On two occasions the car loss power from 60 down to 30 had to pull over and shut the car down very scary situation on the highway . After sri 15 minutes or so the car started back up .had ford run a diagnostic test and said couldn't find anything wrong. Second time did the same thing about six months later another scary situation safely pulled over and waited 15 minutes and car started, was fine for another six months . Also had two situations when brakes didn't work ABS lights came on with other lights pertaining to brakes had to pull over and shut car down for awhile . Turn car on and they were fine . Again I want to emphasize very scary situation. Dates incidents occurred 09/10/2019 and 09/24/2020 engine shut down , brakes situation 09/15/2020 and again on 04/04/2021.

Headlights went out,lost control of vehicle at high speed. Dash lights came back on stirring control of vehicle lost. All dash lights started flashing. Breaking system not working.
The rack and pinion is starting to get hard and making noise. My steering is not functioning as it suppose to be. Engine is starting to shake while on red light. My A/C doesn't work and lights do not work from the inside.
On december 1st I was driving my ford fusion 2 the actual ford dealership to get a look at their field service action that they had posted on my ford app. While on my way I was stopped at a light on columbia drive in portland oregon and I had thought my foot slipped off the brake initially but actually would happen if my car had accelerated and to the gentleman in front of me causing a car accident. My insurance company would have nothing to do with it I tried to contact ford the dealership that I normally go to to see if they could repair the front-end of my ford fusion that was demolished and also no airbags went off as I had just got my car out of the shop at ford for a recall on the airbags my fiance was with me so there was definitely cause for concern fortunately nobody was hurt but like I said my car was demolished on the right passenger side front end I couldn't figure out why my car accelerating on its own so looking into it the explanation that I came up with was definitely the electronic throttle body motor and all I want is my car returned back to its prior condition I have no other vehicle I don't know who to contact I did contact ford and was referred to a bigger ford company if someone could help that would be amazing I'd appreciate it... Also no warnings or sensors went off in my vehicle I do have the sel package and once again no airbags were deployed and for the amount of damage that was done I was very surprised
While driving, the "service power steering soon" notice came on the dash. My husband pulled into a parking lot and turned the car off. We waited about 5 minutes and turned the car back on. The dash then said "service power steering now" and there was no power steering. He was able to get us home by going slowly and avoiding roads with sharp turns. At the same time that the power steering would not engage, the engine began acting strange too. It would rev up high unless your foot was actively pressing on the gas pedal or if you were going slow enough (20 MPH) for the EV mode to override the gas engine. If I was alone in the vehicle, I would have gotten in an accident as I am not physically strong enough to turn the steering wheel without power steering. The car is now sitting outside my home, waiting to be taken to the shop.
While driving on the highway the left driver side front end of the ford fusion hit the right rear/side of another car on the highway after being cut off by another car weaving in & out of traffic at a high speed. The ford fusion was designated "totaled" by the body shop and insurance adjuster due to the extensive damage. The airbags never deployed. The airbags on this ford fusion were part of the airbag recall and were replaced by the ford dealership within the last 2 years so they should have been in good working order but they never deployed. Very concerning.
Was driving on the interstate in a construction zone, when the orange "wrench" light came on the dashboard and the car engine lost power. I was barely able to pull into the right lane and then off the road since it was a construction zone. The car has a code of p2111 posted, and I thought my 2010 ford fusion was covered under ford's customer satisfaction program 13n03, but they do not show that my car is covered under 13n03, and can't explain why it is not. The symptoms of the problem exactly match that customer satisfaction program. It was quite a dangerous situation, having the engine lose power like that while driving on a crowded interstate, and I feel that even though this is an older vehicle, it should be llooked into further.
The car he had sold me was not fix or ready to be sold . He basically scammed me out my money he sold me a lemon car. Its drivable yes but its not . The dealer keep saying its alot of work to trade my car in . I told him about everything thats wrong with the car. I had to pay for the back breaks , wheel alignment, new tires and all that together was 1000$. Now I still have to fix the axle which is 500 plus my car is smoking cause alot of safety hazards like almost causing car accidents because the smoking from the car is heavy. He also gave me false information about the car . Its been 2 recalls and been in a accident. He lied and said he did my registration but he did not and also said the car came with plate and it did not! I cant do payments on the car regular now because the car is basically breaking down. Im trying to get my full entire refund back the 500$ down payment plus the $980 back from the payments . I got scammed . The car hesitates alot and when im driving the car starts swerving and also will shake . The breaks squeaky again and I have to keep putting oil in everyday . He told me he took $1000 off of the car because thats the loan that his banking gave me but he did not! My balance on paying for this car been $5400 left for the longest and I been paying for this car like im suppose to , on time . I got the car from kings auto llc
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that while her son was driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss motive power, sputtered, and stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to town and country ford located at 7800 e. Lloyd expy, evansville, in 47715, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the throttle body was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The EV system is no longer working. The hybrid battery is healthy and the owners manual states it is expected to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Many others have noted this issue as the battery "aging out" as programmed by ford. A suggested remedy is to reset the battery to age >0;<10. Without this reset, the hybrid runs on only the gas motor. At times, this delays acceleration both forwards and backwards as the gas motor (ice) starts back up after stop. This hesitation can easily cause a wreck when pulling into traffic from a stop.
After a throttle body replacement , my power steering rack went out now its very hard to turn
Upon 9 years of age my 2010 ford fusion hybrid (any many others) no longer functions as a hybrid vehicle and will only use the internal combustion engine. This causes a safety concern due to the fact that the EV motor is supposed to kick in from a stop upon acceleration. This causes a significant delay in acceleration while it tries to use the EV motor but cannot due to this limitation. While at roundabouts or when making left hand turns this is a significant safety issue. Ford has done nothing to address this or even acknowledge the fact that this issue exists.
Loss power steering in my 2010 ford fusion on my way to work. Assit fault came on. This is freaking ridiculous that ford is not stepping up and taking care this. How can they be so careless. Other issues include front seat recliner driver side. Electrical issues. Engine issues. Disappointed my first car I played off. Nothing to show for it.
While I was driving in the fast lane on the highway my 2010 ford fusion sport overheated and cut off due to a faulty heat pump which resulted in coolant leaking into it and warping my engine. There was no check engine light or any other indicator that there was an issue with my vehicle. I had even just gotten my car "winter ready" with my mechanic and in november.
I purchased a new 2010 ford fusion hybrid se from a ford dealership in fairfax, va. After owning the vehicle for approximately 9 years, the vehicle no longer operates in electric mode (it only operates in gas mode). My average mpg has dropped from 37-40 mpg to 25-27 mpg. I took it to a ford dealership service center manassas, va in nov 2019 who indicated they are aware of the problem but they have no solution to fix it (they initially were going to charge me $150 diagnostic fee but waived the fee and sent me home). There are numerous reports in ford vehicle forums with the same complaint. Consensus is that ford programmed the electronic mode to stop working after 9 years. When I purchased the vehicle, there was no disclosure that I would no longer have a properly working hybrid after 9 years. This end-of-life decision would have to be programmed into the vehicle's ecu at the time of manufacturing and should have been disclosed by ford at the time of purchase. Had ford disclosed this, it would have directly impacted my decision to purchase the vehicle. The fix appears to be reprogramming the vehicle to make it think it is less than 9 years old which returns the hybrid functions to normal. According to several forums, some ford service centers have conduct this fix, but the majority of ford service centers are not willing/able to resolve this issue. This issue has been identified in ford's oasis database with no solution. Tsb #ssm 48238 the federal safety agency id #10167224 was announced in oct 2019. Refer to forums with identical issues and solutions: (https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-c28475_ds1000144), (https://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/fusion_hybrid/2010/tsbs/), (https://www.fordfusionforum.com/topic/19361-my-instructions-on-restoring-the-hybrid-EV-function-on-the-ford-fusion-hybrid-approaching-the-89-years-mark/).
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. While driving up a slight incline and stopping, the vehicle would drift backwards when in drive gear. The vehicle had an automatic transmission. When the vehicle accelerated, the rpms increased, but the transmission would not switch gears smoothly like it was designed to do. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who only printed out the recall information. The manufacturer also informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 59,000.
Vehicle has 1 to 2 second delay after depressing throttle before acceleration occurs. Very similar to the federal safety agency id number: 11219222 and the federal safety agency id number: 10167224. Suspect it's related to the federal safety agency id number: 11233861 this has resulted in numerous close calls and near t-bone accidents in this car.
Abs control module malfunction. Makes brake pedal extra spongy and hard to brake
We had driven to a football game, when we returned to the car it would not start. All the lights worked, it turned over perfectly every time, but it would not start. Had it towed to the mechanic in the morning and it started for them. However, after multiple test they were able to get it to stop starting. Checked the codes and it said o2 sensor. Replaced o2 sensor. Car died on my way home from the mechanic while pulling out onto the highway from a stop sign where vehicles are traveling 60mph with my two small children in the car. Terrifying! I barely chugged across the lanes and got the nose of my car on the shoulder. I turned the car off and after a few tries it restarted. When I got home, I took the battery cables off the battery for the weekend as I read that could help the faulty computer issue. So far, I have not experienced this issue again. A couple of weeks before this, I noticed that at speeds of 50 MPH the car felt like it was speeding up and slowing down really fast like pulsing.
Bought used ford fusion on 9/16/19 from fred bean cadillac- buick in doyalstown pa. After about driving it for 950 miles on 10/04/19 an yellow wrench icon appeared on the dash board and the car seemed to lose power. The car was parked and the car was turned off, once the car was restarted the wrench icon disappeared. Made appointment with dealer where the car was purchased from at 7:30am on 10/05/19 to have the car looked at. Was told no error code was found, but later that same day while driving home around 2:00pm the wrench icon reappeared and the loss of power happened turning off from rt 332 (yardley-newton rd speed 55mph) on to stony hill rd speed 40mph. Once I go to a red light at stony hill and yardley langhorne rd intersection I turned car off, then restarted car and wrench icon disappeared.
The car stalls and shifts gears after stopping at a red light or stop sign then after moments of pressing the gas pedal it spins off and jerks really hard on a freeway it rides very well it only stalls after waiting at a light or stop sign or tapping onto the break also the car has new break pads but it sounds like something is scrubbing and while I was backing out of a parking lot the car made a huge popping and threw me back while my foot was on the break it scared me so I got out to see what happened and I didn't hit anything nor did anything hit me so I tried to drive home and the car jerked the entire way home almost
Rapid deceleration: while driving on the freeway rapid deceleration occurred. Car slowed to about 25mph and would not accelerate when gas pedal was pushed. Exited freeway.. Turned engine off and restarted. Car operated normal. No error icons showed. About a half mile from home problem reoccurred crawled home at 10mph. Next several days problem did not reoccur. About a week later same problem reoccurred while driving home ..10mph. Spoke to ford service to see if they would cover repairs and they declined. Took it to my repair shop and they replaced the throttle body. $600. Very scary dangerous situation when this occurs on the freeway.
Throttle body recall I have a 2010 ford fusion that I just purchased less then a year ago. One day my check engine light came on and I returned the car they told me it was the throttle body. They replaced it and 3 months later it went again. I looked up the recalls and they said that the throttle body was one of them. It has already been fixed 4 times in the last couple of years. Now my car is stalling and shutting off in traffic. How do I go about getting this fixed or something new. I looked up the recalls and it saids im suppose to have a 10 year extended warranty or 150,000 mile warranty. But no one is giving me any answers. This car is very dangerous for me and my family to be driving in. Where do I go from here..
