2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: FORD IS UNABLE TO SUPPLY REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY FORD FUSION 2010 CAR. I HAVE BEEN ASKING MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR FOR WHEN THIS RECALL REPLACEMENT CAN BE COMPLETED. EACH TIME, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT GET PARTS, BUT HOPE TO HAVE THEM IN THE NEXT CALENDAR QUARTER.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD THEM PLACE AN ORDER FOR THE AIR BAG, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN IT ARRIVES. STILL NO CALL. I MENTIONED THE RENTAL CAR OPTION, AND THEY SHRUGGED IT OFF. ALSO, THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONLY 2 YEARS AGO, AND THEY ARE ALREADY GOING OUT AGAIN WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. THEY SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT SO SOON.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED THE END OF JULY 2018 FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. SHE INFORMED ME TODAY THAT FROM TIME TO TIME IT AS IF THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING IT OR WHEN SHE TRIES TO ACCELERATE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SEE THE LINK ATTACHED: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FUSION/2010/ENGINE/SUDDEN_DECELERATION_LOSS_OF_POWER.SHTML THIS WAS JUST FROM ONE WEBSITE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION, WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO CAR ACCIDENTS. SHE IS LIVING IN ATLANTA AND I AM IN ORLANDO SO SHE JUST MENTIONED IT TODAY WHEN I TALKED TO HER BUT SHE SAID IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE SHE HAS HAD IT THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY GAS TANK LEAKING FUMES. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FINE AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I THOUGHT THAT IF THERE IS A RECALL THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE DEFECT THE DATE IT HAPPEN IS WHEN I BOUGHT IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ROBINSON FORD (1777 IMPERIAL AVE, CALEXICO, CA 92231. 760-357-3141) WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE STEERING HAD FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 I DROVE TO A RUTTER'S AND WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE HOME THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THEN ON AND A WARNING LIGHT REFERRING TO THE STEERING CAME ON. I CALLED APPLE FORD DEALERSHIP IN YORK, PA AND BROUGHT MY CAR IN THE NEXT MORNING. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR COST WAS $2,200, WHICH I ENDED UP PAYING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT THE SAME ISSUE WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011 FUSION BUT NOT THE 2010. ALSO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART FOR THE TAKATA RECALL. SINCE I NEEDED A RENTAL WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING FIXED THEY PUT ME IN A LONG TERM RENTAL SINCE THE AIRBAG PART HASN'T COME IN YET. I'M HOPING THEY WILL RECALL THE STEERING RACK FOR THE 2010 FUSION AS WELL.
