Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the structural integrity of the vehicle was flawed because the idler pulley bolt fractured internally and caused the vehicle to seize. Also, the battery indicator illuminated and the steering wheel was extremely difficult to turn. When the failure occurred, the vehicle had to be coasted off the road and towed to a repair facility. The mechanic replaced the idler pulley four times and the tension pulley also had to be replaced. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the bolt frayed at the end several times.

Driving at 70 MPH on the interstate, car suddenly shudders, wrench light comes on. I immediately pulled onto the nearest exit ramp and drove at reduced speed until able to stop. Shut off car, then turned ignition key to check diagnostics. All good? Started car, drove maybe 50 ft when wrench and emissions lights came on and car went into 'limp' mode. Got off of ramp and shut off car for 5 min. Restarted car, emissions light on only, but car was drive-able drove 20 miles @ 60-65mph with no problem until I got home. Outside temp was -5f. Next morning checked car with obd2 diagnostic tool. A 'p2110' code appeared, signifying tac/PCM isssue/s. After checking earlier the federal safety agency records, this has happened many times! My wife uses the same car, and if what happened to me happened to her, most likely the results would have been fatal!!! Is someone dying have to be what will get a recall? Please do something. Thank you.

While driving on a highway the wrench light illuminated and I experienced an unexpected, sudden loss of engine power and acceleration. The vehicle rapidly decreased in speed from highway speeds to barely being able to maintain speeds of 20mph. Engine power and vehicle speed are severely and rapidly reduced without warning while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are not effected. No sign of the issue the next day, once the car is turned off and back on. This seems to be a widespread and documented problem with the electronic throttle body including an investigation and two separate "customer satisfaction programs" to repair model years 2009-2013. Apparently the same throttle body part is interchangeable from years 206-2009 so likely it could be widespread in these model years. This is incredibly dangerous and needs to be a full recall.

Tensioner pulley disconnects from engine causing the drive belt to come off. This has happened to the referenced vehicle for (4) times since 2008 and at each time said vehicle was in various stages as follows: 1st time was in motion in the middle of an intersection while taking a left turn; 2nd time was in motion in a parking lot right when turning into parking space; 3rd time was prevented when taken to dealership because of a squealing sound coming from the engine when gas pedal was used; and the 4th time it came off when starting the engine while parked in the driveway at my home. Each time it was replaced it was taken to the ford dealership where it was purchased and each time it has not been fixed properly. At this time there is a squealing sound starting to come from the vehicle when it has been started but diminishes after engine has warmed up. Now I feel it's only a matter of time before the unthinkable will happen.....
