The issue I have been having with this vehicle involves the throttle body which has been replaced twice now since I have owned this car. While driving this vehicle, myself and my daughter, at separate times, lost acceleration while on the highway. This could have been a very dangerous situation if the timing of being on the road was different as well as the amount of vehicles on the road. We both were able to pull over to the side of the road. Thank goodness we were both in the far right lane when the acceleration failed. Ford did recall the product at one time, however, now they are unwilling to assist with the 2nd fail. This appears to be either an engineering defect or vendor defect in the part. This is a dangerous defect as collisions could occur when unable to accelerate on high speed roads as well as dangerous for other drivers who are unable to gage the speed of the slow moving vehicle.
2010 ford fusion idler pulley bolt sheered off along with piece of engine block and pulley resulting in a near accident as drive belt, and power steering failed and vehicle would not go past 20 miles per hour (on highway). My wife (5 months pregnant) was driving at the posted speed of 70 MPH when the pulley and bolt sheered off. Her car was nearly struck from behind by several vehicles as well as not being able to steer the car herself. Looking at ford fusion blogs, this appears to be a common problem that ford has not fixed in their earlier models. This design and/or stress fault causes safety concerns as well as costly repairs since piece of the engine block can sheer off with the idler pulley bolt.

Without warning, driving highway speeds we lost power. Got the car started again and realized there was no heat, then noticed the temperature gauge was on hot. The battery light, check engine light and wrench light turned on. We eventually had to be towed at a cost of $460. The master mechanic identified the water pump cracked, then resealed itself and coolant mixed with the oil which killed the engine. He said there would have not been any warning and this issue has been seen before and is catastrophic. We now have to replace the engine at a cost of $8000. There are forums online with other fusion owners experiencing the same issue but no recognition or recall from ford. I have had issues with this car since the day I bought it. I had to have my electronic throttle body replaced twice, also not a recall by ford but a customer satisfaction program. I guess they are ok with having cars literally turning off at highway speeds before they fix the issues.
My child was driving my ford 2010 fusion and it suddenly caught fire destroying the engine and surrounding components, everything inside the car was melted. Fire destroyed the front of the inside of the car . There were no check engine lights or other warning signs displayed on the car dashboard.
While driving at approximately 40 MPH, the car began to shake and immediately lost power. The service engine soon light illuminated and the car would not accelerate in traffic. Luckily our house was within 1 mile of where the failure happened. After making it home we had the obd engine code read and it stated that it was an issue with the throttle body. We found out searching the internet this is a known issue and ford has extended the warranty for this issue to 10 years 150,000 miles. Car is 6 years old with 109,000 miles. After turning the car off and back on the service engine soon light was no longer illuminated. We immediately scheduled service at a local ford dealership. Dealership claimed they would not make any repairs under field service action number: 13n03 because the service engine soon light was no longer illuminated. They suggested we return when the car exhibits the issue again. In other words "come back next time your car fails while driving". This is a known issue, with dangerous consequences, and service was refused. We contacted ford customer relations and was told the car should have been fixed. They contacted the dealer and afterwards revised their statement, claiming the service engine soon must be illuminated for the repair to be covered under field service action number: 13n03. This is a known intermittent issue, and according to the servicing dealer "the code is cleared after restarting the vehicle 3 times". This was never mentioned when making the service appointment. If the burden of proof was on us, we would have taken the car immediately to the dealership. Now we are simply waiting for the failure to occur again so we can have the repairs made. Hopefully, the failure does not happen at highway speeds.
My vehicle has the tendency of reducing acceleration, when you are driving at a speed of 35 or above the car will slow down and almost come to a complete stop. If you are in the fast lane and your car will not accelerate what can you do if there is lots of traffic behind you, this will definitely cause an accident because you have no where to go and cars are right up on you. This is an accident waiting to happen. This problem has happened to me 4 times when I was on just the streets and not the highway, I was going 45 MPH and all of a sudden my car loses speed and it went all the way down and no matter how much I tried to accelerate it would not go any faster, so I coasted over to the side of the road and turned the engine off and called my son to meet me because I didn't know if it would start again. It did but the engine light stayed on. I started driving it again and it did the same thing. I got a little closer to home and pulled over to this exxon gas station; sit there until my son came and he started it again and he followed me home. A few days later it did it again; it has done this 4 times even this morning on my way to the ford dealership whom I thought was going to fix the problem but wanted me to pay them $115 out of pocket for a diagnostic that I should not be paying anything that is their mistake or mess up. I will see if I can round up enough complaints for a class action lawsuit, because why would I have to pay for something that's their fault when the car was built.

This first happened to me on june 1, 2016. My 2010 ford fusion loses power once in a while when driving. A wrench light appears on the dash board and the car starts to slow down, accelerator does not work and sometimes the car starts to shake. You will have to pull over, turn the car off for a few minutes and then turn it off in order to drive it until the light comes back on again. It is very dangerous to drive it in the highway and specially when speed limit its 50 and trucks or other cars are coming at a high speed behind you because you do not know when this is going to happen to you again. I have this problem for a few weeks. I took my car for a recall for something else on june 24, 2016 and I mentioned to them about this issue and they said everything was fine. But I'm sure it will not be fine if I get into a car accident after complaining about this issue. The dealer will ask if the light its on in order for them to check it. But I have mention that the light goes on and as soon as you lose power and turn the car off and on it disappears.
When at a stop it stops running. The idle speed drops and fluctuates. It is stalling when stopped. Wrench light came on and lasted 20 miles and then went off.

When vehicle is stationary throttle decreases to below 500 RPM, and sometimes stalls. Transmission and engine check come in intermittently. Ford aware of the throttle body and accelerator problem but won't fix it until broken. Took it to dealership and paid $125 for diagnostic but they told me there is no problem. I called ford and they just referred me back to the dealership stating they are aware of the problem but won't fix it until it is broken. Please help, I can't drive the car due to the safety concern.
Engine stalls/shuts down while driving. Check engine light came on. Alarm p2111 came up. Throttle actuator control system - stuck open. My vehicle stalled while turning left with oncoming traffic. It did this 3 times while driving home from work. This is an intermittent issue. I take it to the dealer, they adjust, it works for a while, then occurs again. This is a very dangerous problem.
