CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford significantly updated the Fusion for the 2010 model year. We wish they hadn't

Throttle body issues have led to a ton of reports about a sudden deceleration and loss of power while driving. Ford issued a “customer satisfaction program” in March 2014 that, unsurprisingly, has left very few customers satisfied.

2010 is also the year we started seeing complaints about the power steering failing. Throttle and steering failure? Yeah, that’s why this is a clunker.

Fusion SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,285 miles

Took the car in under warranty because the when the heat set at floor only barely seems to come out. If you set it to defrost and floor that's the only way it comes out where you can actually feel it but it also comes out the vents that hit the window which in turns hits your face. I hate heat blowing on my face. The only heat I ever use in any car I've had is the floor heat other than to defrost the windows. The dealership's explanation for this was, "that's just they way they make all cars now and there's no fix." If Ford believes this is the standard they are definitely below standard in my book because I know for a fact that statement isn't true about the floor heat.

problem #1

Fusion SE 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

When you crank on the heat it's plenty warm on the upper body. The problem is I would rather have heat hitting my feet rather than my face and upper body. There is almost no heat coming out of the front driver's side floor vent and my feet freeze. It doesn't matter if you set the heat to only hit your feet...there's almost no heat output at all.
