TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY RECALL TO BE FIXED SINCE JULY OF 2018. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THEY WOULD PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED BOB DAVIDSON FORD AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST TO FIX THE AIRBAGS AND TO PROVIDE A RENTAL. IT'S MARCH AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. I CONTACTED ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP, BUD NORRIS FORD, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY AREN'T GIVING OUT RENTALS ANYMORE AND FORD ONLY TOLD ME THEY WERE GIVING OUT RENTALS TO GET ME OFF OF THE PHONE AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. I CONTACTED A THIRD FORD DEALERSHIP, AL PACKER, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT EITHER. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND A CAR WITH AIRBAGS THAT COULD KILL ME WITH NO ONE ABLE TO FIX THEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GET ON A LIST BECAUSE I'VE TALKED TO BREE DEALERSHIPS AND NOT ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR CALL ME BACK AND TELL ME WHEN THEY COULD FIX IT.

ON, NOVEMBER 10, 2016, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A SHOPPING PLAZA. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE BREAK AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND MY CAR STOPPED. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG, SO I PUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE SIFTER CABLE. I HAD 84,561 MILES ON THE CAR AT THE TIME. THIS PAST WEEKEND, MARCH, 16, 2019, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT IN THE FELLS POINT AREA OF BALTIMORE, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND THE CAR STOPPED. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTER CABLE AGAIN. I'VE ONLY PUT ABOUT 23,000 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPLACED. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM FORD TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LEVITTOWN FORD (3195 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (516) 336-4718) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS 3,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR COSTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

SOME TIMES MY POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK & GOES TO MANUAL, WENT TO DEALER IN 2017 AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, NOW I WAS TOLD MILES WENT 2 150,000 SOME MILES & MINE ARE OVER THAT, THIS COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT, HAPPENED AFTER I STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN STREET

2011 FORD FUSION WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING NOW AND ADVANCETRAK WARNINGS CAME ON. TOOK TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3000; I PICK UP MY CAR AND IT'S BEEN WORKING BUT I AM AFRAID AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S ISSUES THAT THIS IS BAD.

THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2011 FORD FUSION HAS BEEN GOING OUT PERIODICALLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A WIDE TURN BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I CAUSED TRAFFIC JAMS OR ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED SINCE THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T EXPECT ME TO TAKE SO LONG TO TURN. A LOT OF TIMES THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR TO MY DESTINATION LOCALLY USING THE STREETS BUT I FEAR THAT IT WILL GO OUT ONE DAY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY IT'S USUALLY ONLY ME IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS BUT I'M AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT ALSO HAPPEN WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR. IT'S ALSO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE ONLY I CAN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN MY WIFE DROVE IT, SHE PANICKED AND WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS TIME, SHE DID HAVE ONE OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAD TO GO MEET HER AND DRIVE IT HOME. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE, .MODEL, AND YEAR HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES YET ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES ARE PART OF A RECALL. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING EXACTLY EVERYTHING THAT THE RECALL SAYS IT WOULD YET WHEN I RUN MY VIN #[XXX] THROUGH FORDS DATABASE, MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS POWER STEERING RECALL. WHICH I FIND VERY DISTURBING. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE AND MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY JUST ADVISE ME THAT MY VIN # IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. WHICH IS VERY ODD.

THE BRAKE PEDAL OCCASIONALLY HAS LITTLE RESISTANCE AND GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS CAR HAS BECOME SCARY TO DRIVE. I ASSUME THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE READ ABOUT CONCERNING ABS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE WHEEL

AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS I AM NOT THE ONLY 2011 OWNER WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I WAS GETTING READY TO GO INTO A STORE. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN. I AM DISABLED BUT AM ABLE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE. I WAS READY GETTING READY TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR HANDLE I FELT THE DOOR GO LOOSE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE KNEES THAT WERE FRACTURED AND I MUST WEAR KNEE BRACES ON THEM. I HAD TO CRAWL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET OUT. I REALLY HURT MY ARMS BY CRAWLING ACROSS THE VEHICLE. IT FLOODS A LOT IN HOUSTON WHERE I LIVE. THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I MUST BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE QUICKLY DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION SUCH AS FLOODING. FORD HAS RECALLED THE 2010 AND 2012 FUSIONS FOR THE DOOR HANDLES. WHY HAVEN'T THE 2011 FUSIONS BEEN RECALLED? THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW.

WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY NOTICE.

IN MARCH 2018 I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AND A WARNING CAME ACROSS MY DASH BOARD THAT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND THEN MY STEERING WOULD NOT MOVE. I GOT IT FIXED THEN. NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER IT'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME IT LOCKED UP WHERE AS LAST TIME ALL I HAD TO DO IS RESTART THE CAR AND IT RELEASED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON MY PASSENGER AIR BAG ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND FORD HAS NOT RELEASED A REPLACEMENT PART YET AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF DUE TO METAL FRAGMENTS THAT COULD BE RELEASED IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I WAS IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT FEBRUARY 23, 2015 WHERE I SLID OFF AN ICY BACK ROAD CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE WHICH WAS REPAIRED AT MILNES FORD IN LAPEER, MI. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT THEY NEVER DID. I NOW HAVE A BULGED DISK IN MY NECK AND ANOTHER IN MY LUMBAR SPINE. A LATER COMPUTER SCAN FOR A SEPARATE ISSUE INDICATED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. WHEN THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS WERE DONE, THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CHECK AND NEVER ADDRESSED THE FAILURE TO DEPLOY. THE ONLY TOWING THAT WAS DONE WAS TO GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF A DITCH.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 FORD FUSION GOING STRAIGHT ON CLEAR ROAD THE BRAKES FAIL AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND OR POTHOLE WHILE PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. ITS LIKE A " PERFECT STORM" IN ORDER TO DUPLICATE IT. YOU HAVE TO BE DRIVING AND ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME PRESS THE BRAKE AND HIT THE BUMP/POTHOLE. THE BRAKES FAIL. THE PEDDLE GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TO STOP THE CAR I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES WHILE CAR STILL IN MOTION FOR IT TO STOP. EVENTUALLY THE BRAKES COME BACK AFTER FRANTICALLY PUMPING THE BRAKES. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME NOW. I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE I'M SCARED THAT I MAY DIE IN A CRASH WITH ME AND MY FAMILY.

2011 FORD FUSION RECALL. I HAD THE RECALL COMPETED ON MY FORD FUSION FOR THE STEERING GEAR. WITHIN 6 MONTHS, MY STEERING GEAR LOCKED UP AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. FORD REFUSES TO DO ANOTHER RECALL ON THIS PART. THEY SAID IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY TO HAVE THIS DONE NOW SINCE I HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED ONE RECALL. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR 2 STEERING GEAR RECALLS. HOW IS IT MY RESPONSIBILITY WHEN APPARENTLY THEY DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE STEERING (IN STATIONARY POSITION) LOCKS UP AND POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RE START AND ITS FINE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME HARD TO MANUEVER AND MAKES A NOISE ESPECIALLY ON LEFT TURNS. PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND MY FORD DEALER REFUSES TO COVER THE FIX BECAUSE IT HAS OVER 100,000 MILES.

THE STEERING COMPONENTS FOR MY FRONT END FREQUENTLY BREAK AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ROUGH EVER SINCE I GOT MY CAR IN 2015

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE.

BRAKE PEDAL FEEL IS SPONGY AND TRAVELS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BRAKES ENGAGE.

I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT ANY RECALLS. MY MOTHER CONTACTED ME THROUGH EMAIL TO SEE IF I KNEW ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. 2 RECALLS I ONLY LEARNED ABOUT TODAY BY CHECKING MY CREDIT REPORT BECAUSE THE AGENCY THAT HOLDS THE TITLE REPORTED MY ACCOUNT FOR NON-PAYMENT. I RECIEVED A CARFAX REPORT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AUGUST 2017 FROM DRIVETIME. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. NOW, I AM SEEING 4 RECALLS, 2 OF WHICH (2014 & 2016) HAVE APPEARED ONLY NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED. I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY IDIOT IN AMERICA THAT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HIGH-MILEAGE, OVER-PRICED VEHICLE IN THE 1ST PLACE. I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE FOR A RENTAL CAR AGENCY. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A SAFE VEHICLE. BUT MY FEELING NOW, IS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. THE VEHICLE MAY GET REPOSSESSED AND I AM FEELING CHEATED. I SENT THE CAR TO THE 1ST AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY WANTED $1470 FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THEY TOLD ME THE CAR COULD GET REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE AT AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE 2ND SHOP. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THAT DEALERSHIP SINCE FEBRUARY 1ST. MY ESTIMATE IS ABOUT $260. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M EXPECTING TO HAPPEN, BUT I ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE FUEL OVERFLOW HOSE LEAKING FUEL EVEN WHEN THE TANK WAS NOT FULL. IT WOULD DO THIS REGULARLY AND THAT IS 1 OF THE 2 NEW RECALLS THAT APPEARED. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I JUST WANT SOME RELIABLE ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS BEFORE I SHELL
