Electronic Stability Control Problems of Ford Fusion Hybrid - part 2

The cars warning lights for hill stop assist, service advance trac, traction control, and the air bags all came on indicating that these safety features we're not working properly. Taken to the dealer and they said its the rcm or restraint control module that failed. The car was in no accidents, and was driving normally. This part is backordered for weeks but Ford would not provide a loner vehicle, so we faced with driving a car that is definitely not as safe as purchased, and the mandated safety features are not working. This problem is happening t many fusion 2013 hybrid owners as seen on the Ford forums, and it needs to be a recall, and people should get a loner car while waiting for these to get fixed.

The wrench symbol was displayed on the control panel when the vehicle lost speed. It felt like it stalled out. Then the engine light came on. The car has very low miles on it and is practically brand new. I did not feel safe.

While pulling out emerging on the highway traffic going approximately 25 mph, I felt a slight shutter in the cars service advancetrac warning light came on. This issue occurred at approximately 25,000 miles as well but the problem cleared itself after a few days in the Ford dealership could not find an error code. We tried turning off and restarting the car as well as using the advance trac button but it doesn't work.

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.

This is the 3rd incident of this same problem, first time reporting it to NHTSA. 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid was traveling at 35mph, normal conditions and abruptly lost all power to the steering system. Steering was almost impossible to influence, hence causing an extremely unsafe condition. Advanctrac also had faults on dash, and would not operate. Rumors indicate this problem is caused by low voltage, tire pressure low, or other issues. This issue could easily lead to injuries and/or death due to this malfunction. Widespread reports of this issue are on the internet, but have not been reported.
