PURCHASED A NEW 2010 FORD FUSION SE I-4 IN OCTOBER, 2009. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND NOTICED A WATER-SLOSHING/WATERFALL SOUND (SIMILAR TO A DISHWASHER) COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AREA UPON START-UP AND LOW ACCELERATION IN COLD WEATHER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM TO PERFORM SERVICE. AFTER 5 VISITS AND NEARLY 1 YEAR LATER, THE ISSUE IS STILL REMAINING. FORD HAS ISSUED 2 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE ISSUE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE SOUND, BUT MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY OR DRIVE-ABILITY ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS AIR BUBBLES TRAPPED IN THE HEATER CORE, BUT DURING A SERVICE VISIT, NO AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE HEATER CORE SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION S. WE BOUGHT IT IN MAY AND IT HAVE A STARTING UP PROBLEM. WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT (AFTER HOLDING THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS...AS IT SHOULD BE) , IT DOESN'T START AND THEN AFTER LETTING THE KEY "GO", THE CAR KEEPS TRYING TO START HIMSELF UP. THIS MAKES A WEIRD NOISE OFFCOURSE....AND THEN YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY TURN DOWN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION FOR IT TO STOP TRYING . THIS MORNING WAS THE FIFTH TIME ALREADY THIS HAPPENED. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO TRY 3 TIMES BEFORE FINALLY GETTING THE CAR TO START UP. THIS CAR WILL BE GOING TO THE SERVICE/REPAIR DEP. SOON AT THE DEALER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS OCCURS ALREADY , AND THE CAR IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD ! *TR

I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. I WAS PULLING MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE TO PARK IT. I HAD SLOWED MY CAR DOWN VERY SLOWLY BEFORE I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS "IDLING" INTO THE DRIVEWAY. ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE WALL AND 2 FEET FROM WHERE I USUALLY STOP, THE ACCELERATOR SLOWLY PULLED DOWN TOWARD THE FLOOR. IT TOOK ME ONE OR TWO SECONDS TO REALIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. DURING THAT TIME, MY CAR MOVED HEAD ON TOWARD THE GARAGE WALL. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED. THE CAR HAD ALREADY SLAMMED STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL OF MY GARAGE. MY TODDLER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR AND STARTED CRYING. I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I LOVED THAT CAR AND ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT IT WAS THE PERFECT CAR. NOW, I HAVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND TO MY HOUSE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND A PERSON COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BETWEEN MY CAR AND THAT GARAGE. I WAS GOING TO GO TO A POPULAR GROCERY STORE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DAY. BUT, I DECIDED NOT TO DO SO BECAUSE MY TODDLER WAS LOOKING SLEEPY. IF I HAD GONE TO THE STORE, I COULD HAVE RUN A SHOPPER OVER WITH MY OUT-OF-CONTROL CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. THEY DID NOT CALL ME BACK. *TR
