Idler pulley bolt has broken twice in the 2 years i've had this vehicle. Each of the bolts snapped and got stuck in the engine block. When the bolt breaks it results in a loss of power steering, the engine starts to overheat, and other issues occur due to the serpentine belt coming off track. Each time this has happened to me on a very busy highway and almost caused a collision.

Shut off car, then turned ignition key to check diagnostics. All good? Started car, drove maybe 50 ft when wrench and emissions lights came on and car went into 'limp' mode. Got off of ramp and shut off car for 5 min. Restarted car,…

Idler pulley bolts failed causing loss of power steering and alternator. Vehicle was stationary at the time. If this happened while driving on a highway, vehicle would be difficult to steer. This is the second time this part has failed in 6 months.

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 only way to start driving again is…

Had to replace an ignition coil for a misfire obd code. After replacing coil problem still existed, so i researched online and found a great number of other fusion owners who have had this same problem. Now i am supposed to replace all the ignition coils and the pcm. With the number of affected vehicles being staggering i feel that there needs to be a recall for this issue. *tr
