2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

DRIVING AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND ALMOST WRECKED TOOK TO SHOP FOR REPAIRED. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $2800/3000 TO FIX. THEN CHECKED FOR RECALL.BUT 2010 WAS NOT COVERED BUT 2011WAS COVERED BY RECALL .THIS ARE THE SAME PART WHY IS IT SAFETY CONCERN FOR 2011 AND NOT FOR 2010.DO THE PEOPLE NOT NEED SAFETY???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING CONTROL AND THE "NO TRACK" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. GLOCKNER SOUTH POINT FORD (155 CO RD 406, SOUTH POINT, OH 45680, (740) 894-3673) REPAIRED THE STEERING GEAR ONCE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST JUST SUDDENLY WENT OUT. WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THAT MOMENT, VERY DANGEROUS! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. I BOUGHT THIS 2010 FUSION IN 2013. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE POWER ASSIST ONCE. NOW THIS HAPPENED AGAIN!?

WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SPEED UP WHEN COMING FROM A DEAD STOP. EVEN TRAVELING SPEEDS OF 60MPH I CAN NOT PUSH ON THE GAS AND PROCEED FAST ENOUGH TO QUICKLY SWITCH LANES. IT RUNS HIGH RPMS

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED TURNED ON LOST POWER STEERING AND POSTS THE CODES "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "ADVANCETRAC NEEDS SERVICE." IT MAKES CONTROLLING THE CAR DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. WE CHECKED ONLINE AND NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. VERY DANGEROUS AND DISAPPOINTING. NOT A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF AN AMERICAN COMPANY.

POWER STEERING FAILED SEVERAL TIMES DURING LOW-SPEED DRIVING. LOST BOOST AND VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER IN CURVED DRIVEWAY. AFTER THIRD FAILURE IT BECAME CLEAR THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IF IT FAILED AGAIN AT HIGHER SPEED. ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $2400.

NO POWER STEERING UPON STARTING VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CODE APPEARED IN DASH, NO POWER STEERING, UNABLE TO OPERATE VEHICLE

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAULT. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. IT WILL BE WORKING FINE THEN OUT OF NOWHERE STOP WORKING AND MAKES THE CAR REALLY HARD TO STEER. ITS HAPPENED WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN PULLING IN OR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL IT GETS RECALLED AND FIXED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS.

POWER STEERING HAS CEASED TO FUNCTION AND THE MANUAL STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT. THIS IS THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT WAS RECALLED IN 2011-2013 MODELS. WHY WASNT EVERY VEHICLE THAT USED THIS SAME STEERING RACK RECALLED? FORD WANTS ME TO PAY OVER $1600 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SOME TIME AND NEECS TO BE CONCLUDED SO I CAN GET MY CAR ON THE ROAD AGAIN. THE CARS STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY CLOVERLEAF ONRAMP, AND SENT ME OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL BEFORE GOING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
