2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: I JUST RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY FUSION IS BEING RECALLED FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO FORD, AND TO THE COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE, THE REQUISITE REPLACEMENT PARTS MAY TAKE "FOREVER" TO BECOME AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, WE DRIVE A CAR IN WHICH A MINOR ACCIDENT COULD BE FATAL BECAUSE OF THE INFLATOR. WHY ARE WE NOT ENTITLED TO USE A LOANER CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE? THE COST OF SUCH A PROGRAM COULD AND SHOULD BE PASSED ON TO TAKATA. IT IS ABSURD TO HAVE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND IN THESE TIME BOMBS.

SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE ON DASH. LOST ALL POWER STEERING AT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. NEVER RETURNED AFTER TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING. VEHICLE CURRENTLY PARKED AS I HEAR FROM ONLINE COMPLAINTS REPAIR CLOSE TO $2000.

DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AROUND 30 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LOCKED UP SOLID. CAR VEERED TO RIGHT; WENT OFF THE ROADWAY AND SCRAPED A FENCE POST ON THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL .IT IS A GOOD THING I WASN'T GOING ANY FASTER.I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED FORD WILL NOT FIX IT THERE ESTIMATE IS 1800 DOLLARS.I AM RETIRED AND CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS VEHICLE.THEY TOLD ME THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS ARE NOT ON RECALL BUT 2011 AND UP ARE HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ELECTRONIC PARTS I WAS A MECHANIC FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS MATTER .A LOT OF 2010 FORD FUSION OWNERS NEED YOUR HELP.I KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM BUT, IT WOULD TAKE ME A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE A 30 PAGE ESSAY ON THIS SUBJECT IT IS ANOTHER TATIC BY OUR CAR MANUFACTURE NOT CARING ABOUT OUR LIVES. FOR INSTANCE I AM WAITING FOR YEARS FOR MY AIR BAG TO BE REPLACED

COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE ON 2010 FORD FUSION SEL 3.0L V6. 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM NOW' WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH PRIOR TO FAILURE. COST TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM AT LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER WAS ~$1700. WAS DRIVING HOME WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION WHEN ALERT WAS DISPLAYED. WENT TO START THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING AND ALL POWER STEERING WAS GONE FROM THE VEHICLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED BEFORE INCIDENT. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED BEFOREHAND, ALTHOUGH TIRE PRESSURE WAS ADEQUATE ALL AROUND.

POWER STEERING FAILED ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION. AS MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON POWER STEERING PROBLEM. HE PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE WARNING LIGHT. I STARTED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT, THEIR WAS NO POWER STEERING. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THE COST WAS $1959.82 TO REPLACE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. FORD TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS A POWER STEERING GEAR FAILURE.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE BLOWOUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. TIRES REPLACED, POWER STEERING STILL INOPERABLE. SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW INDICATOR LIT. MAJOR DIFFICULTY TURNING WHEEL TO STEER.

THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR FORD FUSION ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNITS FAILING FOR NO REASON. NHSTA IS ALREADY AWARE OF THIS AND HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR FORD FUSION YEARS 2011-2012 AND POSSIBLY NEWER. MY CAR IS A 2010 FORD FUSION BUILT IN JUNE 2010 WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER FUSIONS WITH POWER STEERING RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT 2010 MID-YEAR BUILT MODELS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE RECALL. I TURNED ON MY CAR THE OTHER DAY AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE TRIP COMPUTER LISTED THE FOLLOWING ERRORS: "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND "SERVICE ADVANCED TRAC". NHTSA ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE THIS REASON IN THE 20111 MODEL. MY FUSION IS MID YEAR BUILT (JUNE 2010) AND IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. PLEASE ADVISE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES, WIRES, AND HAD HOOKED TO A COMPUTER AND STILL CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAVE NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. I WANT THE AIRBAGS REPLACE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP ME GET THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. THANKS.

TAKATA RECALL ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE IF A RECALL IS NOT REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER THEN FILLING OUT THIS FORM IS THE NEXT STEP. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE TAKATA RECALL IS AFFECTING A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES, I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE CONTINUE TO BE FATALITIES REGARDING THIS RECALL. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 20 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED AND IT STILL STATES THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE TO TELL ME TO PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER FROM A KNOWN POSSIBLY FATAL RECALL THAT IS NOW NEARLY 2 YEARS OLD. PLEASE ADVISE HOW AND WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED.
