2010 Ford Fusion Sport: Each of the 2010 Ford Fusion's gas-powered engines deliver excellent fuel economy along with impressive driving dynamics and performance. All are paired with a new fuel-efficient six-speed transmission, and incorporate a number of other advanced and industry-first technologies aimed at building on Fusion's quality reputation as a reliable, fun-to-drive sedan.

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has upgraded their investigation into consumer complaints that the 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles are affected by wheel stud fractures that cause the wheels to come off.

The initial investigation of 317,315 Ford mid-sized sedans has been upgraded to an engineering analysis after more than 29 complaints and 128 warranty related claims were filed because of these fractures. “We’ll fully cooperate with the government as they review this matter,” Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said. “We are not aware at this point of any allegations of injuries related to this matter.” The current engineering analysis investigation does not always lead to recalls, but that situation has not yet been ruled out.
