Problems with 2010 Ford Fusion VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Intermittently my brakes will go out, most often this happens after the vehicle has been off and i turn it off and try to reverse though it also happens when in drive. it has happens on access roads, the highway, my driveway and most often in parking lots. my car will roll and be completely unresponsive to the fact that i have my foot on the brake. the brake pedal goes soft and i can press it all the way to the floor. my brake light, abs light, etc on the dashboard all light up and my car keeps rolling. i try turning my vehicle on and off as sometimes even the emergency brake or putting the car in park will not get the vehicle to stop. i have almost hit other cars and pedestrians because of this issue and it is highly dangerous and come to find out a known glitch for some 2010 ford fusions.

Middle of freeway driving, car deaccellerated and went into limp home mode. safely stopped and error cleared on restart. dealer replaced electronic throttle body, technician indicated the test graph had a spike upon testing. likely unit of failure.

I had already gotten my throttle body repaired the year before my car started jolting as if it was malfunctioning again. this time though the vehicle would jump when i tried accelerate from stop, rpms would go all the way up to 5 before switching gears and the speedometer would move up and down while electrical lights flickered. took it to ford and nothing was found so i got an oil change and transmission flush. that same day the car started doing it again. i took the car back to ford they offered to clean the throttle body and returned the car the next day. not even 24hrs after started the same problem. i took car to auto zone they immediately found an error for the camshaft position sensor. brought car back to ford where they had me leave it for two days for the transmission tech to look at it. they then said oil had leaked onto the sensor causing the car to drive that way. replaced that and the head that was leaking. car was still jolting and driving as if throttle body was messed up but worse. i brought my car back that same week they found ...

Rapid deceleration: while driving on the freeway rapid deceleration occurred. car slowed to about 25mph and would not accelerate when gas pedal was pushed. exited freeway.. turned engine off and restarted. car operated normal. no error icons showed. about a half mile from home problem reoccurred crawled home at 10mph. next several days problem did not reoccur. about a week later same problem reoccurred while driving home ..10mph. spoke to ford service to see if they would cover repairs and they declined. took it to my repair shop and they replaced the throttle body. $600. very scary dangerous situation when this occurs on the freeway.

On 3 seperate occasions i have experienced sudden rapid acceleration with my auto. first while slowly accelerating from a parking spot in a crowded department store parking lot. second while slowly moving forward in a fast food drive thru line. barely missing the vehicle in front of me. and third while slowing down approaching a stop sign again moving slow exiting a parking lot. all three times i've had to almost stand on the brake to stop and shift to neutral and kill the engine. the vehicle is a 2010 ford fusion with apprx 130,000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while reversing into a parking space, the engine suddenly revved very high before the vehicle suddenly accelerated. after turning the vehicle off and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally; however, the failure recurred approximately four hours later. while at a stop light, the engine suddenly began to rev very high and the engine suddenly accelerated. while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward and caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. the driver shifted into park to stop the vehicle. there was a car in front of me and a car in back of me. car violently shook and sped forward at a fast speed. car veered into oncoming traffic and went up over the curb. consumer's foot was on the brake the whole time. consumer put the car in park and the vehicle stopped. engine was racing. the vehicle was taken to jd byrider (1561 west liberty ave, pittsburgh, pa) where it was diagnosed that the motor mount was faulty and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 90,000. *bf*jb

While driving fusion service down highway sunday(12-16-18) service power steering now light came on & couldn't turn steering wheel without complications & had to get home to park car before i hit something due to steering wheel too hard to steer, car shaking, and couldn't hardly keep in lane. the service advance light also came on & both remain on & little to no control left to steer the car so car remains parked. ford knows there are issues with this part and extremely costly repairs and part is a necessity to safely operate the car. this part should be recalled and repaired at the cost of ford motor not their customers who seek a safe car to transport themselves and their families in.

I bought the car used the end of july 2018 for my daughter to drive. she informed me today that from time to time it as if the car stalls out when driving it or when she tries to accelerate. i did some research online just a few minutes ago and found that this is a common problem. see the link attached: https://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/fusion/2010/engine/sudden_deceleration_loss_of_power.shtml this was just from one website and there are several others with the same issue. it would seem to me that this is a safety issue. my question is if this has been brought to your attention, why would you not do something about it? not being able to accelerate when in traffic can be extremely dangerous and could lead to car accidents. she is living in atlanta and i am in orlando so she just mentioned it today when i talked to her but she said it has happened a few times since she has had it the last few months.

Takata recall i was driving and the car began to slow down rapidly. i was unable to control where i was going and unable to accelerate or decelerate. i have no control over the vehicle when this happens. it is not an all the time problem, but does happen very often. the check engine light comes on when it happens and the car accelerates briefly before instantly shutting off. the wrench symbol also comes on before this all takes place. i could be using cruise control or just normal driving and it happens in both situations. the vehicle tends to do it no matter where you are such as a high way or on a regular city street. i have had the vehicle checked out numerous (six) times to see why it does this. the mechanic hooks it up to the computer every time and states there is nothing wrong but then resets the symbol lights so they go out. the car will be fine for a week or so and then do it again! it is scary when it happens and i try not to drive the car due to this issue. how can you ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. while driving, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. when the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it operated normally. the vehicle was taken to the dealer cloninger ford (1241 us hwy 70 se, hickory, nc 28602), but the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 56,000.

April 30, 2018 after driving for 3 hours on the highway at appr. 75 to 80 mph the dash lights went haywire, flickering and then the service advancetrac warning came d. i was able to drive it to my exit and drive slowly. i could stop and go very slow. after a mile or 2 the batter light and all the lights came on and the brake light warning light came on. i could feel the car loosing power so i pulled over. at this time it was also chiming that the cross fault system was not available. after turning the car off, it would not start, the radio would play, lights would work and hazards would work .the steering was hard to turn the car was towed to a mechanic shop and i am awaiting a diagnosis. earlier on april 16, i received a letter from ford stating they would no longer host the vehicle health report system.

The wrench light come on and i lost acceleration. very hazardous situation. the throttle body needs replacing. this should be a recall.

While driving my vehicle the service advancetrac warning light came on. my vehicle would not accelerate appropriately and then would not be in gear. i have taken it to the dealer and they replaced sensors etc. they have identified that the steering rack and pinion will need to be replaced. when i researched this i found that this is a common issue for this vehicle and that a recall had in fact been instituted for 2011 and newer models. this is a problem in vehicles from 2010 as well. there is no reason owners of 2010 models should have to pay the expense to fix this dangerous vehicle failure when new model owners do not. the part itself (for aftermarket) costs $1000.

My car while i was driving had an issue where it decelerated on its own and there was no gas pedal....throwing a throttle actuator ccontrol system code saying was stuck open...this has happened a couple times now but code cleared before could look at...took to les stumpf ford they are telling me they can't do anything til the code stasys on for therm to test....so i am supposed to drive an unsafe vehicle for a known prooblem that the company was sued about and created a customer satisfaction extended warranty instead of recalling it until it does it again....and i am at about 142000 and only covers til 150000
