CAR WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND I HAD TO PULL OVER FOR SAFETY REASONS.

VEHICLE, WHILE STATIONARY, WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A HIGHT RATE OF SPEED ON DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE. MAJOR T-BONE SIDE IMPACT COLLISION BUT SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, RESULTING IN SEVERE INJURY TO DRIVER.

POWER STEERING CUT OUT AS I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING PLACE. DROVE CAR HOME WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AND FOUND WHEN CHECKING ON LINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOW NOT GOING TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK THERE AND NEEDED A TOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER TO SUPPLY THE PART TO THE DEALER TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BECAME SPONGY THE BREAKS FOR THEM CHANGED AND CANNOT BELIEVE THE BRAKES AND IT APPEARS THAT THE ABS CONTROL OR UNDER THE HOOD HAS A STUCK VALVE WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES NOT TO WORK

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH DISPLAY THEN THE SERVICE STABLE TRAC MESSAGE CAME ON THE NOT 10 MINUTES LATER THE CAR LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND MESSAGED CHANGED TO SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. CAR WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL WHILE I DROVE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE.

HEATER/AC MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNED ON ANY SETTING AND WILL NOT SPEED UP WHEN FAN SPEED IS TURNED UP OR DOWN.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 70MPH ON A HIGHWAY. DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND BEEPED AND WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED. STEERING LOCKED UP AND WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. DROVE IT WITH DIFFICULTY OFF OF THE HIGHWAY TO A PARKING LOT AND TOWED IT TO DEALER. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THE COST WILL BE $2000 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. SOME MODELS WERE RECALLED, NOT MINE. DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRED EXTRA EFFORT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING POWER ASSIST GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,420.

I BEGAN TO NOTICE A SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHETHER IT WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING . OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE STEERING BECAME MORE STIFF, AS THE SOUND INCREASED. SOON THEREAFTER, THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. AS I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK, RECENTLY, THE STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A CURVE ON A SURFACE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM DRIVING OFF THE ROAD OR RUN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS I SAT THERE, THE STEERING SLOWLY RELEASED IN SMALL AMOUNTS ONLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME, AND ONLY ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL SPORADICALLY. IT IS NOW COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I CANNOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2010 FORD FUSIONS.
