2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT OPEN. I AM STUCK IN THE CAR UNLESS I ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH IS NOT THAT EASY.. THIS WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN MY HAVING TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS MOTOR!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING FOLLOWED BY THE POWER STEERING/ADVANCE TRAC FAILURE LIGHT APPEARING ON THE DASH. I CAREFULLY PULLED OVER AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. FORD DETERMINED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE PSCM R&R STEERING GEAR AT A COST OF $1919.63

POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAULT MESSAGE CAME ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE BUT MESSAGE REMAINED. DROVE HOME 45 MILES WITHOUT POWER STEERING. NEXT TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING WAS FINE. STOPPED AT FORD DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE IF MESSAGE WAS BEING DISPLAYED. MESSAGE AGAIN APPEARED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER BUT WENT OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM (OCTOBER 5, 2016). THEIR DIAGNOSTIC INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON 2011-2013 FORD FUSIONS. THE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,800.

STEERING ASSIST FAULT. NO POWER STEERING. WAS ON AND OFF, NOW JUST NO POWER STEERING AT ALL.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY STEERING ASST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AT THE STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO DRIVE FOUGHT THE CAR HOME. DAYS LATER GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THE POWER STEERING GEAR NEED TO REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF 1800. TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE RECALL ONLY INCLUDED 2011-2013 WHEN MY CAR IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING NOTED IN THE OTHER RECALLS

MY DAUGHTER'S 2010 FORD FUSION POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT. SHE DIDN'T CRASH THE CAR BUT IT MADE IT HARD TO TURN. HE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT. WE GOT THE TIRE PRESSURE BACK BUT NOW THE POWER STEERING WON'T WORK. WE HAD ONE MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR BUT HE SAYS IT'S THE STEERING RACK AND THOSE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS AND SEE THERE HAS BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THINK FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BAD OR KILLED. I ALSO OWN A 2012 FORD FUSION AND THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT IN IT AND I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR. THE COST OF THAT REPAIR WAS $555 AND THE STEERING RACK CAN RANGE FROM $1200 TO $1600 AND IF FORD DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT EITHER ISSUE THEN I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AGAIN.

HI I NEED HELP WITH GETTING MY CAR FIX. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON THE THROTTLE AND MY CAR STILL ISN'T FIX. I'VE TAKEN IT IN THREE DIFFERENT TIME. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY FIX TO PARTS. THE THIRD TIME, THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME. I SAW IN THE RECALL ABOUT THE CRACK WHICH CAN LEAK GAS. MY CAR HAS THE CRACK THEY PUT ON MACHINE AND I HAVE PRINT OUT. FORD OF UPLAND CALIFORNIA WON'T FIX CAR UNLESS I PAY. WHAT STEPS DO I TAKE NOW? I'M AFRAID OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR ACTS AS THEY IT'S GOING TO SHUT OFF. MY PAPERWORK SHOWS THAT THE MACHINE SAYS EVAPORATION LEAK FROM FILTER NECK. PLEASE HELP THIS IS SECOND COMPLAINT I'VE MADE.

POWER STEERING FAILED AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT DISPLAYED ON DASH. RESTARTED CAR AND POWER STEERING WORKED OK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 07/28/09 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON LATER MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2010. THE SAME THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY 10.07/16. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

THE DOOR LATCH HAS A BROKEN SPRING TAB POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A CONDITION WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT AS TEH DOOR HANDLE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. THIS BROKEN CONDITION IS AT ALL TIMES OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE. BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH THIS IS A WIDELY COMMON SAFETY DEFECT FOR 2006 - 2010 FORD FUSIONS, MERCURY AND LINCOLN SISTER MODELS
