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 the passenger airbag was recalled over a year ago and the part is still unavailable for repair of the airbag. The car is in one of the states that has been identified as a high humidity, and therefore, a high risk state.

Takata recall--I have been trying to get the airbag replaced since the recall came out. The dealer continues to tell me the parts are not available. What am I supposed to do? my family has three affected vehicles, two Ford and a Chevrolet, and we get the same response on all three. We live in the atlanta area, with high humidity. We have no monetary damages to make a claim on in the bankruptcy. No one wants to purchase these cars.

I received notice that my vehicle has airbags which need replacing.my local Ford dealer told me they have nothing to do with the recall and have no replacement for my recalled takata airbags. When I called the numbers on the recall notice I was given no information as to how, who and when my recalled airbags can or will be replaced with newer, good airbags.

I called the bowen scarff Ford dealer in my area to have the airbag replaced today. The response I got was that I have to handle the replacement through this website or the number on the post card I received. Next, I called 888.327.4236 from the postcard and was placed on hold for 33:47 minutes and was disconnected. I would appreciate it if you would call me back with a dealer's number who will give me an appointment to have my airbag replaced.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V384000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Norm reeves Ford superstore in cerritos, California was made aware of the recall and stated that the contact would receive a second letter once the parts became available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I have two complaints. 1) takata recall, Ford sent me the notice about 3 years ago and Ford recall and Ford mechanic shop said that Ford had not made any replaceable air bags these past three years. I just called this week. 11/2/17. Again no airbags had been made. The vehicle could be effected with driving or stationery. 2) door latch stop working and there was a recall on the Ford cars and many recalls that dated back in 2015, but not on the Ford Fusion 2010" why" many owners had complained about the Ford Fusion cars. See:last week's recall covers 389,585 2012-14 Ford fiesta and 2013-14 Ford Fusion and Lincoln mkz cars. Ford says the door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a user latches the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it. Dealers will replace all four door latches.in March, Ford recalled 213,000 2011-13 Explorer SUVS and police interceptor utility vehicles in North America because the spring that controls the interior door handles may prevent the door from latching completely. Ford said it was a different issue than the new recall. In January, Ford recalled 204,945 2010-13 Taurus, Lincoln mks and police interceptor. NHTSA upgraded an investigation into hundred of complaints of doors failing to latch or flying open into nearly 486,000 2011-13 fiesta cars. NHTSA received 207 reports related to the problem, with 65 doors opened inadvertently while the vehicle was in motion. This is a serious safety concern as far as I can tell. Fusion 2010 should have been recalled for sure! 225 dollars to replace at the dealership because Ford "doesn't just sell the spring you have to replace the entire unit."
