I WAS DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 WHEN THE "ADVANCE TRACK" WARNING APPEARED, AT WHICH TIME I LOST POWER STEERING, THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR USED. IT'S HAPPENED A TOTAL OF AROUND10 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IF THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON, IT WOULD CLEAR THE FAULT OUT. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE CAR HAS SUFFERED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE, THERE FOR COULDN'T FIX ANYTHING UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR NOW BECAUSE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOW IT'S NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION. IT'S DANGERS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND SOMETIMES WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, LIKE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE OUT OF THE 10 TIMES. I FEEL THAT THE FACT THAT I'M A COMMERCIAL DRIVER ONLY HELPED ME TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SKILLS THAT I DO, SO IF THIS HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, IT WOULD MOST LIKELY RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH WHEN I LOST THE THROTTLE. THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING BUT WITHOUT ACCELERATION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT RESTARTED AND CONTINUED. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO MERGING EXPRESSWAYS THE THROTTLE STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE VEE JUST AS THE EXPRESSWAYS MERGED. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HAD IT HAPPENED 200 YARDS AHEAD I MAY HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE ROAD. FORD FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT I AM AFRAID THAT AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE HAD A FATAL ACCIDENT. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS AN OCCURRENCE NOT TO HAVE A RECALL. *TR

THIS CAR HAS CONTINUALLY HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2012 AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER WE BEGAN LOSING POWER DURING OPERATION (A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN!). THE CAR STALLS OUT, THE WRENCH LIGHT (AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT) COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHAKES. TWO TRANSMISSIONS LATER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. HAPPENING AGAIN YESTERDAY (A WEEK AFTER WE HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN). THERE IS NO CODE FOR THE DEALER TO RECOGNIZE. THE ONLY THING WE KEEP GETTING FROM THIS CAR IS THE STRESS OF FAILURE AND SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER. CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AT IDLE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN A MILE OR SO LATER. *TR
