I purchased a new 2010 ford fusion hybrid se from a ford dealership in fairfax, va. after owning the vehicle for approximately 9 years, the vehicle no longer operates in electric mode (it only operates in gas mode). my average mpg has dropped from 37-40 mpg to 25-27 mpg. i took it to a ford dealership service center manassas, va in nov 2019 who indicated they are aware of the problem but they have no solution to fix it (they initially were going to charge me $150 diagnostic fee but waived the fee and sent me home). there are numerous reports in ford vehicle forums with the same complaint. consensus is that ford programmed the electronic mode to stop working after 9 years. when i purchased the vehicle, there was no disclosure that i would no longer have a properly working hybrid after 9 years. this end-of-life decision would have to be programmed into the vehicle's ecu at the time of manufacturing and should have been disclosed by ford at the time of purchase. had ford disclosed this, it would have directly impacted my decision to purchase the vehicle. the fix appears to be reprogramming the vehicle to make it ...
In motion on highway with cruise control car dashboard shows 'stop safely now' loose acceleration. turn car off then back on and can drive. check engine light on. told vacuum pump creating issue. replaced and car okay. while in motion on highway during acceleration 'stop safely now' entire car shuts down while driving. loss of brakes, steering, acceleration. get car towed back to shop and told acid leak degraded wire harness. but also told they can't ensure the car will be fixed from repairing. how does a battery leak so bad without any cracks. no shop can confirm the acid leak is causing the brake issue. possible abs module, electronic control, o2 sensor replacement too.
My 2010 ford fusion had the service power steering light come on while driving down the highway, and then the power steering went out and the service advancetrac came on. i called the dealership and even though my car has two open recalls for airbags and fuel tank, along with an extended one on my throttle body, they can't get my car in until next month. i've tried disconnecting the battery terminals, and replaced the battery in hopes that it would reset the computer as the car does not have a power steering pump and is controlled by a computer chip.
After pumping gas in the vehicle, the engine does not turn on. the engine chokes and turns directly to battery mode. you must floor the gas pedal 3 to 4 different times in order for the vehicle to start. must sit and wait about 5 minutes for the idleing to stop before putting car into drive mode.
Car no longer converting to electric vehicle as it used to under similar circumstances. only time it switches to electric vehicle is when brake is depressed, coasting down hill or at a stop. dealer has run ford diagnostics and has no idea what is wrong. the same issue is being reported on various websites.
We had driven to a football game, when we returned to the car it would not start. all the lights worked, it turned over perfectly every time, but it would not start. had it towed to the mechanic in the morning and it started for them. however, after multiple test they were able to get it to stop starting. checked the codes and it said o2 sensor. replaced o2 sensor. car died on my way home from the mechanic while pulling out onto the highway from a stop sign where vehicles are traveling 60mph with my two small children in the car. terrifying! i barely chugged across the lanes and got the nose of my car on the shoulder. i turned the car off and after a few tries it restarted. when i got home, i took the battery cables off the battery for the weekend as i read that could help the faulty computer issue. so far, i have not experienced this issue again. a couple of weeks before this, i noticed that at speeds of 50 mph the car felt like it was speeding up and slowing down really fast like pulsing.

I was driving 70 mph down the highway and my car just quit running. a few warning lights came on and i pulled over to the shoulder of the road. i was able to restart the car and merged onto the highway; the car quickly died again. i had the car towed home and was unable to start the car again since the anti-theft lock light was on. i had the car towed to a dealership and i am waiting to hear back from them.

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 ...
My car is having tank issues. it will not go even if you press the gas. it begin to jerk then cut off and continue to drain my battery. if try to start won't stay started was told it was fuel pump leaking. it was being driven on the highway begin to smell fuel.
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.
