2010 Ford Fusion Power Train

VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AT TIMES AND HESITATE UPON ACCELERATION

HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION. LF CV AXEL SEAL WAS LEAKING. TOOK CAR IN AND HAD BUSHING, SEAL, AND SHAFT REPLACED. DROVE CAR 150 MILES. SAME EXACT ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION LEAK IS A "VERY" COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. NOT ONLY DID I PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE LEAK WITH ALL NEW PARTS, BUT THIS LEAK CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO BLOW. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. HOW DOES A PERSON HAVE ALL NEW PARTS PUT IN TO FIX THE LEAK AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST??? MANUFACTURES SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BY THERE PRODUCTS AND FIX SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR IT LEAKS FLUID. WHAT WILL BE NEXT TO FIX?? MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE FORD WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE DIFFERENT GEAR SELECTION OPTIONS STARTED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN FIFTH GEAR. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO INSIDE BUSHING WEARING OUT AND DAMAGING AXLE AT 58,328 MILES LAST WEEK. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2010 AND HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. LAST WEEK AND OUR MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE/MAINTENANCE CHECK UP. TRANSMISSION AND AXLE HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT $4300. FORD COMPANY SEEMS TO BE "AWARE" OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE FUSIONS AND THIS IS DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE, TO SAY THE LEAST. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOT HAPPY WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. DOESN'T FALL UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD IT LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS. ALSO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP CHARGES $100 JUST TO DO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TEST. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS IN TOWN CHARGE NOTHING.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2009. WITH IN A FEW MONTHS I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE IT WOULD SLAM IN THE GEAR, NOT ALL THE TIME BUT MULTIPLE TIMES EACH MONTH. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AGAIN RANDOMLY. DEALER CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WILL PUT THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED BELOW AS I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED

AS WE DROVE OVER THE OVERPASS, SLOWING TO COME TO A STOP SIGN ONTO THE FOUR LANE INTO TOWN, OUR CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE DRIVING LANE. WE WERE LATER TOLD THE PTU ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP INTERNALLY, MAKING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY UNMOVABLE FORWARD NOR BACKWARDS UNTIL REPLACED. NO HISTORY NOR SYMPTOMS OF ISSUES BEFORE THIS. IT WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LARGE ACCIDENT IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC, IF IT HAD OCCURRED EARLIER IN THE DAY AS IT COULD NOT BE MOVED, NOR HAD WE ANY SIGNS AT THE TIME. WE WERE STUCK IN DRIVING LANE LATE IN THE EVENING, WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK TO HAUL IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED IT, AT OUR EXPENSE, WITH THE MECHANIC, NOTING HE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF HIS OWN. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL NOR EGRESS FOR US TO RESOLVE THIS ANY OTHER WAY. WE HAVE THE PAYMENT AND SERVICE ORDER AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW. THIS IS QUITE DISTURBING, AS IT WAS OVER $1800 OUT OF POCKET FOR JUST THIS REPAIR, WHICH I FOUND WAS A MORE COMMON ISSUE THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. I FOUND OUR THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT FOR ONLY CERTAIN PLANTS, ALTHOUGH OTHERS NOTED THE SAME ISSUES AS WELL. TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN PLANTS IS A CONCERN, AS THEY KNOW OF THE ISSUE AND HAZARDS OF IT, BUT DID NOT FEEL IT PERTINENT TO RELAY THIS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO USED THEIR PRODUCT, AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT KNOWING OF RISKS. I JUST FOUND OUT OF THIS AVENUE TODAY TO HELP OTHERS KNOW OF THIS AND TAKE ACTION TO AVOID FURTHER ISSUES AND SAFETY RISKS.

I HAVE NOTICED A VIBRATION IN MY CAR AT ABOUT 55-65 MPH, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT IT IS THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT FOR MY AWD. I AM A MECHANIC AND CALLED FORD FOR THEM TO VERIFY THAT THE FLUID IS NON SERVICABLE AND IS GOOD FOR A LIFE TIME. THIS IS CRAZY BECAUSE A NEW ONE IS $900 OR MORE NOT INCLUDING LABOR, AND BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SERVICABLE EVERY ABOUT 80,000 - 100,000 MILES YOU WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT. WHO HAS $2,000 TO SPEND EVERY TIME THIS BREAKS TO FIX IT. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND FORD SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

FORD KNOWS OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK IN THE CARS BUT FORD AND NHTSA WONT DO A RECALL ON THEM AND IT IS COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. FORD RAN A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ON IT BUT THE OF COURSE STOPPED IT. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ALLOW FORD TO SCREW THE PUBLIC ON A MAJOR REPAIR.

ROLLS WHILE IN PARK

HARD & ROUGH SHIFTING FROM 1-2 DURING STARTUP AND DRIVING. TRANSMISSION JOLTS VEHICLE FORWARD OR FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL MID-INTERSECTION OR WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS ROUGHLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

DELAYED SHIFTING, ENGINE REVS WITH LITTLE PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL AND CAR LURCHES FORWARD VIOLENTLY.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION STARTED EXPIERENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT LAST WEEK. THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR SLAMED INTO GEAR. I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIR. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION PROIR TO THIS EVENT. THE CAR HAS EXACTLY 111,856 MILES ON IT TO DATE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID AN UPDATE ON THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CAR WAS FOUND TO NEED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT FORD FUSIONS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I CONTACTED FORD SO THAT THEY COULD DOCUMENT YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT ONE OF THEIR FUSIONS HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND ASKED THAT THERE BE A RECALL ISSUED. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF ISSUING A RECALL. SO I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THEM TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED DUE TO A TRANMSSION FAILURE ON THE ROAD.

LOSS OF POWER DURING ACCELERATION, DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THE ENGINE RUNS AT HIGH RPM, BUT CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER CAR/TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR HOUR OR MORE. IT APPEARS BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHING, TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 6F35 TRANSMISSIONS IN FUSIONS AND ESCAPES. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON CITY DRIVING - WHICH AFTER IT IS ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS IN THE TOP GEAR. ON HOT DAY, WHEN THE CAR IS WELL WARMED UP, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IS VERY DIFFICULT AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

REPORTED MY FORD FUSION ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE YESTERDAY. LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY - TERRIFYING EXERIENCE. IT IS FIELD SERVICE ACTION 13N03. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THE WRENCH LIGHT IS NOT ON RIGHT NOW. READING POST, OTHER OWNERS STATE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF UNTIL CAR IS DRIVABLE. MY CAR JUST STARTED ACTING UP, BUT I CAN'T GET IT FIXED SINCE IT IS NOT A RECALL. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE ATTACHED MY CONVERSATION WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CHAT.

THROTTLE BODY ACCELERATOR. STARTED THE VEHICLE, ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT ON. CAR ACCELERATION WAS JERKY, ALMOST STALLED, AND UNDERPOWERED. INTERNET STATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL.

SINCE THE RECALL WAS DONE, MY POWERTRAIN HAS NOT RAN RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS THE PROBLEM, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEMS UNTIL AFTERWARDS. PROBLEM STARTS IN THE MORNING.

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION A WRENCH ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH AND I HAVE BOTH P2111 AND P2112 TROUBLE CODES WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND BE RESTARTED IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE. 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID WITH 46,900 MILES ON IT.

THE WRENCH LIGHT IS ON AND I LOST POWER AND SPEED I WAS ON A STREET.

CAR IN MOTION RAPIDLY DECELERATED ON MAJOR HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 65 MPH. CODE ON COMPUTER SHOWED A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. FORD HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY

LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AFTER DEFECTIVE AXLE SHAFT WORE SEAL DOWN. MULTIPLE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING JUST LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS I'M READING ABOUT ON FORUMS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CONSTANTLY REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WORN AXLE SHAFT SEAL AT ONLY 83,000 MILES. POSSIBLE POOR SURFACE FINISH ON THE AXLE SHAFT. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE DRIVERS FRONT HALF SHAFT.

ON SATURDAY 08/08/2015 I HAD A CLOSE CALL. MY FORD FUSION LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND POWER. I WAS GOING ABOUT 55MPH AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE LANE BUT ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND ABOUT 3 TIMES. MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR AND WAS SO SCARED THAT SHE TOOK A TAXI HOME AND WOULD NOT GET BACK IN THE CAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT FORD DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM, OR MAYBE WHEN SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPEN THAT IS WHEN THEY WILL STEP IN BUT IT WILL BE TOO LATE. I RECENTLY SPEND $350 TO GET MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT FIX AND I AM GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS LOSS OF POWER FIXED TOO. I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP MY FORD ANYMORE BUT I AM ALSO AFRAID TO SELL TO SOMEONE AND HAVE THAT PERSON RISK THEIR LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!
