and i noticed a wrench light came on. i shut the car down while i collected my thoughts on what to do. i used my phone to find the closest ford dealer and, before calling for a tow vehicle, i tried to restart the car. it restarted, the wrench light was off, and it seemed to run fine. i drove directly to the nearest ford dealer without incident where they hooked up the computer to see what was wrong. they could find nothing wrong and suggested the next time it happened to try and get it to a dealer while the light was on. i then drove approximately 120 miles home with my grandson. this morning i went on the internet to see if there were any similar instances such as mind and found there were quite a few: (http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2010/ford/fusion/power_train/problem.aspx) the incidents others reported were almost identical to mine. i then called the dealer i bought the car from new, and they ran a check to see if there were any recalls on my model and there weren't. they suggested i call ford customer service. i tried calling them and was told by a representative they were having technical issues and couldn't help me, to call back in an hour. i live in a very rural area. the closest ford dealer is probably 50-60miles away. the roads here don't have much room to pull off on if the car fails again. judging by the complaints i have seen online, it seems there is a problem with this car and there should be some action being taken to remedy it. this situation creates a safety hazard for anyone driving or riding in the car.

 While driving on the interstate at about 55 mph, the vehicle lost all power and shut down with the wrench and check engine lights were on. steering was difficult and i almost was hit trying to get vehicle to off of the road. after several minutes i tried restarting car and it started, so i made it to my destination and it died again. i had to have it towed to ford. the vehicle was under warranty and they replaced the throttle body assembly. vehicle still has loss of power issues and ford has not solved this issue. this is dangerous as vehicle just turns off at highway speed as this part fails.

 On saturday june 16th i was traveling north bound i-75 from rockcastle co. ky to madison co ky which is about 45 miles. was traveling 65 miles mph and suddenly the engine shut off. there was a semi in the right lane, we were in the middle lane with one semi in back of us. we were able to coast to the emergency side of the road. the semi in back of us locked his brake and almost hit us. i shut the car off and restarted it and drove in the slow lane and it happened 3 more times. i then left the car at my mother in-law's house and borrowed a car to get home in as i was afraid to drive it and put myself at risk plus someone's life at risk. on monday, 6-18-12 i got the car to the dealership and the mechanic test drove it and it happened to him. i pulled up on the internet and saw that i am not the only one this has happened to. it definely is a life ending crash getting ready to happen. of course my vehicle is out of warranty as of 35000 miles, but that is not my issue. i would hate to see someone lose their life due a malfunction of a throttle body. ford needs to step up to the plate and admit that know of this issue and fix it before someone loses their life or a childs life. the foreign makers such as toyota stepped up and ford needs to do so also. this is the fourth automobile i have brought from them and try to stay with the american made cars. safety should be their concern instead of the almighty dollar.s

 While driving on the interstate at about 55 mph, the vehicle lost all power and shut down with the wrench and check engine lights were on. steering was difficult and i almost was hit trying to get vehicle to off of the road. after several minutes i tried restarting car and it started, so i made it to my destination and it died again. i had to have it towed to ford. the vehicle was under warranty and they replaced the throttle body assembly. vehicle still has loss of power issues and ford has not solved this issue. this is dangerous as vehicle just turns off at highway speed as this part fails.

 After stopping for a red signal in traffic (vehicle travel uphill) the vehicle lost drive (acted as if the vehicle had been shifted out of gear). after a harsh engagement, the vehicle regained drive. the vehicle was driven home without futher incedent that day. the vehicle was taken to a dealer to get the pcm flashed, i assume with a new shift profile. the vehicle malfunctioned two more times with a data recorder from the dealership installed. the loss of drive occured after rapidly decelerating to slightly less than 40 mph and then trying to accelerate to the previous speed. again, engagement was harsh when the transmission began to provide drive. ford has acknowleged at least one engine rpm spike from the recorder, but denies that it is significant or that it is indicative of a problem. i have had the transmission fluid from this vehicle tested at an independent labratory. the sample results showed the transmision fluid to be high in aluminum (7 times the average for a unit with similar miles), and high in iron about 1.6 times the average. this problem is a great safety concern because if the vehicle were to lose drive when pulling out into traffic, an accident involving injury or death could occur! i have found a youtube video posted that represents the problem i am experiencing by using the google search engine and using the querry ford fusion transmission problems since the pcm flash the automatic transmission seems to behave at times like a manual transmission. on a coastdown it seems like the transmission is pushing the car like a manual transmission with the clutch engaged even though i want the car to coast down. the reprograming has made shifting more harsh in some gear changes, and seem to skip over the problem gears in other shifts.

 My fusion has become erratic in low gear shifts. when trying to merge into traffic and turn onto a highway it will act as though it is in neutral and i have no power to get out in traffic. i have been almost hit on a major highway do to this mechanical failure. i took the car to a dealership for repair and they informed me that it was low on transmission fluid and they repaired a seal and reprogrammed it as ford directed. i took the car on a trip and i was unable to merge into traffic again and it ran at over 5000rpm on the highway for long periods of time. it finally flipped a code and i returned it to the dealership. they did a complete transmission overhaul and replaced over 15 parts. this took two weeks with them having to deal with fords warranty department. i picked up the car on 6/6/2012 and it did not even make it to my place of work, 12 miles away, without the transmission slipping again and it remaining in neutral. this car is a death trap!! i called the dealership and they came and picked it up. it is now 6/12/2012 and i still do not have a car to drive. the dealership is fighting with ford to have the complete transmission replaced. ford has contacted me several times and it seems as though they do not care that this car is a danger to have on the road. i want my car back in working condition. i am pleased with my dealership of choice for service as they have been very polite and helpful with me. ford has given me nothing to drive in the meantime. people, if you have this issue with your car make sure ford hears your complaint. this is dangerous and unacceptable.

 While driving the vehicle under normal conditions at speed on an open highway the car suddenly lost all throttle control and transmission response, a 'wrench' warning light came on the vehicle gauge cluster. after coasting to a stop in the breakdown lane the car sat, idled roughly, and i turned the ignition off. after a minute or two i started the car and the symptons (including the wrench warning light) were gone. i brought the vehicle to the dealer service desk and after analysis was told there were no events captured by the vehicle computer. i was told to drive the car and report any additional instances of the problem. after the issue resurfaced again three weeks later, i again brought the vehicle to the service team at my dealership. after again not finding events logged in the computer, they installed a temporary data recorder for me to manually engage the next time the issue appeared. i was lucky to have the problem the very next day, the recorder captured the event and reflected the problem was with the throttle body. the dealer replaced the unit. upon researching the issue after the first instance it is clear there are hundereds of cases of this same problem documented in various forms and sites on the web indicating this is a known, systemic problem for ford with the fusion throttle body. the nature of the problem, effecting vehicle control, at speed, is dangerous and would seem to warrant a more proactive approach to the issue both by ford and by the nhtsa.

 Engine began shutting down while moving in morning rush hour. also surges forward and runs thru multiple gears while in stop and go traffic with light, if any throttle applied. on 6-8-12 engine went into failsafe mode, 1100 rpm while traveling at 60 mph. no response from throttle, had to manipulate thru traffic to beach car upon shoulder of road. after shutting off key and restarting, vehicle seemed fine, but same situation happened twice more within minutes. drove car to nearest ford dealer who cleared the old codes and test drove, finding no further issue. billed me under esp service agreement, and continued onto work. leaving work to make deliveries, car initiated exactly same response as earlier (5 times), at various speeds, and again, heavy traffic. took to dealer i bought car from, who immediately claimed it needed a new throttle body, which are on national back-order, delivery date unknown. referred to another dealer who had open bays and a throttle body in stock, but for some reason was uninterested in even looking at the car. offered to leave car, esp offers rental, so i could return to work, but that part has become uncovered by the extended warranty, and they still had no interest in fixing car after i agreed to pay myself. transmission has a quirky problem of downshifting aggressively when traveling downhill, up-shifting rapidly in slow moving traffic, and now a throttle body problem which causes car to go into a no power situation while at speed.

 Gears just dropped out and car simply idled. had to pull over into left turn lane and turn off vehicle and restart. car worked fine again for two weeks when it happened again. it happened most recently on 06/06/12 three times in one day. once on the way to the office, once on the way home from the office, and once on the way back from my financial advisor's office when i had my fiance in the car.

 While driving the car at 55mph i let my foot off the gas and then went to accelerate and the car lost all power. would not recognize the gas pedal check engine light and wrench light were on. car died in a construction zone with 3 lanes and no shoulder. extremely dangerous. i pulled car to right lane turned car off and on car continued on. took car to dealer. advised no message was marked in computer. there was nothing wrong could not repeat problem. 5 days later while driving home in traffic the car once again lost all power would not recognize gas pedal, check engine and wrench light came on. i pushed car to the shoulder, turned car off and on continued 100 feet car died again 17 more times. i had car towed to dealer. dealer replaced transmission control. car now shifts horribly, and has a jump when you let off gas. car has stalled numerous times. ford needs to recall for the transmission control module. ford needs to admit there is issues with the transmissions in the v6 fusions. i had similiar transmission issues with my ford edge and mercury sable.

 While driving the car on a sunny day about 35 mph the car started to slow down abruptly to 5 mph. the advance track light came on and service advance track immediately message went across the message center. i immediately took the car to the dealer. light and message were on when i dropped off the car to the dealer. dealer stating could not repeat problem.

 Engine began shutting down while moving in morning rush hour. also surges forward and runs thru multiple gears while in stop and go traffic with light, if any throttle applied. on 6-8-12 engine went into failsafe mode, 1100 rpm while traveling at 60 mph. no response from throttle, had to manipulate thru traffic to beach car upon shoulder of road. after shutting off key and restarting, vehicle seemed fine, but same situation happened twice more within minutes. drove car to nearest ford dealer who cleared the old codes and test drove, finding no further issue. billed me under esp service agreement, and continued onto work. leaving work to make deliveries, car initiated exactly same response as earlier (5 times), at various speeds, and again, heavy traffic. took to dealer i bought car from, who immediately claimed it needed a new throttle body, which are on national back-order, delivery date unknown. referred to another dealer who had open bays and a throttle body in stock, but for some reason was uninterested in even looking at the car. offered to leave car, esp offers rental, so i could return to work, but that part has become uncovered by the extended warranty, and they still had no interest in fixing car after i agreed to pay myself. transmission has a quirky problem of downshifting aggressively when traveling downhill, up-shifting rapidly in slow moving traffic, and now a throttle body problem which causes car to go into a no power situation while at speed.

 I have a 2010 ford fusion with a four cylinder engine. while driving to work, i started speeding up from an intersection, only to experience a complete and total loss of power, the wrench light came, the engine started misfiring (rough idle at less than 550 rpm), but all systems where still working. pressing the gas pedal produced no results. i was able to pull off the side of the road, stop the engine, let the car sit for about 15 seconds, and then restarted it. when the engine restarted, the car started up and ran like nothing had happened. yesterday (june 1st), the fusion did the exact same thing, except this time i was pulling into an intersection (approximately 5 miles per hour). i had a catastrophic loss of power, the wrench light came on again, the engine was misfiring (rough idle), the rest of the systems continued working. luckily no one was coming in my direction and i was able to pull off the road into a parking lot, stop the car, and then restart it. i took it to the dealer today and they diagnosed it as needing a new throttle body. they quoted the price and labor at $400 for the repair. i've had this car less than 1 year and it only has 49,800 miles on it. if i had been pulling onto a busy street and experienced the same loss of power, it could have been a much more dangerous situation. according to my research, this is a common problem with the 2010 ford fusion, and the replacement part has been redesigned according to the dealer where i took my car for repair.

 When trying to accelerate, rpms would rev to between 4000-5000 but car would not speed up. once it finally started (after three try's), car finally jerked forward and shuddered before speeding up. after driving for about 30 minutes, i then tried to reverse the car and it jerked and grinded extremely hard. smells like something is burning at times. took to dealership twice already, but still having problems.

 I drive approximately 30 miles on the highway to get to work. the day this problem first occurred, i got off the highway and came to a stop sign. i checked for traffic both directions. a car was coming from the left, and i was turning right. i knew with my car's acceleration i had plenty of space to pull out safely (it has a v6 engine, automatic transmission). i hit the gas and pulled out. the car did not accelerate as expected. i barely hit 5 mph and the tachometer redlined. i took my foot off the gas pedal and tried again. same thing - redlined. the third time i tried, the car shuddered and finally shifted to the next gear. the car behind me was far enough away to slow down safely, but in a different situation they could have easily hit me. i just rolled out in front of them because the car didn't respond when i hit the gas. immediately after that incident, i scheduled a service appointment at a ford dealership. the first available appointment was two weeks out. i booked the appointment and continued to (cautiously) drive my car to work. the car ran rough even at constant highway speeds. last night i dropped my car off at the dealership for the service appointment. i took the highway to get there. when i tried to accelerate to merge onto the highway, the problem occurred again. i rolled out into traffic at about 5 mph, hitting the gas pedal and getting nothing. again, i was lucky that there was enough room between me and the approaching traffic. this problem could have easily caused a bad accident. my car is currently at the ford dealership. i'm waiting for them to call back with a diagnosis.

 Driving on the west virginia turnpike at 65-70 mph when the rpm's jumped above 4 and lost all power to the engine. the engine was still running but had no power from the gas pedal to the engine. pulled to the far right side of the road as i was going up hill into the truck lane and then eventually on to the berm as the trucks were now running faster than me going uphill. it was the most dangerous driving situation i have ever been through. i was able to locate a ford dealership on the turnpike where i could leave the car for the necessary repairs. the repairs took a total of 25 days. ford would not provide me with a loaner car as i bought the vehicle used and therefore no rental coverage even though the issue was a known issue due to faulty parts and a poor initial repair by ford. i had to rent a vehicle in west virginia in order to complete my drive home and had to drop the rental in columbus. $185 + gas + deposit and resulting nsf fees in my checking account for a 12 hour car rental that ford would not cover. upon getting my vehicle back it ran smoothly until october of the same year. i took my vehicle to a national chain oil change company who advised that they could see transaxle fluid all the way to the back of the underbody of the vehicle. i took the car to my local ford dealership who found that the repair completed in west virginia did not get the pan sealed properly and the fluid was leaking from the faulty seal, which they repaired but it took them 14 days to do so. fast forward to may and another hard shift with a lurch forward and then no power from the gas pedal to the engine. took it to the local dealership who could find no error codes and could not duplicate the issue. 5/13 - mother's day and it happens again but this time the engine light is now on and the car runs rough. taking to dealership again tomorrow.

 I was driving home and going up a hill when i felt the vehicle slow acceleration and then it revved back up. the transmission/throttle control light came on so i pulled over. i turned the vehicle off and waited for a few minutes. turned the vehicle back on and when i went to accelerate it lurched. i continued driving home and since it was after 9:00 p.m. when i got home, i couldn't take it to the dealership until the next morning. on may 11, 2012 i took it to the dealership and they called to tell me that the vehicle slipped from 4th gear into 5th gear and this should never happen so they were going to have to pull the transmission and i would be without my car for 5-6 days. after research on the internet it appears that several people are having this same issue with the transmission of the 2010 ford fusion.

 2010 ford fusion: while driving at 65mph on a highway with cruise control set the car lost power and stalled. tachometer dropped to 1000 rpms and fluctuated between 500 - 1000 rpms. wrench light (throttle / transmission) illuminated and the car coasted to a crawl at less than 5mph. the car's throttle was unresponsive and i was unable to accelerate. i became a serious rear-end hazard in a construction zone and had to pull off to the side of the road. i put the car in park, restarted it and the car ran fine. i am just barely under warranty (and just bought the car 1 week ago) so i brought it to a ford dealer - they checked the car and found nothing wrong with their computer scan and stated that there was no error code - so there was nothing that they could do. the day after i picked the car up from the dealer the car did the same thing, twice. this time it did it after a cold start in the morning and again when i left work in the afternoon - again the wrench light came on and shut off once i restarted the car. bringing the car in tomorrow again...we'll see what happens. what a safety risk - my wife refuses to drive the car!

 The vehicle was bought 3 weeks ago and noticed shifting issues 1 week after purchase. i took the vehicle in to see what was wrong with it and found that the transmisson fluid was dark black and had a burnt smell. it appears that there were mutiple (updates) needed for transmisson??? also was told that is the normal color of the tranny fluid?? burnt black...

 Driving child to school - car's speed starts declining even though accelerator was been pressed (car should have been going between 50 -55 miles). got car off road. switched car off, waited a couple of minutes and then started car again. drove child to school, called ford dealership and placed car in repair shop. was told that warranty went out 4,000 miles ago and part and labor would cost approximately $300.00 and car should be ready to pick up by 5 p.m. next day. got rental car from dealership and was told later same day car went to shop that throttle control will have to be replaced. unfortunately they didn't have one in stock and it would have to be ordered and hopefully with me paying an expedited delivery charge it would be in the next day if not hopefully within the next day day or 2. now i am stuck with a rental car for approximately 3 more days.

 Traveling highway, going 70 mph the car suddenly jerks and the speed started to decerlate and the wrench light on dash went on. the engine was still on, but zero ability to accerlate. coasted to the side of the road and the rpm's were fluctuating from 0-1 in park. turned the car off for 10 seconds and turned it back on. after turning the key on, the starter sounded like the key was turned with the engine on for about 20 seconds. the second time was going up hill at 20 mph back roads. same thing with no acceleration and the wrench light came on. had to pull over because the car could not move and shut it off. same with the starter for about 20 seconds of it sounding like the key was turning with enginge on after turning it on. incidents are about 1 month and 10 days apart.

 I was driving on interstate 65 in the middle lane when the car quit responding. the rpm gauge was stuck on 1 and pressing the accelerator got no response. i was lucky enough to be able to get over and barely off the side of the road but it was a close call. traffic was pretty heavy. i called aaa towing service for help. after 15 minutes i tried to start the car and it started up normally. i was able to get back into traffic and take the next exit. i drove to the dealer. i purchased the car on february 6, 2012 from town & country ford dealer in louisville, ky and had driven it only 596 miles when this happened. the repair bill to replace the throttle body, intake carb kit and recalibrate processor was $730.29. i didn't have the extended warranty so i had to pay the entire cost of the repair. i asked the dealer if this was a problem with the fusion and was told no it was not.

 The vehicle began to jerk when driving or between automatic shifting. specifically when it shifts into third, it jerks extremely hard. the engine and maintenance light will come on as the vehicle stalls. there is no response from the accelerator and i have to put it in park, stop the car and restart it in order for it to move again. i was almost rear ended due to the vehicle dying in the middle of the street.

 I was in a parking lot turning into a marked parking space, with my foot off of the accelerator, when the accelerator moved forward abruptly. the engine roared as the car accelerated forward, the car jumped the curb and moved forward striking a column supporting the front corner of an office building. the column fell forward coming to rest on my car, inches above my head. i applied the brakes from the moment i first realized what was taking place, but the brakes had no effect. the cost of repairs to my car was over $3000.00, plus the cost to repair the building. i took the car to the dealership where i had purchased it new. the dealer's employees stated that the computer disclosed no problem. they contacted ford engineers who ordered the dealer not to attempt any repairs. ford claimed no knowledge of such a problem ever occurring.

 I have a 2010 ford fusion s, i was driving home for christmas break when my car shut off and had no throttle response. i didn't drive the vehicle for like five days and the car was fine but it started back up in janurary and again in the beginning of march. it has a code of p211 which is the throttle body issue. i have done some research on the problem and multiple ford fusion's are having the same issues as i am. for some reason ford is trying to avoid hearing the issue on the fact that they have faulty throttle bodies. it is a saftey issue when you are traveling down the highway or interstate at 60-70 mph and all of sudden your car no longer has a throttle response. you have to pull off the road shut your car off and restart it. this doesn't fix the problem it just does it all over again within the next mile or two. ford should realize the issue and make a recall for the throttle body. there are people throughout the united states that are paying between $400-$600 out of their pocket if their car is no longer under warranty to fix a common problem that people are having with ford fusions.

 While attempting to pass a vehicle, the transmission completely disengaged from the engine as if it were in neutral leaving me with no power to the wheels. the revs on the engine were extremely high. as i was passing on the left, this left me in an extremely dangerous and vulnerable position as i had no power to move the vehicle. fortunately i was able to coast to the right at which time at a near stop the transmission violently re-engaged. first time, took to the dealership where they reprogrammed transmission. it has since happened again, again while accelerating to pass. it is just a matter of time before this kills someone. it is not safe, dealer claims that they can not reproduce, there are no codes. this issue is well documented here and elsewhere, there needs to be a recall.

 I bought the car with 12000 miles on it and under warranty. at 12750 miles the transmission began to flare from 2nd to 3rd gear and 4th to 5th gear. i took it to the dealer and the transmission was reprogramed and i was told to grive it apx. 250 miles and it would correct itself. at 13150 miles the problem was worse than before so i took it back in. the dealer checked it and said nothing was wrong and that the cold transmission flare was normal. i know that the transmission was not designed to flare until it gets warm. after viewing several hundred complaints on line, all for the same problem, it seems you would requird ford to fix this problem. it is a big time safety hazzard when the car looses power and forward motion in traffic. this defect is a major accident and probably deaths waiting to happen. please do somethig to help all of us since it is evident that ford does not care and will not take it on it's to fix the problem or stand behind their product.

 I was driving on a 6 or 8 lane freeway when it suddenly downshifted to a much lower gear (probably 3rd) and the tachometer maxed at 7000 rpm and held there until i manually moved the shift lever to neutral. when i put it back in drive (still moving) it again raced to 7000 rpm and i put it in neutral and coasted to the side of the road. i put it in all the gears, then in drive and went back on the freeway. it stayed in 1st gear and i again went to the shoulder of the road. i shut the engine off, restarted it and got back on the freeway. it shifted ok, but after a few miles did it again. i sent my complaint to ford motor company, but they say they can't duplicate the actions and therefore can not/will not do anything about it. (see ford customer service case #0506021830 and my letter to them)

 I have a ford fusion with about 35,500 miles. i bought the car used with about 18,000 miles and noticed inconsistant shifting right away. then progressed into not shifting back into gear right away after shifting out of reverse. i took it in and they reprogrammed the transmission and the service supervisor said that this transmission adapts to the owners driving habits. took it in again about a month later and they said the fluid was low; they weren't sure why just filled it and sent me on my way. third time i took it to a different dealership. they had to pull the transmission and replace parts, which took almost a week. it seemed okay at first but now is displaying the same issues as before of not shifting into gears when accellerating. the problem was not fixed and i am left with a vehicle that also had a heater motor replaced that were making a whistling noise, floor heat that barely comes out, car alarm that goes off even when all the doors are unlocked and bright lights that just randomly come on. i dont know if its a lemon, but i smell disaster in the next couple of years! wish ford would do the right thing and stand by its product.

 I have a ford fusion with about 35,500 miles. i bought the car used with about 18,000 miles and noticed inconsistant shifting right away. then progressed into not shifting back into gear right away after shifting out of reverse. i took it in and they reprogrammed the transmission and the service supervisor said that this transmission adapts to the owners driving habits. took it in again about a month later and they said the fluid was low; they weren't sure why just filled it and sent me on my way. third time i took it to a different dealership. they had to pull the transmission and replace parts, which took almost a week. it seemed okay at first but now is displaying the same issues as before of not shifting into gears when accellerating. the problem was not fixed and i am left with a vehicle that also had a heater motor replaced that were making a whistling noise, floor heat that barely comes out, car alarm that goes off even when all the doors are unlocked and bright lights that just randomly come on. i dont know if its a lemon, but i smell disaster in the next couple of years! wish ford would do the right thing and stand by its product.

 At 18540 miles the transmission failed and the dealership had to rebuilt it and reprogram the pcm. then the car was taken back 5 months later with 30100 they had it a week but could not duplicate the problem. we then towed the car to alabama and less then a month later the transmission failed again at 31111 miles at this time it was in the shop 36day the car was pick up and drove 12 miles and the transmission failed again. the dealership then had it another 14 day. a month and a half later the transmission failed again, the dealership had it 3 days. we drove it 35 miles and the transmission failed again and the dealership had it another 17 days.then we had the car for a month and the transmission failed again with 36000 miles on it. the dealership had it for 16 days. ford corp has not allowed the dealership to replace the transmission, but has authorized them to rebuild and reprogram pcm numerous times. we have the car now and it is still not shifting right. we have talk to ford and they will not doing anything for us. told us the car is fixed....or is it. this car has become a safety hazard because you do not know when the transmission is going to fail in heavy traffic and create a dangerous condition. we fear for our safety when we drive this car.

 On september 30th i was driving home and i had only driven less than a mile at approximately 35 miles per hour when the wrench light appeared on my dash and my car quick moving. i was able to get it to move about 1 mile per hour so i got the car off the road and shut it off. it was dark and i was alone. i was going to call aaa for a tow and i decided i would try to start the car and see what would happen. the wrench light was gone and the car was moving like nothing was wrong with it. this happened again on oct 5th and oct 7th during rush hour traffic and both times i was fortunate that i was able to get out of traffic to avoid getting hit both times my speed was approximately 45 mph. i have taken the car to two car repair shops and they can not find any thing wrong with it when they connect it to their dignostic machine. from september to current date the car has done this at least another 10 times. sometimes the speed may be at 55 or 60 miles per hour. i did contact the local ford dealer and i wrote a letter to the ford company neither party has done anything to help me. there is a defective in their product. the local ford dealer suggested it may be value body and throttle body issue. i continue to drive the car to work and back waiting for it to break down or to be killed in an accident when it quits in the middle of a busy highway and i am unable to get out of the line of traffic. so much for the commercial number 1 most dependale car in america . my ford fusion sucks.

 Lost parking function on the transmission. parking function is missing causing the vehicle to move after i park the car. didn't realize until after i parked my car. was walking towards the building that i noticed that the car was rolling back and had to run back, unlock the car and then push the brake. after investigating realized that the p function was missing. did hear a a huge clunking noise when i tried to park in the first place. this is a safety issue and action needs to be taken to address this issue and make ford provide an explanation for the 2.5 l 6f35 transmission. the dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a bad transmission and the parking pawl broken inside the transmission. it was necessary to use parking brake to keep the car steady during parking.

 Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle began to jerk, shake and decelerate abnormally. the contact shut off the vehicle and after restarting, was able to drive without a failure. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

 My car is equipped with the 6f35 6 speed automatic transmission and has been experiencing lingering defects. i took my car in to a ford dealership in late november 2011 and notified them of transmission problems. my invoice reads, reprogram pcm to latest level and reset fluid level per tsb 11-11-23. the problems continue. i will admit that the flaring problem has improved, although the remaining problems persist while the overall feeling of transmission degradation seems to be accelerated. my trans. continues to struggle and feel worn out during low end acceleration. an inspection of my vehicle from a professional mechanic discovered burned up clutch material within the contaminated transmission fluid. he showed it to me, and i saw it with my own eyes. the dealership i was just at wasn't able to find any burned up clutch material in my fluid or the left front axle half shaft seal leak which my mechanic also discovered upon his inspection. i find it very fishy that these 2 problems automatically disappeared by themselves, it seems to me that the field service engineer from ford made repairs to my vehicle while it was in his or her possession during the defendants legal inspection for my lemon law suit at elder ford in troy, michigan. what ford did to my car was illegal, a defendants inspection allows for observation only, not repairs. i continue to experience very hard abnormal shifting while driving in city conditions and an uncontrollable forward lurch/jolt while driving in city conditions which is extremely unsafe. sometimes i will have a delayed engagement into drive. the shuddering vibration coming from the front end of the vehicle after driving the car for a short while continues. i continue to have an intermittent problem dealing with a burning oil or greasy smell coming through the air vents. the abnormal high pitched humming drone sound continues.

 Transmission keeps on lurching forward and dealership cannot do anything about it now. it's a safety issue for me as i almost got into an accident on the street due to huge jump. transmission keeps on acting up and dealer keeps saying everything is fine and cannot duplicate the other since the time they rebuilt the transmission on my vehicle.

 While driving on the interstate on cruise control at 70 mph, the car lost acceleration/power, the wrench light came on and we had to coast to the shoulder of the interstate. came to a stop, and the car idled, but appeared to want to die. car was shutoff and restarted. wrench light went off. we continued on our way without further problems. this is the second time this has happened within a two months. brought the car to the lander's ford dealership in collierville, tn after the first time it happend, but was told they could not duplicate the problem. nothing was done. based on previous reports, this is a common issue and is related to throttle body defect. as noted by others, this power failure is a safety concern and could lead to a serious incident.

 When car is driven for the first time or car has had a few hours to cool off the transmission hesitates to shift from 2-3 and 3-4. usually seams to slip from 3-4.

 I own a v6 2010 ford fusion and on two separate occassions, while driving on the highway at approximate speeds of 65 mph the engine has stalled without warming. at the time the engine stalls, a service light will come on and the car completely shuts down. in both instances, the car could be restarted, and the service light dissapeared upon restart. we have taken it to the dealership after both incidents, and they are unable to identify a fix as the service code is not being stored in events of engine failure (and the light is not staying on after restart). this is an extremely dangerous situation as it has happened without warning, while travelling on major highways at high speeds. i have seen entries from other owners on both the nhsta site and other blogs siting the same problem, yet ford is unwilling to accept that this is a pervasive problem and is not working to find a solution. we have escalated from the dealership up to the corporate ford customer service department with no success.

 I was stopped at a traffic light, it turned green and stepped on the gas pedal and the car immediatley started to rough idle, the wrench indicator lit up and would not move forward. there was minimal response to throttle input. i was able to pull off the road out of traffic to a safe spot. i left the car running to see what was going on. the tachometer was fluctuating mainly downward as it idled rough. after about two minutes i turned off the motor. i made a few phone calls and while calling roadside assit decided to try and start the car. it started and i went straight to the dealership. as fate would have it, the dealership could not duplicate the concern and was not able to pinpoint the cause. they were kind enough to suggest replacing the throttle body and motor assembly. it cost me $512.38. needlessto say i am not at all happy with this issue. this issue could have occured in a more dynamic setting, heavy traffic, lane change or merging, etc, potentially causing threat to my life and that of others. this issue needs to be addressed by the manufacturer in my opinion.

 When i was driving my 2010 ford fusion the wrench light came on and the car lost all power and stalled out. luckily i wasn't in front of a truck or on the freeway. very scary my car only has 15391 miles on it. this car was also leaking oil. i am not happy with this car. when i took it to the dealer this problem didn't show up at first so the service person kept the car longer and finally it did the same thing and lost all power so they replaced the throttle body and replaced the the gasket that was leaking oil. also a few months earlier one of the coils went bad and had to be replaced.

 My 2010 ford fusion has had issues for the last month with the lack of accelerating wuth the check engine light and the wrench light coming on. took it to advanced auto with a code of p2112. took it twice to the ford dealership with the first time the dealer telling me nothing. this happened again while i was driving through an intersection with my two kids in the car and lost almost all power and was nearly hit by an 18 wheeler. dealer said that the throttle body needs to be replaced, will cost me $520 dollars and it isn't covered under my power train warranty. thousands of reported problems with this very same problem with ford not being held responsible for faulty equipment...something needs to be done before someone is hurt or killed.

 While driving my 2010 ford fusion down a very busy main road in atlanta, it died. i was lucky that i was able to get over into the right hand lane without being able to accelerate and get onto a side street to park. the dealer replaced the throddle under warranty, but less than a month later i was getting on a busy freeway here in atlanta. about the same speed, 45mph, it wouldn't accelerate, but this time it did continue running. eventually it picked up again. it is currently back in the shop having the transmission corrected. ford did issue a recall last year which was supposed have corrected this issue, and i did take the car in for the recall when i had only had it for 30 days. that was over a year ago, and it has skipped between 2nd and 3rd gears the whole time which has made me uneasy, but eventually became the norm. anyway, the recall did not correct the issue. my fear is that when i am unable to accelerate, or when the car simply shuts down, i will be rear ended and cause a serious car accident involving others as well as myself. this is my first american brand car and i want to love it, but feeling unsafe driving it is making it difficult. i want this on file because although i have a warranty on my car, i think ford should be correcting the issue for all ford fusion owners since our safety is at risk.

 While driving my 2010 ford fusion down a very busy main road in atlanta, it died. i was lucky that i was able to get over into the right hand lane without being able to accelerate and get onto a side street to park. the dealer replaced the throddle under warranty, but less than a month later i was getting on a busy freeway here in atlanta. about the same speed, 45mph, it wouldn't accelerate, but this time it did continue running. eventually it picked up again. it is currently back in the shop having the transmission corrected. ford did issue a recall last year which was supposed have corrected this issue, and i did take the car in for the recall when i had only had it for 30 days. that was over a year ago, and it has skipped between 2nd and 3rd gears the whole time which has made me uneasy, but eventually became the norm. anyway, the recall did not correct the issue. my fear is that when i am unable to accelerate, or when the car simply shuts down, i will be rear ended and cause a serious car accident involving others as well as myself. this is my first american brand car and i want to love it, but feeling unsafe driving it is making it difficult. i want this on file because although i have a warranty on my car, i think ford should be correcting the issue for all ford fusion owners since our safety is at risk.

 While driving down the interstate in rush hour traffic, my 2010 fusion (35,265 mi) lost acceleration. jerked car into the median and put into park, it immediatley becan idling very rough and almost sputtering to cut off. the wrench light displayed. i cut the car off and let it sit for a moment and then cut the car back on. i pressed the gas and the cars rpm shot up to over 5000 rpm. it then idled normally and i mergered back in traffic just hoping to get it to my office. i made it another 2-3 miles and it did it again, this time both the engine light and wrench lit up. i immediatley cut it off, restarted it and it seemed fine. i decided to get off at the exit i was close too and park the car as i knew i was going to cause a major accident if i did not get it off the road. i came to the top of the exit ramp and sat in traffic for a few minutes, the car seemed okay, no rough idle nothing strange except the engine light was still displayed. i merged into traffic off the ramp and in the middle of the road same thing occured, no acceleration, i had my foot to the floor. i got it into a parking lot and called the dealership. i had the car towed in got a loaner to drive into work. the ford dealership called about an hour later and said the car is fixed and i can come get it. they said their was an issue in my electronic throttle body and they have replaced the throttle body. i love this car but at 35,000 miles i should not have already had a bad battery and now this issue. i am starting to not trust the car. i hope the issue is fixed, but i am almost scared to go pick it up tonight. i had no idea of these issues until i looked it up online after the this morning.

 Transmission slips and shifts hard in low gears. ford has replaced several transmission components but the problem still persists. i fear i may crash into the rear of another car when this occurs. recently a new problem has developed at high speeds where the transmission does not shift and runs at 4500 rpm for 20-30 seconds. ford says nothing is wrong despite me sending a video of the console when this happens.

 Transmission still slipping from 2nd to 3rd gear after rebuild. this car is not safe.
09/01/201156000
 This problem is due to a faulty transmission or transmission components, as outlined by ford recall 10b15. the car jerks/slips and it feels as if the gears are not catching upon acceleration. i received the 'recall' letter from ford describing this program, and immediately brought the car to the dealership. they preformed the module recalibration and told me everything was fine. however, 40,000 later, my transmission started exhibiting the problems described above and ford is now replacing my entire transmission, although not paying for the rental car.

 I previously sent a complaint because my car kept stalling, wrench light would come on, but when i turned car off then turned on, it would run, but then they couldn't get the codes. based on my internet research, looks like 2010 fusions are having this problem between 30,000 and 50,000 and it is always the throttle body that needs to be replaced. the dealership would not replace the throttle body because the codes were not coming up. i just wanted to give you an update, i purchased my own code reader and after my car died in the middle of the road (very dangerous) three more times, was finally able to get the code myself. i brought it to the dealership and with the code they were finally able to look it up.....and it was the throttle body....just like i told them since every 2010 ford fusion between this mileage is have the same problem. since this is obviously a defect on this car and is dangerous because car stalls in middle of traffice, it needs to be recalled! i don't want anyone to go through what i went through, and i would love to get reimbursed for the money i had to pay on fords defect. thank you

 Just starting off from a traffic light the car started to stall. the car was towed to montrose ford where they determined a part in the transmission failed. the part was ordered and replaced a few days later. on the 16th of september while driving the brakes failed. the car was taken to ganley ford on the 19th of sept. they initially determined it was a transmission problem, exactly the same problem that was repaired in august. on the 21st of sept. the maintenance people drove the car with a computer connected to analyze what was happening but found nothing wrong. now they say the problem is hydraulic related but will need to keep the car for at least 30 days to solve the problem. at this time they have no idea what is really wrong. inside the car is an intermittent noise. it can only be heard when just starting out or at very slow speeds. ganley ford has no idea where this noise is coming from.

 I purchased a 2010 ford fusion with 24,000 miles in january 2011. i began having issues with transmission almost immediately. the transmission will frequently slip while taking off and shifts very hard at times. i will also slip when driving at higher road speeds causing the rpm's to rev but the car will not accelerate. recently, i was driving approximately 50 mph on a busy highway when the car stalled and the wrench light came on. the engine was running but the car would not accelerate. once i got pulled over, the rpm's bounced up and down rapidly. the car has been in the shop approximately 9 times so far. they replicated the issue once and transmission repairs were made but the issue continued. it is still under warranty but ford will not authorize any additional repairs since they haven't replicated the issue again. i just learned that this is a common issue with the ford fusion and that the 10b15 recall was performed on the vehicle just before i purchased it. after additional research, findings indicate that the recall has not corrected the issue in many cases. i do not feel safe when driving this vehicle and it is very disappointing to learn that ford will not take appropriate actions to provide reliable vehicles to their customers.

 Tl-the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the check engine light would illuminate on the instrument panel and the vehicle would stop accelerating. in order to correct the failure, the contact would stop the vehicle and shut it off. upon restart, the vehicle would operate as normal. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop and the contact was informed that the traction control system needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 46,000. kmj

 When i go to shift from 1at to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, etc, it seems like the car is not registering the change in gears. as soon as i shift and attempt to continue accelorating, the engine will rev up too fast and then drop down and rev up normally. whenever i attempt to use cruise control, going up a hill cause the engine to rev to quick again, shutting off cruise control. my car is 10 months old with just 23,000 miles (5700 of which were on it before i bought it) and the dealership i took it to is trying to tell me that it's normal wear and tear, and that the clutch and clutch plate need to be replaced. they're also saying it's not covered under warranty and that it will cost me $1300 + tax to repair. i don't drive this car hard, nor do i do any type of racing or mods to it. it's a car i use for work mainly. there is absolutely no reason the clutch should have to be replaced so soon. there are numerous sites with this same issue with similar fusions. point is, i'm not paying for this repair.

 My car has went out 3 times in ine week twice on the freeway with oncoming traffic. it slows down then a wrench symbol comes on. i purchased my vehicle 3 weeks ago. took it back to the dealer and was told by the service dept that i need to have the rthrottle body repaired,. they ordered the part and said i need to pay $100 deductible. i just purchased this car i shouldnt have to pay anything if it would have been checked out correctly i wouldnt have had this problem. they also told me i need a new battery!! three weeks after i purchased it!! this should have been replaced by them for free, they said i would need to buy a new battery and it would be $109.00 more plus the deductible. i am very disappointed in this car. i love the way it looks but am so unsatisfied with the performance. if i get into an accident i hold ford co completely responsible for any damages, as i see they have had many complaints and they are not doing anything about it. i am looking into an attorney because this car should not be sold if it has this defect, it is putting peoples lives in danger!! what are they waiting for to see how many deaths will occur before they let people know not to buy it. i plan on telling everyone not to purchase i ford. i should have purchased a honda/like before.

 This is the 4 cylinder version of the 2010 fusion. since the car was only a few months old, the transmission has been slipping in low gear. as the mileage has gone up it has occurred more often but mainly in low gears. the problem has been that it does not set off any service lights so they had not been able to find anything to fix. after driving the car for about a year, it finally happened at high speed and turned on the service light. it was bad enough that i had to pull off the road. by this time, the transmission was damaged and they had to rebuild many of the parts. ford knew this was occurring and had a bulletin all about it. this shows that prior to the rebuild, ford already knew the transmission has had issues. prior to the rebuild, the transmission had been through multiple tests, a reprogramming of the transmission, and other changes to the transmission from their technical service bulletins. i did open a case with ford customer service. they admitted to me that the transmission has had issues in other cars and they are working on how to resolve them. soon after i was told that, i was assigned to a different customer service representative who denied this fact. after a few months more, i got a call from ford stating that they have no idea how to fix the problem so they are just closing the case with no resolution. i asked for a replacement transmission and they have said no. if you look in the forums for the 2010 ford fusion 4 cylinder, you will see how common the issue is. on top of all this, my gas mileage has dropped since the rebuild of the transmission.

 There was a recall on the 2010 ford fusion transmissions. i took the car in on 12/31/10 to automax ford, killeen, tx. they told me that nothing was wrong with it and it is fine. on 3 august 2011 my car felt like it did a downshift while going down the highway. at this point my accelerator fails to work. the car is not in any gear and even when i give the car gas the engine will not rev. i then have to come to a complete stop and put the car in park. while in park the car idles really heavy like and stuttters to keep going so i have to turn the car off. when i turn the car back on it will turn over about 6 or 7 times before it starts. i have to do this process every time the car does this which has been about 6 times in the past two days. the incident happens on the highway and in regular city driving. i believe automax ford has failed to do the inspection right and now the recall letter is expired as of april 2011. i was also deployed overseas during that time period of expiration.

 We had a problem with a transmission leak early on due to a bad seal in the trans axle. it was replaced and all seemed well fro awhile. then we started to experience problems with the transmission slipping between 2nd and 3rd gears. took it to the dealership and they said it was a computer problem that need an update and that it should be ok now. it happened again at a later date. technician took it for a drive and then told my wife that there was nothing wrong, that is the way it's supposed to shift. at times it jerks really bad when shifting. not sure if the transmission problem can affect my fuel in-efficiency but, the car is far from the mileage advertised for this make. transmission problem is intermittent at this point. i'm afraid we are going to get pushed right through our warranty period, then that is when they will find the problem! we have insisted on a new transmission from the start, just to be stopped dead in our tracks with a flat refusal. hoping i can unload this car before something big happens. seems a shame that ford is the only automaker to keep it's head above water and not have to be bailed out. the sooner they admit they have a problem here and rectify it the better for everyone. if not, ford will join the others as a modern american failure! if you have any problem like this please post it right away! in the meantime, we are shopping for a nice solid japanese model.

 We had a problem with a transmission leak early on due to a bad seal in the trans axle. it was replaced and all seemed well fro awhile. then we started to experience problems with the transmission slipping between 2nd and 3rd gears. took it to the dealership and they said it was a computer problem that need an update and that it should be ok now. it happened again at a later date. technician took it for a drive and then told my wife that there was nothing wrong, that is the way it's supposed to shift. at times it jerks really bad when shifting. not sure if the transmission problem can affect my fuel in-efficiency but, the car is far from the mileage advertised for this make. transmission problem is intermittent at this point. i'm afraid we are going to get pushed right through our warranty period, then that is when they will find the problem! we have insisted on a new transmission from the start, just to be stopped dead in our tracks with a flat refusal. hoping i can unload this car before something big happens. seems a shame that ford is the only automaker to keep it's head above water and not have to be bailed out. the sooner they admit they have a problem here and rectify it the better for everyone. if not, ford will join the others as a modern american failure! if you have any problem like this please post it right away! in the meantime, we are shopping for a nice solid japanese model.

 While driving down a very busy road at 45 mph, my accelerator cut out, reducing engine power to idle and causing me to almost be hit by 3 different vehicles while trying to find a place to stop. i had my wife and my infant son in the car. this was unacceptable for a vehicle this new! the maintenance light (wrench) came on..but went off after i shut the vehicle down and restarted, to which the car then ran normal. i then had it accelerate uncommanded, at that point a shut it down and had it towed to the dealership. i am waiting to hear what they say about it. 37,000 miles seems terribly low to be having these types of issues it is a 2010 ford fusion se 3.0l, and i am not happy!
07/02/2010
 To begin with i was only having problems when shifting from reverse to forward. i took my car in for the recall and i am still having problems: my car will jerk violently and then slow down to 0. the wrench light comes on and sometimes the transmission light. it has happened going slow as in making a turn, going fast, and going slow in a straight pattern. i have documented the gas because the service tech said it might not be the transmission but something with the fuel. it happens on full, 3/4, half and a quarter of a tank, early morning, after i have driven it for a while. yesterday it happened 4 times in 4 miles each time i have to shut the engine off, which apparently resets it, because the lights will go off, but then come on when it happens again. this car is dangerous to drive, someone is going to be killed. i have advised my family that if i am rear-ended and death occurs to seek legal council. the service people say they can not do anything unless they can get the car to mimic the problem, or something shows up on the computer. meanwhile this is my only means of transportation, i also use my car everyday for business. they have not provided me with an alternate means of transportation yet want to keep my car for 4 days. please do something, there are complaints all over the internet, i am sure you would have more complaints if people knew about you. can you pull ford's service records to get a more accurate record of the magnitude of problems. do something before someone dies.

 Own a 2010 ford fusion se with 24v 3.0 v6 with 6 speed select shift transmission. when car was new, had hard shifts, and in mid 2010 ford issues a recall to reprogram these issues. after this repair, dealership stated they ran a load test and the transmission was fine. in late 2010, the hard shifts returned and the dealership reprogrammed the transmission. in late june 2011 while on a road trip, received a transmission/drive train code (the wrench symbol) but no noticeable issues. approximately one week later, started getting hard shifts. the next day, as i was pulling on a major road way, the transmission dropped out of gear, engine acted it was in neutral, and the car came to a complete stop. when i was able to get the car moving, it was revving poorly, shifting extremely hard, and had a terrible vibration. had the car at the dealership for two days, they had a very hard diagnosing the issue (even though the system sent codes). they reprogrammed the transmission, and said the issue was fixed. today, five days later, the issues returned, but worse. every time the vehicle was at a stop, as you would begin to accelerate, the car would shudder and rev to 7000 rpm. you have to completely let off the throttle, and once it would drop to about 1500 rpm, and the transmission would reengage. in gear 5 or 6 at speed, it would try and down shift and would kick out of gear and rev to close to red line. i was almost rear ended on several occasions today as i was trying to get the vehicle home. as i've researched the issue, this seems to be a common issue with several near accidents.

 Engine hesitates from a stop and bucks and jerks while driving. hard pick-up. rpm's up to max without vehicle acceleration. feels like transmission slips into neutral. first visit, 5/18/2010 (8767 miles-bought new at 15 miles-10/10)/ presently, july, 2011, car with 22,000 is in for 4th return to dealer: 10/2010 car 1 year old, 14,000 miles, local oil repair shop notices both lower ball joints boots split, returned to dealer to resolve. still hesitating and jerking and bucking, particularly during gear shifts. second visit, 11/2010 returned for same driving problems. third visit 6/30/11 service shop notices leak under carriage, returned to dealer. service manager and i check under carriage, still obvious leak, he told me it wasn't a leak, we both had grease/oil/something on our hands. refused to extend rental car coverage as car is completely fixed, left with car, wrote on ticket, leak still unresolved. returned for forth visit 7/8/2011 admits leak somewhere. also, sealant around windshield melts and becomes tacky in hot weather (texas). had dealer reseal last summer. now, area is getting tacky again. will this occur each summer and will seal hold during hard rain?

 While traveling at highway speed on a 4-lane divided highway, a slow-moving vehicle merged in front of our fusion forcing a hard braking event (there was somebody coming up from behind in the left lane, preventing a lane change at that instant). the fusion was slowed down to 50-55 mph as the car from behind passed. this allowed a lane change to avoid hitting the car that pulled in front to begin with. however, in order to keep up with the flow of traffic, 100% accelerator pedal was required. as the fusion accelerated up to near the original speed, there was a whining sound coming from under the hood, then a violent jolt. this jolt severely shook the car, caused a sudden deceleration and to swerve on the highway. luckily, my wife was able to keep control of the car. the seat belt grabbed. had my wife not been wearing the seat belt, she is convinced that she would have been thrown into the steering wheel. the car was taken to a nearby ford dealership. no problems were found. (however, a fault code specific to hybrid vehicles was logged in the pcm memory.) this appears to be a continuation of the transmission problems this car has been experiencing since the day after i purchased the car in august, 2010 - and ford has been unable to correct. this vehicle has been into the ford dealer numerous times for transmission issues. the car is now at my local dealership.

 This vehicle was recalled for a known transmission issue in june 2010. ford appears to have reprogrammed the computer to change shift points. shifting is smoother but still it does not perform like a normal ford transmission (i have driven fords since 1964). time out of service was one day. jan 20, 2011

 This vehicle has been serviced nine times at dealer with symptoms of transmission slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear. it continues to do the same with harsh transmission engagements, slipping causing rpm's greater than 5000. a vehicle event recorder was installed into the vehicle and problem identified. valve body has been cleaned, new transmission solenoid, re-flashed 2 times with no changes. ford customer service involved from beginning. at one point received call from customer service district manager stating it is normal for the car to shift this way and there is no problem even after the problem has been identified. this continues to be a huge safety issue as the car slips at any time in any traffic. there has not been a solution to fix this problem nor any guarantee. something has to be done to fix the problem that affects many owners with this 6 speed automatic transmission. previous complaint odi 10369166.

 I purchased my vehicle on may 15, 2010. the vehicle began to stall almost 1 month later at 2100 miles. i was coming to a stop at a red light when i noticed that my vehicle had lost all power when i began to apply the brake. i took the vehicle into the dealer and they told me that they were not able to replicate the problem and no codes were showing up when diagnosed. after the first time the vehicle stalled on me i started to notice an acceleration problem prior to the vehicle stalling again. it feels like the vehicle is not shifting gears correctly when i'm pressing the gas for acceleration. the vehicle has trouble accelerating properly and i fear that i may get rear ended. when the vehicle stalls it does not give me any warning signs and just looses power. i have to turn off the ignition and turn it back on. the vehicle starts up right away like if nothing happened. meanwhile i loose power in the middle of the freeway or on the street, fearing that i will get rear ended. the vehicle has stalled on me numerous times and each time i take it into the dealer they are not able to replicate the problem. the dealer placed a flight recorder to monitor the vehicle and they still weren't able to capture anything when the vehicle stalled, so they say. i have contact ford corporation and have notified them of the problem but they are not working to fix the problem. they keep changing me from dealer to dealer and they have not sent out a ford technician as promised to look at the vehicle. this is a huge safety concern that ford is not addressing. i have put in numerous calls to ford corporation and they have not fixed the problem to this day.

 While under normal driving conditions and habits, we experienced a complete instrument cluster failure in our 2010 ford fusion hybrid this past saturday, feb 20. 2010. during the same incident we experienced a symptom of diminished power while accelerating as well as overly sensitive and /or mushy brakes. there have been other reported instances where the brake system has glitched as well during regenerative braking causing an abrupt application of hydraulic system over riding the regenerative system, brake system continues to have issues even after recall repair reprogramwas performed. we have had several instrument cluster glitches while driving the vehicle since purchase date of october 26, 2009. first incident was reported october 27, 2009. several. instrument cluster resets while driving since purchase date. first incident reported same date as previous.. on february 22, 2010 car stalled for no reason while driving 45mph in traffic to dealership to have instrument cluster and other issues addressed. restarted when car came ro a complete stop and placed in park. car is at dealer now and no codes were reported in systems. ford engineers state that with no codes reported there can't be any problems. *tr

 2010 ford fusion sel. customer writes in regards to continued transmission problems.*smd the consumer stated the transmission would slip harshly and hesitate on acceleration. the recall repair did not correct the transmission problems. it was determined that the valve body and solenoid body were defective. also, one of the tires was leaking air, there was an issue with the traction and brakes. there were noises coming from the front of the vehicle. the steering wheel would not lock into place, the cd player did not work at times, the driver side visor did not stay in place, the gas over flow tube was inoperative, the vehicle would pull hard when the brake was applied. the rear driver's side door had to be slammed extremely hard, in order to close it. the driver's side seat belt was backwards. the passenger side windshield wiper dragged on the windshield and the vehicle would sometimes surge on its own. each time the consumer went to the dealer about certain problems, she was told no problems were found.

 The automatic transmission in my 2010 fusion se shifts erratically in the low gears. the vehicle is still under warranty so i took it to the ford stealership. i had pulled the transmission dipstick and noticed that the fluid was greyish black colored. they told me that the fluid was supposed to be that color. i asked them to get a brand new quart of the mercon lv fluid, and proved it was a dark red. i talked them in to replacing the transmission fluid for free. i swear the dealerships lie through their teeth to keep from doing anything for free under warranty. the vehicle still shifts funny; in the first two gears it feels like it slips even though it really isn't slipping. its just a choppy shift of gears. they said the way it shifts is normal, however, when i asked them to put that in writing and sign it, they wouldn't do it. the response was it has a 60k mile power train warranty. way to change the subject! appears to me that ford and its crooked dealerships are quick to sell you a car, but slow to take care of you after the sale. (if they take care of you at all that is.) i think mike rowe should tell people this on the ford tv commercials.

 Ford 6f35 transmission has dead spots, jerkiness and hard shifting since i owned the car. at 56,500 miles, transmission fluid was found to be leaking from the drive shaft axle and that had to be replaced under warranty. the transmission in this car is defective and should be replaced.

 The transmission slams into reverse when cold, slips between gears, seems to pop into neutral, rpm shoots to over 4000, slams back into gear so hard you'd swear the car has been rear-ended. the wrench warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. the dealer performed tsb to reflash the pcm computer--didn't help. the car did the same thing as i drove it home from the dealer. this is in no way a complaint about our dealer. this service department always gives us great service, and are willing to do anything they can to help us, but what are they supposed to do? they didn't design or build this monstrosity. they are in contact with ford factory engineers to try to solve this problem, but no answers are forthcoming. we are afraid to stray far from home with this fusion. if we can't just go anywhere we want with the car, what good is it to us? the internet is awash with horror stories about this defective transmission. this is a known issue. as of this writing, there are over 60 complaints on this nhtsa site about this exact problem. how many more are needed before the agency takes some action?

 I have a 2010 ford fusion 4cyl automatic with 20k miles. i have had transmission issues since i purchased this car in 2010. i am experiencing choppy and jerky shifting. when driving at low speeds in traffic the car will shift and jerk forward. also, when shifting from reverse to forward, the car will sometimes violently jerk forward. i took the car in about 8 months ago and the technician couldn't get the issues to repeat and told me there was nothing wrong. i am now complaining since i noticed this is a well known issue and ford is ignoring it.

 While driving on the highway, my car suddenly slipped gears on its own and started to slow down and the wrench light was illuminated. i was nearly rear ended and i had my children in the car with me.i managed to make it to the emergency lane and at that point the car thrusted forward and jerked. i put it in park and turned it off and back on and light was gone. the next day while driving to work on highway again, same problem. i took it to local ford that evening only to get a phone call that they cant duplicate the problem. i told them of the numerous complaints i found online about this problem and that i didnt feel safe leaving the lot.they said they havent heard of any complaints nor any tsbs on this car! i sent them a link to this website and told them to read it. currently they have not called me back with an answer. i bought this car with about 25,000 miles on it 3 months ago and currently i am at 29,700. i surely didnt expect to have a major issue like this. i own another ford which has lasted well over 200k miles but i have never been placed in danger with any vehicle like this. the dealerership told me when the car does that it goes into limp mode for safety' reasons. i dont see how safe that can be if you cause a pile up on the freeway. my question i am waiting to ask them is even if they drove my car and got the same issue, if the read out on machine doesnt tell them whats wrong, how are they to fix it? will they still say nothing was wrong becasue they computer can't duplicate it? or do they think i like being without a vehicle and wasting everyones time?

 Erratic shifting. slipping clutches. holds onto gears with no shift. acceleration hesitation. extreme at times. twice, while attempting to accelerate and merge onto expressway, the engine dropped to almost idle for over a second. when the engine did catch it went to red line so quickly had to let up on the accelerator. this further confused the trans. nearly got rear ended but was not only because of the quick reaction of the other drivers. software has been reloaded twice. not any better. ford keeps promising a fix is coming. been waiting over a year.

 Transmission is acting very erratic. the transmission flares causing rpms to go up quickly regardless of throttle position. it also shudders while driving highway speeds, almost as if searching between gears while maintaining a steady speed. also, it shifts very roughly, comparable to an inexperienced driver operating a manual transmission, and these abrupt shifts cause the car to want to accelerate. i have heard reports of people having the transmission completely fail while cruising at highway speeds, and being a father of two little ones, want to see to it this problem gets fixed. ford denies there are any problems, yet a bit of research shows there are multiple lemon law suits against the 2010 ford fusion. i have not yet taken it to a dealership as i have heard there really is no solution to the problems, and those who have have not seen any improvement. in fact, many have reported complete transmission failure from the so-called fixes.

 Transmission is acting very erratic. the transmission flares causing rpms to go up quickly regardless of throttle position. it also shudders while driving highway speeds, almost as if searching between gears while maintaining a steady speed. also, it shifts very roughly, comparable to an inexperienced driver operating a manual transmission, and these abrupt shifts cause the car to want to accelerate. i have heard reports of people having the transmission completely fail while cruising at highway speeds, and being a father of two little ones, want to see to it this problem gets fixed. ford denies there are any problems, yet a bit of research shows there are multiple lemon law suits against the 2010 ford fusion. i have not yet taken it to a dealership as i have heard there really is no solution to the problems, and those who have have not seen any improvement. in fact, many have reported complete transmission failure from the so-called fixes.

 I bought my 2010 ford fusion approximately 18 months ago, have had the transmission broken down, rebuilt reprogrammed and am now being told they can find nothing wrong with my car. however, seeing how i am the one who has narrowly escaped several highly dangerous collisions on both streets and highways i find it really hard to believe nothing is wrong with my transmission. while driving the transmission will get stuck while shifting from one gear to the next, usually but not limited to 2nd, 3rd & 4th gear and will sometime slip gears when transitioning from reverse to drive. i have taken my car in four times now and am continually told they can find nothing wrong with the transmission. these highly dangerous transmission misfires happen every day i drive my car, no matter the driving condition.

 Tl-the driver owns a 2010 ford fusion. the driver stated the vehicle would shake violently while accelerating from a stop and rpms would also increase. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 20,400. sm.

 Transmission failure and issue persists. occasionally, when accelerating from a stop or a low speed, the transmission will slip and catch violently. the whole car surges and jerks forward causing the tires to chirp. if this were to happen on a day with inclement weather, the car could lose control and cause an accident. ford rebuilt the transmission in summer of 2010 after finding burnt clutch plates. ford has not repaired the original issue after taking the vehicle in 7 times. also, every time the transmission jerks, burning transmission fluid is smelled inside the car through the ac vents. ford claims it is leftover fluid from previous repairs, but after 6 months, the smell is still there

 2010 ford fusion transmission flares and hard shifts. have had the car in twice for the same problems including leaking trans fluid from the left front half-shaft. recently the wrench light cam on at the end of a 900 mile trip but went off a day later. i have had a half shaft, clutch, related seals and bushings (took 10 days to repair) replaced before the car reached 21,000 miles. there is a wide spread problem with eh 6f35 transmission used in multiple ford cars and trucks. ford covered the cost of repairs under warranty and only paid for a rental because i bought an extended warranty at purchase. ford is at a loss how to fix these 6f35 transmission problems and is deliberately vague when questioned. i spent $25,000 on this car and am worried about it's safety and durability. i think ford is hoping the warranty runs out before the transmission completely fails. the 6f35 transmissions need replaced. not more computer pcm flashes. i read that on some of the 6f35 transmissions had bore holes manufactured incorrectly. i think ford is trying to cover up this problems and trying cheap fixes that don't resolve the issue. owners all over the internet are having similar issues.

 I bought a slightly used (it was a dealer auto) 2010 ford fusion sel. since i first purchased in february 2010, i have experienced very jerky and uneven shifting. i even brought the car back after owning it for about 1 week, but the dealer monaco ford in ct talked me into keeping the car, saying that it is different type of engine (6 cylinder) than i was used to. but it felt wrong and always has. then, i got a recall notice in the mail or service notice notifying me of transmission problems with the make/model of my car. it came from ford and i was instructed to bring the car in for service. i did, but nothing changed. i learned to live with it, but over the past month, the car has become worse and worse - shifting has become so jerky that i experienced severe jolts and whiplash about 5 times. i brought the car in on march 7, 2011 and the transmission is damaged due to a broken front axle seal - i looked online and this seems to be related to the problems with my make/type of vehicle. i need help - i can't afford to keep a car that is not safe. the dealer told me it is not safe to drive and all reports i have read state that these problems are often not fixable - with one problem after another recurring with the transmissions in the affected vehicles. as i bought the car slightly used, i don't think i can sue through the lemon law. i need help!

 Transmission had to be rebuilt around 20,000 miles. after it was rebuilt the car had no power so they reprogrammed it for the 6th time with the third different program. now drives worse than ever. routinely shifts between 5000 and 6000 rpm. gas mileage has decreased. i was told the new program is designed to make the car shift higher so the clutch doesn't burn out again.

 Ford fusion 2010 - automatic transmission failure - can not trust this car to work properly - hard shifting - lurching forward - transmission tripping over itself like a 13 year old car at 1 month - 2 months acceleration problems - 3 months lurching forward and not moving when put into reverse - 6 months out of the blue violent shaking of the vehicle as if a wheel was about to fall off. at 6 months old that car is behaving mechanically worse than a 13 year old car - this car is unsafe - seriously thinking about dumping it back at the dealership as it is a lease. 31,000 km is when the violent shaking at higher speeds began (out of the blue) -

 I am experiencing chronic shifting problems with the 6f35 transmission. this transmission suffers from slipping gears, shift flares, harsh shifting, and funny shifting that will be followed by an uncontrolable forward lurch. the dealership determined that my valve body failed at 3,744 miles and proceeded to replace the valve body and solenoid assembly. then at 4,526 miles i had the recall 10b15 powertrain control module reprogramming performed on my car. next, at 4,727 miles the dealer informed me that my car passed the transmission load test. at 9,181 miles the dealership verified my shift flaring problem. they reflashed my pcm with an updated software program. trans tech drove vehicle and the trans continued to flare. the dealer then removed my transmission and mounted to the bench for overhaul. the dealer discovered that my valve body had 3 melted bolts, my valve body was damaged, and that my clutches had burned out. the dealer proceeded to install a new valve body, forward clutch, overdrive clutch, piston, seals, and gaskets. at 9,702 miles my car returned to the dealership for shifting problems and poor overall transmission operation. i was told by the dealership that everything was normal at this time. i believe that i was told this because there are no more repairs available at this time. i am sick and tired of ford giving everyone the run around on these transmissions. they need to man up and let people know what is really going on. my transmission continues to experience shift flaring, violent downshift slams, erratic shifting, delayed shifting, forward lurches, and struggles on takeoff. with every repair attempt the overall performance of this transmission worsens every time. it shifts as though it was designed by a bunch of ametures. i no longer feel safe driving my car due to the uncontrollable forward lurches and extended delayed shift where the car won't move for a few seconds. please fix this before someone gets killed or injured!

 On oct 24, 2010 while driving approximately 75-80 mph (left lane) of a major freeway, tachometer reved to 4,000 rpm and stuck there. vehicle rpm's would not go up or down and transmission appeared to be slipping in 6th gear. this incident occurred at 27,522 miles. managed to get car to side of road, where rpm's returned to normal for idling condition. at this point, the little wrench light appeared on the dash. the car was shut off and restarted in an attempt to reset the code. all appeared well, and i proceeded to re-enter the freeway. at approximately 27,533 miles (11 miles later), the vehicle experienced the same thing. please note that on june 14, 2010 the vehicle was taken to dealership and the customer satisfaction program (program number 10b15) was performed on vehicle (mileage: 19,936 miles). as it appears that something is majorly wrong with this transmission, the vehicle was once again taken to the dealership (oct. 29, 2010: mileage: 27,760 miles) to have this issue re-evaluated. at this time, the dealership performed tsb 10-21-9. there was a noticeable difference in the shift quality of the vehicle. this same problem occurred again on dec. 1, 2010 (mileage: 30,138 miles) while driving 70 mph; the transmission appeared to slip and rpm's reved up to 4,000 rpm. the vehicle has not been taken back to the dealership at this time as problem is not reproducible and is unpredictable. this is a potential safety hazard as transmission could fail at any time while traveling on the freeway.

 Within two weeks of the april, 2010 purchase date, we noticed transmission problems in our 2010 ford fusion (6f35 transmission) on a cold start, namely rough shifting, transmission slipping, engine revving excessively but the car not accelerating, and the vehicle lurching forward before slamming into gear. normally, after the engine warms, the transmission smooths out and we do not experience further problems that day. however, one episode, which recently occurred after we had driven the car continuously for 180 miles, leads us to believe that we simply cannot trust the vehicle to transport us safely. when we took off in heavy traffic after stopping for a red light, the transmission seemed to shift into neutral. after several seconds, the car slammed into gear. we were lucky to avoid being hit from the rear. the vehicle has been in for multiple transmission repair attempts--including pcm reprogramming, replacement of valve body, and rebuilding the transmission. on the last repair attempt, ford brought in a field service engineer who again captured the problem. yet the flaring continues. we can replicate it every day by driving the vehicle cold and accelerating normally from 0 to 55 mph on the first shifting sequence. we are convinced that a major design flaw exists in the transmission of the 2010 ford fusion. ford needs to address this serious safety issue immediately!
09/28/20109500
 My 2010 ford fusion sel is in the shop for the 4th time due to transmission issues. the first time was based on my observation that something was wrong with the reverse gear. the dealer could find nothing. then several weeks later we received a service bulletin that something needed to be reprogrammed to fix a reverse issue--surprise! 2nd visit to service. since then, the transmission has had hard shifts from 2nd to 3rd (around 25 mph) and sometimes it feels like the gears are slipping. was in shop for the 3rd time for 5 days but they could not re-create the problem, car returned and the same problem has continued. today, the car stopped accelerating while on the road, started to idle roughly and shudder and then the wrench light came on. dealer claims it is a defective throttle body.

 2010 ford fusion reference odi # 10351655 since the first registered complaint of rough and erratic shifting (odi 10351655) my transmission has completely failed. the ford service manager where we are waiting repair said he had not seen one in such a physical state, anything that could have melted was melted. ford has a problem with this tranmission as it is recommended for recreational towing. the unit had been adjusted and fixed twice before according to ford specifications and the information in bulliten (ford tsb 09-20-13) was followed. while traveling at a speed of approximately 62 mph the transmission malfunctioned and became totally disabled. if we weren't towing this vehicle securely behind a motorhome but rather driving at that rate and the cars transmission self-destructs what possible damage to life and property might have occurred???? this faulty transmission is not the only isolated incident! other dealers have been waiting for weeks for replacement parts to rebuild transmissions as a remedy to the problem. i've been assured that i will be receiving another transmission (possibly a remanufactured unit) that has received modifications for flat/ recreational towing. i would hope your agency investigates this situation thoroughly before anyone is seriously injured or killed as a result of a malfunctioning transmission in the ford fusion and 2009-2010 escape along with the mercury 2010 milan and 2009-2010 mariner. i was also lead to believe that ford had distributed information through their fmc dealer network concerning the remanufactured transmission units that had been modified for flat towing. if this information is not released publically anyone is at risk, whether driving the vehicle or traveling on the roadways along with vehicles that have the defective transmissions. please contact me at 610-739-2514 regarding this matter.

 My car went to a ford dealership back in april of 2010 to have recall 10b15 (powertrain control module reprogramming) performed. ever since the recall has been performed the car is experiencing a problem with a pause in acceleration around 25 mph. whenever i am driving at or just around 25 mph in city driving conditions the car will experience a long delay between the time i push the gas pedal and the the time it actually takes the car to move forward. there have been several occurrences where i have almost been rear ended due to my car not moving forward immediately like it is suppose to during normal gas pedal operation. my car was taken back to the same dealership regarding this problem and after test driving they said the car was working properly at this time. i wish a recall would be forced upon ford to remedy this problem before someone gets injured or killed!

 Incident: 2010 ford fusion, 4 cyl, 6 spd auto. vehicle experiencing harsh shifting at low speeds or initially shifting into gear. violent shifting when accelerating to enter a highway. high rpms when resuming the 60 mph set cruise control speed from 35 mph, the transmission cannot seem to finally shift into 6 spd. the vehicle computer has been reset by ford service and the problem has gotten worse. the car is again being looked at by ford. service manager commented that the computer remedy might not work if not done prior to 7000 miles. why then has ford waited to inform owners about their known transmission problem? ford needs to take responsibility and work with the transmission supplier to remedy and replace the defective transmissions. transmission breakdowns will become move prevelant as more of these highly touted vehicles are sold and driven if ford doesn't own up to the problem. please interceed on behalf of consumers that own these vehicles and have had no luck with ford fixing the problematic transmission. i presently have 13000+ miles on the car and purchased it to provide safe transportation and ford assured me it could be recreationally towed with no problems as long as the manual instructions were followed.

 Vehicle shifts unusually between 2nd & 3rd gear and 3rd & 4th gear. the condition is worse in wet and/or cold weather. on top of the regular malfunction of the gear shifting, on three separate occasions the vehicle has slammed between gears creating a rear end crash type feel to the passengers inside the vehicle. the dealership claims that the car shifts properly in comparison to like vehicles which makes the unusual shifting condition normal to the 2010 ford fusion.

 I have a ford fusion 21010. i first noticed my car had an issue in april. i was behind a truck and it was slowing down so i stepped on the break. i took my foot off the break and the car accelerated by its self. i was in ky over the weekend and noticed the car speeding up into passing gear after i stepped on the break. i get home from ky and find a recall for a transmission issue. i did not report the problems i was having to the dealer because i saw what the media did to owners of toyotas saying that their foot slipped off the brake and on to the gas. i took the car to the dealer for the recall issue this past tuesday. it was noted i was the first to report that the car accelerated by itself. i

 2010 ford fusion transmission slipped on highway at 70 miles per hour. rpm's increased, loss of speed - had to exit freeway across traffic at a very low speed - was afraid the car was going to stall. ford roadside assistance towed vehicle to briarwood ford in saline - waiting for repairs. requested new transmission vs. repair - ford not complying. vehicle had just been at suburban ford in waterford for oil change and recall on transmission celluloid issue 6 days prior. was told that it checked out fine.

 When driving the automatic transmission sometimes slips out of gear and goes to neutral. this problem happens from 10-40mph at 0-50% throttle. loss of power happens between 5-10 seconds and the engine rpms will increase to 7,000 rpms. depressing the throttle allows the transmission to engage again with an abrupt and hard shift. accelerating again after this is very slow and sluggish and is believed that the car is in an upper gear. almost caused a wreck that could have ended my life between two tractor trailers because of loss of power and failure to accelerate.

 My car is experiencing a problem dealing with acceleration hesitation. many times i required acceleration to take over a car by depressing the gas pedal, followed by no power response in middle of the overtaking. during these episodes the engine began oscillating crazily between rev excessively and the rpm's increased rapidly (from 7000 to 10000 rpm) and decreasing without control without not power response. in addition, the transmission exhibited a delay and a hard shift. the failure occurred intermittently. this failure put me in a high risk during thetaking over in the highway as power did not response and i almost collided twice the vehicle is in the service shop from the dealer and has not been repaired at this time. first dealer diagnostic mentioned that it was a matter of reprogramming the car's computer systems however problem remained and they retained the car for further investigation giving a second diagnostic of body valve

 No crashes or injuries yet! i drive a 2006 ford fusion>>> well driving down the highway while on cruise control the cruise control totally stops and it the speed when from 70 down to i dont know what right away.. the reason i dont know is because the odometer error came up causing the speedometer to stop working. and to add to the confusion... the starter stopped working... all this happened on the day my dad died leaving me without a car to see my family which live 200 miles away...
