2010 Ford Fusion Problems

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The traction control warning light was illuminated. The contact decelerated and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was turned off and restarted. The vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The 2010 Ford fusion has 2584 complaints the second highest from 2010 to 2014; mine has been giving me intermittent issues for 3 years now and some times there is no error code and inspection cannot find anything wrong- but for 2010 year their has been none even though those years are the same generation car. Thats not fair stopping at 2011-the 2010 is the same car with the same issue-issue a recall; people are getting these expensive repairs and the issue comes back sometimes!!! Give us the same recall for the same car!!! 2010: (2584 complaints) 2011: (500) 2012: (3000) 2013: (2000) 2014: (1000) Your recall does not encompass the whole generations years; agian the same car as the 11's to14's

My brakes failed but I had them changed twice and that wasn’t the problem I had the cylinder change and still no brakes when I bought it it had some issues with the brakes going to the floor

Electronic Throttle Body Car lost power on busy, construction road Manufacturer issued secret warranty to owners and did not send out notice Multiple certified mechanics have inspected the vehicle Check engine, ABS, service advance trac, and power train lights were on and i am uncertain when they first came on

I was driving my car down the road and all the sudden I couldn't steer my car It caused me to go off the road and hit a ditch

Unintended acceleration event. Entered vehicle, put my foot on the brake, cranked it, held in that position while seatbelting. Engine had a VERY loud revving sound. Within seconds vehicle moving backwards on its own. Foot still on the brake, had not touched gas pedal, had not touched gear shifter, and was still sitting straight forward with my foot on the brake and confirmed gear shifter in park. The car quickly accelerated backwards faster and brake pedal had no effect on stopping or slowing vehicle. Went approx. 30’ across parking lot and only stopped because we hit truck parked behind us. Quickly turned off engine and removed keys. Shifter still shows Park. Careful driver. No history of accidents. I found there were several thousand reported events of unintended acceleration (Ford vehicles 2002 to 2010). Ford tried to explain many as driver error or floor mat touching the gas pedal. My mat was clipped down, as designed, with no all-weather mat on top of them, and my foot did not leave the brake pedal. AI says revving as described is "classic behavior of failing Electronic Throttle Body on 2010 Fords", "Surging without touching the pedal and known defect are extremely common". Says if "Worn or failing shifter linkage/bushings vibration form high revving could make it slip into Reverse". Ford has a 19S54 recall for AntiLock Brake Systems (not notified), where "A normally closed valve may be stuck open, which may result in extended brake pedal travel". Ford reports on similar vehicles "lunging" was due to deposits in the throttle body. Ford has installed brake override on vehicles after 2010 but that doesn't protect people driving older vehicles. Please look at combo of factors that could cause this. Disappointed to read Ford purged customer acceleration reports prior to hold 5 yrs and an expert they provided at trial was someone sheltered from all research Ford had on this issue so he pushed "driver error" as the case. Clearly not here.

The throttle body failed. It is not available for inspection because it was replaced. While driving on a high-speed road, the engine felt like it shuddered, and the car lost engine power and would no longer accelerate. At the same time, the light shaped like a wrench came on. Our safety was therefore put at risk because we could now barely accelerate, and could easily have been rear-ended. The problem was confirmed and repaired by an independent service center. After doing the repair, the service center informed us that there was a Ford Customer Satisfaction Service Bulletin (13NO3) for this problem. We called Ford about this bulletin and were told that the Bulletin was limited to ten years or 150,000 miles, whichever came first. Even though our car is over ten years old, it only has 87,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, there was a strong fuel odor entering the cabin of the vehicle that lingered for days. The contact's grandson then discovered that fuel was leaking from the rear driver side of the vehicle. The contact continued driving the vehicle, and the vehicle shut off while driving 50 MPH on the highway. The contact restarted the vehicle, and the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact coasted the vehicle while in neutral(N) to a safe area. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who discovered a crack in the fuel tank and a defective purge valve. Upon investigation, the contact's grandson discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V793000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), which was linked to the failure. The dealer was notified about the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle remained unrepaired with the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

my car was rear ended in an accident somebody ran into the back of my car while i was stopped/parked at a stop light.. the impact was so hard that i crashed into another vehicle that was in front of me. I was wearing a seatbelt at the time but somehow still hit my head on the steering wheel and suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury because the seatbelt didn’t secure me and the airbags didn’t deploy.

Was driving down parkway when came up on my exit it was hard to make the turn to even go up. The exit ramp the power steering light and the advanced track light and brake system. Light all came on flashing across the message screen one after another. Thank god I was able to get vehicle pulled over to shoulder and had it towed home. Also needs airbags replaced due to recall! I have contacted two local Ford dealers trying to get an appointment. Also messaged one through their website. On the phone calls I was placed on hold until the phone to shut off. Tried to call back and they just said please hold and put me right back on hold and I’ve never received a message back.

The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) failed internally due to a stuck valve. The component remains on the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. While braking normally on a public road, the vehicle hit a minor road bump, causing the ABS to momentarily engage. Immediately following the bump, the brake pedal lost all hydraulic resistance and dropped severely to the floorboard. The vehicle experienced an immediate, drastic reduction in stopping power and an extended braking distance, nearly causing a collision. This sudden loss of braking capability puts the driver, passengers, and other motorists at immediate risk of a severe accident. There were absolutely no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms prior to hitting the road bump. The braking system functioned completely normally until the exact moment the ABS was triggered by the uneven road surface. The vehicle and its components have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. This identical safety-compromising failure mode (loss of pedal pressure immediately following ABS activation on a bump) is a thoroughly documented defect covered by Ford under Safety Recall 19S54 and Customer Satisfaction Program 21N11. However, because this specific vehicle has a production date falling just outside of Ford's arbitrary manufacturing window (which cut off on July 15, 2009), the vehicle is barred from receiving the safety remedy. This vehicle uses the exact same layout and suffers from the exact same dangerous safety defect. The NHTSA needs to investigate and force an expansion of the vehicle build dates for this recall before this known defect causes a fatal crash.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Several warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with an ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer made two attempts to replace the part with an aftermarket part. The ABS module was shipped out for the repair; however, the dealer was informed that the part could not be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. While attempting to trade the vehicle, the contact was informed that the odometer had been rolled back, as indicated on the Carfax Report. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 86,785. It was discovered that the mileage was 125,121. The initial Carfax Report had no indication of odometer fraud. The North Carolina Department of Transportation was contacted, and a complaint was filed.

Lug studs keep breaking off while driving

We were made aware of Recall 11V574000 by our automotive shop, which applies to lugs/nuts/bolts on 2010 Ford Fusions, but only starting with manufacturer dates April 2009. This vehicle is dated February 2009, but we have replaced lugs/nuts/bolts at least 6 times in the past 5 years, clearly having the same problem. It has been an expensive, constantly reoccurring problem.

Advanced power steering light came on and my steering wheel was hard to turn. The body underneath came apart, and the transmission recall is being handled by my attorney.

Couldn't move steering wheel all of a sudden, drove to store and when I got back in my car, I couldn't turn the wheel and had to get it towed. Nothing happened or changed on the way to the store. When car was first bought, steering would lock up while driving on highway and almost caused accidents multiple times.

Since the accident i’ve continued to have headaches, signs of short term memory loss, and having trouble finding words sometimes.

FROM DAY OF PURCHASE THERE HAS BEEN A FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. WHEN I CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD IT JUST SMEARS. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT CAST A LIGHT FAR ENOUGH IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ON LOW BEAM. EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING MUST HAVE HIGH BEAMS ON AND FOG LIGHTS AT ALL TIMES, PLEASE CHECK THIS

While driving 45mph on a smooth road, the tire sidewall blew out. Tire torn in several places. No sign of any contributing damage that could have caused the problem, nor was there a pothole or road debris. Tires are from 2019, and had 25,000 miles of use.

DASH PANEL INDICATED DOOR AJAR, EMERGENCY AND OTHER BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, TIRE PRESSURE LOW, INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON, BLINKERS NO LONGER WORK. THIS ALL HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN A FLAT STREET, 25 MPH, WEATHER WAS 65 DEGREES, DRY WEATHER, DURING THE DAY. *TR

Low beam headlights are so dim I can only see maybe 5' in front of me.
