2012 Ford Fusion complaints

"TAKATA RECALL"

OCTOBER 14, 2015 REPLACED BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS (BROKE NEAR THE TOP). I KNOW THAT ONE OR BOTH OF THEM BROKE WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO START DOWN THE STREET. THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME THAT I HEARD A LOUD NOISE LIKE A SPRING BREAKING AND STARTED TO HEAR A RUBBING SOUND A SHORT TIME LATER, WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS THE BROKEN SPRING RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE.

TAKATA RECALL------ I AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH MY DEALERSHIP. I GOT MY LETTER IN MARCH 2017. I HAVE BEEN CALLING TWICE A MONTH (HARDY FORD & CHEVROLET) ABOUT GETTING IT REPLACED AND EVERY PERSON I TALK TO SAYS THAT THE PARTS (FOR MY FORD FUSION 2012) HAVE STILL NOT COME IN AND NO ONE AT ANY DEALERSHIP IS GETTING THEM AT THIS TIME. THEN WHY SEND OUT THE LETTERS AND TELL US TO HAVE IT REPAIRED... CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS SITUATION? ARE THEY TELLING THE TRUTH OR STALLING IN DOING THE REPAIR? WHERE DO I GET ANSWERS OR HELP FROM THIS POINT? A FORD OWNER DALLAS, GEORGIA

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. FORD WILL NOT REPLACE THE DANGEROUS PASSENGER AIRBAG. PROPER AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 AND 2018 FORDS BUT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO REPLACE OURS. I CAN'T TAKE A TRIP ANYWHERE AND PLACE MY WIFE'S LIFE IN DANGER. INEXCUSABLE, CRIMINAL DELAY BY FORD.

TAKATA RECALL, WE CONTACTED OUR FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS AND THEY STATED THEY ARE WAING FOR PARTS. THEY HAVE TOLD US THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WE FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS RECALL AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AS SUCH.

I RECEIVED THE AIRBAG RECALL LETTER, AND CALLED A FORD DEALER TO CHANGE IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT AIRBAG ANYMORE. THEY SUGGESTED ME TO CALL THEM AGAIN IN A FEW WEEKS. I DID IT, AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHERE CAN CHANGE IT?

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL DATING BACK TO JANUARY 10, 2017 AND STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS. SEE ATTACHED.

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING YET

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE THAT AIRBAG WAS UNDER RECALL. DROPPED BY FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A DATE AS TO WHEN THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WILL BE BACK IN STOCK. MY SON IS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DAILY TO COLLEGE AND I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE HE'S DRIVING.

TAKATA RECAL____ OK CALLED FORD, RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR 10 MONTHS AND NO FORD HAS THE PARTS FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL , THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL SHOULD BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY VIA AUTO DEALER SAM GALLOWAY FORD, FORT MYERS, FL DUE TO THE FACT VEHICLE IS EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT, HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. YET, SINCE JANUARY 2017 THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. AND STILL REFUSE TO REPAIR AND/ OR REPLACE AFFECTED AIRBAG. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO VEHICLE OWNER. TK HOLDINGS INC. CIVIL LAWSUIT SHOULD NOT AFFECT VEHICLE OWNER BECAUSE AIRBAG DEFECT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND/ OR DEATH.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES BREAK QUICKLY. THE DRIVES SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BUSTED 2 TIMES IN A YEAR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BUSTED AS WELL. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FLAW ON FORD'S PART. I HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE DOOR HANDLE ONCE AND NOW GOTTA FIX THEM BOTH.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I AM PART OF THE RECALL EFFECTING TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE CONTACT MULINAX APOPKA A FEW TIMES AND THEY DO NOT HAVE STOCK OF THIS PART

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL.....THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE JANUARY 2017 AND NO PARTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM 10 MONTHS LATER. I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND IN AUGUST AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN EXITING A RAMP TO TURN ONTO A MAJOR ROAD.

I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S01 / NHTSA RECALL 17V-024 IN MARCH 2017. IT IS NOW 10/23/17 AND I STILL CANNOT FIND A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT HAS THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I JUST RECEIVED NOTICE THAT TAKATA IS FILING BANKRUPTCY AND THAT I SHOULD FIND A DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT. UNFORTUNATELY ALL FORD DEALERS IN THE RALEIGH AREA SAY THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE, YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I AM VOLUNTARILY TURNING THE CAR IN SINCE THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE HAD ALMOST A YEAR TO FIX IT AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR. THE BAG HAS NOT DEPLOYED. CAN NOT PUT IN A DATE AS NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET.

CAR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY TURNED TEMPERATURE IN CAR FROM NORMAL TO EXTREMELY HOT. HAS CAUSED WINDSHIELD TO IMMEDIATELY FOG AND UNABLE TO SEE, INCLUDING ON HIGHWAY AT FASTER SPEEDS. APPEARS TO BE ISSUE AFFECTING MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR YEARS OF FORD FUSION MODELS, WITH NO IMMEDIATE FIX. I MYSELF WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY WHEN ONE OF THE FIRST INCIDENTS OCCURRED. I HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR COMING OUT OF MY VENTS WENT FROM AIR CONDITIONED COOL AIR TO EXTREMELY HOT. WOULDN'T THIS POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS?

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A MAIN STREET AND I HEARD A BEEP AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT LITE UP ON MY DASH AS WELL WITH SERVICE ADVANCETRAC CAME ON SO I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT AND MY WHEEL ALL THE SUDDEN GOT STIFF. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINS AND TURNED IT BACK ON HOPING IT WOULD GO AWAY WELL IT DIDN'T, SO I GOT IT HOME FINALLY 6 HOURS LATER STILL WITH ALL THEM LIGHTS ON AND THE WHEEL BEING STIFF LET IT SIT OVER NIGHT AND EVERYTHING NEXT DAY I GO BACK TO THE CAR HOPING ONCE AGAIN IT WOULD GO AWAY AND IT DIDN'T.

WENT TO OPEN MY DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR & OUT OF NOWHERE THE INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. IT WAS FINE NOT 20 MINS BEFORE. TO GET OUT OF MY CAR I HAVE TO PUT MY WINDOW DOWN & REACH OUTSIDE & OPEN IT WITH THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. IT'S A REAL PAIN IN THE A$$ ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RAINS. I'VE READ THAT MANY FUSIONS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND FORD DID DO A RECALL BUT MY YEAR MODEL (2012) HASN'T BEEN INCLUDED YET. I'M HOPING THEY EXPAND IT SOON BECAUSE CLEARLY FROM MY EXPERIENCE & THAT OF MANY OTHERS THE 2012 IS CLEARLY AFFECTED.

I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY RECALL OR WARRANTY, CAR HAS 56,000 MILES.
