STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THE ADVANCETRAC NOTIFICATION ON AND SOON AS I TURNED THE WHEEL IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD AND TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH. WHEN I WENT TO PULL FORWARD I NEARLY JUMPED THE CURB BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL FAST ENOUGH. I CAN NO LONGER WORK AS MY REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE ALL DAY. AND DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS $1400-2000 ESTIMATED COST OF FIX. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT BECOMES FATAL. *TR

MY SON WAS RUNNING ERRANDS. HE WENT INSIDE A STORE & WHEN HE GOT BACK IN THE CAR THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS ADVANCE TRAC. HE CALLED HOME & SAID HE TRIED TO BACK UP BUT COULD NOT GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. WE LEFT THE CAR PARKED & HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALER ON MONDAY A.M. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF REPAIR MIGHT BE NEEDED & HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THE EXACT STEERING FAILURE MY FORD FUSION HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM THANKFUL MY SON WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME THE STEERING FAILED. HOWEVER, I AM VERY CONCERNED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I OWN A 2ND 2010 FORD FUSION WHICH MY OTHER SON DRIVES. I BOUGHT BOTH MY SONS A FORD FUSION AWD BECAUSE I WANTED THEM TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT INFORMING OWNERS OF THIS POTENTIAL POWER STEERING FAILURE. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY STEERING BEFORE A SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL ACCIDENT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE. I HAD TO PAY $1750.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING REPLACED & THE ADVANCE TRAC FIXED. THE FORD DEALER KNEW OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION BUT SAID FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THE REQUIRED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON MY CARS & KEEP THEM IN PERFECT CONDITION. I HAD TO PUT THE FULL AMOUNT ON A CHARGE CARD, WHICH NOW I WILL PAY INTEREST ON. I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY FOR OR EVEN "CHARGE" ANOTHER $1750.00 TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING ON MY OTHER 2010 FORD FUSION. I AM SCARED TO DEATH SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHILE MY OTHER SON CONTINUES TO DRIVE WHAT SEEMS TO BE A "STEERING FAILURE TICKING TIME BOMB" AS HE NEEDS A CAR TO GET TO WORK DAILY. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS...QUICKLY! *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THE SENSORS IN THE SEATS ARE BAD. AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ERROR. THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE OVER $1000 TO FIX. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING AIRBAG PROBLEMS AT 5 YEARS OLD. I DID HAVE A RECALL ON A 2001 FORD ESCAPE OF 12V353000. I DID HAVE THE SPEED CONTROL STICK CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 60 MPH BREAKING MY BACK AND SHOULDER. THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL, IT WAS NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE PRESENT. UPON PARKING AT HOME, IT WAS NOTICED THE PRESENTS OF GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THIS HAD BEEN REPEATED ALL SUMMER OF 2014. I HAD BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE, ABOUT 6 INCHES FORWARD OF THE REAR TIRE. IF THE TANK WAS FULL, IN A MATTER OF HOURS THERE WOULD BE A POOL OF GASOLINE AND THE FUMES AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE FUMES ARE PRESENT EVEN OUTSIDE ON THE OPEN AIR. ON JANUARY 20, 2014 I HAD THE FUSION INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, AUTO PARK FORD, STURGIS, MICHIGAN. THE MAIN REASON WAS FOR THE THROTTLE BODY RECALL. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO DROP THE FUEL TANK AND TAKE A LOOK TO SEE WHY IT WAS LEAKING. WE HOPED IT WOULD BE A SEAL, WHICH WOULD NOT BE A BIG DEAL. HOWEVER, THEY FOUND A HOLE IN THE TANK, RUSTED THROUGH 1/4 OF THE WAY DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST OF FIXING THE TANK IS OVER $1700.00, THIS IS BEYOND ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE A 2003 FORD EXPEDITION AND A 2006 CHEVY IMPALA AND DO NOT HAVE FUEL LEAKS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A NEWER VEHICLE WOULD HAVE SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE. A SIMPLE SPARK COULD IGNITE THE FUMES PRESENT AND KILL MY FAMILY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO EXCEPT HOPE THAT FORD LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED FORD. IF YOU WANT ANY FOLLOW UP CONVERSATION, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL ME. RESPECTFULLY [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *JB

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION WHEN THE POWER STEERING JUST GAVE OUT ON THE ENTRANCE THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO EXPLAINED PROBLEM WITH FORD ON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ON GOING SAFETY INVESTIGATION WITH NHTSA. FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. WITHOUT MY UPPER BODY STRENGTH THEIR WOULD HAVE UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN A CRASH. EVEN WITH MY UPPER BODY STRENGTH, WHICH IS CONSIDERABLE, AN ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED. *TR

I OWN A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH ONLY 31,500 MILES. THE LH HALF AXLE STATED TO HEMORRHAGE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS ABOUT 3 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH SHOWS. *TR
