My airbag has not been repaired because Ford does not have the part. My steering went out while I was in motion. Not a recall for my VIN#

- Twinsburg, OH, USA

This vehicle has been sitting for over a month due to my limited income as a veteran I can not afford to repair this issue at an estimate cost of $1600. This issue is not due to my negligence.power steering assist failure is the issue. I was driving it to work in dallas, nc when I experienced the steering wheel locked as I made a right turn into a parking space. After I struggled to get it into the parking space I also struggle to drive it home as well.once I got the vehicle home I called tindol Ford in gastonia, nc regarding my concern I was informed that I need to have it diagnosed at my expense of $99. Then if it is the epas (electric power assist system) repair estimate cost can be about $1600. This vehicle specifically had a recall before not sure but I think it was for airbag and or seatbelt. Well since then I borrowed a temporary vehicle from family member due to repair cost being expensive. This Ford Fusion has a title lien through bridgecrest, in whom I finance with. Vehicle is almost paid in full.this issue however is not any of negligence but more so a manufacturer issue. The epas consist of a TRW component which consist of everything to this failure such as the hydraulic the belt drive the drive rack the coder interface etc. I had a local mechanic look at it and the observation made was it's a power steering issue that only manufacturer can correct due to the complexity. The TRW is a non serviceable unit. Enclosing I ask that you please contact the manufacturer and look into the facts of this matter which is fault of the manufacturer. I thank you in advance for your time and help with this matter.

My power steering went out in March of 2016. I had to pay out of pocket because there was not a recall on the 2010's just the 2011 and 2012's. well here it is, 2018 and my power steering went out again... I cant see myself paying another $1500 for something that is out of my control. Seems as if it happens while the car is sitting. I can recall driving and a light came across my dash. I didn't know what the light meant and I didn't notice any change with my car until the next morning when I tried pulling out of my driveway. Its extremely dangerous!!!

April 30, 2018 after driving for 3 hours on the highway at appr. 75 to 80 mph the dash lights went haywire, flickering and then the service advancetrac warning came D. I was able to drive it to my exit and drive slowly. I could stop and go very slow. After a mile or 2 the batter light and all the lights came on and the brake light warning light came on. I could feel the car loosing power so I pulled over. At this time it was also chiming that the cross fault system was not available. After turning the car off, it would not start, the radio would play, lights would work and hazards would work.the steering was hard to turn the car was towed to a mechanic shop and I am awaiting a diagnosis. Earlier on April 16, I received a letter from Ford stating they would no longer host the vehicle health report system.

I currently have owned my 2010 Ford Fusion for about a year now. I love my car but I have one problem. Today February 3rd, 2018 my driver side power seat has stopped moving forward or backwards. I had brought my seat all the way back while cleaning my car and now that I am going to drive I went to bring my seat forward again and it will no longer move. I can barely touch the pedal and it is my only way of transportation. This is a safety hazard. I went to have it checked out but no Ford dealer ships would take me to diagnose the problem so I had to go to a different mechanic. I was informed that the motor was bad and in order to fix it at a reasonable price they would have to go to a junk yard and find an other 2010 Ford Fusion with the same exact seat to take the motor out of that seat and put it in my car. I thought this was crazy im going to pay 500$ for them to put an old part in my car. So I then called westborough Ford in Massachusetts to ask them if they can get me the motor and what the cost was. They then continued to tell me that you guys no longer sell the motors seperatly and if I wanted the motor I would have to spend a thousand dollars on a whole new freaking track and motor assembly for my car and would not just get me that one motor that is bad. I am beyond frusterated because the motor should not be just crapping the bed if once its set, its set. Its not one of those things that is adjusted every single day. I am very disapointed in Ford and would like the problem fixed asap.

I had a new battery placed and the oil changed with my local mechanic. I drove 3.5 miles home and, upon turning into my neighborhood, a red "stop safely now" alert flashed. There was no traffic so I proceeded to my home. Approximately 0.2 miles later the car lost acceleration, continuing at 10mph (even with the gas pedal to the floor) before losing all acceleration. I turned the car off and back on. The alarm had cleared. I restarted the car and drove 300 feet when the alarm recurred. I was 50 feet from my driveway so I restarted the car, cleared the alarm and went 15 feet before it recurred, with no ability to move in drive or reverse. I restarted the car a third time and the alarm had cleared again. I was pulling up my driveway at a significant incline when it recurred. I was able to make it up my driveway and park. I called my mechanic and, after a quick on-line search, he informed me there was Ford technical service bulletin 12-5-14 on this specific issue. This was an extraordinarily dangerous situation. This incident occurred without warning. In other circumstances-my wife or children in the car, driving on the highway, driving in rapidly moving traffic- my family's well-being would have been placed at great risk. Ford should not be allowed to jeopardize the safety of my family for a problem they are clearly aware of and are not addressing, I assume to minimize financial losses. What is being done to hold Ford accountable for ensuring the safety of their customers and other drivers on the road who are also placed at risk by this design flaw Ford acknowledges?

The drivers side inside handle won't open car door

- Essexville, MI, USA

While driving upon acceleration increase of speed and slowing down there is a loud wining sound. When driving the vehicle for 15-20 minutes I can smell fuel inside the car. This is not when filling fuel it's while the car is driven for a length of time each day. The battery goes dead when sitting for one to two weeks. We have purchased 2 batteries in 1 year, had cables and connections cleaned and replaced. There has been messages coming up for "check engine" and the fan is noisy when the air or heat is turned up.

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with less than 80K miles on it. The power steering went out on this vehicle while my wife was driving with our 3 year old in the backseat. She was barely able to get it off the road, as well as return the vehicle home. This is extremely dangerous! the only warning light that turned on was the service power steering message and the service advancetrak message. I took the vehicle to my mechanic they were able to see trouble codes, and cleared them. The drove the vehicle about 15 miles and were not able to replicate the problem. We picked up the vehicle 7/11/17 and drove 15 miles home and left for the night. 7/12/15 the morning of, my wife proceeded to drive the vehicle 3 miles and sure enough same problem happened to her while driving. For the life of me I cannot understand this issue. Why is there a recall for the 2011 vehicles but not for 2010, which from my understanding is what sparked the entire recall period. Ford needs to remedy this issue, or provide a fix for the vehicle.

- Kaufman, TX, USA

Takata recall. The recall date for the airbag recall was June 2016 and it has now been nearly a year and Ford still has "no remedy" for this recall. This is extremely dangerous in the case of an accident. In addition, I was not notified of this recall or the electronic throttle body issue that my car also has but now is past the "extended warranty" and they will not fix for free, despite me having made a complaint about it in the past. Last week, I was on the freeway traveling at 70 mph, my car suddenly stopped accelerating and slowed down rapidly. I had been lucky no one was closely following behind me and I was in the right lane and quickly could pull over or I could have been hit from behind at a very fast speed because of the etb failing. I have never been notified of any of the safety issues that my car has. Ford has failed to notify me and I feel that because they did not send me anything, even though they have my address and email, they put me at risk of an accident that could have led to serious injuries.

My Fusion suddenly lost power while driving with engine oil light and battery light on. Luckily there's no car on that road at that time, I stopped the car and turn off and on the car again, then everything was back to normal. But this could be very dangerous. I took my car to dealer and they could not recognize the problem since the engine light was not on when I brought it in. Well, will try another dealer. I loved my first 2006 Fusion so I bought this 2010 Fusion, this problem and how Ford handled it (making it a extended warranty instead of a recall) changed my mind, my next sedan will not be a Ford, period.
