2010 Ford Fusion complaints

I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN MY CAR AND WHEN I STARTED IT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES AND IT STARTED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT WENT OFF. I WENT TO WORK AND IN THE MORNING I STARTED IT AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON A COUPLE MORE TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO OFF. I GOT IT HOME AND THERE IT SITS.

I RECEIVED AN ALERT FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND IMMEDIATELY HAD NO POWER STEERING. NOW I HAVE TO PURCHASE A RACK & PINION ASSEMBLY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I SEE WHERE YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED AN INVESTIGATION BUT FORD STATES THEY HAVE NOT COMPLETED THEIRS. HOW LONG DOES THIS TAKE? THIS PART AND LABOR TO HAVE THIS COMPLETED IS VERY EXPENSIVE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO A CONTINUING LANE BUT HER BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLICE OFFICER DUE TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT LINKED HER FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND WAS DEEMED TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT ALERTS APPEARED AND SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAUSE VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. FOLLOWED BY TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. I HAVE SERVICE THE VEHICLE AS REQUIRED AND HAVE RECORDS IT HAS BEEN SERVICED IN A TIMELY MANNER FOR ITS LIFE TIME.

STARTED CAR IN DRIVEWAY AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. DASH LIGHT DISPLAYED POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT. SHUT OFF CAR TWICE AND GOT IT BACK. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I'M A WOMAN. I WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE CAR. I WOULD CRASH. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, BUT OTHERS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. DOES IT TAKE DEATH TO HAVE A RECALL?

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD OR SLICK ROAD

WELL IT ALL BEGAN ONE DAY I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AFTER HAVING JUST BEEN WORKING FINE . I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY STRANGE, ALMOST LIKE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE REPLACED BUT NOT BLED AND THERE IS AIR IN THE SYSTEM. SO I TOOK IT DOWN TO MY LOCAL LES SCHWAB AND THEY REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND FRONT BRAKES , INCLUDING : NEW CALIPERS , NEW PADS , AND RESURFACED ROTORS , WITH NO SUCCESS. NOW THEY LOOKED INTO IT AND THERE IS AN ONGOING RECALL DESCRIBED AS - "ABS VALVE MAY REMAIN OPEN AFTER ABS EVENT " . MY VEHICLE A 2010 FORD FUSION IS LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW A RECALL NEEDED .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH THE STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,000.

I SUDDENLY GOT AN ALERT TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING AND IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING OUT. AFTER THE ALERT TURNED ON MY VEH STARTED SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AFTER STOPPING ON SLIPPERY OR BUMPY ROAD. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRES SEVERAL PUMPS TO STOP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS COVERED BY EXISTING RECALL, BUT NOT FOR THIS VIN

FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART AND IT'S GONE FOR AWHILE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATED THE ERROR SO THEY SENT ME HOME. YESTERDAY I GOT THE SAME ERROR BUT A RESTART WOULD NOT CLEAR THE MESSAGE. I DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WITH THIS MESSAGE AND A NEW MESSAGE THAT SAYS 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC'. THE FIX WILL BE ABOUT $2300. I KNEW THAT 2011 MODELS HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ERROR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE YEARS. IT'S UPSETTING TO SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO PEOPLE WHILE IN MOTION AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD WON'T COVER THIS SAFETY HAZARD ON THE 2010 LIKE THEY HAVE THE 2011.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY! LUCKILY I WASNT IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE RACK AND PINION IS STARTING TO GET HARD AND MAKING NOISE. MY STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT SUPPOSE TO BE. ENGINE IS STARTING TO SHAKE WHILE ON RED LIGHT. MY A/C DOESN'T WORK AND LIGHTS DO NOT WORK FROM THE INSIDE.

MY CAR SAYS CHECK CRUISE CONTROL AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR THIS IS A FORD DEFECT AS THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRICAL.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, THE ASSIST STEERING FAULT CAME ON. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

SAFETY RECALL 19S54 IDENTIFIES BRAKE PROBLEMS FOR 06-10 FORD FUSIONS. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE REPAIRS. HOW CAN I GET IT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ELIGIBILITY?

MY CAR IS LEAKING FUEL. I AM UNABLE TO PASS THE SMOG. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY ALREADY 'INSPECTED' MY FUEL TANK IN 2016 AND IT WAS FINE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT NOW. THIS WAS RECALLED. IT IS EFFECTING MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO REPAIR IT. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED AND MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT.

LOST ABILITY TO STEER CAR. ERROR MESSAGE: POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT FAILURE". UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AT ALL AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, RECEIVED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ALARM AND STEERING FAILED TO A "MANUAL" MODE. THE WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. RESEARCH HAS IDENTIFIED RECALLS ON THE 2011 AND 2012 EPS(ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), BUT NOT THE 2010 FUSION. MY FUSION ONLY HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT. THIS WILL BE A COSTLY OUT OF POCKET REPAIR FOR A SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN ON OTHER VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED TTAT HE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

ON THE WAY TO WORK, I SUDDENLY GOT 2 ALERTS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I WAS WORRIED, BUT STEERING FELT OK TO ME AT THE TIME, I DECIDED TO GO BACK HOME... I LEFT CAR IN MIDDLE OF STREET WITH HAZARDS, I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON TO SEE IF ERRORS WOULD CLEAR. AFTER IT STARTED THIS TIME, THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY OFF, NEW ALERTS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWERSTEERING NOW". CAR IS NOW STUCK, AND UNABLE TO BE SAFELY DRIVEN. IT TOOK ME 5 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR INTO OUR PARKING SPOT. STEERING WHEEL IS BARELY ABLE TO BE TURNED WITH EXTREME FORCE. I'M DISGUSTED TO SEE THAT MANY, MANY OTHER COMPLAINS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR 2010 FORD FUSION WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUES, SOME RESULTING IN SERIOUS CAR CRASHES AND OTHER INJURIES, AND NO RECALL. IT IS INSANE TO ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS CAR. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD CONTINUED ALONG TO WORK ON THE BELTWAY, AS MY LIFE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN IN DANGER IF THIS LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I'VE DRIVEN CARS WITH NO POWER STEERING BEFORE, BUT THIS STEERING WHEEL IS COMPLETELY LOCKED, I HAVE NO CLUE HOW I AM GOING TO GET IT TO THE DEALER WITHOUT TOWING COSTS.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SEL TWICE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKING POWER IN 2019 DURING MOMENTS WITH ABS WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN ACTIVATED ONCE WHILE BRAKING IN SNOW, ONCE WHILE HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE BRAKING. WHILE BRAKING HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY TRAVELED NEARLY THE ENTIRE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. AFTER 1 VISIT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND 1 VISIT TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER MOST RECENTLY IN DEC. 2019, THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE. I'VE SINCE READ ABOUT FORD RECALL 19S54 WHICH DESCRIBES MY SITUATION ALMOST EXACTLY. THIS IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER ON 1/8/2021 AND WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL AND I CAN PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET IF I CHOOSE TO DO SO. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS AFFECTED AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ESCALATE THIS TO FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT NOTICED WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE THAT THE WHEEL STUDS WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS NO VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL STUDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EL CAJON FORD (1595 E MAIN ST, EL CAJON, CA 92021) WHERE THEY FAILED TO DO A DIAGNOSIS AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THE RECALL WAS REMEDIED WITH THE ONE-TIME FREE REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

WHEN I STARTED CAR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT LIT UP AS WELL AS SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT, POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK, COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. WENT TO WORK AND WHEN I TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY, FAULT LIGHTS DIDN'T LIGHT AND STEERING WAS NORMAL. UNFORTUNATELY THE SAME PROBLEM CAME ON AND AGAIN TRIED LATER IN DAY BUT BOTH FAULT LIGHTS LIT UP, AND STEERING WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.GOT AN ESTIMATE FROM MECHANIC FOR A $2000 REPAIR, SAID THE STEERING ASSEMBLY/ELECTRIC MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, CAR HAS 106000 MILES.FUSIONS AND MERCURY MKZ'SOF SIMILAR YEARS BUT NOT 2010'S WERE RECALLED, DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING PRESENT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. I KNOW THERE WERE MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON NEW VEHICLES. UNABLE TO DRIVE AND UTILIZE POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE STEERING ASSIST AND ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAGUIRE FORD (504 S MEADOW ST, ITHACA, NY 14850, (607) 272-8000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ERROR POPPED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE WHEEL AT ALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MY YEAR (2010) DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A RECALL, BUT THE LATER YEARS DO FOR SOME REASON. THE 2010 SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE RECALL!!

RECEIVED A "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" ALONG WITH "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" ERROR DURING THE MIDDLE OF A LONG DRIVE. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH STRENGTH TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK HOME, BUT AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, THE STEERING COLUMN HAD LOCKED COMPLETELY. I HAVE NO WAY TO TURN THIS CAR. THE SAME ERRORS ARE SHOWING UP, ALONG WITH "TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT." I WAS LUCKY TO GET THIS THING BACK SEMI-SAFELY. IF THE STEERING HAD LOCKED AT 70 MPH, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

2010 FORD FUSION BUILT AT THE HERMOSILLO PLANT IN AUGUST 2009 IS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT ISSUES AS A CURRENT RECALL: 19V904000 THAT COVERS THE SAME VEHICLE AND PARTS FROM THE SAME PLANT BUT FOR A FEB. 22, 2006, TO JULY 15, 2009 TIMEFRAME. MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT IS CAUSING THE ABS SYSTEM TO FAIL AND NOT ENGAGE RESULTING IN NEEDING ABNORMAL EXTRA FORCE TO STOP VEHICLE IN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATIONS. THEREFORE GREATLY INCREASING RISK OF COLLISION AND REDUCING SAFETY.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, SUDDENLY ALL BRAKE RELATED WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE (PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR) AND I COASTED ALMOST TO THE OPPOSITE CURB BEFORE PRESSING HARD ENOUGH TO STOP. I TOWED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN ABS MODULE FAILURE, AND THAT THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

BILL DUBE FORD (40 DOVER POINT RD, DOVER, NH 03820) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ESC LIGHT IS SOLID AND ON SOME IGNITIONS SWITCH ON'S THE "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" ALSO APPEARS WITH RED (!) LIGHT ON RIGHT-HAND SIDE AND YELLOW ABS LIGHT SOLID. 82732 MI.

ON DECEMBER 1ST I WAS DRIVING MY FORD FUSION 2 THE ACTUAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET A LOOK AT THEIR FIELD SERVICE ACTION THAT THEY HAD POSTED ON MY FORD APP. WHILE ON MY WAY I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON COLUMBIA DRIVE IN PORTLAND OREGON AND I HAD THOUGHT MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE INITIALLY BUT ACTUALLY WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR HAD ACCELERATED AND TO THE GENTLEMAN IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT I TRIED TO CONTACT FORD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NORMALLY GO TO TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE FRONT-END OF MY FORD FUSION THAT WAS DEMOLISHED AND ALSO NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF AS I HAD JUST GOT MY CAR OUT OF THE SHOP AT FORD FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS MY FIANCE WAS WITH ME SO THERE WAS DEFINITELY CAUSE FOR CONCERN FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT BUT LIKE I SAID MY CAR WAS DEMOLISHED ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE FRONT END I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY MY CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN SO LOOKING INTO IT THE EXPLANATION THAT I CAME UP WITH WAS DEFINITELY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MOTOR AND ALL I WANT IS MY CAR RETURNED BACK TO ITS PRIOR CONDITION I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT I DID CONTACT FORD AND WAS REFERRED TO A BIGGER FORD COMPANY IF SOMEONE COULD HELP THAT WOULD BE AMAZING I'D APPRECIATE IT... ALSO NO WARNINGS OR SENSORS WENT OFF IN MY VEHICLE I DO HAVE THE SEL PACKAGE AND ONCE AGAIN NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND FOR THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE I WAS VERY SURPRISED

AFTER THE ABS ACTIVATES (E.G., ON AN ICY ROAD), THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON SUBSEQUENT BRAKE APPLICATIONS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FOR VALVES NOT CLOSING FOR 2010 FUSIONS, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

2010 FORD FUSION. NO ISSUE WITH BRAKES UNTIL 12/18/20. PARKING IN SNOW SLUSH ABS SYSTEM BRIEFLY ENGAGED, SINCE EXACTLY THAT EVENT THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO FLOOR UNDER FOOT PRESSURE, REQUIRED PUMPING TO GET FULL STOP. NO ISSUE WITH MASTER CYLINDER, FLUID LEVEL, OR BRAKE CYLINDERS, PEDAL FIRM WITH ENGINE OFF, NO LEAKING IN ANY CONDITION, PEDAL RETURNS TO FULL UP POSITION AFTER RELEASE OF FOOT PRESSURE. SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL TO THOSE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 19V904000. HAS CAUSED 'HEART ATTACK' BRAKE PUMPING TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING CARS IN LOCAL TRAFFIC. SYMPTOMS PRESENT AT ANY SPEED.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT A COUPLE OF ODD TIMES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS IT ENDED UP COMING BACK ON AND OFF BUT IS NOW COMPLETELY OFF.... FORTUNATELY FOR ME IT WAS WHILE I WAS STATIONARY EACH OCCURENCE..... DISPLAYED ON MY DASH IS (POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT) ALONG WITH (SERVICE ADVANCETRACK) AS IVE BEEN READING THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE TO NO RESOLUTION FROM FORD AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING TO ME....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED TO OPEN AND THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH DETACHED FROM THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED COLONIAL FORD (126 FEDERAL RD #126, DANBURY, CT 06811, (203) 748-3503) AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ERROR, WOULD INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. A RESTART OF MY CAR WOULD CLEAR IT. THE OTHER NIGHT, AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN IT WAS PARKED, IT APPEARED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT DIDN'T CLEAR WITH SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTING IT, THEN ANOTHER MESSAGE APPEARED ABOUT SERVICING THE ADVANCED TRAC APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME IN MANUAL MODE, AND THERE IT SITS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ERROR, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE DISPLAYED WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. HALEY FORD RICHMOND LOCATED AT 10724 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, RICHMOND VA 23237 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

THE POWER STEERING LOCKED ON CAR WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE CAR THE HIT CURB.

MY FUSION WAS ON RECALL FOR THE LUG NUTS. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT LUG NUTS. THE NEW LUG NUTS ARE NOT THE SAME SIZE. I FOUND THAT OUT BY ROTATING MY TIRES. THE LUG RANCH FROM MY CAR DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY. THE COVERING OVER THE LUG NUTS THAT SUPPORTS THE HUB CAPS STRIPPED WHEN TRYING TO LOOSEN THE BOLTS. A STANDARD FOUR WAY LUG WRENCH WOULD NOT FIT ALSO. I WAS FORTUNATE MY NEIGHBOR WAS HOME WHO HAD A AIR GUN. HE HAD TO USE A DIFFERENT SIZE SOCKET TO EVEN GET THEM LOOSE. THE LUG NUT COVERS ON THE LUG NUTS ARE A DIFFERENT SIZE THEN THE OLD RECALL ONES. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD ONES WITH THE LUG RANCH THAT WAS PROVIDED WITH MY CAR. IF I HAVE A FLAT WHILE DRIVING THEIRS NO WAY OF CHANGING THE FLAT UNLESS YOU HAVE AN AIR GUN AND A CERTAIN SIZE SOCKET. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO DRIVES A FORD FUSION THAT HAD A TIRE THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THEY RAN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NEW LUG NUTS. THEY HAD TO CALL A TIRE STORE TO COME OUT TO THEIR HOME WITH AN AIR WRENCH AND A CERTAIN SIZE SOCKET TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. WHICH I DOUBT THEY WILL. THEY HAVEN'T REPLACE THE HCU YET ON MY CAR THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL ON A YEAR AGO. WHICH ENDING UP CAUSING ME TO WRECK THE CAR WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED AND CAUSING DAMAGES TO MY CAR.

RUNNING MOVING FORWARD BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR. REPLACED ALL BRAKE PADS, BRAKE CALIPERS, FRONT ROTORS AND MASTER CYLINDER. ENGINE OFF IT HAS PERFECT BRAKE PEDAL. RUNNING IT GOES TO FLOOR . IT IS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT. IT DOES NOT FALL INTO RECALL MANUFACTURING DATE IT SHOULD.IT STARTED IN MORNING AFTER PULLING OUT ON STREET COMING TO FIRST STOP SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING AND AS TURNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT.I HAD TAKEN IT TO DEALER MONTHS EARLIER WHEN LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANYTHING AT THAT TIME.

NOVEMBER 2020 STARTED CAR IN PARKING LOT AND DROVE 30 FEET. DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, HIT BRAKE WHICH DID NOT WORK SINKING ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND ROLLED TO STOP AFTER 30 FEET. TURNED ENGINE OFF. RESTARTED AND AGAIN AFTER DRIVING 30 FEET DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, HIT BRAKE AND AGAIN DID NOT WORK SINKING TO FLOOR. ROLLED TO STOP AFTER ABOUT 30 FEET. TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC INVESTIGATED AND NEEDED TO REPLACE ABS CONTROL MODULE. MECHANIC CHECKED FOR ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS AND NONE NOTED BUT HE FELT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

WHILE BRAKING AT ANY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR AND HAS TO BE PUMPED. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS FOR ME. OTHER 2010 FUSIONS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHY NOT MINE?

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. THEN IT LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOW AND I HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE BEFORE I WRECKED BECAUSE IT TOOK ALL I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL ALSO WHLE DRIVING STRAIGHT I HAD TO JERK THE WHEEL BACK TO THE LEFT BECAUSE IT STARTED VEERING TO THE RIGHT

WHILE DRIVING, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON" NOTICE CAME ON THE DASH. MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WE WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE DASH THEN SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. HE WAS ABLE TO GET US HOME BY GOING SLOWLY AND AVOIDING ROADS WITH SHARP TURNS. AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT ENGAGE, THE ENGINE BEGAN ACTING STRANGE TOO. IT WOULD REV UP HIGH UNLESS YOUR FOOT WAS ACTIVELY PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL OR IF YOU WERE GOING SLOW ENOUGH (20 MPH) FOR THE EV MODE TO OVERRIDE THE GAS ENGINE. IF I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS I AM NOT PHYSICALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE CAR IS NOW SITTING OUTSIDE MY HOME, WAITING TO BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP.

WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AS MY WIFE AND I WERE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF OUR HOTEL. IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE FOR 3 HOURS PRIOR TO THAT. LUCKILY SHE WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED AND IT WAS NOT IN A TURN OR AT HIGH SPEEDS LIKE IT SOUNDS OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. SIMILAR REPORTS SHOW THIS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WAS RECALLED IN 2011+ MODELS BUT 2010 WAS EXCLUDED, HOWEVER IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED, CLOSED, THEN RE-OPENED. FUSES ARE ALL GOOD. OTHER SYSTEMS ARE ALL GOOD, JUST RANDOMLY POPS UP WITH "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND POWER STEERING THEN SHUTS OFF. **VEHICLE CAN STILL BE DRIVEN BUT THERE IS NOT POWER STEERING SO IT'S JUST A LITTLE MORE MUSCLE NEEDED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT - VEHICLE STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP ON A TURN, I HIT A POTHOLE THAT CAUSED MY ABS SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION WHICH RESULTED IN A GREAT REDUCTION IN BREAK EFFICIENTLY AND/OR LOSS OF BREAKING COMPLETELY. IN RESEARCHING PROBABLE CAUSES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, THE SITUATION DESCRIBED IS JUST AS DESCRIBED IN FORD RECALL - 19S54. MY CURRENT MODEL FUSION (A 2010 SE) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THE SITUATION IS RECURRING AND GETTING WORSE.
