STEERING PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-07-02
  • VIN: 3FA6P0H75FR
  • Components: STEERING
  • Summary: Got an "Steering Assist Fault" indication on my dash and I can no longer turn my steering wheel. This is a well documented recall with older models but mine was not included in the recall. I've taken it to the local dealer and been told it will require replacement of the entire assembly. Older online reports said this was a $2,200 repair. I was just quoted $2,900 by the dealer. This is outrageous. Ford should not be allowed to get away with this. They positioned the electric steering motor (with enclosed electronics) next to the exhaust manifold. The electronics can't handle the heat being so close even with the stupid heat shield between the two. The recall should be extended to all Ford vehicles that use this technology.

Negative 2015 Ford Fusion energi car reviews

  1. Sigrid Schimmel 2025-01-04

    My car lost power on the freeway while I was driving in the car pool lane with no shoulder. Although I had plenty of gas, it did not switch over. The dealer updated the modules, but unfortunately, there seems to be a recurring problem with the modules on this car. I have had to update them numerous times for everything from the windows not working properly to not switching over to gas power and time of use charging option. Unfortunately, I am no longer under warranty due to the mileage and am being charged to update modules that seem to malfunction randomly. It's frustrating to think that this car could end up costing me a small fortune just in updates. I hope the dealer can find a more permanent solution to this issue.

  2. Rogers Zboncak 2024-10-23

    Although some people seem to love the Ford Fusion, I have had a very different experience with it. In my opinion, the car is too heavy and lacks sufficient storage space. Additionally, the cup holders are poorly placed and the sound system and heating/cooling controls are not user-friendly. The electric charge on my Ford Fusion has decreased significantly, making it not worth charging at all. Furthermore, the car is expensive to repair and often requires multiple visits to the mechanic. Unfortunately, I have had a number of negative experiences with this vehicle. However, I understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to cars and I respect those who enjoy driving a Ford Fusion.

  3. Ludwig Wolf 2024-03-16

    For the most part, it's a good car. Although, there are a few things that could be improved. Unfortunately, it's not possible to recharge in the rain without damaging the power inlet door. Additionally, the garage door opener doesn't seem to work and the cruise control can be dangerous in the rain at dusk. Lastly, the navigation system only works in the state where the car was purchased. Despite these issues, I still appreciate the car and its features.

It's great to hear that it's living up to its promises and that you're not experiencing any issues with charging or gas usage. The keyless start and entry are also a fantastic feature. Just be aware that using the heater may cause quicker battery depletion. Overall, it sounds like you're really enjoying your new ride!

    Easy, comfortable, and reliable. I absolutely love it! Although, if I had to nitpick, I wish the body was a bit sturdier.

    This car is the best car I have owned. I highly recommend it. It has power, luxury, and everything you could want in a car.

    I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share my experience with this car. I purchased it used with 44k miles and now it has 119k, but I've never had to replace anything mechanical. It's unbelievably durable! The only downside is the small trunk due to the battery. Thanks for reading!

    It's a learning experience!
