2012 Ford Fusion complaints

I HAVE LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING AND SYSTEM DEFAULTS TO MANUAL STEERING MODE. ERROR CODE C1277 IS THE ERROR CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. NOW EVERY TIME WE DRIVE OUR CAR WE HAVE TO DO MANUAL STEERING. FORD IS REFUSING TO FIX MY VEHICLE SINCE IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I AM REQUESTING THAT MY VEHICLE BE PUT ON THE RECALL LIST AS I AM HAVING THE EXACT ISSUES OTHERS HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT FOR POWER STEERING ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT BEFORE "POWER NEEDS CHECKING' APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER ASSIST WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. SKYLINE FORD (2510 COMMERCIAL ST SE, SALEM, OR) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000(STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

LAST WEEK I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE. BEFORE I CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT, I CHECKED THE RECALL ON LINE AND NOTICED THE STEERING IS ALSO BEING RECALLED. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING, LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF ON MY DASHBOARD. THE STEERING AND TSC LIGHTS WERE BLINKING AND RINGING. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO! I READ THE DASHBOARD WHICH SAID CHECK MY POWER STEERING FLUID, THER IS NO FLUID WELL??? I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD ' WE WILL FIX THE AIRBAG, BUT HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUES, MY CAR HAS NO RECALL FOR THAT' I TOLD THEM I WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT THE RECALL NOTICE, AND SINCE I WASN'T NOTIFIED, THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I TOLD HER I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT THE CAR WON'T STEER, SHE TOLD ME TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. I HAVE PURCHASED A 1990 BRONCO I, A 1999 FORD RANGER AND A 2007 ESCAPE FROM THIS SAME DEALER. THESE VEHICLES HAVE AS FOLLOWS: 660K,588K AND 290K MILES ON THEM. MY RANGER STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL MUFFLER. IS THIS THE WAY I SHOULD BE TREATED. IF THE CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR STEERING, WHICH YOU CAN EASILY SEE FROM THE TIRE WEAR, THAN WHY DOESN'T FORD STAND UP AND REPAIR IT, SINCE THERE IS A RECALL. I COULD FIX IT MYSELF, BUT FORD HAS BLOCKED THE COMPUTER USAGE, DO I NEED TO BYPASS THAT ALSO. I'M A SIMPLE MAN WHO LOVES HIS FORDS. I BRAG CONSTANTLY ABOUT MY VEHICLES. I BRAG CONSTANTLY ABOUT MY DEALER. I FEEL BETRAYED!!!

TRANSMISSION HAS DELAYED GEAR SHIFTING, GEAR SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE REVS WITHOUT THE CAR ACCELERATING. TO PUT IT SIMPLY THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. TWICE!

CAR SUDDENLY LOSES ENGINE POWER (HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE APRIL 2019) AND ON THE HIGHWAY JUST STARTS COASTING RAPIDLY SLOWING DOWN (LIKE IT IS ONLY USING BATTERY POWER). A WARNING LIGHT ALSO COME ON (A RED TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK IN THE MIDDLE) WITH THE WORDS "STOP SAFELY NOW" (SEE IMAGE). IN THE 5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH IN THE CITY, THE REMAINING TIMES WERE ALL AT 50-65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. EACH TIME, THERE WAS NO TURNING, BREAKING OR ACTIVATING ANY OTHER SYSTEM IN THE CAR (RADIO, CRUISE CONTROL ETC). IN EACH CASE, WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR WAS RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED (TYPICALLY EVERY 1-2 MONTHS EXCEPT THIS MONTH WHERE IT HAPPENED TWO DAYS IN A ROW).WHILE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IS, THERE ARE DOZENS OF REPORTS FROM OTHERS REPORTING A SIMILAR PROBLEM, SOME OF WHICH THEY THOUGHT WAS RELATED TO A PROBLEM WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK SENSOR (DPFE) AT FAULT SOME OF TIME, AND INCORRECTLY MEASURING EXHAUST GAS RE-CIRCULATION (EGR) PRESSURE (REPAIR PAL WEBSIE FOR EXAMPLE). THE WEB IS FULL OF THESE COMPLAINTS BUT WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO FORD, THEY CLAIM THAT THIS HAS NEVER BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND DROVE IT FOR A FEW MILES, DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM AND SO SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. I DON'T WANT TO LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CARE ANYMORE BECAUSE I AM WORRIED OF HER HAVING AN ACCIDENT IF SHE IS DRIVING ON THE H

A WEEK AGO I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD JUST HAD A BELT REPLACED AND THOUGHT FLUID LEAKED AND WAS BURNING OFF, CHECKED UNDER MY HOOD AND COULDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. A FEW DAYS LATER MY BOSS TOLD ME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. I HAD JUST CHANGED IT A MONTH OR SO AGO, BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT MY LIGHT, THE BULB WAS BLACK, THE BASE YOU PLUG IT INTO IS BURNT AND THE PLASTIC ON THE ASSEMBLY IS MELTING. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL YET? I SEE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ON HERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

MY POWER STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING. PARKED IT FOR THE DAY AND WHEN I LATER RETURNED TO MY CAR, THE WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. THE COST OF REPAIR IS TOO EXPENSIVE. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH ONLY A CERTAIN MODEL OF THE FUSION AND MANY DIFFERENT MODES OF FUSIONS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO AFFECT FOR THIS PROBLEM! YOU HAVE MANY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS!!

POWER STEERING FAILURE /SERVICE ADVANCETRACE

MY CAR WAS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO TURN .NOW THE POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT AND ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT SEEMS TO FIX IT. IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES TO MY VEHICLE IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR MY YEAR/MODEL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT FORD SAYS MY CAR ISNT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS MADE 1 MONTH AFTER AFFECTED VEHICLES.

I STOPPED TO GET GAS, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED ROLLING FORWARD AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT. I LEAPED BACK IN AND HIT THE BRAKE AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T START BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERING THAT THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK. I WENT INTO THE GEAR SHIFT AREA BY PULLING OFF THE CENTER CONSOLE AND MANUALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL SO I COULD START THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THAT SIMILAR ISSUES WERE FOUND IN 2013 AND NEWER FORD FUSIONS AND THEY WERE RECALLED. I'M THINKING THE 2012 YEAR FORD FUSION SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. LIGHTS FLICKERED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THEN SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ACROSS DASHBOARD. DROVE HOME AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON SAME MESSAGES APPEARED AND STEERING WHEEL IS TOO HARD TO TURN THEREFORE UNABLE TO DRIVE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2012 FORD FUSION AT 55 MILES AN HOUR ON HWY 10 AND THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT AND LOST POWER STEERING HAD TO DITCH IT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STEER IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY.

BOTH PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLES BROKE. COULD NOT OPEN CAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. HAD TO OPEN WINDOW TO OPEN DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. DEALER SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND PAID TO HAVE BOTH ASSEMBLY'S REPLACED.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CAN CAN BREAK INTERNALLY WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES SUCH AS A HOT SUMMER DAY ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE PLASTIC USED OFF-GASES AND LOSES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OVER TIME UNFIL FAILURE OCCURS POTENTIALLY TRAPPING A PERSON WHO IS UNABLE TO REACH THE EXTERIOR HANDLE IN THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS IS A PATTERN OF HAPPENINGS WITH THE 2012 FORD FUSION DUE TO A CHANGE BY FORD IN DOOR HANDLE CONSTRUCTION. REPAIRS ARE OFTEN INEFFECTIVE AS IT IS REPLACED WITH A SIMILAR PART THAT FAILS IN THE SAME MANNER.
