Defect. Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured July 21, 2008, to March 4, 2011, and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan vehicles manufactured July 23, 2008, to December 10, 2010. The affected vehicles have fuel vapor canisters whose purge valves may not operate properly resulting in abnormal pressure changes in the fuel tank.

Risk. The pressure changes may cause the tank to crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle powertrain control modules and inspect the vehicle for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for this issue and perform a leak test on the Canister Purge Valve (CPV). The fuel tank will be inspected for cracks. The CPV and fuel tank will be replaced as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S34.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.

Risk. The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver and failed to return to normal operation. The advancetrac warning light was illuminated and the "Power Steering Fault" and "Advancetrac Failure" messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The traction control warning light was illuminated. The contact decelerated and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was turned off and restarted. The vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

I was driving my car down the road and all the sudden I couldn't steer my car It caused me to go off the road and hit a ditch

Lug studs keep breaking off while driving

The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) failed internally due to a stuck valve. The component remains on the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. While braking normally on a public road, the vehicle hit a minor road bump, causing the ABS to momentarily engage. Immediately following the bump, the brake pedal lost all hydraulic resistance and dropped severely to the floorboard. The vehicle experienced an immediate, drastic reduction in stopping power and an extended braking distance, nearly causing a collision. This sudden loss of braking capability puts the driver, passengers, and other motorists at immediate risk of a severe accident. There were absolutely no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms prior to hitting the road bump. The braking system functioned completely normally until the exact moment the ABS was triggered by the uneven road surface. The vehicle and its components have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. This identical safety-compromising failure mode (loss of pedal pressure immediately following ABS activation on a bump) is a thoroughly documented defect covered by Ford under Safety Recall 19S54 and Customer Satisfaction Program 21N11. However, because this specific vehicle has a production date falling just outside of Ford's arbitrary manufacturing window (which cut off on July 15, 2009), the vehicle is barred from receiving the safety remedy. This vehicle uses the exact same layout and suffers from

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Several warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with an ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer made two attempts to replace the part with an aftermarket part. The ABS module was shipped out for the repair; however, the dealer was informed that the part could not be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

The 2010 Ford fusion has 2584 complaints the second highest from 2010 to 2014; mine has been giving me intermittent issues for 3 years now and some times there is no error code and inspection cannot find anything wrong- but for 2010 year their has been none even though those years are the same generation car. Thats not fair stopping at 2011-the 2010 is the same car with the same issue-issue a recall; people are getting these expensive repairs and the issue comes back sometimes!!! Give us the same recall for the same car!!! 2010: (2584 complaints) 2011: (500) 2012: (3000) 2013: (2000) 2014: (1000) Your recall does not encompass the whole generations years; agian the same car as the 11's to14's

Steering wheel will not turn. Tried to reset but that did not work. Mechanic diagnosed it as a power steering rack failure. Steering rack needs to be replaced.

I was rear ended while parked at a stop light, the force of the impact drove me into the vehicle in front of me. During the accident my seatbelt pretensioner failed to work at the same time my sun visor unexpectedly dropped down swung towards me and my head struck the edge of the visor which made a gash in my forehead down in between my eyes, there was blood visibly running down my nose at the scene of the accident. I went to the ER afterwards to seek medical attention. 3 days after the accident i suffered a seizure, i have no prior seizures before this incident. Since the accident i’ve continued to have headaches, signs of short term memory loss, and having trouble finding words sometimes.

My car was rear ended in an accident somebody ran into the back of my car while i was stopped/parked at a stop light.. the impact was so hard that i crashed into another vehicle that was in front of me. I was wearing a seatbelt at the time but somehow still hit my head on the steering wheel and suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury because the seatbelt didn’t secure me and the airbags didn’t deploy.

We were made aware of Recall 11V574000 by our automotive shop, which applies to lugs/nuts/bolts on 2010 Ford Fusions, but only starting with manufacturer dates April 2009. This vehicle is dated February 2009, but we have replaced lugs/nuts/bolts at least 6 times in the past 5 years, clearly having the same problem. It has been an expensive, constantly reoccurring problem.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. While attempting to trade the vehicle, the contact was informed that the odometer had been rolled back, as indicated on the Carfax Report. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 86,785. It was discovered that the mileage was 125,121. The initial Carfax Report had no indication of odometer fraud. The North Carolina Department of Transportation was contacted, and a complaint was filed.

My 2010 Ford Fusion has been having issues with the ABS system/module showing the fault code, Service Advance Track System. After checking the recalls on this issue, I learned that Ford did have a recall for this make/model, recall # 19S54, BUT only from cars out of a certain plant during a certain time. I was told by the local Ford dealer as well as Ford Motor Co. that my vehicle was not included even though a recall was released on the same make, model, and year Fusion. I was told by the local Ford dealership that I was free to make a service appointment for the issue. I feel like this is a known issue that Ford is aware of and is using any means necessary to avoid taking the proper responsibility to service a vehicle under a recall for the exact same issue.

All the sudden, the power steering stopped working as I was backing out of my parking spot at the grocery store. Luckily, I stopped before anything bad happened. I literally couldn't turn the steering wheel at all. I put the car in park, turned it off and turned it back on a couple of times and it started working. This happened maybe 3 or 4 times over maybe 2-4 months or so. It finally happened one day when my husband was with me so he was able to see what I had been talking about. We made it back home and he got online and after doing some research, apparently a LOT of people have had this same problem. Apparently, it's something called the "power steering assist module" which is very expensive. I'm disabled and live on a very limited budget. {not much more than it costs just to buy the part to fix the car}

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact discovered fuel leaking underneath the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle several times, and the vehicle returned to normal functionality. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The contact researched and was made aware of an unknown recall; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 225,000.

The vehicle turns on the traction control and ABS lights, automatically makes a bell sound as a warning, and stops braking, regardless of your speed at that moment.

The brakes went almost completely out- having to push the pedal all the way to the floor. All ABS and braking lights illuminated in the dash. There is limited stopping power. The car has become undriveable, even after replacing the HCU and abs system. The dealership has been unable to reprogram the brakes. This exact issue falls under recall 19s54, but Ford claims my problem does not meet the requirements- despite my vehicle having been assembled at the same facility (Hermosilla) and within the same date range as the recalled vehicles. I have receipts and documents to show all attempts at fixing the issue.

The brakes completely failed pressed pedal all the way down! My son almost died! The brake pads are new!

The power steering has failed and the rack and pinion needs replacement. Altho there was a recall they will not honor me to fix Bec they said it was over mileage. This is a safety concern bec the vehicle cannot be driven safely without power steering. It can cause you not to be able to turn fast enough or move from on coming traffic. I almost hit another vehicle trying to turn onto road. Have had vehicle looked at and was told it's not safe to drive until fixed

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, there was a strong fuel odor entering the cabin of the vehicle that lingered for days. The contact's grandson then discovered that fuel was leaking from the rear driver side of the vehicle. The contact continued driving the vehicle, and the vehicle shut off while driving 50 MPH on the highway. The contact restarted the vehicle, and the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact coasted the vehicle while in neutral(N) to a safe area. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who discovered a crack in the fuel tank and a defective purge valve. Upon investigation, the contact's grandson discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V793000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), which was linked to the failure. The dealer was notified about the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle remained unrepaired with the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
