2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

2010 FUSION STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON READING ADVANCETRAC POWER ASSIST WARNING. I HAD NO POWER STEERING.

TAKATA RECALL--I HAVE RECEIVED TWO NOTICES ABOUT RECALL AND HAVE BEEN TO MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME EACH TIME THAT THEY HAVE TRIED BUT CANNOT GET THE PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAGS UNDER RECALL. CAN YOU SEND THEM DIRECTLY TO ME?

TAKATA RECALL: HAVE MADE REPEATED REQUESTS TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AS TO AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. TO DATE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS FAILED TO MAKE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS AVAILABLE TO FORD DEALERS IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FOR THESE AIRBAGS WAS SENT OUT JULY 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD WEST LEST HERR (10 CAMPBELL BLVD, GETZVILLE, NY 14068, 716-698-5464). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,049.

I TOOK MY 2010 FORD FUSION INTO CROSS ROADS FORD IN SHELBY NC - TELEPHONE NUMBER 704-482-6791 FOR THE GAS TANK RECALL IN JANUARY 2017. THE RECALL IS NUMBER 15534. THE DEALORSHIP SAID THAT THEY DID THE RECALL BUT I CONTINUED TO SMELL FUEL VAPORS. IN THE MEANTIME CLASSIC FORD HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY CLASSIC FORD AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX] IS TELLING US THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND THAT CLASSIC IS NOT RESPOSNILBLE FOR CROSS ROADS MAINTENANCE ISSUES. I CONTACTED CROSS ROADS FORD AGAIN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME TO HAVE THEM TO CHECK THE ISSUE AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO EARL TINDOL FORD GASTONIA NC O N NOVEMBER 28 AND SERVICE REP THAT THE VALVE ON THE GAS TANK WAS APPARENTLY NOT FIXED OR FIXED PROPERLY. I CALLED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH THE ISSUE AND I WAS DIRECTED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (CLASSIC FORD) THAT ORGINALY PERFORMED THE RECALL. I CONTACTED [XXX] AT CLASSIC FORD ON NOVEMBER 28 AND HE SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE ISSUE. I WAS NOTIFIED ON NOVEMBER 30 THAT THE VALVE IS APPARENTLY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND THAT THIS WAS A NON COVERED CHARGE SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED. I PERCEIVE THAT THIS IS A BAD SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE VAPOR SMELL AND THE VEHICLE COULD IGNITE. I FEEL THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE I HAVE CONTINUED TO SMELL GASOLINE EVEN AFTER THE RECALL. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULD BARELY TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. GREEN FORD IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT OCCURRED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60MPH. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. PROCEEDED TO TURNED CAR OFF WAITED MOMENTARILY THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE FAULT CLEARED. CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME, PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND THE NEXT MORNING WHEN TO START IT UP. IT NOW READS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND I NO LONGER HAVE POWER-STEERING. FORD OFFERS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SITUATION I AM FACED WITH FOR MODELS OF 2011-2013, REQUEST THE ASSISTANCE OF THE NHTSA TO ORDER FORD TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO INTO THE EARLIER MODELS OF THE FORD FUSION TO PREVENT THE SAME OCCURRENCE TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE WITH THE STRENGTH TO STEER A VEHICLE THAT LOOSES POWER STEERING CONTROL MIDST THE DRIVE.

STEERING FROZE AND WOULD NOT TURN. SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON. HAD TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF 3 TIMES TO GET PER STEERING BACK. I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT EXITING WHILE THIS OCCURRED DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, AFTER JUST TURNING THE CAR ON.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I HIT A POLE ON THE HIGHWAY. BROKE MY MIRROR. NO OTHER DAMAGE. TOOK MY CAR TO FORD AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE 2 WRONG SIZE TIRES ON MY CAR AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM FIRESTONE STATING THAT THEY PUT THE CORRECT TIRES ON MY CAR. FORD IS TELLING ME THAT THEY PUT ON THE WRONG SIZE. MY RACK AND PINION IS FAULTY. NOT MY TIRES.

DROVE MY CAR TO WORK AND HOME FRIDAY AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SATURDAY MORNING, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND I HAD A MESSAGE THAT STATED "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO PAY TOWARDS THE EXPENSE OF THE CAR, STATED THE PART IS NOT RECALLED SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY CHARGED ME $1800 TO FIX THE CAR, AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX ONE OF THE RECALLS BUT NOT THE OTHER DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, THEY EVEN HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE 2010 FORD FUSION POWER STEERING. THIS IS NOT SAFE, MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER COULD OF BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN IT WENT OUT. I HOPE THIS IS NOT TAKEN LIGHTLY.
