2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

WHEN DRIVING BRAKES BECAME VERY WEAK ALMOST TO THE FLOOR, WE REPLACED THE BRAKES WITH STILL NO GOOD PEDAL. THEN WE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, ONCE IT WAS REPLACED IT WOULD NOT BLEED, AND STILL NO BRAKES. WE CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE FUSIONS WERE DIFFICULT TO BLEED ONCE MASTER CYLINDERS WERE REPLACED. WE SENT IT OUT FOR DIAGNOSTICS AT THE FORD DEALER AND WERE CHARGED $98.00. THEY CALLED AND SAID THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE BLEED BEFORE THEY COULD GIVE US AN EXACT ANSWER OF WHAT WAS WRONG AND THE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $100. THEY CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND SAID IT NEEDED A MASTER CYLINDER. WE TOLD THEM WE JUST HAD REPLACED IT. THEY SAID MAYBE IT WAS A FAULTY PART, SO WE PICKED UP THE CAR EXCHANGED THE PART AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY OTHER THING IT COULD BE WAS THE HCU AND THAT WAS ABOUT $1600 TO CHANGE. SO 2 TOW BILLS, AND $200 LATER WE STILL HAVE NO BRAKES. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WE HAVE SEEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSIONS AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ! LOSING BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS ! I WOULD LIKE A FORD REP TO CONTACT ME !

COMPLAINT INVOLVING FORD FUSION TIRE BOLTS AND LUG NUTS (2010 MODEL). THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE TIRE BOLTS BREAK (3 ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND 2 ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE). THE VEHICLE FRONT TIRE BOLTS AND LUG NUTS WERE FIXED BY THE ORIGINAL FORD DEALER FOR THE A RECALL FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE RIGHT AFTER WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010. WE'VE RECENTLY NOTICED A DIFFERENCE DRIVING (BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY) AND TOOK IT IN FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS AROSE AGAIN IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION. FORD DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE, HOWEVER WE'VE READ THAT THERE IS A LAWSUIT IN MI REGARDING SWOLLEN LUG NUTS AND WONDER IF THIS IS RELATED. FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE COLLECTED ONCE OUR REPAIR IS PAID FOR.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING, TURNED CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT DISAPPEARED. THE NEXT DAY IT REAPPEARED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NEVER TURNED BACK OFF, LUCKILY WAS DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOME & WASN'T IN DANGER OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NOW ALONG WITH THAT WARNING LIGHT CAME SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, PAID $129 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME NEARLY $2,000 TO GET MY CAR FIXED. WHY WAS THE RECALL FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ONLY FOR 2011-2013 MODELS OF THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PARTS?!?!!?!?

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY , MOVING ABOUT 50 MPH THE CHECK POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ADVANCTRAX CAME OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED DUE TO COST. 12/10/17. 85,000 MILES
