2010 Ford Fusion 4-DR. w/SAB

This is me filing an online complaint: 3/25/2021 Ford manufacturer recall Number 21S12 (NHTSA Recall Number 21V158) is not being handled "in a timely manner" seeing that driver's airbag metal fragments could cause death! I only received a letter form Ford then and today is 11/30/2021 and the recall has not been remedied. I thought you might agree as I cite your website https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls it says, "If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline or file an online complaint with NHTSA." Also, please know, the last time Ford airbag "passenger" was handled, I ended up with a rental for 6-MONTHS, until they finally fixed it! I realize due to COVID there is potentially a shortage of supplies. Your website caught my attention and so I am just sending this since you advised to do so. Thanks!

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would depress the floorboard without warning. The contact then discovered that his vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The parts for the repair were initially unavailable; however, once parts were available, the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The contact stated that the dealer performed a test on the vehicle which determined that the ABS valve did not need to be replaced. The valve was flushed, and the vehicle was returned to the contact. A few months after the service, the failure returned without warning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the recall repair was a one-time free repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact pulled into a parking lot, restarted the vehicle, and pumped the brake pedal several times for the brakes to function as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The contact researched online and linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25-30 MPH, the brake pedal went to the floorboard and there was a loss of brake pressure while pumping the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with brake master cylinder failure. The contact replaced the brake master cylinder himself; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, and the dealer replaced the brake master cylinder again however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contacts daughter stated while driving at approximately 40 mph when the vehicle was struck from behind which resulted in none of the air bags inflating with the exception of the driver-side airbag which only partially inflated. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The contact's daughter sustained head and neck injuries and sought medical treatment. A police report was taken and the vehicle was towed to a local police lot. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Was driving down the highway and a light on the dashboard came on with a notification for the steering system needing to be checked. Then another notification for the power steering failure . After that car steering was very difficult. I stopped by a gas station to see if the fluids were low only to find this years model is electrical. I can no longer drive the vehicle. It was very dangerous. It happened while driving at highway speeds. We were very lucky that the it was late at night and not crowded at the time. If it had been any busier or my wife was driving it could have been very catastrophic as it randomly dropped out in casual driving.

ABS Valve failed - failure was exactly as described in Ford Fusion Recall 19S54 (extended braking period, unsafe ability to brake quickly, as brakes are depressed and then require further braking in order to stop vehicle). Thankfully, my 16 year old son mentioned the problem with decreased braking performance and immediately upon driving, I took it to be looked at because it was clearly not safe to drive. The ABS valve was detected as the problem, the recall was identified and it was towed to a Ford dealership to inspect. Upon running the VIN, they determined that though the vehicle was made in the same plant as the 19S54 recalled vehicles FOR THIS PART/ valve being stuck open, and being a 2010 Ford Fusion, it was not included in the recall. No one from Ford has been willing to even discuss resolution options. The car is currently undriveable because of the unsafe nature of the failure and the cost to repair is more than the value of the vehicle, putting undue burden on the owner for a known part failure, not to mention the known safety risk. I have talked to the Ford Customer Service department (Jessie: Employee #2079462) and Fuller Ford, Cincinnati, OH. No resolution or concern for the safety of this vehicle has been expressed by Ford leadership or locally, despite the danger this car presents with this part failure (that has already been acknowledged by Ford and NHTSA)

I have 2010 Fusion that I have brought 3 yrs ago but last year my power steering fault has been going on and off. Since the pandemic happened I did not worry because I was working for home and my children were learning from home so the stiffness of the wheel. Now that everything is getting back to normal in slowly. I took my car to the mechanic and he explained that the power steering would need to be replace and I expressed that Ford has not recalled the 2010 Fusion for the power steering fault. To have this fix they quoted me $1400 and I am now trying to get a two quote.

I own this 2010 Ford Fusion that is in great shape and only has 78,750 miles on it. About a week ago the Service Advance Trac light came on. I took it to a repair shop and they plugged in a code reader and told me that a Power Steering module was bad and an estimate to repair it was $1,800.00 dollars. I found that Ford had recalls for this same problems on there 2011 thru 2015 Ford Fusion models. I am wondering why the 2010 is not included in this recall for the same problem. I am retired and on a fixed income and cannot afford the repair cost. Please look into this.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the recall but informed the contact that parts were not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Fusion brakes have lost pressure and pedal basically goes to the floor before it engages. There is a recall on this (19V904000) but was cut off a few months before mine was built. I have had brakes changed, bled, and master cylinder inspected to be told it’s the same problem as the recall, except not covered on mine. I want to make NHTSA aware this problem is bigger than the covered recall and Ford will not do anything for me. Also, the same with my purge valve. I’ve had a trouble with my vehicle starting, always after filling up gas, even have a code stating it is my evap/purge. Recall (15V793000) again, my vehicle falls outside of the recall so Ford will not help. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to encourage Ford to assist with at minimum the faulty breaking system, preferably both issues. Either way, I wanted to submit the issue so NHTSA has record of the ongoing issue with Ford. Thanks :-)

The vehicle's power steering shut off completely upon turning on the vehicle. Dashboard message appeared "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" - In the past the vehicle has demonstrated intermittent power steering failure including a few times while driving. On these very few occasions (twice to be exact) - once in a very safe residential area pulling out of a parking space and once while taking the exit ramp on a hig-traffic interstate putting the owner and passengers and other drivers at risk --- the owner was able to stop the vehicle safely, place in park and turn off engine very briefly and turn on vehicle and the power steering would return. However, the latest message is constant and power steering fluid level is normal but Power steering has not returned. Owner has taken a car to a repair shop and the lead mechanic has stated that this isn't the first time that a Ford Fusion has shown up with this mechanical failure. Utilizing the VIN # the mechanic was unable to confirm a callback for powersteering failure for the FOrd Fusion 2010 but did verify that similar issues have caused a callback for the Ford Fusion later models (2011-2014).

Upon start up my power steering assist fault message would appear I would shut the car off and restart the light would not come on and would drive fine. On 10/21/21 I lost all power steering. I’ve seen where the 2011 and 2012 models were recalled for the same issue. Just trying to figure out why this model was not. My car has 48500 miles this is not a problem a car with this low mileage should have

This link is to a video of my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid that chronically experiences break system failure. This problem seems to be an electrical malfunction as the break system resumes working when the the alerts disappear from the dash. I purchased this Ford in December 2020 and began experiencing this problem in January 2021. This has been an ongoing issue for me and I have taken the Fusion Hybrid to Sunnyvale Ford once for this issue this year without a successful solution to what the malfunction is for my car. After researching this problem online, it was found thousands of fusions are experiencing this problem under a recall for the hydraulic unit for the breaking system. Ford continues to say my vehicle's vin doesn't have a break system recall. However, this very dangerous break system failure malfunction continues to resurface and remains a safety issue. Please see the video of my break system failure in the link below: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pmi7MMFC8fS81Ab56 [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing a 7-10 feet stopping distance delay. The warning message "Reset Brake System" was illuminated. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000

Car showed "Power Steering Assist Failure" at random points in time and steering is hard to move. Turning off the car and restarting would make the message go away. This had been occuring for a few years on and off. Problem did not occur at dealership, so no repairs could be identified. For past 6 months, the frequency of this incident was increasing. Last week, the message would not go away despite multiple restarts. Diagnosis by dealer was that steering gear needed to be replaced.

While driving vehicle in normal weather conditions, power steering suddenly went out unexpectedly while driving myself, mother, and grandmother to the store. There was no warning and car was driving just fine prior to the power steering failure. Had to pull off road and call tow truck as i was unable to steer vehicle which was extremely dangerous. I am thankful I was not on freeway. Once power steering went out, power assist failure light came on dash. Car was towed to Ford dealership and was told dtc u3000 code came up when scanned meaning power steering gear (rack and pinion) needed to be replaced and car no longer drivable. Repair cost $2200 at Ford dealership. Car still not repaired as I can’t afford the repair. I understand some 2010-2015 fusions had same problem and were recalled and repaired. Frustrated as my vehicle has not been recalled for same issue as other models. Car has 133,000 miles and always been maintained.

3 days ago when coming to a stop light, my brakes was not working properly and when it was not going to come to a stop I pressed really hard on the brakes (There was no cars in front of me but if there was I would definitely hit them) and than I felt my brakes going all the way down to the floor. Every since than when I am driving I have to press really hard on the brakes for a long time before it comes to a stop.

Brakes stopped working, pedal went to floor, ABS warning appeared. Took it to repair shop, replaced front and rear pads and rotors, but brakes still did not work, ABS warning again. Took it to dealer who confirmed faulty ABS control unit. Dealer said this car is not covered by a recall of same or similar part in late 2019 as this car is a hybrid and the recalled ones are not. Brakes now work but without power assist. Car has 100,000 miles on it.

I was driving my 2010 Ford Fusion and my wheel locked-up. It felt as if the power steering had gone out. Very, very tough to turn the steering wheel. I did my best to pull over safely. I have my car at a local shop saying they have seen this issue on 2013 Ford Fusions. The mechanic recommends I ask Ford to warranty the parts needing replacement since these are the same parts/issue on Recall number 19V632000 and/or 19S26. Steering: Electric power assist system.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF A BRAKE ISSUE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #19V904000. HAVE HAD VEHICLE EXAMINED AND DIAGNOSED AT PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT ALL LIKELY CAUSES OF ISSUE INCLUDING MASTER CYLINDER AND AIR IN SYSTEM, WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. FORD DEALER SAYS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL BUT IT CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS MUSHY WITH EXCESSIVE TRAVEL PRIOR TO ENGAGING. IN A PANIC STOP SITUATION WOULD LIKELY NOT STOP THE VEHICLE.

Went to leave work one night and backed up and the power assist come up on the dash... now I got to fix it.... I've seen so many complaints about it. Fixing it and selling it.

There is an existing recall (19V904000) for my model year Ford Fusion vehicles for the ABS control module. The recall is vin specific. The risk is that a valve in the control unit fails to close and the vehicle looses its ability to stop. My vehicle’s ABS control module has failed due to this sticking valve. I believe my vehicle should be included in the recall due to it having the exact same part as the recalled vehicles and the part failing. Ford is unwilling to fix the problem under the recall.

ABS module malfunctioning consistent with previous ABS module recall despite the car not being on the recall list. Brakes went out as I was turning into a parking lot, nearly hitting the car in front of me. Brake System maintenance light came on and despite changing worn out front brakes and calipers the lights remain on and the pedal requires pressing down on the brakes all the way to the floor to engage the brakes.

As I was driving the steering wheel just locked/hard to turn and in the dashboard it said “service power steering now” without any warnings.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, she attempted to make a left turn and the power steering assist failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The advanced stabilitrak and the power steering assist fault warning lights are illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact pulled off to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Power steering assist fault light came on and steering is locked up! Had someone hook a computer up to the car and have codes. Ford tells me they can’t tell me what the codes mean and I have to pay $144 for a diagnosis, then whatever repair costs to fix! I’m a single mother and can’t afford the repair costs!!

Power steering assist failed multiple times while driving and has now gone out completely. I loose all easy control and for a 74 year old woman it's not safe I see there is a lot of recalls for this but not on this car

Power Steering Assistance fails intermittently. Have replaced the steering module 2 times. This will be the 3rd fix in less than 2 years. Very dangerous as this can fail at anytime.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, without warning the vehicle began to violently shake. The contact mentioned that an abnormal odor appeared from the passenger's side wheel as the brake failed to engaged properly. The contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road, turned the vehicle off and back on which resumed back to normal. The contact stated that the failure recurred 5 additional times. No dealer was contacted. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The contact mentioned NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) as a possible solution to the failure however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage approximate 89,000

Brakes would go to floor then Brakes stopped working. Had car looked at and mechanic said it is the same problem as recall and would not fix because of recall. Called local Ford and they said VIN is not part of recall and offered no help.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the steering wheel failed to turn with the power steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact called the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the local dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

I am filing a complaint because Ford has not addressed the open recall regarding the ABS brake issue in a timely manner. This recall was opened in December 2019 with parts expected to be available late first quarter 2020, according to the recall bulletin. Here it is almost 1.5 years later with no resolution. Here is the recall I am referring to: Dec 18,2019 Manufacturer Recall Number19S54 NHTSA Recall Number19V904 Recall Status Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available

Occasionally the power steering system will fail as the vehicle is moving. It has occurred several times and always at low speeds. This could easily cause an accident. I have not had the problem analyzed. The dash will display a “Power Steering Assist Fault “ message as the failure occurs.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would be depressed to the floorboard without warning. The contact also stated that additional braking distance was needed for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where they informed him that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided the same information as the dealer. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000.

brakes faded away to nothing. I put on new master cylinder and could not bleed brakes. took it to dealer they had trouble bleeding brakes and returned car to me with brakes way down to floor saying it's o k. abs hydraulic control unit malfunction? varney ford newport, maine so# 70000

The electronic steering assist failed twice within 10 days. The last time it happened the steering assist wouldn't work at all. The vehicle is not able to be driven in its present state without steering assist. Both times it happened the car was not moving so no accidents occurred. I did not take it in to be serviced. I do most of my mechanic work myself. The fuses are good. I disconnected the battery for a few days and tried it again and it still doesn't work. From online research I found that the 2011 and 2012 fusion models were recalled from this issue and there is an open investigation by the NHSTA of the 2010 fusion steering assist motor. The vehicle and part has not been inspected. I removed it today 7-30-2021 and plan on installing a re-manufactured electronic steering assist rack and pinion. There is a core charge so I'll be returning the part to the re-manufacturer. There were no warnings, just the message on the dashboard that the electronic steering assist had a problem. It happened the first time on 7-10-2021 and the second on 7-15-2021. The vehicle has 159,000 miles.

THE STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING TO THE CAR QUIT WORKING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A COLLISION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. 2011 THROUGH 2015 HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS A 2010 WITH THE SAME PART NOT RECALLED.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

Loss of steering assist while driving. Steering wheel got very hard to turn vehicle. The following message appeared after loss of steering: "POWER STEERING ASSIT FAULT, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". Scanned codes: U3000-96 and C200D-49. Brought vehicle to Dealership for full diagnostic and awaiting response

brakes kept fading and going further to floor. changed master cylinder and could not get brakes back by bleeding. abs modual?

Unknown. Ever since I owned the vehicle it has had this soft braking pedal. I've found out it's the ABS module.

I'm writing a complaint because my passenger side airbag was recalled and I was contacted very fast and it was done quickly and this time it's been almost 6 months and I have not received any more word of when they will have the parts. I'm thinking of trading my car in, so that was the number one reason why I'm writing a Complaint, cause if I don't have the car anymore, then it might not get fixed for mths n mths, thank you! My email is [XXX] or call me @ [XXX] please! Also because I have other work that needs redone asap. on my car after it got out of the body shop a while ago INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after entering the vehicle, there was an abnormal gasoline odor inside the vehicle. The contact stated that the gasoline odor was much more evident after refueling. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with the front fuel tank leaking and needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 15V793000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that the recall repair had been performed in 2016. The failure mileage was approximately 158,468.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the parts for the recall repairs were unavailable. The dealer had been notified about the recall however, the contact was informed that the parts were not yet available. The manufacturer had been notified of the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

There was a recall on the make and modal of my car for the fuel system. The problem was with the pressurization in the fuel tank causing a leak through a crack in the tank (caused by the pressurization.) Unfortunately this occurred on my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. But the company will not recognize it because my VIN number is not on their list. This is a very scary and unsafe situation to be in. The company has no interest or want to look into it. The check engine light only came on after too much damage had occurred from the pressurization, leaving me with a cracked tank and fuel actively leaking out causing a very dangerous situation.

While reversing out of my driveway, my dash showed an alert saying "power steering assist failure". I had only manual steering, making it very hard to turn the wheel. I pulled back into the driveway safely. I looked that alert up online to see what to do, and I have found that THOUSANDS of others have had the exact same issue. I took it to the mechanic and they can't find any problem. How am I supposed to feel safe driving this car when thousands of other people are saying they have the same issue. I am even more alarmed that 2011 and 2012 ford fusions were recalled for this issue but not 2010? I feel very unsafe to even drive the car, even though the message has now gone off my dashboard without even fixing it....

The power steering does not work at low speeds-it seems to work ok when I am going fast and I have a few friends/family that have Ford Fusions that have the same problem. I cannot turn without using every muscle in my arms to turn the vehicle, making driving almost impossible. The first time it occurred I was turning into my driveway and almost went down the embankment. I was stopped by a huge rock and messed up the whole front end! I got that fixed a little, the bumper is hung by zip ties and four mechanics I talked to do not know how to fix it because there is no power steering pump.

When traveling at any speed I have to press on the brakes harder and press the pedal further and it take the vehicle longer to stop.

The tail lights do not work-I have also taken this to four mechanics and they cannot see what the problem is because when I brake (there is a lag in stopping time also) the brake lights come on. I cannot drive at night because of this.

My brakes have failed three times between November of 2019 and May of 2020. The first incident was while I was backing out of our garage. Without warning, my brakes failed causing me to come to a very slow stop, almost hitting our brick fence. After the brakes failed, the entire dash lit up red. I immediately put the car in park and left it there until the tow truck came to take it to the brake shop. The brake shop inspected it and stated that all the components looked fine and that they could not duplicate the problem. When I went to pick up the car, the mechanic was backing it out of the bay and the brakes failed again. Because they were not sure what would cause it to happen since all the components appeared in good condition, out of precaution, they replaced the master cylinder and bled the brake lines. The car performed well until May of 2020, when they failed again, only this time the car was in drive. My husband had just pulled out of the school parking lot, so he was already at a low speed, but the brakes failed as he tried to stop. As in my experience, the pedal went to the floor before coming to a stop and then the dash lit up in red. He drove the car home and we then had it towed to the dealership. The dealership indicates that there was nothing visibly wrong with the vehicle and they could not replicate the problem, but because the car had 6 codes regarding the brake system, they would need to replace the master cylinder, the module HCU, ABS module, brake booster, and then reprogram the brake system. I've contacted Ford Customer Relations as there were recalls regarding the brake systems on other Fusions, but they can't do anything for me because the car's VIN is not showing any recalls except the airbags. The dealership indicated that I would have to do all of the above repairs or they wouldn't do any at all, as it was a safety issue.

While driving (Luckily) at lower speeds of about 15mph on two separate occasions, lights illuminated on the dashboard (Brake light, Service Advancetrac, and ABS) and the brakes hardly worked at all and had to stomp on them to get the car to slow, who knows what could have happened at highway speeds or traffic. I also have read of HUNDREDS of other reports of the same issues happening at highway speeds as well. There has been a recall so far referencing "19V904000" Though this does cover some of the affected models, the dates should be extended because the same issue covered in this recall is happening to HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS more customers needing the same parts replaced. So in my opinion this is the same issue as the recall and there is plenty of proof and we should look out for the safety of the customers as well as the families on the road traveling.

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM VISITING FAMILY MEMBERS WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS, MY STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO STEER. POWER STEERING ASSITS FAILURE ALONG WITH SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC MESSAGES HAD APPEARED ON MY DASH. STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO STEER. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN IT CLEARLY HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES IN THE PAST FOR THIS MODEL. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT SAID ISSUE, BUT BASED ON MY VIN NUMBER, THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE RECALLED, HOWEVER, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME TO BELIEVE THIS INFORMATION. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND ON THE WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THERE IS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE. I AM SOOOO MAD BECAUSE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED, PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER. ALTHOUGH I AM THANKFUL TO GOD THAT NOTHING BAD REALLY HAPPENED. ONCE AGAIN FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION

My car is showing the same break pedal symptoms as listed on the NHTSA 19V-904 recall but Ford didn't sent me this recall - their recall 19S54. I became aware of the recall because I initially took my car to a mechanic that has a friend who is a mechanic that works at Ford that said that this would likely be the problem. Called Ford manufacturing and they asked to go to a Ford shop to run diagnostics. I went to a Ford dealership, they ran the diagnostics and have no idea what's wrong. They said that there's no error codes being reported and I don't have any lights turned on due to an error. The car has the soft pedal issue and goes all the way down and breaking is impaired. Called Ford again today and the case CAS-32032947 was closed because this recall is not listed for my vehicle. I asked for Ford to via the Ford dealership mechanic to verify whether or not this is the problem because I've checked and there's a ton of cases online where other Ford Fusion owners were switching parts and it didn't fix the problem and therefore, I'm trying to avoid paying expensive repairs that will not address the issue. I'd like my car to be reviewed if it has this problem or not and I already took it to a Ford dealership as mentioned above and they have no idea what's wrong with the breaks. Diagnostics paperwork attached.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while reversing out of the driveway, the brakes failed and the ABS was engaged. The contact stated that while the brake pedal was depressed the vehicle was shifted into drive however, the vehicle would not stop instantly and continued to move forward before stopping. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to bring in the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,900.

The rack n pinion motor failed while driving at highway speeds. Complete loss of steering mad it an extreme hazard to safely exit the road. This occurred suddenly without warning.

I purchased this vehicle March 24th and was not aware of the airbag recall that would be issued the next day. I called the Ford dealer in Bloomington, IL in regards to the recall I was aware of on March 23rd and was told that the recall was on backorder and they had no information about when it would be available. I was not informed of any safety concerns in purchasing or driving the vehicle. On May 16, my daughter was in an accident driving this vehicle. She was hit directly on the driver side. The airbags did not deploy. Her forehead broke the driver side window resulting in cuts to her head, eyelid and concussion. The police officer who responded to the scene said that he was surprised the airbags did not go off in this severe of a crash. My car insurance has determined the vehicle a total loss. Title is being turned over to State Farm.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA Recall Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

Vin tool confirms parts not available

I have contacted Woody Anderson Ford Dealership in Huntsville, AL and the dealer is giving me the run around about the recall. I have provided the same information multiple times and the dealership refuses to order parts for my vehicle. The last recall (Passenger Airbags replaced) for the same vehicle was just as bad. It this same dealership 3 years to replace the affected airbags. I can not wait this long again. Ford Motor Company called me last time and told me that the car was not safe to drive. Now, this recall affects the driver side Airbags again for the same reasons. I offered to pay for the Driver's side air bag, but was told there was nothing wrong with the airbags.

upon starting my car the electronic assist stopped working and would not come back on. I had to get the whole steering rack replaced at around 110,000 miles because it is highly unsafe. parts and labor was $900.

While accelerating in my car, the transmission felt like it was slipping and jerks into gear. it happens anytime I go from a stop in the first few gears. It is very dangerous if I would have to move out of the way of traffic.

Out of the clear blue the car Failed to Stop unless pump brakes several times , my Daughter was driving and almost wrecked and made it home safely. Upon safety and recall investigation there was a recall 19S54 Brakes Hydraulic failure for 2010 Ford Fusion however Vehicle Vin was not included. i tried to order the part my self but it could not be sold to me. Ford dealership tried to order the part and could not get it. Called Ford relations and they stated the vehicle needed to be taken to Ford Dealership to be diagnosed to see if the HCU is bad and if so the dealership file an internal claim to cover under the recall. Vehicle was taken to Sames Ford Bastrop TX 78602 and diagnosed that the HCU was bad and met the recall requirements. Internal Paperwork was filed. Part was ordered and arrived 2 weeks later. Vehicle was in the Ford Dealership shop and tech was performing the Air Bag recall at the time. I called to check status and service Center said I would get a call from the service director. Service Director called and told me one of the tech wrecked my car because of the brakes issue since the HCU module was not installed yet. Service director told me they would cover the labor but Ford refused to pay for the HCU module. This clearly meets the Safety recall and now the Dealership has to fix the car from the wreck caused by this recall. I called ford relations and they told me there is nothing they can do to add my vehicle to the recall claim. They stated I would need to write a letter to Ford Consumer Affairs about my situation. My stance is Ford should pay 100% , the dealership diagnosed and now wrecked my car because of the HCU failure and have not had my vehicle in 3 weeks!

DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY NEED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I STOPPED TO BUY GAS AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR.

RECEIVED AN "ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM" FAULT WARNING AND MY BRAKES FAILED. ABS SYSTEM HAS FAULTED, AS WELL AS, ENGAGES DURING STOPS NO MATTER THE SPEED. HAS DIFFICULTY COMING TO A FULL STOP UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION IS DISENGAGED. THERE IS A RECENT RECALL FOR THIS MODEL, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL NOTICE. SAFETY RECALL 19S54 – ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT VALVE FUNCTION – 2006-2010 FORD LINCOLN & MERCURY

I FILLED THE GAS TANK ON THE WAY HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. NEXT DAY THE GARAGE HAS STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND A TINY PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. GOOGLED AND SAW FORD HAD RECALL IN 2016. BOOK APPOINTMENT WITH FORD AND DROVE CAR IN. THEY SAY CAR WAS INSPECTED IN 2016, CHARGE $135 FOR INSPECTION THEN ASK FOR APPROX $1000 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. I DECLINE AND SEEK ANOTHER SHOP. DRIVE CAR HOME AND THE WORST IS MUCH WORST. HAVE CAR TOWED TO NEW SHOP. NEW SHOP SAYS FUEL PUMP IS FINE, BUT THE TANK HAS A LEAK ON TOP (WHICH IS WHAT THE 2016 RECALL WAS TO AVOID). NOW I AM LOOKING AT APPROX $900 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD SHOULD COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL OR AT LEAST COVER THE $400+ COST OF THE TANK AT A MIN. THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND POTENTIAL FIRE THAT COULD HAVE EASILY GONE UNNOTICED IF I HAD NOT PARKED INSIDE THAT NIGHT (CAR USUALLY STAYS OUTSIDE). THE MECHANIC AT THE NEW SHOP WAS NOT SURPRISED AND SAID TANKS ARE NOW OFTEN BEING REPLACE ON THESE CARS. THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER A WEEK AND WILL BE AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE AND GET THE REPLACEMENT WORK DONE.

CAR CONSTANTLY HAVE BRAKES, STEERING, FUEL, AND AIRBAGS PROBLEMS

PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR GETS WET EVERYTIME RAIN/SNOW. RECALL COVERS OTHER YR FORD'S : 15B21 THIS IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME AND CAN'T PUT NOTHING ON FLOOR AND WHEN IT'S COLD FEET GET COLD.USING PAPER TOWELS/ TOWELS/ MILDEW SPRAY.PLEASE HELP SO IT CAN BE LOOKED AT.I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

WHEN I START THE CAR JUST ABOUT EVERY 4-5TH TIME THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING WILL COME ON AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 BRAKE SYSTEM... THE PEDAL GOES DOWN FURTHER THEN IT SHOULD AND ITS SOMEHWAT HARDER TO BRAKE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT IT IS BUT CAN TRY A FEW THINGS FOR $3000 AND IT MAY FIX THE PROBLEM OR IT MAY NOT. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SEEMS FORD HAVE A VOLUNTARY RECALL BUT I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH THE YEAR AND MANUFACTURE DATE IS IDENTICAL TO THOSE CARS HAVING THESES BRAKING ISSUES... IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

MY SON WASN'T ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. HE WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY. I SAW OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE NO BRAKES. AND I HAVE NO BRAKE FLUID GOING TO MY LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER. I HAVE CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOLLOWED ALL EVERYTHING IT SAID ON HOW TO CHANGE IT AND TO BLEED IT. I ALSO HAVE CHANGED THE ABS MOTOR AND DID THE SAME THING BLEED IT AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS. I ALSO CHANGED THE LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER OUT WITH THE BRAKE HOSE AND STILL NO BRAKES OR PRESSURE. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR GOING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I ALL SUDDEN I HAD NO BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT HAPPENED ON A STREET IN ILLINOIS BY MAZON ON GRAND RIDGE BLACKTOP THAT STREET IS CALLED COUNTY ROAD 3000 AND ALSO NORTH 21ST ROAD

I CURRENTLY GOT A LETTER STATING THAT IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY EXPLODE CAUSING SHARP MENTAL FRAGMENTS TI COME OUT WHICH WOULD HIT THE DRIVER AND POSSIBLY OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN FORD WON'T DUE ANYTHING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED NOR ARE THEY WILLING TO GET ME IN A SAFE CAR THAT DOESN'T RUN THE RISK OF KILLING MY CHILDREN. I WAS ALREADY IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND IF IT WERE IN THIS CAR IT WOULD MOST LIKELY KILL MY CHILDREN. WHY IS THIS SOMETHING THAT FORD WOULDN'T ALLOW DRIVERS TO GET PARTS FASTER OR PUT OWNERS IN SAFE RENTAL CARS?

2010 FORD FUSION POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING KEEPS COMING ON AND STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF POWER STEERING. IF YOU RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES, SOME TIMES THE POWER STEERING STARTS WORKING AGAIN. PROBLEM IS GETTING WORST AND BEEN ON GOING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V158000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WADE FORD, INC. (3860 S COBB DR SE, SMYRNA, GA 30082, (770) 436-1200) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. AND THE BRAKES WENT OUT. I ALMOST HAD A CAR ACCIDENT AND NOW THE BRAKES ARE HARD TO PRESS DOWN. THE DASH SAYS ABS AND BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

FROM DAY OF PURCHASE THERE HAS BEEN A FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. WHEN I CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD IT JUST SMEARS. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT CAST A LIGHT FAR ENOUGH IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ON LOW BEAM. EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING MUST HAVE HIGH BEAMS ON AND FOG LIGHTS AT ALL TIMES, PLEASE CHECK THIS

THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH BROKE ON THE INSIDE MAKING THE LOCKING MECHANISM NOT WORK OR THE OUTSIDE LATCH . I HAVE SEEN A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS AND MAKES FOR THIS BUT NOT MINE .

I KEEP HAVING A ERROR CODE COME UP ON MY DASH THAT SAYS ' POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT !' MY CAR WHEEL WILL LOCK UP RANDOMLY ; RESULTING IN ME NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL . I HAVE TO PARK, TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON . IT'S BEEN DOING THIS RANDOMLY ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO ENDANGER MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY FAMILY'S IF I DO NOT GET TOO THE BOTTOM OF THIS . I'VE SEEN THERE WERE SIMILAR RECALLS WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL BUT MY CAR YEAR WAS LEFT OUT OF THIS RECALL, NOT SURE WHY! ONLINE QUOTED FOR THIS REPAIR IS OVER $2000 AND IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FAULT IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED .*DT

HAD NO POWER STEERING. HAD MULTIPLE FAULT LIGHTS ON DASH. THE FAULT LIGHTS WERE "POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT" AND "ADVANCE TRAC." FUSION HAD 97,800 MILES. THE CAR WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. DID NOT DRIVE CAR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I COULDN'T. POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE SHOPPING. FINALLY HAD A VERY COSTLY REPAIR DONE. THEY REPLACED THE GEAR ASSEMBLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON OTHER FORD FUSION MODEL YEARS. WHY WAS A RECALL NOT DONE ON THE 2010?

OVER A DOZEN TIMES, BEGINNING MARCH 2021, WITH ABOUT 109000 MILES, THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND AT TIMES AT A STOP LIGHT (THE CHECK BRAKE/ ALL TRAC LIGHT AND CHIME COME ON, BUT IF THE RADIO IS ON, IT IS NOT HEARD). THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED ALMOST ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO REGAIN BRAKING POWER, BUT IN ALL OF THE INCIDENTS I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD, PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IN HARM'S WAY. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED, ON MOST OCCASIONS THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL FOR A WHILE (SOMETIMES, THIS HAS TO BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THIS "FIX" WORKS). HOW CAN THIS HAZARD NOT BE ADDRESSED WITH ALMOST 200 COMPLAINTS? THANK YOU.

AFTER A BRAKING EVENT IN WHICH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, THE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT/SPONGEY AND SINKS TO THE FLOOR MORE THAN IT USUALLY WOULD. THE CAR CAN STILL STOP, BUT IT REQUIRES A MUCH LARGER APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL (75% PUSHED IN VS 30% FOR EXAMPLE). THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ONE EVENT OCCURRED WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATED DUE TO ICE ON THE ROAD, THE SECOND EVENT OCCURRED DUE TO BRAKING WHILE HYDROPLANING (ABS WAS ACTIVATED). AFTER THE MOST RECENT EVENT IN WHICH THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT, I WAS ABLE TO GET NORMAL BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY BY REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE PEDAL WHILE STATIONARY. THE PRESSURE DID NOT GRADUALLY BUILD IN THE PEDAL AS WOULD BE EXPECTED IF THERE WAS AIR IN THE LINE, IT WAS LIKE FLIPPING A SWITCH - ONE PRESS WAS SPONGEY AND THEN THE NEXT WAS NORMAL. I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO GET THE PEDAL BACK TO NORMAL BY BRAKING HEAVILY TO CAUSE THE ABS TO REENGAGE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THIS EXACT CAR FOR THIS EXACT YEAR BUILT IN THE SAME FORD PLANT (MEXICO) BUT THIS SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY ABS UNIT IN WHICH THE VALVES GET STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE FLUID TO CIRCLE THROUGH THE UNIT RATHER THAN APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED. THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY THE PEDAL GOES BACK TO NORMAL - THERE IS NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM OR ANYTHING, THE VALVE IS GETTING STUCK OPEN AND THEN BECOMING UNSTUCK. THE RECALL NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE IS 16V250000. THIS VEHICLE IS CLEARLY EXHIBITING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THE VEHICLES IN THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL AND IS THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, AND IS ALSO BUILT IN THE SAME FORD PLANT AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR MY STEERING ASSIST DECIDED TO GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AS I WAS DRIVING A MESSAGE STATING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP ON THE DASH. NOTICED IT BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE. I AM JUST GLAD I WAS THE ONE DRIVING AND NOT MY RECENTLY LICENSED SON. AFTER LOOKING UP THE ISSUE ONLINE I NOTICED IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR ISSUE WITH THESE CARS.

THE POWER TRAIN OR ELECTRIC MODULE IS OUT OR GOING OUT. THERE SHOWED TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS.

MECHANIC SAYS THE ABS VALVE IS STUCK OPEN AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY FORD. FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WASN'T PART OF THE 2010 FORD FUSION RECALL FOR ABS BREAKS?

I HAVE A ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LIGHT I CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE AND POWER STEERING

''POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. THE POWER STEERING IN MY VEHICLE WAS RENDERED COMPLETELY USELESS. FORTUNATELY THIS OCCURRED WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING INSTEAD OF MID-DRIVE WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC AS THE CAR IS ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

STEERING QUIT WORKING , ALMOST WRECKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ELECTRIC STEERING HAS FAILED ON THIS CAR. 2007, 08,09, 11, 12 HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN 2009 IT'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, OVER 1600.00 REPAIR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND REQUIRED EXTRA EFFORT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.*DT

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR LOSS POWER FROM 60 DOWN TO 30 HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN VERY SCARY SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY . AFTER SRI 15 MINUTES OR SO THE CAR STARTED BACK UP .HAD FORD RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SECOND TIME DID THE SAME THING ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATER ANOTHER SCARY SITUATION SAFELY PULLED OVER AND WAITED 15 MINUTES AND CAR STARTED, WAS FINE FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS . ALSO HAD TWO SITUATIONS WHEN BRAKES DIDN'T WORK ABS LIGHTS CAME ON WITH OTHER LIGHTS PERTAINING TO BRAKES HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR DOWN FOR AWHILE . TURN CAR ON AND THEY WERE FINE . AGAIN I WANT TO EMPHASIZE VERY SCARY SITUATION. DATES INCIDENTS OCCURRED 09/10/2019 AND 09/24/2020 ENGINE SHUT DOWN , BRAKES SITUATION 09/15/2020 AND AGAIN ON 04/04/2021.

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AND THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' MESSAGE CAME UP ON MY DASH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 4 MILES WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY BUT THE STEERING JUST WOULDN'T TURN. I IMMEDIATELY FREAKED OUT. I KEPT GOING STRAIGHT FOR A BIT AND I THEN TRIED TO FORCE IT TOWARDS THE RIGHT SHOULDER (THANKS GOODNESS I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE ALREADY) BUT AS I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THE CARS BEHIND ME WOULD HONK AND THE PASSAGENS WOULD STARE AT ME WHILE PASSING LIKE IF I WAS TRYING TO MESS WITH THEM ON PURPOSE. THAT WAS SCARY AND EMBARRASSING. TURNED THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND PULLED OVER TO CALL A FRIEND WHO KNOWS A BIT ABOUT CARS. I WAS TOLD I WAS OK TO FORCE THE STEERING IN ORDER TO GET HOME, ALTHOUGH I WAS SO SURE IT WAS GOING TO LITERALLY BREAK AND COME OFF IN MY HANDS. AFTER AROUND 13 MILES I GOT HOME AND MY NOW BOTH ARMS ARE TOTALLY SORE AND I'M NOT KIDDING. I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR INTO MY SMALL GARAGE SINCE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IF THE CAR IS FULLY STOPPED. THE CAR IS THERE... PARKED AND USELESS. I JUST CALLED FORD AND I WAS TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TO GET THE CAR FIXED. SERIOUSLY? I'M AN COLLEGE STUDENT FULL OF STUFF TO PAY AND ALWAYS LIVING IN A BUDGET. IT SEEMS LIKE THE COST FOR THIS IS OVER $1800 AND THERE'S NO CHANCE I HAVE SUCH ABSURD AMOUNT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT WASN'T EVEN MY FAULT. I NEED THE CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE IN UTAH THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN GET ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT. I DON'T CONSIDER DRIVING THE CAR IN THIS SITUATION (IT'S PROBABLY NOT EVEN RECOMMENDED) AND I'VE BEEN BORROWING MY ROOMMATE'S CAR, WHICH I CAN'T DO FOR MUCH LONGER FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I WONDER WHAT FORD IS GOING TO DO TO HELP NOT ONLY ME BUT ALL THE UNFORTUNATE FORD FUSION'S OWNERS.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR *2010 FORD FUSION SEL* FOR 4000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IT SAYS THIS COULD BE UPWARDS OF 2000 DOLLARS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I'M AFRAID I WILL BE MID TURN AND IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. I SEE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED? PEOPLE COULD DIE!!

DRIVING ON RAINY DAY, ON A BUSY STREET. CARS IN FRONT SLAMMED THEIR BRAKES AND I SLAMMED MINE. MY CAR SLID A LITTLE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED. AFTER THAT, MY BRAKES DID NOT GO BACK TO NORMAL. I NEEDED TO ADDITIONAL DISTANCE TO BRAKE AND WHEN I WOULD BRAKE, THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX]. RECENTLY I BOUGHT A FORD FUISION 2010. I AM PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH CARS SO I UNDERSTAND THE COMMONLY ROUTINE OF TAKING CARE OF A CAR. IT'S BEEN ONLY 30 DAYS. THE FIRST FIRST INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED ON THE PARKWAY MY CAR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. I GOT IT TO WORK BACK UP BUT THEN I GOT A MECHANIC TO DO A TUNE UP. EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTH UNTIL I DROVE ABOUT 3,000 MILES INTO THE CAR & IT TOLD TO ME CHECK THE ENGINE OIL AND THE BRAKES. BY THE TIME I WENT TO START MY CAR UP THE LIGHTING SLOWLY FADED AWAY. EVENTUALLY THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND ALMOST ROLLED DOWN THE HILL. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. NOW THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND EVERYTHING. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT RECALLS ON THE MODEL OF THE FORD FUSION 2010. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I COULD EITHER GET IT FIXED OR POSSIBLY A LETTER TO GET A NEW OR SIMILAR VERSION FROM THE CAR MODELS DEALERSHIP. I'VE ALSO INVESTED SO MUCH MONEY INTO FIXING THIS CAR AND IT JUST SEEMS TO BE FALLING APART. THE DAMAGE WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN. THERE WAS ALSO AN OIL LEAK. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BRAKES BEGIN WORKING. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE "HCU" AND IS SUPRISED IT IS NO RECALLED UNDER 19V904 OR 19S54

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM AND FAILURE ADDRESSED IN SAFETY RECALL 15S18 BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOESN'T INCLUDE 2010 FORD FUSION MODELS BUT INCLUDES ALL OTHER 2011-2012. EVEN WITH THE EXACT POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND FAILURE. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2010 MODELS.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING. ALMOST CRASHED, AS THE STEERING FAILED JUST AS I WAS TAKING A TURN. 1800 REPAIR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR, IT HAS 86000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS JUNK. I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT I NEARLY CRASHED THAN THE MONEY (ALTHOUGH I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT)

OFTEN THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" WARNING WOULD COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED AND STATIONARY. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING WOULD CLEAR THE ISSUE. HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CLEAR THE ISSUE HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED. POWER STEERING RACK WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2745.76. CALLED FORD TO CLAIM THAT THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM COVERED BY THE 2011-2012 FUSION RECALL AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY FORD WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS "TOO OLD." I AM NOW IN A FIGHT WITH FORD TO CONVINCE THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF.

A WARNING CAME ON TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM NOW" AS WELL AS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM". STEERING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I USED A PROGRAM I HAVE TO RESET THE POWER STEERING MODULE AND IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN UNTIL I POWER OFF THE CAR. THE PROBLEM STARTS AS SOON AS I TURN ON MY CAR. ONCE IT HAPPENS, AFTER RESETTING THE MODULE, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF.

I STARTED MY CAR TODAY AND WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE I ALMOST HIT THE SIDE I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE DASH SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST SO I BACKED IN BY MUSCLEING THE WHEEL, NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE BUT IT WAS KIND OF SCARRY,

STARTING CAR, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD AND CAN NOT STEER.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT STARTING SHOWING UP IN MY DASH, ONCE IN A WHILE, OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS. NORMALLY, I WOULD TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. TWO DAYS AGO, AFTER PARKING, I TURNED CAR OFF. WHEN I WENT TO GO TURN CAR BACK ON, THE LIGHT SHOWED UP AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED.

THE CAR WILL START BUT STEERING WHEEL WON'T MOVE.

ABS BRAKES VALVE STICKING COMPLAINT CODE 199 S54

I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN MY CAR AND WHEN I STARTED IT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES AND IT STARTED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT WENT OFF. I WENT TO WORK AND IN THE MORNING I STARTED IT AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON A COUPLE MORE TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO OFF. I GOT IT HOME AND THERE IT SITS.

I RECEIVED AN ALERT FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND IMMEDIATELY HAD NO POWER STEERING. NOW I HAVE TO PURCHASE A RACK & PINION ASSEMBLY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I SEE WHERE YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED AN INVESTIGATION BUT FORD STATES THEY HAVE NOT COMPLETED THEIRS. HOW LONG DOES THIS TAKE? THIS PART AND LABOR TO HAVE THIS COMPLETED IS VERY EXPENSIVE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO A CONTINUING LANE BUT HER BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLICE OFFICER DUE TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT LINKED HER FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND WAS DEEMED TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT ALERTS APPEARED AND SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAUSE VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. FOLLOWED BY TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. I HAVE SERVICE THE VEHICLE AS REQUIRED AND HAVE RECORDS IT HAS BEEN SERVICED IN A TIMELY MANNER FOR ITS LIFE TIME.

STARTED CAR IN DRIVEWAY AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. DASH LIGHT DISPLAYED POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT. SHUT OFF CAR TWICE AND GOT IT BACK. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I'M A WOMAN. I WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE CAR. I WOULD CRASH. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, BUT OTHERS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. DOES IT TAKE DEATH TO HAVE A RECALL?

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD OR SLICK ROAD

WELL IT ALL BEGAN ONE DAY I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AFTER HAVING JUST BEEN WORKING FINE . I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY STRANGE, ALMOST LIKE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE REPLACED BUT NOT BLED AND THERE IS AIR IN THE SYSTEM. SO I TOOK IT DOWN TO MY LOCAL LES SCHWAB AND THEY REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND FRONT BRAKES , INCLUDING : NEW CALIPERS , NEW PADS , AND RESURFACED ROTORS , WITH NO SUCCESS. NOW THEY LOOKED INTO IT AND THERE IS AN ONGOING RECALL DESCRIBED AS - "ABS VALVE MAY REMAIN OPEN AFTER ABS EVENT " . MY VEHICLE A 2010 FORD FUSION IS LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW A RECALL NEEDED .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH THE STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,000.

I SUDDENLY GOT AN ALERT TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING AND IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING OUT. AFTER THE ALERT TURNED ON MY VEH STARTED SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AFTER STOPPING ON SLIPPERY OR BUMPY ROAD. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRES SEVERAL PUMPS TO STOP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS COVERED BY EXISTING RECALL, BUT NOT FOR THIS VIN

FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART AND IT'S GONE FOR AWHILE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATED THE ERROR SO THEY SENT ME HOME. YESTERDAY I GOT THE SAME ERROR BUT A RESTART WOULD NOT CLEAR THE MESSAGE. I DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WITH THIS MESSAGE AND A NEW MESSAGE THAT SAYS 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC'. THE FIX WILL BE ABOUT $2300. I KNEW THAT 2011 MODELS HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ERROR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE YEARS. IT'S UPSETTING TO SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO PEOPLE WHILE IN MOTION AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD WON'T COVER THIS SAFETY HAZARD ON THE 2010 LIKE THEY HAVE THE 2011.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY! LUCKILY I WASNT IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE RACK AND PINION IS STARTING TO GET HARD AND MAKING NOISE. MY STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT SUPPOSE TO BE. ENGINE IS STARTING TO SHAKE WHILE ON RED LIGHT. MY A/C DOESN'T WORK AND LIGHTS DO NOT WORK FROM THE INSIDE.

MY CAR SAYS CHECK CRUISE CONTROL AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR THIS IS A FORD DEFECT AS THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRICAL.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, THE ASSIST STEERING FAULT CAME ON. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

SAFETY RECALL 19S54 IDENTIFIES BRAKE PROBLEMS FOR 06-10 FORD FUSIONS. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE REPAIRS. HOW CAN I GET IT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ELIGIBILITY?

MY CAR IS LEAKING FUEL. I AM UNABLE TO PASS THE SMOG. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY ALREADY 'INSPECTED' MY FUEL TANK IN 2016 AND IT WAS FINE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT NOW. THIS WAS RECALLED. IT IS EFFECTING MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO REPAIR IT. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED AND MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT.

LOST ABILITY TO STEER CAR. ERROR MESSAGE: POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT FAILURE". UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AT ALL AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, RECEIVED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ALARM AND STEERING FAILED TO A "MANUAL" MODE. THE WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. RESEARCH HAS IDENTIFIED RECALLS ON THE 2011 AND 2012 EPS(ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), BUT NOT THE 2010 FUSION. MY FUSION ONLY HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT. THIS WILL BE A COSTLY OUT OF POCKET REPAIR FOR A SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN ON OTHER VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED TTAT HE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

ON THE WAY TO WORK, I SUDDENLY GOT 2 ALERTS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I WAS WORRIED, BUT STEERING FELT OK TO ME AT THE TIME, I DECIDED TO GO BACK HOME... I LEFT CAR IN MIDDLE OF STREET WITH HAZARDS, I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON TO SEE IF ERRORS WOULD CLEAR. AFTER IT STARTED THIS TIME, THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY OFF, NEW ALERTS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "SERVICE POWERSTEERING NOW". CAR IS NOW STUCK, AND UNABLE TO BE SAFELY DRIVEN. IT TOOK ME 5 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR INTO OUR PARKING SPOT. STEERING WHEEL IS BARELY ABLE TO BE TURNED WITH EXTREME FORCE. I'M DISGUSTED TO SEE THAT MANY, MANY OTHER COMPLAINS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR 2010 FORD FUSION WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUES, SOME RESULTING IN SERIOUS CAR CRASHES AND OTHER INJURIES, AND NO RECALL. IT IS INSANE TO ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS CAR. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD CONTINUED ALONG TO WORK ON THE BELTWAY, AS MY LIFE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN IN DANGER IF THIS LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I'VE DRIVEN CARS WITH NO POWER STEERING BEFORE, BUT THIS STEERING WHEEL IS COMPLETELY LOCKED, I HAVE NO CLUE HOW I AM GOING TO GET IT TO THE DEALER WITHOUT TOWING COSTS.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SEL TWICE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKING POWER IN 2019 DURING MOMENTS WITH ABS WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN ACTIVATED ONCE WHILE BRAKING IN SNOW, ONCE WHILE HITTING A POTHOLE WHILE BRAKING. WHILE BRAKING HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY TRAVELED NEARLY THE ENTIRE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. AFTER 1 VISIT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND 1 VISIT TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER MOST RECENTLY IN DEC. 2019, THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE. I'VE SINCE READ ABOUT FORD RECALL 19S54 WHICH DESCRIBES MY SITUATION ALMOST EXACTLY. THIS IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER ON 1/8/2021 AND WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL AND I CAN PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET IF I CHOOSE TO DO SO. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS AFFECTED AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ESCALATE THIS TO FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT NOTICED WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE THAT THE WHEEL STUDS WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS NO VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL STUDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EL CAJON FORD (1595 E MAIN ST, EL CAJON, CA 92021) WHERE THEY FAILED TO DO A DIAGNOSIS AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V574000 (WHEELS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THE RECALL WAS REMEDIED WITH THE ONE-TIME FREE REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

WHEN I STARTED CAR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT LIT UP AS WELL AS SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT, POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK, COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. WENT TO WORK AND WHEN I TRIED AGAIN LATER THAT DAY, FAULT LIGHTS DIDN'T LIGHT AND STEERING WAS NORMAL. UNFORTUNATELY THE SAME PROBLEM CAME ON AND AGAIN TRIED LATER IN DAY BUT BOTH FAULT LIGHTS LIT UP, AND STEERING WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.GOT AN ESTIMATE FROM MECHANIC FOR A $2000 REPAIR, SAID THE STEERING ASSEMBLY/ELECTRIC MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, CAR HAS 106000 MILES.FUSIONS AND MERCURY MKZ'SOF SIMILAR YEARS BUT NOT 2010'S WERE RECALLED, DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING PRESENT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. I KNOW THERE WERE MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON NEW VEHICLES. UNABLE TO DRIVE AND UTILIZE POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE STEERING ASSIST AND ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAGUIRE FORD (504 S MEADOW ST, ITHACA, NY 14850, (607) 272-8000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ERROR POPPED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE WHEEL AT ALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MY YEAR (2010) DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A RECALL, BUT THE LATER YEARS DO FOR SOME REASON. THE 2010 SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE RECALL!!

RECEIVED A "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" ALONG WITH "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" ERROR DURING THE MIDDLE OF A LONG DRIVE. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH STRENGTH TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK HOME, BUT AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, THE STEERING COLUMN HAD LOCKED COMPLETELY. I HAVE NO WAY TO TURN THIS CAR. THE SAME ERRORS ARE SHOWING UP, ALONG WITH "TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT." I WAS LUCKY TO GET THIS THING BACK SEMI-SAFELY. IF THE STEERING HAD LOCKED AT 70 MPH, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

2010 FORD FUSION BUILT AT THE HERMOSILLO PLANT IN AUGUST 2009 IS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT ISSUES AS A CURRENT RECALL: 19V904000 THAT COVERS THE SAME VEHICLE AND PARTS FROM THE SAME PLANT BUT FOR A FEB. 22, 2006, TO JULY 15, 2009 TIMEFRAME. MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT IS CAUSING THE ABS SYSTEM TO FAIL AND NOT ENGAGE RESULTING IN NEEDING ABNORMAL EXTRA FORCE TO STOP VEHICLE IN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATIONS. THEREFORE GREATLY INCREASING RISK OF COLLISION AND REDUCING SAFETY.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, SUDDENLY ALL BRAKE RELATED WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE (PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR) AND I COASTED ALMOST TO THE OPPOSITE CURB BEFORE PRESSING HARD ENOUGH TO STOP. I TOWED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN ABS MODULE FAILURE, AND THAT THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

ON DECEMBER 1ST I WAS DRIVING MY FORD FUSION 2 THE ACTUAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET A LOOK AT THEIR FIELD SERVICE ACTION THAT THEY HAD POSTED ON MY FORD APP. WHILE ON MY WAY I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON COLUMBIA DRIVE IN PORTLAND OREGON AND I HAD THOUGHT MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE INITIALLY BUT ACTUALLY WOULD HAPPEN IF MY CAR HAD ACCELERATED AND TO THE GENTLEMAN IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT I TRIED TO CONTACT FORD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NORMALLY GO TO TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE FRONT-END OF MY FORD FUSION THAT WAS DEMOLISHED AND ALSO NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF AS I HAD JUST GOT MY CAR OUT OF THE SHOP AT FORD FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS MY FIANCE WAS WITH ME SO THERE WAS DEFINITELY CAUSE FOR CONCERN FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT BUT LIKE I SAID MY CAR WAS DEMOLISHED ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE FRONT END I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY MY CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN SO LOOKING INTO IT THE EXPLANATION THAT I CAME UP WITH WAS DEFINITELY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MOTOR AND ALL I WANT IS MY CAR RETURNED BACK TO ITS PRIOR CONDITION I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT I DID CONTACT FORD AND WAS REFERRED TO A BIGGER FORD COMPANY IF SOMEONE COULD HELP THAT WOULD BE AMAZING I'D APPRECIATE IT... ALSO NO WARNINGS OR SENSORS WENT OFF IN MY VEHICLE I DO HAVE THE SEL PACKAGE AND ONCE AGAIN NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND FOR THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE I WAS VERY SURPRISED

AFTER THE ABS ACTIVATES (E.G., ON AN ICY ROAD), THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON SUBSEQUENT BRAKE APPLICATIONS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FOR VALVES NOT CLOSING FOR 2010 FUSIONS, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

2010 FORD FUSION. NO ISSUE WITH BRAKES UNTIL 12/18/20. PARKING IN SNOW SLUSH ABS SYSTEM BRIEFLY ENGAGED, SINCE EXACTLY THAT EVENT THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO FLOOR UNDER FOOT PRESSURE, REQUIRED PUMPING TO GET FULL STOP. NO ISSUE WITH MASTER CYLINDER, FLUID LEVEL, OR BRAKE CYLINDERS, PEDAL FIRM WITH ENGINE OFF, NO LEAKING IN ANY CONDITION, PEDAL RETURNS TO FULL UP POSITION AFTER RELEASE OF FOOT PRESSURE. SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL TO THOSE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 19V904000. HAS CAUSED 'HEART ATTACK' BRAKE PUMPING TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING CARS IN LOCAL TRAFFIC. SYMPTOMS PRESENT AT ANY SPEED.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT A COUPLE OF ODD TIMES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS IT ENDED UP COMING BACK ON AND OFF BUT IS NOW COMPLETELY OFF.... FORTUNATELY FOR ME IT WAS WHILE I WAS STATIONARY EACH OCCURENCE..... DISPLAYED ON MY DASH IS (POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT) ALONG WITH (SERVICE ADVANCETRACK) AS IVE BEEN READING THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE TO NO RESOLUTION FROM FORD AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING TO ME....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED TO OPEN AND THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH DETACHED FROM THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED COLONIAL FORD (126 FEDERAL RD #126, DANBURY, CT 06811, (203) 748-3503) AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ERROR, WOULD INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. A RESTART OF MY CAR WOULD CLEAR IT. THE OTHER NIGHT, AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN IT WAS PARKED, IT APPEARED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT DIDN'T CLEAR WITH SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTING IT, THEN ANOTHER MESSAGE APPEARED ABOUT SERVICING THE ADVANCED TRAC APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME IN MANUAL MODE, AND THERE IT SITS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ERROR, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE DISPLAYED WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. HALEY FORD RICHMOND LOCATED AT 10724 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, RICHMOND VA 23237 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

THE POWER STEERING LOCKED ON CAR WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE CAR THE HIT CURB.

MY FUSION WAS ON RECALL FOR THE LUG NUTS. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT LUG NUTS. THE NEW LUG NUTS ARE NOT THE SAME SIZE. I FOUND THAT OUT BY ROTATING MY TIRES. THE LUG RANCH FROM MY CAR DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY. THE COVERING OVER THE LUG NUTS THAT SUPPORTS THE HUB CAPS STRIPPED WHEN TRYING TO LOOSEN THE BOLTS. A STANDARD FOUR WAY LUG WRENCH WOULD NOT FIT ALSO. I WAS FORTUNATE MY NEIGHBOR WAS HOME WHO HAD A AIR GUN. HE HAD TO USE A DIFFERENT SIZE SOCKET TO EVEN GET THEM LOOSE. THE LUG NUT COVERS ON THE LUG NUTS ARE A DIFFERENT SIZE THEN THE OLD RECALL ONES. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD ONES WITH THE LUG RANCH THAT WAS PROVIDED WITH MY CAR. IF I HAVE A FLAT WHILE DRIVING THEIRS NO WAY OF CHANGING THE FLAT UNLESS YOU HAVE AN AIR GUN AND A CERTAIN SIZE SOCKET. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO DRIVES A FORD FUSION THAT HAD A TIRE THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THEY RAN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NEW LUG NUTS. THEY HAD TO CALL A TIRE STORE TO COME OUT TO THEIR HOME WITH AN AIR WRENCH AND A CERTAIN SIZE SOCKET TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. WHICH I DOUBT THEY WILL. THEY HAVEN'T REPLACE THE HCU YET ON MY CAR THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL ON A YEAR AGO. WHICH ENDING UP CAUSING ME TO WRECK THE CAR WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED AND CAUSING DAMAGES TO MY CAR.

RUNNING MOVING FORWARD BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR. REPLACED ALL BRAKE PADS, BRAKE CALIPERS, FRONT ROTORS AND MASTER CYLINDER. ENGINE OFF IT HAS PERFECT BRAKE PEDAL. RUNNING IT GOES TO FLOOR . IT IS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT. IT DOES NOT FALL INTO RECALL MANUFACTURING DATE IT SHOULD.IT STARTED IN MORNING AFTER PULLING OUT ON STREET COMING TO FIRST STOP SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING AND AS TURNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT.I HAD TAKEN IT TO DEALER MONTHS EARLIER WHEN LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANYTHING AT THAT TIME.

NOVEMBER 2020 STARTED CAR IN PARKING LOT AND DROVE 30 FEET. DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, HIT BRAKE WHICH DID NOT WORK SINKING ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND ROLLED TO STOP AFTER 30 FEET. TURNED ENGINE OFF. RESTARTED AND AGAIN AFTER DRIVING 30 FEET DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, HIT BRAKE AND AGAIN DID NOT WORK SINKING TO FLOOR. ROLLED TO STOP AFTER ABOUT 30 FEET. TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC INVESTIGATED AND NEEDED TO REPLACE ABS CONTROL MODULE. MECHANIC CHECKED FOR ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS AND NONE NOTED BUT HE FELT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

WHILE BRAKING AT ANY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR AND HAS TO BE PUMPED. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS FOR ME. OTHER 2010 FUSIONS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHY NOT MINE?

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. THEN IT LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOW AND I HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE BEFORE I WRECKED BECAUSE IT TOOK ALL I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL ALSO WHLE DRIVING STRAIGHT I HAD TO JERK THE WHEEL BACK TO THE LEFT BECAUSE IT STARTED VEERING TO THE RIGHT

WHILE DRIVING, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON" NOTICE CAME ON THE DASH. MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WE WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE DASH THEN SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. HE WAS ABLE TO GET US HOME BY GOING SLOWLY AND AVOIDING ROADS WITH SHARP TURNS. AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT ENGAGE, THE ENGINE BEGAN ACTING STRANGE TOO. IT WOULD REV UP HIGH UNLESS YOUR FOOT WAS ACTIVELY PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL OR IF YOU WERE GOING SLOW ENOUGH (20 MPH) FOR THE EV MODE TO OVERRIDE THE GAS ENGINE. IF I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS I AM NOT PHYSICALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE CAR IS NOW SITTING OUTSIDE MY HOME, WAITING TO BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP.

WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AS MY WIFE AND I WERE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF OUR HOTEL. IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE FOR 3 HOURS PRIOR TO THAT. LUCKILY SHE WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED AND IT WAS NOT IN A TURN OR AT HIGH SPEEDS LIKE IT SOUNDS OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. SIMILAR REPORTS SHOW THIS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WAS RECALLED IN 2011+ MODELS BUT 2010 WAS EXCLUDED, HOWEVER IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED, CLOSED, THEN RE-OPENED. FUSES ARE ALL GOOD. OTHER SYSTEMS ARE ALL GOOD, JUST RANDOMLY POPS UP WITH "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" AND POWER STEERING THEN SHUTS OFF. **VEHICLE CAN STILL BE DRIVEN BUT THERE IS NOT POWER STEERING SO IT'S JUST A LITTLE MORE MUSCLE NEEDED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT - VEHICLE STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP ON A TURN, I HIT A POTHOLE THAT CAUSED MY ABS SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION WHICH RESULTED IN A GREAT REDUCTION IN BREAK EFFICIENTLY AND/OR LOSS OF BREAKING COMPLETELY. IN RESEARCHING PROBABLE CAUSES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, THE SITUATION DESCRIBED IS JUST AS DESCRIBED IN FORD RECALL - 19S54. MY CURRENT MODEL FUSION (A 2010 SE) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THE SITUATION IS RECURRING AND GETTING WORSE.

THE BRAKING SYSTEM NEAR FAILURE THAT PUTS DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILY AT RISK THAT FORD SEEMS TO THINK IS NO BIG DEAL . THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND YET THE ADVANCE NOTICE IS ALL THEY HAVE DONE. I WAS TOLD MONTHS BACK THAT THEY WOULD BE RECALLING AT THE END OF THE 3RD QUARTER TO ADDRESS AND FIX ISSUE. WELL HERE WE ARE NEARING THE END OF THE 4TH QUARTER AND THEY NOW SAY IT WILL BE ADDRESSED BY THE END OF 1ST QUARTER OF 2021. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY REFERRED ME TO CORPORATE AND THEN THE CORP. REP HAD NO ANSWERS EITHER. I FEEL BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL AND DECREASED BRAKING PERFORMANCE IS A SERIOUS ENOUGH ISSUE WHERE PUSHING BACK DATE O RECALL SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED AND FORD NEEDS TO MAKE A GREATER EFFORT TO FIX. AND WHY HAS THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY PUSHED FOR A MORE COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION?

MY POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET JUST AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME WITOUT INCIDENT. I'VE READ VARIOUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME FROM OTHER 2010 FUSION OWNERS. I TOOK IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS QUOTED $1600.00 TO REPAIR. THE CAR IS MOST LIKELY NOT WORTH THAT MUCH BUT I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW ONE OR FIX THIS ONE. I'VE RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE BRAKES TIRES TIE RODS ETC. AND NOW I HAVE SCRAP IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I'M HOPING THAT THIS ISSUE WITH MY FUSION IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE RECALLED

THE BRAKES STOP WORKING, OR AT LEAST THE POWER PART DID. THE ABS AND OTHER BRAKE-SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE ONLY BY PUSHING THE PEDAL AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO. IT WAS SIMILAR IN FEEL TO A CAR WITH NO POWER. I DOUBT THIS THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO STOP ME IN TIME HAD I BEEN GOING OVER 30 MPH OR TRYING TO NAVIGATE A CURVE. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART IT FOR IT TO CLEAR. SOMETHING SIMILAR WHAT THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES WHEN IT HAPPENED I HAD JUST BACKED UP AND HAD THEN PULLED FORWARD OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE STREET WHEN I REALIZED I COULD NOT STOP NORMALLY HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2010/02/FORD-ISSUES-PROMPT-FIX-FOR-FUSION-HYBRID-BRAKES/INDEX.HTM

THE BRAKE ARE EXHIBITEING THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN #19V904000. RARELY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT WARNING WILL DROP TWO INCHES TO WITHIN 1/2 INCH FROM THE FLOORBOARD. THIS STARTED AFTER WE HAD THE BRAKES PROFESSIONALLY FLUSHED WITH THE RECOMMENDED AND WHAT THE MASTER CYLINDER CAP INDICATED DOT 3. MY VIN IS NOT ON THE NHTSA LIST, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL. CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP HAVING THE COMPLETELY FLUSHED WITH DOT 4. STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, BUT ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE FIX YESTERDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER GRANDSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER GRANDSON WAS REVERSING OUT THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER NEPHEW A CERTIFIED MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNAWARE OF THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. THE DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE VEHCILE IN A PARKING LOT.

WHILE DRIVING CAR GOT POWER STEERING ASSIST FAIL WARNING AND STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, RESTARTED CAR AND IT CLEARED THE FIRST TIME BUT HAS RETURNED AND WILL NOT CLEAR MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER CAR.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AN ERROR MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED INDICATING THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE SERVICED "NOW". THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED IN MAR OF 2017 WHEN I FILED A COMPLAINT (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10959746). I HAD THE MATTER REPAIRED AT MY COST AS THIS MODEL YEAR WAS NOT PART OF THE FORD RECALL. (ONLY 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS WERE RECALLED). 3.5 YEARS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE EPAS MOTOR MOUNTED. ONCE AGAIN, I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT $2500 TO REPAIR A PART THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING AFTER 3.5 YEARS AND 40K MILES OF WEAR. THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS FLAW IN THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. ON THE RACK.

I STARTED MY CAR UP AND THE BRAKE , BRAKE LIGHT,ABS,AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND EV DON'T TURN ON,NO BACK UP CAMERA

MY BREAKS HAVE BECOME SQUISHY. EVERY TIME APPLIED. I WAIT IMPATIENTLY FOR A SWIFT RESOLUTION.

POWER STEERING FAILED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE VISITING OUT-OF-STATE IN PA, DRIVING AT 35-45MPH, THE 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, BUT STEERING STILL WORKED. BUT WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF & BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WAS TOTALLY GONE'NO POWER STEERING ASSIST AT ALL! THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (BUILT INTO THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING, UNDER STEERING WHEEL) WAS REPLACED. POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED'. ONLY FOR ABOUT 6 OR 7 MILES OF MECHANIC TEST DRIVE & CONTACT'S PICKING UP REPAIRED VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NEXT DAY AS CONTACT WAS JUST STARTING OUT ON THE 1300 MILE TRIP BACK HOME TO KS, THE 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' WARNING LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON. BASED ON EARLIER EXPERIENCE, THE CONTACT ASSUMED THE POWER STEERING WOULD REMAIN OPERABLE (EVEN WITH THE SERVICE LIGHT ON) UNTIL THE KEY IS TURNED OFF. SO, HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE TOWARD HOME WITHOUT TURNING OF THE IGNITION'AND THE POWER STEERING CONTINUED TO WORK. WHEN, AFTER 675 MILES OF TRAVEL, CONTACT STOPPED AT MOTEL FOR THE NIGHT & TURNED OFF THE KEY, THE POWER STEERING WAS TOTALLY GONE AGAIN (NO POWER ASSIST!). CONTACT COMPLETED THE REMAINING 625 MILES THE FOLLOWING DAY'.BUT WITHOUT POWER STEERING! UPON ARRIVAL AT HOME, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIDWEST FORD (1100 E 30TH AVE, HUTCHINSON, KS 67502, (800) 530-5789) FOR FAILED POWER STEERING TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING RACK AND BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND CONTACT POINTED OUT MFG. RECALL FOR THE 2011-2013 FUSIONS THAT MISSED THE 2010'S WITH SAME STEERING ISSUES (NHTSA INVESTIGATION FOR 2010'S WAS RE-OPENED IN FALL OF 2017'STILL OPEN). HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED BY MFG.. THE INITIAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,174. INVALID VIN*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR VEHICLE HOWEVER, HER VEHICLE YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT CALLED BALISE FORD OF CAPE COD (90 HIGH SCHOOL RD EXT, HYANNIS, MA 02601) AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD RECEIVE A CALLBACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,678.

FUSION BRAKES BECAME VERY SPONGY LAST YEAR CALLED THE DEALER, TOOK CAR IN THEY REPORTED "RESETTING THE BRAKE SENSOR", AND BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONING SATISFACTORY. 2 WEEKS AGO, PROBLEM RETURNED ON A TRIP OF 500 MILES, THOUGHT BRAKES WERE LOOSING FLUID, CHECKED FLUID WAS FINE. PUMPED BRAKES IN PARK VERY HARD X 5-10 REPS X 3 SETS , BRAKE PARTIALLY RETURNED. ARRIVING HOME BRAKES FUNCTIONED FAIR. NOW PAST 2 DAYS UNABLE TO RESET BRAKES AND THEY ARE VERY SPONGY, VERY RISKY FOR TRAVEL AND PERFORMING UNEXPECTED STOPPING. FORD SERVICE REPORTS SOME OF THESE VEHICLES ARE UNDER RECALL SOME ARE NOT?? I WILL REDRESS THIS WITH DEALER THIS WEEK. NOW STEERING FAULT IS SHOWING UP, LOOSES ASSIST WHILE DRIVING , MAKES PARKING AND AVOIDANCE MANEUVERING DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. AGAIN SOME VEHICLES UNDER RECALL NOT MINE ??

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ONE SATURDAY MORNING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND AFTER I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES THE BRAKES STARTED TO WORK AGAIN SO I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT

I WAS AT A PARKING LOT AND WAS PULLING OUT IN REVERSE WHEN MY CAR WAS STILL MOVING BACKWARDS WITHOUT STOPPING BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I PULLED THE E-BRAKE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN AND I WENT TO AN EMPTY ROAD AND TESTED MY BRAKES AND REALIZED THAT WHEN I WENT REVERSE MY BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. I TESTED IT AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE HOURS AND IT WORKED FINE BUT SOON AFTER THAT IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU).

PRESSED ON BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ALARM CHIME SOUNDED. THE DASHLIGHTS FOR ABS SYSTEM AND SKID CONTROL LIT UP ALONG WITH WARNING TO HAVE ADVANCE BRAKING SYSTEM SERVICE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE IN NON EMERGENCY SITUATION BUT JUST BARELY AVOIDED REAR END CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20-25MPH. PULLED CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURNED OFF KEY AND THEN RESTARTED. DASH CODES CLEARED AND CAR OPERATED NORMALLY SINCE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. NHTSA RECALL COVERS THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAME FORD MODEL VEHICLES AS MINE BUT MY VIN IS EXCLUDED. PLEASE EXTEND THE COVERAGE TO MY VIN

PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT JUNE 2020. ABS & TRACTION SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT ENGINE START. BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL IS LONGER THAN NORMAL IN ON ROAD USE. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME AS FORD RECALL NO.19S54 BUT THIS (FUSION HYBRID) CAR ISN'T COVERED.

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. DROVE 1/2 A MILE ON CITY STREETS AND PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. RETURNED 20 MIN. LATER AND AS I WAS STARTING THE CAR THE MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' WARNING CAME ON. NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. TRIED RESTARTING SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO CHANGE. DROVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING. HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE SAME WARNING GIVEN AND STILL NO POWER STEERING WORKING.

THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT FOR WEEKS. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, EVERY TIME I START THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING FAULT ERROR LIGHTS UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND I CANNOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I TURN OFF MY VEHICLE AND START THE CAR AGAIN. TODAY, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR 5 TIMES, THE POWER STEERING ERROR MESSAGE SHOWED EACH TIME, AND I WAS NEVER ABLE TO MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. AFTER WAITING SEVERAL HOURS, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR. SINCE THE ISSUE HAS NOW GROWN TO BE THIS SEVERE, I'M FEARFUL THAT THE POWER STEERING IS NOW GOING TO GO OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD CHIMES ABOUT AN ERROR CODE INVOLVING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. SHORTLY AFTER, IT JUST QUITS WORKING. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD. IT HAPPENED SO FAST I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. I THANK GOD I WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HOME. IT WAS SO INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN ON THE ROAD THAT I LIVED ON, I USED EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH THAT I HAD. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WAS ABLE TO DO IT. I AM SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL THAT I WASN'T ON THE INTERSTATE GOING A NORMAL SPEED, OR WORSE, HAVING MY LOVED ONES WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS SO SCARED, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. AFTERWARDS, I STARTED GOOGLING AND I STUMBLED UPON RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY MODEL YEAR DOES NOT QUALIFY BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT DOESN'T QUALIFY SINCE, IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS DOCUMENTED IN THOUSANDS OF IDENTICAL MODELS. I AM AT A COMPLETE LOSS AS TO WHY MY LIFE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS SOMEONE ELSES BASED ON A VIN NUMBER OR MODEL YEAR. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE! IT IS NOT EVEN DRIVEABLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO HAVE IT FIXED. EVEN IF I DID, I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR WHAT SO EVER. I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED REGARDLESS, CONSIDERING THAT MY SAFETY WAS COMPRIMISED DUE TO A FAULTY PRODUCTION. HOW ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE? ***FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE***

I WAS DRIVING TO CLASS WHEN I GOT A 'LOW TIRE PRESSURE' LIGHT ON MY DASH. AS I WAS LATE FOR CLASS, I DID NOT ADDRESS IT. AFTER CLASS, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE WHEN MY POWER STREERING WENT OUT. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET AND WAS DRIVING SLOW OR ELSE I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND PUT AIR IN THE TIRE, AS I HAVE READ THAT LOW TIRE PRESSURE WILL SOMETIMES SET OFF THE POWER STREERING. THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WENT OFF BUT I STILL DO NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET MY CAR BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY FOR OVER AN HOUR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I FIND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT THE POWER STREERING WILL TURN OFF WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. IF I WAS ON AN HIGHWAY OR BUSY STREET, I SURELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE POWER STREERING WENT OUT, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I AM JUST LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN SUCH CONDITIONS AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE.

THE VEHICLE ABS MODULE FAILED AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES, RESULTING IN DELAYED AND MORE DIFFICULT BRAKING. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT BRAKE PROPERLY AND HAS RESULTED IN DOCUMENTED ACCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO FORD RECALL #19S54 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 19V904000. THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES EXHIBITED THE SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THE RECALL, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT A SLIGHTLY LATER DATE (< 2 MONTHS AFTER THE AFFECTED-PARTS END DATE). UPON CONTACTING FORD, THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE THE VEHICLE IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS. WE ARE ALERTING NHTSA THAT MORE 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID VEHICLES MAY BE IMPACTED OTHER THAN THE ONES CAPTURED IN THE INITIAL RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 195,000.

MARCH OF 2018 MY VEHICLES POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON WHEN I CRANKED THE VEHICLE. SHUT CAR OFF AND RECRANKED AND FAULT HAD RESET. MY SON WAS DRIVING IT ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHEN IT FAULTED AGAIN ON A COUNTRY BACK ROAD. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD, RESTARTED AND FAULT RESET. VEHICLE WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ON 4/17/18 WAS SENT TO REPAIR SHOP. SHOP REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK WITH 79500 MILES (HAVE COPY OF BILL, UNABLE TO UPLOAD).ON 10/17/20 POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTED AGAIN WHEN CRANKED WITH 98228 MILES. RESTARTED AND FAULT RESET. WITHIN TWO YEARS AND LESS THAN 19000 MILES POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULTED. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES IT FAULTED FOR ME WAS WHEN STARTING. I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA WITH BACK ROADS AND IT'S MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND VERY AFRAID WHEN I NEED TO DRIVE IT. MILEAGE AND DATE ARE BASED ON AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE FRONT END OF THE FORD FUSION HIT THE RIGHT REAR/SIDE OF ANOTHER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING CUT OFF BY ANOTHER CAR WEAVING IN & OUT OF TRAFFIC AT A HIGH SPEED. THE FORD FUSION WAS DESIGNATED "TOTALED" BY THE BODY SHOP AND INSURANCE ADJUSTER DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAGS ON THIS FORD FUSION WERE PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND WERE REPLACED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS SO THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GOOD WORKING ORDER BUT THEY NEVER DEPLOYED. VERY CONCERNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE, SHE BECAME AWARE THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WAS MISSING A WHEEL STUD AND LUG NUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED ON THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WHEELS A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN 8 TIMES TO LAIRD NOLLER FORD TOPEKA LOCATED AT 2245 SW TOPEKA BLVD, TOPEKA, KS 66611, (785) 235-9211 AND THE WHEEL STUD AND A LUG NUT WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,998.

I DO NOT OWN THIS CAR ANYMORE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A JUNK YARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INITIALLY HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION HOWEVER, RECENTLY THE WARNING MESSAGE CONSTANTLY REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAD YET TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, WHEN THE ORANGE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR ENGINE LOST POWER. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THE CAR HAS A CODE OF P2111 POSTED, AND I THOUGHT MY 2010 FORD FUSION WAS COVERED UNDER FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03, BUT THEY DO NOT SHOW THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER 13N03, AND CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT IS NOT. THE SYMPTOMS OF THE PROBLEM EXACTLY MATCH THAT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. IT WAS QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION, HAVING THE ENGINE LOSE POWER LIKE THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, AND I FEEL THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN OLDER VEHICLE, IT SHOULD BE LLOOKED INTO FURTHER.

ON10/4/2020, TRAVELING FORWARD ON A NEARBY COUNTY ROAD AT APPROX 40 MPH, THE ABS WARNING AND ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKES. AFTER BECOMING VERY EXCITED AND BELIEVING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL INCHES FURTHER THAN NORMAL AND FELT RESISTANCE. WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BUT NOT AN EASY TASK. IF THIS HAD BEEN A SITUATION IN WHICH I NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MANAGED. CONTACTED A FAMILY MEMBER AND I FOLLOWED THEM SLOWLY TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE FORD DEALER CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND STATED THAT IT WAS AN ABS MODULE FAILURE AND THAT THIS PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 2020. IN DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT RECALL # 19S54 HAD BEEN ISSUED. AND ASK THE DEALER ABOUT IT. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AS THE TIME RANGE IS FROM FEB 22, 2006 UNTIL JULY 15TH, 2009 FOR FUSIONS BUILT AT THE HERMOSILLO MEXICO PLANT. MY FUSION WAS BUILT ON AUGUST 1ST, 2009 OR 2 WEEKS LATER AT THE SAME PLANT. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT MY PART # DID NOT MATCH EXACTLY TO THE FORD RECALL PART # LISTED BUT IS STILL PART OF THE ABS MODULE. (A FEW #S OFF - I.E. 2C215 VS. 2C219) THIS ALL SEEMS ODD THAT IN READING THE OTHER INCIDENTS, MY FUSION HAD IDENTICAL ISSUES BUT BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 WEEKS LATER AT THE SAME PLANT IN MEXICO AND THE PART # IS A FEW DIGITS OFF BUT PART OF THE SAME MODULE, MY FUSION'S INCIDENT IS SOMEHOW DIFFERENT. I QUESTION THE VALIDITY OF THE TEST AND CODES. ALSO WHAT IS A PERSON SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR AT BEST, 30 DAYS. I GUESS I'LL SEE IN 30 DAYS.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LIGHT COME ON. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO A STOP BEFORE I WRECKED.

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT. STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE CAME UP ON DASH.

MY FORD FUSION 2010 HYBRID HAS A BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY INDICATE A BRAKE SENSOR FAILURE, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. ODDLY ENOUGH, TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND BACK ON, WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. SO WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IF I EXPERIENCE THIS SENSOR FAILURE/4 ODDLY ENOUGH, TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND BACK ON, WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. SO WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IF I EXPERIENCE THIS SENSOR FAILURE/FAULTY I HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND HOPE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 70+ ON THE INTERSTATE. IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD ONE TIME AS I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND HAD ALMOST CAUSED ME TO FLY OFF OF THE RAMP, AS I WAS NOT READY TO HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, JUST TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. I CAN PROVE THIS WITH VIDEO FOOTAGE AS WELL FOR EVIDENCE.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND BRAKING ON SNOW COVERED, WET AND/OR BUMPY ROADS, THE BRAKES WILL MOMENTARILY FAIL AS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES WAY DOWN TO NEAR THE FLOOR BEFORE RE-ENGAGING THE BRAKES. THIS RESULTS IN TEMPORARY LOSS OF BREAKING AND GREATER STOPPING DISTANCE THEN INITIALLY INTENDED AND HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHILE BREAKING OVER A SMALL POT HOLE. THE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE DEPRESSED DOWN MUCH FARTHER THEN NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ENTERED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

MATCH THE SYMPTOMS FOR FORD FUSION RECALL 19S54, AND WAS ALSO BUILT IN HERMOSILLO, MEXICO, AND YET BECAUSE MY CAR IS A HYBRID, MY CAR IS NOT TECHNICALLY RECALLED, DESPITE HAVING THE SAME, HIGHLY DANGEROUS ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER STEERING. THEN THE SERVICE STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING OR ANYTHING. IT MADE STEERING THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS REALLY SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS ALL ELECTRIC STEERING.

I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES FOR A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, MY DASH LIT UP WITH SEVERAL BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS AND I HAD TO USE A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. I REALIZED THAT I HAD LOST MOST OF BY BRAKING ABILITY AS WELL AS REGENERATIVE BRAKING. CHECKING THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON FORD FUSIONS BUILT IN MEXICO DURING THE TIME FRAME THAT MY FORD WAS BUILT IN MEXICO USING DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID AS MINE USES. THE RECALL(NHTSA #19V-904 FORD #19S54) STATES THAT IT IS NON-VIN SPECIFIC. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THE VIN # OF MY FORD DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL??? I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID TOO THAT THE VIN # DISQUALIFY 'S ME FROM THIS RECALL AND COULD NOT TELL ME WHY. I WAS TOLD TO SET UP AN APPT. WITH A DEALER, DEALER , PAY THEM 130.00 FOR AN ANALYSIS, AND THEN FORD WOULD ADD IT TO THEIR DATABASE OF PROBLEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION. THE RECALL STATES ABS MODULES ARE HAVING VALVE PROBLEMS BUT FORD HAS LIMITED THEIR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PROBLEM TO CERTAIN MODULES. PER THE RECALL I TALKED TO THE GAVE THEM THE DATA ON MY ABS LABELS BUT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHICH DATE CODE,ETC IS COVERED BY FORD. ANOTHER CALL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE RESULTED IN A SCRIPTED RESPONSE OF WE DON'T KNOW WHICH MODULES ARE COVERED AND WHY MY CAR IS NOT. ESCALATING TO THE "MANAGER OF CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS ANOTHER BRICK WALL, THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME THE SPECIFICS OF THE MODEL/SERIAL#, EVEN THE PART NUMBER OR DATE CODE OF THE MODULES COVERED SO THAT I CAN VERIFY WHAT I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE. FORD HAS PUT BLINDERS ON TO THE FACT THAT MORE ABS MODULES HAVE PROBLEMS THAN THEIR ENGINEERS HAVE IDENTIFIED. CHECKING THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY OTHERS WERE TREATED TO THE SAME DENIAL THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED!!

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE POWER STEERING FAILED UPON STARTUP. THE MESSAGE "POWER ASSISTED STEERING FAULT" WAS SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED.

A/C DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR EVEN IF THE COMPRESSOR IS WORKING AND IF IS FULL OF REFRIGERANT. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ISSUES. HOWEVER, CHECKED ON LINE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T40391_DS932098) AND FOUND THAT, AT LEAST 35, OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SOME HAVE SPENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO HAVE IT CORRECTED ONLY FOR IT TO COME BACK AGAIN. IN DOING MORE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS DETERMINED THAT IF YOU TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON BEFORE STARTING THE CAR-ALONG WITH THE FOG LIGHTS) THIS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO DRAIN OUR BATTERIES WITH THE LIGHTS ON AND IS THIS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNIT WHERE TWO ITEMS ARE TIGHT TOGETHER. WE FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD DEVELOP SOME TYPE OF A REBOOT IN THE SYTEM AND RECALL THE VEHICLES TO HAVE THE SYSTEM UPDATED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

POWER STEERING FAILURE , BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND DISCOVED NO POWER STEERING. REPORTED TO RACEWAY FORD IN RIVERSIDE CA, DOUGH HALL SAID THERE'S NO RECALL ON IT AND CAN FIX @ A COSTLY PRICE....HOWEVER...NHTSA'S INITIAL INVESTIGATION OF THE 2010 FUSION CARS FOUND THE POWER STEERING FAULTS INCREASE AS THE CARS GET OLDER, AND FAILURE RATES ARE SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS POWER STEERING INVESTIGATIONS OF OTHER FORD MODELS. SAFETY REGULATORS SAY THE 2016 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION IS NOW UPGRADED TO AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE IF THE 263,000 MODEL YEAR 2010 FORD FUSION CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED.*DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER STERLING FORD LOCATED AT 5524 I-49 FRONTAGE RD, OPELOUSAS, LA 70570 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A DUEL LANE ROAD .THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON., ON THE DASH WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER READING ON LINE AND AT FORD .THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD FUSIONS OF THAT MODEL. IN FACT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011 AND12 FOR THIS BUT NOT THE 10 AND IT SHOULD BE

WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN, MY "CHECK POWER STEERING SOON" WARNING CAME ON. WITHIN A MILE, THE MESSAGE CHANGED TO "CHECK POWER STEERING NOW" & ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST. IT APPEARS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL, BUT NOT THE 2010 FPRD FUSION HYBRID.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45,THE BRAKES WAS QUICKLY DEPRESS TO STOP FROM HITTING A VEHICLE IN FRONT. WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP THEN HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT HALF WAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP BEFORE HAVING AN INCIDENT.THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.MOST OF THE TIME IS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BREAKING.AFTERWARDS STOPPING AND BRAKING DISTANCE WAS NORMAL. THIS CONDITION IS .LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN FEAR THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP IN TIME.THE TIME WAS DURING RUSH HOUR ON A BUSY CITY STREET.

LOSS OF BRAKES PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR

MY POWER STEERING AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, PARKED THE CAR AND TWO HOURS LATER WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND NO POWER STEERING. NOW I AM HAVING TO PAY 2000 FOR A FIX THAT I SEE HAS AFFECTED MANY OF THE CARS THAT ARE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE.

WHEN DRIVING STEERING INTERMITTENTLY HAS GONE OUT WITH 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' APPEARING ON THE SCREEN, USUALLY RESTARTING THE CAR WOULD FIX IT. NOW GOING TO WORK CAR DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING, AFTER RESTARTING ADVANCETRAC CAME ON AS WELL AND NOW POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT IS ON PERMANENTLY

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS MAYBE A WHEEL ALIGNMENT NOW MY POWER STEERING ISN'T WORKING AND IN ORDER TO FIX IT THE CAR SHOPS ARE SAYING REPLACE THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. I HAVE ALSO LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE SHARE THIS SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RECENTLY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD BEFORE STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK WARNING LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED.

THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT EITHER THE ABS OR THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT MODULES MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 123,000.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. OVER THE YEARS, AFTER A HARD BRAKING INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE'S ABS SYSTEM WOULD SIGNAL 'ERROR' IT WOULD THEN CLEAR ANYWHERE FROM A MINUTE OR SO TO UP TO A DAY OR MORE. ON THE MOST RECENT HARD BRAKING INCIDENT, THE ABS WHEN INTO ERROR MODE AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS HAS NOT CLEARED THE ERROR. I NOTED THAT THERE IS A RECALL #19V90400 FOR MY MODEL MAKE AND YEAR BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. IT SEEMS ODD SINCE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ABS ERROR ISSUE AFTER HARD BRAKING, TO THE POINT OF SLIGHT TIRE SCREECH, FOR LITERALLY THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IT FINALLY APPEARS TO BE TO THE POINT WHERE THE ERROR WILL NOT CLEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD BEFORE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING.

I HAVE FORD FUSION 2010 BOUGHT USED AND DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS NOW. FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW THE BREAK GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND GETS OUT OF CONTROL, BREAK FAILURE APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. YOU TOTALLY FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CRUSH WITH THE CAR INFRONT OF YOU. IN MY CASE I HAVE TO TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AND WHEN I RESTART THE ENGINE AND DRIVE AND IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS REALLY VERY DENGEROUS IF IT IS IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND IN DRIVING BETWEEN CARS. WHEN I SEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE I FOUND A CBS NEWS ON YOUTUBE PUBLISHED DECEMBER 2019 THAT FORD WAS IS RECALLING FORD FUSION FROM 2006 TO 2020 ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL MADE WITH THIS ISSUE AND TOLD ME THAT TO FIX THE CAR AND KEEP THE RECEIPT FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE, TWICE ONE WHILE DRIVING. I'M NOT ABLE TO FIND THE RECALL BUT YES LOT'S OF INVESTIGATIONS.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DOES NOT STOP QUICKLY.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING IN NY CITY TRAFFIC; THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND WE RECEIVED THE ADVANCTRAC / SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW MESSAGE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED REPLACED. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST 400 DOLLARS ALONE FOR THE PART. I LOOKED AT THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND COUNTLESS PEOPLE SEEM TO HE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THE 2010 FORD FUSION BUT FORD HAS NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR IT YET. I'M STILL DRIVING IT, TIMES ARE HARD I CANT AFFORD THIS EXPENSE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I CAME UP ON MY TURN AND TRIED TO SLOW DOWN. THE BRAKES STARTED TO APPLY AND THEN WENT SOFT AND THE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOORBOARD AS I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS AFRSID THAT I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SAFELY MAKE THE TURN. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO SLOW DOWN, BUT I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP AS THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FULLY STOP THE CAR. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS ABOVE MINIMUM, BUT FILLED TO MAXIMUM AND TRIED TO BLEED BRAKES. DROVE HOME VERY CAUTIOUSLY. REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH DID NOT FIX BRAKE PROBLEM. RESEARCHED PROBLEM FURTHER ONLINE AND FOUND RECALL ON 2006-2010 FORD FUSION, HOWEVER THE BUILD DATES DO NOT INCLUDE THIS CAR BY APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS. OUR FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO HONOR THE RECALL FOR THIS REASON. HAVE ALSO READ OTHER CLAIMS OF 2011 FORD FUSIONS ALSO HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT THE RECALL DID NOT EXTEND FAR ENOUGH TO PROTECT OTHER FUSION OWNERS FROM THIS TERRIFYING SAFETY HAZARD. CONSIDERING TAKING THIS MATTER TO LOCAL MEDIA AS WELL.

MY WIFE SAID SOMETIMES HER CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP AND THE PEDAL DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. A FEW DAYS AGO A CAR IN FRONT OF HER MADE A SUDDEN STOP SO SHE HAD TO HIT BRAKES AND HER PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR SO SHE HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. FROM THAT TIME FORWARD THE CAR HAD NO BRAKES WITH PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING SO I TOOK IT TO LONG LEWIS FORD IN HOOVER AL. THEY CHARGED TO BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH DIDN'T CHANGE NOTHING....STILL NO BRAKES. NEXT, THEY SAID THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER I INSTALLED COULD BE DEFECTIVE SO THEY CHARGED TO PUT ON ANOTHER ONE....THEY SAID THAT THE CAR DOES HAVE BRAKES BUT PEDAL STEAL NOT RIGHT BECAUSE THE PEDAL GOES HALFWAY TO THE FLOOR. THE GUY MIKE CALLED AND SAID THAT THE CAR HAS BRAKES BUT THE SHOP MANAGER FEELS LIKE THE ABS PUMP IS BAD SO I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE I WANT TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE CAR IS SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE. THEY REPLACED THE ABS PUMP AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES ARE GREAT WHICH MEANS THE PUMP WAS BAD ALL ALONG. THE FINAL BILL WAS $2119.00 WHICH BLEW MY MIND. I CHECKED TO SEE IF MAYBE THERE WAS A RECALL ON A 2010 FORD FUSION AND IT WAS ONE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD BUT MY CAR VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. I TRULY FEEL LIKE ALL THE 2010 FUSION SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY. IT'S NOT RIGHT....PLEASE RESPOND AND HELP. MY # I [XXX] . I HAVE NOT PICKED VEHICLE UP YET SO I DON'T HAVE A RECEIPT TO UPLOAD....I WANT PICK IT UP UNTIL TOMORROW INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO TURN INTO A LOCAL SHOPPING MALL. AN ALERT POPPED UP IN THE DASH THAT SAID SERVICE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE COMPANY AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ON THE RACK AND PINION/ STEERING GEAR FOR MY CAR MODEL. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A RECALL AND UNFORTUNATELY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE I HAD. HOWEVER, I FOUND OUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE ISSUE THINKING THAT THEY WOULD SIMPLY ADD MY VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED. I EXPLAINED TO THEM HOW THEY COULD CALL MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE MY CAR WAS BEING REPAIRED TO CONFIRM WHAT I SAID WAS TRUE, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR AND THE SUPERVISOR CALLED A DAY LATER. SHE TOLD ME THAT AT THIS TIME MY CAR WOULD NOT BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. I ASKED HER HOW AND WHY THEY CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS PROTOCOL. I ASKED HER IF THEY DID ANY RESEARCH INTO WHY MY VIN WAS NOT ADDED THE FIRST TIME, OR DOUBLE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN OVERSIGHT AS TO WHY MY VIN WAS NOT ADDED AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT LOOK INTO MY ISSUE OR CLAIM, SHE JUST LISTENED TO THE CALL, AND CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT AT THIS TIME THE WOULD NOT ADD MY CAR TO THE RECALL LIST. I ASKED HER WHO DECIDED TO ADD THE VEHICLES WAS IT FORD OR NHTSA AND SHE INFORMED ME SHE DID NOT KNOW. I AGAIN ASK HER HOW I CAN GET SOMEONE TO REVIEW THIS ISSUE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL AND MATTER. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT. SHE TOLD ME TO CONTACT NHTSA.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING HAS FAILED. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE I GET THE ERROR MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I STARTED RECEIVING THIS ERROR MESSAGE AROUND 70,000 MILES BUT BEFORE I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE ERROR MESSAGE WOULD BE GONE AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD KICK IN AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE EPAS HAS NOW COMPLETELY FAILED. LIKE MANY OTHER FUSION OWNERS HAVE FOUND, ALL FORD DEALERS AROUND THE COLUMBUS, OHIO AREA QUOTE THE REPAIR PRICE BEING IN EXCESS OF $1,600.

AFTER MY DAUGHTER STARTED HER 2010 FUSION, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND WENT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL STEERING WHEN THE WHEEL LOCKED CAUSING HER TO HIT A MAILBOX BEFORE BEING ABLE TO STOP. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT AGAIN STEERING OPERATED NORMAL. THIS SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE SHE'S DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY.

POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT 3 TIMES. WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED I USUALLY STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT IS BACK.

HAD THIS FIXED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO TO THE TUNE OF $1700. HERE WE ARE AGAIN. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS AGAIN. SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING ILLUMINATED WHILE ACCELERATING ON DRY INTERSTATE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THE FIX WILL END UP IN AN ACCIDENT.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED, LOST ALL HYDRAULIC FUNCTION. FOUND RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT FORD IS DENYING THERE WAS A RECALL. BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT BUILT WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME. THE RECALL # 19S54 IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING AND THEY DENY A PROBLEM, YET WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO SMITHTOWN FORD FOR SERVICE THE TOLD ME THE ABS HCU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 1300.00 I NEED FORD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPAIR

HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AND ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. FORD RECALLED THE SAME SYSTEMS FOR THEIR 2010 FUSION. WHY IS MY 2010 FORD FUSION NOT INCLUDED??? FORD MUST EXPAND THEIR RECALL.

TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT TURN ON WHEN DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS ARE ON. PER OWNER'S MANUAL THERE ARE 3 POSITIONS (OFF, PARKING, LOW BEAMS). THE DRL IS ON WHEN: THE IGNITION IS ON, THE HEADLAMP CONTROL IS NOT IN THE LOW BEAM POSITION, AND THE TRASMISSION IS IN OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE WARNING IN THE MANUAL STATES: "ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TURN ON YOUR HEADLAMP AT DUSK OR DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE DRL SYSTEM DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE TAIL LAMPS AND GENERALLY MAY NOT PROVIDE ADEQUETE LIGHTING DURING THESE CONDITIONS DURING THESE CONDITIONS. FAILURE TO ACTIVATE YOUR HEADLAMPS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN A COLLISION." I NOTICED A HEALTHY, ALERT, DRIVER OF THE FORD FUSION FORGETTING TO TURN ON THE HEADLAMP TO LOW BEAM. HE SAID THEY WERE ON, BUT IN FACT THE DRL WAS ON, BECAUSE IF THE LOW BEAM IS NOT ON, THE DRL IS USUALLY ON. WHEN DRIVING, WE NOTICED MANY FUSION MOVING CARS AT NIGHT TIME WITHOUT THEIR TAIL LIGHTS ON. WE BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE THE DRL COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY AND PEOPLE FORGET TO TURN THEIR LOW BEAM LIGHTS ON BECAUSE THE DRL MAKES IT SEEM LIKE LOW BEAM IS ALREADY ON. I NOTICED THIS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHEN WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED AND I DISCOVERED THE LOW BEAMS WERE NOT ON (BUT THE DRL WAS ON). SEE ATTACHED OWNER MANUAL. PER OWNER MANUAL, THIS IS BY DESIGN. REPAIR IS NOT NEEDED. WE TOOK THIS TO A MECHANIC WHO ADVISED IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND NOT A REPAIR ISSUE. WE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED TO CONTACT THE DEALER.

I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON MOST 2010 FORD FUSION BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THIS RECALL AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THIS FAILURE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONES THEY HAVE SEEN. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETED THE REPAIR, NOW THEY SAY THE MASTER CYLINDER IS NOW ALSO LEAKING WHICH THEY AGREED IT WAS NOT WHEN THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN.

THE POWER ASSIST WARNING HAS COME ON 2 X NOW CAUSING ME TO HAVE NO POWER STEERING, ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AN BACK ON IT IS FINE AGAIN FOR A BIT THEN WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED CAR WAS STATIONARY AN WAS JUST PUTTING IN REVERSE, THE OTHER WAS DRIVING DOWN MY SIDE. SO LUCKILY NOT ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEED. THE STEERING FLUID IS FINE IT, I CHECKED THAT. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED REGARDING THIS AN SAFETY WITH DRIVING. AN I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THAT HE WOULD RECEIVE A SECOND NOTICE ONCE THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FARROW-WARD FORD INC. (1524 CITY AVE N, RIPLEY, MS 38663) WHERE HE WAS GIVEN THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DEPRESS TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS HIS BRAKE PEDAL AS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM BEGAN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP DESPITE APPLYING HIS BRAKE PEDAL.

THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED PAIN TO HIS LOWER BACK, BOTH SHOULDER BLADES AND HIS NECK. THE CONTACT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION. THE CONTACT WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT HE COULD HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET AND RECEIVED A REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT HE HAD BEEN INFORMED BY BOTH THEM AND THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HIM TO CONTACT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 215,000. *DT *AS

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON MY CAR CONCERNING THE ABS WAS DEFECTED. I CONTACTED A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AFTER GETTING THE LETTER TO LET THEM KNOW MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO TO APPLY THE BRAKE IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND FEEL AS THOUGH IT ACCELERATES. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE GETTING A SECOND LETTER WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ALONE IN THE CAR ON HWY 72 IN CORINTH MS. I SEEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME GIVE A TURN SIGNAL TO TURN RIGHT. I WENT TO PUT ON THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKES DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. TO AVOID HITTING THE PERSON I HAD TO LEAVE THE HIGHWAY WHICH RESULTED ME HITTING 3 CURBS AND FINALLY THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN A FLOWER BED AT THE RIB SHACK RESTAURANT. AS I NOW FROM THE INCIDENT I AM SUFFERING FROM LOWER BACK PAIN, SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED FROM WRECK. DRIVER SIDE FRONT RIM AND BACK RIM DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR, BOTH TIRES CUT, WHEEL COVERS DAMAGED DRIVER SIDE OF FRONT BUMPER FELL TO THE GROUND. A CITY COP WAS NICE ENOUGH TO POP IT BACK IN PLACE BUT HE SAID IT WOULD NOT STAY BECAUSE THE CLIPS WERE BROKEN. THEIR WAS ANOTHER PART A BRACKET OR SOMETHING BROKE OFF FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR IN CORINTH MS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. THIS BRAKE DEFAULT COULD HAD ENDED MY LIFE LAST NIGHT OR THE INNOCENT LADY THAT WAS TURNING IN FRONT OF ME. VERY THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE BUT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE RELIABLE FOR ALL THE DAMAGES TO MY CAR AND GET THE PARTS HERE TO REPLACE THE ABS. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I AM TO THE POINT I JUST WISH THEY WOULD BUY THE CAR BACK AND SALVAGED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ENGAGED, THE TAILLIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO REFERRED CONTACT TO LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY IS FAILING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THIS CAR. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON NON HYBRID MODELS BUT NOT HYBRID MODELS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IDENTICAL PARTS.

ETB ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ON 2010 FORD FUSION 4CY SE - INSTANT LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE AS TRAVELING 45 MPH HOUR ON ROADWAY, ALMOST CRASHING, AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I'VE REALIZED YOU GUYS ALLOWED FORD TO DO THEIR ONE "RECALL" THAT WASN'T A RECALL, AND NOW ENDAGERING THOUSANDS OF LIVES THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE FAULTY PART!!!! WHY??? I COULD HAVE DIED!!!!

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY USING MANUAL STEERING. FORD DEALERSHIP REPORTS A FAULT WITHIN THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, TO INCLUDE A RECALL FROM FORD FOR 2011 AND 2012 FORD FUSION POWER STEERING SYSTEMS. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE 2010 FUSION WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND AFTER EVEN A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH OF THE ISSUE, IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE . THIS HAS RESULTED IN A $1800 REPAIR BILL FOR A CAR WITH 62K MILES.

MY CAR SUDDENLY POPPED UP A MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND THE STEERING JUST LOCKED UP. SAFELY TOWED IT TO THE DEALER AND THE STERERING RACK NEEDS REPLACED FOR 2,000. THIS IS A RIP OFF FOR A PART THAT COULD HAVE KILLED ME

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010FORD FUSION, STOPPED AT THE USPS TO MAIL A PACKAGE. AFTER RETURNING TO MY CAR, I STARTED MY FORD FUSION TO FIND THAT THE ABS WARNING LIGHT,THE BRAKES WARNING LIGHT AND THE TRACKING WARNING LIGHT ALL ON MY DASHBOARD SIMULTANEOUSLY. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CALLED THE MECHANIC I USE AND HE TOLD ME THAT FORD RECALLED CARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED MIKE PATTON FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ONE NOT RECALLED FOR. THIS. I TOWED MY CARHOME. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD HELP FIXTHIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN WHEN THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER HUSBAND HIT THE WINDSHIELD AS THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS UNAWARE OF ANY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING PRIOR TO THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES INCLUDING A BROKEN NECK, PARALYSIS, AND A STROKE. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF INJURIES IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTO NATION FORD NORTH CANTON (5900 WHIPPLE AVENUE NORTH CANTON, OHIO 44720 (330) 238-3206) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO NORTH CANTON COLLISION (1130 S MAIN ST, NORTH CANTON, OH 44720 PHONE: (330) 499-5171) FOR THE AUTO BODY REPAIRS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AN AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER FORD AFTER THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. *LN*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY FORD CONYERS (1636 DOGWOOD DRIVE CONYERS, GA 30013, 866-792-2917) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

VEHICLE DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. PEDAL TRAVELS TO FLOOR BEFORE EVENTUALLY BRAKING. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. SIMILAR TO VEHICLE CONDUCT COVERED UNDER RECALL 19S54; HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THAT RECALL NOTICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ON LOCAL/STATE ROADWAYS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY HCU, AS WITH OTHER VEHICLE MODEL/YEARS SIMILAR TO MINE. FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS ISSUE SINCE MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ALREADY-ISSUED SAFETY RECALL.

POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING, WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY STEER VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING, HOWEVER IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER THEY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL, IT WAS NOT EASY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT AND THE RACK AND PINION WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS BAD. I HAD THIS REPLACED AT APPROX 70K MILES AND THE REPLACEMENT HAS NOW FAILED. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW

WHEN I PUSH ON MY BRAKES, IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT DON'T BRAKE. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN I'M NOT ABLE TO STOP FAST ENOUGH WHEN ITS TIME.

OUR CAR HAS EXPERIENCED THREE BROKEN WHEEL STUDS TO DATE. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY DEFECT FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATE OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER. WE HAVE PAID THE DEALER FOR THESE REPAIRS. BUT THE SAFETY DEFECT IS NOT A DEFECT BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER? THE BROKEN WHEEL STUDS ARE AWARE OF THE VIN NUMBER?

2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. I WAS LEAVING WORK. EXITING A WAREHOUSE DOWN A RAMP WHEN I WENT TO BREAK AND MY BREAKS FAILED. PROBLEM RESOLVED WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. A YEAR LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET BREAKS WENT OUT AGAIN AS I TRIED TO BREAK AT A TRAFFIC STOP AT A MAIN INTERSECTION. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT FORD IN MARCH, THEY FOUND NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. A FEW DAYS AGO AS I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE, I REVERSED TO GET OUT OF MY PARKING THEN I WENT TO DRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY MY BREAKS WENT OUT A THIRD TIME, THIS TIME THE ABS LIGHT, BREAK LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHTS AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH" EVERY TIME I WAS REQUIRED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO SLOW AND PARK THE CAR. THIS IS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE THAT COULD HAVE ENDED TAKING MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT FORD IN FAIRFIELD CALIFORNIA WHERE I WAS JUST NOTIFIED THE REPAIR COST IS $3,400..WHICH I DON'T HAVE. THE DIAGNOSTICS BY FORD HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN NUMBER IN YOUR SYSTEM IT SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS. PLEASE HELP!

TODAY MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SEVERAL CARS IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES TO STOP. MY DAUGHTER ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND STATED THAT SHE PUSHED ON THE PEDAL HARD AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY DAUGHTER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND STRUCK THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY WITH THIS VEHICLE PER OTHER FAMILY DRIVERS.

THE CAR HE HAD SOLD ME WAS NOT FIX OR READY TO BE SOLD . HE BASICALLY SCAMMED ME OUT MY MONEY HE SOLD ME A LEMON CAR. ITS DRIVABLE YES BUT ITS NOT . THE DEALER KEEP SAYING ITS ALOT OF WORK TO TRADE MY CAR IN . I TOLD HIM ABOUT EVERYTHING THATS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE BACK BREAKS , WHEEL ALIGNMENT, NEW TIRES AND ALL THAT TOGETHER WAS 1000$. NOW I STILL HAVE TO FIX THE AXLE WHICH IS 500 PLUS MY CAR IS SMOKING CAUSE ALOT OF SAFETY HAZARDS LIKE ALMOST CAUSING CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE SMOKING FROM THE CAR IS HEAVY. HE ALSO GAVE ME FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR . ITS BEEN 2 RECALLS AND BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. HE LIED AND SAID HE DID MY REGISTRATION BUT HE DID NOT AND ALSO SAID THE CAR CAME WITH PLATE AND IT DID NOT! I CANT DO PAYMENTS ON THE CAR REGULAR NOW BECAUSE THE CAR IS BASICALLY BREAKING DOWN. IM TRYING TO GET MY FULL ENTIRE REFUND BACK THE 500$ DOWN PAYMENT PLUS THE $980 BACK FROM THE PAYMENTS . I GOT SCAMMED . THE CAR HESITATES ALOT AND WHEN IM DRIVING THE CAR STARTS SWERVING AND ALSO WILL SHAKE . THE BREAKS SQUEAKY AGAIN AND I HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING OIL IN EVERYDAY . HE TOLD ME HE TOOK $1000 OFF OF THE CAR BECAUSE THATS THE LOAN THAT HIS BANKING GAVE ME BUT HE DID NOT! MY BALANCE ON PAYING FOR THIS CAR BEEN $5400 LEFT FOR THE LONGEST AND I BEEN PAYING FOR THIS CAR LIKE IM SUPPOSE TO , ON TIME . I GOT THE CAR FROM KINGS AUTO LLC

POWER STEERING FAULT CODE APPEARED ON THE DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FROZEN. TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR RETURNED IT TO NORMAL MODE. WE COULD THEN DRIVE THE CAR TO THE MONTROSE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SAID IT NEED A NEW ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT. COST $1800 PLUS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 44500 MILES AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAIN.

NHTSA RECALL#:19V904 IS WAY OVERDUE. INITIAL FORD NOTICE SAID THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE 1ST QUARTER 2020. IT'S NOW 3RD QUARTER 2020. I BELIEVE THAT FORD IS HOPING THESE OLDER CARS "JUST GO AWAY".

I GUESS IT IS GOING TO TAKE A FAMILY GETTING KILLED BEFORE ANYONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PROBLEMS IN THE 2010 FORD FUSIONS... IT IS A SHAME... THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE STEERING GEAR ARE THE SAME FROM 2010- AND UP... THEY DID A RECALL ON THE 2011 BUT I GUESS THE LIVES OF THE 2010 OWNERS ARE NOT IMPORTANT.... I SAY WE START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD AND NHTSA FOR ENDANGERING OUR LIVES

TL* THE CONTACT CALLING ON BEHALF OF A CLIENT WHO OWNED A 2010 FORD FUSION.

MY 2010 FUSION IS EXPERIENCING THE STICKING ABS VALVE THAT IS COVERED UNDER NHTSA IDENTIFIER 19V904 BUT THE PRODUCTION DATE IS OUTSIDE OF THE PRODUCTION DATE RANGE FOR FORD RECALL # 19S54. I AM EXPERIENCING THE LOSS OF PEDAL RESISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STICKING ABS VALVE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE LATEST INSTANCE HAPPENED AS I TURNED AND SLOWED AS I CROSSED A RAILROAD TRACK, TRIGGERING AN ABS EVENT. THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY LATER PRODUCTION DATES THAN COVERED.

INTERIOR AC BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE. SAME ISSUE IN A PREVIOUS 2010 FORD FUSION. AIR WOULD FLUCTUATE ON AND OFF AND THEN WILL DIE COMPLETELY. NOTHING FIXES THE ISSUE BESIDES REPLACING BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTOR.

MY POWER STEERING WENT. OUT ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION WHILE I WAS DRIVEING THRU THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINA VIRGINA

I'VE CONTACTED EMPIRE FORD OF ABINGDON VIRGINIA TWICE BY PHONE: ONCE ON AUGUST 27TH AND AGAIN ON AUGUST 28TH 2019, AND WENT IN PERSON TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE 25TH OF SEPTEMBER 2019 AND PHYSICAL HANDED THEM MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION TO GET THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. AS OF YET, JULY 2020, I HAVE HAD NO HELP GETTING MY RECALL FIX, AND YET, FORD CONTINUES TO FLOOD MY MAIL BOX WITH 'URGENT RECALL' MAIL. EITHER THIS IS NOT AN URGENT RECALL OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY; OR MAYBE THE DEALERSHIP IN GENERAL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY. PLEASE ADVISE, OR AT LEAST GET FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO STOP THE HARASSING RECALL MAIL.THANKS

THE FOLLOWING ALERT APPEARS WHEN I START MY CAR: "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". AT THIS POINT, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND TOO HARD TO TURN. AT FIRST, I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND IT WOULD BE FINE. BUT FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL.

THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER STEERING OR TRACTION CONTROL. IT IS DISPLAYING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRACTION CONTROL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS REPLACING THE RACK & PINION WHICH IS $1400. I'VE RESEARCHED A RECALL ON 2011 FUSION'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THE 2010 EXCLUDED? I DO NOT FEEL THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE. THE FAULT OCCURS ALL THE TIME, SITTING, DRIVING, ETC.

DTCS U3000:04, U3000:49 AND U2011:49 APPEARED WHILE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, AND HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE, CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING UNTIL ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAY THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR AND NO SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS THE SYSTEM REBUILDS PRESSURE AND FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD FOR A WHILE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A FAULTY VALVE IN THE SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH NO RESOLUTION OFFERED. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS A REFERENCE NUMBER OF 19S54 FOR THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING WHEEL FROZE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ADVANCE TRACK CAME ON. *TR

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AGAIN AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. THANKFULLY IT WENT OUT ON START UP AND NOT WHILE DRIVING OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN DANGER.

AS I DRIVE AND HAVE TO HIT MY BRAKES HARD TO AVOID CRASHING OR HITTING SOMEONE/OBJECT, MY BRAKES WILL THEN GO TO THE FLOOR BEFORE FULLY BRAKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, WHERE MY BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY AND RESULTS IN EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL.

THE PROBLEM MATCHED EXACTLY WITH RECALL NUMBER 19S54, WHICH WAS MADE FOR THE 2010 FORD FUSION. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY.

MY FAMILY FINANCED OUR 2010 FUSION SEL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011, WAS CERTIFIED USED WITH 7,900 MILES, PURCHASED WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL. MY MOM AND MY SISTER DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS, THEY LOVED IT AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. THEY PASSED IT DOWN TO ME IN 2018 WHEN I GOT MY LICENSE, MY MOTHER TOLD ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CARS AND WHAT NOT TO DO, WE DON'T ABUSE OUR VEHICLES. THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT COMPLETELY WENT OUT AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A GREEN LIGHT IT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR, WITH THE RPM JUMPING UP AND DOWN, SHIFTED HORRIBLY. I THEN DROVE MY POSSESSED CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED THE SAME DAY IN MAY OF 2018 UNDER WARRANTY AND WORKED FINE EVER SINCE (SOMETIMES). THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. EXTREMELY LEAKY 17' RIMS CAUSING MULTIPLE MORNINGS WHERE I WOKE UP TO A FLAT TIRE. FORD SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME STOCK RIMS SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT IT (SAME PROBLEMS EVEN WITH NEW TIRES). TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT THAT'S BEEN FAULTY SINCE 2018 ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIX IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T. AND NOW I FEEL LIKE MY STEERING IS GOING OUT, I SOMETIMES LOSE POWER WHENEVER I TURN LEFT, THE ORANGE STABILITRAK/STABILITY LIGHTS UP ON MY DASH AND IS A LITTLE ROUGH, IN APRIL OF 2020 I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING LEFT, MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED, IF I WOULDN'T HAVE STRAIGHTENED OUT MY STEERING I WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY HIT THE CORNER OF MY PORCH. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE FREEWAY, BOTH ENGINE AND STEERING ISSUES? DEALER SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND THAT IT'S FINE. RIGHT.. NOT WHAT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SAYS I'M 18 ABOUT TO GRADUATE AND GO TO COLLEGE IN SEPTEMBER, I CURRENTLY HAVE NO JOB DUE TO THE QUARANTINE, AND MIGHT HAVE TO CONSIDER PURCHASING A NEW FUSION BEFORE MY CURRENT CAR INJURES/KILLS ME. *TR

I CALLED FORD AND WHILE IT MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MENTIONED RECALL, MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY. WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND KEEP RECEIPT FOR POTENTIAL REIMBURSEMENT IN THE FUTURE.

I TOOK MY CAR TO GRIFFIN FORD IN TIFTON GA FOR THE AIR BAGS RECALL AND THE FUEL TANK RECALL. THEY FIXED THE AIR BAGS BUT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FUEL RECALL. BUT I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE CAR WILL BURST GAS OUT WHILE PUMPING AND GAS LEAK UNDER THE CAR. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT THE FORD PLACE IN TURNER COUNTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CANISTER VALVE SOLENOID. BUT THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL ON IT. I'M CONFUSED NOW I GOT TO BUY ONE AND PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE FAULTY ENGINEERING AND FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AS A MANUFACTURER FOR ALL MODELS AFFECTED NOT JUST CERTAIN VINS THE CAR IS ONE OF THE VINS NOT RECALLED FOR THE ISSUE BUT HAS THE STATED ISSUE LIKE THE OTHER VEHICLES RECALLED, FULLY GROWN HEALTHY MAN CANT EVEN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.FIRD SAYS IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL HAS NO POWER STEERING

OTHER FORD FUSIONS HAVE HAD A RECALL BUT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS ME THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST" WARNING APPEARS ON THE DASH....CAN'T CONTROL VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS..IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE STEERING IS "LOCKED UP"....HAVE TO TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART.... THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

THE POWER STEERING ON MY CAR NO LONGER WORKS. THE VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER SCREEN READS "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND THEN A YELLOW LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOR "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". MY CAR HAS BEEN IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION, WELL MAINTAINED, AND RELIABLE UP UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS RECALLED MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL FOR STEERING ISSUES, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT ASSIGNED THEREFORE FORD WILL NOT REPAIR MY CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ERROR.

I BOUGHT A 2010 FORD FUSION AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 105000 MILES. AFTER 4 MONTHS, NOTICED A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK FROM DRIVERS SIDE. MECHANIC REPLACED THE SEAL AND LEFT CV SHAFT. I PAID $580 FOR THE REPAIR. CAR BROKE DOWN AFTER DRIVING 3 MILES AFTER REPAIR. HAD TO TOW BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY CHANGED THE SEAL AGAIN BUT I NOTICED THE OIL LEAK AGAIN. FEW DAYS LATER IT GOT WORST AND NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AXCEL, SEAL AND BUSHING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS NOW $600. I READ IN A LOT OF FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS. I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE EARLIER. WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT FORD FUSION.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT BY THE THIRD DAY AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD WHO IS IN THE CAR WITH ME AS WELL WHICH IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE SINCE 2016 WITH THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE A IT IS VERY PRICEY TO FIX. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THE 2010 BUT IT'S ONE FOR 2011 AND UP!

REQUEST TO ADD VIN # TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID#: 19V904000. BRAKE PEDAL ALWAYS WENT DOWN MORE THAN NORMAL. IN JUNE 2018, HAD REAR BRAKE PADS, CALIPER AND ROTORS REPLACED. OCTOBER 2018, HAD FRONT ROTORS REPLACED, MARCH 2020 HAD REAR BRAKE, CALIPERS AND ROTORS REPLACED AGAIN. MECHANIC BLED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT ESTABLISH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, BUT TESTED AND THERE WERE NO LEAKS. MECHANIC SAID THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO BE REPLACED THIS OFTEN, THE FLUID IS NOT GETTING WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD SERVICE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THEM TO BLEED THE BRAKES WHEN I JUST HAD A MECHANIC DO IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED THEM TO EXPLAIN, BUT SINCE THE VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL, THEY ARE NOT HANDLING THIS ISSUE PROFESSIONALLY. IT IS THE VALVES WITHIN THE HBS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT THAT IS PROHIBITING THE VALVES FROM CLOSING PROPERLY WHICH IS WHY MY MECHANIC COULD NOT PRESSURIZE THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE SYSTEM. THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND; THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEREFORE, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS VIN# BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL SO REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. THEY WILL NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKES ANYWAY AFTER REPLACING THE VALVES IN THE HCU. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVEN EVERY DAY, AND SAT IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME FROM 2018 TO MARCH 2020. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF WORK DONE. THIS IS A SCHOOL CAR AND I DON'T WANT TO RISK MY CHILD BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE.

'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' THIS SHOWED UP ON MY SCREEN AS I WAS DRIVING AND THEN IT SLOWED ME DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. THEN AFTER A FEW WEEKS MY POWER STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT AND NOW IT SAYS 'SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW'

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION THE THIRD DAY I HAD IT. YES IT WAS A USED VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN(STIFF). I SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT WASN'T FOR MY VEHICLE BUT I HAVE SEEN HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE! I HAVE SEEN THINGS ALL THE WAY BACK FROM 2016 ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BEING FAULTY AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING. BUT WHEN INNOCENT PEOPLE AND CHILDREN DIE DUE TO THIS ARE YOU GOING TO FEEL BAD!

MARCH 29TH 2020 I WENT TO LEAVE MY HOME, STARTED MY CAR AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. ADVANCE TRACK CAME ON AND SO IS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. I'M SO GRATEFUL MY KIDS WERENT IN THE CAR. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS ISNT BEING RECALLED AS MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING ON THE 2010 AS WELL. NOT JUST 2011 2012. STEP IT UP FORD.

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE TRAC HAS STOPPED WORKING. CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER.

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE IN MY CAR, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW AND REALIZED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE YEAR PRIOR TO IN THE YEAR AFTER MY MAKE UP MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUES WHY HAS MY VEHICLE NOT THEN ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM .

INTERMITTENTLY SHOWS BRAKE/ADVANCED TRACTION FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED VERY HARD WHEN IT IS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. SOMETIMES THE FAILURES ARE SEVERAL MONTHS APART AND USUALLY GO AWAY AFTER ONE OR TWO RESTARTS. TODAY THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I AM UNABLE TO CLEAR IT BY RESTARTING THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NOW HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER ONCE MORE. I AM NOT BLAMING THE DEALER AS THEY HAVE DONE WHAT THEY CAN. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION SHOULD HAVE BEEN RE PAIRED BY NOW. TODAY'S PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH ON A CITY ST. IN THE PAST IT MOSTLY HAPPENED WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED.

CAR ACCELLERATION IS SLUGGISH/WEAK AFTER CAR COMES TO COMPLETE STOP. POSES REAL DANGER WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY LEFT TURNS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OTHERS. CAUSE IS DESIGN DEFECT IN VEHICLE/BATTERY AGE COUNTER IN CAR'S COMPUTER. ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE DIGIT. CAUSES BATTERY TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY AFTER CAR REACHES 10 YEARS OF AGE. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AORIL 2010. HAD LOCAL AUTO SHOP RESET COUNTER TO "0". (CAR HAS ONLY 77,000 MILES) NOW FUNCTIONS AS INTENDED. COPY OF REPAIR INVOICE ATTACHED. I WILL SEND COPY TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY RQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT AFTER FILING REPORT HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE PEDAL FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT USED THE PARKING BRAKE AND PULL THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO SUNBELT FORD OF ALBANY LOCATED AT (2926 N SLAPPEY BLVD, ALBANY, GA 31701) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE OTHER MORNING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE CAME ON. NO POWER STEERING. HAVE READ REPORTS OF A RECALL FOR THIS? WHEN I SEARCHED MY CAR BY VIN NUMBER IT DID NOT SHOW AS A RECALL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE OR NOT?
