2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

MY 2010 FORD FUSION DEVELOPED A GAS LEAK ON AUGUST 1 2015. THE LEAK WAS A CONSTANT DRIP COMING FROM THE GAS TANK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO BE FIXED. AFTER REVIEWING THE GAS TANK, I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE METAL GAS TANK WAS CORRODING AT THE SEAMS AND HAD CORRODED ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH IN ONE AREA(PASSENGER SIDE). THE GASOLINE WAS SEEPING THROUGH THE CORRODED SEAM IN MULTIPLE AREAS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE METAL TANK DID NOT HAVE A WEATHER COATING TO PREVENT CORROSION. I WAS VERY SURPRISED AND FRUSTRATED THAT A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR HAS A GAS TANK THAT CORRODED THROUGH AND LEAKED GASOLINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL....UPDATED 10/27/15 *BF UPDATED 11/03/15.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE RPMS FLUCTUATED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS A CABLE ATTACHMENT TO IT, WHEN YOU PULL THE DOOR HANDLE IT MOVES THE LOCK AND THE DOOR OPENS. TODAY, MINE BROKE. THE REASON FOR CONTACTING YOU, I CALLED THE FORD LOCATION TO CHECK FOR REPAIR, THE PARTS MAN TOLD ME THAT THIS DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM WAS THE NO 1 PROBLEM FOR FORD MOTOR CARS. SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY WOULD ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, WOULD YOU THINK THAT $150.00 COST FOR REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE THE REASON? SOUNDS LIKE ADD ON SALES, DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT, BUT THE NUMBERS ARE MILLIONS.

WHILE DRIVING STEERING LOCKED AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON. IT IS HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH

DRIVING ON I 76 AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING A OF A SUDDEN. A MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAID "CHECK ADVANCETRAC" " SERVICE POWER STEERING". THE DEALER SAID IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER MODULE AND I NEED A NEW RACK AND PINION WHICH WILL COST ME OVER $1800.00. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING FOR FORD FUSION AND EVEN RECALLS REGARDING THE ISSUE ON 2011 THROUGH 2015, BUT SINCE MY CAR IS A 2010 AND IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT I COULD BARELY MAKE TURNS AND HAD TO GET A MAN ON THE STREET TO PARK MY CAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO. MY 1 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS $33000 MILES ON IT AND FORD REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THIS EXPENSE AT ALL. THEY ARE A TERRIBLE COMPANY WHO ONLY CARES ABOUT SAVING MONEY. THEY ARE NOT EVEN CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY AND HOW THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. SORRY FORD ALL OF US DON'T HAVE $1800 TO SHELL OUT ON REPAIRS THAT ARE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. DO NOT BUY A FORD FUSION! ALSO DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR FOR REPAIR AT JOHN KENNEDY FORD IN CONSHOHOCKEN, PA.

MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND TWO FRIENDS WERE TRAVELING BACK FROM THE CAMPGROUND HEADING BACK TO ONE OF THE FRIENDS HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT. THEY HAD DECIDED TO STOP BY A COFFEE SHOP JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM WHERE THEY WERE HEADING. WHEN SHE WENT TO MAKE THE TURN FROM THE HIGHWAY INTO THE PARKING LOT THE CAR LOST ALL POWER STEERING. SHE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE AND NO ONE WAS INJURED NOR WAS THERE A WRECK. SHE STATED TO ME THAT THE CAR WAS FINE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL UNTIL SHE SLOWED TO MAKE THE TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT THAT WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASH ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE THE PROBLEM ACCRUED JUST HAPPENED AT THE SNAP OF YOUR FINGER.

THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES COMPLETELY CORRODED END TO END RESULTING IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED LOCALLY AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO MY RESIDENCE. SHOULD THE NEED ARISEN TO ACCELERATE AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR AVOID AN ACCIDENT, THE FAILURE OF THESE LINES WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THAT AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, THERE IS AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS OF THIS CAR. I COMPARE THIS TO A 14 VW GOLF WITH 160,000 MILES AND 7 YEAR OLD BMW WITH 108,000 AND NEITHER EXHIBIT CORROSION OF THIS MAGNITUDE. THROUGH FORD FUSION/MERCURY MILAN/LINCOLN MKZ FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HAVE THAT THIS PART IS BACK ORDERED OVER 10 DAYS RESULTING IN THE NEED TO RENT A CAR.
