2011 Ford Fusion complaints

I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY, PARKED 2011 FORD FUSION AND THEN SHUT VEHICLE OFF. I RETURNED, STARTED VEHICLE, WENT TO START DRIVING MY VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND LISTED THAT THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STEERING: ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM FAILURE (15V340000 OR 15S18). I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WILL ATTACH QUOTE WHICH THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS EXACTLY WHAT FORD'S RECOMMENDATION WAS. HOWEVER MY CAR DOESN'T FALL INTO THE CORRECT DATE FOR THIS RECALL, I AM HAPPY THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING 75MPH DOWN INSTERSTATE 70 IN WHEELING, WV OR DRIVING UP TO WEST LIBERTY, WV WHERE I WORK. EITHER COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT FOR ME, MY KIDS AND POTENTIALLY OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. THE CAR HAS ONLY 73,000 MILES ON IT ROUGHLY AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE STEERING ASSIST ERROR CODE CAME ON. THE RECALL SAYS FOR 2011 FORD FUSION . HOW DO I FIND OUT THE PART # THAT IS FAULTY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. HOW DO THEY KNOW EVERY PART THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON THAT CAR. IT IS AN ISSUE AND THEY SAY MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST????

2011 FORD FUSION AFTER STARTING FROM COLD START THE CAR WILL NOT STEER. IT IS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES BUT THAT POWERSTEERING ASSIST FAILURE DIDNT COME UNTIL LAST WEEK. WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT NOT NOT TURNED EXTREME LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK IN STRAIGHT POSITION. NOT ABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL RIGHT OR LEFT. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES THAT I CAN RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 24K IN AUG 2016. THE CAR NOW HAS 64K AND SAT FOR @8MOS LAST YEAR DUE TO THE TOKATA RECALL.I SEE A RECALL BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHER 2011 FORD FUSIONS RECALL 422,814 MODEL YEAR 2011 TO 2013 FUSION, FLEX AND LINCOLN MKS AND MKT, MODEL YEAR 2011 TO 2012 LINCOLN MKZ AND 2011 MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES FOR A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO STEERING DIFFICULTIES. THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THE ISSUE ' AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE STEERING GEAR ' CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING. IF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS, THE SYSTEM DEFAULTS TO MANUAL STEERING MODE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOURTH TIME IT HAPPENED AT WORK AND VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEEL WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WOULD RANDOMLY OCCUR ON START UP. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE RESOLVED THIS UNTIL YESTERDAY IT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT WENT OUT AT 55 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND GET IT HOME. NO AMOUNTING OF RESTARTING SOLVES THIS ANYMORE. IT SEEMS A TON OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS HAPPEN AT A WIDE RANGE OF MILEAGES.

IN THE MORNING I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WAS SO HARD TO MOVE, STARTED GETTING ERROR MESSAGES "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "ADVANCETRAC". THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHERE I ALWAYS PARK IT ON THE CITY STREET. I CAN'T MAKE A NORMAL TURN WITHOUT BACK UP SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE A GOOD TURN. HAVE TO USE 2 HANDS TO TURN AND CURVES CAN'T MAKE IT, HAVE TO SLOW DOWN COMPLETELY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT SAID IT WAS NOT FIXABLE DUE TO MILAGE.

IN AUGUST 2016, I CRANKED MY CAR (A 2011 FORD FUSION HYBRID) IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, BRAKE FAILURE SYSTEM, AND ABS LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH. I TRIED TO BACK OUT AND NOTCIED THE ELECTRIC BREAK WERE NOT WORKING AND THE BREAK PEDDLE WAS TO THE FLOOR AND DIFFICULT TO PRESS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALER. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBELM. THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE PROBELM WAS RESOLVED ON ITS OWN. IN AUGUST 2019, THIS PROBELM HAPPENED AGAIN. I CRANKED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND NOTICED THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS FROM 3 YEARS AGO WERE ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME, BUT THE BRAKES WERE NOT VERY RESPONSIVE AND WERE SIGNIFICIANTLY FURTHER DOWN THAN USUAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY "RESET THE SYSTEM" AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE ISSUE REOCCURED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO RELSOVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 4 DAYS THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL. ON OCTOBER 20, 2019 THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN AND THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURING. THE CAR IS DRIVABLE, BUT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. IT COULD NOT COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP IF NEEDED AND I LIVE ON A HIGHWAY WHERE PEOPLE OFTEN PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME. IN 2009, FORD ISSUED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR FUSION HYBRIDS. IT SEEMS LATER HYBRID MODELS ALSO NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE READ THAT REPLACING THE BRAKES OR ABS CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT RESLOVE THE PROBELM. IT IS AN ISSUE WIT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND DROVE OFF THE ROAD. THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE GROUND ABRUPTLY AND WAS DAMAGED. THE DRIVER'S NECK WAS INJURED, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THEIR HOME WHERE IT LATER FAILED TO RESTART. SONORA FORD (LOCATED AT 13254 MONO WAY, SONORA, CA 95370, 209-532-5593) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND VERIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT'S FATHER WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TAYLOR FORD OF WAYNESVILLE (828-452-5111, LOCATED AT 524 RUSS AVE, WAYNESVILLE, NC 28786) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE AIR BAGS AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT. THE STEERING WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO STEERING RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON FOR A COUPLE MONTHS RANDOMLY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN IT CLEARED THE ERROR AND THE STERRING BECAME EASY. AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF THIS WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THE ERROR CAME AGAIN ALONG WITH ADVANCETRAC ERROR AND THE STEERING IS GONE AND THE ERRORS CODES STAY. FORD SAID THE STEERING GEAR NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND IT'S COSTING ME $2,000 TO FIX. NOT SURE WHY IT'S NOT UNDER RECALL SINCE IT'S THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHERS AND IT ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES ON IT. $2,000 IS A TON OF MONEY.

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO JERK. SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPPENED, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED A NOTICE THAT SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. THE TCS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING.

I HAVE PURCHASED FORD FUSION AND FORD FAILED TO HONOR 2011 FORD FUSION NHTSA RECALL ON STEERING, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, BY FALSELY CLAIMING THAT SOME DAMAGE WAS PREVENTING THEM TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY STEERING, YET FAILED TO DEMONSTRATE TO DAMAGE.

LEFT FRONT WHEEL STUD BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY. DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR HOW IT HAPPENED. WENT TO GET WHEELS ROTATED AND FOUND BROKEN STUD.

POWER STEERING TO THIS CAR WENT ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS . I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DONE ON THIS AS I AM NOT PAYING 1800 ON THIS PART WHEN IT ISN'T JUST MY CAR.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DAVIS FORD SALES INC. (904 W MAIN ST, FULTON, MS 38843, (662) 862-3711) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY MILEAGE LIMIT; THEREFORE, THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET MAKING A SLIGHT TURN MY FORD FUSION 2011 EXPERIENCED FULL ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE 4 YEARS AGO IN DEC. 2015 (46,000 ODOMETER) WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING UNIT (PSCM) AND HAD IT REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE $1800 PART TO HAVE TO REPLACE A SECOND TIME (74,000 ODOMETER). CONTACTED THE FORD SERVICE LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 11 FUSION ON A NARROW ROAD AND PULLED OVER INTO LOOSE GRAVEL WHILE BRAKING AND THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKES SEEMED FINE, THEN I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AGAIN AND THE PEDAL HAS NEVER CAME BACK. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I FEAR THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BEFORE FORD IS FORCED TO ENACT A RECALL. PLEASE HELP US! SINCERELY, FED UP. *TR

THIS CARS BEEN RECALLED : MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER :19S01 I DIDN'T GET A LETTER , EMAIL NO KIND OF NOTIFICATION ABOUT IT . HAD TO FIND OUT BY A FRIEND

THIS CAR HAS BEEN CARRIED IN TWICE FOR LOSING POWER STEERING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 09/28/19 WHERE AN ACCIDENT WAS INVOLVED. POWER STEERING WAS LOST WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. COULD NOT PULL CODES OFF COMPUTER AS POWER WAS LOST BY ACCIDENT.NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED NOR DID SEAT BELT ENGAGE

THE ABS MODULE NOT WORKING AND THE BRAKE FOOT SO SOFT THERE IS NO PRESSURE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALMOST HOME WHEN A 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTY' NOTIFICATION APPEARED IN THE DASH. AS I APPROACHED MY DRIVEWAY I REALIZED I COULD BARLEY TURN TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY.

DROVE AT 25 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND HESITATED ON ACCELERATION. AT THIS TIME A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSS POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE CAR MOVED AT 10 MILES/HOUR. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS! I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE EARLY MORNING, NOT MANY TRAFFI. I COULD HAVE IN CAR ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENED IN A RUSH HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO FORD DELLER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO GET ALL OF THERE FORD FUSIONS OFF OF THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE STEERING LOCKED UP , I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND EASED MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER NOT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS COMING HOME I TURNED ONTO MY STREET AND BEFORE I COULD LINE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO IT'S PROPER POSITION IT LOCKED UP AGAIN. KNOWING THAT IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC PUMP I AUTOMATICALLY CHECKED THE FUSE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I HAD IT TOWED TO HAVE IT PUT ON A MACHINE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY PUMP AND I WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON THEY HAD TALKED TO ABOUT THIS. SO I'M MAKING THIS CONTACT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOME WEARING OUT OF A PART OVER TIME, THIS IS A PART THAT 'NEEDED TO BE RECALLED AND/OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BEFORE IT BECOMES A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT. I FILE THIS COMPLAINT NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT MAY HAVE THIS SAME MALFUNCTION. NOT ONLY THOSE WITH VEHICLES BUT THE PEDESTRIANS YOUNG AND OLD WHO ARE PUT IN HARMS WAY. AS A SUGGESTION TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY BEFORE THEIR FOCUS IS JUST HOW MANY VEHICLES WE CAN PUT OUT AND IN RETURN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING MADE AT THE FULL SUBJECTION OF INNOCENT HARD WORKING PEOPLE. IT'S NOT RIGHT AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE VERY SOON. TO THIS DAY I HAVE TO LEAVE A VEHICLE PARKED THAT IS BEING PAID AND INSURED WHICH IS NOT FAIR TO ME AND I ASK THAT I'M CONTACTED SOON TO RESOLVE THIS MOST SERIOUS MATTER.

I'M DEALING W/THE SAME THING EVERYONE ELSE IS. FORD KNOWS THE STEERING IS BAD, REPLACES IT & THEN SAYS IT'S ONLY VALID FOR ONE YEAR. NOW, MINE HAS GONE OUT THE SECOND TIME & THEY WILL DO NOTHING. I NEARLY WRECKED MY CAR, W/MY CHILD IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEERING IS RECALLED FOR MY SAME MODEL & YEAR. FORD SAYS MY VIN IS NOT COVERED, SURPRISE!

LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE AN ARM & A LEG. I'VE READ MANY REVIEWS IF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE.

SEVERAL DAYS LATER, POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY SHORTLY AFTER STARTING WHILE IN A PARKING LOT. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER PARKED CAR WHEN I SUDDENLY COULD NOT TURN.

UPON RESEARCH, 400,000+ FORD FUSION 2011'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED OVER THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE - YET IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE'S VIN #S MATCH WITH THE RECALLED VEHICLES. YET AGAIN, OVER 2000+ RECENT COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE AS WELL! THIS IS RIDICULOUS - ALMOST 2 YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON MY LOAN AND MY VEHICLE DOESN'T MATCH THE VIN FOR THE RECALL - WHEN OBVIOUSLY, YES IT [XXX] WELL DOES! I HAD TO CALL FOR HELP BECAUSE I'M TOO PREGNANT TO FORCEFULLY MANHANDLE THE WHEEL THAT BARELY TURNS 2 INCHES TO EITHER SIDE, TO TRY AND STEER A VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING! LUCKILY WE HAD FAMILY IN FROM OUT OF TOWN WHO EVACUATED FROM THE BEACH THAT COULD HELP US GET THE CAR HOME. WOULD FORD BE PAYING FOR MY ACCIDENT AND INJURIES TO POTENTIALLY 2 BECAUSE, AGAIN I'M PREGNANT - AND THEN ANYONE ELSE I COULD HAVE HIT ON MY EXIT!
