Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured July 21, 2008, to March 4, 2011, and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan vehicles manufactured July 23, 2008, to December 10, 2010. The affected vehicles have fuel vapor canisters whose purge valves may not operate properly resulting in abnormal pressure changes in the fuel tank.
The pressure changes may cause the tank to crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle powertrain control modules and inspect the vehicle for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for this issue and perform a leak test on the Canister Purge Valve (CPV). The fuel tank will be inspected for cracks. The CPV and fuel tank will be replaced as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.

POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL QUIT AT ANY TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ON ROADWAYS WITH 60+ MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. FORD IS RECALLING THE 2011 -2013 MODELS AND OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT WILL NOT INSURE OUR SAFETY IN A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 113,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS I.E. STARTUP IN THE GARAGE, LOW SPEED TOWN DRIVING, AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THIS LAST OCCURANCE HAS ALSO CAUSED A FAULT IN THE ELECTRONIC SWAY CONTROL.

TAKATA INFLATORS. WE WERE MAILED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" LETTER ON JUNE 15, 2016 AND RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE IN JULY 2016. THIS IS OCTOBER 2017 AND OUR AIR BAG RECALL SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF! WHEN I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHERE WE PURCHASED OUR CAR, TO ASK WHEN THIS WOULD BE REPAIRED, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET, BUT TO BE ASSURED, I WOULD BE THE "FIRST ONE CALLED WHEN THERE IS," AND THIS STATEMENT WAS INSIGNIFICANT TO ME, EVEN USELESS. EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, GIVEN THE WARNINGS, SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, NOT JUST INSTRUCTED TO SIMPLY "NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT" UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED! I WAS STRONGLY URGED TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. MY FORD FUSION HAS BEEN THE FAVORITE CAR I HAVE OWNED! IT'S PRIMARY PURPOSE IS FOR MY HUSBAND AND I TO TRAVEL AND TO SPEND TIME WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. RIDING "CHAUFFEUR" STYLE WITH MY HUSBAND WHEN WE TRAVEL IS NOT WHY WE PURCHASED THIS CAR! I COULD UNDERSTAND A WEEK OR TWO, OR POSSIBLY A MONTH, BUT 16 MONTHS WITH NO END IN SIGHT IS RIDICULOUS! WHEN I WANT TO HAVE A DAY OUT WITH MY FRIEND, IT IS EMBARRASSING TO ASK HER TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT FOR HER SAFETY. THIS ISSUE HAS STRONGLY AFFECTED MY DESIRE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT, AND WE HAVE PURCHASED MANY FORD VEHICLES! MY FATHER-IN-LAW RETIRED FROM FORD MOTOR CO. PLEASE CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP! THE DATE I HAVE ENTERED BELOW AS "DATE THIS HAPPENED" REFERS TO THE FIRST DATE THAT WE WERE ISSUED NOTICE THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL WAS IN PLACE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION FOR US IMMEDIATELY, SAFELY, CORRECTLY. P.S. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON VARIOUS PARTS OF OUR 2010 FORD FUSION.

POWER STEERING FAULT
Service brakes, Oct 12, 2017
FOLLOWING A BRAKING EVENT THAT ENGAGED THE ABS SYSTEM, THE BRAKES FELT SOFT OR SPONGY. AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL FULLY A FEW TIMES, THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE. ANOTHER ABS EVENT OCCURRED A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND THIS TIME DEPRESSING THE PEDAL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SOFT BRAKE FEELING HAS PERSISTED FOR WEEKS. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE IS INITIALLY A SMALL AND BRIEF DECELERATION OF THE CAR, FOLLOWED BY AT LEAST 1 INCH OF BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO CAUSE ANY FURTHER BRAKING. FINALLY, WHEN THE PEDAL IS ALMOST FULLY DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES ENGAGE AND THE CAR DECELERATES. THE RESISTANCE FELT IN THE DURING THE TRAVEL OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO CHANGE AS THE CAR WARMS UP, OR AS THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CHANGES. THE RESULT IS THAT BRAKES FEEL UNRELIABLE AND UNPREDICTABLE EVERY TIME THEY ENGAGE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM BEING INVESTIGATED AS A PART OF NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE16017.

CAME O I DID LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS I HAD PUSH A BUTTON. WELL IT DID GO OFF UNTIL A BOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN IT CAME BACK AS I WAS DRIVING AND ALSO THAT'S WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I THEN AGAIN TOLD THEM. WELL SINCE THEN I'M STILL TRYING TO GET IT FIX ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER MAJOR RECALLS THAT ARE ON MY CAR. I DID TELL THEM ABOUT IT AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. FORD DOES NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THE 2010 FORD FUSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO REVERSE, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING BECAME STIFF AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CLASSIC FORD LINCOLN, 8540 TYLER BLVD, MENTOR, OH 44060) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,800. .UPDATED 11/09/17 *BF CONSUMER STATED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING UPDATE 7/25/18*JB

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT- THIS WARNING OCCURS RANDOMLY AND THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR. OFTEN I CAN REMEDY THE ISSUE BY RESTARTING THE CAR, BUT IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND RESTARTING THE CAR WON'T FIX IT. I'VE READ MANY ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. TIME TO ISSUE A RECALL ON 2010 MODELS AS FORD HAS FOR OTHER MODELS.

SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW CAME ON AND ALL POWER ASSISTED STEERING WAS LOST, NO WARNING, FUNNY HOW THEY RECALLED 2011 MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT 2010, VERY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN HAPPENED
