2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WOULD HAVE TO ENTER THE CAR AND CLIMB OVER TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO UNLOCK THE CAR. IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AT FIRST AND THEN THE LATCH BROKE AND I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE DOOR LATCH STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK AGAIN, INTERMITTENTLY. THEN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. IF I WENT SHOPPING, I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO TAKE MY PURCHASED ITEMS HOME. I COULD NOT LOCK ANYTHING IN THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO MONTROSE FORD ON 05/01/2015 AND THEY CHARGED ME $482.85 TO REPLACE THE LATCH AND CABLE. *TR

I OWN 2 2010 FORD FUSION, I SEE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND THE NHTSA INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE RECALL. I HAD TO HAVE MINE REPLACED DUE TO THE POWER STEERING GIVING OUT WITH NO WARNING. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. IT COSTED ABOUT $1500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. I HAD TO PURCHASE THE NEW RACK FROM FORD (FORD ONLY PART) AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE POWER STEERING IS STARTING AGAIN. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, THERE ARE TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FORD FORUM AND THE POWER STEERING AND THE FUEL EVAPORATION LEAK ARE MAJOR COMPLAINTS WITH THE CAR. MY CAR WOULDN'T EVEN PASS STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE IT INDICATES EVAPORATION LEAK ON A CAP LESS SYSTEM. TO FIND THE FUEL LINE LEAK OR FUEL NECK LEAK WILL COST SO MUCH MONEY. BOTH OF MY VEHICLES HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS TOGETHER POWER STEERING AND CAN NOT PASS INSPECTION. THERE SHOULD BE A SERIOUS RECALL ON THESE ISSUES. IT REALLY ASHAME FORD WON'T ISSUE A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES , NO JUST TOTALED CARS!

DRIVING IN RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD. PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL WHEN STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. THANK GOODNESS NO CHILDREN WERE IN THE AREA AS USUAL. THIS STEERING ISSUE WILL BECOME A FATAL FLAW WITH THE FORD FUSION WHEN SOMEONE WITH LESS STRENGTH IS INVOLVED. LUCKY IT WAS A FULL GROWN MAN IN THE SEAT AND NOT MY DAUGHTER. THIS NEEDS RECALLED BEFORE WE LOSE A LIFE OVER PROFIT. AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH INJURY TO ANYONE. *TR

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING SHORTLY AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE CURB WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. ATCHLEY FORD IN OMAHA AGREED TO DO THE WORK FOR $864.17.

CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. WHEN I WAS LEAVING DESTINATION, I WAS BACKING OUT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON EPAS FAILURE LIGHT. POWER STEERING WAS OUT VERY HARD TO STEER. SHUT CAR OFF, RESTARTED CAR, LIGHT WAS STILL ON NO POWER STEERING ALSO ADVANCETRAKC LIGHT CAME ON. COULD HAVE WENT OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME ALL AT ONCE. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY I CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR UNLESS I ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AFTER HAVING STARTED THE CAR AND DRIVING OFF, MESSAGES THAT DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD INCLUDE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTY". *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER.THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY FROM AN ACCIDENT. HAVE BEEN TOLD THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND RACK WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE ESTIMATE WAS $1500.00. THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, SO I WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR A SAFETY ITEM THAT FORD OBVIOUSLY KNOWS ABOUT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON AFTER THE INCIDENT. *TR

ON 04/13/2015 I EXPERIENCED RAPID DECELERATION WHILE DRIVING HOME FORM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT ON 04/15/2015. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 04/16/2015 THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 04/17/2015. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES AND FAILED TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 04/18,4/19,4/21. I ORDERED THE PART MYSELF AND WILL DO THE REPAIRS MYSELF SINCE I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL A COMPLETE FAILURE HAPPENS. THAT WOULD INCREASE THE CHANCES OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
