2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

AT TIMES THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING, AND IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

EVERY TIME I PUSH MY BRAKES TO STOP, MY BRAKES GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I'VE REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND MY BRAKE BOOSTER BUT IT'S DONG THE SAME THING.

TAKATA RECALL - FORD HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED 6/1/2016 AND NOW IT IS 7/2018 AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. MY TWIN TEENAGERS SHARE THIS CAR, SO SOMEONE IS ALWAYS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FORD DEALER (SEELYE FORD OF KALAMAZOO, 3820 STADIUM DR, KALAMAZOO, MI 49008, (269) 375-3820) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. FORD FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT HAPPENED OVER 2 YEARS AGO. I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT BECAUSE I READ A NEWS ARTICLE THAT MENTIONED IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FORD HAS FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF A RECALL, EVEN AFTER COMPANY REPS SAID MY INFORMATION WAS UPDATED AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AFTER MY CAR'S ENGINE FAILED (IN LINE WITH THE FIRST RECALL). MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED PROPERLY AND I HAVE BOUGHT IT NEW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS DISHONEST COMPANY KEEPS OPERATING AND RISKING PEOPLE'S LIVES. I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR EVERY DAY AND IT'S UNCONSIONABLE THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED OF THE COMPANY'S FAILURES. I WILL SUE THE COMPANY FOR THEIR FAILURES.

RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2010 FORD FUSION SE 2.5 FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER, AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF OWNING IT, THE CAR WOULD ONCE IN A WHILE POP UP A "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" MESSAGE ON THE INFO DISPLAY, WHEN IT DID THIS IT WOULD DISABLE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF YOU WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR IN A PARKING LOT. PULLING OVER, SHUTTING IT OFF, AND RESTARTING WOULD TEMPORARILY CLEAR IT UP, UNTIL THE DAY THAT "STEERING ASSIST FAULT" APPEARED AND NEVER WENT AWAY.. NOW I HAVE A CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER.. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP, THEY CALLED BACK LATER AND SAID "WE CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE AFTER WE REPLACE THE STEERING RACK IT HAS TO BE FLASHED, AND THAT HAS TO BE DONE AT THE DEALER".. I CALLED THE DEALER, A $1,400 POWER STEERING REPAIR ON A FORD SEDAN? REALLY? THIS ISN'T A HIGH END GERMAN CAR.. WHY ON EARTH WOULD FORD NOT DO A RECALL FOR ALL OF THESE? DO A GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM PROJECTOR BEAMS HAVE BECOME HAZY AND CLOUDY. HEADLAMPS HAVE REDUCED BRIGHTNESS AND DECREASED VISIBILITY. MANY TIMES I CAN'T EVEN TELL THEY ARE ON IN THE EVENING AND THEY APPEAR DIM ON THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL RECALL WENT IN TO AFFECT IN 2016. AS FOLLOWS IS A SUMMARY & STATUS OF THE RECALL: SUMMARY: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD EXPLODE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. SAFETY RISK: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. REMEDY: OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THEIR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE

LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. WARNING NOTICE AFTER THE FACT: SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT.

TAKATA INFLATORS - I BELIEVE. FORD STILL DOESN'T HAVE A WAY TO FIX THE RECALL. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE A FIX BY NOW? NO ACCIDENT OR ISSUE AS OF YET, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED ASAP!
