Please help me if there are any solutions to fix my only means transportation and have the customer satisfaction service codes approved for repair.
Was driving down a busy road with my [xxx] and [xxx] , when all of a sudden my steering wheel got super tight and the car shut down. A message stating "power steering assist fault" popped up on my dashboard. There was zero warning before it happened. I just bought this car 3 months ago from a facebook marketplace car dealer. When this incident happened 2 weeks ago, I googled 2011 Ford Fusion recalls and it says NHTSA recalled in 2015. When I'm not understanding is why a VIN number makes a difference, when I'm having the problem on the type of year/model that was recalled. I have been informed about the customer satisfaction program, which expired years before I purchased the vehicle. Again, why should that fall on me? thanks information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I have owned car for almost 4 + years I was roughly at 128,000 when I purchase I gave 159,xxx miles on now. In the past 4 years tires replaced 2 times. I keep having issues with tires needing plugged in front. My brakes have been replaced 3 times rotors 2 times plus struts ball joints tie rod u name it repaired suspension system sucks. I’m sick of having same issues repair. I have thousands of dollars front suspension then always have to fix tires stop for air replace. Ridiculous. Everything has gone wrong with the suspension system. Shocks bad ball bearings. The premium aluminum rims eroding away. I think that is what cause tire issues non stop I’m sick of getting air!!! I can’t afford to keep repairing the steering has became awful pulls yes I’ve had alignments it’s all over the place feels loose makes all kinds of banging clunking noises the wheel locked up had smoke rolling out from front driver side. Smelled terrible car shaking all over around 45 mph . I have more in the front than car is worth transmission jumps all over or jerks hard into drive or reverse I had look at and repaired once all ready door handles in side don’t work!! check engine light always on the cap less fuel area is junk the ring came off. When pumping gas it doesn’t stop it now. So gas is usually on ground running down car side headlight are always getting loose knocking out my headlights. For only have 30,000 from buying it I have spent as much buying the car the equals the cars repairs almost. Chunks of paint in front falls off below grille brakes/steering have defaulted and I have slid across intersection in winter I could have been seriously injuried and of course anothe tire issue today I want my money back and the repair money!!! paid 7,000 put $ into all the time invested roughly 12,000 all together for same damn issues. Car value 3,000 wtf. Make it right Ford!!!! yr cars are junk on certain models recalls never knew they better be getting fix for free.
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.
Service power steering light illuminated, total loss is steering while I was driving. Popping sound. Very dangerous. Goes in and out, sometimes works then suddenly while driving it stops working.
While turning and going slow the steering makes a very bad creaking sound that is impossible to ignore. Have noticed many other people with the same problem on Fusions and nobody knows a fix. I'm not sure who will see this but if it is taken into account Ford needs to recall these as it is very common with Fusions from 2010-12.
Tl the contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the rack and pinion steering was replaced by the dealer sheehy Ford of marlow heights (5000 auth rd, marlow heights, MD 20746 (301) 298-0793) on 11/15/19. The vehicle had been hard to steer in making turns. After the repair the tie rods also malfunctioned. The contact suspects the repair on the rack and pinion steering caused the new issue with the tie rods. The manufacturer was notified and a case was opened as well as the contact was referred to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 98,947.
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 components for my front end frequently break and the transmission has been rough ever since I got my car in 2015.
My alert symbols are just coming on and my steering control has changed. When I try to drive my car now losses power.
Purchased car from seven star auto pensacola florida first problem was horn he never fixed than water pump and time belt I fixed supposed to fixed throttle body but never fixed and also he never installed horn for safety I tried to get refund but I'm in school an d I work and still pay note for a defictive car and I also hit pot hole which caused more suspension damage and dealer still doesn't know how to help me.
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.
When I turn or go over bumps the car makes a loud squeeking/grinding noise. This started to occur after my power steering assist was replaced a month ago. Several reviews also state this is a very expensive fix. My car only has 60k miles on it for a 2011. This is completely unacceptable!.
Squeaking on the left side when going over bumps or turning the steering wheel at low speed on city street.
When ur going 60 mph or faster. It feels like the rear end is swaying. I just bought the car 7 months ago.
One morning I started my car and the steering wheel locked up and a warning "power steering default assist" appeared. I turned the car off then restarted and the power steering was fine. This incident happened 2 more times in February. After the 4th or 5th warning appeared, I made an appointment with the dealership I purchased the car from. The informed me that they could not replicate the problem and that the could not detect a malfunction code. Last week it happened again not just once but twice while I was parked in a hospital parking deck. After the third try, the steering reset itself. The next day the power steering locked up and it did not reset. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. Now they want to stick me with at $2000. 00 repair stating that the problem is not covered under warranty and that Ford does not have a recall. I had the car in the shop three times in 2014 for a problem we thought was the rack and pinion. Again, because the service department could not duplicate the problem, the car now has had more damage to the steering. Thankfully, my son and I made it home across the mountain after his doctors appointment before the car's steering completely locked up.
Made a u-turn received the bell tone and panel display that reads "service advancetrack" and a display in the top left of display panel between rim & mpr meters of an orange car with 2 lines.
Power steering went out on a 55 mph road and the whining noise it makes is unbearable.
My wife, son and I was at a stop light getting ready to turn right and all asudden there was no steering at all locked completey up so we pulled over and tried to restart call and message popped up service brake system, check power steering now, service advance track. The electric power steering had went completey out of the car totally not safe at all. When will there be a recall on such a major issue this needs to be addressed I have read other Fusions with the same problem as mine. This vehicle will not be driven anymore not worth the life of my family over something that should have been recalled years ago by Ford still nothing last Ford I will own.
