I am filing this complaint in hopes that ford will be forced to issue a recall regarding the dangerous acceleration issue the fusions are having. My car will lose power when driving. I have to press the gas pedal almost to the floor to get the car to accelerate once i have lost power and the car jerks and sputters. The issue began on june 3, 2014 and worsened today, june 4, 2014. I do not have any check engine…

Experiencing transmission problems. In attempting to get up to 60 mph on a local 4 lane highway, the vehicle hesitated and lurched when attempting to change gears. The vehicle cannot accelerate smoothly and revs inconsistently. The vehicle experienced similar issues at 30,000 miles and the transmission was overhauled. *tr

While driving at speeds over 30 mph the engine will loose power and the rpms will drop and then rev back up. This happens when there is a quick acceleration, like merging onto the freeway, pulling onto a busy street. The worst experience happened just last night, march 2,2015. I was accelerating from a stop on to a busy street and the car stuttered and shook as if it was a manual transmission. I had no control over…

I bought my 2010 ford fusion sel v6 with [redacted] it daily 120 miles/day to work. It has 106,000 miles now. Last week, for the third time, the "service power steering now" and "service advancetrac" indicators flashed on while driving 70 mph at night, using cruise control. Arrived home safely, next morning, no power steering. Drove car to ford dealership, who hooked it up to diagnostic machine, and cleared…

The throttle body failed on my 2010 ford fusion that i purchased last month. The car felt as if it simply stopped working and would not accelerate. Thankfully, it occurred at a low speed, though it was very frightening. Apparently, this is a known issue and ford says it isn't covered under the powertrain warranty. I am concerned about driving the car, and i feel as though this known defective part will fail again.…

While driving at freeway speed my car completely lost acceleration and started shaking and jerking (surging out of control). There was no throttle response and control of the vehicle was greatly diminished. This situation could lead to fatal crash at highway speed in traffic. Luckily i was able to roll to a stop on the shoulder and get the car towed home. *tr

Ford issued an extended warranty for the throttle body for my 2010 ford fusion. I received multiple letters in the mail letting me know that my car was receiving this warranty. Yesterday, my car suddenly stopped acceleration and made an extreme jerk multiple times on the freeway- this could have killed myself, my passengers and anyone who may have hit me. Today, i was told that because my vehicle has a salvaged…

As i was pulling out into traffic from the driveway of the grocery store my car seemed as if it stalled as i was driving. It would not move as i pressed the gas pedal. It did not go off. It just would not move. I put my hazard lights on so the approaching cars could go around me. I then turned the car off and restarted it. It seemed to hesitate a bit but then started and i proceeded to go home. This was the scariest…

The throttle body failed causing the car to lose all power. I made it to the side of the road and turned the car off. Turned the car off and left it off for a few minutes. Turned the car back on and it ran. I took it to a dealer, where ford refused to fix the issue even though the part is under warranty. Drove the car for three weeks after that when it occurred again while driving. Took the car back to the ford…

Driving highway speed with the cruise control active, on my way to work. Turned off the cruise and the car "bucked." the wrench warning light came on. It would lose rpm and then go back up again. Turned around and went home. I didn't want to be stranded at 4:30 in the morning. Got home, turned the car off, and restarted, and the light was off. Took it to the ford dealer and they said it's the throttle body. But...my…

I own a 2010 ford fusion se, i purchased it while my husband was deployed in 2010. It had 17 miles, when i bought it. I am the first owner. It seemed like a great car. In owning the car i have had to get the alternator changed- 2 years into owning the car. And recently the car has been riding "rougher" than usual. Also the rpm's will randomly go up and down. And when i am at a red night and my foot is on the pedal,…

Well i previously had a problem with the transmission shifting gears and jerking. Well come to find out it was from a low fluid level caused by a leaking drive shaft. One of more than 2000 known to have this problem. Ford needs to take care of this or i am going back to imports again. *tr

When cold vehicle free revs before abruptly slamming into next gear this could cause damage to the automatic transmission or loss of vehicle control in adverse conditions. I have heard of numerous other complaints specific to this model. The manufacturer needs to address these concerns immediately! *tr

Similar story to other postings regarding automatic transmission: increasingly prolonged shifting between low gears (running at increasingly higher rpms before shifting), car periodically jerks forward when accelerating from 0, and now transmission fluid is leaking from left half shaft seal. Will cost over $500 to replace seal, but will take a few days for the dealer to get the "kit," because there are 2000…

My vehicle regularly "bucks" and has issues shifting. There is an apparent transmission problem and known leaking issue on this model of the ford fusion. There are over a 1000 complaints about this on the internet that i have found and ford refuses to do anything about it. This is a fault of theirs and they should be responsible for this fix! *tr

Vehicle shifts very abruptly when cold and first starting out, almost stalling out when pulling out into oncoming traffic. Looks like there is transmission fluid leaking out from a seal. *tr

Transmission leak in the front left axle. Mechanic at ford dealership told me this is the 5th one he's seen in the last week (on various 2010 fusion's and 2010 escape's), and he's fixed many of those vehicles with the same problem over the last few years. Upon, looking online, i see many other people who own those 2 vehicles with the same problem. This costs about $500 to fix (and from reports online, many times…
