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.

Takata recall - my vehicle has been under a safety recall for 18 months and the manufacturer has still not provided a fix and has no information on when a fix will be available. This is completely unacceptable. The date below for "when did this happen" is the original recall date on my vehicle.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact's vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V384000 (air bags).

Takata recall the recall was issued over one year ago and no remedy is still available. If an accident occurs, I would want my airbags to work properly. Why is it taking so long for Ford to fix it's customer's vehicle airbags" do they not care about our safety or want us to continue buying their cars"

My car is part of the air bag recall, which was issued over a year and a half ago. I still have not been notified that a replacement part is available to fix this serious issue. I have contacted a dealer and was told that they cannot do anything since there are no replacement parts being made available.

Takata recall. We received the recall notice in July 2016 and as of December 2017 we are still being told that none of the dealers have the parts to fix the problem. I would say that qualifies as failing to remedy the problem in a timely manner, but I'm not sure how these things are measured.

Takata recall it has been approx. 2 years since I received a recall notice informing me of a very dangerous condition concerning my air bags. As of this 12/07/ 2017 I have not been able to get this dangerous condition corrected. Ford is unable to address this recall because they have not received the necessary parts. I have received a notice that takata has filed for bankruptcy I want my air bag recall completed and my car equipped with safe airbags.

Takata recall - safety recall notice 16S26/NHTSA recall 16V-384. Received a recall notice dated 7-2016. Have made many attempts to have the airbags replaced since I received the notice until the present. I keep getting the same answer - parts are not available yet to repair the airbags. It has been almost a year and a half and I am still waiting. I called again yesterday and received the same answer. Safety is my primary concern. I don't know how they are allowed to drag this out this long, when this could result in injuries or even death. How can I get this resolved now?
