2010 FORD FUSION Electrical System Problems

'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' THIS SHOWED UP ON MY SCREEN AS I WAS DRIVING AND THEN IT SLOWED ME DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. THEN AFTER A FEW WEEKS MY POWER STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT AND NOW IT SAYS 'SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW'

CAR ACCELLERATION IS SLUGGISH/WEAK AFTER CAR COMES TO COMPLETE STOP. POSES REAL DANGER WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY LEFT TURNS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OTHERS. CAUSE IS DESIGN DEFECT IN VEHICLE/BATTERY AGE COUNTER IN CAR'S COMPUTER. ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE DIGIT. CAUSES BATTERY TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY AFTER CAR REACHES 10 YEARS OF AGE. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AORIL 2010. HAD LOCAL AUTO SHOP RESET COUNTER TO "0". (CAR HAS ONLY 77,000 MILES) NOW FUNCTIONS AS INTENDED. COPY OF REPAIR INVOICE ATTACHED. I WILL SEND COPY TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY RQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT AFTER FILING REPORT HERE.

THE EV SYSTEM IS NO LONGER WORKING. THE HYBRID BATTERY IS HEALTHY AND THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES IT IS EXPECTED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. MANY OTHERS HAVE NOTED THIS ISSUE AS THE BATTERY "AGING OUT" AS PROGRAMMED BY FORD. A SUGGESTED REMEDY IS TO RESET THE BATTERY TO AGE >0;<10. WITHOUT THIS RESET, THE HYBRID RUNS ON ONLY THE GAS MOTOR. AT TIMES, THIS DELAYS ACCELERATION BOTH FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS AS THE GAS MOTOR (ICE) STARTS BACK UP AFTER STOP. THIS HESITATION CAN EASILY CAUSE A WRECK WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP.

UPON 9 YEARS OF AGE MY 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID (ANY MANY OTHERS) NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AS A HYBRID VEHICLE AND WILL ONLY USE THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE EV MOTOR IS SUPPOSED TO KICK IN FROM A STOP UPON ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHILE IT TRIES TO USE THE EV MOTOR BUT CANNOT DUE TO THIS LIMITATION. WHILE AT ROUNDABOUTS OR WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS.

IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED THAT IN MANY IF NOT ALL FMC 4 DOOR SEDAN HYBRIDS WITH THE 2.5 LITER ENGINE AND NICKLE METAL HYDRIDE BATTERIES, OEM SOFTWARE STARTS TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE ELECTRIC VEHICLE OPERATION SOMETIME AFTER THE HYBRID WARRANTY EXPIRES. THE EFFECT OF THIS IS THE CAR'S ACCELERATION AND FUEL EFFICIENCY IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED AND AUTOMATIC PERIODIC BATTERY RE-CONDITIONING CEASES. THE CAR ESSENTIALLY CEASES TO FUNCTION AS A HYBRID AND THE ENGINE RUNS ALL THE TIME EXCEPT WHEN AT A STANDSTILL. UP TO 70,000 VEHICLES MAY BE AFFECTED. IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THIS ID CONTROLLED BY A BATTERY AGE FEATURE IN THE SOFTWARE. RESETTING THIS AGE TO ANY LOWER VALUE RESTORES COMPLETELY NORMAL HYBRID BEHAVIOR AND PERFORMANCE. FMC HAS REFUSED TO DO THIS INSTEAD QUOTING BATTERY REPLACEMENT FOR $8,000 AS THE SOLUTION. D.O. E. TESTS MANY YEARS AGO SHOWED ROBUST PERFORMANCE OF THE BATTERY OUT TO 160,000 MILES IN...

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT SAYS SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM & SER ICE POWER STEERING

LOSS POWER STEERING IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION ON MY WAY TO WORK. ASSIT FAULT CAME ON. THIS IS FREAKING RIDICULOUS THAT FORD IS NOT STEPPING UP AND TAKING CARE THIS. HOW CAN THEY BE SO CARELESS. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE FRONT SEAT RECLINER DRIVER SIDE. ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ENGINE ISSUES. DISAPPOINTED MY FIRST CAR I PLAYED OFF. NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL CAR DASHBOARD SHOWS 'STOP SAFELY NOW' LOOSE ACCELERATION. TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND CAN DRIVE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TOLD VACUUM PUMP CREATING ISSUE. REPLACED AND CAR OKAY. WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY DURING ACCELERATION 'STOP SAFELY NOW' ENTIRE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING, ACCELERATION. GET CAR TOWED BACK TO SHOP AND TOLD ACID LEAK DEGRADED WIRE HARNESS. BUT ALSO TOLD THEY CAN'T ENSURE THE CAR WILL BE FIXED FROM REPAIRING. HOW DOES A BATTERY LEAK SO BAD WITHOUT ANY CRACKS. NO SHOP CAN CONFIRM THE ACID LEAK IS CAUSING THE BRAKE ISSUE. POSSIBLE ABS MODULE, ELECTRONIC CONTROL, O2 SENSOR REPLACEMENT TOO.

I STARTED MY CAR WHEN LEAVING WORK AND RECEIVED AN ERROR THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I FOLLOWED THE GUIDELINES IN THE BOOK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED. ON RESTART THE ERROR RETURNED. I DROVE CAR TO MECHANIC AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. AFTER TALKING WITH MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE AND STILL NO POWER STEERING. ANOTHER ERROR TURNED ON PRIOR TO LEAVING THE PARKING LOT WITH ADVANCETRAC FAILURE. LEFT CAR AT MECHANIC. ERROR SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER FORD AND LINCOLN CARS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE.

ELECTRIC STEERING START ON HWY ACTING UP PHONE FORD AND THEY SAYS NO RECALL ON THEM BUT I KNOW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM PHONE FORD AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT THE ONE YEAR NWER IS RECALL YET THE THE I HAVE HAS THE SAME PARTS SEE THE LINK FOR MY 2010 FUSION HTTPS://CA.SEARCH.YAHOO.COM/SEARCH?P=2010+FORD+FUSION+STEERING+PROBLEMS&FR=YFP-T&FP=1&TOGGLE=1&COP=MSS&EI=UTF-8

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSHION IN TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WENT OUT AND IT SHOWED POWER STEERING ASSIST HAD WENT OUT I COULDN'T STEER THE CAR WAS LUCKY I WAS NO BADLY HURT IN THIS CAR I BARELY GOT IT TURN TO GET MYSELF OUT OF TRAFFIC THE VECHILE WAS USELESS AND I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AT THE TIME I COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED IN THIS CAR HAVE TORN LIAMENT IN MY LEFT HAND FROM TRYING TO STEER CAR TO SAFELY GET MYSELF OUT OF TRAFFIC AND I'M A NURSE SO I NEED MY HANDS BOTH OF THEM TO PERFORM MY JOB

THE FAN MOTOR CUTS IN AND OUT. WE GAVE REPLACED IT 3 TIMES AND AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS IT WILL CUT IN AND OUT RANDOMLY UNTIL EVENTUALLY THERE IS NO FAN RUNNING AT ALL. IT DOES NOT SEEM VERY SAFE IF THE WIRES OR MOTOR CONTINUE TO SHORT OUT. CHANCE OF A FIRE? PLEASE ADVISE IF ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBKEM.

ABS CONTROL MODULE MALFUNCTION. MAKES BRAKE PEDAL EXTRA SPONGY AND HARD TO BRAKE

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAD THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAR HAS TWO OPEN RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS AND FUEL TANK, ALONG WITH AN EXTENDED ONE ON MY THROTTLE BODY, THEY CAN'T GET MY CAR IN UNTIL NEXT MONTH. I'VE TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS, AND REPLACED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD RESET THE COMPUTER AS THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP AND IS CONTROLLED BY A COMPUTER CHIP.

WE HAD DRIVEN TO A FOOTBALL GAME, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS WORKED, IT TURNED OVER PERFECTLY EVERY TIME, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC IN THE MORNING AND IT STARTED FOR THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE TEST THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP STARTING. CHECKED THE CODES AND IT SAID O2 SENSOR. REPLACED O2 SENSOR. CAR DIED ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE MECHANIC WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHERE VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING 60MPH WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TERRIFYING! I BARELY CHUGGED ACROSS THE LANES AND GOT THE NOSE OF MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A FEW TRIES IT RESTARTED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK THE BATTERY CABLES OFF THE BATTERY FOR THE WEEKEND AS I READ THAT...

BOUGHT USED FORD FUSION ON 9/16/19 FROM FRED BEAN CADILLAC- BUICK IN DOYALSTOWN PA. AFTER ABOUT DRIVING IT FOR 950 MILES ON 10/04/19 AN YELLOW WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR SEEMED TO LOSE POWER. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, ONCE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED THE WRENCH ICON DISAPPEARED. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM AT 7:30AM ON 10/05/19 TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT. WAS TOLD NO ERROR CODE WAS FOUND, BUT LATER THAT SAME DAY WHILE DRIVING HOME AROUND 2:00PM THE WRENCH ICON REAPPEARED AND THE LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED TURNING OFF FROM RT 332 (YARDLEY-NEWTON RD SPEED 55MPH) ON TO STONY HILL RD SPEED 40MPH. ONCE I GO TO A RED LIGHT AT STONY HILL AND YARDLEY LANGHORNE RD INTERSECTION I TURNED CAR OFF, THEN RESTARTED CAR AND WRENCH ICON DISAPPEARED.

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING & ALMOST CAUSED THE DRIVER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN A PARKING LOT. UPON TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE STEERING FAILED & ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO IT. A MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTIC & DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC EPAS TORQUE SENSOR HAD FAILED.

DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON, TEMPERATURE GAGE WENT TO HOT AND CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE MOVING

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST QUIT RUNNING. A FEW WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY; THE CAR QUICKLY DIED AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME AND WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN SINCE THE ANTI-THEFT LOCK LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION POWER STEERING FAILED. I STARTED MY CAR AND RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM HAD A FAULT.

POWER STEARING MODULE HAS GIVEN OUT.

POWER STERRING SOME TIMES WHEN STARTING ,HAVE TO TURN OFF THEM RESTART TO MAKE IT WORK.WINDSHIELE WIPERS INTERMITTEN STOPSWORKING,BLIND SPOT LIGHT,CROSS TRAFFIC,REAR PARKING AID LIGHT COMES ON CANT TURN OFF ALL ON STARTING OFF.

AFTER TWO DAY SOMETHING IS KILLING THE BATTERY.

ON MARCH 7TH, 2019 AT 0600 HOURS, AN ERROR CODE POPPED UP ON THE DASH SHOWING A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THIS TIME AT HOMEOWNERS DRIVEWAY. STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AS THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE STEERING. ACCORDING TO TO NHTSA DOCUMENTATION, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME RELATED ISSUE PROMPTED RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS, HOWEVER 2010 FORD FUSION, WHICH EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM WAS OMITTED FROM ORIGINAL RECALL. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE PROMPTING ANOTHER INVESTIGATION. UNKNOWN WHAT THE SECOND RESULTS YIELDED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHTCAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY STEERING STOPPED WORKING

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL THINGS. AIR BAG WAS RECALLED SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED IT BUT THE LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE RADIO/SPEAKER AND SEAT WARMERS WENT OUT, SOON AFTER THE HEAT/AC WENT OUT, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT VERY OFTEN, PLATE LIGHTS DON'T WORK, VISOR LIGHTS DON'T WORK. THEY'RE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES THAT STARTED AT THE SAME TIME, SO I THINK IT MUST BE ELECTRICAL. THANKS

TAMARA RECALL POWER STEERING JUST WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY . NO WARNINGS .

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAULT. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. IT WILL BE WORKING FINE THEN OUT OF NOWHERE STOP WORKING AND MAKES THE CAR REALLY HARD TO STEER. ITS HAPPENED WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN PULLING IN OR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL IT GETS RECALLED AND FIXED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS.

I DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN AN OFFICIAL RECALL YET DIRECTED BY THE NHTSA. OUT OF 3806 (AS OF DEC 20 2018) THERE ARE 1024 STRICTLY RELATED TO STEERING. I AS WELL AS SO MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO THE FAILING OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK LAST NIGHT AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" CONTINUES TO DISPLAY, RESTARTING VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO FIX AS OTHERS HAVE STATED. AM GLAD THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AS HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER REPORTS. I AM SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING AS OTHERS HAVE IF IT IS GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT THAT KILLS SOMEONE BEFORE THIS INVESTIGATION IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE ITS SOMETHINGS THAT HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN SINCE THIS TIME LAST YEAR, YET PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HAVE IT FAIL, AND NOTHING IS DONE ON FORDS...

MY CAR HAD "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER I STARTED IT IN A PARKING LOT AND THE LACK OF POWER STEERING MADE THE CAR UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. THIS WARNING HAD COME ON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, BUT THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE FORD FUSION 2010 SAYS TO TURN OFF THE CAR FOR 10 SECONDS AND RESTART IF THIS HAPPENS (PGS 213-15). THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM THE PAST FEW TIMES. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT GO AWAY NOW EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH FORD'S EPS SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE 2011-2013 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT, BUT WANTED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.

AFTER GETTING OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND HEADING TO DINNER WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, EVERYTHING WAS OKAY AND RUNNING SMOOTH. WHILE HEADING BACK HOME, THE "SERVICE ADVANCTRAC" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" LIGHTS COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY. SO, I PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS SOLVED NOTHING, FURTHERMORE IT MADE THE ISSUE EVEN WORSE. SIMPLY SEARCH "2010 FORD FUSION" ON GOOGLE AND YOU'LL SEE MANY STORIES JUST LIKE MINE IN A MATTER OF A FEW SCROLLS. THE WORST PART OF THIS WHOLE THING ISN'T EVEN THE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THAT MUST BE PUT INTO THE REPAIR. IF MY POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE WENT OUT WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY TO TELL MY STORY. SO, WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU, FORD? IS MY LIFE WORTH THE $1,500 TO YOU OR WILL YOU LET THIS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNTIL A...
