2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

BRAKES HAVE ON TWO OCCASIONS GOT WEAKER. WHEN PRESSING ON THE PEDAL, IT WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND WAS "MUSHY" FEELING. I'M AN ENGINEER AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS TO BE IN THE ABS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. I DID SOME TESTING AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT, INCLUDING SOME OFF ROAD DRIVING PUTTING THE CAR INTO SKIDS, ETC. NEITHER COULD MY MECHANIC FIND THE ISSUE. HE HAD HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE. WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS WITH 130,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC REPLACED ALL FOUR CALIPERS (NEW SHOES, ETC) AND ENSURED THEY WERE NO STICKING.THESE TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS PAST YEAR.

TAKATA RECALL: FORD IS TELLING US WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THEN THEY WILL CONTACT US. THAT WAS OVER 2 MONTHS AGO AND STILL NO CONTACT. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGEROUS SHRAPNEL SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY.

"TAKATA RECALL" (FORD 18S01/NHTSA 18V046) - IT IS WELL OVER THREE MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ON JANUARY 11, 2018. A REMEDY HAS NOT YET BEEN OFFERED BY FORD. ASSUMING THAT ONE IS FORTHCOMING, IT CAN NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED "TIMELY".

I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR INDICATING THAT THERE IS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEFECT IS MOST CRITICAL AND URGENT. THE LETTER INDICATES THAT NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SIDE OF MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE. THE LETTER INDICATES THAT AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE AND THE LETTER DID NOT INDICATE A DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED FORD IN SOUDERTON PA TO DISCUSS BUT HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A CALL BACK.

POWER STEERING SENSOR CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE STABILITY ASSIST BUTTON AND DROVE HOME. AFTER PARKING AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, THE STEERING FEELS LIKE IT IS RESISTING.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. LOST STEERING AND CAR IS UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING

TAKATA RECALL......CALLING DEALERS TO OBTAIN AN APPROXIMATE TIMEFRAME FOR THE REPAIRS. NO ONE KNOWS. THIS YEAR? NEXT YEAR? TWO YEARS? FIVE YEARS? NO ANSWER. I SUSPECT THE RECALL IS A SCAM. WAIT LONG ENOUGH AND THE AFFECTED CARS WILL BE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE REPAIRS ARE MADE.

HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION. LF CV AXEL SEAL WAS LEAKING. TOOK CAR IN AND HAD BUSHING, SEAL, AND SHAFT REPLACED. DROVE CAR 150 MILES. SAME EXACT ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION LEAK IS A "VERY" COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. NOT ONLY DID I PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE LEAK WITH ALL NEW PARTS, BUT THIS LEAK CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO BLOW. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. HOW DOES A PERSON HAVE ALL NEW PARTS PUT IN TO FIX THE LEAK AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST??? MANUFACTURES SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BY THERE PRODUCTS AND FIX SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR IT LEAKS FLUID. WHAT WILL BE NEXT TO FIX?? MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE FORD WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.
