2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

COMING HOME FROM LATE NIGHT MOVIE WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD SON.PULKED UP TO 4 WAY INTERSECTION ACROSS FROM MY DRIVEWAY AT 10AM ANGLE WHEN I GOT MY BREAKS TO STOP AT 4WAY PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR I HAD NO BREAKS.IVE ALREADY REPLACED MULTIPLE CALIPERS BREAK PADS EVERY 2 MONTHS AND ROTORS CAUSE I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE BREAKING SYTEM.BUT I HAD TO ANGLE MY CAR AT THE WALL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT TO STOP

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I TURNED IT OFF IN A DRIVE THRU LINE AND LESS THAN 2 MINUTES LATER CRANKED IT UP AND RECEIVED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE ERROR. MY STEERING WHEEL HAD NO POWER STEERING, IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO MANAGE TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE. I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WORKED AGAIN. AFTER READING EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCES I FIND IT RIDICULOUS FORD DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2010 TOO! THIS CAR IS A FINANCIAL DRAIN AND FORD HAS DEFINITELY LOST ANY FUTURE BUSINESS FROM ME! THIS HAPPENED ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER FORD REPLACED THE TAKATA AIRBAG WHICH I'VE SEEN OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC RACK AND PINION AND STEERING GEAR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

I START MY VEHICLE IT RUNS FINE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT STALLS IT WON'T ACCELERATE AT ALL OR MOVE

MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE ONE NIGHT ALONG A BUSY FREEWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. MESSAGE ON DISPLAY SAYS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. WHY WAS THERE NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THE 2010 MODELS AND AL THE REST>?????? VERY UPSET WITH FORD.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING, A MESSAGE APPEARED THAT SAID "POWER STEERING ASSISTANT FAULT ERROR" I INITIALLY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE COLD, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I DROVE IT TO WORK, AS I DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE. I MADE IT TO WORK SAFELY, IT WAS JUST HARD STEERING AT TURNS. I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE AS TO THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2011 AND LATER MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT THE BEST TIME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. AS I WAS READING THIS SITE, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR MODEL FUSION THAT ALSO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK THAT FORD WOULD CONSIDER TO ALSO OFFER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2010 MODES AS WELL, SINCE THEY HAVE HAD THE RECALL ON THE 2011 MODELS.

TAMARA RECALL POWER STEERING JUST WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY . NO WARNINGS .

WARNING MESSAGE ON DASH 'SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AS YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. YOU CAN NOT DRIVE CAR AT ALL AND STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. $2100 PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE FORD NOTIFIED ME OF THIS RECALL AS OF YET MY LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT HAVE NECESSARY PARTS TO MAKE THE NEEDED REPAIR HOW MUCH LONGER MUST I WAIT? FORD AUTHORIZED A RENTAL CAR HOWEVER MY DEALER HAS NONE AVAILABLE. PERHAPS THIS RECALL IS NOT AS URGENT AS BELIEVED TO BE.
