WHEN MAKING TURNS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND "POWER STEER ASSIST FAULT" COMES UP IN THE MESSAGE CENTER. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT USUALLY RESETS ITSELF BUT ALWAYS OCCURS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS POWER STEERING IS LOST.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DID NOT CAUSE ACCIDENT HOWEVER I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR PULLED OVER AS IT BASICAALY HAD NO STEERNIG. MY GRANDFATHER WAS ABLE TO GET CAR HOME BUT I HAD TO BORROW HIS CAR TO GET TO WORK AS I AM A FEDERAL POSTAL WORKER. I HAVE REPAIR BILLS OF $1800.00+

THROTTLE BODY BEING REPLACED AGAIN. IN JUNE 2014, AS PART OF THE RECALL, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. ON MAY 24, 2016 THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THEN THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO DEALER ON MAY 26, 2016 AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE THROTTLE BODY AS DEFECTIVE. REPLACEMENT IS COVERED UNDER THE 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT FORD AGREED TO WITH THE NHTSA. NOW I'M WONDERING IF THE THROTTLE BODY WILL BE A RECURRING PROBLEM AND HASN'T REALLY BEEN FIXED.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED MANY TIMES RENDERING MY CAR UNDELIVERABLE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION (PHILIPS V. FORD MOTOR CO.) INVOLVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE 2010 - 2014 MODEL YEAR. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY; HOWEVER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT FORD KNEW OF THE DEFECT PRIOR TO THE 2010 MODEL YEAR GOING INTO PRODUCTION. THE REPAIRS HAVE COAT ME APPROX. $1,600 AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I ASKED FORD TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY DENIES MY CLAIM. PLEASE ASSIST ME IN OBTAINING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT.

OUR VEHICLE IS A 2010 FUSION WITH 96,000 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE DROVE TO WORK YESTERDAY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH AND WAS EXTREMELY SLOW GETTING TO THAT SPEED. I KNOW FORD HAS A "SATISFACTION PROGRAM" FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE YET WHEN I CALLED THEM MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE PROGRAM. THIS IS THE SAME [XXX] PROBLEM AS THE OTHER ETB REPLACEMENT AND SOFTWARE UPDATE YET I'M BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. MY WIFE ENDED UP BREAKING DOWN ON A VERY BUSY STREET WITH CARS BEHIND HER YET FORD WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN THE 1.6 MILLION VEHICLES THEY RECALLED. HOW CAN MY ISSUE BE EXACTLY THE SAME YET NOT MEET THE CRITERIA? SO DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE IT'S ADDRESS, OR HOW MANY POOR PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS WITH MONEY THEY DON'T HAVE BEFORE THIS IS RECALLED AS IT SHOULD BE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO PROPERLY STEER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

POWER STEERING FAULT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. TURNED IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND RESTARTED POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. CARRIED CAR IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. NOW IT'S HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES . BEING THAT IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY NOW ITS OUT AGAIN .

THIS IS MY HUSBANDS CAR, THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND HE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ON A WINDING ROAD. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME, BUT HAS NOT HAD ANY POWER STEERING SINCE. WE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED IT FROM. THEY SAID THAT OUR CAR NEEDED A NEW EPAS RACK. WE WERE QUOTED AT $1,600 TO REPLACE. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS HAD HAPPENED.

I WAS TURNING LEFT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND ALL OF SUDDEN I LOST POWER STEERING. ON MY MESSAGE SCREEN THE WORDS POPPED UP "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" THEN ANOTHER MESSAGE POPPED UP REGARDING TRACTION CONTROL. I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO THE RIGHT AND AVOID THE COLLISION. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, SHE WOULD HAVE HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I HEARD THE REPAIR COSTS TO GET IT FIXED, I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND NOW I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

CAR IN MOTION RAPIDLY DECELERATED ON MAJOR HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 65 MPH. CODE ON COMPUTER SHOWED A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. FORD HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF A RESIDENCE AND IN PARK WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTION, THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DRIPPING ON THE STREET BELOW. VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNDRIVEABLE AND TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BRAKE LINE FAILURE WHERE THE LINE ITSELF WAS INTACT, BUT THE RUBBER HOSE HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE CRIMPED METAL FITTING. ATTACHED PHOTO SHOW THE SECTION OF HOSE THAT HAD COME LOOSE

THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WITH MESSAGE TO SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW ON DASHBOARD MAKING CAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER.I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING.

AS I PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION (TURNING RIGHT), THE 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND POWER STEERING' WARNING CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY. UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL, I DID ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AS IT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE NEXT MORNING, STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE, I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE IT AN INCH, AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A MECHANIC. AFTER TWO DAYS OF DIAGNOSTICS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND SIMPLY RESET THE COMPUTER. HE SAID IT NOW IS A MATTER OF WAITING TO SEE IF THAT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND IF IT DOES, HE WOULD SUGGEST A NEW RACK AND PINION.

I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND AFTER STOPPING, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT MY CAR HAD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED POWER. THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GUIDE MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE GARAGE. I WAS TOLD I'D NEW A NEW THROTTLE BODY THAT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $300 TO REPLACE INCLUDING LABOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BECOMING EXTREMELY TIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT EACH TIME THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 68 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION INTERMITTENTLY AND A REPAIR SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING INTO A MODERATE LEFT CURVE ON A NARROW TWO LANE CITY STREET THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL ALLOWING THE CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ONE MINOR INJURY TO A PASSENGER. CAR WAS TOTALED. NO TICKETS WERE ISSUED. THE CAR WAS UNDER A RECALL 15S34FOR SOME PROBLEM WITH THE PTCM AND FUEL TANK AND CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND WAS SCHEDULED TO REPAIRED 04/27/16. RECALL WAS FIRST RECEVIED ON 01//2016 BUT THE REPAIR OK WAS RECEIVED IN 04/16. THERE IS ALSO A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION ON THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON THIS YR FORD FUSION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A PAVED COUNTY ROAD, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHICH RESULTED IN THE FRONT WHEEL IMPACTING A CONCRETE CURB AND CAUSING THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT AND DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL.

ON THE EVENING OF APRIL 22, 2016 CAR SHUT OFF WHEN IN MOTION AT 35MPH ON A CITY STREET. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I DROVE THE CAR 2 MILES TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE TO HAVE HIM CHECK IT. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET. FIVE TIMES. A 10 MINUTE DRIVE TOOK ME MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. ERROR CODE P2111 CAME UP. MY CAR HAS UNDER 68,000 MILES. THROTTLE BODY. I BELIEVE THIS IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

CAR STALLED IN PARKING LOT. FORD DEALER SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT WAS COVERED UNDER SOME TYPE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR, SO I WAS SUSPICIOUS. THEY DID CHARGE FOR A FUEL INJECTION SERVICE. RESEARCH ONLINE REVEALED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORDS, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR CAN STALL AT ANY SPEED, WITH POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF ANY FURTHER LEGAL ACTION ON THIS. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT.

THE VEHICLE STARTING HAVING A ROUGH IDLE AND STALLING OUT AT A RED LIGHTS. I IMMEDIATELY HAD IT CHECKED, AND THE TECHNICIAN CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN, WITH NO WARNING I SAW SMOKE/STEAM POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR HELP AND ASKED WHAT TO DO. I WAS ADVISED BY THE TECHNICIAN TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LILLISTON FORD IN VINELAND, NJ. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. WHEN ASKED WHY, I WAS CONSISTENTLY TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WITHOUT TAKING THE MOTOR APART BUT THAT THEY FOUND ALL OF THE COOLANT IN THE ENGINE PAN, MIXED WITH THE MOTOR OIL. IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT THE HEAD GASKET WENT BAD AND COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE MOTOR CAUSING TWO THINGS TO HAPPEN - IT MIXED WITH THE ENGINE OIL (WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY BAD), AND SINCE NOW ALL OF THE COOLANT WAS OUT OF THE RADIATOR THE CAR OVERHEATED AND WARPED THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND WAS RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES AS SUCH. CASE NUMBER: CAS-9188661.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE FROM A STOP, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING POWER CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000...UPDATED 05/02/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO WARNING. WHEN THE FAULT OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS AROUND $2,000. UPDATED 05/04/16

THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. I HAVE VIDEO OF WHEN MONE FAILED AND TOOK A LOT OF OTHER THINGS WITH IT LIKE THE AIR BAGS, BRAKES, ADVANCE TRACK SYSTEM AND MORE. I CALLED FORD ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH FAILURE OCCURING! THIS IS BULL AND THEY NEED TO RECALL THOSE VEHICLES FOR REPLACEMENT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. JUST WONDERING IF THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR BEFORE ANYONE FORCES THEM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE VIDEO PROVING ALL THAT IT TAKES OUT WHEN IT FAILS. WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE FILE A LAW SUIT OF MY OWN? HAD I BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE POWER STEERINGWENT OUT I MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AS THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE FUNCTIONED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY CAR REPLACED OR AT THE VERY LEAST REPAIRED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED THEN THE BRAKES THEN THE AIR BAGS. MOST EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN OUT BY THE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING. MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME AND CAN ATTEST TO WHAT HAPPENED AS HE WAS THE DRIVER.

VEH. RECALL ON FUEL TANK. FORD RECALL # 15S34 CAR KEPT BY DEALERSHIP 3/23/16. THERE IS NO RETURN DATE FOR THE COMPLETION OF REPAIR.POSSIBLY 8/16 BUT CANNOT VERIFY WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE IN. THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW. POSSIBLY THEIR THIRD QUARTER (THEY SAY). LOOKING FOR "REASONABLE" TIME FROM FROM FORD FOR REPAIR. OR DEFINITION OF "REASONABLE" TO DECIDE HOW TO PROCEED.

INTAKE FUEL OUTLET HAS A PROBLEM CAR JERKS TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED A LITTLE WHILE AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THIS TIME IT SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND THE WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. IF 2010-2012 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED, I DON'T GET WHY ONLY 2011-2012 ARE RECALLED. THANK GOD I WASN'T TOO FAR FROM HOME. I COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT REGARDLESS.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT SHIFT GEARS. IT CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 20 MPH AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT GO AT ALL.

LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AFTER DEFECTIVE AXLE SHAFT WORE SEAL DOWN. MULTIPLE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE.

NHTSA RECALL 15V-793 I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO PERFORM THIS REQUIRED SERVICE BUT DEALER CLAIMS THAT SINCE JANUARY 2016 THAT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. SERVICE MANAGER CLAIMS NO ONE HAS HAD THE ISSUE OF THE RECALL FIXED.I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM OF CRACKED GAS TANKS IS PRETTY SERIOUS. I WILL NOT PARK CAR IN GARAGE FOR FEAR OF FIRE. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO EFFORT ON FORDS PART TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE TO HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. IT'S REAL SAD AS A CONSUMER TO HAVE A FAULTY VEHICLE KNOWING A FIRE OR WORSE, AN EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR. I WAS TOLD IF I SHOULD SMELL GAS TO PARK THE VEHICLE. IF THAT OCCURS I NOW HAVE A USELESS VEHICLE WITH NO PARTS TO FIX????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I WAS TOLD TO CHECK BACK NEXT MONTH. COME ON !!! THIS IS REDICULOUS.THESE AUTO MANUFACTURERS NEED YOUR AGENCY TO LEAN ON THEM TO EXPEDITE AND SUPPORT THESE RECALLS IN A TIMELY FASHION. ........ESPECIALLY ONE THAT INVOLVES FUEL?! GEEZ. .........

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. UPDATED 07/13/16*LJ

AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND BACKING OUT, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE SIDE. FORD RECALLED THE NEXT 2 YEARS FOR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY HAVENT THEY RECALLED 2010 MODELS?! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 05/25/16*LJ *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, JAN. 2016 ABOUT A POSSIBLE FIRE WITH FUEL-LINE EMISSION??? CALLED THE 1800 NUMBER, AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR "SECOND LETTER," WHICH HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH "FINDING" THE PART TO CORRECT PROBLEM - IN THE MEANTIME, MY CAR STALLED TWICE, ONCE ON A LOCAL STREET, THE LAST TIME WHILE DRIVING ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY! HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH HARR FORD IN WORCESTER, MA FOR DIAGNOSTIC, BUT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR THERE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FIRST DEALER PERFORMED A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECK IN ADDITION TO THE RECALL REPAIR. WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEY CLEARED THE CODE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE DEALER PERFORMED A LEAK TEST ON THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV). THE DEALER DID NOT REMEDY THE RECALL. AFTER THE DEALER ALLEGEDLY COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER COVERAGE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD REMEDY THE FAILURE AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. PRIOR TO THE REPAIR, THE ONLY FAILURE EXPERIENCED WAS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY FLASHING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,168.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT MY IN CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THANK GOODNESS I DIDN'T HAVE A ACCIDENT. "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" INDICATION ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER AS WELL AND AN ADVANTRAC LIGHT.

WHILE MOVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY LOOSE VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSIST. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. ONCE WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE. ONCE WHEN DRIVING 50 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND ONE MORE TIME WHEN DRIVING 30 MPH DOWN A HIGHWAY. IN ALL OCCURRENCES, CYCLING THE KEY WOULD "RESET" THE SYSTEM AND BRING BACK ASSIST.

TAIL LIGHTS ARE TOO HOT CAUSING BURNING OF TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS, EXPLODING BULBS AND MELTING OF TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. TOXIC FUMES ARE BEING GENERATED BY THE MELTING PLASTIC. THE TAIL LIGHT/HEAD LIGHTS WERE ON AND WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING WE SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT BULB WAS BURNED AND MELTED INTO THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY, THE LIGHT SOCKET WAS BLACK FROM BURNING. NOW THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE TAIL LIGHT BULB INTO THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY DUE TO THE MELTED PLASTIC. SEE PHOTOS.

WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED 1 MONTH AGO FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. WELL, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. IT APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH OTHER FUSION OWNERS. THERE IS A RECALL WITH 2011-2012, BUT NOT WITH 2010 WHICH USES THE EXACT SAME STEERING RACK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. DO A FEW PEOPLE NEED TO DIE IN WRECKS FOR THIS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL?

WE WERE DRIVING TO PICK UP OUR DAUGHTER WHEN THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC CAME ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. WE LOST POWER STEERING TO THE CAR. LUCKILY MY MOM'S HOUSE WASN'T FAR FROM OUR HOUSE. WE GOT HOME SAFE AND CALLED THE NEXT DAY ABOUT REPAIRS AND FOUND OUT IT WAS OVER $1500. THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN'T AFFORD WITH A FAMILY. COME TO FIND OUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE GOTTEN IT FIXED BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS REOCCURRING. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS CAR. THIS WAS MY WIFE'S DREAM CAR AND NOW WE FIND OUT ITS NOT AS SAFE AS FORD CLAIMS IT IS.

SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM 2010 FORD FUSION SE 6SPD MANUAL, COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AT RANDOM TIMES, HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN 5 DAYS. WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AT 40 TO 45 MPH STRAIGHT OR TURNING AT 5 TO 10 MPH OR EVEN GOING UP A STRAIGHT, SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOSES POWER COMPLETELY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS. I TURN CAR OFF, YES IN THE MIDST OF TRAFFIC WITH OTHER DRIVERS HONKING HORNS AND PRAYING NO ONE RUNS INTO ME, WAIT 5 SECONDS AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, WHICH IT DOES RESTART, HOWEVER THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC ERROR MESSAGE REMAINS. WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS THE ERROR MESSAGE WILL NOT APPEAR. IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY, WHICH BY THE WAY IS GOING TO GET ME KILLED. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WORKING TWO JOBS MAKING THE TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IS DIFFICULT, HOWEVER I WILL BE TAKING IT TODAY (3/14/16). LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION FOR ANY DRIVER ON THE ROAD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WHEN THIS OCCURS. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL, FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION QUICKLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REPLACING A FLAT TIRE ON THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REPLACING THE TIRE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

ADVANTRAC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND ALSO POWER STEERING SERVICE NOW SIGNAL CAME ON. HAD NO POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING FAILURE SIGNAL HAD COME ON THREE OR FOUR TIMES IN THE PREVIOUS MONTHS. I WOULD TURN CAR OFF, TURN BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS TIME POWER STEERING NEVER CAME BACK ON. DROVE TO DEALER, THEY CHECKED SYSTEM AND CLEARED CODES AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING RACK FOR $1,850.00. I DECLINED. THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN BUT HE SAID IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. WHY?, WHEN?. MY CAR DRIVES FINE SO WHY DID I NEED A $1,850.00 REPAIR. THIS IS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. AM I DRIVING A COMPUTER WITH DEFECTIVE CHIPS OR A CAR WITH PARTS.
