TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN FROM JULY 2016 CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET REPLACED ITS BEEN TWO YEARS WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROGRESSING GRINDING NOISE AND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION.

TAKATA RECALL: I FIRST READ THAT TAKATA AIRBAGS IN MY FORD FUSION MAY BE DEFECTIVE IN EARLY 2016 AND FINALLY RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR CO. IN JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY VEHICLE DID HAVE AN AIRBAG DEFECT AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED FORD DEALER REPEATEDLY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE EACH TIME I CALLED. ONE EMPLOYEE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP LAUGHED WHEN I ASKED FOR THE DATE THEY EXPECTED TO RECEIVE REPAIR PARTS AND SAID THAT IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME. WELL IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME (TODAY IS 1/29/2017). I FILED AN EARLIER COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ON 5/4/17. I READ THAT FORD WAS TO RECEIVE $850 MILLION FROM TAKATA. IT SEEMS THAT FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO USE THAT MONEY TO FIX AIRBAGS THEMSELVES. I RECENTLY RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FROM FORD STATING THAT THEY EXPECT "REMEDY PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES IN THE SPRING OF 2018". WHEN WILL I KNOW IF MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF THOSE "CERTAIN VEHICLES"? THIS MOST RECENT NOTICE ALSO STATES "DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT". THIS IS ABSURD-THE FUSION IS A SMALL VEHICLE AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT IF THE AIRBAG RUPTURES CAUSING METAL FRAGMENTS TO STRIKE VEHICLE "OCCUPANTS" THAT EVERYONE IN THE CAR WOULD BE AT RISK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT FORD HAS BEEN GIVEN GENEROUS LEEWAY TO FIX. THE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO WORKING ON BEHALF OF CITIZENS--NOT FORD MOTOR CO., I.E. BIG BUSINESS. PLEASE MAKE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION T

2 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS A WARNING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". COST IS VERY EXPENSIVE, 2010 FORD FUSIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS JUST BEING STARTED WHEN THIS WARNING CAME ON.
TAKATA RECALL. FORD IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I NEED AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE.

I WAS TERRIFIED WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMIN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I HAD TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD TO REFRAIN FROM GOING INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFICS LANE THAT I STRAINED MY SHOULDER, CAUSING PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE REPAIR OF MY ISSUE WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THIS ISSUE IS NOT CAUSED FROM USER ERROR IT IS FROM POOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FROM FORD. THIS PRODUCT MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS FAULTY PRODUCT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE BURDENED WITH A BILL OF THIS MAGNITUDE. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF FORD PRODUCED A PRODUCT THAT WAS SAFER.
TAKATA RECALL BOUGHT CAR USED 8/17 NOT KNOWING THE FULL EXTENT OF RECALL. THAT MY VEHICLE IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. ACCORDING TO NHTSA FORD MAILED OUT LETTERS 7/16 SAYING THERE WAS NO PARTS AVAILABLE YET TO FIX PROBLEM. IT IS NOW 2018 AND ACCORDING TO ONE FORD DEALER PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING AND THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE.
TAKATA RECALL NO DEALER NEARBY HAS PARTS FOR RECALL.

FORD RECALL 15S34 APPLIES TO FORD FUSIONS WITH 2.5 OR 3.0L ENGINES WITH MODEL YEAR 2010-2011, ASSEMBLY PLANT OF HERMOSILLO, AND BUILD DATES BETWEEN JULY 21, 2008 THROUGH MARCH 4, 2011. MY VEHICLE MEETS ALL OF THOSE CRITERIA, HOWEVER, ITS VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE MY AUTO SHOP HAS DETERMINED A FAILURE IN THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE OF THE EVAP SYSTEM AS IS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL NOTICE. MY CAR MEETS ALL OF THE CRITERIA AND HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THIS RECALL. WHY IS IT NOT LISTED ON THE VIN LIST? THIS IS PREVENTING MY CAR FROM BEING COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME VEHICLE, MODEL YEAR, BUILD DATES, AND ASSEMBLY, AND HAS THE LISTED ISSUE. CAN THIS BE CORRECTED?

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY CAR GAVE ME AN ALARM SAYING I NEEDED TO HAVE MY POWER STEERING SERVICED NOW. I LOST POWER STEERING. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER WHO RAN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY SAID IT TOOK THEM AWHILE TO GET ANYTHING TO REGISTER AND DID SAY IT WAS A STEERING RACK BUT THEN IT DISAPPEARED AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. YESTERDAY WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AGAIN, SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED, ALARMS WENT OFF AND MY POWER STEERING IS OUT AGAIN. I SEE ISSUES RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING AND ARTICLES SAY THE 2010 FORD FUSION IS ONE OF THE, YET IT WASN'T RECALLED! I'LL BE CALLING THE FORD DEALER AGAIN,BUT I WON'T PAY WHAT THEY TELL ME TO FIX REPLACE THIS.
TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2010 FUSION WITH A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR IT SO I DO NOT HAVE FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE SINCE I CAN NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT SEEMS THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIND ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS OR PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. IS THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SAFE? CAN A MALFUNCTIONING PASSENGER AIRBAG INJURE THE DRIVER OR REAR SEAT PASSENGERS?

TAKATA RECALL I CANNOT USE MY CAR FOR MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG AND PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER!
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL AWAY FROM A GAS PUMP AT A FILLING STATION, MY POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY QUIT WORKING AND A WARNING CAME UP ON MY SCREEN SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION. IT PLACED ME IN A VERY DIFFICULT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR AT THE STATION. THIS LACK OF POWER STEERING INCREASED THE CHANCE OF A VEHICLE CRASH OF SOME KIND. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM A DEALER IN TOPEKA, KS. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I AM A RECENTLY WIDOWED 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN WEIGHING LESS THAN 100 LBS AND I CANNOT TURN A VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED REPLACING THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY COSTING ME $1,266.33. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS RECALLED FOR 2011 AND 2012 FORD FUSIONS, BUT NO RECALL FOR 2010. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY A RECALL WAS NOT ALSO DONE FOR 2010 FUSIONS SINCE THE ISSUES WERE IDENTICAL REGARDING SHUT DOWN OF POWER STEERING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND THE INVOICE WITH THIS COMPLAINT, BUT CAN SEND IT SEPARATELY IF POSSIBLE
TAKATA RECALL. FORD MOTOR RECALLED THE CAR IN JULY, 2016 AND HAS FAILED AND REFUSED TO FIX THE AIR BAG OR REPLACE THE CAR. I CANNOT ALLOW ANY PERSON TO BE IN THE CAR EXCEPT FOR ME, AS IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. FORD MOTOR HAS RECENTLY ISSUED A FOLLOW UP LETTER WITH FURTHER DELAYS TO FIXING MY CAR. FORD HAS DELIBERATELY DELAYED THE SOLUTION TO THE AIRBAG, IN ORDER TO FORCE PEOPLE LIKE ME TO SELL THE CAR OR USE IT AS A TRADE IN. IN ADDITION, WHILE OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG, FORD HAS NOT, AND I AM INFORMED THAT FORD MAY SEEK BE BE RELEASED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG BANKRUPTCY.

TAKATA RECALL. I'VE SPOKEN WITH TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS, GREENWAY FORD IN ORLANDO ON 12/23 AND NORRIS FORD IN BALTIMORE ON 1/11, BOTH OF WHOM STATED THAT THERE AREN'T ANY AIRBAGS IN INVENTORY. OTHER SITES SEEM TO SUGGEST THE INVENTORY PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVED BY NOW. I RECEIVED MY NOTICE OF A RECALL MONTHS AGO. MY PARENTS DRIVE A NISSAN VERSA, AND THEIR NISSAN DEALERSHIP JUST GAVE THEM A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PART COMES IN.
STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I LOST STEERING ASSIST WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, VERY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN 45 MPH SPEEDS STEERING ASSIST DID NOT RETURN. HAD TROUBLE CODE U3000 PULLED FROM COMPUTER, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING - THE BATTERY INDICATOR WILL COME ON AND I WILL SUBSEQUENTLY LOSE POWER STEERING. IF I POWER OFF THE VEHICLE, THE INDICATOR GOES AWAY AND POWER STEERING RETURNS THE NEXT TIME I TURN IT ON. THE ISSUE WILL RESURFACE, AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED A RECALL IN THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS, HOWEVER, MY MODEL IS THE 2010.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND POWER STEERING STOPPED. LIGHT CAME ON SERVICE POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR HER AND FOR EVERY ONE AROUND HER. 55000 MILES AND HAD 6 RECALLS. THIS TO SHOULD BE BECAUSE IF SHE HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH I COULD HAVE LOST HER YESTERDAY SO SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
ADVANCE TRACK AND SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNINGS FLASHED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, PARKED CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. HAD TO REPLACE EPAS SYSTEM
THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILS AS THE POWER STEERING MODULE FAILS TO COMMUNICATE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE BUT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN AS FORTUNATE. THEY'VE RECALLED MODEL YEARS 2011-2014 BUT THE DEFECT IS PRESENT IN THE 2010 MODELS AS WELL YET THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - FORD SAYS PARTS TO COMPLY WITH RECALL 16S26 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2018 AT THE EARLIEST. THIS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISES THE UTILITY OF THIS VEHICLE.
I GOT 2 MESSAGES POP UP; POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND I NEARLY RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR WHILE TURNING RIGHT.
MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PARKED. YOU CAN ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW (IF IT'S NOT FROZEN SHUT) AND REACH TO THE OUTSIDE TO UNLATCH FROM THE HANDLE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
