CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford significantly updated the Fusion for the 2010 model year. We wish they hadn't

Throttle body issues have led to a ton of reports about a sudden deceleration and loss of power while driving. Ford issued a “customer satisfaction program” in March 2014 that, unsurprisingly, has left very few customers satisfied.

2010 is also the year we started seeing complaints about the power steering failing. Throttle and steering failure? Yeah, that’s why this is a clunker.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the air bag wires failed and caused the air bag warning light to remain illuminated. The dealer performed a diagnostic, which located a failure code that the air bag wires were loose. The dealer adjusted the air bag wires; however, the repair did not correct the failure.

The contact also stated that the heated seat feature failed due to defective seat covers that caused the heating system wires to loosen. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified.
