2010 Ford Fusion complaints

A FRIENDS FORD FUSION HAD THE POWER STEERING FAIL WHILE VISITING THE POST OFFICE. IT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED , HOWEVER THE DRIVER A WOMAN COULD NO LONGER STEER IT. HER BOYFRIEND DROVE IT TO MY HOUSE. IT IS STILL PARKED THERE.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the brake pedal would depress to the floorboard before the vehicle would come to a complete stop. The contact also stated that the check engine warning light was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where a code reader determined a defect with the ABS. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Power Steering Assist Fault. This message comes on occasionally when I first start the car. When I turn ignition off and back on, it usually clears up. My car has only 52k miles. Other Ford Fusion years had the same problem. Why were they recalled but not 2010? I’ve taken the car to a mechanic who has told me electronic power steering module must be replaced. I’m waiting for the estimate. $1500-$2500 out of pocket for a known manufacturer defect is unnerving. It first happened in the fall and now happens more frequently.

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2010 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while the owner was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was leaking fuel. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a fractured fuel tank. The mechanic determined that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the recall repair of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V793000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) was performed on the vehicle in July 2017; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not repaired. There was no further information provided. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 194,000.

Never had issues with my car since I had it. But over the past year the cars brakes, if you keep your foot on the pedal, over time it will slowly go closer to the floor. I could stop, but the brakes felt squishy. Biggest problem though is my brakes were working fine, no warning lights, nothing.. Park car turn it off, go into store, come back out and my brakes are not working. The pedal goes right to floor. I had to use my emergency brake to stop. I took car to shop and they said the ABS control module needs replaced. This is a common issue with the 2010 Ford Fusion hybrids.. But there doesnt seem to be a recall on it. He even said when he checked the information there is a recall on that ABS control unit, but when you call Ford, they say my particular VIN number is not covered. This is nonsense, because I am having the same identical issue with the other Ford fusion and cars that have this same exact part in it. When I went to go pick up my car, now the brakes are working. It makes no sense. Will they go out again on me at any given time? This is a major concern and danger to me and those around me if they go out while I am driving. Please make FORD include this VIN number make and model be recalled for the repair. Thank you

After the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) was engaged, the braking system was spongy, in that the pedal would almost reach the floor before the brakes started working. It has happened several times, but has gotten worse recently, three times in the past six months. One time it happened when I went over a speed bump. I have to be extremely careful when this happens. Once the vehicle sits overnight it seems to clear up. I try not to use the ABS, but it is winter now and this morning someone pulled out in front of me, and I had to use the brakes aggressively. Again, the braking system became spongy. I am hoping by the end of work today it has been remedied for now. After it happens, I am extremely careful about following other cars, for fear of hitting them. It takes longer to stop because of this. I bought the car through the Military overseas program and finding somebody to look at an American car in Korea has been hard. Something is wrong with the ABS.

Low beam headlights are so dim I can only see maybe 5' in front of me.

Hi. I’m the owner of 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. VIN: [XXX] Recently, I almost got crushed while I was driving, because I suddenly could not use brakes…this is happened because of the known ABS issue with this car (I called my mechanic, he diagnosed the issue and it is with ABS Module and it is under a recall and should be fixed by a dealer). However, when I got my car to the dealership, I was surprised that it is not a recall for a Hybrid version of Ford Fusion my year and I have to pay from my own pocket almost $5,000 for part and labor. I do not understand why, it is unfair. This is the known issue for a very long time for so many people. It should be recalled and fixed. You can die while you’re driving!!! Here is one of the topics on a forum about this issue: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I've had two issues with the power steering going out while driving, whic is very dangerous. The lug nuts also are fused on. I see recalls for these issues, although it says my vin# is not included. I hardly think I have the exact issues, but somehow they aren't related to these recalls. The date I am providing is the most recent. There was another over the summer

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the steering wheel became firm which made the vehicle difficult to operate. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was unknown.

Turned car on to go run errands and warning went off in car about power steering assist failure. Lost power steering. This was reproduced at the car dealership, and I did have to drive my car without power steering to the dealership (which was difficult as I’ve always had power steering). They were also able to get the same warning at the dealership. As far as I know component and vehicle inspected at dealership but unknown about manufacture, etc. This was the first time I saw the warning, when the power steering went out.

WHENEVER I PUT GAS IN THE CAR I HAVE TO GO EXTREMELY SLOW OR THE FUEL WILL "SPIT" BACK OUT ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION AT THE PUMP.

Brakes Failing brakes Not yet No No Going over bumps the ABS got actuated and the brake pedal went to the floor, was mushy. There is a recall but our car does not fall under the dates. Our car manufactured 05/10

The power steering keep on going out in my car.

The component that has failed is the ABS antilock brake pump. Many Ford fusions of the same year (2010) have a recall for this. However, according to my vin, there is no recall. The antilock brake system completely locked up while driving there were no prior incidents. No brake lights no inclination that the antilock brake pump had any issues. When the antilock brake pump stopped working, it almost caused a serious accident. It was as if, though we were hydroplaning we had no control over the Car. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the car went directly into a field. There was myself, my daughter, my son, and a friend four week old baby in the car!! my son is still having nightmares even though this happened a couple weeks ago! He is autistic and eight years old. This is extremely scary. I had absolutely no control over the car The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The problem has been reported to the dealer however, even though I have a 2010 it is not reported for a recall. The vehicle component has been inspected by a licensed mechanic. There were no previous morning signs no dash lights no issue with the ABS system at all. The car has been maintained regularly. The car has not been fixed because we didn’t know what the problem was until last week.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the brakes became inoperable. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. No warning light was illuminated.

ABS Advancetrac system failure results in extended brake pedal travel required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The condition does not result in a loss of braking function and the vehicle can be brought to a controlled stop

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that she attempted to start the vehicle however, the engine failed to turn over. The contact stated that the low tire pressure warning light illuminated, and the fuel gauge displayed 0 miles to empty. The contact stated that her friend refueled the fuel tank however, the fuel leaked out onto the ground. Additionally, the contact stated that she had to have the vehicle jumpstarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V973000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that previously the recall repair was completed. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Hit pot hole and the brake peddle went most of the way to the floor and never changed. It now has a very low peddle. No brake fluid leaks.

Driving home from the Dr.'s office the vehicle's RPM suddenly began to increase yet the vehicle was not moving faster; the Wrench icon came on, the vehicles Blind Spot Warning came on, the Speedometer went to zero and the vehicle continued to move forward at regular speed. With less than one mile to get home we were able to continue to drive the vehicle. When the vehicle was shifted into reverse to back the car into the garage, the transmission made a loud bang and jerked the car. The vehicle was driven into the garage. The fluids were checked and all are good. The vehicle was then started again and shifted into drive and the loud bang and jerk happened again. The vehicle has not been driven.

Gasoline was leaking from the top of the gas tank down the side of the tank near the passenger side rear tire (opposite side from the fuel filler cap). This was first notice on 10/8/2023. The gas would leak when the tank was filled until approximately 1 gallon had leaked out on the ground underneath the tank. I put a container under the car near the passenger side tire to catch the gas. There was a strong smell of gas inside and around the car. We took the car to the mechanic who said the gas tank had a crack at the top of the tank. The mechanic replaced the tank with a used tank which cost approximately $514.00 total installed. A new tank would have cost approximately $1100.00 installed.

Took my vehicle in on 09/01/2023 for the recall # 19S54 ABS HCU Valve Concern. Prior to this, there were no warning signs and my brakes worked fine. My car failed the test. They replaced the part that was recalled. Since then, my car has no brakes. Brakes go to the floor, making it nearly impossible to stop in time or even in an emergency. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. The dealership has had the car for over two months with no resolution. I need answers.

The brakes quit working without warning. My foot went straight to the floor before engaging any sort of resistance and the emergency brake was needed to bring the car to a complete stop. I’ve checked the VIN lookup, and there IS a recall for this exact same car, same year and everything, but for some reason my VIN isn’t pulling it up.. it matches the recall currently in file for the 2010 ford fusion brake problems. How do we get ford to expand their recall to actually include all defective vehicles??

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact had turned the vehicle on and as she was reversing (R) out of her driveway at approximately 3 MPH, she felt that the steering wheel had become very stiff, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn to the left or right. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle regained power steering functionality; however, one block from her residence the failure recurred. The contact stated that the steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. The contact returned to the residence and parked the vehicle. The contact stated that subsequent attempts to reset the power steering had failed and the loss of power steering assist had become a permanent failure. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V340000 (Steering). The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Eps electronic power steering catches and grinds and I've seen recalls on 2010+ fusions and mine have all the same symptoms.

On August 31, 2023, my car had break services that included all four breaks replaced and serviced at Ford dealer Oxnard, CA. Today, 9/27/23, on the way to the doctor's office on the local street, about half a block's distance to a Stop sign, the Traction Control System light flipped on and the breaks turned loose and started speeding up toward a women pushing a baby carriage crossing the street. The breaks didn't respond so I quickly turned to the turning lane to avoid hitting that woman and baby carriage. What I wanted to know is, normally, when the TCS fails, the car speed would slow down. But in my situation, the car, as if had a mind of its own, speeding up toward that woman crossing the street pushing a baby carriage! Is the speeding caused by the TCS suddenly turning loose while I had my foot on the break, so released its energy, or is the 2010 Ford Fusion can be installed remote control and remotely manipulated by someone with malicious intention to cause injury? Since this type of situation can impact many drivers and could cause serious injuries to drivers and pedestrians, I ask for a investigation into what could have caused this danger, so to prevent it from happening again. Thanks much! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My brake pedal went soft after an ABS event and feels soft, it suddenly did this and I almost crashed. It has happened before, but the brakes went back to normal.

Powering steering assist light came on. In the situation the car was driven and maybe an hour and a half after it had been parked, the power steering assist light came on after trying to drive it again, and the car couldn’t steer at all.

All of the ABS and parking brake lights come on and won't go off. We took it to a Henderson Ford, and they said our Anti-Lock Brake Module failure. They have to order a new part and it will be a long time before to get the part. I heard there was a recall on 2010 ABS Brake system, but when I put in VIN number it says there is no recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. On two separate occasions when we started the vehicle the ABS, traction control, and the brake light warning lights came on. After putting the vehicle in drive and moving forward slowly (less than 10 mph) in a parking lot the dashboard warning lights remained on and the brake pedal was almost completely ineffective when depressed despite being pushed to the floorboard. The vehicle rolled to a stop in one instance and in the other the vehicle was stopped with extreme pressure on the brake and using the emergency brake lever. After the first incident we had the vehicle brakes inspected by an independent mechanic who replaced the brake fluid. After the second incident we brought the vehicle to a Ford dealer who charged $200 to conduct an inspection. This inspection showed the problem to be “code U3000 in the ABS system. Internal failure of the module needs HCU unit and module” repair. Cost estimated to be $4130 and despite this issue being identical to the issue that prompted a recall of other 2010 Fusion Hybrids (NHTSA Campaign ID #19V904000; NHTSA Action #EA18002) the dealer stated that the VIN was not included in the recall and would charge us the full quoted cost to repair an obvious critical, life-threatening safety issue. The failure mileage was 133,700.

Longer than normal brake pedal travel and harder pressure are needed to stop the car. Since it is 122,259 miles, I decided to replace the brakes as a preventative maintenance program. I replaced the rear calipers, all four rotors, all pads, and then had even less brake pedal. I replaced the master cylinder, which still had less brake pedal travel. I towed the car to a local independent mechanic shop, and they also replaced the master cylinder and brake lines, but still no brake pedal. They found evidence of the ABS module being bad and an active warranty for the same year, make, and model and told me to go to the dealer. I called the dealer, and they said there was no recall on my vin, but there is one for other fans of the same year, make, and model. The car will be towed to the Ford dealer, who said they will replace the ABS module, flush the fluid, replace it with a new DOT 4 fluid, and reprogram the controller. They told me to save receipts so that when it gets to be part of the recall, I can try for a refund. Can we do something so that this problem does not kill someone? The brakes go out or fail terribly without warning, and I am thankful I was driving and not my young daughter, who would not have been able to control and stop the car.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to respond as needed with the brake pedal depressed. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to contact the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.

I had a short ABS event, as in the ABS system activated for a few seconds while I was driving. About 3-5 minutes later, I arrived at my destination, and turned off the car. 3 minutes later, I started the car & began to drive, and about 200-300 yards later the car made a warning sound and the majority of the warning lights on the dashboard lit up. I gently applied the brake and found it to be "mushy". I ended up having to apply significant force and push the brake nearly to the floor and the car very slowly decelerated. I parked & turned off the car & checked the brake fluid level which was fine. I saw nothing visibly wrong, so I started the car again and the exact same scenario repeated itself. I was able to park the car again & have it towed to a ford service center. They have confirmed that the ABS system has failed. Because this matches the description of the ABS recall for 2010 Ford Fusions, I believe it is the exact same faulty part and that my car should have been part of the recall. I plan to hold on to the component so it will be available for inspection. Of note, this exact same failure happened to my car once before, in 2015. I had an ABS event, then parked briefly, then my brakes failed in exactly the same manner. However after I stopped the car & parked it overnight that time, the car resumed normal operation. The following day, I took the car to the local ford service center who claimed there were no error codes present and that nothing had gone wrong with the ca

While driving went to stop and brakes did not work. Put the petal to the floor and all the ABS lights came on. Took it to a brake specialist and they said all the components of the brakes are good but something in the electrical or computer system is causing them to not work. There is a recall on this issue on the non hybrid version of this vehicle. The hybrid needs to be inculded.

After a hard braking incident, my cars brakes are spongy and abs doesn't work anymore.

When driving my brake system (ABS) lit up on the dash and I had to put additional force on the brakes in order to stop. There was no warning that occurred prior to the dash warning coming on. I took the car to Krieger Ford service department and they could not locate any issue with the brake system. They released the car back to me and it remained parked for 3 days. On the 4th day I tried to drive the car and the same alerts happened again. I took the car back to Ford and later they found that the ABS module and applicable parts had failed. When I asked about the recall, the service center said there were no recalls available for my car.

ABS module. Potential safety risk. Huge lawsuit waiting to happen.

Power Steering Failure- With warning lamps initiated after driving forward. I own a 2010 Ford Fusion with only 58k miles. Never had a problem before- - Incident 1- While getting in the vehicle on a straight path after starting the car and going forward the cars “Power Steering Failure” lamp turns on and there is no turning or moving on the steering wheel other than going forward. The electric power steering completely locks up and you can’t turn the wheel which is a definite safety hazard and can put me in a position where I might have to swerve or move over- Both Safety being stuck on the roadway and being stuck only to go forward and back. - I see there was a recall on 2011 through 2013 Ford Fusions for the Power Steering Electric rack and pinion but not 2010 models. Why is this not on the same recall- I researched the Power Steering replacement and its the same 2010-2013- Same part to change out. I strongly believe since its the same issue as I read others had to replace on the recall that 2010 should be included in this recall based on this is the same electric Power Steering in those recalled models and year. We have to take it to the dealership tomorrow because its an electric power steering issue and they said it wasn’t included in the recall but they know about the problem. The vehicle has to be towed to the dealership and the only movement is forward and reverse when this Power Steering Failure occurs.
