2010 Ford Fusion complaints

CAR BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AT LESS THAN 5 MPH; POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE NOTED.

WHILE DRIVING MY FUSION ON ROADWAY OR HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I CAN'T TURN IT. AFTER HAPPENING TWICE I HAD THE STEERING RACK AND PINION REPLACED WHICH IS WHAT THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS BUT IT HAS HAPPEN AGAIN. IT CAUSED ME 1200.00 TO GET THIS DONE AND PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPEN. VERY UPSET AND SCARE TO DRIVE MY FUSION.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE ! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ! THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES AND CREATES A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION , YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN !

DRIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF FUEL IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VERACOM FORD (790 N SAN MATEO DR, SAN MATEO, CA 94401) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED, BUT NOT REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 12938726-V9Y3Q4. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,331.

DRIVING AND MY WHEEL WOULD NOT STEER,MANAGE TO GET OFF ROAD,VERY SCARY INCIDENT,NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON 2010 FORD FUSION.THE CAR WAS IN MOTION,,NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

WHILE DRIVING AT 30-40MPH, I WAS DECELERATING AND CROSSING OVER A MERGING LANE APPROACHING A RIGHT TURN NEAR MY HOME. BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE MY MANEUVER, A LOUD AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDED AND IMMEDIATELY ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND MY WHEELS LOCKED AND TURNED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. I WAS SENT INTO A 180 DEGREE SPIN DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND LOCKING OF MY WHEELS. MY VEHICLE WAS THROWN INTO NOW ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE MERGING LANE. IN A PANIC, I TRIED TO STEER MY VEHICLE AND MANEUVER OUT OF THE ROAD, BUT EVEN WITH THE FULL FORCE OF MY UPPER BODY, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY TURN THE WHEEL. MY PASSENGER, FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT, ATTEMPTED TO ASSIST MY EFFORTS TO STEER AND IT TOOK THE BOTH OF US TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL TO AN ANGLE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD. I'VE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITHOUT POWER STEERING BEFORE, AND I CAN CLEARLY ATTEST THAT IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A LOSS OF POWER STEERING THAT WAS HAMPERING MY ABILITY TO STEER. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. I'M POSITIVE THAT MY WHEELS WERE ESSENTIALLY LOCKED BECAUSE I WAS OVERCOMING NOT ONLY A POWER-STEERING LOSS, BUT ALSO THE EXTREME RESISTANCE OF THE FAILED POWER STEERING MOTOR. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT ABSOLUTELY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL SOMEBODY. I SEE THAT FORD RECALLED THE 2011 FUSION AND SIMILAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS POWER STEERING UNIT BECAUSE OF THE SAME FAILURE. I ALSO SEE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER TWO MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER (GERMAIN FORD OF COLUMBUS, 7250 SAWMILL RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43235) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HIM THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, FORD MOST RECENTLY RECALLED THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR, HOWEVER JUST LIKE MY PREVIOUS RECALL THERE IS NO PARTS AVAILABLE, THEY SAY THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT I DON'T WANT TO RISK MY SAFETY AS WELL AS THE OTHERS IN MY CAR IF IT IS NOT. PREVIOUSLY MY CAR WAS STUCK AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 8 MONTHS DUE TO A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL, AND THEY REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE CAR BUT DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE PAINT, AND INTERIOR OF THE CAR WHEN THEY HAD IT. I HAVE PICTURES FROM THOSE DAMAGES THAT NEVER GOT REPAIR BY FORD OR THE DEALER ALL THEY AGREED TO DO WAS REPLACE THE BATTERY IN THE CAR.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2009. WITH IN A FEW MONTHS I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE IT WOULD SLAM IN THE GEAR, NOT ALL THE TIME BUT MULTIPLE TIMES EACH MONTH. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AGAIN RANDOMLY. DEALER CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WILL PUT THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED BELOW AS I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED

POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE FAILURE, FAILED TO CONTROL THE CAR

AFTER THE ABS ENGAGES DUE TO BRAKING ON A SLIPPERY OR BUMPY SURFACE THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL LOSE POWER TO BRAKE THE CAR EFFECTIVELY. THE PEDAL WILL HAVE TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL ONLY SLIGHTLY SLOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY 2 OR 3 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND "PUMPING" THE BRAKES. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A FAULTY HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. A PRIOR EVENT HAPPENED WITH THE SAME RESULT WHEN JUST BEGINNING TO DRIVE ON A FLAT, SMOOTH SURFACE.

I'M REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HEARD THAT THE 2011 AND 2012 FUSIONS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2010.

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY FUSION IS BEING RECALLED FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO FORD, AND TO THE COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE, THE REQUISITE REPLACEMENT PARTS MAY TAKE "FOREVER" TO BECOME AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, WE DRIVE A CAR IN WHICH A MINOR ACCIDENT COULD BE FATAL BECAUSE OF THE INFLATOR. WHY ARE WE NOT ENTITLED TO USE A LOANER CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE? THE COST OF SUCH A PROGRAM COULD AND SHOULD BE PASSED ON TO TAKATA. IT IS ABSURD TO HAVE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND IN THESE TIME BOMBS.

THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR FORD FUSION ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNITS FAILING FOR NO REASON. NHSTA IS ALREADY AWARE OF THIS AND HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR FORD FUSION YEARS 2011-2012 AND POSSIBLY NEWER. MY CAR IS A 2010 FORD FUSION BUILT IN JUNE 2010 WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER FUSIONS WITH POWER STEERING RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT 2010 MID-YEAR BUILT MODELS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE RECALL. I TURNED ON MY CAR THE OTHER DAY AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE TRIP COMPUTER LISTED THE FOLLOWING ERRORS: "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCED TRAC". NHTSA ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE THIS REASON IN THE 20111 MODEL. MY FUSION IS MID YEAR BUILT (JUNE 2010) AND IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. PLEASE ADVISE.

THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAVE NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. I WANT THE AIRBAGS REPLACE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP ME GET THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. THANKS.

TAKATA RECALL ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE IF A RECALL IS NOT REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER THEN FILLING OUT THIS FORM IS THE NEXT STEP. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE TAKATA RECALL IS AFFECTING A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES, I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE CONTINUE TO BE FATALITIES REGARDING THIS RECALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 20 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED AND IT STILL STATES THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE TO TELL ME TO PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER FROM A KNOWN POSSIBLY FATAL RECALL THAT IS NOW NEARLY 2 YEARS OLD. PLEASE ADVISE HOW AND WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 3 OCCUPANTS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED. ONCE ON THE CITY STREET A LIGHT ON THE DASH FLASHED THEN ALL POWER STEERING WAS GONE.

POWER STEERING FAULT, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. TURN CAR ON, STEER FAILURE. TURN OFF CAR, RESTART & IT RESETS. LAST NIGHT TURNED CAR ON "POWER STEERING FAILURE", WOULD NOT RESET, THEN GOT A STABILITY FAILURE. NO POWER STEERING. WILL NOT RESET

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE APPROPRIATELY AND THEN WOULD NOT BE IN GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED SENSORS ETC. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT A RECALL HAD IN FACT BEEN INSTITUTED FOR 2011 AND NEWER MODELS. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN VEHICLES FROM 2010 AS WELL. THERE IS NO REASON OWNERS OF 2010 MODELS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE FAILURE WHEN NEW MODEL OWNERS DO NOT. THE PART ITSELF (FOR AFTERMARKET) COSTS $1000.

WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING

I CURRENTLY HAVE OWNED MY 2010 FORD FUSION FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I LOVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE ONE PROBLEM. TODAY FEBRUARY 3RD, 2018 MY DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT HAS STOPPED MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I HAD BROUGHT MY SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK WHILE CLEANING MY CAR AND NOW THAT I AM GOING TO DRIVE I WENT TO BRING MY SEAT FORWARD AGAIN AND IT WILL NO LONGER MOVE. I CAN BARELY TOUCH THE PEDAL AND IT IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BUT NO FORD DEALER SHIPS WOULD TAKE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I HAD TO GO TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE MOTOR WAS BAD AND IN ORDER TO FIX IT AT A REASONABLE PRICE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A JUNK YARD AND FIND AN OTHER 2010 FORD FUSION WITH THE SAME EXACT SEAT TO TAKE THE MOTOR OUT OF THAT SEAT AND PUT IT IN MY CAR. I THOUGHT THIS WAS CRAZY IM GOING TO PAY 500$ FOR THEM TO PUT AN OLD PART IN MY CAR. SO I THEN CALLED WESTBOROUGH FORD IN MASSACHUSETTS TO ASK THEM IF THEY CAN GET ME THE MOTOR AND WHAT THE COST WAS. THEY THEN CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT YOU GUYS NO LONGER SELL THE MOTORS SEPERATLY AND IF I WANTED THE MOTOR I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A WHOLE NEW FREAKING TRACK AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY FOR MY CAR AND WOULD NOT JUST GET ME THAT ONE MOTOR THAT IS BAD. I AM BEYOND FRUSTERATED BECAUSE THE MOTOR SHOULD NOT BE JUST CRAPPING THE BED IF ONCE ITS SET, ITS SET. ITS NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS ADJUSTED EVERY SINGLE DAY. I AM VERY DISAPOINTED IN FORD AND WOULD LIKE THE PR
