I was driving on the highway at a steady speed when all of a sudden, the gas pedal stopped responding, almost as if i was in neutral. I was able to get over to the shoulder. It took a few tries of restarting the car in order to get it going. The same incident happened again the next week. *tr

I was driving at speeds around 45 when the "advance track" warning appeared, at which time i lost power steering, the day i bought the car used. It's happened a total of around10 times while driving. Once while i was traveling at highway speeds. If the car was turned off then back on, it would clear the fault out. Since this has happened, the car has suffered a complete loss of power steering. When i took the car to…

Upon starting my car in my driveway, a message appeared across the dashboard reading "power steering assist fault" also "service advance trac". I bought this car not even 8 months ago, the mileage being over what a warranty could cover. Twice i was turned away because the vehicle being too "new" the coding could not be detected, reading there was nothing wrong. Clearly with no power steering, and the messages going…

2nd time it happened: while driving, electrical power steering gear failed, steering was hard to turn, dealer reset the failure (power steering assist fault; service power steering now) and steering was working fine again. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be investigated. Thanks *js

Power steering was in a parking lot. It could be steered by man power. Took to ford garage and was the power steering rack. Was advised it could have been very dangerous if it had happened on the highway at high speed and on curves which we had just done that day. *tr

The transmission would seem like it would go into neutral between 1-2 shifts and also on the highway it would sometimes act the same in gear 6. The transmission was changed once by ford. Reprogrammed 4-5 times, and multiple parts changed and still poor performance exist. This vehicle was purchased new from the same dealer that has serviced it and i would like to claim this as a lemon in the state of fl while still…

I have a brand new 2010 ford fusion that has approximately 3000 miles on it. I had a bad experience where the power steering suddenly stopped working while pulling my car out of a parking garage. The vehicle console display showed a 'power steering assist failure' message. I pulled my car over to the side with considerable effort and shut the ignition off. After a few minutes wait, i restarted the car and everything…

2010 ford fusion steering problem - car pulls to the left or sometimes right. Usually when traveling at lower speeds the steering is terrible, it wants to pull the wheel hard to one side, always happens on uneven road surface - sometimes on even roads - every one of my other cars drive perfect on the same road. Took my company car to the dealer to have it looked at - they replaced all 4 tires and did an alignment -…
