2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREE WAY AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO PULL OVER BUT MY CAR WOULDNT TURN AND AN ALARM AND A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH THAT READ "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". WHEN I LOOK UP THE ISSUE I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE ON FORD FUSIONS JUST NOT MY YEAR. WHY AM I NOT INCLUDED AND WHAT SHOULD I DO? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY HAZARD AND I NEED THIS TAKEN CARE OF

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 20MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE ON THE NON-HYBRID FORD FUSION FOR WHICH FORD HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 HOWEVER FORD HAS EXCLUDED HYBRIDS AND MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE THE SAME THROTTLE BODY PART.

I WAS DRIVING TO GO PICK UP MY YOUND BOYS AT SCHOOL WENT AROUND CURVE MY POWER STEERING WENT PUT AND MY SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON AND MY SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON NO WARNING JUST WENT OUT I ALMOST HIT A TREE I CALL FORD PLACE THEY SAY I JAVE TO COME UP THERE LET THEM PUT IT ON MACHINE THAT IS 107.00 AND THEN TELLME WHATS WRONG AND THEY CAN FIX IT BUT THE PART THAT MAY BE NEEDED IS 900 DOLLARS IM A SINGLE MOM AND DNT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY IVE HAD THIS CAR LITTLE OVA 1 YR I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND BACK IN 2015 THEY RECALLED FORD FUSIONS FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS BUT THE OWNERS OF 2010 FUSIONS THAT WERE COMPLAINING WAS NOT RECALLED 2010 AND OLDER HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND IF THIS MANY PPL ARE COMPLAINING WHY HAVENT THEY RECALLED THEM ARE THEY WAITING TIL A PERSON GETS KILLED WHAT IF ITS A CHILD ALL THEY ARE GONNA DO IS SAY IM SO SORRY BUT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHY CANT WE GET OUR CARS FIXED THEY MADE THEM WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT

IN SPRING OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING IN MY MILITARY BARRACKS PARKING LOT WITH A PASSENGER THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING CAUSING THE VEHICLE FIGHT BACK FROM THE TURN. POWER STEERING FAILURE AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOTIFICATIONS APPEARED. I THEN HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING AND HAD A FELLOW SERVICE MEMBER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND WE DETERMINED TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT TO BE A RANDOM ISSUE AND CHARGED 1700$ TO REPLACE THE PIN AND STEERING RACK. TWO YEARS LATER IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER. I CONTACTED THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP IN WHICH THEY STILL CLAIMED IT TO BE A RANDOM FAULT AND IT WAS TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THE STEERING RACK AND PIN AND WOULD CHARGE ME 1700$ TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE DROVE WITHOUT DUE TO NOT BE WILLING TO PAY TO REPLACE IT AS IT WAS TOO COSTLY TO CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.

ADVANCE TRACKING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BRAKES AND WAS TOLD THAT ITS A MODULE DEFECT WHICH ONLY CAN BE REPLACED BY FORD. THIS COULD LOVK UP MY BRAKES AND POSSIBLY CAUSE ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

DROVE MY MOM'S 2010 FORD FUSION TO THE STORE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON BUT STEERING WAS FINE. AFTER EXITING THE STORE AND STARTING CAR HAD POWER STEERING FAILURE AND ADVANCETRAC FAILURE WARNINGS AND CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AFTER THAT. I'M JUST GLAD IT HAPPENED TO ME AND NOT MY MOM, SHE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND STUCK AT THE STORE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PICK HER UP

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I RECEIVED A "SERVICE POWER STEERING" INDICATOR ON THE DASH. A MINUTE OR TWO LATER I ALSO RECEIVE AN "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" INDICATOR. THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL WORKING AT THAT POINT AND I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF TO CHECK WHAT WAS WRONG. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON I RECEIVED A "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" INDICATOR ON THE DASH. AT THIS POINT THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AS IT WAS MUCH TOO DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND BROUGHT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE AND RENT A CAR AS I WAS VISITING FROM OUT OF TOWN AND HAD TO RETURN HOME. THE FORD SERVICE DEALER CALLED AND TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. $1600. OUCH

VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CODE INDICATED ON CONSOLE. RECALL AVAILABLE ON FORD FUSION 2011 - 2014. WHY WAS 2010 EXCLUDED.

2010 FORD FUSION 2.0L SLE ORIGINALLY EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THE FAULT WAS ABLE TO BE CLEARED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND WOULD REMAIN DORMANT FOR A NUMBER OF DAYS OR WEEKS. RECENTLY, MY WIFE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THE PSAF FAULT REAPPEARED AND IS NOW UNABLE TO BE RESET BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE FAULT OCCURS DURING EVERY VEHICLE START CYCLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND RUN THE STEERING WHEEL THROUGH ITS ENTIRE RANGE OF MOTION TO INDUCE A SENSOR OR ENCODER RESET WITH NO SUCCESS. IT NOW APPEARS THAT I WILL NEED TO CONTACT A DEALER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN FUSIONS PRODUCED AFTER 2010. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE OPERATED IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION.
