2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

THERE CONTINUES TO NOT BE A TIMELINE TO THE REPAIR OF THE TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO THE COMPLAIN #:10896591. WHAT IS A REASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS AIRBAG RECALL? WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE IF THE MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM?

SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON JUST BEFORE I MADE IT OVER TO A FRIENDS HOUSE. NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A FRIENDS HOUSE BEFORE WENT IT OUT BECAUSE I HAD MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 03/30/17 LJ UPDATED 05/05/2017 *JS

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE MAKING A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY. WAS ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BESIDE ME BUT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR IN THE DIRECTION NEEDED. CAR CODE CAME UP TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY". VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF NOT PREPARED WHEN THIS HAPPENS!

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND STEERING MANUALLY WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THEY CONTACTED FORD AND WERE ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS RELATIVE TO THE STEERING FAILURE. I CONTACTED THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT FUSION HYBRIDS WERE BEING RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOW CAN THAT BE?

AIRBAG SWITCHES UNDER DRIVER SEAT AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ARE ALWAYS GETTING THROWN AND CAUSE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO OFF IN DASH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER ITEM THAT IS NOT SO SENSITIVE TO PEOPLE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. WHEN THEY PUT THEIR FEET UNDER THE FRONT SEATS IT THROWS THE SWITCH AND CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON IN THE DASH.

FOR THE 4TH TIME SINCE MARCH 2015, SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM. ALL FOUR TIMES THIS HAPPENED WILL DRIVING TYPICALLY 30MPH ON CITY STREETS. ONCE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL FOUR TIMES THE POWER STEERING WOULD REMAIN ENGAGED UNTIL CAR WAS POWERED OFF AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. THE 2ND AND 4TH TIMES BOTH OCCURRED WITHIN WEEKS OF THE REPAIR BY A DEALER. AN ADDITIONAL TIME THE SAME WARNINGS OCCURRED WITH THE LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE PROVIDED WHILE MY OWN VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR THE PROBLEM. LAST REPAIR (10 DAYS AGO) COST $1600. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY FUSION WHILE IN MOTION . THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. NOW THE STOP SAFELY NOW LIGHT CAME ON WHILE IN MOTION AND THIS IS APPARENTLY THE MEC.

POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING. HAVE TAKEN TO MECHANIC TWICE WHO CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OTHER THAN TO RESET COMPUTER. STEERING WORKS FOR A FEW DAYS THEN FAILS AGAIN. TYPICALLY GET WARNING LIGHT, THEN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS. HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE, SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG FORD FUSIONS SINCE 2010.
