2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY HAD IT RESET, FAILED AGAIN HAD IT REPLACED. $1700 IN REPAIRS NOW SITTING AT FORD IN QUINCY IL AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PICK IT UP.

DURING MY NORMAL DAILY COMMUTE I EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING AND UNANNOUNCED LOSS OF BREAKING POWER. I WAS SIMPLY COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LOST TOTAL BREAK RESPONSE. I NARROWLY MISSED CAUSING A ACCIDENT WITH STOPPED TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING RESPONSIBLY IN A LIGHT DRIZZLE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM TOLD THE ABS MODULE SENSED LOSS OF TRACTION IN AT LEAST ONE TIRE SO IT KICKED ON. THIS ONLY MADE THE SITUATION A PANIC STOP. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BREAKING POWER WAS ONLY ABOUT 10% OF THE NORMAL FEEL. AFTER THIS EVENT THE BREAKS NEVER REGAINED THEIR POWER AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO SERVICE. THE SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THIS IS SOMEWHAT COMMON AND THEY COULD FIX THE ISSUE, $1600 LATER I HAVE A NEW ABS MODULE AND THE BREAKS WORKS BETTER BUT NOT 100% OF WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES SINCE THIS EVENT AND ALL ARE THE SAME ISSUE. THE EVENT WAS SUCH A UNANNOUNCED AND TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE I WILL BE SELLING THE CAR. I AM A 35, PERFECT DRIVING RECORD, DRIVE 20K MILES+ EVERY YEAR AND NEVER EXPERIENCED A SITUATION LIKE THIS WHERE I WAS HELPLESS. AND KNOWING THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM IS APPALLING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DETECTED A FUEL ODOR AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOP PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

'ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST FAULT' WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, STEERING LOCKS UP AND BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN, HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS, WHILE TURNING AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. HAVE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO RESET SYSTEM. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. HAVE HAD ISSUE FOR 3 YEARS NOW.

THE SERVICE POWER STEERING INDICATOR CAME ON WHEN THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE CODE IT SAID IT NEEDED A STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL A POWER STEERING ANGLE SENSOR IS NOT APPLICABLE SO THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW CLOCK SPRING I ORDERED THE NEW CLOCK SPRING AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NO POWER STEERING WHATSOEVER VERY HARD TO TURN IT JUST HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND I NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BEING A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES AND MODELS WITH CURRENT AND NEWER YEARS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. BORGMAN FORD MAZDA (LOCATED AT 3150 28TH ST SW, GRANDVILLE, MI 49418, (616) 534-7651) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ONCE CAR WAS TURNED ON "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE PARKED. TURNED OFF THE CAR, THEN BACK ON AND SAME MESSAGE WAS SHOWN. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE DOOR HANDLE LOCKING SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE ON MY 2010 FORD FUSTION MY CAR WAS STATIONARY IN A GARAGE. I UNLOCKED DRIVER DOOR, SAT IN DRIVER SEAT AND SUDDENLY DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN AND I'M UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER WINDOW IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR NO LONGER LOCKS EITHER. BROUGHT CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE SO I HAD TO PAY 182.45$ TO GET MY DOOR LATCH FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO PARK AND LOCK MY CAR. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART. NOT IMPRESSED WITH FORD AT THE MOMENT.

PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALL AND LOST AIR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE TIRES. I AM TRYING TO GET THIS RECTIFIED WITH THE TIRE DISTRIBUTOR, BUT AT THIS POINT NO LUCK.

I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. AS I WAS DRIVING, IT BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER THE CAR. WITHOUT WARNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND HAS BEEN OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, IT IS VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS THERE IS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR MODEL. I HAD JUST HAD THE AIR BAG REPLACED AND WAS HOPING TO HAVE NO MORE PROBLEMS IT.
