2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

ON DECEMBER 9, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 1930, I WAS BACKING MY 2010 FORD FUSION OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE ADVANCTRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING". AT THIS TIME POWER STEERING WAS STILL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. BY THE TIME I MADE IT TO THE END OF MY BLOCK - APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPALYED "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW". IT WAS AT THIS POINT, THAT THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. I NARROWLY MISSED A VEHICLE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AND ENDED UP PARTLY IN MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE. I THEN DROVE THE CAR TO ZECK FORD IN LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS FOR SERVICING THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE SERVICE CENTER.

TAKATA INFLATORS REAR-END COLLISION CAUSED AIR BAG TO DEPLOY WITHOUT INFLATION--NO SIGNIFICANT INJURY

I'VE CALLED FORD AND THEY SAY THE RECALL IS NOT DANGEROUS; HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTE SAYS THAT MY AIRBAG COULD BE DEADY. IN ADDITION, THE CAR HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 7 YEARS AND I LIVE IN A VERY HUMID STATE (FLORIDA). I'VE ASKED FOR A COMPLIMENTARY LOANER CAR SO THAT I AM NOT INJURED OR KILLED.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DOWN A SIDE STREET, WITHOUT WARNING SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE CAME ON AND ALSO ADVANCE TRAC WARNING CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STIFF AND VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. TOOK ME 20 MINS TO PARK MY CAR WITH ALL MY STRENGTH. *TR
