2008 Ford Fusion Electrical system Problems

“After I purchase my vehicle about 2 1/2 years ago I contacted my dealer multiple times in the past and I let them know it felt like my car was not accelerating properly and I was told that's just how Ford's drive. Eventually the dealer ended up having to replace the coil stating that it had been burned out in the llama problem should be fixed. Now back in august it just got completely worse. …”

“I have replaced the broken bolt on the idler pulley for the second time in 6 months. This is an annoying issue with this engine. Fortunately it happened on statrt up so we were in the driveway. Had it happened on the highway, the loss of power steering could have easily resulted in a fatal crash. The bolt is poorly designed and needs to be larger and or harder. If this is not fixed someone will eventually be killed. How many deaths does it take to warrant attention by Ford???”

“While on a trip to new buffalo, michigan, my 2008 Ford Fusion began to sputter and limp (as if it were running out of gas). The vehicle continued to shake violently, as I pulled over to the side of the road. I then turned off the car and waited a few minutes.

I also had to put 5 batteries in my car because the would be totally dead. The last one even though it was under warranty I had to pay for. Year 2017. I told them to dc my automatic starter because they thought for several yrs. It might be that and it was. …”

“Takata recall: my passenger front seat airbag is faulty and that has been implicated in a number of intermittent, unexplained electrical problems and a constant parasitic drain on my battery requiring a replacement alternator and 2 batteries, so far. Also I have been limited in performing duties of my job which requires transportation of others who (for medical needs) need to be in the front seat for observation. Therefore I have suffered a financial loss as well. I drove this vehicle for 5 years, transporting my own children it the front seat before I received a safety recall notice. …”
