My vehicle was moving in a parking lot when the engine suddenly began to misfire and stalled. the ford dealership told me the engine suffered a catastrophic failure. this happened without warning. all maintenance was preformed on time or ahead of schedule. this catastrophic failure happened with less than 100,000 miles. ford would not cover this under warranty. from what research i have found this is a common problem with fords 3.5 liter cyclone engines. the water pump failes resulting in catastrophic engine failure. if this problem would occur at highway speeds no power steering or brakes would be operable,possibly resulting in accidents. this is an unacceptable situation!, not to mention a costly repair bill. thank you for your consideration on this matter

This issue corresponds to nhtsa action number: pe13003, electronic throttle body malfunction. i just took my fusion in to have the part replaced again. the first time it happened was at 50k miles, the second time it happened was at 100k miles, and i can guess when it's going to happen again. they also just replaced the part. i asked them about the software update that's listed in nhtsa remedy write up, but they told me there is no software update in their system. merely replacing one defective part with an identical defective part is not the solution, it just kicks the problem down the road.

2011 ford fusion se had a transmission problem while it was still under warranty (nov. 2013). our vehicle recently had trouble accelerating and shifting between gears. we took our car to a mechanic and he informed us that 3 gears in the transmission broke and we need a new transmission. this car only has 55k miles on it and this is the second transmission problem we've had!! the mechanic said he's never seen a transmission go this early, but reading reviews online of 2011 ford fusions, it seems like this is more common than we'd like to think.
