My driver heating element in my seat stopped working. I went to get it fixed and that’s when they noticed the charred heating pad in the seat had burnet makers on it. I have picture showing that the electrical part in the heating pad indicator has black marks around the wires and burnt through the pad and the electrical coils. The seat under the leather part had damage to it. This would have caused a fire. I’m very lucky. I bought the part on [xxx]. I just want to be reimburse from Ford dealership the part cost.

As stated in a previous complaint vehicle has what one professional mechanic diagnosed as an "electrical fathom draw" which drains the battery. The issue with the vehicle started on July 1st which the timing seems ironic since it was the first day of the month. I have taken the vehicle to several qualified mechanics who could not diagnose what was draining the battery. Purchased a new battery and still having the same issue. Each time I had roadside assistance jumpstart the battery they stated it was not the altenator or the starter. No codes to perform a diagnostic like "check engine" light or other warning signs.
The "power steering assist fault" light came on when the car was started and the steering wheel was very heavy and hard to move. Simultaneously, the "service advancetrac" light also came on. The vehicle was later scanned and an internal component failure code "u-3000:04-68" was identified for the power steering motor. This is an internal system failure. The safety risk was to the driver along with other drivers on the road due to the vehicle being harder to control. The failure happened during a 600 mile drive and the vehicle was driven home carefully as no other arrangements could be made. Driver sustained wrist injury and pain at the carpals from increased effort needed to manually steer vehicle. The "power steering assist fault" had previously appeared for a couple seconds upon vehicle start up but had not previously disabled the power steering. It had been originally reprogrammed with the recall in 2016 but the recall re-programming proved ineffective.
The power steering failed on a 2011 Ford Fusion se. The recall supposedly ended after 150k miles and I’m 150 miles over and they refused to do it which is shady. Never had a issue until I passed the certain mileage.
Within one week, my power steering fault came on twice, luckily driving at 5-10mph. But still scary at 10mph. Scary to imagine any faster. It locks up randomly out of no where in the neighborhood. Nothing touched before hand, no indication it was going to lock up, no warning. It locks up and cannot move the wheel so I have put it in park and turned off engine and restart it to move the steering wheel again. On the dash it will say ‘power steering fault’. This is my vehicle I rely on for work and commute for myself and my child. No other vehicle possible for backup. This is dangerous and will not risk driving the vehicle, and at dead end with work and transportation on a busy schedule. I was lucky it did not happen in an intersection or crowded street or freeway and more lucky that my child was with me on one of the two times it happened driving 5mph and not 10mph. Cannot imagine it happen with other vehicles around.
While driving on a major highway during rush hour, at the posted speed limit (65mph) , without any warning the vehicle completely lost any and all braking capability without any prior warning or indication of an issue later on after managing to avoid any type of accident or collision with anything around. I turned the car off, when turning the car back on then and only then I received a dashboard full of lights most important being “service advancetrac” and (!) brake, “check break system”. By reading many other forums with the same car and the exact issues and notifications it says that there is a glitch in the abs module with communicates with the hydraulic control unit which caused complete and catastrophic brake failure. Which could have resulted in a major accident, risking my life, the occupants of my vehicle, and any other vehicle around. Lucky I was able to maneuver my way off to the side of the highway, and slowly make my vehicle come to a stop, then putting it in park, which would be the only way to stop the vehicle from moving or rolling back or forward. I believe this is a very serious issue that must be addressed. The car is now being diagnosed at a Ford dealer at a cost of $200 and probably a repair cost of over $2600 according to others. I’am still waiting after spending $1000 on a car rental to make it to work so I would not risk my job. This is all more money then I even make, these companies need to be held accountable for putting the lives of me and my family and all the other people and families on the road that day. Thank god this did not end differently. The website is not allowing me to upload any photos of the light that appeared on the dashboard only after the incident occurred! I would have liked for people to see incase they experience this same issue.
The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle had failed to start. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics to be diagnosed. The contact stated that a mechanic replaced the starter; however, the failure persisted. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000. The VIN was not available.
On November 28, 2023, I was driving about 30 mph when my power steering completely went out. Two warnings popped up stating “service power steering now” and “service advancetrac”. The two icons with what looks like tires sliding / tcs indicator are also present. I did nothing out of the ordinary and typical driving. I wasn’t on icy roads or speeding. I didn’t hit my brakes in any manner that would trigger a mishap with sliding. But this is scary to have happened and now because it’s winter in idaho, it will be absolutely unsafe for me to operate this vehicle. This needs to be taken care of.
As I drive the powersteering is locking up and my steering assist vault keeps coming on. I have taken my vehicle to clinton , indiana Ford dealer & currently taking it back 11/28 for the same issue. Please help. 765-592-5477.
I was driving on the highway and my power steering suddenly went out on me in the middle of traffic. My 2011 Ford Fusion se had a "power steering assist fault" on my dash and it stopped working, it only had 117k miles on it. I then took it to the dealership to get it diagnosed and they said it was the rack and pinion that needed to be replaced. They told me that its a known problem, and for this generation of Fusion there was an extended warranty for this problem, but only 10 year/150k miles, whichever comes first and my car(12 years old) is now too old to get it replaced at no charge. Said that Ford around 2011 was introducing electric power steering for the first time. The Ford dealership then wanted me to pay out something like $2300 to have them replace the parts needed. This was so incredibly dangerous to have this suddenly happen, I almost wrecked trying to get off the highway during rush hour. I have no clue why Ford would make a car and not make it a mandatory recall to replace parts for the electronic steering. After googling my issue, I found many others having this same problem and getting screwed over by Ford. Please don't keep letting them get away with this. I just want to feel safe on the road in my car.
June2 2023 my car the power steering quit no longer able to steer the car. No longer able to drive the car 2011 Ford Fusion. I noticed there were recalls on steering and electrical my is electrical power steering (no pump). I need to know if I qualify to have it fixed I have reported this to everyone in Ford I know to ask. I need my car. My husband was driving when it happen he made it home safe thankful.
It started in February 2023 no warning lights nothing just when I came to a stop at a red light the car dies it will start right back most of the time but other times when you start it back it's like the starter stays engaged and makes a struttering sound and whole car shakes and you have to hurry and shut it back off and restart it again the longer you drive the car the more it dies when you come to a stop other times it may not do it for days I've almost been in 7 accidents that I've counted bc of this issue bc it dies and ppl think I should be moving and I can't or I just turn at a light and it will die and I can go until I restart it I also think it cause my battery to go out bc I had to replace it not long after this started. It's not been reported to anyone but you or inspected but is available to be anytime. Components affected ( door handle inside passanger side)my 2nd issue is with my passenger side door handle without warning it just stopped working and now you have to roll window down to open from outside my safety could be at risk bc I wouldn't be able to get out of car if there was a crash. It's not been reported, inspected by anyone but is available anytime to be.
Service power steering in 2011 Ford Fusion se 2. 5 l.
The power steering has failed intermittently (at least 5 separate occasions) while driving. The failure was inconsistent between times driven and parked. First time noticed, turned vehicle on and could barely move the wheel. Turned vehicle off and back on and didn't have an issue with the steering wheel or on the road and got home okay. The issue started out this way and then once it was consistent it was unable to operate the vehicle safely. This vehicle is our main vehicle so it happened to myself and to my husband while on his way home from work. However, when the power steering failed was extremely difficult to turn the wheel while driving. We took into dealership and the diagnostics was the electrical power steering is faulty and the traction control has failed. After looking into the issue - we believe our 2011 Ford Fusion may have been one of the recalls that should have been included for the power steering failure recall that was sent to other 2011 Ford Fusions. We did not receive a notification, however after viewing online - Ford recalled 445k vehicles with the same exact issue.
Power steering assist fault I've seen where the 2011 Ford Fusion was recalled for this and mine has failed. Please add my VIN to the list. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me. Thank you.
Tucson, arizona. The incident occurred on about June 10, 2022 around 10:00 a. M. The steering failed just after the car was started by the owner, the dash light "power steering assist fault"turned on and the car was nearly impossible to steer. The car was driven approximately 2 miles straight ahead and parked at home. The car was towed the next day to the aaa service center at 7060 speedway, tucson, az 85710. The owner researched recalls related to steering on the 2011 Ford Fusion; it seems NHTSA campaign 15v340000/Ford recall 15s18/393,623 vehicles affected by 06. 23. 2015. Steering complaints continue to roll in for the 2011 Ford Fusion, yet, the recall has not been extended. Steering issues appear be the same or similar to those issues covered by the previous recall. I wonder why NHTSA has not extended the recall.
Advance trac light abs traction control light came on next thing I know car goes out of control and now my car is totaled total loss smashed right into side of the road brakes failed steering failed and all this popped up moments before and then q truck ran into me my mom went to hospital but is ok I'm fine.
Advancetrac light started turning on, then about the 3rd time the light flashed electric brakes went away and was left with extremely hard to press hydraulic brakes. Just to scan the car Ford wants $200 because they have a proprietary system. . .
On 12/13/21, my son swerved out of an accident and hit a high curb which damaged the driver's side tire. Luckily the air bag did not discharge. Recall 21s12 driver air bag inflator replacement was issued in March of 2021, yet I did not receive a letter, and my car still has not been repaired. Are you waiting for a fatality to occur before providing the dealers with the necessary supplies?.
I have safety concern with my vehicle, because if I am driving there’s a triangle shape light that pops up and when it happened it automatically reduces the speed of the car and sometimes shuts it off while other drivers are driving behind me. This happens to me frequently and the most recent was yesterday 8/9/2021 at a traffic light the vehicle completely shuts off and this is very concerning with my safety and that of my family and I don’t know the problem and how to get it fix. This is a major safety issue and I hope to get an answer from you people and have the problem taking care of. Amadou jobe amadoujobe22@gmail. Com.
The steering wheel becomes stiff and won’t move. . I can not turn it at all if I’m driving. . Which can cause me to have an accident because I can’t even turn the wheel. Also I called Ford here in mississippi and they said my particular VIN was not in the recall for power steering problems but it was in the years that were recalled. My teenager drives this car and that’s how we found out, she called me panicking and that could have ended very badly.
My daughter was driving her Ford Fusion when the power steering stopped working. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

My car has been absolutely fine for the most part until about 4 weeks ago , while I was driving the low tire pressure light came on, so I went and aired up the tires, the low tire pressure light went off but then the service power steering light and advance tire traction appeared at this time im pulling back into my drive way, then I came out my house a few hours to leave and the stirring wheel was locked I tried to drive it and now the strring wheels goes to the right I never had this issue before let alone any warning signs . . I looked into recalls with Ford and it showed my 2011 Ford Fusion had recalls for whats going on, so I called a Lincoln Ford dealership that said bring it in they kept my car for a week and when I picked it up nothing was fixed on it and they had no paperwork to give me the show they fixed it so I returned my car the very next day because when I drove off it was still doing exactly the same thing but worse so now they've had my car for a week and they called me this morning to tell me my car has been doing the same exact thing and it is the wire harness that needs to be fixed and it's not under the recall but it is part of the power steering so I don't get it.
Failure of the throttle body and motor assy. T\internal fault code p2112 caused the power on car to go to limp mode. This created a dangerous situation at highway speeds. The item has been flagged in February 21, 2013 NHTSA action number: pe13003electronic throttle body malfunction NHTSA action number: pe13003 Ford has failed to correct the issue on my vehicle. This occurred 17 Aug 2020. The vehicle was at 152,000 miles and had been serviced regular by Ford since purchase in 2011. This issue should have never occurred. I had stopped at a light and made a right turn on to expressway in rush hour traffic. With no acceleration this became a dangerous situation very quickly. I expected to accelerate to 45mph but could barley creep to 20 mph max.
Driver door won't open from the inside.
Whenever I try to make a left or right turn my dashboard lights up reading �power steering assist fault� and my steering wheel locks up and I can not turn or do anything unless I turn off my car and turn it back on. Sometimes I would have to constantly do this till I can drive. I always notice whenever I have my ac on it makes my power steering assist act up.
No power steering assist. Says "power steering assist fault" and steering is difficult. Vehicle was in motion.
Service power steering light came on while driving on the street and it was hard to steer the car.
Whenever I make a certain turn my wheel locks up and I can no longer turn without wrestling my wheel to turn. My dashboard starts to go off and I get a message �power assist at fault�. I would have to turn my car off and on a couple times for me to be able to drive again without any issues. It gets worse when I'm about to pull out from a parking spot, that's when it mainly starts.
I began getting power steering failure error messages about a year ago on my 2011 Ford Fusion. They would only occur when I started my car, but I would cut the engine off and open the door and the error would go away. A week ago, the error came on and has stayed. I have no power steering and Ford is telling me my vehicle is not under recall based on the VIN. It will cost approximately $2,000 to repair. I don't understand how there is a recall for this problem on 2011 Ford Fusions, but my car doesn't qualify. How can Ford refuse to repair a known issue with this vehicle when they know this is a problem they created when manufacturing this vehicle. If I have to buy a new car, it won't be with Ford which is frustrating because I love my car.
I pulled in my driveway, parked 2011 Ford Fusion and then shut vehicle off. I returned, started vehicle, went to start driving my vehicle out of driveway and the car started beeping and listed that the power steering did not work. I looked it up online and there was a recall for steering: electric power assist system failure (15v340000 or 15s18). I took to dealership and will attach quote which their recommendation is exactly what Ford's recommendation was. However my car doesn't fall into the correct date for this recall, I am happy that I was not driving 75mph down insterstate 70 in wheeling, wv or driving up to west liberty, wv where I work. Either could have resulted in a horrible accident for me, my kids and potentially other vehicles involved. The car has only 73,000 miles on it roughly and is in excellent condition.
The steering wheel started to jerk. Shortly after this happened, the power steering stopped working entirely. The instrument panel displayed a notice that said service power steering now. The tcs light came on when the power steering stopped working.
