2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

FILLED CAR WITH GAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER REPLACING CANISTER PURGE VALVE BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER ON 14 DECEMBER 2018 FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL AND ASKED TO HAVE THE FUEL SMELL CHECKED. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD THE TANK WAS CRACKED AND NEEDS REPLACING. HE SHOWED ME WITH THE CAR ON THE RACK THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK.

THE STEERING FREEZES WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AND WE CANNOT TURN THE CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY SO ARE NOT DRIVING THE CAR NOW. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $2000 REPAIR.

POWER STEERING FAILED AND WAS REPORTED EARLIER THIS YEAR. COMPLAINT NO. 11090283. SUBSEQUENT TO INITIATING THE COMPLAINT I DID HAVE THE POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED A THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. TOTAL COST FOR REPLACEMENT WAS $1618.37. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I WAS ADVISED TO KEEP MY INVOICE AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THERE IS A RECALL. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE (STEERING FAILURE) WHEN WILL THE NHSTA DIRECT FORD TO INITIATE A RECALL?

POWER STEERING FAILED. MY CAR NOW HAS AROUND 182,000 MILES. 3 WEEKS AGO I STARED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING LOCKING UP WHEN STARING MY CAR ON NOV 28TH. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND I STARTED THE CAR WITH ALL WORKING OK. BUT SOMETHING SEEMS WILL GO WRONG SOON AND NEED REPAIRS A FORD DEALER RAN A TEST. TEST RESULTS FROM MY FORD DEALER SHOWED I NEED A NEW POWER STEERING SYSTEM COSTING ME AROUND $1,800. I UNDERSTAND FORD RECALLED 2011 FUSIONS INCLUDING THOSE BUILT IN SEPT OF 2010. BUT NOT ANY 2010 FUSIONS BUILT EARLIER THAT SAME YEAR.

IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL (MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 18S01, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V046) WAS MADE AND THERE IS STILL NOT A FIX/RESOLUTION.

I LOST MY POWER STEERING WITH NO NOTICE AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.. GOOD THING THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PULLING INTO WORK NOT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 49K MILES. I SEE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE 2010?
