2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid problems

“The power steering has failed twice recently while driving and the dashboard warning displayed as follows: power steering assist fault. This makes it very hard to steer, dangerous and scary when this happens. Can a recall be issued for my vehicle? I am very disappointed that my 2010 ford fusion hybrid vehicle was left out of the recall even though it was manufactured at the same plant as the 2011 - 2013 models that were recalled. I found this online: Investigation and Recall ContextFederal Probes: The NHTSA investigated 2010–2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ models for sudden loss of electric power steering, logging thousands of complaints.Exclusion of the 2010 Model: Ford issued recalls (such as campaign 15S18) for 2011–2013 models to update power steering control modules or fix motor sensor faults, leaving 2010 models uncovered by the official action.Closure: The NHTSA officially closed its investigation into the 2010 Fusion steering complaints after concluding the failure trend did not warrant a mandatory safety recall, noting drivers could still revert to manual steering.”

“I own a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. The vehicle has a recurring loss-of-braking problem associated with the ABS/ AdvanceTrak system. While driving, the vehicle can suddenly lose normal braking ability and does not stop as it should when I press the brake pedal. The ABS, AdvanceTrak, traction control/hydroplaning and other warning lights illuminate at the same time. I have had to use the emergency/parking brake to help stop the vehicle.The exact underlying component causing the failure is UNKNOWN. The ABS module/ ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU) has been diagnosed and replaced more than once, and the vehicle has also been repeatedly reprogrammed and diagnostic codes cleared. The vehicle has been inspected by three different Ford dealerships for the same recurring problem. The dealerships have performed diagnostic work and repairs, including replacement of ABS-related components. Most recently, 1 paid approximately $1,600 to a Ford dealership for an ABS-related repair. I was told the vehicle was repaired and picked it up on [10-6-26]. Less than 24 hours later, while driving, the vehicle again lost normal braking ability. The same warning lights appeared, including…”

“On June 22 myself and my wife were pulling out of the Food Lion Parking Lot. As we proceeded out to the main Road the gas pedal stuck. The car kept accelerating and know matter what I did I could free the gas pedal. Because of that we hit 3 cars in the intersection. Our car literally exploded putting Myself and my wife in the hospital .My wife has had 3 surgeries for a broken pelvis.She is still in serious condition.Myself I suffered 3 broken ribs and a lacerated liver. Ford should be held accountable for our terrible pain and suffering.?”
