Wrench light flashes on the dash as the car slows to 20 mpr or less, gas pedal to the floor and it wont go. I shut the car off and turn it back on it runs until it slows down again another 20-30 miles. This year should've been recalled as the 2009-2012 models. *tr

Without warning, vehicle jerked, decelerated and slowed to a stop on the highway. Vehicle would not respond to pressing of gas pedal. Had to pull vehicle off to the side of the road. Orange wrench icon appeared. Turned car off and on again and icon disappeared. Not knowing when the vehicle is going to stop accelerating is extremely dangerous. It is only a matter of time before this issue affects someone while they…

I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive i was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, i was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about 5 min before happening again. I ended up…

I have a 2007 ford fusion. The idler pulley bolt has broken 3 times in less than a year. I've read in multiple online forums that once this starts to happen, it continues to happen every few months. I can't sell this car to someone knowing the bolt will break, and i can't continue paying $200 every time it does. I never know where or when it will leave me stranded. This seems like a fairly common issue for the 2007…

Went to pass a slow moving vehicle and when gas pedal was pressed the vehicle responded with no power, shuddered, and stalled. Had towed to a local trusted mechanic who was unable to diagnose a specific problem because the he was getting "crazy problem codes". Vehicle was towed to a ford dealer who discovered the coils were destroyed due to a pcm failure. Coils and pcm replaced at the cost of $2,200. Driving home…

The idler pulley is causing a bolt to snap in two that's assisting in holding it in place, which prevents the engine belt from rotating and causing the belt to fall off( the belt did not break) making me lose power steering. This is the second time this has happen to me within a months time. This is very dangerous lucky it only happen once while i was driving on my street. The other time it happen i was parked in my…

My 2007 fusion's computer went bad and burnt up coils. Grand total to fix it was $2200. Even though there is a service bulletin they wouldn't do anything. It is only if the car is under warranty. We bought this car as a certified used car and that meant nothing too. *tr

The idler pulley bolt broke off and pulled the belt off (the belt did not break) making me lose power steering, and of course the battery would not hold a charge. This happened june 8, 2013, june 23, 2013 and again on september 11, 2013. Ford is telling me that there is no problem but the dealer that fixed my car the 1st two times now has it again and has a call into ford to see what the problem could be that it has…

It would turnover but would began to idle erratically and would shut off within 5-15 seconds. I tried a few trouble shooting techniques but eventually gave up and took it to an auto shop. They connected the code reader and…

I was driving with my fiance when we heard a loud metal snapping sound with a few dinging sounds. Apparently the idler pulley snapped off and bounced around causing me to lose my power steering. It was a good thing i wasn't driving to fast or it wasn't two days later as we were supposed to be driving to fort knox, because it would have been worse with it snapping off like that going 70mph. Had a friend help me get…

While attempting to merge, another driver was blocking me by speeding to get alongside me while i was on a merge lane. The other driver then matched my speed. I hit the brakes because the fusion will not slow down otherwise. I then hit floored the accelerator to prevent…

I had purchased my 2007 ford fusion new and had a few oddities during the course of ownership. Within two years of ownership i had a battery short out. At three years i had to have a hefty brake service done because of a clicking noise when the brakes were applied. I noticed at four years that when i would remove the key from the ignition and open the door, the car would chime as if the key was still in it. The…
