“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11297453, filed 2020-01, 143,000 miles“Our car has experienced three broken wheel studs to date. A recall has been issued for this safety defect for this model and year of vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer state our car is not covered for this manufacturing defect because of the VIN number. We have paid the dealer for these repairs. But the safety defect is not a defect because of the VIN number? The broken wheel studs are aware of the VIN number?”
NHTSA complaint #11340832, filed 2020-07, 110,000 miles“Wheel studs break off. The wheel studs have broken off multiple times while being torqued down at the dealership. They have broken off when I've replaced a tire, they have broken off when other repair shops have worked on them. I have already had them replaced twice, and need to have them replaced a third time.”
NHTSA complaint #11157235, filed 2018-12, 150,000 miles“Power steering has gone out. The tire pressure light has come on and been on. Luckily it has happened at home so the car was not moving. However to fix this known issue the cost is approximately 1500. I have been making payments on this vehicle and have not been able to drive it due to the cost to fix it. I am aware that this is a known issue not only on my car but fusions in general.”
NHTSA complaint #10959528, filed 2017-03, 95,000 miles“I had 2 wheel studs break on the car, just a few months after delivery. Ford did a recall and all wheel studs were replaced in 2011. I believe that 4 more studs have broken since that replacement. They seem to break every 6 months or so. This is a safety defect that Ford should correct (the 1st fix didn't correct the problem).”
