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. I received notice June 1, 2016 of a safety recall for the passenger side airbag. I have queried our local Ford dealership (as well as other dealerships in the dallas area) and have been given no information as to when this safety item will be resolved. I have been told by the local Ford service manager that there appears to be no real urgency to replace this airbag due to cost (it is less costly to deal with lawsuits than with replacement). I was told by the sales director at the same dealership that they would buy my car at black book value as trade-in on another vehicle. When I asked what would be done with my Fusion I was advised that it would be sold somewhere out of the us where there are no recall concerns.

Takata recall -- it is one year since the recall was issued. Ford stated today that still don't have any inflators in manufacture for replacement. The car will be past its lifespan before the recall is complete meanwhile any passenger in the car is at risk. This is an unsatisfactory response to a major safety risk. Nothing has happened yet!

Takata recall. Received letter from Ford in July 2016. We have tried a number of times to have this rectified. But so far we have had no success. Today we were told to wait for a letter from Ford to tell us when it can be fixed. This is not acceptable. It is like riding in a bomb. Please help us if you can. Thank you
