Well i get out this morning to take my kids to school when i crank the car and we start riding the service advancetrac light came on in blank then the service power steering light came on. so after i drop them off i was on my way home the light continue to blink as i pulled up in my driveway the steering wheel start to get hard to steer so i'll park got out well so i'll part pop the hood got out and check for power steering on to realize that is not one because it's electric. so when i look online to my surprise everybody with a ford fusion is having the same as a problem different year different engine size but same problem no one seems to have a solution because it's many things that can cause the problem is very stressful i think y'all should have that on recall to help better assist people with the problems. unfortunately i hate the fact that my my warranty is up as father with a family of five don't have the money to afford to pay for to get it fixed.

One morning when my wife was getting ready to leave for the gym her car said 'power steering assist fault.' now the car has no power steering and if you try to drive it it flashes 'service advance trac now. sadly we don't have the money to fix this so the car is stuck in the drive way.

Seven wheel studs have broken off on the left-hand side. six since november, 2018. i don't know when they happened or how, but noticed. one broke a long time ago on the back left wheel and i drove on it for several years. i noticed at thanksgiving two more on the front left wheel and fixed it promptly, only driving to pick up parts, replacing all five on the front tire and the broken one of the back tire. in january 2019, i noticed two more on the back wheel sheared off and replaced all five. in april 2019, i noticed two more on the back wheel sheared off and replaced those two. at this point, i am shopping for a new car, but wanted to raise the alarm that there could be something going on with this vehicle. i have 190,000 miles on it and the hubcaps (which are known to fall off on this vehicle) have fallen off on three of the four wheels, including the two that have had problems.

I picked up a screw in my front passenger side tire somewhere on the road and called my insurance company to have someone come change the tire for me. after getting the flat tire changed to a spare, my power steering and advancetrac experienced complete failure upon restarting the car. i took the car to a garage and they told me i needed a completely new power steering rack that could cost $2,800 plus labor because the computer/sensor inside my current rack was faulty. they also informed me that ford fusion model years 2011 to 2014 had been recalled for this exact same reason, but 2010's have not. i experienced no issues with the power steering or advancetrac prior to this. after getting the flat repaired and put back on my vehicle, the power steering code was reset, but the garage told me my power steering could fail at any time while driving and i should drive accordingly if i wasn't going to get it repaired. i have not had the power steering fail again, but ever since the initial incident, my low tire pressure light has been on constantly despite the tire pressure being checked and deemed acceptable multiple ...

Primewell valera touring developed cracks in the sidewall and lost air at highway speed. i found out that there is a recall for these tires. i am trying to get this rectified with the tire distributor, but at this point no luck.

Abs module seems to cause random loss of braking -- vehicle starts braking normally, then sudden loss of hydraulic and pedal goes almost to floor before some braking resumes. it's a relatively infrequent problem ( four times in 6 months) with no apparent trigger, and has happened when pulling straight into a parking spot, stoping for a stoplight, and turning off of a freeway onto an off-ramp. weather conditions during occurerences were dry and sunny twice, raining once, and overcast and about 50 deg f on the most recent (oct. 10, 2018) occasion. an unrelated matter has to do with their wheel lug nuts. they have a two-part constriuction, and the outer layer swells so that it cannot be serviced using the oem tire changing hardware supplied with spare tire.

Battery died due to sitting for a long period of time. even though car was started numerous times during the week. tires lost air twice due to sitting and told not to drive the vehicle.

There has been an investigation on this complaint but it not under my vin number. my car is shaking causing vibration when i'm driving. the tire seems if it's going to fall off the car as i'm driving. there is no light indicating there is something wrong. it does not pick up speed i would have to put my foot all the way to the floor for it to really go anywhere. i'm on the highway everyday going to work. i hope one of these days nothing happens to me or my family because ford won't just take a look at the car when i'm calling them telling them that it's the same problem the recall explains what the problems are. recall #11v57400
