For months I have been resetting my cars "power steering assist fault" by turning my car off and turning it back on and the power steering would suddenly work again. Last night my car took a couple turns on and off for it to work which is the first time it took more than once to reset. Today after church I turned my car on and off 10 times and it still wouldn't reset so I was forced to drive my car home with no power steering, thinking about the fact that if a car served or a kid ran out in front of me, I wouldn't be able to swerve to avoid them. Besides the fact that I can't drive my car to get to and from work this way, I don't have 1500 dollars to fix a problem that should be recalled in my 2010 Ford Fusion as well as the 2011-2012 years. This problem is obviously a result of faulty equipment used in manufacturing and not because of the driver.

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 dealer performed a second diagnostic, which located a failure code for which the air bag restraint module needed to be replaced. The restraint module was not replaced. 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. The failure mileage was 60,000.

The car dash warning lights started to come on one by one. The warning chimes also kept going off dash lights would fade in and out. The air bags would turn off as well as the ABS warning lights would come on. In addition to that the security systems would engage causing the car not to run. I brought car to the dealer and they said it wasn't safe to drive the car. The teach had issues figuring out the problem and said they have never seen before. I was able to find several other owners of the same car and year with the same issue. There is even a you tube video of it happening as well as comments from others with the same issue. The tech had to get Ford engineers involved who also had issues figuring out the problem. It took six weeks! I do not understand if there was others who have had this issue that they have no clue. It cost me 1400 to fix it and where this is a safety issue where air bags as well as security systems effects the car it should be at minimal a bulletin if not a recall. Computer was replaced and there was a faulty wire shorting out the system....updated 07/30/15 updated 10/25/2017

When trying to turn the steering wheel when starting from a stopped position, the power steering was not working and a service advance track warning came on. If I did not have the physical power to turn the wheel, I could have very easily have hit another vehicle. I took the car in for a car wash, and the power steering came back on about 5-10 miles down the road. It went out and back on intermittantly during the next few months. It totally went out somewhere around the end of March or beginning of April. According to "Ford power steering failure reports investigaterd by federal regulators/oregonlive.com" dated October 6, 2014 at 8:46 am "Ford says it's cooperating with the investigation and anyone experiencing power steering problems with their vehicles should contact their dealer". May 12, 2015 I took the vehicle to the Ford dealer and they pulled codes 100410 - unable to communicate with power steering system. Checked for powers and grounds, power and grounds ok. Referred to interactive vehicle diagnostic. They found power steering module/rack failure. Recommended replacement at a cost of #1647.79. They said it was not on the recall at that time. When the mechanic brought the car forward, he also informed me that models produced six months earlier have the old power steering with the fluid. He said I have the electronic one that the newer models have. I recently checked the recall that Ford was having on the Fusion. My VIN # shows 0 recalls. The Fusion recall mentions road salt and other contaminants can cause corrossion and breakage. I live in Wisconsin and feel that my car should be included in this recall. My wife hauls kids and has a hard time trying to drive this car. For safety sake, I feel it should be recalled and fixed immediately.

My power steering is out in my car. It says power asset fault and then it will say service autotrack. I am not the only one I have looked everywhere and there is a lot of people having the same problems that I'm having. It should be recalled. I will tell everyone I know not to get a Ford unless this problem gets recalled. I don't have the 2000 to fix my car.

The driver's side door would not unlock from the outside. I would have to enter the car and climb over to the driver's side to unlock the car. It was an intermittent problem at first and then the latch broke and I had to take my car in for repair. The first repair was under warranty, but the door latch started acting up again. It would not unlock again, intermittently. Then about two weeks ago, the driver's side door would not lock. If I went shopping, I immediately had to take my purchased items home. I could not lock anything in the car. I took it to montrose Ford on 05/01/2015 and they charged me $482.85 to replace the latch and cable.

I own 2 2010 Ford Fusion, I see there is a class action lawsuit regarding the electrical power steering and the NHTSA investigating a possible recall. I had to have mine replaced due to the power steering giving out with no warning. Luckily no one was injured. It costed about $1500 dollars to replace. I had to purchase the new rack from Ford (Ford only part) and now it is happening again. The power steering is starting again. I think there needs to be a recall, there are to many complaints about it. I have been on the Ford forum and the power steering and the fuel evaporation leak are major complaints with the car. My car wouldn't even pass state inspection because it indicates evaporation leak on a cap less system. To find the fuel line leak or fuel neck leak will cost so much money. Both of my vehicles have the exact same problems together power steering and can not pass inspection. There should be a serious recall on these issues. It really ashame Ford won't issue a recall for defective parts because there were no reported injuries, no just totaled cars!

I had been driving for about 5 minutes and traveling at about 45 mph when I felt a reduction in power. The vehicle did not respond to movement of the throttle pedal. Vehicle speed slowly reduced and we braked to a stop at a junction. The vehicle was running rough. The vehicle had almost zero power when pulling away and I had to pull over to allow following traffic to pass. Speed increased slowly over 2 miles of driving to 40mph. Lack of power was again experienced at the next stop junction. We arrived home 1 mile later. In my opinion the limp home mode is totally unacceptable. We were lucky that we were on local roads with little traffic around.

2010 Ford Fusion sel. 2010 Ford Fusion sel. At approximately 50,000 miles I experienced a driver heated seat failure while in a cold climate below 40 degrees, heater element got really hot to the point where it was uncomfortable and burning skin on back and seat then a complete failure of heating element on driver side it seems to have shorted out as the heat control button on dash only stays lit for about three seconds and then goes out, this is a serious defect that could possibly cause a fire inside the seat / seats burning the vehicle (and occupants) inside thereby causing property damage injury or death if it catches on fire and occupant / occupants are sleeping in vehicle. After some research I found out this common in Ford Fusion and has not been recalled by Ford Motor Company.

Noticed on way home that the right rear turn signal was blinking faster than usual. Having had the light bulb replaced under warranty at the dealer less than 2 years ago, I thought this was rather soon for the bulb to have burnt out twice now on a 4.5 year old car. Went through the steps to get to the light, noticed a severe burn mark around the bulb and housing, and am unable to remove the bulb from the housing at all. It is quite obvious that combustion has occurred around the light bulb as there are burn marks. I believe from a quick glance that Ford knows of this safety issue and is ignoring it. I believe there could be fires caused by this defect that is widely reported by searching for Ford brake light melted on any search engine.

The blind spot information system (blis) and cross traffic alert (cta) have stop working. This a safety system. Although it is not standard equipment, I did not order the car with this. I would not be complaining if it was not for the other problems I have had with the vehicle. I have found out this can be very expensive to fix. Somewhere around a thousand dollars for parts, not counting the service charge. I read online where other owners of Ford vehicles have the same problem. It is also something that you become to rely on. If Ford is going to put them of there vehicles, than they should be reliable.

My car started saying power steering warning message, and the wheel very hard to turn, I went to the dealer ship, where I purchase, he told me he couldn't do nothing, I just purchase my Fusion 2010 Ford four months ago.

While driving down a highway, my low tire pressure light came on and I could tell it was very low due to my ability to steer. I pulled in a gas station and tried to fill the tire with air, but it was blown out on the inside wall and remained flat. I put the spare tire on and when I began to pull away, I realized I had no power steering. Warning lights came on in succession for low tire pressure (still?), service power steering and service advancetrac. I was about 40 miles from home and had to drive in slow lanes as steering was very difficult. I read some message boards regarding an investigation into this issue, but can't find a common solution that has worked. Some say to just turn off and restart, others are saying they spend $1500+. I am worried that I will spend the money and the problem may still exist as it sounds like many have experienced. I have cleaned the battery, disconnected it as some have said also. Still the same for now, will have to take it in.

I was driving home from work last night and my car shut off. It shook violently and decelerated to a stop. I read online about the 13N09 consumer satisfaction program and since my car is exhibiting the same symptoms I decided to limp into the dealer. It appears that Ford has decided to extend the warranty on these defective throttle body parts but for some reason my 2010 Ford Fusion with a faulty throttle body position sensor is not covered" if it has been determined that the part is defective in the Ford Fusion then shouldn't all of them be covered" I don't feel that I should have to pay for a faulty part that just happens to also be a safety issue. Ford needs to step up and own up to this issue not profit from it.

Shame on you Ford! hard working middle class family purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion for our son to use while he's in college. While driving the car on 1-95 the check engine light came on and also service power steering. The steering wheel locked and the car was impossible to drive luckily it was a week day so we were able to find a Ford dealership. Well they told us it was a evap pump $340, they reset the power steering sensor and thought they fixed it. Few days later the same thing happened again. Another mechanic told us it was uneven tire pressure that set the sensors off the car drove for an hour and the sensors went off again.there should be a recall too many people are having this problem. This is horrible Ford so many family's rely on your cars for the safety of their family! I will never buy Ford again! power steering warning message as the failure occurred again. Took the car to another Ford dealership and now I was told the front axle has to be replaced $2300. Money pit!! this should not be happening to a 2010 car with 48000 miles on it.

Check engine light first came on 2 weeks ago and car started pulling hard to the right side, while shaking bad! today as I was driving to dealer doing 50mph my service power steering now and advance trac message came on. Lost complete steering while on highway with babies in car! dealer will not even look at it without getting paid first. I guess they are waiting for us to get hurt in their vehicle before admitting to their fault!
