2010 Ford Fusion complaints

I START THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT IMMEDIATELY WARNS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE STEERING APPEARED TO WORK. VERY FRIGHTENING DRIVE HOME. LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. ALSO SAW FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR MODEL YEARS EXCEPT 2010 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND INCLUDED IN THE SAME RECALL.

I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST HIT THE WALL AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY! THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE CAME ON AND HAS NOT GONE OFF. I HAVE TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL.

PREVIOUSLY HAD ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES. SPENT $1500.00 TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION. A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER NOW READING 155,700 MILES I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DRIVE DAILY ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS PUSHING 70MPH FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT A TIME. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY ON A BACK ROAD WHEN "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF STEERING. COULD BE KILLED DRIVING TO WORK WHEN I THOUGH I ALREADY REPLACE THE PROBLEM JUST TO HAVE IT MESS UP 50 THOUSAND MILES LATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE BRAKE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAS TIRE AND AUTO (LOCATED AT 850 WEST BRISTOL, INDIANA, 46514), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED AND AN ERROR CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE CONTACT HAD THE BRAKES, ROTORS, AND PADS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (CHUCK'S AUTO GARAGE). THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-12555603. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. UPDATED 08/24/17*LJ *CN

WHEN IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO FULLY ENGAGE BRAKES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DECELERATION BECAUSE THE PEDAL RESISTANCE CHANGES IN THE MIDDLE OF BRAKING, OFTEN INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE. WHEN IN MOTION AND DECELERATING, THE BRAKE PEDAL RESISTANCE WILL SUDDENLY BECOME SOFTER AND THE CAR WILL STOP DECELERATING UNLESS I PRESS THE PEDAL IN FARTHER. WHEN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WILL BECOME SOFT AND THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ROLL FORWARD UNINTENTIONALLY. I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD. THIS ISSUE WORRIES ME WHEN I AM DRIVING IN AREAS WITH MANY STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DID NOT WORK WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE WORKED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO BLOOMINGTON LINCOLN (1001 CLOVER DRIVE BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA 55420) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT.THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. UPDATED 08/22/17*LJ *CN

AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE LIGHT WAS WAS ON WHEN STARTED VEHICLE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEAL AND THE ERROR CODE WAS B0020-13. ISSUE WAS INTERMITTENT CONNECTION UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE AIR BAG HARNESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (RED RIVER FORD LOCATED AT 402 WESTSIDE DRIVE DURANT, OK 74701 580-924-9458) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER ASSIST MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

STARTED THE CAR AND ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND A WARNING TO SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. I PULLED OVER STEERING WAS OKAY AND AFTER I PULLED OFF THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. IM STILL WAITING FOR SERVICE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

POWER STEERING SHIFT WARNING COMES ON AND YOU CANT STEER. DEALER DID A RESET OF COMPUTER BUT SAID IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT CHARGE OF $1400. THAT PART IS COVERED FREE OF CHARGE IN 2011 BUT NOT IN 2010.

POWER STEERING ASSIST LOCKING UP

BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, CAR EXHIBITED "POWER STEERING FAILURE" INDICATOR. WHEEL LOCKED TO THE POINT OPERATOR COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP TESTED THE EPAS (ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING) GEAR/MODULE AND IT CODED. SAME VEHICLE IN 2011 OR 2012 MODEL WITH SAME CODE WOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART AND EXACT SAME CODE AND FAILURE IN THE 2010 MODEL. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL EPAS GEARS/MODULES PRIOR TO THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT CORRECTION (2012). CLEARLY FORD MISREPORTED THE PARTS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, AS THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PART. HAD THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED OR IN A TURN, MY DAUGHTER LIKELY WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND MAY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO FORD'S NEGLIGENCE.

LOST POWER STEERING UPON ENTERING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ALMOST RAN A MAILBOX OVER AND SOME KIDS IN THE YARD. AFTER SEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE OVER MULTIPLE TEARS AND VEHICLES ALL WITH THE SAME ROAD SYSTEM. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE PEOPLE DYING! THEY JUST GOT OFF THE TURNPIKE...WHAT IF IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED THEN?

SHORTLY AFTER TURNING MY CAR ON, WHILE STILL STATIONARY, A CHIME WENT OF AND MY DASH DISPLAY READ "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING IN THE CAR. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, AT WHICH POINT THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN. AFTER TAKING TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, IT IS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW POWERING STEERING RACK IS NECESSARY AS IT IS UNKNOWN IF/WHEN THE POWER STEERING WILL QUIT FUNCTIONING (STATIONARY, DRIVING, TURNING, ETC). ORIGINALLY REPORTED THIS AS A "UNKNOWN/OTHER" ISSUE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID TO REPORT IT AS A "STEERING ISSUE". OTHER COMPLAINT IS UNDER TRACKING # 10993921.

SHORTLY AFTER STARTING MY CAR I RECEIVED THE WARNING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND MY POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011-2012 MODELS BUT THE 2010 WAS LEFT OUT, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM EXISTS IN THIS MODEL TOO. I NOW CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING GO OUT AT A MOMENTS NOTICE

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR OVER ONE YEAR ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. IS FORD JUST WAITING FOR US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR GET RID OF THE CAR DUE TO OLD AGE? WE BELIEVE THAT FORD IS JUST STALLING SO THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO MAKE REPAIRS.

ON MAY 25, 2017 I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND ROUNDED A BUILDING PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. FROM THE SPEED BUMP TO THE PARKING SPACE THE SLOW SPEED IS PERFECT FOR PULLING IN THE SPACE. I WAS BRAKING TO A STOP WHEN MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD ONLY STOPPING WHEN IT STRUCK THE BUILDING. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME, AS WITNESSED BY MY PASSENGER. I'M 4'10" TALL AND UNLIKE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I HAVE TO STRETCH TO REACH THE ACCELERATOR - SO THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE TWO. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD EVER EXPERIENCED A LURCHING ACTION IN OUR FUSION. WE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ACTION IN OUR FREESTYLE AND HAVE MANAGED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN THAT VEHICLE, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE FUSION. THE PREVIOUS OWNER MENTIONED A RARE TRANSMISSION "HICCUP" HIS MECHANIC COULD NEVER FIND. WE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE FUSION SINCE OCTOBER 2016 AND IT DROVE BEAUTIFULLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" MESSAGE APPEARED.

THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. WE HAVE CHANGED THE FUSE SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. THE MANUAL HAS NO INFORMATION ABOUT IT

BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON..POWER STEERING FAULT ASSIST. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THINKING I HAVE TO MAKE A CALL TO BE TOWED. WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON I COULDN'T STEER IT. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. DROVE APPROX. 2 MILES TO MY RESIDENCE. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT WAS DETERMINED DTC'S V300049-INTERNAL ELECTRIC FAILURE V300072-ACUATOR STUCK OPEN. BECAUSE IT WASN'T PRESENTING AT THE TIME OF THE TEST WAS TOLD...IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO GET A POWER STEERING RACK. EST. $1663.46. FORD ALSO CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND INFORMED ME THAT IF IT WAS A 2011 IT WOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL. I'M VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AS I FEEL THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN A ACCIDENT WHICH COULD VERY EASILY RESULT IN PERSON INJURY OR DEATH!!! I'M SHOCKED THAT FORD DIDN'T INCLUDE THE 2010'S IN THIS RECALL!!! I INTEND TO SEEK A LEGAL COUNCIL WITH THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT...THE CAR WILL BEGIN BUCKING, DECELERATE, LOSE POWER, AND LIGHTS ON DASH WILL START FLASHING... RENDERING THE DRIVER PRETTY MUCH HELPLESS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS PRIOR TO FORDS THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY RECALL. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED FORD WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM CAUSE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE PRESENT. THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AND THE CAR WILL BE FINE THEN WILL REOCCUR RANDOMLY. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO RESOLVE ITSELF FOR 2YRS. THE CAR IS NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM...I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALER AND AFTER 2 DAYS IN THE SHOP AGAIN NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND BY THE TECHNICIANS. THE CAR AGAIN CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PICKING UP FROM SERVICE CENTER. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED 250 MILES TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT NOW SITS ROTTING AWAY FOR FEAR OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. TURNING SLIGHTLY TO ENTER TRAFFIC AND THE WHEEL STOPPED TURNING. INFORMATION ON DASH PANEL APPEARED AFTER LOSS OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HIT THE CURB AND CAME TO A STOP. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT YET GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE ON RAMP. VEHICLE SAYS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

POWER STEERING SPORADICALLY STOPS WORKING, THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND SUBSEQUENT RESTART OF THE CAR SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THEIR IS A RECALL ON 2011 FUSIONS, THIS NEEDS TO COVER 2010 AS WELL.

TAMARA RECALL! MY CARS ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE MACHINE SAYS IT'S A EVAP LEAK THROUGH THE FUEL NECK. AND THERE IS TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE ACCELERATING. THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

POWER STEERING FAILED. WARNING LIGHTS SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, SERVICE POWER STEERING. PULLING RIGHT ONTO CITY STREET, LIGHT TRAFFIC. EXTREME DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING CAR. TROUBLE STAYING IN LANE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE NOTIFICATION. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IN MY GARAGE, THE POWER STEERING WOULDN'T WORK AND I GOT THE ABOVE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD AND AN ALARM. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, AND THE POWER STEERING WENT TO NORMAL. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T FIND OUT IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. *TR

JUST PAID $1658.00 FOR THE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE RACK & PINION IN OUR 2010 FORD FUSION DUE TO AN INHERENT DEFECT OF THE STEERING SYSTEM THAT OCCURS AROUND 90,0000 -100,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL DATE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS JUNE 2016 AND IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARLY A YEAR AND FORD STILL HAS "NO REMEDY" FOR THIS RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL OR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT MY CAR ALSO HAS BUT NOW IS PAST THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" AND THEY WILL NOT FIX FOR FREE, DESPITE ME HAVING MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT IN THE PAST. LAST WEEK, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY. I HAD BEEN LUCKY NO ONE WAS CLOSELY FOLLOWING BEHIND ME AND I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND QUICKLY COULD PULL OVER OR I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND AT A VERY FAST SPEED BECAUSE OF THE ETB FAILING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT MY CAR HAS. FORD HAS FAILED TO NOTIFY ME AND I FEEL THAT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SEND ME ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MY ADDRESS AND EMAIL, THEY PUT ME AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE LED TO SERIOUS INJURIES.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL RECEIVED - 2 YRS. LATER NO RESOLUTION. FEAR OF DRIVING CAR. ONLY COMFORTABLE DRIVING CLOSE TO HOME. 10 YR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT. FEEL THIS CAR SHOULD BE RE-PURCHASED BY DEALER SINCE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR. HAVE ALEADY HAD TO HAVE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED DUE TO CAR JUST STOPPING WHEN BEING DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. RECALL ON POSSIBLE LEAKING GAS TANK. ALMOST 2 YEARS - NO RESOLUTION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRIVE THIS PIECE OF CRAP ON THE HIGHWAY?????

COMPLETE POWER STEERING LOSS WARNING CAME ON AFTER INDICATING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE TURNING.

I CONTINUE TO GET MESSAGES INDICATING THAT MY POWER STEERING ASSIST IS NOT WORKING. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2010 FUSION. IF I WAS DRIVING AND THIS SYSTEM WAS TO FAIL, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT I COULD HAVE A BAD CRASH BECAUSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR IS FOR THE MOST PART GONE. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT OTHERS FELT SHOULD'VE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL AS WELL.
