TENSIONER PULLEY DISCONNECTS FROM ENGINE CAUSING THE DRIVE BELT TO COME OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE REFERENCED VEHICLE FOR (4) TIMES SINCE 2008 AND AT EACH TIME SAID VEHICLE WAS IN VARIOUS STAGES AS FOLLOWS: 1ST TIME WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING A LEFT TURN; 2ND TIME WAS IN MOTION IN A PARKING LOT RIGHT WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPACE; 3RD TIME WAS PREVENTED WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A SQUEALING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS USED; AND THE 4TH TIME IT CAME OFF WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME. EACH TIME IT WAS REPLACED IT WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND EACH TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED PROPERLY. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A SQUEALING SOUND STARTING TO COME FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS BEEN STARTED BUT DIMINISHES AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. NOW I FEEL IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE UNTHINKABLE WILL HAPPEN.....
DRIVING WEST ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE COMING FROM THE JERSEY SHORE DOING 74 MILES PER HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN SUDDENLY. I FEEL A SHIFT IN MY CAR AND MY SPEEDOMETER STARTS DROPPING, MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT'S NOT MAKING A DIFFERENCE. 3 KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT ARE ASLEEP THANKFULLY. AS THAT HAPPENS A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I NOW HAVE ZERO ACCELERATION POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND NEED TO GET OVER 3 LANES TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND DRIFT OVER WITH A POUNDING HEART THAT I AM MY KIDS ARE ABOUT TO DIE. LUCKILY I WAS FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. NOW I'M IN A SITUATION WHERE I AM ON THE SHOULDER OF A HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AND NOT A CLUE IN THE WORLD OF WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I LOOK AT MY MANUAL TO SEE WHAT THE WRENCH LIGHT INDICATOR MEANS AND IT SAYS THROTTLE CONTROL / TRANSMISSION CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.IT'S A SUNDAY CAN'T DO THAT. I AM ABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO PICK US UP OFF OF THE TURNPIKE WITH 3 LITTLE KIDS AND GET IT TOWED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE, THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT ME AND MY KIDS DID NOT DIE. I'M ASSUMING THAT IS THE ONLY WAY SOMETHING LINE THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. PLEASE PUT YOURSELF IN MY SITUATION WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE BACK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND TELL ME HOW YOU WOULD FEEL? THIS REALLY NEEDS A SERIOUS AND QUICK LOOKING INTO.

#4 COIL SHORTED OUT ELM.
WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, MY CAR DOOR WHICH HAD BEEN CLOSED AND LOCKED, FLEW OPEN AND WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED AGAIN.
TAKATA RECALL PLEASE SEE UPLOADED ATTACHMENTS
TAKATA RECALL HAVE BEEN WAITING 2 YEARS NOW FOR THE PART AND NOW I HAVE AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON, ON MY DASH.
IDLER PULLEY BOLT HAS BROKEN TWICE IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE. EACH OF THE BOLTS SNAPPED AND GOT STUCK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. WHEN THE BOLT BREAKS IT RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE STARTS TO OVERHEAT, AND OTHER ISSUES OCCUR DUE TO THE SERPENTINE BELT COMING OFF TRACK. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION.
TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA DEALER SAYS LOW TRADEIN DUE TO OUTSTANDING AIRBAG RECALLS. TRYING TO SELL BUT BUYERS APPREHENSIVE. WE HAVE NOTICES DATED JULY2016, DEC 2017, JUNE 2018. DO SOME THING.
TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND STEERING BOLT RECALL MY CAR HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE 2016, AND I WAS JUST OFFERED A RENTAL VEHICLE FROM A FORD ON JUNE 27TH, 2018 - 'UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - RENEWING EVERY 30 DAYS' AT ONLY $30 PER DAY, WHICH IS HALF THE COST OF A DAILY RENTAL. FORD STATED MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND YET I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT PARTS? I CANNOT EVEN TRADE MY UNSAFE CAR IN DUE TO THE OUTSTANDING REPAIR SEVERELY DECREASING THE VALUE OF MY CAR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ALREADY SPENT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON OTHER REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A TOTAL NIGHTMARE! JUST RECENTLY I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT AXLE DUE TO THE CV BOOT RUPTURING & MAJOR RUSTING. MY CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL STEERING COLUMN ISSUES, INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON THREE OCCASIONS, RESULTING IN REPAIRS. RECENTLY I READ THAT CARS MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO HAVE A BOLT IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CAN COME LOOSE - RESULTING THE DETACHING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A LETTER PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE - HOWEVER MY VEHICLE FALLS IN THE CATEGORY DESCRIBED ON THEIR WEBSITE.
DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AS I APPROACHED A PARKING SPOT AT A VERY SLOW SPEED; THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR; THE CAR DID NOT STOP. BACKED UP OFF OF A GRASSY AREA AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. THE BRAKES HAVE WORKED FINE SINCE THAN. CHECKING VARIOUS VEHICLE COMPLAINT SITES INDICATE THE TROUBLE IS VERY LIKELY THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE (AND SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOOR) DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, POSING A SAFETY CONCERN. IF CAR WAS TO CATCH ON FIRE, PASSENGER WOULD HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. ALSO SOME DOORS LOCK AND SOME DO NOT. NOT A SAFTEY CONCERN, BUT CERTAINLY AN ISSUE. MY SON HAD A 2006 FORD FUSION THAT DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS I NOTED ABOVE, THEREFORE, IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE FORD FUSIONS.
TAKATA AIRBAG - I HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE NOTICES REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL VIA MAIL. THE NOTICE STATES TO BRING CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER SO PARTS CAN BE REPLACED. SO, I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART THAT IS NEEDED IS NOT AVAILABLE! MY QUESTION IS WHY SEND OUT NOTICES TO GET VEHICLES SERVICED WHEN PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE? THIS IS A NATIONAL SAFETY HAZARD AND PARTS NEED TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. SO, NOW I HAVE TO WAIT EVEN LONGER FOR PARTS THAT MAY NEVER ARRIVE. THIS WHOLE SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED POORLY AND SEEMS YOU HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND TAKING A VERY LONG TIME TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
"TANAKA RECALL" 2 YEARS AND NO SOLUTION, MAYBE I SHOULD PARK THE CAR AND HAVE THEM SUPPLY ME WITH A RENTAL.

TAKATA INFLATORS. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, IT IS ABOUT FORD'S FAILURE TO ADDRESS THE RECALL ISSUES. WE HAVE RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALL NOTICES. 7/16--NOTIFICATION OF AIRBAG DANGER 12/17 NOTIFICATION THAT PARTS WOULD BE AV AILABLE IN SPRING OF 2018 AND WARNING NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY AND WERE TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, SO WE'RE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS BASICALLY A SINGLE PERSON CONVEYANCE AND CONSEQUENTLY ESSENTIALLY UNSALABLE AND NOT REPAIRABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A SAFETY NOTICE AND APPARENTLY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO REDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
