2011 Ford Fusion engine complaints
Page 11 of 11: complaints 281 to 290 of 290, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Made 10 mi trip to school. 1/2 - 1 hr later, made 1/2 mi trip to store. On return to school on highway lost throttle response until car was turned off and restarted. (wrench light on dash displayed.) 2 hrs later, lost throttle response when turning onto highway from school. Car responded as normal after restart. Ford dealership replaced etb, a71, gasket, and throttle body. Car has returned to normal function.
It has happened before to my wife on two other occasions. So I took the car out and drove it around and was coming back home and after turning onto our rode and got up to 45 MPH the wrench light and the check engine light came on and loss all power. Step on the gas pedal and there was nothing. Rolled over to the shoulder and put in park and waited for a couple of minutes and restarted it. Went about another 300 yards and it did it again. Did some research on the internet and ford has been having this problem with the fusion and there other cars like the escape. They all came down to the throttle body being bad and had to be replaced. But my question is if they have been having this problem for awhile why hasn't ford or someone put a recall on these throttle body's. This can cause a serious accident if a person is going down the highway and this occurs the person could be possibly rear ended. *tr

Updated 8/31/12 *cn the consumer stated the vehicle duplicated the failure on august 2nd at 23,500. The dealership in knoxville replaced the throttle body. The failure did not recur.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. The contact was traveling 65 MPH when the engine stalled. The vehicle restarted after the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage was 32,000. Updated 08/16/12*lj the consumer stated the engine stalled, as she attempted to accelerate from a stop.
On 6/7/12 was driving car and check engine light and wrench light came on while driving on the road, 30 seconds later, engine shut off completely, could not accelerate and had to get the vehicle towed to the dealership. I was told that the purge valve and fuel filler pipe had to be replaced. On 6/11/12, picked up my vehicle from the dealership and was charged over $500 dollars for the service. 20 minutes later while driving on i45 north at 65 MPH. Same thing happened, car completely turned off, had to "coast" to the shoulder and avoid any vehicles. My vehicle, again, was towed to the dealership. This is very dangerous and must be taken care of immediately. The fact that I was charged over $500 to take care of the issue and for it to happen again is absurd.
2011 ford fusion. Consumer states while traveling vehicle lost power on three separate occasions *tgw the consumer stated when he pulled over to the side of the road, the vehicle vibrated as it idled. The consumer turned off the ignition, waited a few seconds and then started the vehicle. Each time the vehicle ran normally after he restarted it. In addition to the problem, the transmission slipped on two different occasions. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to diagnose a problem.
I was traveling about 35 to 40mph when the car starting acting up. Anytime I had to slow down and then speed up the RPM would not shift, when it did shift it would jerk the car forward. I also have been having an issue where I would step on the gas and it would act as if it was in neutral. This continues to happen and I fear that one of these times I will be in an accident with my kids in the car. These are all transmission issues, I have brought it in twice now first time they did the tsb which was to reset the PCM and my AC wasn't and still is not working. Resetting the PCM did not work so now back in the shop it sits. This car is only 4 months old and already has safety issues being the transmission. There needs to be a recall before there are deaths.
Tl*the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. The contact was on a steep incline and shifted the gear selector into the reverse; suddenly the vehicle rolled forward 6-8 feet. The contact engaged the brakes with force repeatedly before the vehicle came to a complete stop. The failure recurred when the contact shifted into drive, the vehicle traveled in reverse. The contact notified the dealer who stated that the vehicle functioned as designed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The contact was in the process of taking the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was 1,800. Updated 06/16/11*lj the consumer also stated the engine would stall. Ford stated it was a normal operating characteristic of the vehicle due to the redesign of the torque converter. Updated 06/22/11
