CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford significantly updated the Fusion for the 2010 model year. We wish they hadn't

Throttle body issues have led to a ton of reports about a sudden deceleration and loss of power while driving. Ford issued a “customer satisfaction program” in March 2014 that, unsurprisingly, has left very few customers satisfied.

2010 is also the year we started seeing complaints about the power steering failing. Throttle and steering failure? Yeah, that’s why this is a clunker.

Takata recall. I have for over a year tried to get my airbag replaced. Huntersville, nc Ford has been contacted several times and so far they have refused to replace the airbag. So, I eventually called capital Ford of charlotte, nc about two months ago with no better luck. I contacted Ford, corporate twice and the only response they ache given me is to contact my local dealer. Interestingly enough, I continue to receive mail from Ford reminding me that I need to get my airbag replaced. Each time I am told by the dealer that the part is not available. We are wanting to sell our car, but since the recall is not complete, this is hindering me being able to sell it since a buyer does not want to buy a car with an outstanding recall. So, either Ford should buy the car from me, or replace the airbag.

Our local Ford dealership, in grand junction co, is will not make us an appointment to repair airbag recall, they keep putting us off and making excuses! we received the letter in March on recall (although letter is dated February 2019, we received it in March). We called March 15 to set up an appointment to have it repaired- and have been getting denied ever since. They said that Ford is only sending them 3 kits per week to fix recalls. We continue to ask to be put on the list - they say they are backed up and will call when they have one for us. We are still waiting and it will be may tomorrow! the parts woman-our contact for all of this, is extremely rude and refuses to give any more information! we have been calling since March to check on the status and get car repaired - and she continues to be so annoyed by our request and is very unprofessional! it has been so frustrating, we literally don't know what else we can do! Ford gives us a notice, that our car is dangerous.they are the ones that tell us to take it to their dealership to have it repaired! so we immediately stop driving it. It has been very inconvenient, without a car and sharing rides! we even conveyed this fact to this Ford representative- and she made it known that she could care less! we finally had to start driving car last week- we are desperate! please help us!

2010 Ford Fusion. Consumer writes in regards to passenger frontal airbag inflator safety recall. The consumer stated the vehicle was taken to the dealer to have the airbag recall completed. The dealer informed the consumer the repair could not be completed due to bracket holding the airbag being damaged. The consumer was held responsible for the bracket repair, but could not afford the repair. The vehicle was towed to the consumer's residence, but was returned severely damaged.

Takata recall every Ford dealerships that I call, they don't have air bags to replace. I have been calling since this past year and every dealer says that they don't have the part stock and will call me once they get it. I haven't received a call yet. I called today and they said it takes 3 weeks to receive the part. They said I should try other dealerships. It seems like they don't want to replace the air bag.

Tacata recall. Today I called the anacortes Ford dealership in wa state and spoke with josh in the service department. I told him I had a letter from Ford about a recall. He said that Ford is out of the parts and they aren't able to order any. I asked how long till they can order more and he said maybe a month. So I asked what my options were, if I needed to call back every month. He said the best he could do was add me to his list and keep an eye on it. I explained that my husband had called a few months back and spoke with someone who said they were ordering the part and would be calling him back in a few weeks. He said there was nothing on record of that. I am extremely unsatisfied with the handling of the situation. It's been over a year since I first started getting letters about this recall. The most recent letter I received from Ford Motor Company dated February 2019, states that, 'parts are available to repair your vehicle however, your dealer will need to order parts for your vehicle prior to your appointment.' This is not congruent with what josh said. He said they are not able to order any more at this time.

I am having problems with several things. Air bag was recalled so I took it to the Ford dealership and they replaced it but the light won't go off, after getting my car back from the dealership the radio/speaker and seat warmers went out, soon after the heat/ac went out, the rear driver side tail light goes out very often, plate lights don't work, visor lights don't work. They're are too many issues that started at the same time, so I think it must be electrical. Thanks
