2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

WHILE DRIVING FUSION SERVICE DOWN HIGHWAY SUNDAY(12-16-18) SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON & COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS & HAD TO GET HOME TO PARK CAR BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING DUE TO STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD TO STEER, CAR SHAKING, AND COULDN'T HARDLY KEEP IN LANE. THE SERVICE ADVANCE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON & BOTH REMAIN ON & LITTLE TO NO CONTROL LEFT TO STEER THE CAR SO CAR REMAINS PARKED. FORD KNOWS THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS PART AND EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIRS AND PART IS A NECESSITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE CAR. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE COST OF FORD MOTOR NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO SEEK A SAFE CAR TO TRANSPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN.

MY CAR HAD "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER I STARTED IT IN A PARKING LOT AND THE LACK OF POWER STEERING MADE THE CAR UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. THIS WARNING HAD COME ON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, BUT THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE FORD FUSION 2010 SAYS TO TURN OFF THE CAR FOR 10 SECONDS AND RESTART IF THIS HAPPENS (PGS 213-15). THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM THE PAST FEW TIMES. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT GO AWAY NOW EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH FORD'S EPS SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE 2011-2013 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT, BUT WANTED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.

STEERING INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. IT IS DRIVEN BY A YOUNG DRIVER, AND I AM UPSET TO FIND OUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS COMPLAINT AND FORD HAS NOT EXTENDED THEIR RECALL TO THE 2010 MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE WHEN SO MANY OTHER 2010 FUSION OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE. RIDICULOUS.

A ERROR COMES UP ON DASH DISPLAY ' POWER STEERING ASSIST ERROR' THE BELL RINGS AND CAR LOCKS UP. YOU CANNOT STEER THE VEHICLE. I WAS LUCKY I WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF MY STREET AND ONLY GO 10 MPH. IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I LOOKED IT UP AND COME TO FIND OUT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. 2012 AND 2011 HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2010S?? I JUST PAID OFF MY CAR AND NOW IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE PLEASE HELP. THIS ERROR HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

MY CAR HAS A AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPAIR ON MY CAR FOR MONTHS, I HAVE THE RENTAL CAR BUT I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE TO RETURN THE RENTAL TOMORROW BUT THEY CANNOT GIVE ME A ETA ON THE REPAIR FOR MY CAR? ALL THEY TOLD ME IS THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR THE RENTAL AFTER TODAY. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 SO I'M NOT SURE HOW I CAN PUT MY FAMILY IN MY CAR AND BE SAFE? MY RECALL NUMBER NHTSA 16V-384. I WAS HOPING SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME DIRECTION ON THIS. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO ASK FOR A EXTENSION FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME I HAVE TO RETURN THE RENTAL CAR IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN PRIVATELY OWNED DEALERSHIPS. WASN'T FORD MOTOR COMPANY THE ONE THAT HAD THE RECALL????

MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING.

AIRBAGS IN MY CAR ARE DEFECTIVE, HAVE CALL THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES ABOUT GETTING THEM REPLACED UNDER NHTSA RECALL# 16V384.

JUST LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID THE POWER STEERING IN MY WIFE'S CAR WENT OUT. THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS PARKED WHEN IT WENT OUT DUE TO THE FACT WE ARE DRIVING OUR 16 MONTH OLD AROUND IN IT. ALSO JUST LIKE THE OTHERS WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WOULD BE AROUND 1,500.00 TO 1,800.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR.

AFTER 3 YEARS OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING MESSAGES THE CAR FINALLY HELD THE CODE LONG ENOUGH FOR FORD TO DIAGNOSE THE CODE. THERE ARE 4 CONTROL ARMS AND THE POWER STEERING RACK THAT ARE BAD IN THE CAR NOW AND FORD WANTS $2875 TO MAKE THE REPAIR WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD AND NOW HAVE A USELESS CAR.
