2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

STEERING WHEEL RECALL. CONSTANT STOP SAFELY NOW PROMPT CAUSING THE CAR TO BE UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. IF I DRIVE FOR AN HOUR OR MORE THIS BEGINS HAPPENING AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR

TAKATA RECALL: FORD NOTICE JUNE, 2016 16S26 NHTSA REF#: 11011356 JULY 2017 THE TAKATA RECALL HAS DISAPPEARED FROM MY VIN

WHEN DRIVING - INTERMITTENTLY WARNINGS STATING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE THEN LOSES ALL BRAKE FUNCTION FORCING USE OF EMERGENCY BRAKE- HAS HAPPENED ROUGHLY 6 TIMES DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT FORD THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 5 DAYS AND STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO REPAIR IT

INTERMITTENTLY THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, MOST OFTEN WHEN THE WHEEL HAS BEEN ROTATED TO TURN THE VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE BUT REQUIRED A LOT OF FORCE. 94,000 MILES. INITIALLY, RESTARTING THE CAR FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS ONLY HELPED A FEW TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET APPROX 45MPH, BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. OBSERVED DRAMATICALLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SAFELY CONTROL VEHICLE. PULLED OVER, CHECKED VEHICLE AN OBSERVED NO APPARENT LEAKS. BRAKE FLUID WAS SLIGHTLY LOW. TOPPED IT OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND DROVE SHORT DISTANCE HOME WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. SYMPTOMS APPEAR SIMILAR TO EXISTING REPORTS ON EARLIER MODEL FUSIONS EXCEPT THAT I DID NOT ENGAGE ABS PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE.

DRIVER WAS APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH A 35 MPH SPEED LIMIT. THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW THEN RED AND DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP AT THE LIGHT. THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED AND DRIVER PROCEEDED THROUGH THE RED LIGHT INTERSECTION. DRIVER SLOWED ENOUGH A BLOCK LATER AND PULLED INTO THE OPEN GRASS FIELD NEXT TO THE POST OFFICE BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A GRADUAL STOP. TWO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. AFTER TURNING THE POWER OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN THE BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY NORMAL AGAIN AND THE WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DROVE THE CAR AND CHECKED IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, HOWEVER, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY DID NOTICE THAT SOME ERROR CODES HAD INDEED TRIPPED IN THE PAST, BUT AGAIN, COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM ($120 LATER).

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER.

TAKATA RECALL SINCE THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN AND INVOLVES RISK OF DEATH IT SEEMS THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT BY NOW.
