2011 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

ONE MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, MY BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE CAR BUT SINCE THE ROAD WAS ON AN INCLINE I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY ROLL TO A STOP PARTIALLY INTO THE INTERSECTION. I DROVE VERY SLOW TO WORK, KEEPING SEVERAL CAR LENGTHS DISTANCE BECAUSE EVEN AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE BRAKES WERE BETTER BUT STILL VERY SPONGY. DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE MECHANIC. SOME DAYS I ONLY HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE HALFWAY AND OTHERS I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE MECHANIC FOR THREE WEEKS NOW. CHANGED MASTER CYLINDER TWICE, NOW LOOKING AT AN ABS MODULE OR HYDRAULICS ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SPONGY AND HAD TO BE PRESSED AT LEAST HALFWAY IN ORDER TO STOP. THIS IS MY SECOND (AND WILL BE THE LAST) FORD FUSION WITH BRAKE ISSUES. THE FIRST CAR WAS TOTALED WHEN THE ABS FAILED TO WORK CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WERE ALWAYS SPONGY ON THE FIRST CAR AS WELL. ANOTHER NOTE TO ADD: WHEN IT RAINS THE BRAKES ARE VERY UNPREDICTABLE. ONE STOP CAN BE HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND THE NEXT BARELY ANY BRAKES AT ALL.

LOST OF POWER STEERING WILL TURNING. CURRENTLY NO POWER STEERING ON CAR WITH "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. PREVIOUSLY WAS ABLE TO GET POWER STEERING BACK BY TURNING CAR OFF/ON, NOW THAT DOES NOT WORK.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT POPS UP WHEN CAR STARTS AND STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE SHOWS WHEN I START THE CAR AND THEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IF I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON, IT GOES AWAY AND POWER STEERING WORKS. BUT THEN ONCE I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL APPEAR AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF LIKE THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS. IT ONLY HAPPENED EVERY SO OFTEN BUT NOW RECENTLY ITS HAPPENING EVERY DAY.

AIRBAG SIGNAL LIGHT ON, NOW OFF, BUT HEAR NOISE SOMETIME I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST OCTOBER, 2 RECALLS ARE INCOMPLETE.

TAKATA RECALL: STILL WAITING 2 YEARS LATER FOR AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. ALL THE WHILE NOONE IS SUPPOSED TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT? FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND THEY SHOULD BE REIMBURSING US FOR TIME AND INCONVENIENCE. FORD NEEDS TO BE PUSHED INTO TAKING ACTION AGAINST TAKATA AND HOPEFULLY REACH A SETTLEMENT OFFER FOR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL- FORD DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. WHEN CONTACTING FORD CUSTOMER CARE THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL UNTIL A REMEDY IS AVAILABLE AND REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILTY IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE.

MY CAR WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AS I NEEDED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THE CAR WAS ON LEVEL GROUND SO IT WOULD NOT ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE. THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND I COULDN'T STOP MY CAR FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAPPENED TO GLANCE AT THE TACHOMETER DURING THE INCIDENT AND SAW THE NEEDLE DROPPING BELOW 4,000 RPM. THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL RPMS AFTER THE COLLISION. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINOR. BOTH VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO LEAVE THE SCENE UNDER THEIR OWN POWER.

AFTER ABS ACTIVATION BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WITH GREATLY REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. NO ABS FAULT LIGHT. RECALL ON EARLIER MODEL YEARS.

ABS ACTIVATED WHILE IN MOTION ON ICY PATCH. BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO PRESSURE AFTERWARDS AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. NEXT FEW TRIPS WORKED FINE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE ABS ACTIVATED IN MOTION ON BUMP AND LOST PRESSURE. NOW BRAKES ARE ALWAYS SLOW TO ENGAGE AND PEDDLE GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE SEAL MECHANIC SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR FORD FUSION AND THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL

"TAKATA RECALL", 2-1/2 YEARS AGO RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE; RECEIVED 2 MORE SINCE YET FORD NOT ABLE TO INSTALL REPAIR YET. FORD SAYS "DON'T RIDE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". HOW LONG IS MY FAMILY TO BE KEPT OUT OF CAR. BE REALISTIC. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE REPAIR NOW NOW NOW! WHAT KIND OF OVERSIGHT ARE YOU MAINTAINING? 2-1/2 YEARS !!!!

I WAS BACKING UP IN MY 2011 FORD FUSION AND THAT ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE

MY CAR HAS BEEN UNDER A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2 YEARS AND THE FRONT SEAT IS UNUSABLE. FORD HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL FIX THIS. WHAT DO I DO? DRIVE AROUND IN A DANGEROUS CAR? DO YOU FORCE FORD AT SOME POINT TO BUY THE CARS BACK OR GIVE US MONEY TO COMPENSATE - I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO AND WHAT NHTSA DOES IN THIS CASE. FORD ESSENTIALLY IS DOING NOTHING.

MY POWER STEER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF ROAD WITHOUT INJURY BUT HAD ONE FLAT TIRE. VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING. MANUAL STEERING IS TO HARD TO MAKE VEHICLE DRIVABLE. LIGHT ON INDICATING "SERVICE POWER STEERING". FORD DEALERSHIP, FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND NHTSA STATES MY 2011 FORD FUSION VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 15S18 RECALL. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL FORD CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN HOPES TO GET THEM TO HONOR RECALL FOR MY VIN BUT THEY WILL NOT ANSWER PHONE TIMES 2 CALLS AT 313-322-3000, ON HOLD FOR 13 MINUTES AND 36 MINUTES. I AM GATHERING DATA TO FILE A SMALL CLAIM COURT. I NEED THE A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL NHTSA REPORT CONCERNING 15V340000. I SPOKE TO APRIL ON 12/25/17 FOR NHTSA WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE "MANUFACTURES" DECIDE WHICH VIN ARE INCLUDED IN RECALL. ALSO I SPOKE TO BRIANCE FROM FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO OBTAIN INFORMATION NEEDED TO FILE COURT CLAIM: NAME OF CEO, STREET ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER OF FORD HEADQUARTERS. I WAS DENIED INFORMATION AND TOLD, "WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE THAT". PLEASE ASSIST.

WHILE DRIVING, BRAKE CALIPER WILL FREEZE UP AND GRIND ON BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, AND PRODUCE SMOKE. NEW BRAKES AND PADS WERE PUT ON 5 MONTHS AGO, AS WELL AS ROTORS TURNED. THE LEFT REAR CALIPER COMPLETELY FROZE. HAD CALIPER REPLACED SEVERAL WEEK AGO AND THE SAME SIDE FROZE AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RISING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

TAKATA RECALL & STEERING FAILURE I HAVE A 2011 FORD FUSION ON WHICH THE STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY THE FAILURE OCCURRED CLOSE TO OUR HOME AND MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHILE FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR SOME LATER MODELS, THEY ARE NOT COVERING ALL VIECHLES WITH THE SAME PART. I AM CONTACTING YOU TO RAISE AWARENESS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND IS STILL IMPACTING PEOPLE. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS THAT ARE MUCH OLDER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A COMPLETE STEERING LOSS. I ALSO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR RESOLUTION OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BY FORD IN JULY OF 2016. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE PROMISE BY FORD THAT THE CAR IS SAFE, HOWEVER, AS I CONTINUE TO READ ABOUT INCIDENTS ONLINE, REALIZE THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE. AFTER ALL, IF IT WERE SAFE THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A RECALL. MY WIFE HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR CONCERNS FOR HER SAFETY. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE TO: 1.ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STEERING ISSUE AND THE RISK IT POSSES AND EXTEND THE RACALL TO ALL AFFECTED VIECHLES 2.EXPEDITE THE REPAIR ON THE AIRBAG RECALL THANK YOU!

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY , I HEARD SOME BELL NOISE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AND GLANCED DOWN TO SEE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WAS NO LONGER "POWER STEERING". I SLOWED DOWN AND PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND SLOWLY DROVE HOME. WHILE AT HOME, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT FORD HAD A RECALL BACK IN 2015 (15S18) FOR THIS SAME YEAR CAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE SAME FACILITY AND WITHIN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING RECALL DATE.

I HAD TWO INCIDENTS WITH POWER STEERING . BOTH TIMES, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP AND THERE WAS MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN THAT STATED ASSUALT ON POWER STEERING. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WORKED AND THE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN DISAPPEARED. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT.

ON AROUND 11/10/17 STEERING BECAME TO HEARD TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A RECALL. THEY REPLACED STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THAT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AT AROUND 3,000 MILES. TOOK IT BACK ON 7/09/18 TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART THEY REPLACED SHORTED OUT AND THAT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO LONG FROM THE TIME THEY REPLACED IT, THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, INSTEAD THEY WANTED FOR ME TO PAY CLOSE TO $4,000 FOR REPAIRS. MY CAR STOOD PARKED FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE I TOOK IT BECAUSE I COULDN'T DRIVE IT AND DID NOT HAVE MONEY FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A RECALLED PART THAT WAS FIXED ONLY LASTED 3,000 AND HAS NO WARRANTY.

BOTH FRONT SPRINGS BROKEN AT 121,000 MILES -- APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM INDICATED ON AUTOMOTIVE BLOGS AND BY FORD CUSTOMERS. DEALER QUOTED $840 TO FIX. BLAMED CLEVELAND SALTY WINTERS ON PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL - A RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED BACK IN 2016. THE FORD MOTOR CO PRESENTLY HAS STILL BEEN UNABLE PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL

ERROR CODE(S) P1450, P0456, FORD FUSION SE 2011, 3.0L V6 (4 VALVE). MY CAR WAS GETTING THE ERROR CODE P1450 (UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUME) THAT WOULD TURN ON THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED FOR A SHORT TIME.. THIS WENT ON FOR A SHORT TIME, I FOUND THAT BY USING THE GAS FUNNEL SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR THE VACUME COULD BE RELIEVED AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES IT STOPED COMING UP. NOW ,1 YEAR AND A FEW DAYS TO THE DATE, IT'S BACK AND I'M GETTING THE ERROR CODE P0456 (EVAP EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM LEAK VERY SMALL) WITH IT.IT MEANS, IN MY CASE, THAT THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER PERGE VALVE (CPV) HAS A SMALL LEAK THAT IS CAUSING A VACUME TO DEVELOP IN THE FUEL TANK. IF THIS HAPPENS ENOUGH TIMES IT CAN CAUSE THE FUEL TANK TO DEVELOP A CRACK, THIS HASN'T HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE THAT I'M AWARE OF YET (I'LL BE CHECKING ON THAT WHILE I CHANGE THE CPV),. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT A LEAKING GASOLINE TANK ISN'T A GOOD THING IN A LOT OF WAYS.

WAS TOLD OVER A YEAR AGO THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAIALBE AND EACH TIME I BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE I ASK ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOT AVAIABLE
