2010 Ford Fusion complaints

THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING FOR UNEXPECTED LUNGING AND STALLING OUT DURING ACCELERATION. HAPPENS AT VERY UNPREDICTABLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AT A COST OF APROX. $180

MY STEERING WHEEL IS "LOCKED". IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW, BUT I WOULD JUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK. WELL ON THURSDAY MORNING 9/14/2017 THIS DIDN'T WORK ANYMORE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE ON THE 2011 FORD FUSION, BY THE WAY MY CAR IS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND WHAT MAKES IT SO BAD THEY ARE BEING REPLACED WITH THE EXACT SAME PART THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS SINCE IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR BECAUSE MY CAR IS A 2010 MODEL BUT THE RECALL IS FOR THE PART, NOT THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE HELD FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE PART JUST BECAUSE IT WAS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST.

THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR WILL TURN OFF FOR NO REASON AT ALL. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I CAN RE-START THE CAR AND THEN IT'LL BE FINE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN FOR NO REASON. IT CAN HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING VERY FAST.

TAMARA RECALL. WAS ADVISED NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS THE TIRES ROTATED THERE IS A BROKEN FRONT RIGHT SIDE WHEEL LUG. TWICE IT HAS HAPPENED AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER,WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2012 AND 2 WHEEL LUGS ON THE REAR WERE REPLACED. THE TIRE SHOP REFUSES TO ROTATE THE TIRES UNLESS I REPLACE ALL THE ORIGINAL FORD CAPPED WHEEL NUTS. THIS IS A FORD PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME IT IS TIME THAT SOME TYPE OF ACTION IS TAKEN'

WENT TO THE STORE AS I TURNING TO PARK A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT THE POWER STEERING AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING, ONCE I CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND STARTED THE CAR, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS STILL ON POWER STEERING FAULT. I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE STATED THEY COULD RESET THE COMPUTER TO CLEAR THE WARNING LIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, PAID $105.00 TO CLEAR THE ERROR. THE ISSUE WAS GONE AND I HAD POWER STEERING THAT WAS ON A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, WELL FRIDAY MORNING WHEN I ON MY WAY TO WORK THE SAME WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND RESEARCHED ON HOW TO RESET BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY WOULD RESET IT. NO LUCK ON THAT. WHY HAVEN'T FORD DONE A RECALL ON THE 2010 FORD FUSION WHEN THEY KNOW IT HAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL, IT CAN CAUSE A WRECK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WAS UNABLE TO LOOSEN THE LUG NUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BERGSTROM FORD OF FOX VALLEY IN NEENAH, WI, 920-727-9000) FOR TIRE ROTATION, BUT THE TECHNICIAN REFUSED TO ROTATE THE TIRES WITHOUT CHANGING ALL THE LUG NUTS AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY THE CONTACT'S FRIEND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WHEEL STUDS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL STUDS NEEDED TO BE TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 20MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE ON THE NON-HYBRID FORD FUSION FOR WHICH FORD HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 HOWEVER FORD HAS EXCLUDED HYBRIDS AND MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE THE SAME THROTTLE BODY PART.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREE WAY AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO PULL OVER BUT MY CAR WOULDNT TURN AND AN ALARM AND A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH THAT READ "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". WHEN I LOOK UP THE ISSUE I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE ON FORD FUSIONS JUST NOT MY YEAR. WHY AM I NOT INCLUDED AND WHAT SHOULD I DO? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY HAZARD AND I NEED THIS TAKEN CARE OF

I WAS DRIVING TO GO PICK UP MY YOUND BOYS AT SCHOOL WENT AROUND CURVE MY POWER STEERING WENT PUT AND MY SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON AND MY SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON NO WARNING JUST WENT OUT I ALMOST HIT A TREE I CALL FORD PLACE THEY SAY I JAVE TO COME UP THERE LET THEM PUT IT ON MACHINE THAT IS 107.00 AND THEN TELLME WHATS WRONG AND THEY CAN FIX IT BUT THE PART THAT MAY BE NEEDED IS 900 DOLLARS IM A SINGLE MOM AND DNT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY IVE HAD THIS CAR LITTLE OVA 1 YR I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND BACK IN 2015 THEY RECALLED FORD FUSIONS FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS BUT THE OWNERS OF 2010 FUSIONS THAT WERE COMPLAINING WAS NOT RECALLED 2010 AND OLDER HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND IF THIS MANY PPL ARE COMPLAINING WHY HAVENT THEY RECALLED THEM ARE THEY WAITING TIL A PERSON GETS KILLED WHAT IF ITS A CHILD ALL THEY ARE GONNA DO IS SAY IM SO SORRY BUT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHY CANT WE GET OUR CARS FIXED THEY MADE THEM WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT

ADVANCE TRACKING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BRAKES AND WAS TOLD THAT ITS A MODULE DEFECT WHICH ONLY CAN BE REPLACED BY FORD. THIS COULD LOVK UP MY BRAKES AND POSSIBLY CAUSE ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

IN SPRING OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING IN MY MILITARY BARRACKS PARKING LOT WITH A PASSENGER THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING CAUSING THE VEHICLE FIGHT BACK FROM THE TURN. POWER STEERING FAILURE AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOTIFICATIONS APPEARED. I THEN HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING AND HAD A FELLOW SERVICE MEMBER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND WE DETERMINED TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT TO BE A RANDOM ISSUE AND CHARGED 1700$ TO REPLACE THE PIN AND STEERING RACK. TWO YEARS LATER IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER. I CONTACTED THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP IN WHICH THEY STILL CLAIMED IT TO BE A RANDOM FAULT AND IT WAS TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THE STEERING RACK AND PIN AND WOULD CHARGE ME 1700$ TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE DROVE WITHOUT DUE TO NOT BE WILLING TO PAY TO REPLACE IT AS IT WAS TOO COSTLY TO CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN CARTWRIGHT ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT IN REGARDS TO A FOLLOW UP LETTER DUE TO AN AIRBAG RECALL ON HIS 2010 FORD FUSION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN PENNSYLVANIA (ZONE B), BUT PRIMARILY DRIVEN IN FLORIDA (ZONE A). THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED ON THE ZONE A RECALL LIST. UPDATED 09/05/2017*JS

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I RECEIVED A "SERVICE POWER STEERING" INDICATOR ON THE DASH. A MINUTE OR TWO LATER I ALSO RECEIVE AN "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" INDICATOR. THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL WORKING AT THAT POINT AND I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF TO CHECK WHAT WAS WRONG. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON I RECEIVED A "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" INDICATOR ON THE DASH. AT THIS POINT THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AS IT WAS MUCH TOO DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND BROUGHT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE AND RENT A CAR AS I WAS VISITING FROM OUT OF TOWN AND HAD TO RETURN HOME. THE FORD SERVICE DEALER CALLED AND TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. $1600. OUCH

DROVE MY MOM'S 2010 FORD FUSION TO THE STORE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON BUT STEERING WAS FINE. AFTER EXITING THE STORE AND STARTING CAR HAD POWER STEERING FAILURE AND ADVANCETRAC FAILURE WARNINGS AND CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AFTER THAT. I'M JUST GLAD IT HAPPENED TO ME AND NOT MY MOM, SHE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND STUCK AT THE STORE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PICK HER UP

VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CODE INDICATED ON CONSOLE. RECALL AVAILABLE ON FORD FUSION 2011 - 2014. WHY WAS 2010 EXCLUDED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED KEARNY PEARSON FORD AT (858) 560-5544 (LOCATED AT 7303 CLAIREMONT MESA BLVD, SAN DIEGO, CA) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2010 FORD FUSION 2.0L SLE ORIGINALLY EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THE FAULT WAS ABLE TO BE CLEARED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND WOULD REMAIN DORMANT FOR A NUMBER OF DAYS OR WEEKS. RECENTLY, MY WIFE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THE PSAF FAULT REAPPEARED AND IS NOW UNABLE TO BE RESET BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE FAULT OCCURS DURING EVERY VEHICLE START CYCLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND RUN THE STEERING WHEEL THROUGH ITS ENTIRE RANGE OF MOTION TO INDUCE A SENSOR OR ENCODER RESET WITH NO SUCCESS. IT NOW APPEARS THAT I WILL NEED TO CONTACT A DEALER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN FUSIONS PRODUCED AFTER 2010. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE OPERATED IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION.

THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR STICKS CLOSED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO MUCH SLOWER THAN EXPECTED AND THIS OCCURS AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. THE CONDITION CREATES POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE IN ONLINE VEHICLE FORUMS. ENGINE CODE PRODUCED BY THE VEHICLE COMPUTER IS P2112.

THE HYBRID COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MP ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS LIKE TURNING OFF THE KEY. A RED TRIANGLE LIGHT SAID GOOD LUCK "STOP THE CAR". THIS IS WITHIN 100 MILES HAVING PAID 1200 TO A FORD DEALER TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND COOLING PUMP THAT WASN'T ONE OF THE 1.6 MILLION FORD HAD TO EXTEND WARRANTIES. SHAME ON NHSTA FOR NOT MAKING THEM RECALL EVERYTHING.

DRIVER DOOR LATCH SPRING BROKE. DRIVERS DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. I-4 IN TAMPA FLORIDA. AT SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. HAD TO HOLD DOOR SHUT WITH HAND TILL I COULD GET OFF ROAD SAFELY. FORD WOULD NOT COVER UNDER PRESENT RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM. ON NEWER MODELS. COSTING ME ALMOST $400 FOR THE REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING ON A REGULAR BUSY STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT NO WARNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR OR MAKING IN TURNS IN THE CAR AND ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB AND WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR I DID NOT HIT ANYBODY.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE, ONLY FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE MUST ROLL WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN CAR DOOR.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAS A " POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" MSG AS WELL AS A "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". THESE BOTH CAME ON 8 DAYS AGO (8/18/2017), WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" MSG CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES OR SO THE "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" MSG CAME ON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE THAT DAY AND NO FAULTS CAME UP EVEN THOUGH THE MESSAGES WERE STILL DISPLAYED ON DASH SCREEN, AND I STILL HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT THIS TIME. STEERING IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AS YET, MY CALLS HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED. ADDITIONALLY, I CALLED THE NATIONAL FORD HOT LINE AND GOT NO WHERE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. I AM SURE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY 2010 HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A NATION WIDE RECALL ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE.

MY FORD FUSION LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AT 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO SAFETY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, BACK ON, STILL NO POWER STEERING. RECEIVED WARNING FOR ADVANCE TRACK AND SERVICE POWER STERLING NOW. CHECKED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND CLEANED BATTERY WITHOUT ANY LUCK. DISCOVERED THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE EPAS SYSTEM ON MY CAR. THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE YEARS 2011 AND 2012 HOWEVER NOT FOR 2010, WHICH IS THE FIRST YEAR THIS SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 85,000 MILES. FOUND OUT THAT THE REPAIRS ON MY CAR WILL COST BETWEEN $1800 TO $2000 DOLLARS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AS THE OTHER RECALLS HAVE BEEN PLACED, BUT FORD IS NEGLECTING THE YEAR IN WHICH THE SYSTEM WAS FIRST INSTALLED, PUTTING MYSELF, MY CHILDREN, AND OTHERS AT RISK.

TAKATA RECALL. WHY HAS FORD NOT COME UP WITH A REMEDY? OTHER COMPANIES HAVE. MEANWHILE, MY FAMILY IS DRIVING A DANGEROUS CAR.

I RECEIVED A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE ON THE DASH READOUT WHILE BACKING UP IN A PARKING STRUCTURE. STEERING LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL OR CHANGE DIRECTIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESET IT BY TURNING OFF AND ON THE IGNITION. LUCKILY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO FORD SERVICE CENTER. FORD DEALERSHIP LATER DIAGNOSED THIS TO RACK AND PINION NEEDING REPLACEMENT AT $1700 PARTS AND LABOR. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD GET THE FAULT TO REOCCUR WHILE MONITORING THE COMPUTER PORT. SEEM LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. CAR IS A 2010 AND HAS 118K MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WORKERS WERE VERY CONCERNED THAT WE DROVE THE CAR TOT HE DEALERSHIP. THEY KNOW OF THESE ISSUES AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ASSISTANCE TO THE CONSUMER WITH WARRANTY OR RECALL. I GUESS WE NEED A FEW MORE DEAD HUMANS BEFORE THEY TAKE NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO - NO ACTION TAKEN YET. DEALER REFUSES TO DISCONNECT THE AIR BAG. I HAVE LOST THE USE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT IN MY CAR. YOU NEED TO HAVE CONGRESS OR SOMEONE AUTHORIZE DISCONNECTION OF THE AIR BAG. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. BETTER YET - REPLACE THE [XXX] AIR BAG NOW!! I'M SURE FORD COULD FIND SOME ALTERNATE PRODUCT TO REPLACE THIS.

I BOUGHT THE CAR INSPECTED FROM A DEALER AND BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN I AM HELD RANSOMED TO PAY OR PARK THE VEHICLE.
