2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Suspension Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Suspension reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

LEFT FRONT AXEL BROKE FOR NO REASON AT ALL. DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. ALWAYS KEPT THE CAR MAINTAINED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2010 AND HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS UNTIL YESTERDAY. AXEL BROKE AS I DROVE SLOWLY ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. FORD REPAIR IS BAFFLED WHY IT BROKE. COULD HAVE KILLED US AND SOMEBODY ELSE IF I HAD CAR LOADED UP WITH PEOPLE AND ON A FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. THE STEERING LOST CONTROL AFTER AXEL BROKE. *TR
