2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

FORD SENT A RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER 2016, I HAVE WAITING 2 MONTHS AND HAVE CONTACTED 2 DEALERSHIPS. NO ONE WAS HAS THE PARTS TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. NEITHER DO THEY HAVE A DATE OF EXPECTANCY. JEOPARDIZING BOTH MY SAFETY/LIFE AS WELL AS MY CHILD. I CALLED AROUND IN JANUARY AND STILL HAVE NOT FOUND ANYONE TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF WHEN. THE RECALL NUMBERS ARE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V384 AND FORD RECALL NUMBER 16S26. I CAN BE CONTACTED AT [XXX]. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/10/17*LJ UPDATED 12/7/2017*JS *CN

"SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. STEERING EVENTUALLY BECAME HARDER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN PARKED TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. LIGHT SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCTRAC" ALSO CAME ON

LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ADVANCE TRAC AT HIGHWAY SPEED. RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE STEERING STOPPED MOVING AND AN ERROR WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH BOARD "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". LUCKILY I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I SWITCHED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED ABD THE ERROR WENT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THEN A DAY LATER, I WAS TRYING TO START THE CAR AND SAME THING HAPPENED. ONLY THIS TIME EVEN SWITCHING OFF AND ON THE CAR. AND THE STREERING WONT MOVE AT ALL. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON THE ROAD. IT IS SCARY TO HAVE THE STEEERING LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ACCORDING TO THE AAA REPAIR FACILITY (WHOM I TRUST), THE HYDRAULIC FLUID WITHIN MY 2010 FORD FUSION'S ELECTRIC RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY (A.K.A., THE STEERING GEAR) HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE UNIT, MOST LIKELY THE RESULT OF FAULTY SEALS. THEY INDICATE THAT THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE EXISTING UNIT THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN THE ABRUPT AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POSING A POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC RISK OF LIFE AND LIMB. THE OBSERVED SYMPTOMS THUS FAR HAVE BEEN ERRATIC BEHAVIOR WHILE BRAKING (THE TRIGGER FOR THE AAA ANALYSIS) - THE RESULT OF THE LEAKED HYDRAULIC FLUID SPRAYING THE FRONT BRAKES. I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THE PREVIOUS RECALL INVESTIGATION FOR THIS 2010 FORD FUSION ISSUE RESULTED IN THE RECALL OF 2011 AND 2012 FORD FUSIONS, BUT NOT THE 2010 FORD FUSION. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE 2010 FORD FUSION INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN RE-OPENED, AND I WOULD THEREFORE ASK THAT MY COMPLAINT BE ADDED TO THE INVESTIGATION. I WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE TO REPAIR THIS PRIOR TO THE CONCLUSION OF THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION, AND WOULD THEREFORE LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER FORD WILL BE REQUIRED TO REFUND ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS IF THEY ARE NOT PERFORMED IN A FORD REPAIR FACILITY.

MY FUSION SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING WITH ENGINE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ON. LUCKILY THERE'S NO CAR ON THAT ROAD AT THAT TIME, I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR AGAIN, THEN EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. BUT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. WELL, WILL TRY ANOTHER DEALER. I LOVED MY FIRST 2006 FUSION SO I BOUGHT THIS 2010 FUSION, THIS PROBLEM AND HOW FORD HANDLED IT (MAKING IT A EXTENDED WARRANTY INSTEAD OF A RECALL) CHANGED MY MIND, MY NEXT SEDAN WILL NOT BE A FORD, PERIOD.
