The power steering stopped working making the car dangerous to drive. fault message was "Power Steering Assist Failure" I think. The message went off after the car was restarted and the power steering system is working now.

Steering went out on interstate. Please please call the 2010 into recall
Steering, Apr 25, 2022
On at least two occasions, after cranking car, the power steering fails to work. The console warning message indicated Power Steering Assist Fault. Given that nearly one-third of ALL safety complaints for this vehicle are about steering and that several complaints have noted that the power steering can fail while driving and cause an accident, this issue certainly indicates the need for a recall. Other model years with the identical issue have been recalled.

I was driving one night leaving my aunt’s house , as I’m exiting her apartment complex I noticed my car was rolling into the car while my foot was on the brake. I started to pump the brakes and nothing happened. I put the car in reverse and i mashed the brake to floor so I could stop the car. Once I put the car back in drive to exit, I started to proceed down the street and I came to a stop sign but my car too entirely too long to stop. There were no lights on in the dash. There was brake fluid in the car. The brake pads were in perfect condition. The brakes failed without any warning. I have changed the brake pads and bled them. I have replaced the master cylinder. I found out that there isn’t any issue with the booster. I replaced the ABS control module, nothing has changed. Still no brakes. I found out that this issue was fixed before I bought this car from the previous owner in late 2020 & it costed them about $1500 to fix. The car is not even worth that much. I did research and I found out that this is a common issue among 2010 Ford Fusions and there was a recall on the car back in December of 2019. Ford Motor Co. started sending letters out in January of 2020, obviously the recall window was not open very long. I contacted Ford about this issue and the only thing I was told was take it to the dealer and I’m like how when I can’t drive the car. Also, I’ve called every Ford dealer to ask for an quote to see how much it is to fix the issue and I was told I cannot receive an quote unless they can physically look at the car. I really how Ford does another recall before someone gets killed in a crash or seriously injured. This is totally ridiculous and I am disgusted with car.

I was driving my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and as I was approaching a red signal light I applied pressure to my brakes and seen my dash alert me of my ABS system failing and my advanced Trac needs to be serviced due to my brakes not working properly I was almost involved in a serious collision. i had to pull on my e brakes to prevent injury, in result off I pulled off into the nearest lot and called a tow truck to take me and my vehicle to the dealership I was given a crazy repair charge and i was doing some research and i seen a recall for this issue, however i was advised that my VIN does not have any recalls. This is unsafe and needs to be addressed.
Service brakes, Apr 22, 2022
The brake pedal went almost all the way down before brakes engaged. The brakes did not seem as effective in stopping. There was a risk of rolling into traffic or crashing into another car because I could not stop. Several warning lights come on including messages to "inspect brake system" and "Service advancetrac". A ford dealership has inspected the car and recommends replacing the Hydraulic Control Unit and the ABS Module. They say it is not covered under any recall.
Steering, Apr 21, 2022
The vehicle has an electronic assisted steering system. On many occasions when starting the vehicle the electronic steering system does not engage and it is extremely hard to turn the front wheels. This is increasing in frequency. On 2 occasions the electronic steering stopped working while the vehicle was in motion making a turn. It was very hard for me to steer the car and I am 230 Lbs and 6 foot tall until the electronic steering re-engaged. If my wife was driving the vehicle I have no doubt that she would end up losing control. She is no longer driving this vehicle because of this issue.The car has been garaged most of it's life and only has about 51, 000 miles on it. It is my understanding that Ford had the same issue on the same car in the 2011 model year. My personal mechanic inspected the vehicle and diagnosed this issue,. There are no warnings when this will occur.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While attempting to park his vehicle, the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard and failed to stop as needed. The ABS warning light had remained illuminated on the instrument panel for years prior to the failure.

Service brakes, Apr 3, 2022
I got warning messages for my brake system and AdvanceTrac system which is the ECS in 2010 Ford Fusion. This resulted in an almost complete loss of braking power. For the second time in the past 4 months, I've gotten simultaneous brake warning lights and service advancetrac warning lights when travelling <15mph. It also happened once about 3 or so years ago. This has resulted in an almost complete loss of braking power. I fully depress the brake pedal and the car barely slows down. I had to pull the ebrake the first time so I didn't roll through a stop sign into an intersection. It is incredibly dangerous. What if I was going faster? What if there was heavy traffic, a child in the street? If I was in a parking lot? This is death or injury waiting to happen. After turning the car off and on again, the warning lights go away and the brake system is back to normal. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. There is a recall for 2006-2010 Ford Fusions for a sticking ABS valve but my car was not included in that recall. Ford needs to recall ALL 2010-2012 Fusions for this problem.

Service brakes, Mar 29, 2022
A sudden problem happened when to make the brakes on our 2010 Fusion Hybrid work the pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor. No warning lights came on until the problem surfaced. The warning lights say to check the AdvanceTrac system and the Brake sytem. The car was suddenly unsafe to drive, because if we had to brake quickly we would not be able to do so. A local Ford Service Shop said the HCU and ABS systems need replacing and will cost at least $2,400. This issue is similar to one that was subject to a recall, but our vehicle was not included in that recall. The car is at the Ford shop awaiting parts for repair.

The car started showing a power steering assist fault on the dash and I am unable to steer my vehicle. It went out upon returning home. Luckily I didn’t hurt anyone or myself. The vehicle is safely parked. Contacted ford and was advised this has been an ongoing issue with the year and model. It is also very common. Not sure why they haven’t recalled the part or parts due to the amount of complaints that have been made. I’m in the process of having my vehicle towed to ford for repair. I was advised it’s either the rack or the steering angle sensor.

Upon leaving for work began backing out of the driveway and found the "Power steering assist fault" displayed on my cluster. Tried to turn wheel to test and found power steering was lost (wheel would not turn). Turned off the car to see if it would reset itself. I had no luck. Drove the car around the block to verify the power steering was the only thing lost and car was very difficult to drive, especially navigating corners at lower speeds. Tried to unhook the battery in an attempt to reset the onboard ECUs. Also visually inspected 2x 50a Power steering fuses were in working order. Searched online and found 2011-2012 fusions were recalled, but the 2010 Fusion power steering assist fault has been under investigation for some time.

Ford has a warranty on this for some 2006-2010 models, so I don't know why my car is not covered under this warranty if it's happening to my car too.
