High Rev Going Down Hill With Cruise Control On

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

2010 Ford Fusion Owner Comments

problem #1

Jun 202010

Fusion SE 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 13,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

When going down a steep incline with the cruise control on (65 mph), the tachometer needles shoots up to around 4,000 RPMs and the engine just screams! The only way to stop it is to turn off the cruise. Ford says it is "characteristic of the car." I'm no mechanic, but I believe it can't be good when the engine is screaming. Any others out there with same issue?
