2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE CAR WAS DERIVABLE AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. DEALER REPORTED THAT "PULLED CODES FROM PCM. FOUND CODE P07AE: 09-C8". DEALER QUOTED $2,100 TO REPLACE STEERING GEAR. I REQUESTED THAT THEY "RESET CODES" WHICH WAS DONE. POWER STEERING ASSIST BEGAN WORKING. I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE AND THAT FORD DID RECALL SOME VIN'S BUT NOT OTHERS.

MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS 2010 FORD FUSION WENT IN TO A STEERING FAILURE MODE WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY ON HER WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL. THE VEHICLES STEERING WAS INOPERABLE FOR SEVERAL MILES AND SHE WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE WHEEL WITH NO POWER TO MAKE 3 TURNS TO GET TO OUR HOME IN THE COUNTRY. THE MESSAGE AND FAULT CLEARED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE NEXT MORNING. IT HAS HAPPENED 5-6 MORE TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE TAKEN HER OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN FEAR SHE WILL BE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. IT LOCKED UP AND NOW STATES ADVANCE TRACSYSTEM ERROR COMES UP NOW AS WELL

2010 FUSION HYBRID LOST POWER THEN SHUT DOWN. A WARNING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND STOP. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE PROBLEM MAY BE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ACCORDING TO SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 45 MPH, THANKFULLY JUST BEFORE TURNING ONTO I95 INTERSTATE ENTRANCE.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND IT FELT LIKE I HIT AN ICE PATCH IN THE ROAD AND ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. EVER SINCE THEN MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SOFT, I HAVE DONE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING BESIDES CHANGING MAJOR HARDWARE ON THE VEHICLE AND STILL NO CHANGE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE AND REALLY WANT A RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE

I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR AND LOST ALL STEERING CAPABILITIES...THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I STILL HAD TO GET MY CAR HOME WHICH WAS STILL A SAFETY ISSUE WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND I WAS IN A PANIC WITHOUT THE STEERING CAPABILITIES. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION TO GET IT HOME. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR ROAD THIS WOULD OF BEEN A SERIOUS SITUATION WHICH WOULD OF LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE POWER STEERING MECHANISMS.. I AM SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN BECAUSE I AM AWARE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE NOT MOVED THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE YET TO GET IT TO A DEALER STILL UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM

I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE RENTAL TIL THE PART COMES IN, MY DASHBOARD IS CONSTANTLY SAYING CLEAR PASSENGERS AREA FOR AIRBAG, I HAVE CALLED THE FORD COMPANY BUT I AM GETTING A RUN AROUND, I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE SO I STILL DRIVING THIS ONE BUT I AM SCARED, PLEASE EITHER GIVE ME A RENTAL OR FIX IT PLEASE
