2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I HAVE YET TO RECV A REPAIR FOR THIS SITUATION. THIS PUTS MY ENTIRE FAMILY AND CLIENTS KNOWINGLY AT RISK. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO REGARDING A REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER SHOULD BE PART TO BLAME BECAUSE THEY CHOSE TO USE THOSE PARTICULAR BAGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND LOWER BACK AS WELL AS MINOR BRUISING, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE DEALER (BEACH FORD, 855 JASON BLVD #1, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577, (843) 839-8168) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND WITH NO WARNING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT EVEN BUDGET IT AN INCH. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN MID TRAFFIC LUCKY ME AND MY SON WHERE NOT HIT. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY 4 YEAR OLD. EVEN THE ADULT MEN THAT HELPED COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL. FOUND OUT ITS THE POWERING STEERING ISSUE THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF. THEY RECALLED 2011 AND UP BUT NOT THE 2010? NOW FORD IS TELLING ME I CAN PAY $170 TO RESET IT OR $1200 TO FIX IT. FIRST OFF THE RESET IS NO GUARANTEE IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN., SO YOU WANT ME TO PAY $1200 WHICH I DON,T HAVE OR RESET A FAULTY SWITCH THAT COULD RELAPSE AGAIN POSSIBLY KILLING ME?

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO INSIDE BUSHING WEARING OUT AND DAMAGING AXLE AT 58,328 MILES LAST WEEK. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2010 AND HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. LAST WEEK AND OUR MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE/MAINTENANCE CHECK UP. TRANSMISSION AND AXLE HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT $4300. FORD COMPANY SEEMS TO BE "AWARE" OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE FUSIONS AND THIS IS DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE, TO SAY THE LEAST. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOT HAPPY WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. DOESN'T FALL UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD IT LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS. ALSO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP CHARGES $100 JUST TO DO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TEST. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS IN TOWN CHARGE NOTHING.
