What 2010 Ford Fusion owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Couldn't move steering wheel all of a sudden, drove to store and when I got back in my car, I couldn't turn the wheel and had to get it towed. Nothing happened or changed on the way to the store. When car was first bought, steering would lock up while driving on highway and almost caused accidents multiple times.

Driver side interior door handle stopped working. Unable to open the door from the inside. This is very dangerous if there was an emergency need to exit the vehicle. This happened when I stopped to buy gas and was unable to get out when I turned off the car.
The passenger door latch broke on the inside making the locking mechanism not work or the outside latch . I have seen a recall on other models and makes for this but not mine .
Hello, my name is [xxx]. Recently I bought a ford fuision 2010. I am pretty familiar with cars so I understand the commonly routine of taking care of a car. It's been only 30 days. The first first incident that happened on the parkway my car shut completely down. I got it to work back up but then I got a mechanic to do a tune up. Everything went smooth until I drove about 3,000 miles into the car & it told to me check the engine oil and the brakes. By the time I went to start my car up the lighting slowly faded away. Eventually the car shut off completely and almost rolled down the hill. I immediately put the car into park and put on the emergency brakes. Now the car completely shut down. I replaced the spark plugs and everything. I've been reading about recalls on the model of the ford fusion 2010. I would like to see if I could either get it fixed or possibly a letter to get a new or similar version from the car models dealership. I've also invested so much money into fixing this car and it just seems to be falling apart. The damage was all of a sudden. There was also an oil leak.

Driver's door will not open from inside. The door can only be opened with the outside handle. This happened while trying to get out of the vehcile in a parking lot.
While driving on the highway the left driver side front end of the ford fusion hit the right rear/side of another car on the highway after being cut off by another car weaving in & out of traffic at a high speed. The ford fusion was designated "totaled" by the body shop and insurance adjuster due to the extensive damage. The airbags never deployed. The airbags on this ford fusion were part of the airbag recall and were replaced by the ford dealership within the last 2 years so they should have been in good working order but they never deployed. Very concerning.
