2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND POWER STEERING STOPPED. LIGHT CAME ON SERVICE POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR HER AND FOR EVERY ONE AROUND HER. 55000 MILES AND HAD 6 RECALLS. THIS TO SHOULD BE BECAUSE IF SHE HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH I COULD HAVE LOST HER YESTERDAY SO SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

ADVANCE TRACK AND SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNINGS FLASHED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, PARKED CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. HAD TO REPLACE EPAS SYSTEM

TAKATA RECALL - FORD SAYS PARTS TO COMPLY WITH RECALL 16S26 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2018 AT THE EARLIEST. THIS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISES THE UTILITY OF THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE WITH THE EPS AND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY FIVE STAR FORD (900 RUSSELL PKWY, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088, (478) 922-9131), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM AN EPS RECALL, SO THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILS AS THE POWER STEERING MODULE FAILS TO COMMUNICATE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE BUT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN AS FORTUNATE. THEY'VE RECALLED MODEL YEARS 2011-2014 BUT THE DEFECT IS PRESENT IN THE 2010 MODELS AS WELL YET THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL FROM THE INSIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PARKED. YOU CAN ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW (IF IT'S NOT FROZEN SHUT) AND REACH TO THE OUTSIDE TO UNLATCH FROM THE HANDLE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE.

I GOT 2 MESSAGES POP UP; POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND I NEARLY RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR WHILE TURNING RIGHT.

I WAS SENT A LETTER THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE REPLACEMENTS WERE AVAILABLE

WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR THIS MORNING AROUND 5:30 AM GOING AROUND 50 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOW. YOU COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL GOING AT THAT SPEED. DASH SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING BUT SHOWS NO CODES ONCE HOOKED UP.

WHEN DRIVING BRAKES BECAME VERY WEAK ALMOST TO THE FLOOR, WE REPLACED THE BRAKES WITH STILL NO GOOD PEDAL. THEN WE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, ONCE IT WAS REPLACED IT WOULD NOT BLEED, AND STILL NO BRAKES. WE CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE FUSIONS WERE DIFFICULT TO BLEED ONCE MASTER CYLINDERS WERE REPLACED. WE SENT IT OUT FOR DIAGNOSTICS AT THE FORD DEALER AND WERE CHARGED $98.00. THEY CALLED AND SAID THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE BLEED BEFORE THEY COULD GIVE US AN EXACT ANSWER OF WHAT WAS WRONG AND THE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $100. THEY CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND SAID IT NEEDED A MASTER CYLINDER. WE TOLD THEM WE JUST HAD REPLACED IT. THEY SAID MAYBE IT WAS A FAULTY PART, SO WE PICKED UP THE CAR EXCHANGED THE PART AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY OTHER THING IT COULD BE WAS THE HCU AND THAT WAS ABOUT $1600 TO CHANGE. SO 2 TOW BILLS, AND $200 LATER WE STILL HAVE NO BRAKES. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WE HAVE SEEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSIONS AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ! LOSING BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS ! I WOULD LIKE A FORD REP TO CONTACT ME !
