The car never gave any indication of a problem. No check engine light, smoking, not even oil usage for that matter. I checked the oil every time I got gas because I bought it 3 weeks prior. Then was driving to interstate to work when I hear jt start clicking immediately got a oil light then dies and was stuck on interstate cars zoomomg by at 80 if I were in the center lane I would be dead.

My issue is what many people have already complained about - the shifting is extremely rough, to the point it's now undrivable and unsafe. The 'wrench' light and check engine light have just come on, although the slipping of gears has gone on for quite a while. This seems to be a very common issue. Most people can't afford to spend $3-4k to get the transmission rebuilt.

While I was driving on a dry, paved road, the check engine light activated while passing and the vehicle's rpms fluctuated between 500 and 2000 with barely any engine power. Vehicle was pulled over, turned off, turned back on again, and appeared to resume normal operation. Vehicle was towed to a mechanic and through testing they identified the powertrain control module had melted several engine coils and spark plugs. Before replacing the module, all new spark plugs and engine coils were added and the car was started up. It exhibited the same behavior before the coils and plugs were replaced, and for the brief time it was actually on, it melted another new coil. Tsb for the 07 fusion was confirmed and the PCM was replaced along with all new coils. Pcm was taken to the ford dealer for reprogramming. Replacement and reprogramming of PCM and all 6 coils and spark plugs fixed the issue. Vehicle has 84k miles on it and should not have this safety issue.

The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap. The consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment. The seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it. The interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate. The engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.

Either in 2008 or 2009, shortly after purchasing a brand new 2007 ford fusion, I was greeted with the first major issue of my brakes going out on me while driving. Find out this was due to a defective master cylinder. The engine light turned on within 3-4 years of having the vehicle, and was found to be related to the thermostat, the engine would always run towards the cool end, never going above 1/3 of the way to the halfway mark. That was fixed after years of failed attempt. And all the while, I never had a functioning air condition unit and would have to repair yearly, and then found to be related the car always running too cool. Over the past two years, I have had to replace the gasket twice, because oil would appear in places it should not (I always maintain my car by doing the oil changes, etc on time). This past sunday, I was driving and going around 70 MPH when my car started to decelerate to 65, then 60, then would not go past 40 so I pulled off the interstate and drove back home. Over the next couple of days I smelled burnt oil, and the same issue with oil being where it should be happened again. Mechanic is telling me it is done, and after researching, this is not something unique to just my car. This is dangerous and people have reported many horrifying stores on the same issue, with some people's fusions combusting and stalling them on the highway. I did notify the ford company today of all the safety issues and other issues related to my car, just so they have it documented on their end as well. I am appalled this car does not have recalls other than the one related to the airbags, which they can not fix yet, posing my passenger at risk.

I was going on a trip to visit family and missouri from wi and my 2007 ford fusion lost all power. The wrench light came on and check engine light came on. I had the codes read and stated that it was a throttle body issue. Any time I use the curse control on long trips this happens.

Driving on interstate 75 my car made a popping noise and lost power, was in limp mode, check engine light came on, had car diagnosed and found to have busted ignition coils and bad ECM, replaced those, less than a week later driving to work again and wrench light came on, it comes and goes but the check engine light is on. The car loses all power until shut off, am told it is a throttle body issue. The car has just over 73,000 miles and has been very well taken care of. I am afraid to drive any more due to the sudden loss of power on highway with no way of knowing when it is going to happen again.

For the past month I have been experiencing loss of acceleration. My car basically goes into "limp mode" when the problem arises. The car loses all acceleration and can only go about 10mph. The first time I noticed it, I was driving to work and the car started to make a "hiccup" feeling resulting in total loss of acceleration power. Almost immediately the wrench icon lights up. The only way to start driving again is to pull over and turn the car off. Upon restarting the car the wrench icon is off and seems to drive fine for a little while. Since then, I have experienced the problem at least 8 times per week, and the check engine light will come on as well for a few days then disappear. I have noticed that 2010-2013 ford fusions have had a customer satisfaction program assigned by ford for this same problem, providing a 10 year/150,000 mile warranty for the electronic throttle body. Why are the earlier models not covered under this same program when they are clearly having the same issues (according to the numerous reports listed on here)??!!

No problems driving car and faithful oil changes with full synthetic oil. Went to leave one morning and car was knocking like it was low on oil. No engine light on at all. Turned off car, oil showed fine. Car would not restart. Nothing. Took to shop and engine has blown. Oil pump failure apparently.
