2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY CAR WAS NEVER REPLACED, CAUSE V & H AUTOMOTIVE, INC. NEVER GOT ANY AIR BAGS TO REPLACE IN ANY OF THE FORD CARS PER THEM AS OF 12-15-2017. SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (J.C. LEWIS FORD, SAVANNAH, GA, 912-925-0234) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 8/27/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL THE RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER ONE YEAR AGO AND NO REMEDY IS STILL AVAILABLE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, I WOULD WANT MY AIRBAGS TO WORK PROPERLY. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR FORD TO FIX IT'S CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE AIRBAGS? DO THEY NOT CARE ABOUT OUR SAFETY OR WANT US TO CONTINUE BUYING THEIR CARS?

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE IN THE MESSAGE CENTER WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON TO THE ROAD. POWER STEERING FAILED BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL BACK INTO DRIVEWAY. TURNED CAR OFF AND RETURNED LATER AND THE ERROR WAS GONE WHEN RESTARTED THE CAR. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE 11/25/2017. ALSO WHILE DRIVING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC MESSAGE APPEARED. THIS WAS BEFORE THE SECOND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE OCCURRED. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER TODAY BUT SINCE THE CODES WERE GONE FROM THE MESSAGE CENTER THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO DEALER IF THE MESSAGE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT IF I HAVE NO POWER STEERING THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

MY CAR IS PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL, WHICH WAS ISSUED OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT A REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS BEING MADE AVAILABLE.

DROVE THE VEHICLE OUT FOR LUNCH AND WAS JUST FINE. AFTER LUNCH, I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND WENT ON TO DRIVE BACK TO WORK. THAN MY STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. " SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" . LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR WHEN I BRAKED AND JUST MINOR HIT THE CURB. SO I TRIED MY BEST TO DRIVE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC AND MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT. READ SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS POWER STEERING, AND LOOKED LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD CAUSE I USE TOLLWAYS AND HIGHWAYS TO GET TO WORK AND HOME, IF THIS HAPPENED DURING THAT TIME, I MIGHT NOT BE THE ONE TYPING THIS TO YOU GUYS. HOPEFULLY THIS GETS FIXED SO OTHER PEOPLE DON'T FACE THIS SITUATION.

THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. THIS DEFECT REPORT IS IN RESPONSE TO TAKATA DIRS 16E-042, 16E-043, 16E-044.

IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION SPORT, MY BRAKES GO SOFT AND SPONGY ANY TIME THE ABS GETS ACTIVATED. AFTERWARD, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET ANY BRAKING. IF I PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES, IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY GOES SPONGY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A COLLOSAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS SEVERAL TIMES BY BLEEDING THE BRAKE LINE AND CHANGING OUT ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID, ALL TO NO AVAIL. ON SEVERAL FORD FORUMS, IT IS ALLEGEDLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. I AM GOING TO HAVE IT REPLACED, BUT FORD HASN'T SEEN FIT TO ISSUE A RECALL YET.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR A NOTICE CAME ON THE MESSAGE CENTER THAT SAID A STEERING FAULT OCCURRED. AS I DROVE AWAY THE POWER ASSIST WAS NON EXISTENT AND IT TOOK ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NOW I WORRY IT WILL REOCCUR WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION.
