2010 Ford Fusion fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 25: complaints 11 to 40 of 705, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle will no longer operate in electric mode. This is a major safety concern since there is no assist from the high-voltage battery powered electric drive motor. Upon accelerating from a dead stop, there is a significant lag before the ICE kicks in and provides enough power to move the vehicle.
While driving, the throttle body valve malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to rapidly lose power and go into an engine "safe mode." The check engine light appeared on the dash. I was luckily able to pull over to the side of the road. Restarting the vehicle cleared the error, but the issue continued to recur until I was able to get home. Luckily the sudden loss of power did not cause an incident, but as it occurred on the highway, a sudden drop in speed could have posed a safety risk, especially if it had occurred in inclement weather. There was a recall for the specific part that failed, but due to my model being a hybrid, it was not included even though it contained the exact faulty component. Speaking with Ford Customer Care confirmed this to be the case that my specific car was not included in the recall. I was able to order the replacement part myself and perform the repair. The error message that was thrown in the car's OBD system was: P2112 "Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed" The code was not saved in the module so it could only be read at the time the issue was actively occurring before the vehicle was turned off.
Car stalled at a stop light on [XXX] where the speed limit is 50MPH. My [XXX] daughter was driving and could not restart the car. When the light turned green she was stuck in the middle of the road and trucks and other drivers where riding right up to her at 60+ MPH before they switched lanes honking and flipping her off. She could have been struck and killed. Took to mechanic after I was able to get on-site and start the car. P1450 Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum. Was told this is very common with this year of Ford Fusion and Ford knows of the issue. Why not a recall to change the solenoid and purge valve before someone gets killed if they haven't already.

Gasoline was leaking from the top of the gas tank down the side of the tank near the passenger side rear tire (opposite side from the fuel filler cap). This was first notice on 10/8/2023. The gas would leak when the tank was filled until approximately 1 gallon had leaked out on the ground underneath the tank. I put a container under the car near the passenger side tire to catch the gas. There was a strong smell of gas inside and around the car. We took the car to the mechanic who said the gas tank had a crack at the top of the tank. The mechanic replaced the tank with a used tank which cost approximately $514.00 total installed. A new tank would have cost approximately $1100.00 installed.

Furl tank leaks and seapage. There’s a past recall yet dealer will not fix.

I believe it is the Fuel System Throttle Body. Yes it is available for inspection. While driving on the freeway at 60 mph, and on city streets 30 mph, the car suddenly stalled out. The wrench warning light came on for about 3-5 seconds, but the car was already stalling out. This was a extreme danger to myself and all other drivers in my vicinity. I plan to have the vehicle inspected. No other inspection has been done. Wrench Warning Light came on about 3-5 seconds before car stalled out power seemed to decrease as I pressed the pedal.

There was a recall on the make and modal of my car for the fuel system. The problem was with the pressurization in the fuel tank causing a leak through a crack in the tank (caused by the pressurization.) Unfortunately this occurred on my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. But the company will not recognize it because my VIN number is not on their list. This is a very scary and unsafe situation to be in. The company has no interest or want to look into it. The check engine light only came on after too much damage had occurred from the pressurization, leaving me with a cracked tank and fuel actively leaking out causing a very dangerous situation.
I filled the gas tank on the way home and parked in the garage. Next day the garage has strong smell of gas and a tiny puddle on the ground. Googled and saw ford had recall in 2016. Book appointment with ford and drove car in. They say car was inspected in 2016, charge $135 for inspection then ask for approx $1000 to replace the fuel pump. I decline and seek another shop. Drive car home and the worst is much worst. Have car towed to new shop. New shop says fuel pump is fine, but the tank has a leak on top (which is what the 2016 recall was to avoid). Now I am looking at approx $900 to replace the fuel tank. It would seem that ford should cover this under the recall or at least cover the $400+ cost of the tank at a min. This is clearly a dangerous condition and potential fire that could have easily gone unnoticed if I had not parked inside that night (car usually stays outside). The mechanic at the new shop was not surprised and said tanks are now often being replace on these cars. The car has now been out of service for over a week and will be at least another week for the part to arrive and get the replacement work done.
Car constantly have brakes, steering, fuel, and airbags problems

My car is leaking fuel. I am unable to pass the smog. I called ford and they said they already 'inspected' my fuel tank in 2016 and it was fine so they don't have to fix it now. This was recalled. It is effecting my car and they need to repair it. Just because it wasn't happening before doesn't mean they should not be responsible for this problem now that it has happened and my car is affected by this recall. They are refusing to fix it.

My local dealership won't do the open recalled foe my car because they don't know if part is good or not.. I went and pick up my car from the dealership they only did the airbag.. I was wondering if you guys could contact them and let them know to replace the part.. Recall number is 15s34
After much research I have determined the throttle body is failing to function properly in this car. This part has been recalled on non hybrid models but not hybrid models, even though they are identical parts.
Etb electronic throttle body on 2010 ford fusion 4cy se - instant loss of power to vehicle as traveling 45 MPH hour on roadway, almost crashing, after much research I've realized you guys allowed ford to do their one "recall" that wasn't a recall, and now endagering thousands of lives that are not aware of the faulty part!!!! Why??? I could have died!!!!
1.) c/s airbag light is on - local dealership found passenger airbag in b pillar is cause - not related to recently completed recall 19s34 on passenger airbag inflater npa1908055946 per dealership. Not sure why the airbag systems in these vehicles are problematic, but the owner should not be responsible for charges for replacement of these problematic parts. Possible new recall needed. 2.) recall 15v34 relating to leaking canister purge valve - ford authorized an update to the vehicle powertrain control module calibrations to help prevent pressure cycles in the fuel tank - these calibrations were performed however the purge valve has still failed. The part 9u5z-9c915-h was originally recommended 4 years ago when the recall was issued but the part was unavailable at the time, on special order. Vehicle owner requested repair / part replacement repeatedly but was told the part remained unavailable and was not an issue with the re-calibration unless the check engine light appeared. The dealership closed the recall without replacing the part - 6 months later the check engine light came on and the cause is the need for a replacement canister purge valve and the owner is now responsible for the repair/replacement costs. Recall should be honored.
I took my car to griffin ford in tifton ga for the air bags recall and the fuel tank recall. They fixed the air bags but said nothing was wrong with the fuel recall. But I explained to them that the car will burst gas out while pumping and gas leak under the car. They said nothing was wrong with it. I took it the ford place in turner county and they said it was the canister valve solenoid. But they said it was a recall on it. I'm confused now I got to buy one and pay to have it replaced.
