2010 Ford Fusion complaints

MY POWER STEERING WENT. OUT ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION WHILE I WAS DRIVEING THRU THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINA VIRGINA

THE FOLLOWING ALERT APPEARS WHEN I START MY CAR: "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". AT THIS POINT, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND TOO HARD TO TURN. AT FIRST, I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND IT WOULD BE FINE. BUT FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL.

THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER STEERING OR TRACTION CONTROL. IT IS DISPLAYING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRACTION CONTROL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS REPLACING THE RACK & PINION WHICH IS $1400. I'VE RESEARCHED A RECALL ON 2011 FUSION'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THE 2010 EXCLUDED? I DO NOT FEEL THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE. THE FAULT OCCURS ALL THE TIME, SITTING, DRIVING, ETC.

I'VE CONTACTED EMPIRE FORD OF ABINGDON VIRGINIA TWICE BY PHONE: ONCE ON AUGUST 27TH AND AGAIN ON AUGUST 28TH 2019, AND WENT IN PERSON TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE 25TH OF SEPTEMBER 2019 AND PHYSICAL HANDED THEM MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION TO GET THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. AS OF YET, JULY 2020, I HAVE HAD NO HELP GETTING MY RECALL FIX, AND YET, FORD CONTINUES TO FLOOD MY MAIL BOX WITH 'URGENT RECALL' MAIL. EITHER THIS IS NOT AN URGENT RECALL OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY; OR MAYBE THE DEALERSHIP IN GENERAL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY. PLEASE ADVISE, OR AT LEAST GET FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO STOP THE HARASSING RECALL MAIL.THANKS

DTCS U3000:04, U3000:49 AND U2011:49 APPEARED WHILE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, AND HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE, CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING UNTIL ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAY THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR AND NO SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS THE SYSTEM REBUILDS PRESSURE AND FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD FOR A WHILE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A FAULTY VALVE IN THE SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH NO RESOLUTION OFFERED. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A REFERENCE NUMBER OF 19S54 FOR THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING WHEEL FROZE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ADVANCE TRACK CAME ON. *TR

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AGAIN AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. THANKFULLY IT WENT OUT ON START UP AND NOT WHILE DRIVING OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN DANGER.

AS I DRIVE AND HAVE TO HIT MY BRAKES HARD TO AVOID CRASHING OR HITTING SOMEONE/OBJECT, MY BRAKES WILL THEN GO TO THE FLOOR BEFORE FULLY BRAKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, WHERE MY BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY AND RESULTS IN EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL.

THE PROBLEM MATCHED EXACTLY WITH RECALL NUMBER 19S54, WHICH WAS MADE FOR THE 2010 FORD FUSION. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY.

1.) C/S AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON - LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOUND PASSENGER AIRBAG IN B PILLAR IS CAUSE - NOT RELATED TO RECENTLY COMPLETED RECALL 19S34 ON PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATER NPA1908055946 PER DEALERSHIP. NOT SURE WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS IN THESE VEHICLES ARE PROBLEMATIC, BUT THE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARGES FOR REPLACEMENT OF THESE PROBLEMATIC PARTS. POSSIBLE NEW RECALL NEEDED. 2.) RECALL 15V34 RELATING TO LEAKING CANISTER PURGE VALVE - FORD AUTHORIZED AN UPDATE TO THE VEHICLE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE CALIBRATIONS TO HELP PREVENT PRESSURE CYCLES IN THE FUEL TANK - THESE CALIBRATIONS WERE PERFORMED HOWEVER THE PURGE VALVE HAS STILL FAILED. THE PART 9U5Z-9C915-H WAS ORIGINALLY RECOMMENDED 4 YEARS AGO WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME, ON SPECIAL ORDER. VEHICLE OWNER REQUESTED REPAIR / PART REPLACEMENT REPEATEDLY BUT WAS TOLD THE PART REMAINED UNAVAILABLE AND WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE RE-CALIBRATION UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED THE RECALL WITHOUT REPLACING THE PART - 6 MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAUSE IS THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND THE OWNER IS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT COSTS. RECALL SHOULD BE HONORED. *TR

MY FAMILY FINANCED OUR 2010 FUSION SEL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011, WAS CERTIFIED USED WITH 7,900 MILES, PURCHASED WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL. MY MOM AND MY SISTER DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS, THEY LOVED IT AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. THEY PASSED IT DOWN TO ME IN 2018 WHEN I GOT MY LICENSE, MY MOTHER TOLD ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CARS AND WHAT NOT TO DO, WE DON'T ABUSE OUR VEHICLES. THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT COMPLETELY WENT OUT AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A GREEN LIGHT IT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR, WITH THE RPM JUMPING UP AND DOWN, SHIFTED HORRIBLY. I THEN DROVE MY POSSESSED CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED THE SAME DAY IN MAY OF 2018 UNDER WARRANTY AND WORKED FINE EVER SINCE (SOMETIMES). THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. EXTREMELY LEAKY 17' RIMS CAUSING MULTIPLE MORNINGS WHERE I WOKE UP TO A FLAT TIRE. FORD SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME STOCK RIMS SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT IT (SAME PROBLEMS EVEN WITH NEW TIRES). TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT THAT'S BEEN FAULTY SINCE 2018 ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIX IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T. AND NOW I FEEL LIKE MY STEERING IS GOING OUT, I SOMETIMES LOSE POWER WHENEVER I TURN LEFT, THE ORANGE STABILITRAK/STABILITY LIGHTS UP ON MY DASH AND IS A LITTLE ROUGH, IN APRIL OF 2020 I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING LEFT, MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED, IF I WOULDN'T HAVE STRAIGHTENED OUT MY STEERING I WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY
