“My vehicle came with the standard cloth floor mats, but my dealer threw in the factory rubber ones from another Fusion free of charge. I've had my vehicle a little over a year now and twice I have had a sticking accelerator pedal. The floor mat creeps forward and will sometimes catch the accelerator pedal just right and keep the pedal at whatever throttle setting it was last at. …”

“At times I am unable to read any information in the instrument cluster area. Instruments are covered by a dark plastic and when the sun shines in the area of the instruments, you can not see them. My concern is the speed I am traveling.”

“I have a 2010 Ford Fusion I bought it brand new in july 2010, already I have had to replace the radiator it was not covered under the manufac warranty. There is slots in the grill of the car pretty big they told me a rock must of went thru there when I was driving and made the hole in the radiator my insurance had to pay and I paid my 300 deductible . For a couple weeks prior to that I heard a gurgling sound under the dash board. Good thing I went to the dealer the day I did because the heat was blowing cold air. …”

“I was very worried when my car appeared to just turn off as I was slowing down from the interstate. I thought it was a fluke, bad connection and hoped it would never do it again. Car did start back up with no issues, that day. Unfortunately, it happened a lot on saturday 7/20/13. I parked the car and never drove it sunday. Called Ford first thing monday - 7/22/13 and they were too busy to help. I had to take my car to a non dealership and they confirmed it was the throttle body. I had previously researched and wrote down the codes that would possibly come up. …”

“The car began to stall on the freeway, so I had to drive it off the freeway after it had turned off twice. The first time, it went off in the middle of the freeway as I luckily veered to the side and no one was hurt. I took it to be serviced. It turns out there was a faulty throttle control: the throttle actuator was stuck closed (p2111), and also would get stuck open (p2112). This must have happened while I was on the freeway. The auto service center ran the tests and tested my vehicle after replacing that throttle assembly and now my car runs back to normal. …”
