2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. AFTER SOME READING I SAW THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS COSTING UP TO 2000 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS WAS ALL RELATED TO THE POWER ASSIST COMPONENT THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN RECALLED ON 2011 AND NEWER. 2010 WAS LEFT OUT YET HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE DOES NOW. HAD THIS BEEN MY CHILDREN DRIVING THEY WOULD NOT HAVE HAS THE ARM STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS ISSUE IS POSSIBLY DEADLY AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. AS OF RIGHT NOW I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD INCLUDE 2010 AND OLDER THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2011 MODELS OR NEW MODELS HAVE. WHAT IF IT WAS ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE? WOULD YOU WANT IT RECALLED FOR THEIR SAFETY? *TR

POWER STEERING STARTED TO RANDOMLY GO OUT. WE WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND IT WOULD COME AND GO. IT IS A GOOD THING WE WERE NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. *TR

BRAKES WENT SOFT, REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER THEN I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AT ALL. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE THINKS THE ABS SYSTEM IS BAD, I READ A LOT OF COMMENTS ON LINE TO SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DID STOP ON SNOW AND THE ABS SYSTEM WORK THEN AFTER THAT THE BRAKES WENT SOFT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY BOYFRIEND AND I WEREN'T SURE WHAT THAT MEANT SO WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME A FEW MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE REACHING OUR DRIVEWAY THE CAR SEEMED A LITTLE HARDER TO TURN, BUT IT STILL WASN'T THAT BAD. WE DECIDED IN THE MORNING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE STARTED THE CAR AND WE COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. I DO SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS, BUT FORD HAS NOT MADE THIS A RECALL AND THERE IS A LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS. THANKFULLY WE NOR ANYONE AROUND US WAS HURT, BUT NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT PAYING AROUND $1500 FOR REPAIRS. IT WOULD BE NICE IF FORD COULD HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. *TR

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, TODAY THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. DOOR CANNOT BE OPEN FROM INSIDE. DRIVER MUST CLIMB OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO EXIT OR ELSE ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER WINDOW TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES TOWED TO THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP. LORENZO FORD IN HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COULD NOT TURN OR STEER. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND TURNING ON A BUSY INTERSECTION ON 157 AVENUE AND NORTH KENDALL DRIVE WE ALMOST GOT INTO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT HEAD ON. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE TURNING ON SW 137 AVENUE AND 152 STREET AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. ALSO WE PAID $1800.00 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY WITH THE SAME ISSUE A LOCKED STEERING WHEEL. IT SHOWS THAT THE AIRBAG IS OPEN AND IT IS NOT. WE ARE VERY UPSET AND DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE THAT WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE NEED HELP.THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND PERHAPS LOSS OF LIFE. WE USUALLY DON'T COMPLAIN BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE PART IS IN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN SINCE JULY 2016 THAT WE RECEIVED THE LETTER FOR THE RECALL AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SO FAR. THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED WAS THE GEAR ASSEMBLY -STEERING $1186.74 PLUS LABOR. SINCE 5/2016 -10/2016 ITS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES. STILL NOT DRIVABLE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN JUNE 2016 ABOUT MY AIRBAGS BEING RECALLED AND NOW 7 MONTHS LATER THEY ARE STILL NOT READY TO PROVIDE A REMEDY.

POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE REPORTS ERROR CODE, AND ALL POWER STEERING IS LOST WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER CURRENT RECALL. *TR

POWER STEERING NOT WORKING. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT KNEE AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK AND RESET FAULT CODES FOR STEERING ANGLE AND ABS. POWER STEERING WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES. DROVE TO SUPERMARKET. CAME OUT OF MARKET TO FIND POWER STEERING NOT WORKING (STATIONARY). TOOK DIRECTLY TO FORD DEALER. FORD DEALER UPDATED SOFTWARE, PERFORMED STEERING ANGLE RESET, AND CLEARED ALL CODES AFTER REPROGRAMMING. POWER STEERING WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES. LEAVING WORK I FOUND THE POWER STEERING NOT WORKING AGAIN (STATIONARY). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE ADVANCE TRAC AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.
