2010 Ford Fusion complaints

IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL CAR DASHBOARD SHOWS 'STOP SAFELY NOW' LOOSE ACCELERATION. TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND CAN DRIVE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TOLD VACUUM PUMP CREATING ISSUE. REPLACED AND CAR OKAY. WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY DURING ACCELERATION 'STOP SAFELY NOW' ENTIRE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING, ACCELERATION. GET CAR TOWED BACK TO SHOP AND TOLD ACID LEAK DEGRADED WIRE HARNESS. BUT ALSO TOLD THEY CAN'T ENSURE THE CAR WILL BE FIXED FROM REPAIRING. HOW DOES A BATTERY LEAK SO BAD WITHOUT ANY CRACKS. NO SHOP CAN CONFIRM THE ACID LEAK IS CAUSING THE BRAKE ISSUE. POSSIBLE ABS MODULE, ELECTRONIC CONTROL, O2 SENSOR REPLACEMENT TOO.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A ADVANCE TRAC SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW POPPED ON MY DASHBOARD. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011'S. WHY IS IT NOT ONE ON THE 2010'S KNOWING THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM MANY TIMES BEFORE. AND ALSO KNOWING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY COULD BE THE REASON THIS IS HAPPENING. MY THROTTLE BODY HAS ALSO WENT AND FORD REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE THE CONSUMERS NEED ANSWERS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM THIS PROBLEM.

RECALL: 19S54 IS ONLY ALLOWING FUSIONS MANUFACTURED UP TO 07/09. MY FUSION WAS MADE IN SEPT. AT THE MEXICO PLANT. VEHICLE EXHIBITS EXACT SYMPTOMS AND IS CURRENTLY EXHIBITING THEM. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. LAST YEAR HAD ABS EVENT AND PEDAL TRAVELED FURTHER. VALVE BECAME UNSTUCK BY ITSELF AND WAS FINE UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN ANOTHER ABS EVENT OCCURRED AND PEDAL IS TRAVELING FURTHER NOW. LATEST EVENT, WAS TRAVELING DOWN SLIGHT HILL ON A SNOWY ROAD AND NEEDED TO STOP. IT WAS A LONG ABS EVENT. AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP, WAITED A MINUTE OR SO AND BEGAN TRAVELING WITH TRAFFIC AGAIN. WENT TO SLOW DOWN/STOP AGAIN AND NOTICED PEDAL IS TRAVELING FURTHER. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL

LOST OF POWER STEERING,POWER STEERING STEERING ASSIST,ADVANCE TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND STAYING ON

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN. IT COMES UP WITH A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. ERROR MESSAGE AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE FORD RECALL. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER IS THE MAIN DRIVER OF THIS CAR AND NOT ABLE TO NOW DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO THE DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

THE STEERING RACK IS VERY LOOSE AND DANGEROUS- THERE IS A RECALL ON THE NEWER MODELS WITH THE SAME RACK - THIS IS WAY MORE DANGEROUS THAN AN AIR BAG THAT"MAY" DEPLOY - THIS IS DANGEROUS ALL THE TIME .

WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT OVERHEATED AND CUT OFF DUE TO A FAULTY HEAT PUMP WHICH RESULTED IN COOLANT LEAKING INTO IT AND WARPING MY ENGINE. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATOR THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAD EVEN JUST GOTTEN MY CAR "WINTER READY" WITH MY MECHANIC AND IN NOVEMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY. THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE TWO SENSORS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING ON SLICK ROADS AND OVER A PATCH OF ICE, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AGAIN AND THE CONTACT LOST ALL BRAKE POWER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR AWHILE. AFTERWARDS, THE BRAKE POWER RETURNED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AGAIN. THE CONTACT COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES. AFTERWARDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE CONTACT CALLED MOUNTAINEER FORD LINCOLN MITSUBISHI (615 N EISENHOWER DR, BECKLEY, WV 25801, (304) 461-0505) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO WAIT UNTIL THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND ADVISED HER TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHEEL SEIZED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALL AMERICAN FORD OF OLD BRIDGE (3698 U.S. 9, OLD BRIDGE, NJ 08857, (732) 242-0404); HOWEVER, AFTER FOUR DAYS, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED FROM THE DEALER TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1,400 FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

ONE MORNING WHEN MY WIFE WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR THE GYM HER CAR SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT.' NOW THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING AND IF YOU TRY TO DRIVE IT IT FLASHES 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC NOW. SADLY WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS SO THE CAR IS STUCK IN THE DRIVE WAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK MY 2010 FORD FUSION TO LAIRD NOLLER FORD REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $1,300.00. WHILE THE REPAIR WAS REVIEWING MY BRAKE ISSUE A WORKER MOVED MY VEHICLE KNOWING IT HAD NO BRAKES AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR BUMPER AND FENDER. I WOULD THINK A BRAKE PROBLEM OF THIS NATURE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DEATH OF MY CHILDREN AND I WOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. IN ADDITION, I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTORY FAULT AND NOT CAUSED BY ME.

STEERING GEAR WENT OUT (POWER STEERING) HAS GONE GONE OUT TWICE AND CURRENTLY REPLACED TWICE.

WENT TO CRANK IT ONE DAY AFTER CHANGING A TIRE ON THE FRONT AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHEN I GOT BACK IN IT AND CRANKED IT UP AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THAN USUAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO STOP AT A LOWER SPEED THAN THE AMOUNT OF FORCE THAT WAS NEEDED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HIP, ANKLE, KNEE, AND WRIST. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF A FUTURE RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKES. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT ON IT HAD A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHO ARE WORKING ON IT RIGHT NOW. TOTAL COST OF THE WORK IS ABOUT $1,800 AND LOOKING ONLINE IT'S OBVIOUS MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. WHEN I BROUGHT UP THE RECALL ON 2010 FORD FUSIONS (RECALL 15S18) I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY APPLIED TO CARS BUILT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010 TO ANOTHER DATE, WHEN MINE WAS BUILD IN JUNE - MEANING IT DIDN'T QUALIFY. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BY FORD AS MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

STARTING VEHICLE, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT DISPLAYED AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. TURNED OFF IGNITION. WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED. CONDITION DISAPPEARED. FEARFUL OF DRIVING VEHICLE AS I NOW READ THIS FAULT HAS OCCURRED TO OTHERS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT EXCELEREATED SPEEDS. I CAN DEFINITELY SEE THIS COULD BE A DEADLY SITUATION IF IT OCCURS AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO SEE OTHER YEARS OF FUSIONS RECALLED FOR THIS FAULT. IT IS CONCERNING THIS 2010 ISN'T ON A RECALL FOR THIS FAULT.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION STEERING KEEPS LOCKING UP WITH A STEERING ASSIST FAULT CODE. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WETHER AT SLOW SPEEDS OR HIGH SPEEDS. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S VERY SCARY TO THINK SHE WILL LOSE CONTROL OF A MOVING VEHICLE PUTTING HER IN DANGER AND OTHERS AROUND HER. I'VE NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BUT FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THE 2010 YEAR. THEY HAVE RECALLED OTHER YEARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

CAME OUT FROM SHOPPING ON 12-26-19 WENT TO LEAVE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND IT BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. TOOK TO MECHANIC TOLD ME ITS THE RACK PINION WHICH IS GOING TO COST OVER $2000 TO FIX . AND THEN I SEE ITS A KNOWN FORD PROBLEM. I DO SEE THAT THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 23 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON SAYING DEFAULT TRAC SERVICE SOON. THEN MY STEERING WENT OUT && IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO POWER STEERING. ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR I HAD TO HAVE TYSON ROD ENDS PUT ON INSIDE & OUT AFTER JUST HAVING THEM REPLACED IN APRIL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SAYING PASSENGER AIRBAG. A NOISE LIKE A RUBBING/SCRAPING NOISE EVERY TIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, IF I ENCOUNTER A SITUATION THAT WOULD ENGAGE ABS, INSTEAD OF ABS TURNING ON, THE BRAKE SUDDENLY TRAVELS TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. PRIVATE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. FORD DEALER SERVICE BLEED THE LINES AND COULD NOT GUARANTEE PROBLEM WAS ELIMINATED. NO CODES ARE PRODUCED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION AND THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. QUALITY MOTOR (2022 WEST MAIN STREET, INDEPENDENT, KS) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I KEEP GETTING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ERRORS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND CRASHED INTO A UTILITY POLE. AFTER THE CRASH, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID SE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFAX, VA. AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER OPERATES IN ELECTRIC MODE (IT ONLY OPERATES IN GAS MODE). MY AVERAGE MPG HAS DROPPED FROM 37-40 MPG TO 25-27 MPG. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER MANASSAS, VA IN NOV 2019 WHO INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO FIX IT (THEY INITIALLY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE BUT WAIVED THE FEE AND SENT ME HOME). THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS IN FORD VEHICLE FORUMS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CONSENSUS IS THAT FORD PROGRAMMED THE ELECTRONIC MODE TO STOP WORKING AFTER 9 YEARS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO DISCLOSURE THAT I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE A PROPERLY WORKING HYBRID AFTER 9 YEARS. THIS END-OF-LIFE DECISION WOULD HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE VEHICLE'S ECU AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED BY FORD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. HAD FORD DISCLOSED THIS, IT WOULD HAVE DIRECTLY IMPACTED MY DECISION TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. THE FIX APPEARS TO BE REPROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT THINK IT IS LESS THAN 9 YEARS OLD WHICH RETURNS THE HYBRID FUNCTIONS TO NORMAL. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL FORUMS, SOME FORD SERVICE CENTERS HAVE CONDUCT THIS FIX, BUT THE MAJORITY OF FORD SERVICE CENTERS ARE NOT WILLING/ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN FORD'S OASIS DATABASE WITH NO SOLUTION. TSB #SSM 48238 NHTSA ID #10167224 WAS ANNOUNCED IN OCT 2

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT DISPLAYS AND STEERING IS "LOCKED" I.E. CAN NOT BE TURNED. CYCLED THE IGNITION A NUMBER OF TIMES AND EVENTUALLY THE STEERING FUNCTIONED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE. DEALER WANTS $1600 FOR THIS REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND STOPPING, THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT BACKWARDS WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE RPMS INCREASED, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS SMOOTHLY LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ONLY PRINTED OUT THE RECALL INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR GOES OUT AND IT TAKES EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG AND AFRAID OF DAMAGING SOMETHING FURTHER HAVING TO GET THE CAR TOWED $ 125 AND AFTER A $1,800 REPAIR BILL AT THE DEALER THEY EXPLAINED ALMOST EVERY YEAR MODEL FUSION EXCEPT THE 2010 I OWN WASN'T RECALLED. NOT COUNTING THE COST OF A RENTAL AND TIME MISSED FROM WORK WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP. I'D CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A PRETTY DECENT DRIVER BUT NOW I'D LIKE YOU TO TRY AND IMAGINE IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR WIFE OR DAUGHTER DRIVING AND THAT HAPPEN. AS FAR AS THE EXACT DATE I GUESS BECAUSE I HAD TO PAY WITH A DEBIT CARD (CASH) MY FORD PASS APP DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A RECORD OF IT. BUT I CAN GO TO MY BANK AND GET THE DATE BECAUSE I HAD TO CALL THEM TO SPEND THAT MUCH ON A DEBIT CARD

I'VE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE ABS VALVE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. COULD THIS BE WHAT'S CAUSED MY PROBLEMS BEFORE I'VE HAD SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED MY 2010 FUSION GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY JUST DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A FORD F150. I WAS IN A TURNING LANE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WHEN WE DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND I WASN'T STOPPING, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHILE PUSHING ALL I COULD WITH A SIZE 9 STEEL TOE WORK BOOT TO KEEP FROM DAMAGING ANYONE'S VEHICLE. IT WASN'T ANY DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO BREAK A CHROME PIECE OFF MY GRILL. I'VE ALWAYS JUST ASSUMED IT WAS LACK OF MAINTENANCE OR DUE TO WET ROADS PLUS THE FACT THE CAR HAS OVER 225,000 MILES BUT THIS LAST INCIDENT THE ROADS WAS DRY AND BEING IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO TURN I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 10 MPH.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR..FIRST @ 23,000 MILES BACK BRAKES FROZE UP ON ME, HAD TO HAVE BOTH ROTORS & PADS REPLACED, SINCE THEN HAD PADS REPLACED AGAIN ON THE BACK. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS TWICE, JUST THIS MONTH WITH 46,000 MILES ON MY CAR, HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS & PADS BECAUSE THEY WERE MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE ..I FEEL THE BRAKES ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING ESPECIALLY IF I'M DRIVING 🚗

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK, SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE WARNING MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' APPEARED ON THE DASH AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2010 FUSIONS AND OTHER MODELS. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF TWICE THE MESSAGE RESET AND POWER STEERING CAME BACK HOWEVER I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF THIS ISSUE WILL POP UP WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED. LUCKILY I DIDN'T INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR OTHERS THIS TIME.

VEHICLE IS A 2010 FUSION HYBRID. VEHICLE HESITATES FOR 1-3 SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THERE IS A DELAY BECAUSE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE POWER. I ALSO NOTICE THIS DURING ROUTINE DRIVING, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN THEN. THE HYBRID POWER SYSTEM HAS SIMPLY STOPPED PROVIDING THE ADDITIONAL POWER REQUIRED BY THE POWERTRAIN TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS IS PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN PULLING OUT OF A SIDE STREET ONTO A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR HAS ENOUGH POWER TO GET ME INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BUT THEN HESITATES TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY FOR 2-3 SECONDS, PRESENTING A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER CARS. I AM LEARNING TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS DELAY BUT THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MODEL OF SIMILAR AGE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES ON FORUMS SUCH AS "FORDFUSIONHYBRIDFORUM.COM"

POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE IN A PARKING LOT OF A BUSY SHOPPING CENTER PULLING OUT OF MY SPACE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 199.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE THEY TELL ME THE POWER STEERING RACK HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME OVER $2,300.00!!!! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO HELP PEOPLE AND YET THE RECALLED THE 2011 THAT USES THE EXACT SAME POWER STEERING SYSTEM. NOW I AM FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR THE SAME MONTH I WAS TO PAY IT OFF BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE $2300.00 AT CHRISTMAS TIME TO GET A CAR FIXED THAT IS 9 YEARS OLD. THIS IS WRONG. FORD SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE!!!

CAR WAS IN DETACHED VERY COLD GARAGE, STARTED CAR. WHEN PUTTING IN REVERSE NOTICED A WARNING ON SCREEN STATING POWER STEERING FAILURE. AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF GARAGE I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FRIEND DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. WHEN I DID SO, THE POWER STEERING WARNING WAS GONE AND I COULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR 5 MILES TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WORRYING THE ENTIRE WAY THAT IT WOULD GO OFF AGAIN. I'VE SINCE BEEN INFORMED BY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

STARTED CAR AND WHILE BACKING POWER ASSIST FAULT WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON AND LOST POWER STEERING.RESTARTED CAR AN POWER STEERING WAS OK. NOW I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL LOCKUP AGAIN. THE 2010 FUSIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY POWERSTEERING IN MY CAR STOPPED WORKING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TO AVOID A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING A ROUTINE INSPECTION AT SUNNYVALE FORD (650 E EL CAMINO REAL, SUNNYVALE, CA 94087, (408) 215-9949), THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL LUG NUT WAS FRACTURED AND THE WHEEL COULD NOT BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 25152622. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT WORK NOR MOVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS: BECAUSE CAR HAS "BUCKET STYLE" FRONT SEATS. DRIVER CANNOT MOVE FROM FRONT PASSENGER TO/FROM DRIVER SIDE SEAT. TO ENTER AUTO, DRIVER ENTERS FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, REACHES OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE TO DRIVER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE, OPENS DRIVER DOOR FROM INSIDE, EXITS AUTO, ENTERS (THE NOW OPEN) DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOODS THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AND HIS PASSENGERS IN UNNECESSARY DANGER. THIS DRIVER IS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR UNLOCKED, SO IN EVENT OF A CRASH/ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER CANNOT BE REMOVED, FROM THE CRASHED DAMAGED CAR, THE BROKEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE CANNOT BE OPENED BY A FIRST RESPONDER/RESCUER. THE DRIVER IS IN UNNECESSARY DANGER. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, EXAMINED THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND REPORTS: "OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE IS STUCK, WILL NOT OPEN. PULLED DOOR PANEL OFF AND FOUND THAT LOCK AND ROD FROM HANDLE TO LATCH HAS RUSTED, AND ROTTED, CAUSING ROD TO BREAK IN HALF, ROD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PART HAS BEEN ORDERED AND SHOULD BE HERE BY 12-16-2019." IN THE PAST, THE DRIVER SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE (3) TIMES DUE TO FAULTY MECHANISMS. THERE IS CONCERN THAT THIS EXTRA USE OF THE INSIDE HANDLE MAY AGAIN BREAK THE INSIDE HANDLE, TRAPPING THE DRIVER INSIDE THE CAR, WITH NO WAY TO EXIT. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP: GRIECO FORD OF FORT LAUDERDALE 1333 N. FEDERAL HIGHWAY FORT LAUD

WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR & WAS GOING TO PULL OUT THE LIGHT FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG CAME ON, THEN I TURN MY WHEEL & THERE IS LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. I PULLED ON SIDE OF ROAD & HAD SOMEONE COME CHECK IT. THEY SAID SAME THING I DID. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE, BUT WHEN WE LOOKED THERE WAS NOTHING. THEN HE KEPT TURNING THE WHEEL & IT SOUNDED MORE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. MY HUSBAND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN I GOT HOME & THANK GOODNESS HE DID BECAUSE THE TIE ROD ENDS INSIDE & OUT WERE SO BAD THAT I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT OF CRASHED. STILL THE STEERING IS MAKING THAT LOUD GRINDING, SCREECHING SOUND. AIR BAG & TRAC LIGHTS COME ON OCCASIONALLY STILL ALSO. REALLY FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR HERE THE LAST FEW MONTHS. IVE HAD IT PARKED FOR THE LAST MONTH & BOUGHT JUST SOMETHING TO GET AROUND FOR NOW TIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED OR THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THESE. IVE SEEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEMS & I ALSO SEEN THEY RECALLED THE 2011 FOR SAME ISSUES. WHY NOT THE 2010?????

REVERSING MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE. LOST ALL BRAKES IN THE CAR. PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE I ALWAYS THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD VERY LOW BRAKES. I'D HAVE TO PRESS THE BREAK VERY LOW TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. WHEN I LOST THE BRAKES I'M THE CAR I INITIALLY THOUGHT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO BAD CALIPERS AND ROTORS. AFTER REPLACING ALL CALIPERS UNDER WARRANTY AND BLEEDING THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. TOWED THE CAR TO TORRINGTON FORD AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A MASTER CYLINDER FIRST WHICH MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEN A POSSIBLE HCU REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER DOESN'T CORRECT HE BRAKE ISSUE. *LN*JB

I STARTED MY CAR WHEN LEAVING WORK AND RECEIVED AN ERROR THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I FOLLOWED THE GUIDELINES IN THE BOOK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED. ON RESTART THE ERROR RETURNED. I DROVE CAR TO MECHANIC AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. AFTER TALKING WITH MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE AND STILL NO POWER STEERING. ANOTHER ERROR TURNED ON PRIOR TO LEAVING THE PARKING LOT WITH ADVANCETRAC FAILURE. LEFT CAR AT MECHANIC. ERROR SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER FORD AND LINCOLN CARS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS EPAS. LAST NIGHT MY WIFE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE GAS STATION AND PARKED IN FRONT OF A GAS PUMP. SOMEONE ASKED HER TO MOVE FORWARD AND WHEN SHE STARTED THE CAR, SHE RECEIVED THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" MESSAGE AND THE POWER STEERING REFUSED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. SHE STARTED THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES UNTIL THE SYSTEM RESET AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THIS CAR BELONGS TO AN 85 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND IF THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE SHE IS DRIVING THE CAR SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP AND THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND FELT SPONGY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ABS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

MY VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE ON 12/4/19. THE DASHBOORD INDICATED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". SHORTLY AFTER THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, THE DASHBOARD ALSO INDICATED "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". MY VEHICLE HAS 96,000 ODOMETER MILES.

SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. CAR BECAME HARD TO STEER. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AT AN INTERSECTION TURNING LEFT WHEN THE WARNING CAME ON. ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL LIGHT CAME ON.

I STARTED MY CAR IN THE APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE OCCURRED. MY CAR NOW HAS NO POWER STEERING AND IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I TRIED TURNING OFF MY CAR AND RESTARTING IT, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

BRAKES FAILED AT 127,000 MILES DUE TO FAULTY ABS PUMP. BRAKES PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WHILE DRIVING AND AT STOPS . ERROR CODES IN PICTURE

WHEN TURNING ON CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING REPAIR OF RECALLED AIRBAG THE WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE ELECTRONIC TRAC SYSTEM. STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. SERVICE WRITER CHECKED CODES AND NOTHING CAME UP. I WAS TOLD TO JUST TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THAT WOULD RESET IT. THAT WORKED. IT CONTINUED TO DO THAT ON AND OFF THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. THEN IT WOULD NOT RESET. WE TRIED TO DRIVE IT STOPPING AND STARTING IT TO TRY TO RESET IT. IT SUDDENLY BECAME REALLY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MY HUSBAND LOST CONTROL AND RAN OVER A CURB ON CITY STREET . LUCKILY NO ONE WAS ON THE CURB OR SIDEWALK .NO INJURIES. FORD SAYS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING IS OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER 18,000$. I HAVE 133,000 MILES ON CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION.
