2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

DRIVING LOCALLY, WRENCH AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON SUDDENLY. WHEN I GOT SHORT WAYS TO STORE, TURNED ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED, LIGHTS GONE - THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. PROCEED TO DRIVE HOME TO CONTACT FORD, BOTH LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN, CAR BEGINS DECLERATING WITH NO WARNING, NO ACTION ON ACCELERATOR, CAR SLOWS (I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS CALLED LIMPING) AND I PULLED OF HIGHWAY AND GET TO PARKING LOT. CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALER. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT PROBLEM WAS REPLACED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD, ONLY 43,700 MILES. AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR AS THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN - WHAT IF I'M IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGH SPEEDS. CAN'T BELIEVE FORD WAS ABLE TO AVOID A RECALL --- THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!!!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. A LOCAL PENSKE FORD DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT 877-736-8037 AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND ADVANCETRAC INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTER PARKING, EXITING, AND RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHICH COMPONENT HAD FAILED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DECLINED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ELKINS FORDLAND (696 BEVERLY PIKE, ELKINS, WV 26241) AND WAS AWAITING REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ONE DAY I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO OUT AND THE WARNING POPPED UP SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING FAILURE. I TURNED MY CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT WAS FIXED. THE NEXT DAY IT POPPED UP WITH THE SAME THINGS, BUT THIS TIME TURNING IT OFF DID NOT FIX THE POWER STEERING. IT HAS LEFT ME UNABLE TO USE MY CAR FOR A WHILE, BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. THANK GOSH THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I READ MANY STORIES ABOUT IT HAPPENING WHILE OTHERS WHERE DRIVING. PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE FORD...

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL - REPLACEMENT TAKING WAY TOO LONG - OVER ONE AND A HALF YEARS! I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES, CA 91607 PLEASE HELP. (NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET.)

MESSAGE SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW I WAS PARKED AT A RESTAURANT AND HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.

I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST HIT THE WALL AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY! THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE CAME ON AND HAS NOT GONE OFF. I HAVE TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL.

I START THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT IMMEDIATELY WARNS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE STEERING APPEARED TO WORK. VERY FRIGHTENING DRIVE HOME. LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. ALSO SAW FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR MODEL YEARS EXCEPT 2010 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND INCLUDED IN THE SAME RECALL.
