2010 Ford Fusion Suspension Problems

Bad sub frame transmission mount. Engine shake about pop out

DELAYED EXCLAMATION WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOWING DOWN FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TIE ROD BREAKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'VE HAD IT FIXED 5 TIMES IN ONE YEAR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY SPRINGS ON MY CAR AFTER IT IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD. THS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE NORMAL.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 15 MPH STRAIGHT AHEAD, WENT OVER A VERY SMALL BUMP, A BIG NOISE AND THE FRONT END ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SUDDENLY DROPPED. INSPECTION REVEALED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SPRING HAD RUSTED OUT AND BROKEN NEAR THE BOTTOM CAUSING THE SPRING TO SLIP OUT AND PUTTING ALL THE WEIGHT ON THE STRUT CAUSING THE FRONT END TO COLLAPSE ON THAT SIDE. TURNS OUT THE FRONT PASSENGER FRONT SPRING WAS ALSO RUSTED EXTENSIVELY AT THE BOTTOM ALTHOUGH IT HAD NOT YET BROKEN. ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT SPRING/STRUT ASSEMBLIES. CONCERNED THAT IF THIS HAD BROKEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE, COULD OF CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL. THINKING THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE LIMITED TO NORTHERN STATES WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED MORE HEAVILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V222000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING INTO A MODERATE LEFT CURVE ON A NARROW TWO LANE CITY STREET THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL ALLOWING THE CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ONE MINOR INJURY TO A PASSENGER. CAR WAS TOTALED. NO TICKETS WERE ISSUED. THE CAR WAS UNDER A RECALL 15S34FOR SOME PROBLEM WITH THE PTCM AND FUEL TANK AND CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND WAS SCHEDULED TO REPAIRED 04/27/16. RECALL WAS FIRST RECEVIED ON 01//2016 BUT THE REPAIR OK WAS RECEIVED IN 04/16. THERE IS ALSO A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION ON THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON THIS YR FORD FUSION.

WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC COMMING OFF OF THE FREE WAY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ACCELERATED TO MERGE AFTE I HAD A OPENING TO MERGE I ACCELERATED TO MERGE AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I HIT HIM FROM BEHIND. THERE WAS OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OVER A BUMP, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE JOINT AND STUB ASSEMBLY, THE AXLE BUSHING, AND THE SEAL KIT WERE REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE JOINT AND STUB ASSEMBLY, AXLE BUSHING AND SEAL KIT FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,862.

WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE, THE CAR MADE A VERY LOUD BANG. I LOOKED AT THE CAR TO FIND THE FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL WAY UP INTO THE FENDER WELL. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BROKEN BALL JOINT. ONCE THE CAR WAS LIFTED, I FOUND THE COIL SPRING HAD SNAPPED, JUST SITTING THERE!! I ALSO FOUND THAT IT HAD BEEN BROKEN IN TWO SPOTS AS ON ONE BREAK IT WAS RUSTED AND THE NEW BREAK WAS FRESH. MY FAMILY DRIVES THE CAR A LOT AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT IT HAPPENED IN MY GARAGE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! I AM OFF NOW TO SEE HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO SET ME BACK. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS AND THAT OTHERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. *TR

HAD MY FUSION PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE DRIVERS COIL SPRING BROKE / COLLAPSED. TOOK COIL AND STRUT ASSAY TO LOCAL MA FORD DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT ANY WARRANTY OR HELP FROM FORD, THEY TOLD ME THIS ISSUE WASN'T COVERED BY ANY RECALLS AND THAT I WOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. KNOWING THAT ONE COIL SPRING BROKE I WENT HOME AND REMOVED THE PASS SIDE COIL / STRUT ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT COIL BROKEN AND READY TO COLLAPSE AS WELL. I AM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE ISN'T A HUGE SAFETY WARNING TO FORD AND THE PUBLIC. I HAVE JUST ORDERED $600 WORTH OF PARTS TO REPAIR MY CAR, IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE IF I HAD A GARAGE REPAIR THIS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT ONLY ON THE REPUTATION OF RELIABILITY BUT ALSO FOR THE SAFETY IN CRASH TESTS AND ALL THE AIR BAGS THAT ARE PROBABLY BEING RECALLED SHORTLY. I WILL NOW GO CHECK MY REAR COILS AS I DON'T TRUST THESE PARTS ANY LONGER. IF FORD WANTS TO HAVE REPEAT CUSTOMERS THEY OUGHT TO KEEP OUR FAMILIES SAFE AND ALIVE TO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS!! *TR

I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION SE. SIX WEEKS PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 13, 2013, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY SHAKE OR SOMETIMES JERK! ON THE EVENING OF NOVEMBER 13TH, I WAS DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE FROM HOME IN THE DARK. I CAME TO COMPLETE STOP AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY THREE TIMES AND THEN THE ENGINE STALLED! I WAS STUCK AT A RIGHT TURN LANE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER OR TO LET ANY CARS GO BY! IN FACT MANY DRIVERS BEHIND ME WERE VERY IMPATIENT HONKING THEIR HORNS AND SQUEEZING BY AROUND THE CORNER! AS I WAS PANICKING I NOTICED THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHT ON AND DID NOT NOTICED ANY OTHER IDIOT LIGHTS ON. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND COULD NOT MOVE, I NOTICED I COULD PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE! I WAS ABLE DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER INTO THE GAS STATION, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION JERKED AND MADE A LOUD "CLUNK" NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING LIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE "SURGED" THRU THE GAS STATION, FINDING MYSELF AT A FAST SPEED I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES! THAT EVENING I WENT ONTO THE INTERNET AND SAW HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY!" ALL OF THESE CUSTOMERS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE OR VERY SIMILAR TO MINE! I WAS VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR TWENTY MILES TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE MADE IT THERE WITHOUT STALLING. THE TECHNICIANS RAN A TEST ON THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY"AND TO MY SURPRISE THE VEHICLE PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. ALSO ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS TOOK THE CAR HOME TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN SO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD COVER THIS EXPENSE WITH A RENTAL CAR! FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY" WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE OF $430.00. I KNEW THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT DISAPPEAR OR GO AWAY OR IMPROVE AND NOBODY'S LIFE IS WORTH A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS! *TR
