Our 2010 ford fusion lost engine power while accelerating up a hill in morning rush hour traffic on a multi-lane super-highway in atlanta. Our car was in one of the left lanes and was able to limp across several lanes to the right shoulder with the assistance of a helpful truck driver. Cars were racing around us on both sides until we could flag down assistance. The experience was horrifying. The car was towed to…

My 2010 ford fusion failed me and my family yesterday in highway traffic. The car went into an idle mode and would not accelerate. I had to coast across three lanes of traffic and run up the curb to get my family to a safe area. I turned the car off, and then back on and the car started. The problem was the throttle body and the dealer replaced the failed unit at my cost. I see on the web, that a failed throttle…

2010 ford fusion -- had to replace trans axle due to poor surface roughness on part and it wore the seals, found by puddle of tranny fluid in garage. A known issue, ford had a kit to repair. Local trans shop found about the issue. Of course no recall. Now transmission slips while accelerating, and decelerating before jerkily shifting in gear. *tr
