2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE POWER STEERING HAD A SMALL ODD SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE IN IT THAT FELT SIMILAR TO AN OUT OF BALANCE TIRE. THEN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE STEERING BECAME INCREDIBLY HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE ADVANCE TRACK WARNING FLASHED ON THE CONSOLE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE FAULT AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED, BUT THE WOBBLE WAS WORSE AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING. THE FOLLOWING MODEL YEAR HAS THE SAME PART AND IS PART OF A RECALL FOR THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED, FORTUNATELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR DAILY COMMUTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SO IT WAS VERY LUCKY THAT IT FAILED WHEN THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE WAS MINIMIZED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $1872.69, INVOICE ENCLOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V222000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING CAR THEN LOST POWER STEERING, ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT COMES ON, ALSO ADVANCETRAC SERVICE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES. TOOK CAR TO THE MECHANIC HE SAID IT NEEDS A NEW RACK. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND REALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE IN A CAR THIS AGE AND CONDITION. MY MECHANIC CANNOT DETERMINE THE ABS PROBLEM TILL THE RACK IS REPLACED. IT SEEMS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT THESE COMPONENTS ARE ALL CONTROLLED ELECTRICALLY. SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS. 2010 NEEDS A RECALL ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED(CONTROLLED BY HYDRAULICS). PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NOT FUNCTIONING, THE LIST GOES ON. DON'T HAVE AN INVOICE YET AS CAR IS TILL IN THE SHOP. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO FORD, BUT I DON'T EXPECT A RESOLUTION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS), HOWEVER THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD 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 REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

STEERING SYSTEM SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. SYSTEM FLASHED A WARNING AND "DING" SOUND AND I LOST ALMOST ALL STEERING. IT TOOK A LOT OF STRENGTH TO EXIT AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND I HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH.

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND NOW THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING IS COMING ON AND WE CANT RESET IT. WE WERE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING.

IT'S THE RECALL WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I'VE TAKEN CAR BACK 3 TIMES ALREADY. FIRST THEY REPLACE PURGE VALVE. THEN LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND CAR WAS JUMPING FORWARD. NOW THIS IS 3RD TIME LIGHT BACK ON AND NOW THEY WON'T FIX CAR UNLESS I PAY. THEY SAID IT'S ALL A PART OF THE SAME SYSTEM BUT I NEED TO PAY FOR A LEAK THAT IS COMING FROM FILTER NECK. SO I LEFT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. THIS IS A RECALL. DOES THIS QUALIFY UNDER LEMON LAW? THIS CAR SCARES ME TO DRIVE. DRIVE WITH BOTH FOOT ON GAS AND BRAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND TURNING LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE "STEERING WHEEL DEFAULT" WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
