2010 Ford Fusion complaints

Driving down the highway and the electric steering went out and about crashed due to not being able to turn.

Brakes are exhibiting issues with long brake pedal travel and sponginess. This has started within the last few weeks where it is off and on but is continuous now. The dealer has the vehicle and diagnosed it as an issue with the HCU or ABS system. My mom was driving it and had difficulty stopping the vehicle due to long brake pedal travel. I saw there was a previous recall 19S54 on the same year model that was produced at the same plant. However Ford will not fix it since the production date was two months after the original affected date. The campaign ended with vehicles produced up to July. Hers was produced in September. Since the dates were not the same they would not cover it even if it was the exact same issue on the recall.

On occasion, the brake pedal goes to the floor and car does not stop. Red triangle warning light comes on. Parking brake is needed to stop car. I have taken it to ford dealer, and problem was not repeated during their test drive.

After going over a rough patch of pavement on the road, I felt the brakes give out and completely reach the floor almost as if there was no pressure in the pump. Now, the brakes go all the way down when trying to brake and it still stops the car but it shouldn't do that. I've read others online had the same issue with the brakes.

Drivers airbag recall not completed

I was driving down the highway interstate 24 with kids in the car around the curls me marker 159 and my steering no warning went out completely hard as hell to turn traffic I spun out trying to over correct it damanage my front clip aka bumper all to hell I saw this complaint when I was searching recalls and common problems with my branded car what do I do for wants an arm and a leg I can't afford to fix the power steering was there a recall on that part or what ever came out of the 550 complaints

Out of nowhere, my brakes malfunctioned with the pedal sinking low to the floor. Several lights went off including check brake system, traction control and ABS. This issue seems to be exactly related to a current recall involving ABS on 2010 Fusions but doesn't appear to apply to the Hybrid model. The issue is intermittent.

The power steering went out without warning. Other vehicles had a recall for this concern but this vehicle is not covered by that recall.

Manufacturer has failed to fix safety recall notice 21S12 / SHTSA Recall 21V-158 in a timely manner. The recall date was March of 2021, a notice was received in April 2021. This issue is still outstanding with no repair in the imminent future. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle, but have no other options but to continue to drive it.

It's been over a year since I was notified of a safety recall in which the driver's side airbag could explode and injure or kill myself or my passengers, yet there is no fix available, and I have not been offered a safe car to drive in. Instead my passengers and I are in danger daily.

The manufacturer has not supplied a repair part for a defective airbag that could kill me or my children as this is one of our primary vehicles. It has been 1.5 years since the recall, this needs to be remedied more quickly! We have high humidity here, which makes it even more likely to explode. Please put pressure on Ford to fix this issue.

The breaks pedal on my Fusion just goes straight to the floor and can barely stop the car when its in drive and not giving any gas. A recall was issued on this model of a car but my car wasnt included for some reason. I am having the same issue with the ABS as the recall.

I believed my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid MFG date: 08/09 fall under Recall NHTSA 19V904000. However, I did not receive any letter notification and/ or notice. I called the dealership and they’re asking for $200 something for diagnose then go from there. Is there anyway can confirm that my car under the recall so I get fix without any charge? I’m leaving on budget, cannot afford on anything else. Please find the attached pictures.

I was driving down the road the other day in my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid and my brakes suddenly didn't work. I got the big red flashing message on the dashboard to check the braking system. I had to really stomp on the brake pedal to get it to stop. Very concerning. I had a mechanic come to me and first checked the brake fluid which was still full. But he said it was thicker than it should be, gel like. He then ran the computer scan on it and found that the brake control system showed a fault indicating a valve stopped working or was stuck open or something. He checked it for an open recall suspecting it would be covered by the Ford 19S54 recall and only found some airbag recall issue. But the recall, that was issued just a few years ago, didn't come up because apparently it only covered vehicles made up through July 2009. Mine was made in I think November 2009. Not that many months apart and given that it exhibited the EXACT same behavior as the recall indicates, it seems it really should be extended to cover my car.

This vehicle has an open recall for the drivers side airbag that Ford has failed to remedy in a timely manner

The power steering went out on this vehicle and after research I found that other years have had recalls on it. Although this year was not in the recall it still uses the same parts

Hello, Around 3 years ago, I found out that Ford had a recall on 2010 Fusion for the brakes but my VIN # was not included. About a year and a half ago, I took my car to the shop because my brakes and rotors needed replaced. The mechanic called me to say even though they were all replaced, i still have to push the pedal to floor to stop but there was a recall on your make and model and to contact Ford. I then told him that when I checked a few years ago, it did not qualify. He then called Ford himself and was told the same thing. It cost us almost $900 to repair. Now only a little over a year later, the brakes are very bad and I’m asking that you please relook at VIN #’s. It scared me so bad today when I had to suddenly stop and all I heard was grinding and almost rear ended the car in front of me. It made me want to email you to find out if my car can fixed. This problem also causes wear and tear to happen faster because I should not have to replace them already after a short this period of time. Can you please re evaluate my car for the recall and also assistance with repairing the brakes and rotors? I do have the receipt from a licensed shop showing the repair I did already I can send too. Please advise. Thank you so much in advance for your time and help. I truly appreciate it!!

While driving 45mph on a smooth road, the tire sidewall blew out. Tire torn in several places. No sign of any contributing damage that could have caused the problem, nor was there a pothole or road debris. Tires are from 2019, and had 25,000 miles of use.

Notified of recall 21V-158 for the driver side airbag in April 2021. It has been over a year and there is still no remedy. I do not consider this to be resolved in a timely manner. Does NHTSA have a definition of "timely manner" that is imposed on manufactures to complete repairs associated with safety recalls? What is being done by NHTSA and Ford to complete the repairs needed to comply with the recall?

I received a safety recall (NHTSA Recall 21V-158) regarding my 2010 Ford Fusion in April 2021 for an issue with the driver airbag inflator. This recall has still not been addressed by Ford, and I have not received any additional information from them regarding the status of the recall since April 2021. Consumer's wife will no longer be using the SRX, dangerous vehicle. Speaking to their attorney.

2010 model year electric power assisted steering goes out at low speed when making turns, similar to same issue recalled for 2011-2012 model years. The previous recall needs to be expanded to include 2010 model year.

Power steering just quit while driving. Scared the heck out of me. Turned car off and started again and it went away for a few minutes and then quit again.

Complete power steering went out. vehicle light says service power steering check.vehicle not drivable can possibly lock- up when operating vehicle and its very dangerous.

I was driving and tried to stop and all my light came on dealing with my breaks. I replaced the brakes pads and that didn’t work. So I took it to the shop and they said that my ABS is out

The NHTSA Recall 21V-158 has been outstanding for more than a year. The letter I received from Ford stated that "parts are anticipated to be available in the third quarter of 2021" which is now more than six months ago. I don't want to lose an eye or be killed by my airbag. Yet, the timeliness of the repair by Ford fails to show any urgency.
