2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid Engine Problems

“While driving on the freeway the car flashes yellow triangle, wrench and the stop safely now. The car loses all power causing you to try to drift to the side of the freeway. It has been in the repair shop for 5 months with certified hybrid mechanics. Was told it was the transmission, that was repaired. The throttle, repaired. Harness wiring replaced along with a new battery. This is an ongoing problem with no resolution. The safety of not just myself, but my family and others have been put at risk. I would like to speak with someone regarding this issue. The car has 125,000 miles on it.”

“When decelerating, my car sometimes jerks , accompanied by multiple warning lights and--dangerously--a total loss of engine power. The car goes dead, in the middle of the road, and has to be restarted by removing the key and reinserting it. This could cause a collision both from behind (by someone who doesn't realize that the car has just died --especially at night), as well as the jerk potentially causing me to collide with someone in front. My dealership told me that Ford had put out a bulletin regarding this issue, which called for the installation of a new wiring harness. …”

“The wrench symbol was displayed on the control panel when the vehicle lost speed. It felt like it stalled out. Then the engine light came on. The car has very low miles on it and is practically brand new. I did not feel safe.”

“Vehicle did a hard stall in the middle of an intersection on three separate occasions. It completely shut off with no warning. The first two incidents happened in the space of a few minutes. After the first incident the car was turned back on and there was no indication anything was wrong. Continued to try and drive it a short distance to get back to the parking lot. It than stalled again turning into the parking lot and a battery light came on. Battery was replaced but the vehicle stalled again a few weeks later during a turn with oncoming traffic. …”

“Normal driving in 55 MPH zone car suddenly would not accelerate past 40 MPH. Noticed wrench light illuminated. Turned car around and proceeded toward home. Engine revved at stopping but could not get out of way of fast traffic. Almost hit in rear several times. Flasher emergency lights necessary. Googled issue to see that it is a defect and NHTSA has decided to let Ford handle resolution. Fox in charge of the hen house again. Thanks again to another government consumer protection agency that will not protect us. …”
