On 5 november 2019 while traveling i-270 in maryland without prior warning my brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and the following warning lights came on: brake, abs, and traction control. this vehicle was extremely difficult to slow down or stop on the highway. this repair cost me $1335.53 and sounds very similar to the ford recall announced on december 19th involving 2006-2010 fusions. mine is a 2011.
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.
In august 2016, i cranked my car (a 2011 ford fusion hybrid) in my driveway and noticed the service advancetrac, brake failure system, and abs lights lit up on the dash. i tried to back out and notcied the electric break were not working and the break peddle was to the floor and difficult to press. the car was towed to a ford dealer. they kept the car for a week and could not find a probelm. the lights went off and the probelm was resolved on its own. in august 2019, this probelm happened again. i cranked the car in a parking lot and noticed the same warning lights from 3 years ago were on. i was able to get home, but the brakes were not very responsive and were significiantly further down than usual. i took the car to a ford dealership and they claimed they "reset the system" and the problem was resolved. a few weeks later, the issue reoccured. the dealership said they did not know how to relsove the problem. after about 4 days the warning lights went off and the brakes returned to normal. on october 20, 2019 the ...
The power steering failed to operate correctly and the dash displayed a "power steering assist fault" and "service advancetrac system" warning during startup. the error repeated during several starts and finally became constant.
My car was 100% fine when i drove to work and 3 hours later when i was driving for lunch there was a message that there was a power steering assist fault. thankfully i was not in a busy area because i could barely crank my wheel to turn. there is a recall for 2011 ford fusions but my vin was not included. yet with no indicators my power steering does not work.
Purchased my car from ford in april 2015, have had 0 issues with it, until thursday evening sept 5, 2019. on the way to work, everything was fine. leaving work, everything was fine... until i got on a 55mph highway, in traffic, in heavy rain (due to hurricane dorian entering our area). out of nowhere, my power steering warning and advance trac lights came on and i lost complete steering function in my vehicle. i am almost 5 months pregnant and almost wrecked in 2 lanes full of traffic of other people heading home from work in such weather! upon research, 400,000+ ford fusion 2011's have been recalled over this same exact issue - yet it seems that no one's vin #s match with the recalled vehicles. yet again, over 2000+ recent complaints on nhtsa website as well! this is ridiculous - almost 2 years left to pay on my loan and my vehicle doesn't match the vin for the recall - when obviously, yes it [xxx] well does! i had to call for help because i'm too pregnant to forcefully manhandle the wheel that barely turns 2 inches to either side, to try and steer a vehicle with ...
While taking a one lane exit on the freeway going at 30 miles per hour a wrench light came on and my car completely loss power. the car coasted until it came to a complete stop. this was very dangerous! i could have died. you guys really need to get all of there ford fusions off of the road. i could not accelerate or brake to slow on the freeway. i waited 5 minutes and the car turned on with no problem. my mechanic could not replicate the problem so he said there was no problem. while looking online this is a throttle body issue. which needs to be recalled immediately. i can't work if i can't get there with a car that i've purchased!!! i refuse to drive this car!
Driving on the highway when the power assist steering failure message and advance trac service message came on with an alarm. i pulled off the highway and discovered manual only steering and it was very very difficult to turn the wheel to pull into a parking lot and almost crashed. if i had to quickly swerve to avoid anyone i would have crashed. i had this vehicle serviced when i was notified of the 15s18 recall and ford service only reprogrammed the steering module. they did not replace the unit. i returned the vehicle back to ford service after this incident and they stated that the electronic power assist steering gear had failed.
The wrench light came up on my car. it says it's the throttle control transmission. the car gave no sign or warning about this car throttle. the code coming up is p2111. i believe there was a investigation going on with my situation a few years ago. is this a recall or something that can be fixed because of a recall?
Car came up with "service advancetrac/service power steering now" error codes.
As i was driving down the road (i had my daughter and cousin with me), my wheel started pulling to the left hard. a light comes on saying 'service advance track now'. when i took it to the ford dealership, they told me there is a recall but because my car is over a certain mileage that it's not covered and it'll cost me $2000.00 to fix the problem. i've done some research online and there are lots of others that's having the same problem that i am. i've contacted ford several times and they refuse to fix this issue...even though it's under a recall. i'd really appreciate it someone could get this problem resolved. it's dangerous and now i have to worry about how i'm going to get where my kids and i need to go every day.
1)power steering assist fault error message. no power steering. 2)service trac control error message 3)cruise control sticking at a high speed so can't use it.
My fiance went to start the care to go to work and the power steering assist failure and service advancetrac warnings were on. she couldn't even turn the steering wheel. if she had been driving with our 2 year old son in the cat they could have been killed. there are many others that i have found with the same problems why had this not been recalled, serious injury or death could occur. then there would be multiple lawsuits
My airbag light has been on for a month now and every time i call ford they tell me that my car isn't up for a recall. this is very dangerous and it has affected my horn, or anything else controlling my steering wheel. my power steering has been replaced twice. i need for someone to check into this matter for me please
My alert symbols are just coming on and my steering control has changed. when i try to drive my car now losses power.
