2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOST POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON DASH SAYING SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

MY NAME IS [XXX] . I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION. I WAS DRIVING ON SEPTEMBER 2,2015 WHEN I WENT TO TURN A CORNER MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND IT STILL IS. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD PLACE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST $1800 TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT NEED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID,BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT DOES NOT USE POWER STEERING FLUID. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2011 FOR A STEERING PROBLEM, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING AT ALL AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANYMORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR BRAKES ARE SQUISHY AND PEDAL IS EASILY PUSHED TO FLOOR WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEED OR IN PANIC STOP. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. TOOK TO FORD AND THEY ADVISED IT WAS OPERATING PROPERLY. STILL DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT AND TAKES TOO LONG TO STOP.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN I LOSS POWER AND THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE GAS SO LUCKY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IN TO EMERGENCY LANE BEFORE I GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND TOLD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM SYSTEM ON THIS CAR. IT HAS TO DO THE THE FILLER NECK ON THE GAS TANK. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD FUSION AND THIS MODEL. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THE SMAE BOAT AND GETS KILLED OR CAUSE ONE SERIOUS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AFTER THE STEERING ASSIST AND THE ADVANCED TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUES PLAGUING FORDS. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND THE "WRENCH" LIGHT APPEARS. THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED AND DID NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH TEMPORARY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A GRADUALLY WORSENING PROBLEM.

POWER STERING WENT OUT ON 2010 FORD FUSION. DASH NOTIFICATIONS: SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC & POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. SEEING TOO MANY POSTS ON THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 25 MPH AND THE STEERING FAILED. POWER STEERING WAS GOING IN AND OUT, AND WAS MOSTLY OUT. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY - DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE MANY, MANY, MANY VEHICLE RECALLS FOR STEERING ON THE FORD FUSION. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD WAS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR. I HAD TO PAY A TOTAL OF $1833.57 FOR THE STEERING, LABOR, AND FOR THE ALIGNMENT. I AM HOPING THAT I WILL BE REIMBURSED FROM THE DEALER FOR THE THE PARTS.

POWER STEERING LOCKED UP, COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED IN A VERY RURAL AREA WHERE THERE WAS NO PHONE SERVICE TO EVEN CALL FOR HELP. I COULD HAVE DIED. THIS IS NOT SAFE.
