2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I WAS BRAKING ACROSS ROUGH (EXPERIENCE 1: MARCH 2017) AND ICY (EXPERIENCE 2: DECEMBER 2017) TERRAIN WHEN MY ABS REACTED TO THE SITUATION. AFTER BOTH EXPERIENCES, MY BRAKES BECAME "SQUISHY" AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET A COMPLETE IMMEDIATE STOP. IT TOOK LONGER TO BRAKE, AND I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK, AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THE SQUISHY BRAKES REMAINED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET A FULL COMPLETE STOP NOW IS TO PUMP THE BRAKES CONTINUOUSLY AS I AM BRAKING. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE ABS PUMP GOES OFF, THE OPEN VALVE GETS STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE PUMP. PUMPING THE PEDAL HELPS, BUT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

AS WE DROVE OVER THE OVERPASS, SLOWING TO COME TO A STOP SIGN ONTO THE FOUR LANE INTO TOWN, OUR CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE DRIVING LANE. WE WERE LATER TOLD THE PTU ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP INTERNALLY, MAKING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY UNMOVABLE FORWARD NOR BACKWARDS UNTIL REPLACED. NO HISTORY NOR SYMPTOMS OF ISSUES BEFORE THIS. IT WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LARGE ACCIDENT IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC, IF IT HAD OCCURRED EARLIER IN THE DAY AS IT COULD NOT BE MOVED, NOR HAD WE ANY SIGNS AT THE TIME. WE WERE STUCK IN DRIVING LANE LATE IN THE EVENING, WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK TO HAUL IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED IT, AT OUR EXPENSE, WITH THE MECHANIC, NOTING HE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF HIS OWN. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL NOR EGRESS FOR US TO RESOLVE THIS ANY OTHER WAY. WE HAVE THE PAYMENT AND SERVICE ORDER AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW. THIS IS QUITE DISTURBING, AS IT WAS OVER $1800 OUT OF POCKET FOR JUST THIS REPAIR, WHICH I FOUND WAS A MORE COMMON ISSUE THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. I FOUND OUR THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT FOR ONLY CERTAIN PLANTS, ALTHOUGH OTHERS NOTED THE SAME ISSUES AS WELL. TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN PLANTS IS A CONCERN, AS THEY KNOW OF THE ISSUE AND HAZARDS OF IT, BUT DID NOT FEEL IT PERTINENT TO RELAY THIS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO USED THEIR PRODUCT, AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT KNOWING OF RISKS. I JUST FOUND OUT OF THIS AVENUE TODAY TO HELP OTHERS KNOW OF THIS AND TAKE ACTION TO AVOID FURTHER ISSUES AND SAFETY RISKS.

ME AND MY DAUGHTER WERE ON THE WAY TO GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AND A WARNING SIGN CAME ON WITH A CAUTION SOUND SAYING POWER STEERING SERVICE NOW AND NOT EVEN 2 MINUTES LATER AS WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME SO TIGHT I COULDN'T TURN IT TO PARK AND WAS STRANDED AT A WALMART. I THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING A NORMAL SPEED. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS FORD! I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I HOPE THIS WILL BE FINANCIALLY COVERED BY YOUR COMPANY EVEN THOUGH I DON'T SEE THE RECALL ON MY 2010 BUT IT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER YEAR MODELS 🤔

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE "POWER ASSIST STEERING FAULT" WARNING CAME ON AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. I AM LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
