Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact noticed while washing the vehicle that the wheel studs was fractured. The contact mentioned that there was no vibration while driving the vehicle from the wheels. The vehicle was taken to a tire mechanic where it was diagnosed that the wheel studs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to el cajon ford (1595 e main st, el cajon, ca 92021) where they failed to do a diagnosis and informed the contact that the recall was repaired on the vehicle. The vehicle was previously repaired under the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v574000 (wheels). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the recall was remedied with the one-time free repair. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
My fusion was on recall for the lug nuts. I took my car in for the replacement lug nuts. The new lug nuts are not the same size. I found that out by rotating my tires. The lug ranch from my car does not fit properly. The covering over the lug nuts that supports the hub caps stripped when trying to loosen the bolts. A standard four way lug wrench would not fit also. I was fortunate my neighbor was home who had a air gun. He had to use a different size socket to even get them loose. The lug nut covers on the lug nuts are a different size then the old recall ones. I never had a problem before removing the old ones with the lug ranch that was provided with my car. If I have a flat while driving theirs no way of changing the flat unless you have an air gun and a certain size socket. I have a friend who drives a ford fusion that had a tire that needed to be changed. They ran into the same problem with the new lug nuts. They had to call a tire store to come out to their home with an air wrench and a certain size socket to remove the lug nuts. Ford motor company needs to address this problem. Which I doubt they will. They haven't replace the hcu yet on my car that I received a recall on a year ago. Which ending up causing me to wreck the car when my brakes failed and causing damages to my car.
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.

Our car has experienced three broken wheel studs to date. A recall has been issued for this safety defect for this model and year of vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer state our car is not covered for this manufacturing defect because of the VIN number. We have paid the dealer for these repairs. But the safety defect is not a defect because of the VIN number? The broken wheel studs are aware of the VIN number?

Well I get out this morning to take my kids to school when I crank the car and we start riding the service advancetrac light came on in blank then the service power steering light came on. So after I drop them off I was on my way home the light continue to blink as I pulled up in my driveway the steering wheel start to get hard to steer so I'll park got out well so I'll part pop the hood got out and check for power steering on to realize that is not one because it's electric. So when I look online to my surprise everybody with a ford fusion is having the same as a problem different year different engine size but same problem no one seems to have a solution because it's many things that can cause the problem is very stressful I think y'all should have that on recall to help better assist people with the problems. Unfortunately I hate the fact that my my warranty is up as father with a family of five don't have the money to afford to pay for to get it fixed.
Seven wheel studs have broken off on the left-hand side. Six since november, 2018. I don't know when they happened or how, but noticed. One broke a long time ago on the back left wheel and I drove on it for several years. I noticed at thanksgiving two more on the front left wheel and fixed it promptly, only driving to pick up parts, replacing all five on the front tire and the broken one of the back tire. In january 2019, I noticed two more on the back wheel sheared off and replaced all five. In april 2019, I noticed two more on the back wheel sheared off and replaced those two. At this point, I am shopping for a new car, but wanted to raise the alarm that there could be something going on with this vehicle. I have 190,000 miles on it and the hubcaps (which are known to fall off on this vehicle) have fallen off on three of the four wheels, including the two that have had problems.
Primewell valera touring developed cracks in the sidewall and lost air at highway speed. I found out that there is a recall for these tires. I am trying to get this rectified with the tire distributor, but at this point no luck.
While in motion my vehicle does not speed up when coming from a dead stop. Even traveling speeds of 60mph I can not push on the gas and proceed fast enough to quickly switch lanes. It runs high rpms

Recall 11s23 does not fix lug stud fracture causing wheel separation,recall was done yet after done 4 of 5 lug studs broke off while driving right hand front and 2 on left front wheel . Driving straight on freeway. Could cause loss of life
Wheel studs have broken while being serviced by ford, they have broken off when I've removed the wheels, they have broken off when independent repair shops have removed the wheels. Ford covered this under 11s23 (the federal safety agency 11v574000). However, my vehicle was manufactured during the dates specified by ford, has the wheels which exhibit the problem, and has experienced this problem multiple times. Ford says my VIN does not match one of the recalled vehicles. I have paid to have the wheel studs replaced, on multiple occasions.
Wheel studs break off. The wheel studs have broken off multiple times while being torqued down at the dealership. They have broken off when I've replaced a tire, they have broken off when other repair shops have worked on them. I have already had them replaced twice, and need to have them replaced a third time.

I picked up a screw in my front passenger side tire somewhere on the road and called my insurance company to have someone come change the tire for me. After getting the flat tire changed to a spare, my power steering and advancetrac experienced complete failure upon restarting the car. I took the car to a garage and they told me I needed a completely new power steering rack that could cost $2,800 plus labor because the computer/sensor inside my current rack was faulty. They also informed me that ford fusion model years 2011 to 2014 had been recalled for this exact same reason, but 2010's have not. I experienced no issues with the power steering or advancetrac prior to this. After getting the flat repaired and put back on my vehicle, the power steering code was reset, but the garage told me my power steering could fail at any time while driving and I should drive accordingly if I wasn't going to get it repaired. I have not had the power steering fail again, but ever since the initial incident, my low tire pressure light has been on constantly despite the tire pressure being checked and deemed acceptable multiple times.
Abs module seems to cause random loss of braking -- vehicle starts braking normally, then sudden loss of hydraulic and pedal goes almost to floor before some braking resumes. It's a relatively infrequent problem ( four times in 6 months) with no apparent trigger, and has happened when pulling straight into a parking spot, stoping for a stoplight, and turning off of a freeway onto an off-ramp. Weather conditions during occurerences were dry and sunny twice, raining once, and overcast and about 50 deg f on the most recent (oct. 10, 2018) occasion. An unrelated matter has to do with their wheel lug nuts. They have a two-part constriuction, and the outer layer swells so that it cannot be serviced using the oem tire changing hardware supplied with spare tire.
Battery died due to sitting for a long period of time. Even though car was started numerous times during the week. Tires lost air twice due to sitting and told not to drive the vehicle.
There has been an investigation on this complaint but it not under my VIN number. My car is shaking causing vibration when I'm driving. The tire seems if it's going to fall off the car as I'm driving. There is no light indicating there is something wrong. It does not pick up speed I would have to put my foot all the way to the floor for it to really go anywhere. I'm on the highway everyday going to work. I hope one of these days nothing happens to me or my family because ford won't just take a look at the car when I'm calling them telling them that it's the same problem the recall explains what the problems are. Recall #11v57400
