2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION WENT OUT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING. MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING CAUSING HIM TO ALMOST CRASH INTO A CAR WHEN HE WAS ATTEMPING TO TURN.

THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN ENGINE WOULDN'T REV ABOVE 1000 RPM...LIMPED A FEW MILES THEN HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE IT'S A MANUAL AND IT WOULD STALL..DESPITE ALL THE INFO ON NHTSA AND OTHER SITES ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FORD WAS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ON THESE, THEY HAVE SAID OUR CARS REPAIR ISN'T COVERED. $300 LATER..AFTER A TOW AND A RUINED TRIP TO PICK UP OUR DAUGHTER FROM HER INTERNSHIP IN NYC, I'M PRETTY DISAPPOINTED.

POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT POWER STEERING GEAR BAD DUE TO INTERNAL FRICTION IN MOTOR. SENSOR CODE COMES ON TO FIX ASAP TOOK TO DEALER WILL NOT HONOR RECALL BECAUSE NOT RIGHT YEAR. RECALL FOR 2011 NOT 2010 THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR ALL YEARS HAVING PROBLEM AROUND THOSE DATES. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGH WAY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE TOWED HOME.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON ALONG WITH THROTTLE WRENCH LIGHT...CAR SHAKING LITTLE POWER....PULLED OVER ,RESTART CAR LIGHTS STILL ON , SLOW DRIVE AND SHAKY RIDE HOME..

THE NIGHT WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, USED FROM A FORD DEALER, IT WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE WITHOUT JUMPING/BUCKING. THEY WERE SWIFT TO GIVE US A LOANER WHILE THEY "REPROGRAMEMD" THE CAR. NOW, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. THEY PUT A BANDAID ON IT UNTIL WE COULDN'T RETURN IT. SINCE THEN, JUST OVER 2YRS AGO, WE HAVE HAD THROTTLE REPLACED X3, CLEANED ONCE FOR $250 (WHILE ON THE WAY SOUTH FOR VACA, WE GOT STUCK HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HM UNTIL FORD DEALER OPENED 2 DAYS LATER.) THIS CAR HAS STRANDED US THREE DIFF TIMES WHILE OUT OF STATE ON VACA. NOW WHILE ON INTERSTATE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON, THE CAR STARTS BUCKING AND ACTING LIKE A MANUAL IN THE WRONG GEAR. BUT, HAS NO ACCELERATION. JUST REVS TO 4K-6K RPMS. DANGEROUS ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY SEMIS GOING FULL SPEED BEHIND YOU OR HAVING TO TRY AND CROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO EMERGENCY LANE--WITH NO ACCELERATION! THIS CAR IS A DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP. SHOCKING TO ME HOW FORD HASN'T STOOD BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. WE, AS A HUGE EXTENDED FAMILY, HAVE ALWAYS STOOD BEHIND FORD. ALWAYS BOUGHT FORD. NOW, WE HAVE BEEN DUPED BY THEM. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD US A FAULTY CAR, PUTTING THOUSANDS OF OTHER BUYERS IN DANGER AS WELL, AND HAVEN'T DONE A THING TO PROVE TO THE CONSUMERS THAT THEY CARE ABOUT US AS CUSTOMERS OR ONE IOTA ABOUT OUR LIVES. IF FORD DOESN'T RECALL THESE, I KNOW WE WILL SEE DEATHS FROM IT. ITS PROB GOING TO BE THE NEXT AUTOMOTIVE WORLD SCANDEL LIKE THE AIRBAGS. OUR FUSION IS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF METAL, WITH A HUGE PYMT, JUST SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY USELESS. SOMEHOW, WE HAVE TO FIGURE A WAY TO SAVE THOUSANDS FOR A TRANSMISSION ON A 6YR OLD CAR. NEVER THOUGHT FORD WOULD TURN OUT TO TREAT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS THIS WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND REGAIN NORMAL STEERING FUNCTION. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

STARTED THE CAR THIS MORNING AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR BUT COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEELS. THE CAR CAN ONLY GO STRAIGHT. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO FIX. GLAD I WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR.

SUDDEN STALLING OR ACCELERATION. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DEPENDING ON HOW MANY TIMES I START THE CAR. MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DIED I WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. NOW MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND I HAVE NO CONTROL ON THE THROTTLE. WHEN I GIVE IT GAS IT JUST CREEPS ALONG. LIMP HOME MODE. I WAS IN OTION ON A CITY STREET AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH CONTROL TO GET OVER ON A SIDE STREET SAFELY WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE BANK DRIVE THRU AND POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AT ALL WHILE I WAS TURNING ONTO THE STREET.

AS I AM DRIVING, THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. WHEN I RESTART THE ENGINE, THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THE CAR RUNS FINE FOR A WHILE. I BELIEVE IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY
