MY FIANCE WENT TO START THE CARE TO GO TO WORK AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNINGS WERE ON. SHE COULDN'T EVEN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

AT FIRST, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP WITHIN MY DESIRED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND HAD A COUPLE NEAR COLLISION EXPERIENCES WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY DURING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD TO ADJUST MY BRAKING THOUGH I FEEL VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES THAT THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE WITH 2006-2012 FORD FUSIONS (MINE IS A 2011) AND IS DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITH THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO FORD TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY JUST REPORTED THAT THERE IS "DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH YOUR BRAKES" AND THEY "THINK" IT'S THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT BUT THEY "AREN'T SURE". NOW I'M LEFT WITH THE OPTION TO EITHER PAY THOUSANDS FOR WORK THEY AREN'T SURE WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS DEFECT.

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WHO'S GOING TO COLLEGE AND HAS TO DRIVE DOWN THE MOUNTAIN IN ORDER TO GET TO AND FROM COLLEGE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF SHE WAS GOING AROUND A TURN DOWN THE MOUNTAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE WENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. WHY DOES FORD MAKE THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. THIS IS A LIFE-OR-DEATH ISSUE.

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR STARTED JOLTING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST MY POWER STEERING. I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN TWO LIGHTS CAME ON.

THIS HAS HAPPENED STATIONARY, IN MOTION IN PARKING LOTS, PULLING OUT ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL THAT IT HAS PUT MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS IN DANGER.

TAKATA RECALL- HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED.

THIS VEHICLE IS MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER. SHE DROVE TO THE STORE AND BACK AND HAD NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT FEELING. SO I CHECKED IT OUT MYSELF AND SURE ENOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN OVER HALF WAY TO FLOOR BEFORE YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE SOMETIMES CLOSER TO THE FLOOR. SHE TOLD ME THAT THE ABS WAS TRIGGERED ON HER WAY TO THE STORE. WE HAD A BIG SNOW STORM A DAY BEFORE SO IT WAS SLICK OUT. THE ABS ONLY CLICKED FOR A SPLIT SECOND COMING TO A STOP LIGHT AND THAT'S WHEN THE BRAKES STARTED BEING SOFT AFTER THE ABS KICKED IN FOR A SPLIT SECOND. WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A FEW YEARS NOW BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 68,000 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 133,100 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD THE ABS TRIGGERED AND NOW THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWED UP. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND A VERY UNSAFE ONE. MY WIFE IS STARTING TO THINK THIS ISN'T A SAFE CAR FOR US HAVING OUR FIRST CHILD BEING IN IT AND MAKING TRIPS.

MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND STALLED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE ENGINE SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS PREFORMED ON TIME OR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE HAPPENED WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. FORD WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY. FROM WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORDS 3.5 LITER CYCLONE ENGINES. THE WATER PUMP FAILES RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. IF THIS PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES WOULD BE OPERABLE,POSSIBLY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION!, NOT TO MENTION A COSTLY REPAIR BILL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THIS MATTER

THE POWER STEERING ON MY CAR STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY, I WAS LOCAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR NEEDS A NEW POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION EVEN THOUGH TE CAR HAS LESS THAN 75K MILES ON IT.

WHILE TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION, I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. I HIT THE BRAKES AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY HIT ME. THE WORDS "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" APPEARED ON THE CONSOLE. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON RESTORED POWER STEERING. TWO DAYS LATER, WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE SAME ERROR APPEARED. AGAIN, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON RESTORED POWER STEERING. APPARENTLY I'M NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 15S18. I MAY BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED COVERAGE (15N01) BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT I WILL ONLY BE COVERED IF SOME CODE APPEARS, AND DIDN'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO CHECK FOR THREE WEEKS. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THROUGH FACEBOOK, BUT THE EMPLOYEE WAS UNHELPFUL, AND JUST DIRECTED ME TO DEAL WITH THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER CAN'T SEE ME.

AFTER MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY, HIS FUSION WAS GIVEN TO OUR GRANDSON. THE STEERING HAS NOW SEIZED UP AND HE IS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL AND REFERRED TO WARRANTY. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND IS A DANGER FOR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO TRY AND DRIVE. DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD.

ERROR CODE(S) P1450, P0456, FORD FUSION SE 2011, 3.0L V6 (4 VALVE). MY CAR WAS GETTING THE ERROR CODE P1450 (UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUME) THAT WOULD TURN ON THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED FOR A SHORT TIME.. THIS WENT ON FOR A SHORT TIME, I FOUND THAT BY USING THE GAS FUNNEL SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR THE VACUME COULD BE RELIEVED AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES IT STOPED COMING UP. NOW ,1 YEAR AND A FEW DAYS TO THE DATE, IT'S BACK AND I'M GETTING THE ERROR CODE P0456 (EVAP EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM LEAK VERY SMALL) WITH IT.IT MEANS, IN MY CASE, THAT THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER PERGE VALVE (CPV) HAS A SMALL LEAK THAT IS CAUSING A VACUME TO DEVELOP IN THE FUEL TANK. IF THIS HAPPENS ENOUGH TIMES IT CAN CAUSE THE FUEL TANK TO DEVELOP A CRACK, THIS HASN'T HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE THAT I'M AWARE OF YET (I'LL BE CHECKING ON THAT WHILE I CHANGE THE CPV),. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT A LEAKING GASOLINE TANK ISN'T A GOOD THING IN A LOT OF WAYS.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE HEATER/AC FAN MOTOR INOPERATIVE PROBLEMS. WITHOUT THE BLOWER FAN WORKING THERE IS NO DEFROST OR ABILITY TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD, RESULTING IN REDUCED OR NO VISIBILITY. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS AUG 18TH, 2016. MILEAGE WAS 36110. A HEATER CONTROL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $426.05. THE SECOND REPAIR WAS AUG 29TH, 2016. THE MILEAGE WAS 36251. THE BLOWER RESISTOR WIRING TO THE FAN ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED FOR $371.27. THE THIRD REPAIR WAS JUL 12TH, 2018. MILEAGE WAS 46594. THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SAME WIRING DONE AT THE SECOND REPAIR FOR $618.98. FORD WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE COST OF ANY REPAIRS. AFTER READING FORD FUSION FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE COMMON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WINDSHIELD CAN FOG UP QUICKLY IN WINTER OR SUMMER, AND ICING CAN BUILD UP IN WINTER CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO TRY TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL. I HAVE THE INVOICES TO SEND IF NEEDED BUT NO ACCESS TO A SCANNER AT THIS TIME.

POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. I DROVE TO TOWN FINE PARKED CAME OUT OF STORE AND THIS LIGHT WAS ON.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG RECALL STILL HAS NO AVAILABLE PARTS TO PERFORM THE REQUIRED SAFETY REPLACEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. I CHECKED MUCH EARLIER THIS YEAR AND THEY HAD NO REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE AND THIS IS STILL THE CASE, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ISSUED A RECALL AND THEY NEED TO GET THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE NEEDED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY COMPONENTS. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US CONSUMERS GET RESULTS.

AT ROUGHLY 100,000 MILES BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ON OCCASION FEEL SQUISHY. BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD INCREASE REQUIRING MORE EFFORT TO STOP. IT WAS INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST AND WOULD ONLY ACT UP ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH THE CAR IS A DAILY DRIVER, I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND DRIVE COUNTRY ROAD EVERY DAY APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES A DAY. THE MAJORITY OF THE MILES ON THE CAR ARE AT SPEED OF 55MPH OR MORE. VERY LITTLE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHICH REQUIRES EXCESSIVE BRAKE USE. NOW THE CAR HAS 105,000 MILES AND THE BRAKE TRAVEL IS ALWAYS LONG AND SQUISHY. THEY NEVER FEEL SOLID LIKE THEY USE TO. STOPPING POWER IS STILL STRONG WHEN YOU STAND ON THEM. ANTI LOCKS STILL WORK AS I'VE STOOD ON THE BRAKES IN SLICK WEATHER AND CAN HERE THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM CHATTER AND FEEL THE PEDAL PULSE. SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING AFTER GOOGLING IT SO I WANTED TO THROW IN MY SITUATION.

POWER STEERING FAULT LIGHT CAME ON WHEN STARTED, POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS. RESTARTED IT WORKED, COUPLE DAYS LATER DID THE SAME THING.. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE, MAY HAPPEN ON HIGHWAY. 7

WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON I PARK MY CAR CAME OUT AN HOUR LATER AND THE SAME THING CAN'T MOVE THE WHEEL
