2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW CAME ON AND ALL POWER ASSISTED STEERING WAS LOST, NO WARNING, FUNNY HOW THEY RECALLED 2011 MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT 2010, VERY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN HAPPENED

SPONGY BRAKES. INCONSISTENT AND INTERMITTENT BRAKING. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR PURGE VALVE RECALL (THE VALVE WAS MERELY INSPECTED BUT NOT REPLACED). AFTERWARDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY WOULD CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON OR OFF. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SELL THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALER, THIS SAME PURGE VALVE INVOLVED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL BECAME STUCK OPEN. FORD WAS NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEMATIC PURGE VALVE FREE OF CHARGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRACTION ASSIST AND OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL FAILURE, AND THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE FAULT SIGN ON MY CAR AND VERY HARD TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE TO INFORM THE TRAVELING PUBLIC BEFORE BIG SAFETY ISSUE CREATED.

POWER STEERING ASSIST LOCK FAILED FOUR TIMES UPON START.I HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICE SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT COULD LOCK UP AT ANY TIME, EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DECIDED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD TO SPEND $1500 TO REPAIR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE 2010 FUSIONS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE OF LATER YEAR MODELS 'RECALL #15V340000 I CAN'T IMAGINE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND HAVING THE POWER STEERING FAIL.

TAKATA RECALL: FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR AIR BAG PROBLEM. WILL THIS BE RESOLVED SOON?

POWER STEERING FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR WHILE DAUGHTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY BETWEEN 60 - 70 MPH. DISPLAY WAS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART CAR TO CLEAR AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. POWER STEERING FAILED FOR THE LAST TIME SEPT 27, 2017 AND CANNOT BE RESET. MILEAGE IS CLOSE TO 114,000 NOW. I "MUSCLED" THE CAR TO THE FORD HOUSE ON SEPTEMBER 30 FOR DIAGNOSIS. CODES FORD PULLED ARE C200D:49 AND U3000:96. FORD RECOMMENDED "REPLACE STEERING GEAR (INTERNAL FAILURE) AND 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AFTER REPLACEMENT". COST ROUGHLY $1825.00 PLUS TAX. I DECLINED SERVICE AND I NOW HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD CAR I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON SITTING MY DRIVEWAY. SOME "GREAT FIRST CAR" FOR MY COLLEGE STUDENT. SEEMS LIKE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL I READ ABOUT ON HERE. I HAVE A 1997 FORD TRUCK WITH 315,000 MILES ON IT - I HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING HAS NEVER ONCE FAILED IN THAT AMOUNT OF MILEAGE / YEARS.
