2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I AM TRADING THIS CAR IN TODAY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN OVER 9 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL, JUNE 1, 2016, AND I'M TIRED OF MAKING MY HUSBAND SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE I AM FEARFUL OF THE DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I WAS NOT GIVEN FULL VALUE FOR MY TRADE BECAUSE THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED 90 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE ERROR CODE WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

THE SAME RECALL FOR OTHER FORD MODELS IN 2015 REGARDING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH DESCRIBES EXACTLY THE SAME DEFECT FOR MY VEHICLE ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR HANDLE TO LET MYSELF OUT, THE DOOR HANDLE CORNER WHERE THE TENSION TO OPEN DOOR CHIPPED. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION AT THE TIME BECAUSE IT WAS STILL ABLE TO OPEN; HOWEVER, ON 3-23-17 AT ABOUT 9AM THE DOOR HANDLE TENSION WAS LOST ALL TOGETHER SO I WAS ACTUALLY LOCKED IN CAR WHILE PARKED. I SEARCHED THROUGH INTERNET TO FIND IF THIS ISSUE HAS REPEATED FOR OTHER FORD OWNERS, BUT ONLY FOUND FORD TAURUS, MKS, FIESTA AND 2011 FORWARD. WHAT OF THE 2010 FORD FUSION WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE DOOR HANDLE AS DESCRIBED? FORTUNATELY OR UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED SO THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS. HOPING FORD WOULD EXPAND THE RECALL TO 2010 FORD FUSIONS SO TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS HAPPENING. THANK YOU!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND THE POWER STEERING RACK, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
