2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT. WHEN I START THE CAR, THE SCREEN ON THE DASH READS "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". WHEN I RESTART THE CAR, IT WORKS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE STATIONARY AND I AM TERRIFIED OF THE DAY IT GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL -- IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD AND THIS ISSUE STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SEEMS LIKE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A FIX WHEN IT'S POSSIBLE THE AIRBAG COULD EXPLODE UPON ACCIDENT.

HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURES WHILE DRIVING WITH NEAR ACCIDENTS EACH TIME (THANKFULLY DID NOT OCCUR). POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND BACK ON. TOOK INTO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK HAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. 1966$ TO FIX. DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND NHTSA FOR KNOWING THAT THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS LIKELY HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES TO THE RECALLED 2011-2013 ONES YET CHOOSE TO NOTHING ABOUT IT. HAPPY TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION IF REQUESTED.

TAKATA INFLATORS RECEIVED ORIGINAL RECALL MAY 2018-AM STILL TOLD PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. ALMOST A YEAR - HOW CAN THIS BE????

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS OFF AND ON. EVERY MECHANIC I SPEAK TO IS TELLING ME TO RESET IT AND I SHOULD BE OK. SO I'VE DONE THAT SEVERAL TIMES AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP BECAUSE IT NEVER WORKED. ONCE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK IN JULY OF 2018 AND I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I COULD'VE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY STEER THE WHEEL TO GET ME TO MY JOB. MY HUSBAND HAD TO COME TO MY JOB TO PICK THE CAR UP AND TAKE IT HOME. THE CAR IS NON OPERABLE BECAUSE OF THIS. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FEBRUARY 15TH, 2015 AND ALL AROUND IT WAS A GREAT CAR BUT WE ARE SLOWLY FINDING OUT THAT THIS CAR WAS NOT PROPERLY BUILT CORRECTLY AND THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT WAS ONCE NOTED AS A SAFE PASSENGER VEHICLE AND IT'S RXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. I'M SO FRUSTRATED BECAUSE EVERY AUTO SHOP IS TELLING MY HUSBAND AND I THAT IT'LL COST APPROXIMATELY $1900+ TO FIX!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS EPS- ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION SHOULD BE OUT ON THIS CAR!! I'VE HAD CARS FROM BEGINNING TO END AND THAT WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. HOWEVER I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!! ALL FORD FUSIONS FROM 2010+ NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE!
