2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING TO KNOXVILLE TO DROP CHRISTMAS GIFTS OFF TO ARE FAMILY IN BRISTOL TN. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT. THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN ON HER TOTALLY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. SHE HAS A MEDICAL CONDITION IN HER HANDS WERE SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH TOO DRIVE THE CAR EITHER. SO SHE GOT IT TO THE EMERGENCY ON WERE THEN I HAD TO DRIVE 4 HOURS TO PICK HER UP WHILE SHE IS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN DANGER AT ALL TIMES THERE TILL SOMEONE ARRIVED ITS A VERY OCCURRING PROBLEM SHE COULD OF KILLED HER SELF OR OTHERS

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WRENCH INDICATOR CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED LOOSING SPEED. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE. TURNED IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE AND WRENCH ICON WAS GONE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 4 DAYS.

DRIVING 2010 FORD FUSION SEL V6 HOME AT NIGHT AT AROUND 70 MPH, SUDDENLY MESSAGE CAME UP "ADVANCE TRACK , SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW". WE HAD SEEN THIS MESSAGE BEFORE. THIS IS THE FIFTH OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS ITS STEERING ABILITY (GOING 70 MPH), BUT UPON ARRIVAL AT OUR DESTINATION, AND THE SHUT OFF OF THE ENGINE, ALL POWER-STEERING ASSIST IS LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES BEFORE. THE FORD DEALER CAN CLEAR ALL OF THE ERROR MESSAGES AND THE CAR WILL HAVE ITS POWER STEERING ABILITY AGAIN; HOWEVER, WHEN THE FORD MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ERROR MESSAGES AND THE PROBLEM, HIS SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSIST AT A COST OF $1200 PLUS LABOR. I DECLINED, AS I AM SURE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL RECUR. HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS CAR? HOW CAN I SELL IT AND NOT DECLARE ITS UGLY PERSISTENT PROBLEM?? WHY DOESN'T FORD ACT ON THIS? THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ENGINE CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN GAS IS PRESSED. IDLE VERY ROUGH AT TIMES AND WILL SHIFT HARD AT TIMES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH ARE BOTH ON WHEN INCIDENT OCCURS. THROWING OBD2 CODES P2119,P0104,P2112. FORD FUSION SEL V6 3.0L 75K MILES. ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON TIME BY DEALER.

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE ANOTHER BIG ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND YEAR. THE CAR SMELLS OF FUEL. POSSIBLE FUEL TANK CORROSION. IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO BE WITHIN 20FEET OF THE CAR , LET ALONE LIGHT A CIGARETTE OR A MATCH. WHY IS THE NHTSA NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES, FORD FUSIONS, BUT RECALLING EVERYONE AFTER THE 2010 YEAR MODEL. YOU RECALLED THE 2013 FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM, 2011 & 2012 FOR THE POWER STEERING, ALOT OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE ALL FOR THE 2010 YEAR MODEL, AND YOU KEEP SKIPPING OVER THIS YEAR... HORRIBLE YEAR FORD HAS EVER MADE WITH THIS CAR. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED !!!! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PUT A NEW FUEL TANK IN A 4YEAR OLD CAR ...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. A DAY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK HAD BECOME UNDONE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. UPDATED 7/16/15*CN

THE STEERING WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE JANUARY 2014, POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST ABOUT $2000.00. THEY ALSO MADE MENTION THE POWER STEERING WITH THE FORD FUSION'S HAVE HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS IN THIS YEAR. ONCE AGAIN MAY 4TH , 2015 23,000 MILES LATER, I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL BINDING AND LOCKING. MY SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW INDICATORS CAME ON. FORD CLAIMS WHEN YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING THE CAR WILL GO INTO A MANUAL MODE. THIS IS TRUE TO SOME EXTENT. YOU ARE FIGHTING TO STEER THE CAR BECAUSE YOU ARE FIGHTING WITH THE GEARS IN THE RACK. THE STEERING LOCKS AND I ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION, I WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THE STEERING LOCKED. I HAD THE CAR TAKE TO FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING RACK WAS BAD AGAIN, AND ONCE AGAIN HAD TO MAKE REPAIRS. THERE IS NO RESAON I SHOULD OF HAD TO PUT TWO STEERING RACKS IN WITHIN 20,000 MILES. THE RECALL DONE WAS FOR 2011 VEHICLES. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE 2010 MODELS. THE COMPANY I WORK FOR OWNED 5 FORD FUSIONS ALL THE SAME MODEL, WE HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, MALFUNCTION CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DID NOT LOSE POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 5 MPH, IF AT ALL AT TIMES. ENGINE SHOOK/VIBRATED VERY BADLY. NEARLY REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ACTIVATED 4 WAY FLASHERS AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OF HIGHWAY INTO SHOPPING AREA. ANY TYPE OF GAS PEDAL PRESSURE DID NOT HELP. LET CAR SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, RESTARTED ENGINE AND NO ISSUES WHILE SLOWLY DROVE AROUND PARKING LOT FOR A WHILE TO ENSURE NO ISSUES. DO HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY DEVICE REPLACED, BUT I CONSIDER THIS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WILL NOW TAKE TO DEALER AND DEMAND THIS BE REPLACED BEFORE ANY OTHER OCCURRENCES,

ON MAY 30, 2015 THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE LEFT THE GEAR SHIFT IN DRIVE; TURN OFF THE VEHICLE; REMOVED THE IGNITION KEY AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED DOWN A GRASSY HILL RUNNING OVER A PARK BENCH AND THE HITTING A BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE. THE IGNITION KEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE REMOVE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE POWER STEERING GEAR AND RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. MA 08/10/15 UPDATED 8/14/15*JS
