WHILE PARKED AND A PASSENGER TRIED TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE, THE HANDLE EXPLODED AND SENT A PIECE OF THE HANDLE INTO THE FRONT SEATING AREA. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY DUE TO THE SIZE AND SPEED OF THE PROJECTILE. IT NEARLY MISSED THE FRONT PASSENGER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS.

TAKATA RECALL, WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN NOTIFIED THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. I WAS NEVER GIVEN A DEALER TO CONTACT. THE AIR BAG HAS ALSO CAUSED THE COVER TO PARTIALLY COME APART. IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ASAP. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON JAN. 20 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FUSION AND PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR POPPED OPEN ON IT'S OWN. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND IT DID NOT HIT ANY THING. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND COULD NOT CLOSE IT. I HAD TO USE A HEAVY BUNGEE CORD TO HOLD DOOR CLOSED SO I COULD DRIVE IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR HINGES FAILED, CAUSING DOOR TO DROP AND BREAK THE SPRING PAWL IN DOOR LATCH. SO $900 LATER THEY REPAIRED THE DOOR AND I WAS ABLE TO OPERATE CAR SAFELY AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THE HINGES WERE FAULTY AND CAUSED A SAFETY FAILURE. I SEE THAT SOME NEWER MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR FAULTY DOOR HINGES CURRENTLY. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2007 MODELS. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL OR PART OF WHAT HAD TO PAY TO FIX IT. ALSO SHOULD SEE IF THIS AFFECTING OTHER OWNERS. MILEAGE WAS 96,575.

TAKATA RECALL , FORD RECALL 16S26. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON SATURDAY, 07-23-2016 ABOUT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26 . THIS NOTICE IDENTIFIED THAT THE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. A "RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRICKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". I HAVE CALLED SAN TAN FORD, GILBERT, AZ 85295 (CUSTOMER SERVICE/[XXX], SERVICE MGR. [XXX]) AND BASICALLY WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE NEW PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THIS REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY/PART. NO ANSWERS ON A FORD RECALL THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CALLED FORD AT 1-866-436-7332 AND WAS CONNECTED WITH A FORD REP. IN THE PHILIPPINES WHO GAVE ME THE SAME RIDICULOUS ANSWER AS WAS PROVIDED BY SAN TAN FORD. NOBODY SEEMS TO GET THE BASIC IDEA THAT I AM DRIVING A LOW MILEAGE 2007 FUSION (THAT I BOUGHT NEW FROM SAN TAN FORD) THAT IS A "IMMINENT DEATH TRAP" AND WON'T AND/OR CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME IMMEDIATELY TO OBTAIN A FREE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26. THANKS, [XXX], TEL.# [XXX].

THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG PROTRUDED OUT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I CAN SEE THE AIRBAG IN THE GAP FROM WHERE THE DASH HAS STUCK OUT. WITH THE AND HUMID WEATHER IN TENNESSEE THIS LAST WEEKS, IT APPEARS THE PROTRUSION IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA INFLATORS ISSUES AND FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL AND DETERMINE HOW TO CORRECT DASH FROM PROTRUDING. I AM VERY VERY VERY CONCERNED WITH ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AND FOR MYSELF IF THE AIR BAG EXPLODES AND IF NO ONE IS INJURED I AM CONCERNED IF I CAN DRIVING THE EXPLODING AIR BAG COULD CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUES. I KNOW FORD DID CHANGE THE DASH DESIGN IN ALL NEWER VEHICLES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS DASH-AIRBAG ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO FAIL, AS I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE, I QUICKLY RELEASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PRESSED AGAIN, THE BRAKES THEN ENGAGED BUT THE PEDAL STILL TRAVELED DOWN PAST ITS NORMAL POSITION. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET (ASPHALT-NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO ROAD), I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND NOT HIT ANYTHING BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND QUICKLY REAPPLIED THE BRAKE.

MY CAR BEGIN MAKE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. (I DESCRIBE IT AS IF IT WAS A OLD RUST CAR) WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING OR NOT. I WAS TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS MY TIRE ROD ENDS. ($400 LATER 3/1/16) MY CAR IS STILL MAKING THAT SOUND WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE. MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD IS BUCKLING. MY PASSENGER DOOR MAKES A LOT OF NOISE.( LOUD VIBRATION SOUND)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 37 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND IN THE PARK POSITION, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS BULGING APPROXIMATELY AN INCH OR MORE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

MY PASSENGER SIDE DASH HAD BEGUN TO BULGE . THEY STATED IT WAS O.K. AND I DID NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING.THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED; AND NO ONE RECOMMENDED HOW TO FIX IT. THE BULGE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IT LOOKS AS IF THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER AND I CAN NOT PASS INSPECTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A BULGE NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS BOWED. IT JUST STARTED RECENTLY, IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID MY VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST, BUT I HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS SO UNSAFE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TURNED ME AWAY. BASICALLY I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CAN DEPLOY AND SHOOT SHRAPNEL AT PASSENGERS. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID FOR SAFETY REASONS I SHOULD TAKE IT IN RIGHT AWAY. FORD CALLED THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP AND THEY TURNED ME AWAY BECAUSE MY VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST. THE RECALL IS NOW, HOWEVER, SO IT COULD STILL BE ADDED. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD THROW SHRAPNEL AT MY FACE AND NECK AT ANY MOMENT. MY VIN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THIS LIST SO I CAN DRIVE SAFELY. BOB ROHRMAN FORD IN SCHAUMBURG IL TURNED ME AWAY AND WOULDN'T HELP. THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND HAD NO COMMON SENSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

MY 2007 FORD FUSION MAKES A LOUD, HIDIOUS, NOISE WHEN I TURN MY WEELS, EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST. HARD TO EXPLAIN THE NOISE BUT WHEN IT'S COLDER OUTSIDE IT DOESN'T MAKE IT AND WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE, THEN IT GETS WORSE LIKE SOMETHING IS EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING WITH THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. ANYTIME MY TIRE'S MOVE THAT NOISE IS MADE. BTW IT IS A AWD WHEEL DRIVE KEEPS GETTING WATER IN TAIL LIGHTS AND BLOWING BULBS MAYBE PART OF TAKATA RECALL AS WELL.

AFTER 75K MILES, PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) GEAR INSIDE WENT OUT ON 2007 FORD FUSION AWD AUTO. COST TO REPLACE $2213. NOTICING MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH FORD AWD PRODUCTS; CALLED FORD MOTOR CO TO ASK FOR RECALL/REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE I TAKE GREAT CARE OF THE VEHICLE AND FEEL THIS IS A FLAW, NOT A RESULT OF NEGLECT OR MISUSE. JUST PURCHASED 2016 FORD FUSION AWD, NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, SO AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF IT BEING AN ISSUE LATER SINCE IT DOESN'T APPEAR THEY ARE LOOKING AT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. TOLD THAT IF I DON'T FIX THIS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL MOST LIKELY GO OUT. WHILE AUTO IS DRIVEABLE, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DO SO - PARTICULARLY ON INTERSTATE/HIGHWAYS, SO I AM HAVING IT FIXED.

THE AUTOMATIC CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WHEN COMING TO A STOP ALL ON ITS OWN. THIS HAPPENED ON A COUNTRY ROUD IT DID THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. ONE OF THE FOUR OCCUPANTS BACK WAS SPRAINED AND DID NOT SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT STILL MAY HAVE TO.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH (SPEED LIMIT), USING CRUISE CONTROL. ALL ACCELERATION CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO MANEUVER ACROSS HIGHWAY, THROUGH ACTIVE TRAFFIC, TO SHOULDER TO TURN OFF THE CAR. WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED. GOT HOME AND HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH.

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED MY FORD FUSION IN 2007 AND I RECEIVED AWESOME COMMENTS; THIS WAS THE RATINGS FROM MY OLDER FAMILY MEMBERS, BRAGGING ABOUT MY CAR; AS BEING "TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE" SOUNDED GREAT! WITHIN MY FIRST YEAR, ON A SATURDAY MY CAR WOULD NOT START, BEFORE GOING TO WORK, IT WAS CORROSION ON MY BATTERY POST. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, I CONTACTED HIXON FORD SERVICE DEPT. IN MONROE, LA; TOLD THEM OF MY EXPERIENCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS. I WAS GIVEN A FREE BATTERY, WITHOUT ANYONE LOOKING INTO WHY THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR CORROSION ON THE BATTERY. I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED IN THAT MANNER THROUGHOUT THE TIME I HAVE MY CAR. SINCE THEN, SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS, SUCH AS THE RUBBER AROUND THE DASH VENT, WHERE THE DEFROST AIR COMES OUT, LIFTED UP OUT OF PLACE. ONE DAY THE 6-CD CHANGER WOULD NOT RELEASE MY CDS'; BUT MONTHS LATER AFTER PRESSING THE BUTTON EVERYDAY, I PRESSED THE REJECT AND THEY ALL CAME OUT. ANOTHER EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN THE TWO FRONT DOOR LATCHES JUST POPPED OUT; AT A LATER TIME, THE TWO BACK LATCHES POPPED OUT. SINCE I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO GET THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH REPAIRED, I WOULD STILL LOCK MY CAR DOOR, BUT THEY DO NOT LOCK. ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN, BECAUSE OF THE BUMPY ROAD AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT HYDROPLANED; I COULDN'T STOP (SCAAARRRYY!). AFTER EACH INCIDENT, I WOULD CALL HIXON FORD AND ASK FOR RECALL STATUS, CONCERNING MY INCIDENTS. THEY WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME, THEY HAVE NOT HEARD

WHILE DRIVING, CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JERK FOR NO REASON. THEN, WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN THE TURN LANE, CAR STALLED AND DIED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (134,000+ MILES, DETAILED SERVICE RECORDS AND MECHANICS DIAGNOSTIC PRIOR TO PURCHASE). APPARENTLY, THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO COMPLAINED OF THE CAR STALLING AND HAD REPLACED STARTER AND TCM AND HAD THROTTLE CLEANED BUT (UNBEKNOWNST TO ME), APPARENTLY NONE OF THESE THINGS FIXED THE ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH ONE FORD DEALER WHO SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THE OWNER COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED VARIOUS FORUMS AND FOUND THAT OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT FORD VEHICLES 2009-2011 WITH LESS THAN 150,000 MILES EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WERE LISTED UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT 2007. IT SEEMS IF THE SAME ISSUE IS CREATING A DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD FOR EARLIER MODEL CARS, THOSE VEHICLES SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL.

I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME, OCTOBER 21, 2015, THE DEALER COULDN'T PINPOINT THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED REPLACING THE REAR BRAKES WHICH WERE WORN (NOTE: THEY HAD PASSED INSPECTION NO LONG BEFORE THIS TIME). I AGREED TO THIS REPAIR. THEN ON APRIL 2, THE PEDAL ONCE AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I BRAKED. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT WITHOUT HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS VALVE MODULE, FLUSHED AND REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID. LUCKILY DURING BOTH INCIDENTS I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER I HIT A POT HOLE WITH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. AS SOON AS I BRAKED THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE SECOND TIME I HIT A ROUGH PATCH WHERE THE STREET HAD BEEN DUG UP AND TEMPORARILY PATCHED. I SUSPECT THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE BRAKES. EVEN WITH THE LATEST REPAIR I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR'S BRAKES. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD A CAR BEEN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME OR HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE ANOTHER INCIDENT OF THIS SUDDEN, UNEXPLAINED BRAKE LOSS.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE CAR IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. ALSO, THE JUNCTION BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT WORK AND STAYED ON AS A SOLID LIGHT VERSUS TURN SIGNAL CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DIE AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CREATED AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF AND THE KEYS WERE OUT, THE LIGHT STAYED ON. BOTH OF THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON BOTH ISSUES!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSED THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO BE EXPOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND TRIED TO GET OUT BUT THE DOOR LATCH FAILED. THE PIECE THAT BROKE IS BEHIND THE DOOR TRIM. THE DOOR CAN'T BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH SEVERAL MODEL YEARS. I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 100,000 MILES AND THIS CAR IS FALLING APART. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING THESE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE FUSION. I PAID $23,000 FOR THIS CAR AND I HAVE BABIED IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. NOBODY SHOULD EVER BUY A FORD AND I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AND I'M CONSIDERING PARKING MY CAR OUTSIDE OF FORD DEALERSHIPS WITH A SIGN THAT READS "ASK ME ABOUT MY FORD PURCHASE BEFORE YOU BUY A FORD" MAYBE THAT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION.

THE INTERIOR PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE BOTH ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE, STOPS WORKING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT CLEAR THAT THE MOVING PARTS INSIDE THE DOOR HANDLE ARE MADE OF REALLY CHEAP PLASTIC AND BREAKS ON THE INSIDE. THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, HAVE TO PUT WINDOW DOWN AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD WHERE SOMEONE COULD GET HURT IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY VERY COMMON WITH FORD FUSION BASE ON INFORMATION PROVIDED MY THE MECHANIC AND A GOOGLE SEARCH. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGERS SIDE DASHBOARD WAS PREMATURELY DETERIORATING AND WARPING NEAR WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS LOCATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO FAIL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO RECEIVE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS DEFORMED. IT HAS SEPARATED AND HAS STARTED TO "PEEL" UPWARD. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ONE. NOT SURE IF RELATED.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH ON WET ROADS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I WAS BRAKING NORMALLY AND MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS OVER A MAN HOLE COVER. THE ABS ENGAGED AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER RETURNED TO A NORMAL FEEL. I'VE HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AND BRAKES BLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THE ABS VALVE MODULE WAS STUCK OPEN. I WAS QUOTED OVER $1,000 BY FORD DEALERSHIP. CAN'T AFFORD IT SO I'VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH A SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL. I JUST PRAY I DON'T NEED TO STOP SUDDENLY.

DASHBOARD AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS DEFORMED. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STOPPED WORKING AS WELL.

THE CAR HAS ALWAYS MADE STRANGE NOISES WHEN GOING OVER BUMBS. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE AS I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE AND APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SUBFRAME AND TO TAKE IT TO FORD. IT TURNS OUT THAT WELDS IN THE SUBFRAME ARE CRACKED AND CAUSING THE LOUD POPPING NOISES AND VEHICLE STABILITY ISSUES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT FORD WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL SOMEONE DIES I GUESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SHAKING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT A REDUCED SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION AND POWER CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THE DASHBOARD IS SEPARATING FROM THE AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE MY AIRBAG TO GO OFF AND HURT MY PASSENGER. PHOTO IS UPLOADED FOR YOU TO VIEW.

I WAS GOING ON A TRIP TO VISIT FAMILY AND MISSOURI FROM WI AND MY 2007 FORD FUSION LOST ALL POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE CODES READ AND STATED THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. ANY TIME I USE THE CURSE CONTROL ON LONG TRIPS THIS HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START, IT FAILED TO RESTART AFTER BEING SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM, THE SPARK PLUGS, AND THE COILS HAD ALL MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR UNLATCHED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE DOOR WAS CLOSED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO HOLD THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FIRMLY WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK WHEN ACCESSING IT WITH A KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH FRACTURED AND WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPLACED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,200. UPDATED 04/20/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED A COMPONENT WITHIN A DOOR LATCH CAN BREAK MAKING THE DOORS DIFFICULT TO LATCH WHEN CLOSED. THE DEALER WAS WILLING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES FREE OF CHARGE. UPDATED 06/14/16.*JB

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES. OCCURRED AFTER STARTING UP AFTER BEING PARKED FACING THE WIND ON A VERY WINDY DAY. TOOK TO DEALER, NEEDS NEW RCM MODULE. WAS TOLD NO AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY UNTIL REPLACED. APPARENTLY IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING THAT CONCERNS SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 MY CAR MADE A POPPING NOISE AND LOST POWER, WAS IN LIMP MODE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD CAR DIAGNOSED AND FOUND TO HAVE BUSTED IGNITION COILS AND BAD ECM, REPLACED THOSE, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER DRIVING TO WORK AGAIN AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, IT COMES AND GOES BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER UNTIL SHUT OFF, AM TOLD IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 73,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ANY MORE DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAY WITH NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

OUR FORD FUSION SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING ACTING IN AN UNPREDICTABLE FASHION, WHILE TRAVELING ON RTE 95 NORTH IN THE PASSING LANE. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE BEHIND US, AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES AS WE WORKED TO GET OVER TO THE SAFETY OF THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AN ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WAS IN AN "ON" STATE AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. AFTER CHECKING ALL GAUGES AND FLUIDS, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND FOUND IT TO BE IN A NORMAL STATE AGAIN, WITH NO WRENCH LIGHT VISIBLE. WE TURNED AROUND AND HEADED HOME. THIS CONDITION OCCURRED ONE MORE TIME ABOUT 45 MILES LATER, JUST A FEW MILES FROM OUR HOME, SAME RESULT. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE NHTSA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN ASKED TO FIX OVER 1 MILLION CARS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD, AS RECOMMENDED IN A REPORT I DISCOVERED ONLINE. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT, WHILE THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THE PROBLEMS IT CAUSES, OUR 2007 FUSION WAS NOT COVERED AND WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE JUST OCCURRED TODAY, THEREFORE I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION, OTHER THAN WHAT IS AVAILABLE ON MANY WEBSITES AND BLOGS, DOCUMENTED BY OTHER FORD OWNERS, COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT OF THE MILLION PLUS CARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, SOME WILL BE CORRECTED, WHILE FOR SOME REASON THAT FORD COULD NOT EXPLAIN, SOME ARE NOT?

IDLER PULLEY BOLTS FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ALTERNATOR. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, VEHICLE WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PART HAS FAILED IN 6 MONTHS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG QUIT WORKING. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. DO NOT KNOW IF AUTOMOBILE WAS MOVING OR STILL. HAD TO HAVE REPLACE THE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD SEAT ZERO WEIGHT SENSORS, RAIL ASSEMBLY AND REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG MODULE. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR A PART OF THE CAR THAT SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 54000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE THROTTLE BODY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE IDLER ARM BOLT HAS BROKEN 4 OR 5 TIMES NOW. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BUT THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. LAST TIME WAS IN A PARKING LOT
