2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM 2010 FORD FUSION SE 6SPD MANUAL, COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AT RANDOM TIMES, HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN 5 DAYS. WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AT 40 TO 45 MPH STRAIGHT OR TURNING AT 5 TO 10 MPH OR EVEN GOING UP A STRAIGHT, SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOSES POWER COMPLETELY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS. I TURN CAR OFF, YES IN THE MIDST OF TRAFFIC WITH OTHER DRIVERS HONKING HORNS AND PRAYING NO ONE RUNS INTO ME, WAIT 5 SECONDS AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, WHICH IT DOES RESTART, HOWEVER THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC ERROR MESSAGE REMAINS. WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS THE ERROR MESSAGE WILL NOT APPEAR. IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY, WHICH BY THE WAY IS GOING TO GET ME KILLED. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WORKING TWO JOBS MAKING THE TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IS DIFFICULT, HOWEVER I WILL BE TAKING IT TODAY (3/14/16). LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION FOR ANY DRIVER ON THE ROAD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WHEN THIS OCCURS. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL, FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION QUICKLY.

ADVANTRAC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND ALSO POWER STEERING SERVICE NOW SIGNAL CAME ON. HAD NO POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING FAILURE SIGNAL HAD COME ON THREE OR FOUR TIMES IN THE PREVIOUS MONTHS. I WOULD TURN CAR OFF, TURN BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS TIME POWER STEERING NEVER CAME BACK ON. DROVE TO DEALER, THEY CHECKED SYSTEM AND CLEARED CODES AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING RACK FOR $1,850.00. I DECLINED. THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN BUT HE SAID IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. WHY?, WHEN?. MY CAR DRIVES FINE SO WHY DID I NEED A $1,850.00 REPAIR. THIS IS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. AM I DRIVING A COMPUTER WITH DEFECTIVE CHIPS OR A CAR WITH PARTS.

TAKADA RECALL - I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION.... MY WIFE AND I WAS OUT LAST NIGHT AND THE STEERING STOP WORKING AND A LIGHT CAME ON THE MESSAGE PANEL SAYING ADVANCE SERVICETRAC AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW... THIS IS HIGH DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE WERE NO WHERE NEAR HOME AND I HAVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING... I AM GLAD I DID HAVE OUR DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I DON'T KNOWANT WHAT'S GOING ON BUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE, ONLY THE CONSUMERS. POVER STEERING IS NOT A SIMPLE FIX IT IS EXPENSIVE. WHAT ARE THOSE OF US WHO DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED SUPPOSE TO DO. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. I REALLY DON'T EVEN WANT A FORD CAR IF ALL THEIR CARS COME WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR AND BECAUSE IT IS ELECTRIC IT IS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS AND AM WONDERING IF ANYTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS HAPPENING OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I COULD DO NOTHING TO RESTORE IT. THAT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY WANTED $100 TO LOOK AT IT AND $1800 TO REPAIR IT. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF REPAIRS. IT WENT OUT AT 51,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPENED THE TRANSMISSION START LEAKING. I HAVE TO ADD 2 QUARTS PER MONTH. I HAVE CALLED FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO RECALLS ON THIS YEAR. OVER 90% OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE HAVE TO DO WITH 2010 FORD FUSION STEERING PROBLEMS. MY WIFE CAN LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR AND DUE TO HEART SURGERY THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I CAN NOT DRIVE IT. I FINALLY CONTACTED A LAWYER AND THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL FORM CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK IT HAS EVER BEEN MY DISPLEASURE TO OWN. MY NEXT STEP IS TO QUIT MAKING PAYMENT ON IT. I STILL OWE $14,000 ON THIS PIECE OF SCRAP METAL.
