2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

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.

AS I WAS DRINGING AT 45 MPH THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND SERVICE ADVANCTRAC ALSO CAME ON. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND HAD TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I GOT IT BACK HOME , DRIVING AT A SLOWER SPEED.

LOST ALL ABILITY TO STEER CAR WHILE DRIVING DUE TO NO POWER STEERING. NOW LEARN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND RECALLED FOR OTHER YEAR MAKES AND AN INVESTIGATION IS ON GOING FOR THE 2010 ITS STILL AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND REALLY NEEDS RESOLVED.

I AM EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE ABS CONTROL MODULE, ESSENTIALLY CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY WHEN DRIVING. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTING. THE ABS 'RESETS' ONLY TO OCCUR AT A LATER DATE AND TIME. THE ABS FAILS WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS. BOTH OCCURRENCES THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED TO DATE HAVE OCCURRED IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES TRAVELING AT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED IT AS AN ABS FAILURE WITH A REPAIR COST OF 1645 DOLLARS. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES AND HAS NO HISTORY OF ACCIDENTS OR MAJOR REPAIR.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR DURING A TURN.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTICE SENT IN MAY 2018 THAT FORD IS OFFERING TO PAY FOR THE USE OF A RENTAL VEHICLE AS A MEANS OF ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO WINNER FORD IN DOVER, DE WHO KEEP ADVISING ME THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS NOR DO THEY HAVE A VEHICLE THEY CAN PROVIDE ME WITH, I AM ON A WAITING LIST KEEP CALLING BACK. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. IT IS NOW OCTOBER AND WHEN I CALLED ON 10/20 I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT IN AND NOTHING REGARDING A CAR WHEN I INQUIRED. I CALLED WILLIS FORD IN SMYRNA, DELAWARE WHO AT LEAST ADVISED ME I WAS #87 ON THEIR LIST. HOW TRUE THAT IS I DO NOT KNOW. I WAS NOT ASKED FOR MY VIN OR WHAT KIND OF CAR JUST A PHONE NUMBER I CAN BE REACHED AT.

TAKATA AIR BAGS RECALL: FORD RECALL# 18S01 & NHTSA# 18V046. I RECEIVED THE RECALL FROM JANUARY 2018. I KEEP CALLING FORD & AS OF TODAY THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT BEING MADE. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT TO DO BECAUSE MANY HAVE BEEN KILLED WITH THESE AIRBAGS EXPLODING. I SEE THERE IS A LAW SUIT GOING ON BETWEEN TAKATA & FORD BUT HOW DOES THIS HELP IN THE MEAN TIME? DEATH IS NOT A FORGIVING THING FROM A RECALL WHERE HALF THE WORK IS FAMILIAR WITH. ANY HELP TO BE HAD OTHER THAN HIRING AN ATTORNEY?

IN 2/18 FORD SENT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18501 RE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN 5/18 FORD LETTER STATING PART STILL NOT AVAILABLE. ON 10/23/18 FORD DEALERSHIP ADVISED PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AT LEAST DECEMBER. SHOULD FORD BE REQUIRED AS SAFETY PRECAUTION TO RECOMMEND I GET RENTAL CAR DUE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY IN HEAD ON COLLISION?THE FORD LETTERS RE RENTAL CAR OPTION IN MY VIEW REFERRED TO WHILE CAR IN SHOP FOR TO REPAIR. DO I ASSUME RISK OF INJURY IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR DURING VERY LONG DELAY IN GETTING PART DISTRIBUTED? FORD IS BEING IRRESPONSIBLE BY NOT RECOMMENDING CAR NOT BE DRIVEN AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD EXERCISE RENTAL OPTION.

TAKATA AIRBAG. RECEIVED ORIGINAL LETTER JULY 2016. CONTINUED TO DRIVE CAR ON MANY TRIPS, RECEIVED 2ND LETTER DECEMBER 2017 STATING THAT NO ONE RIDE IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS WAS NOT IN 1ST LETTER. TO THIS DATE NO AIRBAG. FORD TO MAIL LETTERS FOR REPAIR BY OCT 2018. NO LETTER AS OF THIS DATE. NO HELP FROM CORPORATE.FORD FINALLY GAVE US A RENTAL IN MARCH. FORD SPENT OVER $10,000 ON RENTAL COULD HAVE GIVEN US ANOTHER CAR. WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. CAR IS PARKED. PLEASE HELP!!
