Vehicle is a 2010 fusion hybrid. Vehicle hesitates for 1-3 seconds when accelerating from a stop. There is a delay because of what appears to be a failure of the hybrid drive system to provide adequate power. I also notice this during routine driving, although it is not a safety concern then. The hybrid power system has simply stopped providing the additional power required by the powertrain to operate properly.…

My 2010 ford fusion had the service power steering light come on while driving down the highway, and then the power steering went out and the service advancetrac came on. I called the dealership and even though my car has two open recalls for airbags and fuel tank, along with an extended one on my throttle body, they can't get my car in until next month. I've tried disconnecting the battery terminals, and replaced…

On another occasion, while driving 30 mph and approaching a stop sign, the vehicle turned off, but was able to restart after several attempts. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal to the floorboard and the vehicle failed to…

Takata recall: my daughter was driving her 2010 ford fusion when the steering wheel seemingly locked up. She was on the freeway and nearly wrecked in panic. Luckily it did loosen enough for her to get off of the highway. This could have been a terrible situation.

My car has a problem hanging up when you accelerate. This is my second transmission. First one went out at 41,000 and i had to get a new one. The car has a total of 109,000 on it and i think this transmission is going out. It hangs up when you accelerate so i have to be careful about how i accelerate .so that the gears will change. It is an automatic transmission. It has been slipping for at least the past 10,000…

Have a 2010 ford fusion. Lf cv axel seal was leaking. Took car in and had bushing, seal, and shaft replaced. Drove car 150 miles. Same exact issue. After researching this problem. This transmission leak is a "very" common problem with these cars. Not only did i pay hundreds of dollars to fix the leak with all new parts, but this leak can cause the transmission to blow. Ford needs to recall this and get the problem…

I have noticed a vibration in my car at about 55-65 mph, upon further investigation i found out it is the power transfer unit for my awd. I am a mechanic and called ford for them to verify that the fluid is non servicable and is good for a life time. This is crazy because a new one is $900 or more not including labor, and because they are not servicable every about 80,000 - 100,000 miles you will have to replace it.…

There was a recall for previous versions but when i looked up the 2010 ford fusion 3.0lv6 awd it was not included even though it was one of the pioneer vehicles of fords to have the system. Once i got the power steering repaired i started hearing a grinding. As i drove the car to my house to get a safe look all of a sudden there was…
