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.

I have an active complaint #11115533. I also am concerned about my vehicle has been sitting per the agreement I needed to sign for fmc for 3 months, since April 26th. As of today there is no information of when air bag will be available. The tires, hoses brake seals all lose their pliability and seals crack(including brake hoses and caliper seals) not to mention the lessor fact that I pay for sirious radio for the last 3 months with no use of it.

Takata recall I received the recall for my vehicle along with a call and text message. I attempted to contact several dealerships near me to get a rental vehicle until the parts are in to repair the recall. All of them told me they have a 3 month+ waiting list or they just would never call me back. I called Ford and they coordinated with a dealership to supposedly get me a rental vehicle in 2 weeks. I asked if I am just supposed to continue driving the vehicle in the meantime with my toddler in the car knowing the airbag could explode and they said yes. I asked if there was another rental option such as reimbursement for a rental company but they said no. At this time I was told to continue driving the recalled vehicle despite risks.

Takata recall - Ford has been sending me recalls for two years. They state that these infiltrators can causes harm or even death, yet they have told us there are no replacement parts for the last two years. They have no idea when they will have replacement parts. This is extremely unsafe and an unacceptable practice that seems to have no conclusion. How can the NHTSA allow this to occur and leave the american people unprotected.

Takata recall - received first notice in July 2016, at old address - forwarded to new address; called local dealership who indicated parts not available. Called often still not available - received notice 12/17 that parts available spring of 2017 and not to drive with passengers in front row; called Ford - they told me that parts would be available by late may or early June 2018. Finally Ford approved a rental car but I cannot take it out of my home state. My car has sat for almost a year. I travel out of state - hate to fly but drive to visit and consult. I am 75 and making car payment on a car I cannot drive.
