2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

CAR SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. DIAGNOSED AS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE AND REPLACED BY DEALER. FORD COVERS NON HYBRID MODELS WITH REPLACEMENT AT N/C TO OWNERS BUT EXCLUDES HYBRID COVERAGE FOR SAME PART ON SAME ICE ENGINE WITH SAME SYMPTOMS. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESP IN URBAN TRAFFIC SITUATION AND THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL.

AS I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE THE POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND IT BECOME HARD TO STEER.. SO NOW ITS PARKED BECAUSE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD COST $1500 TO FIX WHICH I DON'T HAVE .. AFTER RESEARCH MOST MODELS JUST 2011 AND UP HAVE THIS RECALL. I THINK 2010 SHOULD ALSO BE A RECALL THEIR ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT

TAKATA RECALL - FAILURE TO TIMELY REMEDY DESPITE BEING IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA OF HOUSTON, TEXAS AND THE CAR BEING A 2010

TAKATA RECALL- I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS RECALL IS TAKING SO LONG AND EVERYTIME WE DRIVE OUR VEHICLE WE ARE IN HARMS WAY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD TAKE SUCH A LONG TIME TO MAKE THIS REPAIR.

ON TWO OR THREE OCCASIONS AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" AND I COULD TELL THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. EACH TIME I WOULD SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND THE PROBLEM WAS RECTIFIED. ON JUNE 1, 2017, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME THE POWER STEERING NEVER RETURNED. I CALLED A FORD DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND A SERVICE TECHNICIAN GAVE ME A SUGGESTION TO DISCONNECT AND THEN CONNECT THE BATTERY. THIS DID NOT HELP. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THEY FOUND THE WHOLE STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED COSTING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1750. AFTER READING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO FORD AND ALSO TO ANY CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCIES.

WHEN THE BATTERY INSTANTLY DIED, I WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR AND HAD TO WAIT TILL THE BATTERY BUILT UP BEFORE I COULD REMOVE MYSELF FROM THE CAR. THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. RECENTLY, I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BECAUSE THE LATCH INSIDE WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR, I HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND REACH OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE MECHANIC CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE PLASTIC PIN IN THE LATCH BREAKING IN MANY OF THE VEHICLES AND COMMONLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
