2011 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

I WAS DRIVING IN A 45 MILE LANE, MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HOPPED OFF AND POWER STEERING SERVICE NOW CAME ON. MY CAR HIT THE CURB AND LANDED IN SOMEONE YARD. VERY TERRIFYING. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. BECAUSE I DON’T MEET THE GUIDELINES FOR THE RECALL. MY CAR IS OVER 150,000 MILES. AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I FELT LIKE THIS IS NOT OKAY I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 MONTHS AND THE OWNER NEVER TOOK IT IN WHEN IT WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES. IF IT’S ON RECALL IT SHOULDN’T HAVE A TIME FRAME TO GET IT FIX. IF THEY MESSED UP ON THEIR END FIX IT. NOW THEY ASKING ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX ON THEIR BEHAVE.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD FUSION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET IN THE SUBDIVISION THAT I LIVE. I COULD BARELY GET THE VEHICLE HOME. I COULD BARELY TURN THE CORNER. I WAS TERRIFIED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. THERE IS NOT A RECALL FROM FORD ON THIS YET.

THE POWER STEERING ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED ON THESE CARS ONCE BEFORE HAS WENT OUT AGAIN 100 MILES PAST THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE WARNING CAME UP ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME AFTER GETTING HOME THE CAR WAS CUT OFF AND WHEN WE STARTED THE NEXT DAY THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY OUT. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY LONG LEWIS OF MUSCLE SHOALS ALABAMA THAT IT WAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR UNLESS WE PAID ALL BUT $300. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FAULTY PART. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE ON A CURVY COUNTY ROAD.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST SEVERAL TIMES. USUALLY HAPPENED WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING AREA. YESTERDAY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ALARM SHOWS ON DASH. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER AFTER FIRST TIME, THEY SAID NO FAULTS WERE IN COMPUTER, SO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND NO TROUBLE CODES ARE REGISTERED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND FEEL A RECALL IS NEEDED. I DID TAKE IT IN SEVERAL YEARS AGO ON THE RECALL TO CHECK THE SOFTWARE. OBVIOUSLY THAT FIX DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2016 AND HAD IT REPLACED AT KENNY ROSS FORD, ADAMSBURG, PA. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TUESDAY MAY 7TH FOR THE SAME REPAIR AT THE SAME DEALER. TO OPEN THE DOOR, I CAN EITHER REACH THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW AND PULL THE HANDLE OR I CAN PULL THE INSIDE HANDLE ALONG WITH THE DOOR LOCK, WHICH OPENS THE DOOR. I FEEL THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, IT'S VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M 69 YRS. OLD BUT AN OLDER PERSON OR A PERSON WITH LIMITED ABILITIES WILL, NOT MIGHT, BUT WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS RESOLVED NOW.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 FORD FUSION GOING STRAIGHT ON CLEAR ROAD THE BRAKES FAIL AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND OR POTHOLE WHILE PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. ITS LIKE A " PERFECT STORM" IN ORDER TO DUPLICATE IT. YOU HAVE TO BE DRIVING AND ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME PRESS THE BRAKE AND HIT THE BUMP/POTHOLE. THE BRAKES FAIL. THE PEDDLE GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
