2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

VEHICLE WAS JUST PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND AS I EXITED THE CAR I NOTICED SOMETHING ODD ACROSS THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT WAS YELLOWISH IN COLOR AND APPEARED TO HAVE A DRIPPING BUBBLE LOOK TO IT. CONTACTED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND FORD MOTOR CO., TO SEE ABOUT HAVING THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE,UNSAFE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. APPARENTLY, IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. SPOKE WITH REPUTABLE WINDSHIELD INSTALLERS AND THEY STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS SEPARATING AND WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THIS SEPARATION CONTINUES TO WORSEN, ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER JUST AROUND THE CORNER. THE WINDSHIELD WILL SPLINTER AND CRACK, WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY BREAK. ACCORDING TO THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH HE STATED THAT HE HAS HAD NUMEROUS FORD FUSIONS COMING IN ALL THE TIME FOR WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT DUE TO THIS SEPARATION PROBLEM. I DRIVE THIS CAR WITH OTHER PASSENGERS AND MY GRANDCHILD. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FACTOR. I'M NOW FORCED TO INSTALL A NEW WINDSHIELD, BECAUSE FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT FEEL THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM AND WILL ONLY PUT AN OFFER ON THE TABLE IF YOU PLAY BY THEIR RULES! WHERE IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS WINDSHIELD PROBLEM. FOLKS IF YOU OWN A FUSION CHECK THE TOP OF YOUR WINDSHIELD AND MAKE SURE IT'S NOT SEPARATING AND BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO COLLEGE WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE SHE WENT TO DRIVE AROUND A RIGHT HAND CORNER AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED THE CAR STEERING WAS SO HARD TO TURN THE CAR DIDN'T MAKE THE RIGHT HAND TURN SO THE CAR WENT ACROSS THE ROAD AND UP OVER THE CURB AND ALMOST HIT A LADY WALKING HER DOG NO ONE WAS HURT BUT SURE COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAR HAS NO OTHER DAMAGE BESIDES THE STEERING AND THE ADVANCE TRACK NOT WORKING I'M VERY GLAD EVERYONE IS OK I'M 50 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS I HAD TO GO GET THE CAR OFF THE CURB AND DRIVE IT TO THE FORD DEALER WAY HARD TO DO EVEN HARDER THEN A OLDER VEHICLE IF THE POWER STEERING FAILED SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED 42000 MILES CAR IS LIKE NEW AND I SEE WELL OVER 500 COMPLAINTS SO FAR SO I WOULD SAY THIS ISN'T JUST A RANDOM PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPROACHING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRED FORCE IN ORDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

VEHICLE LOST POWER, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE A WRENCH SHOWED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, IT EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO GRADUALLY GAIN SOME OF IT'S POWER ENOUGH TO GET THE CAR HOME. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS BY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S SEEM IT HAS TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. MY REAL CONCERN IS WHY FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN REQUIRED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. LOSS OF POWER COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THIS HAPPENS ON A INTERSTATE ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH LOST ALL POWER STEERING. VERY HARD TO STEER COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. THE DASH READOUT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. CAR HAS ONLY 55,708 MILES ON IT. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN YOU CAN LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THANK GOD THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

ON SATURDAY 08/08/2015 I HAD A CLOSE CALL. MY FORD FUSION LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND POWER. I WAS GOING ABOUT 55MPH AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE LANE BUT ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND ABOUT 3 TIMES. MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR AND WAS SO SCARED THAT SHE TOOK A TAXI HOME AND WOULD NOT GET BACK IN THE CAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT FORD DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM, OR MAYBE WHEN SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPEN THAT IS WHEN THEY WILL STEP IN BUT IT WILL BE TOO LATE. I RECENTLY SPEND $350 TO GET MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT FIX AND I AM GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS LOSS OF POWER FIXED TOO. I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP MY FORD ANYMORE BUT I AM ALSO AFRAID TO SELL TO SOMEONE AND HAVE THAT PERSON RISK THEIR LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!

CAR CUT OUT AND WENT TO LIMP MODE. CODE P2111 - ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM OPEN THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR. IF I HAD NOT BEEN A EXPERIENCED DRIVER AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULT FROM SHUTTING DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE

WHILE DRIVING (8/8/15) ON I-65 AT APPROX. 75MPH, THE RPM'S DROPPED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE PEDAL. AFTER CAREFULLY MAKING OUR WAY TO THE SHOULDER, IT WAS NOTICED THAT CHARGING SYSTEM AND THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHTS HAD TURNED ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND UPON RESTARTING, EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE WORKING AS IT SHOULD. THE ABOVE WAS THE SECOND INSTANCE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. PREVIOUSLY (JUNE 2015), WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC AT APPROX. 30MPH, THE RPM'S DROPPED AND THE THROTTLE PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, FUNCTIONALITY RESUMED. OVER THE NEXT 15MILES BACK HOME, THIS OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES AT SPEED BETWEEN 25 ~ 55 MPH. AT ALL INSTANCES, THE THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON, BUT THEN TURNED OFF AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.
