I was driving down the highway on the interstate at a speed limit of 60mph in motion on my way home and it started getting hard to turn my steering wheel which made it hard for me to make a left or right turn when i was exiting the exit. The service power steering popped up on my dashboard and advance trac. So then it ended up changing to say service power steering now which it made it very hard and difficult to…

My drivers side heated seat began to get warmer than usual when i would use it. It would become so warm that i would have to turn it off because it was getting too hot and i was afraid that it would burn me. After a few weeks of this happening the seat heater stopped functioning properly all together. I would press the heated seat button and it would illuminate for a few seconds (maybe 2-3) and then shut off on its…

The inside door handle has a cable attachment to it, when you pull the door handle it moves the lock and the door opens. Today, mine broke. The reason for contacting you, i called the ford location to check for repair, the parts man told me that this door handle problem was the no 1 problem for ford motor cars. Seems to me that they would address the problem, would you think that $150.00 cost for replacement might…

Had several passengers complain that the passenger heated seat was getting too hot and burning their rear end. They would have to turn it off. The a couple of days later my daughter went to turn the heat on her seat and the seat would not turn on. The light would turn on for a few seconds and then go right back off. We have checked the fuses and made sure that the seat is properly plugged in but the passenger seat…

I turned on my driver side seat heater and it go extremely hot in one spot. I had to turn it off and tried it at a later date and same thing. In fact, it was as though it wouldn't turn off since it felt as hot as when it was on. It did eventually cool down. Wow! I now have a hole burnt in my leather seat!!! This is obviously a big problem on two counts ....one could get burnt plus the car could catch on fire. *tr

I kept smelling a burning smell, looked and there's is a burn mark through the seat, burnt a…

My drivers seat features all power controls. The incident is that my drivers seat lost control of the up and down motion. When you press the button on the seat to move the lower section of the seat up or down, it makes noise (like the motor is operating) but the seat does nothing. After careful inspection, i found out that ford uses plastic gears under the seat and one of the plastic gears has a broken tooth. This…

We were sitting stopped at a traffic light when a truck struck us from the rear traveling approximately 50mph. The front seats reclined toward the back seats. I noted that there is a current recall posted on your site. I was never made aware of this from ford. I received the car the same month the recall was issued. I am upset that my car has been to ford several times for repairs and another recall but i was not…

2010 ford fusion hybrid front seat headrest/restraint. The front seat headrests protrude forward well past the preferred alignment of the spine. The driver is compelled to operate the vehicle with head pushed forward. This poor ergonomics has resulted in neck and back pain, headaches, and general discomfort. The manufacturer should consider a redesign and make such redesign available to consumers. *tr

The 2010 ford fusion has poorly designed driver/passenger head restraints. I, of height 5'7", test drove one yesterday, and got no further than 0.25 miles before needing to park. The headrest is angled forward, causing excessive neck strain, and there is no way to adjust its tilt to a more vertical position. I did subsequently complete the test drive, albeit with frequent bodily adjustments. Driving this vehicle…

I just bought a 2010 ford fusion. I know now why they only allow you to test drive these cars around the block. The first time i drove it, i got a burning pain down my neck and a piercing headache. The headrest is a wedge with the greatest protrusion hitting the greatest protrusion of the back of your head. No adjustment of the seat or headrest helps. I tried to return the car immediately, but they refused. This…
