2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (WEST HERR FORD LINCOLN OF AMHERST, 2600 MILLERSPORT HWY, GETZVILLE, NY 14068, 716-810-1319) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA AIR BAGS RECALL WAS SENT TO ME IN EARLY 2016 REGARDING MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE WITH METAL PARTS PROJECTED TOWARD THE PASSENGER'S BODY. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ANY PASSENGERS SIT IN THAT SEAT FOR GOING ON 3 YEARS, BUT I HAD DRIVEN PASSENGERS IN THAT SEAT FOR NEARLY 6 PLUS YEARS BEFORE KNOWING OF THE PROBLEM. VERY SCARY TO LEARN OF THIS RISK. I'M EXTREMELY UPSET WITH FORD MOTOR CORPORATION FOR NOT HAVING A "FIX" FOR MY SPECIFIC AUTOMOBILE AFTER ALL THIS TIME. THE PEOPLE AT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, MIKE BROWN FORD HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD & NICE, BUT THEY ARE IN A DIFFICULT POSITION SINCE THEY STATE THEY O NOT HAVE WHAT IS NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TAKATA AIRBAG. PLUS, WHEN THEY DO HAVE A "FIX" THE DEALER HAS TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENTS IN A SPECIFIC GOVERNMENT REGULATED ORDER. MY VEHICLE IS 10 PLUS YEARS OLD AND I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN TO SOME OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RESELL THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIX THE RECALL. I FEEL I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS INCONVENIENT, AGING AND I'M HELPLESS AS A FORD CUSTOMER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT. I RECOGNIZE THAT OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURES WERE ALSO AFFECTED BY TAKATA'S POOR QUALITY AND SAFETY STANDARDS. IT TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO NOTIFY HE PUBLIC AND WAY TOO LONG TO CORRECT THE TAKATA AIRBAG TRAGEDY. THIS IS THE THIRD DIFFERENT RECALL I'M HAD ON AUTO,. FORD MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LACK OF QUALITY AND SAFETY. AND GO OUT OF BUSINESS IF THEY CAN NOT RAPIDLY PROVE THAT THEY CAN MAKE VEHICLES THAT ARE SAFE...THAT MEANS THEY NEED TO THOROUGHLY RESEARCH THEIR VENDORS FOR PRODUCTS THAT ARE USED WHEN MANUFACTURING VEHICLES SO THEY AREN'T SELLING DEATH TRAPS TO THE PUBLIC. MY UNDERSTANDING IS FORD AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS KNEW ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG BEFORE 2009...BEFORE MY VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME. I WANT A GOOD SOLUTION TO MY TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEM NOW!

I PICKED UP A SCREW IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD AND CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE SOMEONE COME CHANGE THE TIRE FOR ME. AFTER GETTING THE FLAT TIRE CHANGED TO A SPARE, MY POWER STEERING AND ADVANCETRAC EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE UPON RESTARTING THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GARAGE AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A COMPLETELY NEW POWER STEERING RACK THAT COULD COST $2,800 PLUS LABOR BECAUSE THE COMPUTER/SENSOR INSIDE MY CURRENT RACK WAS FAULTY. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT FORD FUSION MODEL YEARS 2011 TO 2014 HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME REASON, BUT 2010'S HAVE NOT. I EXPERIENCED NO ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING OR ADVANCETRAC PRIOR TO THIS. AFTER GETTING THE FLAT REPAIRED AND PUT BACK ON MY VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING CODE WAS RESET, BUT THE GARAGE TOLD ME MY POWER STEERING COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING AND I SHOULD DRIVE ACCORDINGLY IF I WASN'T GOING TO GET IT REPAIRED. I HAVE NOT HAD THE POWER STEERING FAIL AGAIN, BUT EVER SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT, MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY DESPITE THE TIRE PRESSURE BEING CHECKED AND DEEMED ACCEPTABLE MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V046000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE DEALER (MIKE CASTRUCCI FORD OF ALEXANDRIA INC, 7400 ALEXANDRIA PIKE, ALEXANDRIA, KY 41001) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.

I NOTICED TODAY THERE IS A FORD RECALL FOR 2012 THROUGH 2018 FORD FOCUS FOR A FAULTY PART THAT COULD LEAD TO ENGINE STALLS. THE RECALL STATES A MALFUNCTIONING VALVE THAT COULD RESULT IN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS AND POTENTIALLY ENGINE STALLS OR AN INABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE I AM DRIVING AND START TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR TO TURN THE CORNER THE ENGINE STALLS AND JERKS AND THEN IT GOES AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I SLOW DOWN OR TURN. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SAME SITUATION AS THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE FORD FOCUS. DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAN'T LOCK.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED CALLS FROM FORD THAT THE PAST TO FIX MY CAR ARE READY BUT WHEN THE DEALER CALL FOR THE PARTS THEY ARE TOLD THAT THEY ARE AVAILABLE. THE DEALER PUT IN A RENT A CAR A WEEK AGO AND I PUT MY CAR IN MY GARAGE.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN I CAN GET MY CAR FIXED. THIS STARTED WITH THE RECALL NOTICE 6/23/2014,
