2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE INDICATOR LIGHT WARNING TO SERVICE SOON CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR ROADWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS POSTED AT 55 MILES PER HOUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. DURING THE TURN IS WHEN IT BECAME MORE EVIDENT THAT IT HAD ALREADY GONE OUT, AS THE TURN IS NARROW AND IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR IN THE LANE CLOSE TO THE DIRECTION I WAS GOING IN. *TR

THIS INSTANCE VEHICLE GOING STEADY 35MPH AND STARTED REVVING RPM'S UP LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, IT THEN SLAMMED AND JERKED THE CAR AND STARTED THE REVVING AGAIN. STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND TURNED LEFT, WHILE TURNING AND HITTING ACCELERATOR THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE AND STARTED REVVING AGAIN AND THEN SLAMMED AND JERKED ALMOST MAKING THE PERSON BEHIND ME REAR END ME. PREVIOUS INSTANCE WAS A STEADY 75 MPH ON THE FLAT HIGHWAY AND THE SAME REVVING AND SLAM/JERKING HAD HAPPENED. 5TH TIME IT'S DONE IT THIS YEAR ALONE. 13 TIMES SINCE 2011. THIS INSTANCE THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP TO GET LOOKED AT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS ERRATIC AND DOES IT AT ANY TIME IT FEELS LIKE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT INDICATOR WILL NOT RESET. LOSS OF POWER STEERING. HOW CAN FORD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 FUSIONS BUT NOT THE 2010? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE YOUR DRIVING. *TR

EVERY SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY. I HAD A FORD DEALERSHIP CHECK IT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AFTER THEY HOOKED IT UP. THE OTHER PLACES EITHER. THIS TIME IT WENT OUT ON THE ROAD WHICH WAS DANGEROUS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY YEAR WHEN THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FORD PROBLEM. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING ASSIST IN MY VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS WHILE EITHER TRYING TO DRIVE (STATIONARY) AND WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) THE VEHICLE. THE FORD COMPANY HAS NOT RELEASED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS VERY ISSUE WITH MOTORISTS OWNING THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE ELECTRIC POWER WHEEL ASSIST ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND OTHER SITES WHERE MOTORISTS HAVE EXPLAINED THE SAME ISSUE OF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING/NOT WORKING DURING THE TIME OF SOMEONE DRIVING, TURNING THE WHEEL, OR SIMPLY PREPARING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I AM EXPRESSING MY DEEP CONCERN FOR NATIONAL SAFETY AS MANY AMERICANS HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND ARE DRIVING ON THE ROADS! I PRAY THIS RECALL CAN OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE MAY EXPERIENCE A FATALITY LEADING TO DEATH. I HAVE UPLOADED A PICTURE OF MY VERY OWN VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT.
