Steering power assist failure when starting the car, putting the transmission into reverse and begin backing the car out, the steering power assist failure notification displays and the vehicles steering is disabled. although currently occuring only when backing up, i consider this car as unsafe as it seems it could just as easily occur when on the freeway
Yesterday 2/15/2020 out of no where the (service power steering now, and the advance trac light came on under normal driving conditions doing 55mph on a curvy road. the problem is common and very unsafe for drivers. not to mention extremely expensive to fix. now why is it that only some of the cars are covered in the recall when all fords with the newly designed electronic steering are affected by the failure of this system!
The electronic power steering has completely failed. the safety issue this caused could have been easily catastrophic. growing up in non-power steering years i know the effort it took to steer, especially when not moving. however, our 2011 ford fusion , since the electronic power steering failed you can hardly turn the wheel at all. i am thankful my wife was not going at interstate speed and trying to exit when this happened. i looked on consumer report to see if any others or if any recalls were reported. i found that 445,000 were recalled by ford, 2011-2013. many models were recalled for this same problem. however, when i called two different dealerships they said our 2011 was not covered. the dealership said it was only those with certain vin numbers. so, our vehicle not one of the 445,000 recalled, has the same problem, same safety issues is not covered. ford knows there's a problem, but they are failing to admit it. we have just over 71000 miles on this vehicle. like many other before us i am counting on the ntsb to encourage ford to do the right thing and recall these faulty unsafe electronic ...
The service advancetrac and service power steering came on. this happened 3 previous times and this is the 4th time. every time i took it to the dealer. every time i paid for something but they never truly fixed this. they have reset the error twice and made me buy new tires before resetting the error claiming worn tires were the root cause. now happening again with new tires. this creates a dangerous circumstance when power steering suddenly goes out.
Steering system has completely locked on initial starting vehicle. car will shift into drive and reverse, but will not steer left or right. this happened on two occasions, 2/14 and 15/2020. steering will only become operational after car has become heated, after approximately 20 minutes. this all happened early morning hour of temperature of approximately 8 degrees. this also happened on my last ford fusion 2010, which i traded in for this ford fusion.
Randomly receiving power steering assist fault and steering/car pulls to side sometimes when going over bumps.
This is a common issue in 2010 fusions as you can find lots of similar experiences. while heading towards an exit on the highway going 70mph, the steering suddenly lost all power steering. two warnings appeared on the display saying "service advancetrac" and "power steer assist failure." everything returns to normal after restarting the car and it happens once again at random.
My car was parked and when i turned it back on i didn't have power steering. it has been diagnosed a ford dealer (dovi motors, cortland, ny) as my power steering gear motor detached due to the bolts corroding that resulted in a loss of power steering and unsafe driving. there is an active recall for the year/make/model of my car for this exact issue but my vin was not included in the recall (number 19s26). this recall needs to be re-evaluated to prevent injury to others affected.
I'm on my way home from work and out of no where my steering wheel tightened up, then a warning noise went off and a message came on in the message screen. the message read 'service power steering now'. it was very difficult maneuvering through traffic with that issue, it was getting tighter, and by me being a female i'm blessed that i made it home. my car was driving perfectly, no ticking noise while turning or anything. i received no warning or anything, usually my car will warn me before the issue gets worse; for instance my oil life, or my tire pressure. i keep a checkup on my car and no issues was detected. i googled the situation and seen numerous individuals saying they had the same issue with the model of car that i possess. i was wondering if there was a recall that i got skipped over on?
Service power steering now is displayed. can't move my steering wheel.
