The dealer, van bortel in rochester, ny, has had the vehicle for a transmission re-build and two additional times for a seal that leaked transmission fluid. I had another incident where i brought the vehicle to another dealer and…

I was driving down the highway at 70 mph when my car shut off i was almost hit by another car then a semi truck because i didn't know what had happened. My car had no throttle response.

The vehicle began to jerk when driving or between automatic shifting. Specifically when it shifts into third, it jerks extremely hard. The engine and maintenance light will come on as the vehicle stalls. There is no response from the accelerator and i have to put it in park, stop the car and restart it in order for it to move again. I was almost rear ended due to the vehicle dying in the middle of the street. *tr

We bought our 2010 ford fusion used and the day we purchased the car we had a problem. The check engine light was on and when we asked the dealership we were told it was because they had just changed the oil and needed to reset the computer. We noticed that when we stopped the car would jump forward and stall. We called the dealership and were told to bring the car back and they would fix it and provide us with a…

The throttle body assembly failed after 70,000 miles. The vehicle would stall at speed, have to be pulled over, stopped, engine turned off and completely restarted. The vehicle had multiple incidences of this nature, and i have been told the problem is a common problem with this year/make/model, that being the throttle body assembly which required replacement. *tr

Bought my fusion in april 2011. Began having problems immediately. Usually happens when the engine is cold, upon accelerating the car would lurch terribly and hesitate. First the dealer could find nothing wrong. Then they decided it was the transmission. Put new transmission in. Kept happening. Finally, it happened when the service manager drove it. Said ford would put new computer in the car. Six weeks later since…

While driving down a major highway at 69 mph with the cruise control on, the car just lost power. I first noticed the headlights went out, then saw the anti theft light illuminate. I tried depressing the gas pedal, but got nothing. Thankfully, i was able to coast out of the passing lane, into the right lane, and eventually to the side of the road without any tragedy. Once along the roadside, i put the car in park…

When driving the vehicle the throttle body fails putting the car into "limp mode". Acceleration is impossible and the car will stall while attempting to safely pull off the road. After a single search online for "ford fusion throttle body" numerous instances of similar failures appear beginning in approximately 2005. The vehicle will lose all ability to accelerate but maintain electrical power until the vehicle…

There was minimal response to throttle input. I was able to pull off the road out of traffic to a safe spot. I left the car running to see what was going on. The tachometer was fluctuating mainly downward as it idled rough. After about…

When i was driving my 2010 ford fusion the wrench light came on and the car lost all power and stalled out. Luckily i wasn't in front of a truck or on the freeway. Very scary my car only has 15391 miles on it. This car was also leaking oil. I am not happy with this car. When i took it to the dealer this problem didn't show up at first so the service person kept the car longer and finally it did the same thing and…

This has happened a number of times since it started a few months ago, but soon after starting and driving down the road, the fusion suddenly loses power, the wrench light comes on the dash, and the idle is very rough. There is no acceleration possible. We have to coast to a stop, turn off the engine, then restart the car. This seems to reset the problem and things get back to normal. We've had the dealer look at it…

Since i purchased my ford fusion in 2010, i have had nothing but problems. Not only mechanical but, also with the dealership. My car shuts off while driving all the time. Additionally, it shakes and jerks. The dealership initially was responsive to my calls and concerns. For the last few months, that has not been the case. The car has been in the shop five different times, to include today ? All for the same thing…
