I was not informed by the manufacturer about this recall or when and how to get it repaired. I had to find out online myself when I was searching my VIN.

I had to have my 2014 Ford Fusion repaired on 11/14/17 due to the steering wheel coming loose. I got into my car to drive home on 11/13/17 and noticed that the steering wheel jiggled. I drove 60 miles home. I took it to our mechanic the next day and he said that it was barely hanging on.

While driving on the highway steering wheel became very loose. I was fearful it was going to come off in my hands. I took it Ford and they fixed it. The charged me. It looks like this is becoming a common problem with this year Fusion and not isolated to me as I was told by Ford.I have a video of the steering wheel problem but it is not in a format this site accepts.

I went out to start my vehicle and got warning lights, steering assist needs attention, hill start assist needs attention. Service vehicle. I had no power steering at this point and had to tow the vehicle to the dealer. Just out of warranty at 37K miles. The steering gear had to be replaced. This sounds very similar to what has been happening in the Ford Fusion models which had a recall, but no recall on the hybrids! I'm thankful it happened in my driveway and not on the highway.

I was coming home from work and I get an error message that said "stop safely now". all of a sudden my lights flashed and my car cut off. My car hasn't ran yet. I am in the process of getting it towed to the dealership. Ford, when I called then told me that it wasn't under a recall and I would have to pay out of pocket for everything.

Fusion Hybrid 4-cyl

  • miles
Rack and pinion electronic power assisted steering (epas) failure. My vehicle epas system malfunctioned. I took the vehicle to apple Ford in columbia md for resolution and had to pay $1900 + for a part that in my opinion and based off previous recalls is a Ford manufacturing problem. The issues occurred when the vehicle was moving. All the dash lights flash with no clear indication on what the actual problem was. We took the vehicle in for service and had to leave the vehicle there because we were told it was unsafe to drive.

Fusion Hybrid

  • 22,500 miles
While driving on the highway, the power steering failed. With difficulty, I was able to get the vehicle home. It was especially difficult to turn the vehicle at lower speeds after I left the freeway. The next day, I turned on the car and the steering was working again. For a couple miles, then the power steering loss resumed. I carefully drove it to the dealership on Monday, where it remains.

Vehicle breaks stopped working and went straight to the floor. Also loss of steering. Since both the brakes and steering are electronic I believe there was a electronic failer in the car.

Fusion Hybrid

  • 6,100 miles
On at least 3 occasions when turning left usually a hard left turn and usually when I park the power steering goes out and the dash lights up. It has been to the dealer 3 times and they cannot find a problem but if the steering goes out on a turn at a higher speed it could cause an accident. The dealer said when the problem happens again to drive straight to the dealership and don't turn off the car and that only works if they are open. I am concerned!!!

Pulling into a parking lot warning light came on that said steering fault - service now. I went into my appointment came out started that car to go to the Ford dealer which was approximately 15 miles away and when I started to back out of my parking space - warning light saying "steering failure-pull over safely along with alarms and the traction control light were flashing in warning and I had zero steering capability. Had to call road side assistance. It was less than 50 feet that I had driven from the first warning light. In my opinion if I had been on the interstate or driving in inclement weather the warning light did not give enough warning to safely allow me to get myself and my car out of danger.
