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 could help the faulty computer issue. So far, I have not experienced this issue again. A couple of weeks before this, I noticed that at speeds of 50 mph the car felt like it was speeding up and slowing down really fast like pulsing.

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.

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.

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.

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

- Gorham, NH, USA

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

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 Ford part. They just keep collecting money from people that have no other option than to have them fix it. Once the dealer opens I am going to be having to get the car towed to the dealer to have issue resolved, and I'm sure be quoted the $1,500-1,800 that others have been quoted, as well as be told "we haven't heard anything about this" until I mention all the reports, much like my door handle that broke, and wasn't until I talked to a different customer support agent that it actually was well known. What I'm seeing is issues which are very common, affecting hundreds to thousands of owners, but Ford continues to says its not their problem, it hasn't been recalled so we must pay to get it fixed and be on our way. Honestly thinking as others that even as happy as I have been in the past with Ford, it will probably not be my vehicle of choice come time to buy a new car as recently issues that should be getting addressed are consistently not being addressed.

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 life is taken"... but that question might unfortunately be too late.
