Recall 16s26 / nhtsa 16v-384 for my 2007 ford fusion was issued in july 2016. The recall is regarding the passanger seat airbhag of this vehicle.after over 18 months i have not been contacted to have the airbag replaced.this needs to be repaired asap due the fact that not having anyone use the passanger seat is unacceptable.december 2017 i was notified the parts are delayed and to anticipate being notified in the spring of 2018.this delay is unreasonable.

Takata recalli received a letter dated july 2016 from my local ford dealership (bloomington ford in bloomington, in), saying that my car fell under the takata airbag recall and that they would contact me when the parts were available to fix it. It has now been nearly 18 months since that letter was sent, and i contacted the dealership earlier this month to see if my car could be repaired. They told me they still did not have the required materials to complete the recall repairs.i am extremely concerned about the length of time this is taking. I am very aware that my passenger air bag could cause fatal injury, and as i'm looking to sell the car in the next year or two i'm concerned that the problem wouldn't be corrected before that happens and that the next owners may unknowingly be driving a car with a potentially fatal defect. I know i'm not the only one who is dealing with massive delays on this recall repair process, but i was hoping that the nhtsa could come up with some remedy that could get my car fixed faster. I'd also like you to confirm that the local dealerships are as of now unable to fix my car in any way, because it feels like something could be done even if takata has decided to file bankruptcy.thank you.

Takata recallthe air bags on my car were recalled in january 0f this year. There is still no resolution to the recall.

Have contacted ford of murfreesboro on several occassions. They state that they do not have replacement airbags, and that it is against the law to disable the current airbag. This recall was dated june 2017. It is now november 2017. You would think that ford company would be able to engineer their own replacement airbag in 17 months.

Takata recall, i received a notice of recall dated july 2016,for passenger side airbag replacement. I was living in zone a, but have since relocated. I am concerned that the cover area of the airbag is now separated, and i do not allow anyone to be seated in the passengers seat. I would like to add that i have taken excellent care of my since the date of purchase. In the worst case scenario should someone be seated in the passenger area and the bag deploys in a non accident time of travel i will be left with no other option but to seek civil action for all damages, both injury and interior damages. I am only writing so that there a record as to be noted. Thank you

Takata recall but there is a continues memory code (b2290- front passenger side)i called a ford dealer about it over a month ago, still waiting for an answerand is a safety issue. The car does not have a passenger airbag.

Takata recall.i have contacted several ford dealerships about completing the recall replacement of my airbags but have been told repeatedly that they do not yet have the parts necessary to do it. It has been well over a year and it is unacceptable that the recall cannot be completed when there is a clear safety hazard associated with the takata airbags.
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

Have been notified by ford for the past 2 years through safety recall notice 16s26 of takata air bag recall with no remedy as of yet through a dealership . Was told by dealership that a fix would come in 2017 now they are saying possibly by spring 2018. Am seeking a loaner vehicle until, recall is complete as they have warned for the past 2 years now " do not allow anyone to sit in passenger side first row seat." not possible when car pooling.
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

Upon remedying the recall, to adjust the affected "passenger side" airbag, whereas the finalized maintenance resulted in the fusion's diagnostic fault code, of which has delayed the absolution of passing an inspectionthis sensor hasn't "ever" illuminated 'til after the repair was completedit remains "on" whether a passenger is in the seat or not
Kayser ford in madison, wi was supposed to have replaced driver side air bag. I have concerns about their properly replacing, per the safety recall, as tim douglas boasted that "they have over 47 airbags" in back and this is not how the recall should work. The part needs to be ordered per the vin and received and put in, not some random spare extra parts in back, put in the vehicle, without knowing how long they have been sitting there. Further, this ford replaced the passenger airbag, and pulled on the bottom edge of the airbag compartment, causing a badly tented edge, that could obstruct the passenger air bag deployment or tear the bag if it is deployed, and affect the angle and trajectory of the deployment.this ford denied any responsibility. When we had it towed for other repairs including the driver side airbag, they not only did not perform the necessary repairs, but they caused harm to our car: damage to the front bumper, failed to refill fluids correctly, including transmission fluid and power steering fluid and did not replace the front brake calipers.the new serpentine belt is loose and makes a noise. They also drove our car over 30 miles, without our authorization and then lied on the invoice claiming that our car came in and left at the same mileage. Further, they left our car on a tow truck with the j hook hanging from the suspension and under tension, all night.
Takata recall - dealer keeps stating that we have to call back for parts instead of taking names and calling us when they have the part.they never know when they are coming in or how many they have on order.this is the 2nd year we have been trying to get this repaired.we wonder how many parts have been made available since this recall for this model.how can we possibly know when to call.

Takatainflators.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 danger12/17 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.

The ford dealership has been saying that they do not have the part since 2016
Takata recalli received notice of this recall over a year ago initially and am yet to have received any further notice of remedy or potential remedy. The recommendation from ford is to not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat which has resulted in reduced use of my own property.
The airbag is sticking out of the dashboard and ford doesn't want to do anything about it. I believe that being this is safety concern and should be covered by ford. I have contacted them because we have a concern that the airbag will fail or just blow out of the dashboard without any notice.
Takata recall have been unable to get airbag replaced under recall through numerous tries.
"takata recall"notice was given in july 2016 that the airbags were defective and would be replaced.they are a disaster waiting to happen. We just want replacement before this happens.

Takata recallit has been over a year since i was notified of the recall. They should be able to replace defective item or offer an alternative solution. This car has been a single passenger vehicle since the recall notice was received. This has made it difficult commuting to work and taking the kids to the extra curricular activities.

Takata recall - rcvd recall july 2016 and still haven't had car repaired.

I received notification over one year ago (july 2016 letter from ford) that my 2007 ford fusion airbag had been recalled by the manufacturer. I patiently waited to receive a letter indicating that i could take my vehicle in for a replacement airbag. Upon contacting the local dealership numerous times, the dealership also repeatedly informed me that they could not make the repair/replacement until a letter was received by ford approving the replacement. Yesterday i received notification that the manufacturer, tk holdlings inc, is in the process of filing chapter 11. Upon researching with the information provided on the chapter 11 notice and ford letter, the only updated information i can find (other than my car is one on the recall list for an airbag) is from www.saftercar.gov in which the site states, "recall status: recall incomplete, remedy not yet available." from what i understand the airbag when deployed can cause injury and possible death. This matter is over a year old and i use my vehicle for business purposes. Every day that i get into my vehicle, i feel like i am driving a loaded gun and am very concerned for my safety and specifically any passenger that rides with me (it is the passenger airbag that is being recalled). This process is not being handled in a timely matter and would i like to it expedited as soon as possible.

It has been over ayear on the recall for the passenger seat of my vehicle , is there a time frame about when it will be repaired, before something heppen or one of my kids get hurt from the airbag .
Inside door handles are made of plastic.and therefore they break.i have had three replaced at 250.00 per replacement.when a car cost 30,000 dollars, and it is made of plastic on the parts that are used most often, and a paint that is pealing.the clear coat is flaking off and make a care look unkept.not sure i will ever buy another ford product. My husband has a 150 truck 2008 and i tit is holding up fine.
I took my 2007 ford fusion to the haldeman ford dealershipinallentown, pa in response to nhtsa recall 19v-001. When the recall repair was completed, i was told by the service manager (victort) that although a new air bag inflator was installed, the air bag still would not inflate because the warning light on the dashboard would not go out. I was told that as long as the warning light was on the air bag would not inflate. I was told i would need to spend over $1200 to repair a rod underneath the seat that controlled this function. Without the repair of this rod, the air bag would not inflate in an accident, leaving me without airbag protection. Since this repair was not included in the recall, the repair would only be completed if i paid them the over $1200 repair cost. I was charged $110 for the diagnostic they performed to confirm that this, in fact, was the problem. I was told there was nothing further could be done at the dealer- ship to resolve the fact that the airbag would not be made functional unless i paid them over $1200. I asked for a telephone number to report this to ford. I called ford only to be told that the haldeman dealership had the right to charge me $110 for the diagnostic since they need to definitely determine the cause of the activation of the warning light. I presume that since they charged me to do the diagnostic test they will stand behind the results of that diagnostic test. I was also told by the ford representative that the problem that was causing the problem was not covered by the recall, so that if i wanted the air bag to inflate i would need to pay the $1200 repair fee. I told him the technicality of what the recall included wouldn't matter if someone were killed in an accident. He kept repeating the company line that the $1200 repair was a separate issue that was not included in the recall. He then hung up on me. Please help!
Takata recalli received a letter from ford in july 2016 stating that a defect in the passenger side air bag could cause death to the passenger in the event of an accident. It further stated that i would receive another letter when parts are available. Now, 8 months later, i have not received another letter, and the local dealer does not have the parts for the recall service and does not know when those parts will be available. Based on information on the ford web site i determined that my car is high risk for serious air bag malfunction because of its age (10 years) temperature fluctuations, and humidity variations. In spite of this very dangerous condition, known by ford motor company for a long time they have not performed the correction nor advised me when they will perform it.
Door handle driver side gas tank air bags recallbut no door handle
"takata recall" a recall for my vehicle's airbag has been in effect since june 1, 2016. It is now nov 11, 2017 and ford has been giving us the run around in regards to having it repaired, this includes hours of phone conversations and mulitple trips to various dealers. We still have not been able to have the vehicle repaired and are driving with a potentially fatal defect. If there are airbags available to build new cars then there should beairbags available to replace the ones that are defective. Customers should not be left waiting a year and a half and counting to have a safe vehicle. In its current state vehicles with the defective airbags would not pass the government safety standards that are required before a vehicle can be on the road.
After getting the ford airbag recall work fixed on my teenage son's vehicle, the airbag dashboard light came on (a few weeks later). Upon taking it to the dealer, they told me the car needed a new battery. I agreed to have it replaced, despite not having any previous battery issues. After the battery was replaced, the airbag light was still coming on. After a diagnostic, it was discovered the passenger side sensor needs repaired (over $1,000 cost to complete this work). This is absolutely ridiculous, had no problems until ford replaced my airbags. I was further told not replacing this sensor means no airbags will deploy if in an accident. Now the safety of my son is in your hands ford!!! if nothing is wrong with the airbags themselves, just a faulty passenger sensor....the driver airbag should still work!!this is unbelievalbe!!all this after waiting for over three hours at the dealer!!!
Takata recallmy vehicle has been under recall since june of 2016, but there is no remedy to fix the defective part therefore i and my family are still at risk.since the company has declared chapter 11, if my vehicle airbags cause injury after next week, i won't be covered.

Takata recall
Takata recalli have had this recall for a year and they still have no idea when they will have the part. I just can not figure out why this is taking so long. Now takata is bankrupt and my car is still not fixed. I hope it still gets fixed even with them getting bought out. Ford is dragging their feet on fixing their customers cars not thinking about could happen to the people driving these vehicles if they are involved in an accident.
"takata recall"my car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. The marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill maryland did try to look at it as to why i did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however i received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. I have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into ford located in camp springs maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. I have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated i should contact the nhts to complain.
The air bag light came up on the dashboard and it won't go away.
"takata recall",i received a recall notice from ford motor company in dearborn, michigan regarding a recall dated march 2017 instructing me to wait for a further notice from them indicating that they have parts available to enable me to contact my local dealer and have the defective parts replaced free of charge. I am still waiting. I have contacted my local dealer and was told i would get a notice from ford motor company. I am greatly concerned as i drive my vehicle about 50 miles daily to work and i drive my fiance many places, all the while worried that the defective part could cause scrapnel flying at both of us or the actual airbag not working correctly if needed, possibly injurying or even killing one or both of us or anyone else that happens to be in the car at the time. I feel that despite a chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding (tk holdings inc.,et al - chapter 11 case no. 17-11375 bls ) that ford is still able to get replacement kits to remedy the defect from takata as they are only restructuring and will continue to have enough kits to replace the defects. Ford is taking too long on this matter when people's safety and lives are at risk. The real worry is cause for punitive damages for stress and cruel and inhumane treatment due to ford 's neglect.

I was told that the part is not in yet and yet here we are late september 2018.

I was told that i would be contacted when parts were available and the airbag would be replaced free of charge. Since that time, i have never been contacted to have the airbag replaced. This year, i received a letter dated june 2018 basically telling me the same thing...that when the parts were available, the airbag would be replaced and that should happen during the second or third quarter of 2018. So far, i still have not received any word about replacing this airbag and it has now been two full years.i have not been able to travel with anyone in the front seat which has been a major inconvenience for my family.i have called ford several times and left messages but no one ever calls me back.

My air bag on the passenger side is lifting up from the dash. I did get the air bag recall fixed. I'm afraid to drive it. I feel this is a huge safety issue. Also the vent up next to windshield came off.

I am still waiting for this letter to inform me that the parts are available and i can contact the dealer torepair my passenger frontal airbag on my ford 2007 fusion.ford motor company and/or takata are on notice and are liable if there are any injuries to any drivers or passengers in this car.i need to have this resolved immediately.

Takata recall
Takata recall. I received a letter from ford many months ago, and have still received no updates from ford. Nor has the status changed on the nhtsa web site regarding getting the problem resolved. This, combined with the braking problem i just reported (for which you have an open investigation) makes me extremely weary about traveling with my children in my vehicle.
Takata recalli was first notified of the airbag recall in march of 2017.i find it hard to believe that parts are still not available.when will the airbag issue be addressed by ford?once this and the likely abs recall are addressed, if ever, i would like to sell my vehicle, but cannot do so in the mean time because i do not want someone to get injured or killed.
Recieved notice of recall about a year ago.when do we get this recall attended to?
Takata recall for airbags was announced many months ago.i was told i would be getting a notice from my dealer about getting replacements.that's never happened, even though i have followed up when i have been at the dealer (francois ford, belleville, wi) for maintenance.the dealer says the parts are back ordered and i will get notice.now i got notice of tk holdings inc. Filing chapter 11 bankruptcy.i followed up with the dealer, again, today, but still no parts.this is my complaint that a serious defect has not been resolved, which it appears is putting me at risk in the vehicle i rely on daily to get to work, etc.i want the problem fixed as soon as possible, and hold the manufacturer as responsible for resolution as much as the company that made the defective airbags.how do i make this happen before some unfortunate outcome occurs from activating the airbags?

I wanted to file my complaint on the brakes.i have had this vehicle since 8/07 and have had a few mechanics check the brakes.if i hit my brakes going over a bump they will go straight to the floor.most times it takes a couple hours for the brakes to return to normal. I have had many close calls; with the last one hitting the brakes and not knowing a bump was there, i had to swerve to keep from running into the back of another vehicle.this issue with the brakes has been going on continuous . Received recall letter for tarkata airbags still not had them repaired

Takata recall.i received a "do not drive" letter from ford and the nys dmv.i contacted 7 ford dealerships in upstate ny and ma, including ford rhinebeck, rc lacy ford (catskill, ny), crossroads ford (ravena, ny), fuccillo ford (east greenbush and latham), marchese ford (new lebanon, ny), among others.i was advised by all that the replacement part is not available until the end of september or october, and none could provide a rental car.
My 2007 ford fusion was purchased in 2011 and was financed, and i paid it off in december 2017. It since then only it has a 144,00 miles. It was purchased withlower mileage, of an estimation of 40,000 to 50,000 miles on it at final salemeaning it was a 2007 car, purchased in 2011, so that's a problem when before it had been paid off, and major problems of many. I would like a refund of a lesser equal to or equal value to my purchased car price from manufacture or dealership. The two recalls issued that i have not taken care of yet, and other problems with cheap made inside door handles broke easily, being hard plastic/metal, this makes getting out of my vehicle a major safety issues along with the other issues of airbags and brakes and other safety issues.

Yakata recall- dealers cannot get replacement parts
Informed recently that family is driving a vehicle with recalled airbags. Called local ford dealership and was given no indication of a known fix for the recall at this time and does not have in timeline for the solution. Requested again a solution for a now for unsafe vehicle on the road due to a recall. No such solution could be given.
Takata inflators there has been a recall on my vehicle for a long time now. I received the notice over a year ago about the recall but still haven't received notification about the replacement parts being in stock so i can take my vehicle in for repair! driving my vehicle is a constant worry due to this situation! what is going on? i am afraid to drive my own car because i am scared of what might happen to me and my passengers if i am involved in an accident. This is ridiculous!
The air bag light came on and stayed on.i took it to the local ford dealership.the service rep said that the passenger seat air bag sensor was defective.he said that there were no recalls and it would cost me $868.00 to fix it.i can't afford it so we're driving it with the light on.i think ford should replace it because many people have the same or similar problem with their fusions as well as a host of other makes makes, models, and years....updated 09/22/15 updated 11/28/2017

Airbag light stays on for the driver's side; sometimes i can get it to turn off if i restart the car.not sure what would happen with the indicator light on; afraid that the airbag may deploy.electrical:two things with the electrical.the first is the compass error.this actually occurred january 2012 (don't remember the mileage).i was parked in a parking lot and turned my vehicle on to have it warm up while i was cleaning the snow off of the car.since it didn't affect how the car handled, i didn't have it looked at.the second issue occurred 11/10/12 which was the driver's door lock would not disengage (mileage was approximately 73,350).i was parked to get out to gas up my car and pulled on the driver's door handle to unlocked the car, it wouldn't open.then i pushed the "unlock" button of the door and the driver's door still would not open.i ended up crawling over to the passenger's door to exit the vehicle.i attempted to enter the car using the door key and it did not disengage the lock.i am taking the vehicle into the ford dealer on monday 11/11/12 to have these problems resolved.please let me know if i need to do anything.thank you.

"takata recall":this recall has been in effect for years and the dealership still does not have the passenger frontal airbag inflator replacement part, nor can they provide me with an estimated date they expect to receive the parts and repair my vehicle.the only option they offered was to add me to a waiting list, which i've been on since i was notified of the recall years ago.in addition, the dashboard is warped due to high heat around the passenger side airbag.thru research, i discovered that the ammonium nitrate used in takata airbags can become unstable over time, especially after exposure to temperature fluctuations and periods of constant high humidity.i live in nc, which is zone b one of the three priority zones.the dealer has offered no remedy and i was told that they no longer have any loaner cars available.this the only vehicle i have for transportation so i have no choice but to drive it.a remedy to this problem should be provided immediately before more people die or are seriously injured.
Passenger side air bag cover is raised about a quarter incharound the edge airbag has not deployed but i am very concern.

Takata recall no accident no injury. Reporting ineptness of ford to rectify this situation. Dealer told me that my air bag may not deploy and allow no one to ride in the front passengerseat.

Air bag on passenger side is starting to bulge out of dash, sad there is not a recall for this seeing that there are plenty complaints about this.passenger seat belt where it fastens does not work it clicks like it is locked but if you tugged on seatbelt it automatically pops out not very safe if it doesn't work right.very disappointed in these flaws b/c i used to love my car!!
I received an email about the air bag recall on passenger side. My car dash board on the passenger side is coming apart as if something exploded under the dashboard. I am not sure why it is coming up but i will need it checked out to make sure this is not an issue with the air bag. If these air bags are explosive i want this fixed on my car asap.i just notice that my dash board is coming up on the passenger side but i did not know what caused it. I need this looked at asap.
Takata recall. Passenger airbag on dash is splitting. I can't allow my 15 year old to sit in the passenger seat for fear that the bag will erupt. This is a serious matter and i've taken it to the place where i purchased the car and was told there waiting on an ok to repair cars. In the mean time i'm in fear every day praying that this bag don't explode. My call back is [xxx]. I then called another location grand prairie ford in texas an was told almost the same thing by andrew & michelle. Due to the fact that this airbag is visibly open why can't a dealer repair it immediately? i would appreciate any feedback as to the next direction i should take. I drive this car as little as possible but i'm unable to afford another one. Thanks but i'mimpatiently waiting due to fear. [xxx].

The air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle, above the glovebox has exposed itself and the actual part of the surrounding dashboard has lifted upwards on it's own,it appears to be a safety defect and now my passenger airbag light stays on and i'm scared it will go off at any time due to the exposure of the components.
Takata recall: i've received 2 letters from ford over the last year and a half saying there is a recall for my airbags. I've called my local dealership and they have no supplies yet for putting new airbags in. They told me to contact ford, but then i received a settlement notice for tekata airbags. I concluded that these are the airbags in my car. I went to the website www.airbagrecall.com to get my new airbags, but all it gave me was the phone number to the dealership, which i've already called and they don't have any. I want this resolved and i'm getting the run around.
Takata recallit has been 15 months since i received my recall notice and i have yet to receive the second notice that parts are available. This is beyond unacceptable. The passenger side on the console is swelling around the edge of the airbag and the i'm scared to death that the airbag is going to explode at any moment. I don't let anyone sit in the front passenger seat because of the danger. I also tried to sell the car privately with full disclosure of the recall and the faulty abs module that sill hasn't been recalled. No one would buy it. Four different car dealers told me they wouldn't take it as a trade in because of the airbag and other known issues with this model year fusion. I'm stuck with this deathtrap until the end apparently because ford doesn't care or they'd buy the pos back.i'll never buy a ford again and i'll advise others to take their business to chevy/gmc.i'm searching for a lawyer to sue ford motor company.

Takata recalli am unable to be provided with any more information as to when or how the process of replacing the air bags is to proceed. Iam the only owner and driver of the vehicle a 2007 ford fusion. The cars has just about 40,000 thousands miles on it. My concern is that the ford company has no interest in replacing the air bags on a vehicle that is almost 10 years old!!!!! i drive this car daily and i have deep fears and concerns that i will have an accident that will invovle injuries from the defective air bags. I want a more truthfuland more detailed answer from the ford company insttead of they(who ever they are)are making parts .

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
"takata recall" :since i received notification of this recall in july 2016, i have called the dealership, called ford, called nhtsa,and filled out a complaint form that was mailed to me by nhtsa. The dash in my car is bulging above the passenger side air bag. My mechanic is telling me the air bag is likely "twisted." i believe this qualifies me for an immediate repair. From what i read on the recall site, ford can do an "interim" repair on high risk vehicles defined as: older vehicles exposed to high humidity/high temp. I lived in santa fe nm from may - august 2016 -which is about the time i noticed the sudden bulge in the dash. I currently live in florida which is another high humidity/high temp climate. Ford should consider my vehicle as "high risk" and send me the paperwork i need to have it repaired immediately.at the very least, they shouldsend me a voucher so i cantake it to any ford dealership to get it checked - free of charge. The sudden bulge in the dash above the airbag is clearly an indication something is wrong.fordshould be doing everything they can to get my car checked andrepaired at no charge to me. At this point, no one from ford has called or made any attempt to offer me a solution. I would like to know what recourse i have to get this taken care of.

Dashboard vinyl and padding is bulging away from the passenger airbag panel.this seems to be a safety issue as the airbag may not deploy properly in an accident, or may deploy at any time without an accident and injure the passenger.sometimes airbag light goes on.although the dashboard looks unsightly, this is not a cosmetic issue, it is a safety issue!!

Takata airbag.....dealer not responding to getting airbag replaced. We live in mesquite , nv.
I received notice of the takata airbag recall for my 2007 ford fusion in 03/2017.i contacted ford's customer service on 08/11/2017 and i was advised that ford is in the process of filing a new airbag supplier due to takata's filing for bankruptcy.it is now 11/15/2017 and my airbag has not been replaced, and i haven't heard any additional information from ford.i do realize that takata's filing for bankruptcy might have complicated the situation.i also realize that my vehicle is not the only one affected by this recall; however, it is a concern for me that 8 months have gone by and this safety recall has not been addressed.i hope that delay does not result in any injury to myself or anyone else.i feel that 8 months of waiting is a long time, especially for a safety recall and that this should be addressed as soon as possible.
There is a recall on the air bag deflator. And it cam rupture in an accident. I need it fixed immediately!
I have called the dealership for the takata recall and they continue to tell me that parts are not availableadditionally, last winter my abs braking system after a short slide on ice, the brake pedal became very soft and remains that way currently and i am concerned that if i have to brake hard for a severe stop that it will not stop properly.it happened when i braked on a street with ice, the abs kicked in as the tire slide on the ice, then afterwards the brake pedal has to be depressed significantly more towards the floor of the car that it used to from the inception of purchasing the car

I received a note from ford months ago that the passenger side airbag should be replaced and that i should wait until i hear from my local ford dealer.when i checked with the dealer he said we are "waiting for parts"... I have had no word from anyone since.
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.
Back in june,2014 i noticed something weird on my dash.for some reason the dash above the passenger side airbag is bubbling up.at first i thought it might be the heat from the sun, so i started parking my car in the shade to avoid higher temps hitting the dash.unfortunately, it did not help.the bubble kept growing and growing.now it's so large that i am worried that the airbag has become compromised.i am concerned that the airbag may deploy when i'm driving or possible not deploy if i am in a car accident.it appears there are quite a few people complaining about the same problem.please fix this ford!!very dangerous!

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.
I took my car to have the airbag recall fixed and the dealership told me my airbags being replaced won't make my airbag light on the dash go off. It is something something else idk they wanted to charge me to diagnose it. It just doesn't make sense they are fixing the airbags yet the airbag light will not go off even after they are replaced. Makes absolutely no sense.

My wife was driving down the road and noticed some bulging thru the passenger airbag on the dash. She immediately pulled over and removed my 12 yr and secured him in the back seat with lap/shoulder belt. I contacted ford today and they advised me that the dash would have to be replaced at my expense at a cost of $1000/1200 dollars. I think this should be a safety issue and ford replace it. I can not imagine that airbag doing a faulty firing with no accident involved and striking my child. Thank you.
The frontal passenger takata airbag has not yet burst, however, the cover and sides have curled up somewhat and makes a rupture of the inflator appear imminent.i have waited literally years for a free replacement but am still sidelined with being told the parts are not ready yet.are you kidding me?i need a replacement before the thing ruptures and kills someone.
Takata inflators. I have been notified of this recall since march, 2017 and there is still not a remedy solution to this problem. I am very disappointed of the lack of speed and, as a result, lack of concern that whoever is in charged of fixing this problem has. Thankfully my family and i have not been in an accident, but i would like to have my car fix as soon as possible. 2017 is almost over and this recall has been almost in effect for a year - something that it's completely unacceptable.
The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap.the consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment.the seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it.the interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate.the engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.

Takata recallreceived a post card from tk holdings regarding a takata airbag recall.we checked airbagrecall.com and found that our ford fusion 2007 was included in that recall.we were advised to call the local ford dealer to have the passenger side airbag replaced immediately.sexton ford in moline was very rude and the only information they would give us was that there are no parts available to fix this.how can there not be any parts available for a recall that, if not fixed, may result in death?now we are unable to utilize the passenger seat of our car until the airbag is replaced.

Since purchasing the vehicle from gresham ford on 12/10/16, there have been three separate occasions when the vehicle lost control while braking and did not stop when expected.i was very fortunate to avoid collisions on all three occasions. The first incident occurred on 7/28/17.the roads were dry.i was driving on the interstate at highway speed when i saw stopped traffic ahead and had to stop quickly.i had plenty of time to slow down and stop, however, when i applied the brakes, the tires squealed, vehicle skidded and actually left tire marks on the road and i was very close to not being able to stop in time.i took the ford in to gresham ford to get the brakes checked the next day and was told by a service tech. That the brakes were fine, but that i might want to get the abs checked out.the next incident occurred on january 11, 2018, when i was driving on the interstate, traveling at 60 mph in the rain.i tapped the brakes lightly as i entered into some water that had pooled (not deeply) on the roads.my car completely lost control and started hydroplaning.i could not pull out of the hydroplane for 20-30 seconds.my car was pulling towards the exterior guardrail for some time and then suddenly it was as if someone grabbed my steering wheel and pulled it as hard as they could to the left.i started traveling diagonally across lanes of traffic, but was able to recover because the vehicle stopped hydroplaning at that point.the third incident occurred on october 26, 2018.i was going about 40-45.it was raining, but not enough to hydroplane.the stoplight turned yellow and i knew i didn't have time to make it through before it turned red.i had to stop quickly, but when i did, instead of stopping, my vehicle began skidding (not hydroplaning) and sliding forward.the car was difficult to control and was pulling me toward the left lane.

Takata recall: this is a recall that i have not been notified of as this was a preowned vehical when i purchased it. No incident has occurred with this vehicle since i have owned it.
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.
Takata recall-it's been over a year since the recall and ford still has not notified me when replacement parts will be available.
The air bag on the passenger side is starting to open . It's raised about 1 to 2 inches. When i came of work and got in the car i found it like that. The car was not involved in any accidents.please advise. Does anyone else have this issue?
I have been informed that my ford fusion is under recall repair for the airbags. I cannot get them repaired because there are no parts available.

I had just bought my 2007 ford fusion barely a month ago based on the fact that the vin number was clean, no history of accidents and one owner. I have had no idea that my now new to me precious vehicle that i love lots and shelled out 3,000 for was a part of this airbag inflate recall until i got a notification in the mail yesterday and ran my plate through the airbag recall website. I use my now loved vehicle for uber and i take my children to school in the vehicle in question daily. Now it makes me question not only my personal safety but the safety my children and my uber passengers. Lucky for me i have not gotten into an accident with this vehicle yet. I have been in an accident in a vehicle that had absolutely no airbags at all 10 years ago and i am literally fortunate enough to still be alive and well. In the accident i was in just not this vehicle in particular, highway patrol in nevada thought i was going to die. Now this vehicle i just bought i bought october 4th, 2017. Also i caught when my 12 year old son who happens to be the same height and weight as me the passenger side airbag off light stays on when he is in the vehicle. I'm 5'3" 125 pounds. He's the same. That should not be.
Takata recall.we received ford takata safety recall notice on july 21, 2016, which explained why our passenger dash was cracked and bulging. We immediately called local ford dealer.he said he did not have the parts and we would be contacted when parts came in. We have contacted dealer multiple times because the dash is still bulging where passenger airbag is located.what really concerned us was the following sentence in the notice:"a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." consequently we have been afraid to drivethe fusion and so it just sits in our driveway.

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 outstandingrepair 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, includingloss 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.
On several occasions, primarily in colder weather, the air bag indicator in the instrument cluster on the dash board remains on after starting. This happens unpredictably at random intervals. Once the engine is warm, shutting off the ignition and restarting will resolve the problem. I am told that the air bags will not deploy if the air bag light is on.

Takata recall - still waiting for parts for the last 2-3 years for my elderly mothers 2007 ford fusion. Every time she checks with the dealer they say they are waiting for parts. This could be a hazard if she has a front end collision. Do not understand why ford is taking so long. My 2002 honda was corrected over 2 years ago.
Takata recalli just recently purchased a 2007 ford fusion s on march 9, 2018 to discover on april 2, 2018 that there is a recall for the takata airbags in my car. I called ford on april 3, 2018 to discover by an employee in the service department that i in fact have 2 recalls for the front passenger and front driver airbags. Ford told me to call them periodically because they don't have either part to fix my car at the time. That's all they told me. When i hung up, i checked my vin again online and now 0 recalls are showing up which is wrong! i need my car fixed and i don't understand why my recall on my vin disappeared off of this website and also missing from safercar as well. It originally had a recall and changed status overnight? that doesn't seem right to me. I need my car fixed because i have small children and this is the only car we have access to. Why is your website telling me 0 recalls today and 1 last night??

Takata recall.... This is over a year and no fix to date..last week we noticed that the airbag was lifting from the dashboard.. Of course ford told me may not be related. I feel very nervous to drive my car but also am not going to pay for something that eventurally will be fixed. I feel as though my best option at this point is to have the airbag shut off is that possible?
I have received several letters from ford regarding the airbag recall.whenever i ask my dealership about replacing the airbags i am told that they are not available.i called ford motor company and got the same response.what do i do?

Takata recall,to whom it may concern, i received a safety recall information letter regarding my 2007 ford fusion [xxx], and there's a warning not until all remedy parts become available (spring of 2018), do not allow anyone to sit in the first-row passenger seat.my big concern is that we are a family of 5 and i am not sure how am i going to seat my family safe inside my car. I am requesting in the mean time to get a rental car until my vehicle gets this issue resolved.i called ford customer care and i was told to write a letter as he was not able to assist me with my issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
The dashboard on the passenger side around the airbag is bulging. It has gotten worse as time goes on. I am worried that if i was ever in an accident, the passenger would not be protected.
Awaiting repairs on a takata airbag for years. The issue was identified in 2012, a recall was issued in 2016, and parts are claimed to be unavailable as of 1/11/2018. The dealer says call the manufacture hotline, the manufacturer hotline says they'll repair when they have parts, i have been waiting for multiple years. The nhtsa state the seating position should not be used. Fine, then comp the tco for primary seating position. I feel like the nhtsa and the manufacture are simply colluding to delay repairs until these vehicles are no longer in service.

"takata recall"the vehicle was, in motion, on ahighway, braking, due to icy weather. The problem that created the unsafe condition was road conditions, neither airbags deployed, vehicle first hit the right side of the bridge the went across lanes hit the right side the ended up horizontal in the roadway when struck by an f150.i believe airbags should have deployed causing less damage to my daughter and her friend as in the owners manual states it as a safety feature.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*pm
Takata recall. Numerous delays by the ford motor company in securing a permanent fix for the passenger airbag recall have left me with a car of limited use. Repair parts for priority group 6 were supposed to be available late 3rd quarter 2017, but the 5th amendment to the cro delayed this to late 1st quarter 2018. Adding to this, ford notified the nhtsa in november 2017 that further delays will be required. At the current time it is unknown when ford will have a permanent fix ready for implementation. Ford's letter in december 2017 now indicates it is unsafe for occupants to sit in the passenger seat, making the car only partly usable.it does not appear to me that ford is resolving this issue in a timely fashion, and now my family's safety in the car is questionable. Due to the multiple delays, ford should allow owners to request a temporary, like-for-like replacement at no cost to reduce the risk of failure until the permanent fix is available. This would also restore full functionality of the vehicle by permitting use of the passenger seat. This temporary fix would be ideal for my situation and i feel ford and the nhtsa should permit these repairs on a case-by-case basis.thank you for your consideration with this matter.

Takata recallit has been almost 2 years since the first notification of this issue and i was then told that i could not have anyone sit in my passengers seat of my car.i spoke with ford on 5/1/2018 and was informed from them that parts were available to remedy the airbag issue but when speaking with my dealership this was not true. Very disappointed with how this has been handled.
Passenger side airbag is bulging up on one side.i park in a garage and i'm in wi so we don't get extreme heat, so i'm not sure why i'm having a issue.it's either an airbag issue or a dashboard issue.my passenger side airbag light appears to be working fine...it only goes on with a passenger or when my purse gets too heavy and its on the seat.also, my accelerator petal makes a weird static-sounding noise when it's at a certain position.it has nothing to do with speed, it happens at various speeds, so it's only when the petal is held in the same spot which is about halfway down to the floor.if i press the petal down beyond this spot or raise my foot so the petal is above that spot, the noise stops...only to return again when the petal eventually lands back in that problematic spot (about halfway down).

Takata recall have been waiting 2 years now for the part and now i have an airbag light on, on my dash.
Takata recall - i received my 1st recall notice from ford dated july 2016. Aug 24, 2016 i called ford and they said the parts are under production and would be available 4th quarter 2016. I called ford 10/18/2016 and they told me they are still engineering the replacement air bags. I was given incorrect information in august, and i am very concerned if ford is doing anything at all about this. I do not drive this car because of the possible danger, i had to buy another car, and it is hard to pay for the new car. Meanwhile i cannot sell the ford because of the danger. So please be honest with me, what is going on with the takata air bag recall?

Takata recall- have been receiving notices for over 3 1/2 years that my airbags have been recalled on my ford fusion.still nothing...call the local ford dealership and they tell me they are waiting on parts.going on 4 years...and waiting on parts??? bs.
Takata recall - my ford dealership is still saying after a year and a half that they do not have parts to replace the defective airbag. I am concerned about driving my vehicle any longer without the recall fixed. I have asked every few months about this since the initial notice i received last year (june 2016) to no avail. I am writing this complaint to memorialize that i have tried contacting my dealership getting the same response that there is no solution i just have to wait. This is not timely in my opinion considering that this could cause death. I have registered my email address with tkrestructuring.com per the instructions on the bankruptcy notice, but am still concerned that my vehicle has not been addressed and find this negligent at the very least, thanks! cristina

Takata recall. I am filing a complaint in regards to my vehicle that is already recalled. My car has been recalled for a passenger airbag that is part of the takata airbag issue. My car was recalled in june of 2016. That initial recall notice was my only information sent to me by ford. I have not seen any updates to this recall since. When i call i get the usual canned response from a representative that there is no fix yet. I have been checking their website regularly. Today the site doesn't even show my car as being recalled which i hope is just a problem with their website. My car is close to 10 years old with this airbag and my environment has been very humid and hot during the summer months which can contribute to these airbags rupturing. It would be nice to at least get some sort of time frame as to when ford hopes to have a fix, or even an idea of when this is going to be remedied. A simple answer of fourth quarter 2017, or whatever, i don't care. I don't feel comfortable driving this car even though i can't afford not to since it is my commuter car. I don't allow anyone to ride in this vehicle either.

I received a letter from ford dated july 2016 regarding a safety recal notice 16s26/nhtsa recall 16v-384. I brought my vehicle to my local dealership which is lester glenn ford 900nj-35 ocean township, nj 07712 732-201-2167 to have the problem resolved. They told me the part (airbag) was not available and they would call me as soon as it was in stock. I have called many times and i continue to be told that the part is not available. Its been 5 months!i work for a lexus dealership and all the customers with the same airbag issue have been given rental cars in order to protect their safety and those effected are getting their airbag frontal airbag inflator replaced. Why isnt ford doing something, i mean its not a broken radio or navigation error, its a safety issue and i feel ford has done nothing to help me!
Takata recall. I received a letter stating that my airbags were available and to contact my dealer. Unfortunately, i am a military members and am stationed overseas. I called ford direct in the states and the dealer i bought my car from as well. Ford direct to led me to call ford direct in spain and they could not help me with my car. Ford direct spain said the campaign is not going on in europe and they would contact me if it started. I also called a ford rep in germany that the local dealer to me to call and they said they could not get me the part. The fix is to not sit anyone in the front seat of the car. All i want is to work with a dealer in the states to ship (by boat if need be) the part to th dealer here. They said they would be happy to fix it once it was here. Ford does not seem to care to do anything to help me with making my car safe to drive other than giving me a phone number of the company here. Is there any way to help support military members affected by the recall who are stationed overseas or am i to deal with this issue for 3 to 4 more years till i get to the states?

I took my 2007 ford fusion to a dealership in regards to my passenger side dash had begun to bulge in the beginning of the year. They stated it was o.k. And i did not need to worry about the airbag deploying. I asked them how much would it be to fix it and 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. I took it back to the dealership on august 19, 2015 and was told that they does not fix cosmetic work or trim.

"tanaka recall" 2 years and no solution, maybe i should park the car and have them supply me with a rental.
The air bag on the passenger side has been bulging for over a year now.when i first noticed it, i checked to see if it could be fixed.i was told that i would have to pay out of pocket expenses to fix it and it would probably cost me well $1000 bucks.some have been quoted over $2000.my car is paid for and i am no longer covered under warranty.even with a warranty i was informed that it would most likely not be covered under a warranty.to me, this issue a safety hazard.i am forced to leave the passenger side air bag off because i am afraid if i hit a bad bump in the road, it might explodeand cause me to have an accident or even injure my passenger.having to leave it off, if i have an accident it may not deploy if i am involved in an accident.i researched and there are numerous complaints regarding the bulging air bag on different models of the ford fusion, i do not feel it is fair that i/we should have to pay out of pocket to fix this problem because it is a safety hazard and not a cosmetic problem caused by the consumer.is ford going to wait until something terrible happens and face a lawsuit because they do not want to recall these vehicles and fix the problem?i do not have a couple $1000 dollars to get this fixed.my ac has been broken since last year.i don't even have the money to fix the ac.please, if there is anything that can be done to get this.this really needs to be on the recall list.

Customer feels that the seat belts and the side air bags are a hazard and are not safe in a rollover**ccthe consumer stated the seat belts are not safe in a rollover due to the incorrect assumption that the roof will remain intact. The consumer also stated the air bags are not helpful because occupants may have their heads thrown against the side windowsby a previous maneuver or impact, before a side impact, only to have their necks broken by an inflating air bag.the head restraints have supportsthat are too weak to prevent injury in a severe rear impact.

Takata recall... In my own words, the nhtsb is not doing its job. Takata filed for us bankruptcy protection. This recall has been active for 18+ months without a fix. Why isn't ford motor company being held accountable and forced to invest enough resources to immediately remedy this potentially fatal issue?

Takata recalli spent a total of 1.5 hours on the phone with ford dealerships in my area. None of the five contacted had the part to repair. The earliest one service department said was '5-7 days, but call us if you don't hear from us after 7 days...you know, to make sure we ordered the part'...excuse me what?i called another dealership and the guy said two weeks before they would even get the part, and when i said 'that's too long', the loser replied 'ok cya!'not only am i angered by this recall, time wasted today, the lack of parts available (and yes i understand there are 'priority groups', i've done my research)...but when i exhausted all options and gave in to calling 833-221-3566, the woman on the other end was difficult to understand and transferred me to a dealership forty five miles away. Come on.a shot in the dark of '5-7 days'...after the time i've already waited (and waited, and waited!) is not a reasonable amount of time.if the national highway traffic safety administration is 'a-okay' with me traveling another mile in an automobile with defected parts that could kill a driver (me) or passenger (cousin, father, friend, daughter)...that's disgusting.i, along with everyone else affected by this recall, should receive a safe, loaner vehicle until the part is available and replaced. The wait isn't the issue. It's the fact we are risking our lives (and the lives of others) with the damaged goods we were sold.feel free to use this, share it with ford and their absurd excuse for 'customer service', print it out, or throw it away. I had to share my complaint with someone who can actually do something about it.thank you.

The air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle, above the glovebox has exposed itself and the actual part of the surrounding dashboard has lifted upwards on it's own, due to hear in my opinion, it is a safety defect and now my passenger airbag light is on (which means it's shut off on it's own) and i'm scared it will go off at any time due to the exposure of the components.

Took my car in to the ford dealer and they said they would not replace the airbag because it had a savage title. The car was in a wreck in pennsylvania. It had driver's side damage and was repaired. I am told that when there is an accident in pennsylvania, they always put salvage on the title. Does ford need to replace?
Dashboard on the passenger side of the car has become unglued and is now sticking up above the airbag panel. It appears that this could be safety issue if the airbag were to deploy.
Takata recallit has been over a year since i have purchased this vehicle and still have not received notification that a remedy for the recall is available.

Takata recall. So the recall was january 2017, 11 months ago. Takata filed chapter 11 in us and bankruptcy in japan. So for 11 months and counting i am still driving a ford with a pontential killer airbag. The dealers keep saying it will be another month and yet no end is in site. How can ford continue to ignore the safety of tens of thousands of us citizens driving thier cars under an active recall for over 11 months and not have a solution and fix in place?they have not adressed this in a timely manner by any streatch of the imagination and continue to leave people at risk. If they have no fix in place by december 31, 2017 then force ford to by back all the defective cars thay have placed on the road.

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 "rupturedinflator 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 replacementassembly/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].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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 forthe 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.

Takata recall - received notice of this recall almost 2 yrs ago with no dealer having the product available to make the repair. The dashboard area where the airbag is located has loosened and appears to worsen as time passes. I am concerned that something major is going to happen at some point.

Takata recall: it's been a year since we were informed of the recall. Does nhtsa put pressure on the dealers to get the recall completed?
Takata recall; recall was issued june 1 of 2016. It is now april 17, 2017, and there is still not a remedy available. This is unacceptable. My 2007 honda civic was caught up in the same recall, and it has been repaired/replaced.

Further, i understand that the failure of the airbag is more likely to occur in humid/corrosive environments. I live on the gulf coast and it is quite humid here. This has drug on far, far too long.

The dash panel on my 2007 fusion suddenly lit up - oil light, air bag light, etc. - and after stopping the car it would not start again. The battery cables (especially the positive one) were highly corroded. After removing the corrosion and replacing the battery it started. Five weeks later it failed to start again. Both times the radio and lights worked but the car would not start. I tried jumping it off, but it did not even try to turn over. Had it towed to the dealership and they said the battery cables and 20 feet of cable wire were completely corroded and would have to be replaced. The car has fewer than 48,000 miles on it. I do not live in a high salt area either. Apparently this is not under warranty either. I believe that substandard equipment was used and that there should be a notice sent out to other fusion owners to take any precautionary steps to avoid this ' if there are any. Ultimately, i think ford should cover this repair. It is clearly due to shoddy cables and wiring.
On feb 19 2014 at 8:30 as i parked my 2007 ford fusion in my driveway i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. I noticed my steering wheel would not lock. Made sure the vehicle was in park and still the key would not turn all the way back so that the wheel could lock and key could be removed.i looked online to see hundreds of same problem with key getting stuck. And most of them had to do with gear shift silver button not releasing to let key turn all the way. Seeing these many same problem should warrant a recall to this problem.
I had just went to the store, dropped my cousin off at home right up the street from my house.i pulled out on the highway and gave it gas and the car wouldn't go over 10 mph.i notice in my rear view mirror, a car was coming up fast, so i pulled over out the way until the way was clear, then i putted all the way home.the car had no power.i have been googling these problems, and i had a mechanic come to my house and put the diagnostics machine on my car and it came back with a code of: p2110 2007 ford fusion - throttle actuator control system - forced limited rpm ....read more: http://engine-codes.com/p2110_2007_ford_fusion.html#ixzz3svzzppzk.as i am still googling, looks like i will have to get the computer reprogrammed.well it hasn't been a year since that car left me on the side of the road and i had to go the cheap way of getting the computer fixed and all coils replaced which was 800.00. Now its saying i have to get the computer reprogrammed again. I am not financial stable to keep putting money into a car where the computer keeps messing up, and, me driving it and losing power is really dangerous because it could have caused an accident if i couldn't get out of the highway...i read there was a warranty on this up until january 2015 but i was unaware of that.my car has 1756500 give or take on it a little
The engine control module or pcm burned due to an electrical short at cylinder #4.it is a 2007 ford fusion with 100,000 miles.this appears to be a safety issue and there is was no fail-safe to shut the computer to avoid a possible engine fire.the mechanic advised if this car was driven anymore you would have had an engine fire.
No a/c , electrical not supplied to compressor , no help from ford , lack oc concern.
Brakes - on many occasions while driving on the highway and city street i find i have to press the brake all the way to the floor for the car to fully stop and i have been in many close call fender benders.electrical - the left turn signal stopped working in route to work ,so i assumed the bulb blew out. However, when driving the car again the turn signal started working again. For the two weeks the left turn signal worked intermittently which made me very nervous when making left turns. As of now the left turn signal is working again with no intermittence and i don't know if/when the turn signal or something else will stop working out of the blue or why this happened in the first place.trunk leakage - the tire well in the trunk as well as the spare tire area was full of water and not sure where the leakage is coming from. I have had the car 9 years and don't recall water in that area. At this point i don't place items in the trunk for fear of it getting wet on a heavy rain days here in florida.vents - i had to remove the defrost vent above the dashboard because the lining that holds it in place is bent and warpeda/c - continues to malfunction, i have had the air serviced multiple times and when working it's great but then the air becomes less cool and goes completely hot. This is torture during the summer.
Car jolted while cruising at 70 mph on the interstate, then went in to like a first gear and high rpm.all the dashboard gauges, lights and radio went off. Put in neutral and everything came back on and functioned. Put back in drive and the same issue with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so i could use my flashers and after coasting for a little bit the entire car shut down and would not come back on. Had to tow to a nearby dealership (54 miles away) where they are telling me the throttle body has failed and needs replaced.
No a/c to to compressor due to electrical problem. Lights in the car always dim.
Came home from work , went back out to car to go to store noticed left front turn signal bulb was on steady. Changed bulbs stayed on still. Had it checked out said it was the smart junction box. This is a common problem many people are having and something needs to be done to fix it. Ford needs to do a recall and make it right !
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion.approximately fifteen minutes after the vehicle was parked, it caught fire.there were no injuries.the fire department extinguished the flames.it was ruled as an electrical fire.the vehicle was destroyed and a report was filed.the failure mileage was 28,000. Updated 8/24/09 updated 08/26/09.
The 2007 ford fusion developed erratic electrical power and starting failure. Dealership found that the battery cables had essentially disintegrated from battery posts along considerable length of the cables, also destroying the battery with excessive corrosion and splitting the plastic cable sheaths. Vehicle was only 2 years old but had 42,000 mi. A quick internet search immediately found 3 other 2006-2007 fusions with same occurrence, all just slightly over the 36,000mi warranty and not covered. Ford has not issued a tsb, has not volunteered to cover any of the $428 cost. This is a clear quality control product failure, unacceptable on any 2-yr-old vehicle, and could have resulted in a fire or stranding situation.
Key gets locked up in ignition not allowing removal and will randomly lock steering wheel
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.
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.
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.
Unable to remove key from ignition. Shift lever button will not fully extend to allow the selector to go into proper position so that the key can be moved.i have pushed and let it snap back out and have been able to get it out once or twice but now stays in most of the time.this has just started on this 2007 fusion with in last 7 days.
The front left turn signal is not working and the vehicle gives no warning of this fact (like when the bulb goes out and the turn signal blinks faster). The bulb and fuse are fine and according to the dealer it is the smart junction box which costs six hundred dollars to replace. My research online indicates that this is a common problem and i fail to see how ford does not consider inoperable turn signals to be anything other than a safety issue. Every turn or four way stop is a safety issue as others drives have no idea which direction we will be traveling.
Airbag light stays on for the driver's side; sometimes i can get it to turn off if i restart the car.not sure what would happen with the indicator light on; afraid that the airbag may deploy.electrical:two things with the electrical.the first is the compass error.this actually occurred january 2012 (don't remember the mileage).i was parked in a parking lot and turned my vehicle on to have it warm up while i was cleaning the snow off of the car.since it didn't affect how the car handled, i didn't have it looked at.the second issue occurred 11/10/12 which was the driver's door lock would not disengage (mileage was approximately 73,350).i was parked to get out to gas up my car and pulled on the driver's door handle to unlocked the car, it wouldn't open.then i pushed the "unlock" button of the door and the driver's door still would not open.i ended up crawling over to the passenger's door to exit the vehicle.i attempted to enter the car using the door key and it did not disengage the lock.i am taking the vehicle into the ford dealer on monday 11/11/12 to have these problems resolved.please let me know if i need to do anything.thank you.
The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap.the consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment.the seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it.the interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate.the engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.

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 anything, but when i called the main office, i was told that nothing had been reported.i never felt they cared what happened to me, because they didn't look into the first incident, but years later, i received an apology; give them another chance with my next purchase and they can't do anything now. Well, they never did anything and i would have been very surprised if they did.
My son was traveling down road and car completely shut down. Computer and coils shorted out. Thank goodness he was able to move into turning lane.this would have been dangerous if he had been on the interstate.need part number 7u7z12a650dla. Car is currently at dealership in waiting on part. It has been there over 2 weeks.we have been told 1000 fusions are waiting on this part.

Passenger rear door lock buzzes but doesn't lock.when the car is locked, the door can still be opened from the outside.
Pcm board is bad. The car has 106,000 miles.
During an oil change, the mechanic noticed that the right front turn signal was not working and changed the bulb. When the new bulb didn't work, he checked closer and determined that it was flashing very dimly . The dealer informed us that the smart junction box is the problem and will cost $600 to replace. There was no indication to the driver that a turn signal was not working and it was simply luck that the issue was spotted by an alert mechanic. This is dangerous if the driver thinks he is signaling a turn or lane change when nothing is visible outside the vehicle.

I have owned my ford fusion sel v6 since june of 2009.in may of 2011 my ac went out within minutes of being used.i had stopped at my house for a minute in between errands and the ac worked when i turned the car off.when i got back in to leave again the ac would not work.a few weeks after that, my driver side inside door handle broke and i am no longer able to open the door from the inside.now in may 2013, my passenger side door handle is broken the same as the driver side and the two back door locks have to be locked from inside because they don't work from the remote.i have also been experiencing a loud humming sound that sounds like the tires.however, after having the car looked at, i have been told that it is a problem with my transmission (not my tires at all)i see here where many of these issues have been reported but nothing is being done about any of these issues by ford.this is the first ford i have owned and it is going to be the last.i am looking at getting a different car asap.
Car jolted then went in to like a first gear with high rpm. All gauges went to zero and all dashboard things stopped, including radio. Put in neutral, all gauges returned to normal and all lights functioned. Put back in drive and the same issuer with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so i could use hazard lights but then the entire car shut down. Had to tow to a dealership where the are telling me the throttle body has failed and needs replaced.
I was driving to work on december 11, 2013 down rte 3a at approximately 8am.when i took a left onto westford rd., and accelerated up the hill the vehicle suddenly cut out to the point it would not go any further. I almost was hit from a car from behind me who also was accelerating up the hill, but fortunately he swerved around me in time.i called triple aaa and they towed it to palmer''s automotive.according to the mechanic, thediagnostic showed one of the coil packs malfunctioned.. Upon replacement, the coil pack overheated and blew again.finding it odd, the mechanic contacted ford.working with the ford technician, a bulletin was found stating the car had a known issue with the pcm, the computer module for the vehicle.ford told the mechanic, the part would be there in 2 weeks.2 weeks went by and on christmas eve, our mechanic was told there is a national back order on the part and it would be 2 to 4 more weeks.also, the repair would cost in the vicinity of 1700.00 dollars.it is now 1/12/14 and we still have no car and no word on when it will be fixed.ford''s recent ads infuriate me on tv about their reliability etc compared to other brands.the warrantee expired at 80k miles and this car has 84k on it.we are still making payments on a car that is inoperable for the past 6 weeks, as well as facing a huge repair bill, which adds insult to injury.most importantly, i think about what may have happened if i had decided to take the highway instead of rte 3a to work that day, the results may have been tragic.
Lost power while trying to pass a carhad no throttle and almost had a head on collision got got home had a air injection code p0491 in the system. Found a bad air injection pump loaded with water replaced the air pump and the problem is solved i see ford has a lot of issues with water getting into these pumps but refuses to do anything about it.contacted ford with no response. I worked in ford dealerships for over 25 years so i know how to diagnose these problems. I am not concerned about the money for fixing this problem i just feel the issue should be corrected before someone gets hurt or killed.

I parked my 2007 ford fusion at my house and i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. My steering wheel would not lock. I made sure that my car was in park, and still my key would not come put of the ignition. My boyfriend disconnected the battery, and tried to turn the key backwards and this was the only way the key could come out. We replaced the ignition switch, and the ignition switch sensor and it still not working. I would like for this to be reported and i would like to know how to fix the problem.
Pcm failed on a 2007 ford fusion se v6 while on the highway. This resulted in near-immediate electrical failure, stalling the car after app. 30 seconds. User forums online seem to indicate that this is a recurring problem with 2007 fusions, possibly stemming from ecu failure (although opinions are undecided on whether a feedback issue causes the ecu to fail, or the ecu fails and causes feedback). Damage to the car included frying all six spark plugs, and significant damage to all six ignition coils which necessitated replacement, as well as necessitating replacement of pcm unit. Ford also draws a distinction between the warranty on the ecu (8 years / 80,000 miles) and the warranty on the pcm (3 years / 36,000 miles) when assessing the damage - since this failure commonly results in damage to the pcm, they almost always seem to elect to consider only the pcm warranty. Total cost to driver: app. $2,000 plus labor.
"takata recall"my car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. The marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill maryland did try to look at it as to why i did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however i received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. I have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into ford located in camp springs maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. I have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated i should contact the nhts to complain.
Pcm failed causing vehicle to lose power and burn up ignition coils.
Went to pass a slow moving vehicle and when gas pedal was pressed the vehicle responded with no power, shuddered, and stalled.had towed to a local trusted mechanic who was unable to diagnose a specific problem because the he was getting "crazy problem codes".vehicle was towed to a ford dealer who discovered the coils were destroyed due to a pcm failure.coils and pcm replaced at the cost of $2,200.driving home after vehicle was "repaired" check engine light came on.took vehicle back to dealership, diagnosed a catalytic converter failure. Catalytic converter failed due to the pcm/coil failure.vehicle will not pass emissions inspection until converter is repaired/replaced at an additional cost of $2,000+.dealership indicated that nothing could have been done to prevent the pcm/coil failed, it "just happened". Basic research shows that this happens with enough frequency that ford must be aware of the problem. Vehicle 2007 ford fusion v6 awd.
Vehicle was missing, thought it was plugs or needed tuneup. Mechanic said 2 coils were burnt outand needed replacement along with plugs. Had two replaced and 6 plugs replaced. The next week same problem, took back to mechanic, said another coil burnt out, checked computer and said dealer would need to look at problem, may be an onboard computer issue called pcm.result:ford dealer dx computer issue,calling for replacement and also all coils and plugs. Total cost of mechanics and dealer...$581 plus 2015= 2596.no problems since, but was warned that this could happen again by dealer, and that this would be warrantied. Not sure if that is true. Dealer would not admit to any problems with other fusions, nor would regional ford customer service rep.will keep car for a year or so and see what happens, most likely trading within the next two years. Dont want that same problem to happen again.
Pcm shorted out the number 4 coil and caught on fire. Coil was on fire when mechanic pulled it out. Have investigated on internet several problems with this but not a recall yet. Cost $800 to fix. Co worker had same thing happen this week on a v6 ford escape.

Driving on highway at 55 mph when total loss of power. Drove home doing about 20 mph with high rpms. #2 coil burnt and melted, blown pcm. Had to have pcm reprogrammed and replace all 6 coil packs. Seems to be a prevalent problem with the 2007 awd, ford needs to do something about this.
Without warning, vehicle jerked, decelerated and slowed to a stop on the highway. Vehicle would not respond to pressing of gas pedal. Had to pull vehicle off to the side of the road. Orange wrench icon appeared. Turned car off and on again and icon disappeared. Not knowing when the vehicle is going to stop accelerating is extremely dangerous. It is only a matter of time before this issue affects someone while they are driving and are unable to safely pull off of the road.

On approximately may 12, 2010 as i parked my2007 ford fusion in parking lot of convenient store i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. I noticed my steering wheel would not lock. I returned home and my husband made sure the vehicle was in park and still the key would not turn all the way back so that the wheel could lock and key could be removed. He disconnected my battery post and then tried to turn the key backwards and this is the only way the key would turn back enough to lock the wheel and be removed. I called a local ford dealer and was told they did not have any reports of the fusion but did have reports about another model. I would like to have this reported because this can be costly. I am now convinced.

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!
Upon remedying the recall, to adjust the affected "passenger side" airbag, whereas the finalized maintenance resulted in the fusion's diagnostic fault code, of which has delayed the absolution of passing an inspectionthis sensor hasn't "ever" illuminated 'til after the repair was completedit remains "on" whether a passenger is in the seat or not

Either in 2008 or 2009, shortly after purchasing a brand new 2007 ford fusion, i was greeted with the first major issue of my brakes going out on me while driving.find out this was due to a defective master cylinder. The engine light turned on within 3-4 years of having the vehicle, and was found to be related to the thermostat, the engine would always run towards the cool end, never going above 1/3 of the way to the halfway mark. That was fixed after years of failed attempt.and all the while, i never had a functioning air condition unit and would have to repair yearly, and then found to be related the car always running too cool.over the past two years, i have had to replace the gasket twice, because oil would appear in places it should not (i always maintain my car by doing the oil changes, etc on time).this past sunday, i was driving and going around 70 mph when my car started to decelerate to 65, then 60, then would not go past 40 so i pulled off the interstate and drove back home.over the next couple of days i smelled burnt oil, and the same issue with oil being where it should be happened again.mechanic is telling me it is done, and after researching, this is not something unique to just my car.this is dangerous and people have reported many horrifying stores on the same issue, with some people's fusions combusting and stalling them on the highway.i did notify the ford company today of all the safety issues and other issues related to my car, just so they have it documented on their end as well. I am appalled this car does not have recalls other than the one related to the airbags, which they can not fix yet, posing my passenger at risk.
A wrench is displayed on the dash, and the engine loses power.the power is not restore until the car is turned off.
I have a 2007 ford fusion. The idler pulley bolt has broken 3 times in less than a year. I've read in multiple online forums that once this starts to happen, it continues to happen every few months. I can't sell this car to someone knowing the bolt will break, and i can't continue paying $200 every time it does. I never know where or when it will leave me stranded. This seems like a fairly common issue for the 2007 fusion; just google "2007 ford fusion idler tension pulley". I'm wondering why nothing has been done about the poor engineering and design of this bolt that is obviously inadequate?
Vehicle was missing, thought it was plugs or needed tuneup. Mechanic said 2 coils were burnt outand needed replacement along with plugs. Had two replaced and 6 plugs replaced. The next week same problem, took back to mechanic, said another coil burnt out, checked computer and said dealer would need to look at problem, may be an onboard computer issue called pcm.result:ford dealer dx computer issue,calling for replacement and also all coils and plugs. Total cost of mechanics and dealer...$581 plus 2015= 2596.no problems since, but was warned that this could happen again by dealer, and that this would be warrantied. Not sure if that is true. Dealer would not admit to any problems with other fusions, nor would regional ford customer service rep.will keep car for a year or so and see what happens, most likely trading within the next two years. Dont want that same problem to happen again.
Same vehicle as previous complaint (wrong year selected on previous complaint).the vehicle is a 2007 ford fusion se v6 with six speed automatic.while attempting to merge, another driver was blocking me by speeding to get alongside me while i was on a merge lane. The other driver then matched my speed. I hit the brakes because the fusion will not slow down otherwise. I then hit floored the accelerator to prevent another vehicle from closing the gap, as he was attempting to do. The car did nothing for about 3 seconds even though the accelerator was all the way to the floor. The rpm did not change, the speed did not change and i had to hold the accelerator to the floor hoping that the vehicle would respond before the next car tried to cut me off and i ran out of merge lane.do not call, i will not get any messages.
Had throttle body replaced after multiple stalls at idle.replacement throttle body still stalling engine at idle.fortunate to not have it stall in motion.
I was driving down my side street (25mph residential road) when the engine began to lag.it eventually stalled to where i pulled to the side of the street.vehicle turned off and would not start.it would turnover but would began to idle erratically and would shut off within 5-15 seconds.i tried a few trouble shooting techniques but eventually gave up and took it to an auto shop.they connected the code reader and found 3 different faults with the throttle body assembly.i was told that these are on back order until june 18th.
The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap.the consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment.the seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it.the interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate.the engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.
Loss of power while driving along highway or city street. Car goes into limp mode as you pull to the side of the road, a wrench symbol lights up on the dash. Shut engine off, restart engine and the wrench symbol goes away and the car runs normally. Until the next time, which may be months to years.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the six coil packs, the pcm module and all of the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving various speeds, an abnormal noise was heard coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning indicator illuminated. On three occasions, the idle pulley bolt fractured and needed to be replaced. The failure recurred. Foster ford, inc (311 arizona ave, holton, ks 66436, (785) 364-4646) was notified by phone of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where the technician stated that the central computer needed to be replaced. No repairs were performed. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was134,000 and the current mileage was 134,400.
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
Pcm failed causing vehicle to lose power and burn up ignition coils.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the steering wheel seized and the brakes failed to respond without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the bolt fractured as a result the pulley needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on two occasions but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000. The consumer stated there was a noise coming front he engine. The dealer stated the replaced the idler tensions pulley. However, he continued to experience problems.the consumer went to another dealer, who informed him, the problem would happen again, because the bolts that held the pulley in place, were too small in diameter and would break at some point. As the consumer was backing out of the driveway, he heard a noise then lost power steering and brakes. Updated 11/10/13
The transmission went out approximately november 1st, 2014 after driving on the highway and having the gear slip and not accelerate past 25 mph with high rpms. When attempting to shift into reverse from a stopped position, the car jolts very abruptly as well. The transmission was rebuilt per aamco recommendation. On april 29th, 2015, the transmission went out again with the same issue as before. Aamco stated that the solenoids needed to be replaced. The total cost for repairs has been $2,500 to date.
I was driving at 25mph and the car started revving on its own. I had to slam on the brakes. This happened twice so far. City street. Straight. Both times.
Takatarecallengine goes into limp mode while driving down the interstate.wrench appears and engine does not go above 2500 rpm.shut vehicle off, it runs properly.then it does it again.
Wrench lightflashes on the dashas the car slows to 20 mpr or less, gas pedal to the floor and it wont go. I shut the car off and turn it back on it runs untilit slows down againanother 20-30 miles. This year should've been recalled as the 2009-2012 models.
I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive i was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, i was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about5 min before happening again. I ended up pulling of the road 8 times untili just decided to call aaa and pay additional fees to tow my car into houston. It was scary and def. A safety hazard for anyone experiencing this malfunction. I took the car to get a diagnostic and sure enough it's a throttle body failure. I drove today with no issues, but i am sure it will occur again very soon. Ford really needs to recall and think about their customer's safety.
Went to pass a slow moving vehicle and when gas pedal was pressed the vehicle responded with no power, shuddered, and stalled.had towed to a local trusted mechanic who was unable to diagnose a specific problem because the he was getting "crazy problem codes".vehicle was towed to a ford dealer who discovered the coils were destroyed due to a pcm failure.coils and pcm replaced at the cost of $2,200.driving home after vehicle was "repaired" check engine light came on.took vehicle back to dealership, diagnosed a catalytic converter failure. Catalytic converter failed due to the pcm/coil failure.vehicle will not pass emissions inspection until converter is repaired/replaced at an additional cost of $2,000+.dealership indicated that nothing could have been done to prevent the pcm/coil failed, it "just happened". Basic research shows that this happens with enough frequency that ford must be aware of the problem. Vehicle 2007 ford fusion v6 awd.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the ignition switch was turned to the on position, but the vehicle did not start. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the battery failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but failed to accelerate. The independent mechanic later diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the pulley bolt failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
The idler pulley is causing a bolt to snap in two that's assisting in holding it in place, which prevents the engine belt from rotating and causing the belt to fall off( the belt did not break) making me lose power steering. This is the second time this has happen to me within a months time. This is very dangerous lucky it only happen once while i was driving on my street. The other time it happen i was parked in my driveway and i noticed it when i tried to back out and could not turn my wheel. I am afraid to put my kids into the car because this could happen again while we are out and about. This problem has cost me over $1600 and the dealership still can not give me exact reason to why this keeps happening to me. They had to pull the whole engine out the second time just to get the bolt out.
The contact owns 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that at start-up, the battery warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the serpentine belt detached which caused the power steering to be inoperable. The alternator was also not charging due to the failure. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
My car has a history of lost power/stall during normal driving, it is happening more frequent so i want to file this complain to have some investigation.while accelerating to merge to the highway traffic/speed, the engine lost power and not response to pressing on the gas pedal. My wife had to steer the car back to the shoulder to avoid accident.this car is service by ford dealer under purchased maintenance plan since we bought it new. There was no mention to service the intake/throttle body assembly, which is not serviceable.i understand this car share same platform with ford escape which had a recall on the throttle body assembly last year. I wonder this car mode should be recalled to fix the problem.
No problems driving car and faithful oil changes with full synthetic oil.went to leave one morning and car was knocking like it was low on oil.no engine light on at all.turned off car, oil showed fine.car would not restart.nothing.took to shop and engine has blown.oil pump failure apparently.
Loss of power while driving on the highway. Luckily there was minimal traffic and i was able to get to the emergency lane without being hit or run over by a tractor trailer.
Pcm shorted out the number 4 coil and caught on fire. Coil was on fire when mechanic pulled it out. Have investigated on internet several problems with this but not a recall yet. Cost $800 to fix. Co worker had same thing happen this week on a v6 ford escape.
My son was traveling down road and car completely shut down. Computer and coils shorted out. Thank goodness he was able to move into turning lane.this would have been dangerous if he had been on the interstate.need part number 7u7z12a650dla. Car is currently at dealership in waiting on part. It has been there over 2 weeks.we have been told 1000 fusions are waiting on this part. Ford case number - cas[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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 had purchased my 2007 ford fusion new and had a few oddities during the course of ownership. Within two years of ownership i had a battery short out. At three years i had to have a hefty brake service done because of a clicking noise when the brakes were applied. I noticed at four years that when i would remove the key from the ignition and open the door, the car would chime as if the key was still in it. The dealer had no idea what caused the chiming and it happened sporadically. The biggest issue was in late november of 2011, i was merging on to the highway and going to pass a vehicle; my car began to rev really high, but i was not accelerating that much. I shifted to neutral then back to fifth gear still no accelerating. At that moment the check engine came on and i noticed that the car was dead and costing. After i stopped on the side of the highway, the car would not start at all. Had it towed to the dealer, where they spent two weeks of tearing apart my motor. They determined that a bolt came loose releasing my timing belt destroying my engine. I purchased and extended warranty which saved me $7500 in replacement cost. After two more weeks i had the car back. I noticed belt noise when i started the car and the engine was louder than the original engine. Within a month the car would not start again. The chip in that key went out, and when i took it back to the dealer i complained about the chiming and the belts. They informed me; the key needed to be replaced (costing $300 dollars), my belts were from the original engine and now stretched out needed to be replaced, and the starter was going out. The mystery of the chiming was finally solved. Ford offered me employee pricing on a new car but would not by back my fusion. The dealership offered me nothing. This car was purchased and exclusively serviced there.
While driving on a highway the wrench light illuminated and i experienced an unexpected, sudden loss of engine power and acceleration.the vehicle rapidly decreased in speed from highway speeds to barely being able to maintain speeds of 20mph. Engine power and vehicle speed are severely and rapidly reduced without warning while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are not effected.no sign of the issue the next day, once the car is turned off and back on.this seems to be a widespread and documented problem with the electronic throttle body including an investigation and two separate "customer satisfaction programs" to repair model years 2009-2013. Apparently the same throttle body part is interchangeable from years 206-2009 so likely it could be widespread in these model years.this is incredibly dangerous and needs to be a full recall.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the structural integrity of the vehicle was flawed because the idler pulley bolt fractured internally and caused the vehicle to seize. Also, the battery indicator illuminated and the steering wheel was extremely difficult to turn. When the failure occurred, the vehicle had to be coasted off the road and towed to a repair facility. The mechanic replaced the idler pulley four times and the tension pulley also had to be replaced. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the bolt frayed at the end several times. The dealer was not contacted. The same oem parts were replaced; however, the manufacturer indicated that there was no recall remedy to provide a solution. The pulley well was not functioning concerning the belt and the vehicle remained parked at the contact's residence. The failure mileage was not available.
Driving at 70 mph on the interstate, car suddenly shudders, wrench light comes on. I immediately pulled onto the nearest exit ramp and drove at reduced speed until able to stop. Shut off car, then turned ignition key to check diagnostics. All good? started car, drove maybe 50 ftwhen wrench and emissions lights came on and car went into 'limp' mode.got off of ramp and shut off car for 5 min. Restarted car, emissions light on only, but car was drive-able drove 20 miles @ 60-65mph with no problem until i got home. Outside temp was -5f. Next morning checked car with obd2 diagnostic tool. A 'p2110' code appeared, signifying tac/pcm isssue/s. After checking earlier nhtsa records, this has happened many times!my wife uses the same car, and if what happened to me happened to her, most likely the results would have been fatal!!!is someone dying have to be what will get a recall?please do something.thank you.
Without warning, vehicle jerked, decelerated and slowed to a stop on the highway. Vehicle would not respond to pressing of gas pedal. Had to pull vehicle off to the side of the road. Orange wrench icon appeared. Turned car off and on again and icon disappeared. Not knowing when the vehicle is going to stop accelerating is extremely dangerous. It is only a matter of time before this issue affects someone while they are driving and are unable to safely pull off of the road.
The car never gave any indication of a problem. No check engine light, smoking, not even oil usage for that matter. I checked the oil every time i got gas because i bought it 3 weeks prior. Then was driving to interstate to work when i hear jt startclicking immediately got a oil light then dies and was stuck on interstate cars zoomomg by at 80 if i were in the center lane i would be dead.
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.
While vehicle was in motion on highway, there was a sudden error light flash and then vehicle shut down.motorist was able to pull vehicle to the side of the road.upon mechanic's inspection, it was found that an engine coil was blowing a fuse, causing the vehicle to shut down.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and was towed. It was diagnosed that the power steering failed. While driving 25 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle stalled and was coasted to the side of road. The contact discovered that the fuse was blown from the engine. The vehicle could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs and ignition coil plugs failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was not available.
Very noticeable is the jerking of the car, especially when accelerating.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to have the clutch replaced. While having the repairs completed, the technician fractured a torque mount that connected the engine to the transmission. All the parts were replaced on the vehicle. After the repairs, while driving in the snow and changing lanes, the front passenger side wheel started spinning. As a result, the contact discovered that the torque mount fractured again. The contact heard a knocking noise in the transmission. The vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The torque mount was replaced again. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 72 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate and back fire. The engine was turned off however, the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic informed the contact that the faulty pcm circuit board overheated and caused the four coils to melt. In addition, the catalytic converter was damaged. The vehicle was repaired excluding the replacement of the catalytic converter. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 93,100.updated 11/07/13*lj
I was driving with my fiance when we heard a loud metal snapping sound with a few dinging sounds. Apparently the idler pulley snapped off and bounced around causing me to lose my power steering. It was a good thing i wasn't driving to fast or it wasn't two days later as we were supposed to be driving to fort knox, because it would have been worse with it snapping off like that going 70mph. Had a friend help me get it home where i found the idler pulley with the bolt snapped 3/4 of the way down and the serpentine belt with a few marks on it from where the bolt rubbed against the belt. I've done some research and found out that has been happen for awhile now with other ford fusions. Some said that they had this issue fixed and it happen again. I really think to be a safety issue that ford should fix because it seems to be an issue with either the bolt, the area on the engine block where the bolt sits, or even the tension on the serpentine belt itself causing the bolt to snap off like that.
I was driving to work on december 11, 2013 down rte 3a at approximately 8am.when i took a left onto westford rd., and accelerated up the hill the vehicle suddenly cut out to the point it would not go any further. I almost was hit from a car from behind me who also was accelerating up the hill, but fortunately he swerved around me in time.i called triple aaa and they towed it to palmer''s automotive.according to the mechanic, thediagnostic showed one of the coil packs malfunctioned.. Upon replacement, the coil pack overheated and blew again.finding it odd, the mechanic contacted ford.working with the ford technician, a bulletin was found stating the car had a known issue with the pcm, the computer module for the vehicle.ford told the mechanic, the part would be there in 2 weeks.2 weeks went by and on christmas eve, our mechanic was told there is a national back order on the part and it would be 2 to 4 more weeks.also, the repair would cost in the vicinity of 1700.00 dollars.it is now 1/12/14 and we still have no car and no word on when it will be fixed.ford''s recent ads infuriate me on tv about their reliability etc compared to other brands.the warrantee expired at 80k miles and this car has 84k on it.we are still making payments on a car that is inoperable for the past 6 weeks, as well as facing a huge repair bill, which adds insult to injury.most importantly, i think about what may have happened if i had decided to take the highway instead of rte 3a to work that day, the results may have been tragic.
The idler pulley bolt broke off and pulled the belt off (the belt did not break) making me lose power steering, and of course the battery would not hold a charge. This happened june 8, 2013, june 23, 2013 and again on september 11, 2013. Ford is telling me that there is no problem but the dealer that fixed my car the 1st two times now has it again and has a call into ford to see what the problem could be that it has happened to me 3 times in the past 2 1/2 months. All 3 times i was driving when it happened. The second 2 times it happened i heard a pop almost like i ran something over and immediately lost power steering. It almost has me afraid to put my kids in my car. Unfortunately i only have one car and can't afford a new one.
For the past month i have been experiencing loss of acceleration.my car basically goes into "limp mode" when the problem arises.the car loses all acceleration and can only go about 10mph.the first time i noticed it, i was driving to work and the car started to make a "hiccup" feeling resulting in total loss of acceleration power.almost immediately the wrench icon lights up.the only way to start driving again is to pull over and turn the car off.upon restarting the car the wrench icon is off and seems to drive fine for a little while.since then, i have experienced the problem at least 8 times per week, and the check engine light will come on as well for a few days then disappear.i have noticed that 2010-2013 ford fusions have had a customer satisfaction program assigned by ford for this same problem, providing a 10 year/150,000 mile warranty for the electronic throttle body.why are the earlier models not covered under this same program when they are clearly having the same issues (according to the numerous reports listed on here)??!!
This car had a history of lost power/stall while driving on city and highways without any symptoms nor warnings. My particular concern was last week it lost power/stall while driving on multi-lane eb i-96 from detroit to grand rapids, mi, which we had to perform emergency evasive actions to get out of the busy highway traffic to avoid collision/accident that may result with personal injury or death.it had no symptoms nor warning. The car simple lost power reduce to idle speed at around 600 rpm.it failed to response to cruise control, gas pedal control.mechanic determined that the cause likely the throttle body assembly or the mass airflow switch. Both of them are not serviceable parts and not relate to maintenance, wear or tear.this car had been serviced by ford dealer since we bought it new. No advice or anything was given about this problem.i believe this is a manufacturer defect which has detrimental effect on safety that needs to be investigated.thank you.
Had to replace an ignition coil for a misfire obd code. After replacing coil problem still existed, so i researched online and found a great number of other fusion owners who have had this same problem. Now i am supposed to replace all the ignition coils and the pcm. With the number of affected vehicles being staggering i feel that there needs to be a recall for this issue.
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.....
I was driving at about 60 mph and suddenly i felt the vehicle have some type of loss of power. I tried to press on the gas pedal and the car would not accelerate and the rpm odometer was "jumping" from 1 to 1.5 and the idle was horribly rough.the motor sounded like it was a forced idle. I pulled to the side of the road and opened the hood to see what was going on, i checked everything to see if maybe there was anything loose or something in there and there was nothing that i could see spot on or notice spot on. I did some research on the 'symptoms" and cleaning or forcing shut the throttle actuator was the number one thing that kept showing. So i pulled everything apart and cleaned it and sprayed some wd-40. Once i out everything back together i then started the vehicle and the wrench light turned off and it was running like normal.
My transmission was acting funny and the check engine light had come on earlier in the day but went away. I took my car to ford and was told the check engine light was from the gas cap and they couldn't get the problem with the transmission to duplicate. The car's rpm's stay up around 2000 rpm's on a cold start and the when shifting gears they will go up to around 3 and hold for a long period of time before it shifts. I drove a manual for 12 years and i know that this should not happen with an automatic transmission. I showed the dealer the tsb concerning the rpm issue but they didn't care. I started researching the issue online and have found this is a growing problem. I just wonder how many people haven't made their voices heard or haven't experienced the issue yet. Ford needs to fix this problem with the transmission before it gets some killed.

I have been driving the less in the thirty days after purchasing it and it started making loud squeaking noise, i told the dealer about it and he said it wasn't anything major it does it when you first start the car. It continue to get louder so i had a certified person to check out the noise. When i let him listen to the car, he looked under the hood and noticed that the idler pulley was leaning to the side and that he didn't how know i could drive the car with the idler pulley leaning. I called the dealer right then and explained to him what was going on. He then told me that he couldn't do anything about it because it has no warranty. He suggested that i let someone else to put it on. When i did what he told me the person who checked out the said that it was broken and i needed to take back to the dealership. I had the car towed because i couldn't no longer drive it. The company told me that the person who checked out my car broke it. I pulled up the car fax on the car and found out that the idler pulley broke on the car a year prior before i purchase it. I want the dealership to be responsible for fixing my car.

When driving up a steep hill and rounding a corner, the speed limit dropped from 55 to 45mph. I tapped the brake to disengage the curse control and attempted to control the speed manually. I was not able to get the car to do 45. It oscillated between 50 and 40mph. I finally hit the set button on the cruise control as the speedometer passed 40m. The distraction of trying to control the vehicle could have lead to an accident since i was not able to devote my full attention to the road ahead of me. The vehicle is a 2007 ford fusion se, v6 with 6 speed automatic transmission.
Carwas a 2007 ford fusion with merlot paint. Car wasone week in my possession, and i had a hazing of the clear coat and solvent poppedof the car. I have an appointment for a refinish job. Also ,the car had 1700 miles on it andwas consuming oil. Dealer watched oil consumption,but has yet to correct the problem ontheengine.
When accelerating from 30 mph to 55 mph with the accelerator pedal to the floor, i released the accelerator at about 50 mph. The car continued at full throttle for about 5 more seconds while i moved my foot to the brake and began to attempt to slow the vehicle. The vehicle overshot the intended speed by about 20 mph before it began to slow down to the intended speed of 55 mph. This could have caused a rear end collision if there had been other traffic on the freeway bides the truck tailgating me when i was doing 30 mph. The vehicle is a 2007 ford fusion se, v6 with automatic transmission.
When backing up hill into a parking spot, the car does not obey the commands of the driver. Since there is an excessive delay in the throttle, i end up releasing the accelerator completely when i need to slow down because the car does not slow down right away. The car then goes into a "hold" mode where it prevents the car from rolling forward. Once it is in that mode, it does not respond to the accelerator pedal until about one second after the pedal has reached a level where the rpm of the engine would increase significantly beyond the holding rpm. Due to the delay and lack of response during the first part of the pedal travel, the accelerator is down too far when the car finally releases the "hold" on the throttle and the car goes backward at a much higher rate of speed than desired.the only way i can back up hill safely is to apply the brakes fully with my left foot on the brake pedal, rev the engine up with my right foot on the accelerator pedal and control the speed of the vehicle by partially releasing brake pedal with my left foot while holding the accelerator pedal steady with my right foot. The brakes don't have a delay to them.the vehicle is a 2007 ford fusion se 3.0 liter v6 with 6 speed automatic transmission.
When traveling at about 35 mph with a ford fusion se, v6 and automatic transmission, the engine stalls on hard braking, requiring the vehicle to be brought to a complete stop in the middle of traffic, shifted to park and restarted. Since i was making a lane change before i realized that the engine had stalled, i was across both lanes while i was in park starting the engine. This could have lead to accident, either by not having power to maneuver or another car could have hit my vehicle while it blocked both lanes. The air temperature was just below 10 degrees, but the engine was warm. On restart, the engine idled at 1500 rpm, which makes stopping the vehicle difficult since the engine fights the brakes.
Engine light was on, took to loganville ford they told me my catalytic converter needed to be replaced.i have called and called ford, loganville ford and several ford dealers and get the same answer, that there is no eta on the part due to vendor does not have part.meanwhile bad emissions are being put in the air due to ford.my birthday is coming up and i will not be able to pass emissions.this is a problem and ford refuses to help.i have a case number with ford since 11/12/2013.

Came home from work , went back out to car to go to store noticed left front turn signal bulb was on steady. Changed bulbs stayed on still. Had it checked out said it was the smart junction box. This is a common problem many people are having and something needs to be done to fix it. Ford needs to do a recall and make it right !
During an oil change, the mechanic noticed that the right front turn signal was not working and changed the bulb. When the new bulb didn't work, he checked closer and determined that it was flashing very dimly . The dealer informed us that the smart junction box is the problem and will cost $600 to replace. There was no indication to the driver that a turn signal was not working and it was simply luck that the issue was spotted by an alert mechanic. This is dangerous if the driver thinks he is signaling a turn or lane change when nothing is visible outside the vehicle.
The left front turn signal stopped working. It will light up when the parking lights are on, but will not flash with the turn signal is activated.
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.
The front left turn signal is not working and the vehicle gives no warning of this fact (like when the bulb goes out and the turn signal blinks faster). The bulb and fuse are fine and according to the dealer it is the smart junction box which costs six hundred dollars to replace. My research online indicates that this is a common problem and i fail to see how ford does not consider inoperable turn signals to be anything other than a safety issue. Every turn or four way stop is a safety issue as others drives have no idea which direction we will be traveling.
2007 ford fusion light switch ,with fog light, switch bezel clips are breaking.the whole assembly fell out due to having weak mounting clips.the normal switch that doesn't require you to pull on it to turn on the fog lights probably doesn't have this issue.i use my lights day and night including the fog lights during the day for safety.this could cause wire breaks and possibly an electrical short if a new bezel with stronger mounting clips aren't installed.
The contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. While driving at any speed, the contact noticed that the headlights would not allow her see beyond ten feet. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the vehicle was performing normally. The current and failure mileages were approximately 4,000.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated there was a substantial amount of moisture inside of the rear brake light, which was causing the inner casing to stain. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where she was advised that the failure was a rare occurrence and she should remove the light to clean any moisture from the casing. The contact attempted to remove and clean the casing but was unsuccessful. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 55,000.
The headlights are excessively directional and fail to light the road on low beam. When driving on a road with hills and curves, the headlights do not light the valleys when at the top of the hills and do not light the road sufficiently around corners. If the driver selects high beam, the drivers of oncoming vehicles are blinded, even if driving on a freeway with a wide median when the headlights are pointed across the median while driving around a curve.the only way to see potholes directly in front of the car at night is by turning on the fog lights since the front bumper causes a shadow in front of the vehicle, and the styling of the headlights prevents light from getting to the sides of the vehicle.this is a continuous problem, not a one day event.
This morning, when the temperature was about 5 degrees, the turn signals failed to work for a right turn, then for a left turn. Whenever the temperature is near or below zero, the turn signals fail to work. It is sometimes possible to get them to work by pushing and holding the level, but not even that works at about -10 degrees or colder. The dealer refused to look at it, they just say, "can not duplicate." this is about the fourth time this winter that i have had difficulty getting them to work. The lack of a signal for a lane change and the distraction of trying to get it to work could lead to a collision.
Went to pass a slow moving vehicle and when gas pedal was pressed the vehicle responded with no power, shuddered, and stalled.had towed to a local trusted mechanic who was unable to diagnose a specific problem because the he was getting "crazy problem codes".vehicle was towed to a ford dealer who discovered the coils were destroyed due to a pcm failure.coils and pcm replaced at the cost of $2,200.driving home after vehicle was "repaired" check engine light came on.took vehicle back to dealership, diagnosed a catalytic converter failure. Catalytic converter failed due to the pcm/coil failure.vehicle will not pass emissions inspection until converter is repaired/replaced at an additional cost of $2,000+.dealership indicated that nothing could have been done to prevent the pcm/coil failed, it "just happened". Basic research shows that this happens with enough frequency that ford must be aware of the problem. Vehicle 2007 ford fusion v6 awd.
Doing approx. 55 mph when vehicle suddenly decelerated.coasted into a parking lot.turned car off, waited and restarted it.it ran fine after that but i took it to the ford dealer who said it needed a throttle body replacement at a significant cost to me. Since i was on a highway in traffic at the time of this incident it could have caused an accident.the dealer told me that other vehicles were experiencing the same issue with deceleration.i feel that ford knows about this problem and should issue a recall.
I was driving down my side street (25mph residential road) when the engine began to lag.it eventually stalled to where i pulled to the side of the street.vehicle turned off and would not start.it would turnover but would began to idle erratically and would shut off within 5-15 seconds.i tried a few trouble shooting techniques but eventually gave up and took it to an auto shop.they connected the code reader and found 3 different faults with the throttle body assembly.i was told that these are on back order until june 18th.
Vehicle was missing, thought it was plugs or needed tuneup. Mechanic said 2 coils were burnt outand needed replacement along with plugs. Had two replaced and 6 plugs replaced. The next week same problem, took back to mechanic, said another coil burnt out, checked computer and said dealer would need to look at problem, may be an onboard computer issue called pcm.result:ford dealer dx computer issue,calling for replacement and also all coils and plugs. Total cost of mechanics and dealer...$581 plus 2015= 2596.no problems since, but was warned that this could happen again by dealer, and that this would be warrantied. Not sure if that is true. Dealer would not admit to any problems with other fusions, nor would regional ford customer service rep.will keep car for a year or so and see what happens, most likely trading within the next two years. Dont want that same problem to happen again.
Driving 60-70 mph down an interstate and car loses total acceleration control. You can put the gas to the floor and nothing happens. Rpm doesn't move and no acceleration. Have to coast off the interstate. Thought it was the gas, put new gas in the car. Went to tn on friday had to "coast" over to the shoulder 3 times. Came home yesterday had to pull over 6 times for the same problem. Scary scary scary!!!!! will not drive my car again until the problem is fixed.
I was on the thruway when the car started to stall a green wrench light went on. I pulled over and shut the car off then i stared the car it was fine. The car had 24,000 miles on it. When the car had 33,110 on it i was on the thruway it seemed to stall and lose power. I limped home. I called ford they said i have to bring it in but the green light must be on. To test it. The cars green light came on the car started to stall and lose power so i drove it to the ford dealership. The car lost power it will go 21 mph. It has 33,226 miles on it. The dealership said no recall on it and no customer satisfaction program. So i was told to drive it home yes drive it home and come back in two days.
Travelling on highway at steady cruising speed. Road was flat and straight. Throttle body failed suddenly and left me without any acceleration ability. Had to pull off to side of a major highway without responsive gas pedal and car decelerating quickly.
Going down the road at speed, car makes noise then losses ability to accelerate, wrench warning light comes on. Very dangerous to have happen on busy street. Pull over, turn motor off, restart the car and no wrench light, car can go without problem.has happened on several occasions.
Air bag on dash board is on. My gears won't switch how they used to. It takes a very long time for me to get the gear on drive mode. Stepping on the gas break to move gear, it also doesn't help.
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.
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.
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.
Passenger side airbag is bulging up on one side.i park in a garage and i'm in wi so we don't get extreme heat, so i'm not sure why i'm having a issue.it's either an airbag issue or a dashboard issue.my passenger side airbag light appears to be working fine...it only goes on with a passenger or when my purse gets too heavy and its on the seat.also, my accelerator petal makes a weird static-sounding noise when it's at a certain position.it has nothing to do with speed, it happens at various speeds, so it's only when the petal is held in the same spot which is about halfway down to the floor.if i press the petal down beyond this spot or raise my foot so the petal is above that spot, the noise stops...only to return again when the petal eventually lands back in that problematic spot (about halfway down).
Driving along a four lane highway at approximately 60mph when suddenly the vehicle stopped accelerating, i had to put it in neutral, letting it coast, turn the engine off and quickly back on. It allowed me to continue normally after that. However this problem has been occurring intermittently ever since. When it gets really bad, it will repeat the problem anywhere from 5-10 minutes after i turn it and back on and the traction control and maintenance lights will come on. After awhile the check engine light will come and stay on for a couple of days. Had a diagnostics run on it while the check engine light was on and it indicated that the throttle control system was malfunctioning. Ford wants over $600 for parts and labor to fix the problem which i think is ridiculous considering how many others are having the same problem. Will be contacting the regional sales manager regarding this.
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?
Lost power while trying to pass a carhad no throttle and almost had a head on collision got got home had a air injection code p0491 in the system. Found a bad air injection pump loaded with water replaced the air pump and the problem is solved i see ford has a lot of issues with water getting into these pumps but refuses to do anything about it.contacted ford with no response. I worked in ford dealerships for over 25 years so i know how to diagnose these problems. I am not concerned about the money for fixing this problem i just feel the issue should be corrected before someone gets hurt or killed.

Door handle driver side gas tank air bags recallbut no door handle
We purchased our 2007 ford fusion used, recently.we have noticed that, whenever we open the door, the interior dome light goes on, as expected.however, it stays on for at least 20 minutes (while we are driving too).it is quite annoying (and illegal, i understand) to be driving in the dark with the interior light on.we have tried to open the interior dome light cover, but cannot.since there is no warranty on the vehicle, please advise if this is normal for this make.
2007 ford fusion light switch ,with fog light, switch bezel clips are breaking.the whole assembly fell out due to having weak mounting clips.the normal switch that doesn't require you to pull on it to turn on the fog lights probably doesn't have this issue.i use my lights day and night including the fog lights during the day for safety.this could cause wire breaks and possibly an electrical short if a new bezel with stronger mounting clips aren't installed.

Interior door latch (driver's door) fails to open.i cannot get out of my car without rolling down the window and opening the door from the outside. Also door will not lock when car is locked.i have read several complaints on this nhtsa site and other forums with numerous other people who are experiencing the same problem with their ford fusion. Please investigate this issue and initiate arecall if warranted on the interior door latches of the ford fusion. This is indeed a safety concern - especially if someone must get out of the car quickly - also lock failure could be serious security problem.
Interior door handle stopped working. Can no longer open the driver side door from the interior.

I have checked online, and this seems to be a common complaint for owners of the ford fusion se 2007. There definitely needs to be a recall. This just happened out of the blue. Please assist.

My fear is that in the event of a crash the door will fly open or that my vehicle will be broken into as the door no longer locks.
While l was driving on wet pavement with the speed control engaged and set to 35 mph, i rounded the top of a hill and the vehicle began to speed up as usual. I applied the brakes lightly to maintain 35 mph and the speed control failed to disengage and spun the left front tire until black smoke was rolling out from under the fender. It lasted a few seconds before it released. I had a ford dealer check the brakes to see if the left front caliper had a problem and they did not find a problem. They also had no solution for the speed control failing to disengage.note: the daytime phone is useless since i am assigned to another building at work away from the phone on my desk.updated 01/28/14*lji contacted ford once again after the third throttle problem. The third time involved the speed control burning rubber on a wet road after i applied the brakes to maintain speed going down hill with the speed control set for 35. Their response was to ignore the problem as usual. They didn't do anythingfor any of my complaints even when the car was under warranty. The dealer would not ever replace a broken plastic door handle in the inside until it broke off completely. After they replace it with another plastic handle the spring cut through the plastic again, but i realized that the piece of plastic the broke off was still in the recessed area for the handle and would have caused it to break off completely again if i had not removed it. The chrome also pealed off and cut my fingers again so i scraped it off the top of the handle. They still haven't changed the design of that. For over $21,000 that i paid for the car, they could have at least made one out of aluminum.
2007 ford fusion se -safety issue!! interiordoor latch problem (driver' door) i cannot get out of my ford fusion without rolling down the window and opening the door from the outside.**this is a safety concern!!**i have read several online ford fusion forums and found there are many many other people who are experiencing the exact same problem with their ford fusion. *can you please issue a 'recall' on the interior door latches of the 2007 ford fusion se*** this is indeed a safety concern, especially if someone must get out of the car quickly. Thank you. Vehicle identification number: [xxx]mileage: 50400information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact noticed that the spring was broken on the driver side door panel, causing the hook to fall down. When entering the vehicle, the contact would need to turn the latch upward in order to close the door. The dealer was notified who advised the contact that he would need to replace the latch. The manufacturer was contacted who informed the contact that there were no recalls and to file a complaint with nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 48,000. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.
My 2007 ford fusion was purchased in 2011 and was financed, and i paid it off in december 2017. It since then only it has a 144,00 miles. It was purchased withlower mileage, of an estimation of 40,000 to 50,000 miles on it at final salemeaning it was a 2007 car, purchased in 2011, so that's a problem when before it had been paid off, and major problems of many. I would like a refund of a lesser equal to or equal value to my purchased car price from manufacture or dealership. The two recalls issued that i have not taken care of yet, and other problems with cheap made inside door handles broke easily, being hard plastic/metal, this makes getting out of my vehicle a major safety issues along with the other issues of airbags and brakes and other safety issues.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the driver side door latch fractured. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rod in the door failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on back order. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Car jolted then went in to like a first gear with high rpm. All gauges went to zero and all dashboard things stopped, including radio. Put in neutral, all gauges returned to normal and all lights functioned. Put back in drive and the same issuer with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so i could use hazard lights but then the entire car shut down. Had to tow to a dealership where the are telling me the throttle body has failed and needs replaced.
Loss of power, car would not go, stuck in busy traffic, shifts very hard transmission slipping. This has happened about tree or four times now. Called dealer they say they are unaware of problem, but it is all over the internet everyone having problems. Took it in but cost me 400 because of course it is out of warranty.reprogrammed my transmission but now shifts at a higher rpm causing lower fuel mileage. They are having problems with the throttle bodies going bad because this was a collaboration with mazda. Very expensive repair. No way these should be going bad at 70k. They need to replace transmissions at their cost.
Very noticeable is the jerking of the car, especially when accelerating.
My issue is what many people have already complained about - the shifting is extremely rough, to the point it's now undrivable and unsafe. The 'wrench' light and check engine light have just come on, although the slipping of gears has gone on for quite a while. This seems to be a very common issue. Most people can't afford to spend $3-4k to get the transmission rebuilt.
While driving on the highway the engine started to run rough and within a minute the engine quit and couldn't be restarted. Luckily i was able to coast to the side of the highway.the engine had the same fault as identified in nhtsa tsb-13-4-17. The pcm unit failed, causing damage to multiple on-plug ignition coils. I believe that the ford tsb # for this problem is 06-18-15. This is a 6-cylinder engine. I believe this is a safety issue because of the sudden and complete onset of loss of power.
For the past month i have been experiencing loss of acceleration.my car basically goes into "limp mode" when the problem arises.the car loses all acceleration and can only go about 10mph.the first time i noticed it, i was driving to work and the car started to make a "hiccup" feeling resulting in total loss of acceleration power.almost immediately the wrench icon lights up.the only way to start driving again is to pull over and turn the car off.upon restarting the car the wrench icon is off and seems to drive fine for a little while.since then, i have experienced the problem at least 8 times per week, and the check engine light will come on as well for a few days then disappear.i have noticed that 2010-2013 ford fusions have had a customer satisfaction program assigned by ford for this same problem, providing a 10 year/150,000 mile warranty for the electronic throttle body.why are the earlier models not covered under this same program when they are clearly having the same issues (according to the numerous reports listed on here)??!!
Purchased the car in 02/07, in 12/08 crankshaft pulley failed, 2009 fuel injection pump failed, 02/2013 t-stat and cv joint failed.06/26/13, transmission failed.torque converter, pump, and seal all failed in the car 204 miles after warranty expired.gear slippage, and complete transmission failure is a major issue on this car, and there are many complaints regarding this issue.many complaints of transmission failures, replacements, or rebuilds on cars with as little as 36000 and up.
My car stopped shifting gears on me and the warning light did not come on i took it to differentmechanics and they said my transmission was going out and my car is to new for the transmission to be going out.
While i was driving on a dry, paved road, the check engine light activated while passing and the vehicle's rpms fluctuated between 500 and 2000 with barely any engine power.vehicle was pulled over, turned off, turned back on again, and appeared to resume normal operation.vehicle was towed to a mechanic and through testing they identified the powertrain control module had melted several engine coils and spark plugs.before replacing the module, all new spark plugs and engine coils were added and the car was started up.it exhibited the same behavior before the coils and plugs were replaced, and for the brief time it was actually on, it melted another new coil.tsb for the 07 fusion was confirmed and the pcm was replaced along with all new coils.pcm was taken to the ford dealer for reprogramming.replacement and reprogramming of pcm and all 6 coils and spark plugs fixed the issue.vehicle has 84k miles on it and should not have this safety issue.
This car had a history of lost power/stall while driving on city and highways without any symptoms nor warnings. My particular concern was last week it lost power/stall while driving on multi-lane eb i-96 from detroit to grand rapids, mi, which we had to perform emergency evasive actions to get out of the busy highway traffic to avoid collision/accident that may result with personal injury or death.it had no symptoms nor warning. The car simple lost power reduce to idle speed at around 600 rpm.it failed to response to cruise control, gas pedal control.mechanic determined that the cause likely the throttle body assembly or the mass airflow switch. Both of them are not serviceable parts and not relate to maintenance, wear or tear.this car had been serviced by ford dealer since we bought it new. No advice or anything was given about this problem.i believe this is a manufacturer defect which has detrimental effect on safety that needs to be investigated.thank you.
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.
Driving on highway at about 65 miles per hour, car stopped accelerating and when pressed the gas pedal car actually continued to slow down.also has started to not accelerate from a stopped position.have almost been hit from behind as i was not able to accelerate.
On feb 19 2014 at 8:30 as i parked my 2007 ford fusion in my driveway i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. I noticed my steering wheel would not lock. Made sure the vehicle was in park and still the key would not turn all the way back so that the wheel could lock and key could be removed.i looked online to see hundreds of same problem with key getting stuck. And most of them had to do with gear shift silver button not releasing to let key turn all the way. Seeing these many same problem should warrant a recall to this problem.
I have owned my ford fusion sel v6 since june of 2009.in may of 2011 my ac went out within minutes of being used.i had stopped at my house for a minute in between errands and the ac worked when i turned the car off.when i got back in to leave again the ac would not work.a few weeks after that, my driver side inside door handle broke and i am no longer able to open the door from the inside.now in may 2013, my passenger side door handle is broken the same as the driver side and the two back door locks have to be locked from inside because they don't work from the remote.i have also been experiencing a loud humming sound that sounds like the tires.however, after having the car looked at, i have been told that it is a problem with my transmission (not my tires at all)i see here where many of these issues have been reported but nothing is being done about any of these issues by ford.this is the first ford i have owned and it is going to be the last.i am looking at getting a different car asap.
My car rolls back on a slight slope after i take my foot off of the brake. I was waiting to pull out onto the road. Why does it matter how many miles are on the care.if my car rolls back and hits a car it shouldnt matter how many miles are on the vehicle.if i was in an accident due to this problem i would fall back onto ford motor company.
My car has a history of lost power/stall during normal driving, it is happening more frequent so i want to file this complain to have some investigation.while accelerating to merge to the highway traffic/speed, the engine lost power and not response to pressing on the gas pedal. My wife had to steer the car back to the shoulder to avoid accident.this car is service by ford dealer under purchased maintenance plan since we bought it new. There was no mention to service the intake/throttle body assembly, which is not serviceable.i understand this car share same platform with ford escape which had a recall on the throttle body assembly last year. I wonder this car mode should be recalled to fix the problem.
Several times over the past 3 years my 2007 ford fusion se v6 would suddenly lose power.engine would remain running but vehicle would not accelerate.wrench light and engine light would illuminate when this occurs.solution is to pull over and shut car completely off for 30 seconds and restart.sometimes this would work for a few minutes or several 1000 miles before repeating again.i have had the car into the ford dealer multiple times and they keep telling me they can not duplicate the problem. I have found 1000's of complaints online with the same issues for what appears to be a known issue at ford with the throttle body assembly.i returned to the dealer with all of this information and was told the throttle body assembly would take weeks to get and that the replacement part is the exact oem part which has the same defect.ford wants me to pay to replace a defective part with a defective part. The engine suddenly losing power is extremely dangerous if in high speed traffic the risk of a crash is even more of a concern. Why is ford not fixing this issue on a recall?this is going to get people killed!
Vehicle is a daily drive, experienced tsb 13-4-17, pcm failure causing the ignition coils to burn out on cylinder 4. Vehicle was towed to ford dealership, where vehicle was repaired, at a cost of over $2000. Immediately after the vehicle had a howl and vibration, vehicle was taken to a local mechanic and diagnosed as a transfer case (ptu) failure, this was a few days after leaving the ford dealership. My local mechanic replaced the ptu at a cost of $1000. Vehicle was fine from november 2013 till just this past week march 6 2014 where a leak of gear oil was found in the driveway, car was brought to local ford dealership which confirmed a leak of the seal on the transfer case (ptu). Vehicle has been brought to local mechanic that made the repair. I find it unbelievable that since this vehicle has hit 100k miles that it is in need of constant repair. I have owned many fords and have never had an issue like this. After much research i have found that these are common problems!! ford needs to do something about this!! they claim to have reliable vehicles but this is not reliable, especially since i bought this car as a certified pre-owned from a ford dealership in july of 2010 i only got 3 good years out of this vehicle. Its a shame cause its such a beautiful car and now i have nothing but mechanical issues.
Car jolted while cruising at 70 mph on the interstate, then went in to like a first gear and high rpm.all the dashboard gauges, lights and radio went off. Put in neutral and everything came back on and functioned. Put back in drive and the same issue with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so i could use my flashers and after coasting for a little bit the entire car shut down and would not come back on. Had to tow to a nearby dealership (54 miles away) where they are telling me the throttle body has failed and needs replaced.
The car never gave any indication of a problem. No check engine light, smoking, not even oil usage for that matter. I checked the oil every time i got gas because i bought it 3 weeks prior. Then was driving to interstate to work when i hear jt startclicking immediately got a oil light then dies and was stuck on interstate cars zoomomg by at 80 if i were in the center lane i would be dead.
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 contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 72 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate and back fire. The engine was turned off however, the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic informed the contact that the faulty pcm circuit board overheated and caused the four coils to melt. In addition, the catalytic converter was damaged. The vehicle was repaired excluding the replacement of the catalytic converter. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 93,100.updated 11/07/13*lj
On june 1st my wife was on i-20 west of ruston, la traveling to monroe, la. The car suddenly lost power and had no response on the accelerator. She coasted to an exit and pulled over. The engine wrench light was on. She turned the car off and called me to come help.when i got there the car started and i drove it home without incident. I have since taken the car in to jim taylor ford and was told the code indicated the problem came from the throttle body and it may have to be replaced. It has not happened again but i was told that other fusions have had the same problem and some of the owners have elected to replace the throttle for safety. This could be a major problem in traffic if and when it a happens again. Something is faulty and ford should fix this problem.
I was driving at about 60 mph and suddenly i felt the vehicle have some type of loss of power. I tried to press on the gas pedal and the car would not accelerate and the rpm odometer was "jumping" from 1 to 1.5 and the idle was horribly rough.the motor sounded like it was a forced idle. I pulled to the side of the road and opened the hood to see what was going on, i checked everything to see if maybe there was anything loose or something in there and there was nothing that i could see spot on or notice spot on. I did some research on the 'symptoms" and cleaning or forcing shut the throttle actuator was the number one thing that kept showing. So i pulled everything apart and cleaned it and sprayed some wd-40. Once i out everything back together i then started the vehicle and the wrench light turned off and it was running like normal.
I purchased this car used approximately a month ago. While driving at lower speeds, around 30-40 mph the transmission will not shift out properly. Gears get stuck at 40 mph and car will not accelerate in traffic. This is an extreme safety hazard and liability. Engine light has not come on for this issue either. Ford needs to recall these vehicles and replace the transmissions before a death occurs and/or major lawsuits filed.
When speeding up to pass someone on the highway the car revved up to almost 6k rpm and jerked violently into the next gear.the wrench light came on shortly after and the car was parked. The next morning the light was off until a short trip to the mechanic for diagnosis.the mechanic diagnosed the car and got 2 error codes.both showing transmission failure.
While passing another car my car lost power.i pressed the accelerator to the floor and nothing happen.i was almost hit head on by another on coming car. My certified ford mechanic said it may be my throttle and i shouldreplace it but he could not guarantee this would solve my problem. He said i was one many to have this problem with the 2007 ford fusion.
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?
Had throttle body replaced after multiple stalls at idle.replacement throttle body still stalling engine at idle.fortunate to not have it stall in motion.
Had to replace an ignition coil for a misfire obd code. After replacing coil problem still existed, so i researched online and found a great number of other fusion owners who have had this same problem. Now i am supposed to replace all the ignition coils and the pcm. With the number of affected vehicles being staggering i feel that there needs to be a recall for this issue.
My transmission was acting funny and the check engine light had come on earlier in the day but went away. I took my car to ford and was told the check engine light was from the gas cap and they couldn't get the problem with the transmission to duplicate. The car's rpm's stay up around 2000 rpm's on a cold start and the when shifting gears they will go up to around 3 and hold for a long period of time before it shifts. I drove a manual for 12 years and i know that this should not happen with an automatic transmission. I showed the dealer the tsb concerning the rpm issue but they didn't care. I started researching the issue online and have found this is a growing problem. I just wonder how many people haven't made their voices heard or haven't experienced the issue yet. Ford needs to fix this problem with the transmission before it gets some killed.
Was driving all of a sudden car made a bang would not move forward had it towed to local garage was diagnosed that the power train unit went had it towed to transmission place while taking it apart they diagnosed that the gasket was the cooperate of it cost me $2200 due to fords faulty gaskets have noticed that there tons of complaints against ford ford this;. Also my sister has a 2010 same thing happen to her with only 57000 miles on vehicle ford should recall this there no reason for this happen tons of people take suburu off road and they don't have their drive trains go will never by ford again.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. After starting the engine, the gear shifter would not switch from the park position. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
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
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.
Transmission will not shift , was in motion
Throttle body issue - confirmed since i just spent $930.00 at the ford dealership to replace.wife got in car at mall.first car would not start loose contact on terminal.she called me i jiggled wire, car started but you could push the pedal all the way down and only very slight power (wrench light on...).she parked the car as it would only go about 3 miles an hour and i turned it off and restarted the car to see if it would drive and it would not.had to get it towed to planet ford dealership who replaced the throttle body.the exact same issue had happened one week earlier but when i turned the car off and restarted the engine it ran fine.i had a mechanic do the codes the first time and it was throttle body and the ford dealership did it the second time.
Hard shifting everywhere and all the time..was letting foot off gas during shift to lessen the hard banging shift, but now that does not work .. Now unable to drive. See web site of others with same issue..if ford attempts to fix it...its just that an attempt. I am sick of this car..this is the biggest issue not the only one. Please make them fix this!!! norm folks can't pay 3-4k to buy a new transmission. -https://repairpal.com/harsh-or-dalayed-shifting-of-automatic-transmission-727
Several (all wheel drive )awd ford vehicles ex. Fusion, edge, taurus use a(power transfer unit) ptu that fmoc call for no service needed, no drainplug only a fill port. The ptu is a basically a transfer case that small ford ford awd vehicles use to transfer engine power from the transmission to the rear wheels. The part is connected to the transmission surrounded by the engine, exhaust and catalytic converter, the ptu only hold a quart of lubricating fluid no cooling no service interval and all of the heat surrounding the unit bakes the lubrication causing lack of lubrication causing ptu and transmission failure. Repair quote from a ford dealership on 1/29/2020 with a ford remanufactured transmission and labor is $5000.00 repair. This unit failure is in a 2007 fusion with 92k miles other than the powertrain issue is asolid vehicle that perform great until the ptu and transmission failure with no warning. While driving at highway speeds the vehicle wheels locked up skidding the car to a stop and stalling the engine.now it cracks and pops and locks up the wheels.
The transmission went out approximately november 1st, 2014 after driving on the highway and having the gear slip and not accelerate past 25 mph with high rpms. When attempting to shift into reverse from a stopped position, the car jolts very abruptly as well. The transmission was rebuilt per aamco recommendation. On april 29th, 2015, the transmission went out again with the same issue as before. Aamco stated that the solenoids needed to be replaced. The total cost for repairs has been $2,500 to date.
While driving on a highway the wrench light illuminated and i experienced an unexpected, sudden loss of engine power and acceleration.the vehicle rapidly decreased in speed from highway speeds to barely being able to maintain speeds of 20mph. Engine power and vehicle speed are severely and rapidly reduced without warning while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are not effected.no sign of the issue the next day, once the car is turned off and back on.this seems to be a widespread and documented problem with the electronic throttle body including an investigation and two separate "customer satisfaction programs" to repair model years 2009-2013. Apparently the same throttle body part is interchangeable from years 206-2009 so likely it could be widespread in these model years.this is incredibly dangerous and needs to be a full recall.
When accelerating from a stop light, my car slightly lost power and the transmission light came on.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to have the clutch replaced. While having the repairs completed, the technician fractured a torque mount that connected the engine to the transmission. All the parts were replaced on the vehicle. After the repairs, while driving in the snow and changing lanes, the front passenger side wheel started spinning. As a result, the contact discovered that the torque mount fractured again. The contact heard a knocking noise in the transmission. The vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The torque mount was replaced again. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
In 2010 the pcm in our 2007 ford fusion went out and was replaced at a cost of approximately $1,300. Three years later while my wife and daughter was driving a very busy road, the lights on the dash board begin to light up which caused her to pull into a parking lot. Thankfully she noticed the blinking lights on the dash otherwise my family could've been hurt pretty bad in a car accident. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership to find out days later that once again the pcm had died and need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $3,000. Ford states the recall that was issued in 2007 was completed on the vehicle, however after reading the numerous complaints online, there needs to be another recall issued before several deaths occur due to this serious issue. The cost of the pair is ridiculous along with the amount of time that's required to wait on the part, which is two weeks. I'm asking that nhtsa to please recall ford's vehicles for this recurring issue and going forward require ford motor company to at minimum check the coils on their vehicles around 75,000 miles for potential pcm issues, it could save several lives.
Upon driving the speed became erratic and the car slowed down very quickly requiring me to pullover quickly for fear of a rear end collision. At that time i saw the wrench light on my dash. I feel that is a hazard that should be corrected under the warranty or as a recall from ford company.the wait for parts is almost a month, ford should give a loaner car as i am afraid to drive my car in traffic.thank you
After an engine light came on, i took my car to have the code read. The code that appeared was for the throttle body. After doing some research, i discovered that there was a recall for the throttle body for the ford fusion from 2009 -2012. My car was not included in the recall, but my throttle body according to the dealership is "erratic". I feel that the recall on the throttle body may need to be reexamined as my car, only two years older than those being recalled, is having the same issue. The part should not go bad that quickly. The car has less than 100,000 miles.
The vehicle response to the accelerator is unpredictable and always delayed. Sometimes the car will interpret a small quick depression of the accelerator the same as flooring the accelerator. There is always a delay of two to three seconds before it responds at all. The same action can result in widely varying responses of the engine and transmission, apparently depending on the temperature of the air and engine. The accelerator is very touchy and seems to use only a small portion of the movement. That coupled with the transmission constantly shifting to set the engine speed at near idle in all but freeway driving makes manually controlling the speed within 5 miles per hour when near a shift point almost impossible. The constant shifting and refusal to slow down when the accelerator is released makes it impossible to manually control the speed of the vehicle accurately on hilly roads. This is a continuous problem, not a one day event.
Se v6 transmission.when pulling into a driveway to get rid of a tailgater in the city, i brought the car to a complete stop, then shifted the car into reverse after the other car had passed. I took my foot off the brake and put it on the accelerator, but got no response from the vehicle. Ithought it had obeyed my command and shifted into reverse before i released the brake. The vehicle rolled backwards for about three seconds before the transmission actually shifted into reverse. This resulted in a loud bang since the car was already moving backwards at a couple miles per hour. This could have resulted in transmission damage.

At approx. 85k miles on my 2007 ford fusion, there was a noticeable issue in the front end. Thought it may have been some slight damage to the front a end a while back and had a half axle replaced at 88k miles. No change since and have had many components looked at. Today, ford tells me there are several codes in the computer related to transmission problems. No indicator light has ever come on to let me know i have been driving with a bad transmission. Many people on the ford fusion forum (fordfusion.net) had reported the same issue in models from 2006 through 2010. Ford bares responsibility for this issue and have swept it under the rug. Letting people drive around with a bad transmission, the computer never letting people know an issue exists is serious problem and safety issue.. Last time i ever buy american.
A wrench is displayed on the dash, and the engine loses power.the power is not restore until the car is turned off.
I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive i was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, i was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about5 min before happening again. I ended up pulling of the road 8 times untili just decided to call aaa and pay additional fees to tow my car into houston. It was scary and def. A safety hazard for anyone experiencing this malfunction. I took the car to get a diagnostic and sure enough it's a throttle body failure. I drove today with no issues, but i am sure it will occur again very soon. Ford really needs to recall and think about their customer's safety.
Transmission slips in and out of gear. Jerks voilently into pass gear. Slips into neutral and just revs at highway speeds. Coming down a hill it lurched forward almost sending my wife and i off a cliff. Very dangerous. Its also a common problem im finding with the awf21 trannsmissions. Should be recalled before someone dies. Numerous reports of these trannys failing over the internet with the exact same symptoms. Please help.
Drive shaft carrier bearings went out. Common problem with this type of vehicle. Have to replace drive shaft entirely! cost of about 900 dollars.
I have a 2007 ford fusion with 56,000 miles on it that is now on its deathbed due to faulty ignition coils and pcm. Why is this not a recall? it seems to be a very common problem with the 2007 ford fusion
I was driving using cruise control today going 60 mph on a highway with my 2007 ford fusion. All of a sudden, i felt the car jolt. I pressed the gas, but nothing happened as if the car was in neutral. I had to coast to the side of the road. I noticed that the warning light in the shape of a wrench was on. I turned off the car. When i turned it back on, the light was off and the car worked just fine. I looked up the description of the light in the owner's manual and it said it was related to a fault in the powertrain or throttle. I saw where several people have reported this exact problem with 2010 models of the fusion. I just had to report that it happened on my 2007 model as well. I will be taking it in to get looked at. This is very dangerous. I could have wrecked or caused an accident because i could not control the speed of my car at the time. Someone will be killed if this problem is not resolved and a recall issued. I was really scared. There needs to be a recall. I will not be using cruise control until i am confident that my car is completely fixed.
The shifting knob and the link rod to the transmission came out preventing the shift lever from changing the transmission gears as desired. I found if i push the unit back in the hole and hold a downward pressure on the knob it will operate. However if you touch the knob while driving, the transmission will shift into low range causing a jerk to slow down the vehicle. This is pertinently bad on snow covered surfaces. I found there is a recall on 2017 fusion for this exact problem the recall number is 17s36. Saying this situation may resolve in a injury or an accident. I called ford recall at i-800-392-3673 and was told i have no claim for repair and the recall is for the 2017 only.will you please help me with this matter? i would think safety first should prevail.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2007 ford fusion was purchased in 2011 and was financed, and i paid it off in december 2017. It since then only it has a 144,00 miles. It was purchased withlower mileage, of an estimation of 40,000 to 50,000 miles on it at final salemeaning it was a 2007 car, purchased in 2011, so that's a problem when before it had been paid off, and major problems of many. I would like a refund of a lesser equal to or equal value to my purchased car price from manufacture or dealership. The two recalls issued that i have not taken care of yet, and other problems with cheap made inside door handles broke easily, being hard plastic/metal, this makes getting out of my vehicle a major safety issues along with the other issues of airbags and brakes and other safety issues.
I bought my 2007 fusion at end of march.since then i have noticed on a daily basis that when i am at a complete stop and try to start the accelerator is very touchy.i peel out almost 75 percent of the time.the gas pedal shouldn't be that hesitant or touchy.i am afraid to change my own oil which i have done all my life.i am afraid of driving right off the ramps.i am very afraid of merging into traffic at stop signs.especially this next year for the winter season.i had a few instances at the end of the snow season i couldn't even get going in my own driveway because of the over power. I would just spin out with the instant over acceleration. Also at stop signs that were snow covered. (that has never happened with any other vehicles i have owned.)also the acceleration of trying to pass someone there is a major hesitation to switching from overdrive to drive and back again.
On october 1, 2010 i was driving my 2007 ford fusion that ibought new in november 2007. When i came to a stop sign and tried to take off the transmission light and the wrench light came on. From then on the these lights always appear while driving. Also, the messaging center reads "odometer data error" and the speedometer is no long functioning properly. The car do not shift properly. The rpm was very high every time that the car try to change gears. I took the car to the dealership were i purchased it on numerous occasions before this happened because the car would stale when taken off and sometimes it would just shut down. Every time i took it back i was told that there weren't anything wrong with the car. Now that the warranty is expired i was then told that the transmission speed sensor and the main wire component needed to be replaced.
I have an 07 ford fusion, i am the original owner and bought the car with zero miles in 06. Recently my transmission started slippingand i noticed that the rpm's go up so high then you feel like an impact which is when the car changes gears. I almost got rear-ended due to this problem. After doing some research online i have noticed that many ford owners have the same problem. I have called ford and they say my car is out of warranty so their is nothing they could do. I also think this problem is causing my back to hurt i noticed that after this occurs with my car i get pain in my back like if it was whip lash.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle exhibited an abnormal popping noise as the transmission began shifting hard, causing an unusual increase in engine rpms. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. Later, the contact was driving under 40 mph when the vehicle would not shift between gears. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who informed the contact that the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 91,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving approximately 30 mph, the transmission began to shift gears violently with hesitation. The vehicle was maneuvered into aparking lot. The vehicle was then driven to the residence cautiously at the reduced speed rate of 5 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the transmission was replaced. There was a technical service bulletin under nhtsa item number 10023866 (power train:automatic transmission:control module tcm, pcm). The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 59,570.... Updated 07/19/12the consumer stated the vehicle would not go into reverse. The consumer stated the vehicle shifted hard from 1st to 2nd gear. Once he reached a high speed, the transmission shifted very violently, when it was trying to shift to the next gear. The consumer was informed the valve train body located inside of the transmission needed to be replaced at acost of $ 1,460. Updated 01/02/12
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact was driving 35 mph when the automatic transmission exhibited an unusual noise and then kicked into gear, causing the vehicle to independently decelerate. The contact was unable to get the vehicle back into gear and the power train warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic shop who advised the contact that the transmission control valve body had worn out and the transmission would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact to have an authorized dealer repair the transmission at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
While traveling from canyon to norris in yellowstone national park, i attempted to control the speed of the vehicle manually while climbing a steep hill, but found it impossible. The desired speed was 45, which is the maximum speed in yellowstone. The throttle has a delay of about one second, so it is continually 1 second behind the commands of the driver. The result is that the vehicle always overshoots the speed because the driver first expects a response from the vehicle, but gets none and continues to push the accelerator pedal farther down. When the vehicle reaches the desired speed, the driver lets up on the accelerator, but the vehicle continues to accelerate according to the command 1 second ago. The driver then continues to let up on the pedal because the vehicle has not yet responded to the command to reduce rpm. The transmission shifts up when the driver lets off the accelerator. The vehicle then undershoots the desired speed and the driver pushes the accelerator down again. The vehicle again delays its response and the transmission adds an additional delay of about 2 seconds. The next overshoot is worse. This oscillation continues until the driver gets frustrated and sets the speed control. The speed control still fails to maintain speed when the grade changes rapidly, but the slow down is much less and it recovers in a couple seconds and maintains speed the rest of the way up the hill. The driver then has to ride the brakes on the way down the other side of the hill in order to maintain speed, which releases the speed control. The driver then has to set the speed control when the vehicle reaches the level again. If the driver lets the vehicle continue to accelerate down the hill, the transmission will eventually downshift at about 48 miles per hour, but continues to slowly accelerate. Continually trying to correct for the lack of control of speed results in an excessive distraction and continually takes the eyes of the driver off the road.
Took 2007 ford fusion in under warranty three times stating it was shifting hard, rpms were high and that felt there was a problem with the transmission.after being dismissed each time the warranty lapsed and the car lost the transmission in the middle of the freeway.as this was a reported problem on my service records, tried to get ford to cover their product and show customer loyalty with no avail.lucky to be able to get out of the middle of the freeway when the car had no acceleration or power behind it.started taking vehicle in june 2009, then dec 2009 and lastly in feb 2010.after being dismissed 3 times i continued normal driving conditions since the car was deemed to be "normal" now it does not have 2nd or 4th gear.
Unable to remove key from ignition. Shift lever button will not fully extend to allow the selector to go into proper position so that the key can be moved.i have pushed and let it snap back out and have been able to get it out once or twice but now stays in most of the time.this has just started on this 2007 fusion with in last 7 days.

The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the key would not release from the ignition switch which caused the vehicle to shift gears and roll down the driveway although it was in park. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the shifter assembly needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000. The current mileage was approximately 63,010.
I have a 2007 ford fusion se awd which i purchased new from ford. The problem started with he transfer case which went and had to be replaced because it was out of the 3 year 36k warranty. The next problem is thedrive shaft now has to be replaced. I was told by the dealer that the sealed bearing are gone. I have never heard of a drive shaft failure but as i search the internet i see that both the transfer case and drive shaft appear to be an inherent problem with all of the awd fusions.
I own 2007 fusion sethat has a vibration in front-end of vehicle when you accelerate quickly or wet pavement and the right front wheel grabs intermittently and on dry pavement it pulls extremely to the rightand some timesone can lose control of vehicle if you aren't expecting this action to happen.
Car is new and three months old."metallic scraping sounds were heard. Taken to dealer, and dealer'smechanic found the con stant velocity joint to be rusted and faulty. Mechanic shocked that this happened on a new vehicle. Part special ordered as it's not normally needed. Vehicle currently with dealer for part replacement.
2007 ford fusion 4 cylinder, manual transmission. Extremely difficult to control in winter weather. I have driven other manual transmissions on snow and ice with no problems. This car is terrible. I lost control once traveling about 20 mph and did $2000 front end damage. Suddenly, the front went slightly left and the rear went to the right as i spun around, hit a mailbox post and barely missed a telephone pole. Otherwise i like the car except for the noisy 4 cylinder engine (over 60 mph).
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact was driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly swerved into another lane. The brakes locked when pressure was applied and the vehicle began to spin uncontrollably. When the brakes were engaged there was a clicking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle would not slow down and accelerated up an embankment and into a dirt mound. The seat belt failed to secure the contact and caused her to forcefully strike the windshield area. The contact sustained eye, neck and back injuries. The air bags failed to deploy during the crash. A police report was filed. The vehicle was severely damaged and towed to a collision center. The failure mileage was 41,096.

The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it.the interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate.the engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.
It has been over ayear on the recall for the passenger seat of my vehicle , is there a time frame about when it will be repaired, before something heppen or one of my kids get hurt from the airbag .
The contact owns 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that when swerving from oncoming traffic the vehicle rolled over and the airbags failed to deploy. The contact mentioned that the seat belt on the rear left hand side failed to lock causing the passenger to be ejected from the vehicle.a police report was filed and minor injuries were sustained to 3 occupants. As a result of the crash, the ejected passenger was paralyzed.the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The vin number was unavailable.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. After the driver buckled the seat belt, the seat belt exploded and locked the driver in the seat. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was a moisture failure and the seat belt restraint on the driver and passenger sides needed to be repaired. The contact was informed that the air bag warning indicator was supposed to illuminate in order for the failure to occur. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was not contacted about the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Customer feels that the seat belts and the side air bags are a hazard and are not safe in a rollover**ccthe consumer stated the seat belts are not safe in a rollover due to the incorrect assumption that the roof will remain intact. The consumer also stated the air bags are not helpful because occupants may have their heads thrown against the side windowsby a previous maneuver or impact, before a side impact, only to have their necks broken by an inflating air bag.the head restraints have supportsthat are too weak to prevent injury in a severe rear impact. The consumer wanted to share his continued concern with the safety of automobiles. Updated consumer letter 07/22/10
I took my car to have the airbag recall fixed and the dealership told me my airbags being replaced won't make my airbag light on the dash go off. It is something something else idk they wanted to charge me to diagnose it. It just doesn't make sense they are fixing the airbags yet the airbag light will not go off even after they are replaced. Makes absolutely no sense.
The seat belt does not stay snug against the hips due to the lack of a manual adjustment. No mater how many times i try to make it snug, it works its way up toward the belly. It also does not hold me in place in the set during sudden maneuvers as a manually adjustable seat belt buckle would.

The seat does not support the back between the hips and the shoulder blades unless reclined, which is not a desirable driving position.the adjustable lumbar support pushes on the top and middle of the pelvis and results in pinched nerves in the back. The seat cushion has very hard, raised sides, the roof of the car is low and curved down on the sides, the car is low to the ground and the seat is well inside the vehicle. The end result is that if i am trying to get into the vehicle and my hip hits the side of the seat instead of the soft part in the middle, i pull muscles in my side. The assist handle is no assistance and it is actually a hazard in a rollover since it could cause serious head injuries. It is right next to my head with the power seat in its highest position (about the only position that allows access to the pedals and still provides support for the thighs). I am 5 feet 11 inches tall. I have injured myself several times trying to get in and out of this vehicle.

I reported an issue relating to the abs in my 2007 ford fusion on 11/24/18, but just realized i had used my tile number instead of vin.perhaps that's why i have never received a response?i have attached a copy of my previous complaint.i am wondering if my vehicle is or will be a part of the recall for abs valve because i have been waiting for years for this issue to be resolved so that i can get the vehicle repaired and get rid of it.
The brake pedal has gone soft, to the floor, several times during normal braking in the last four months. It greatly increased stoping distance. It seems to have occurred on snow covered or rough spots on the highway. All of the events occurred on asphalt paved roads. It self corrects fairly quickly. The problem seems to be the same as reported by other owners of 07-09 fusions and milans.
Driving along and went to stop at a stop sign and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor then started stopping very slowly. Took it the the mechanic shop and they couldn't find anything wrong. Drove it home and it did it one time again. Continued driving it for about 300 miles before it happened again last night. This time the brake failed at 4 stops in a row. Then it engaged again and was fine the rest of the 20 miles home. The dealer mechanic said it may have something to do with the abs but it will be expensive to diagnose and repair because it only happens intermitantly. I have read numerous other complaints from other fusion owners forums for the same problem . One person said it cost $2000 to fix. Ford issued a service bulletin and set up a customer satisfaction program for this same problem but only for hybrids. This is a very dangerous problem. I went right through the stop sign and could have been killed if the other person hadn't slammed on their brakes.
Kayser ford in madison, wi was supposed to have replaced driver side air bag. I have concerns about their properly replacing, per the safety recall, as tim douglas boasted that "they have over 47 airbags" in back and this is not how the recall should work. The part needs to be ordered per the vin and received and put in, not some random spare extra parts in back, put in the vehicle, without knowing how long they have been sitting there. Further, this ford replaced the passenger airbag, and pulled on the bottom edge of the airbag compartment, causing a badly tented edge, that could obstruct the passenger air bag deployment or tear the bag if it is deployed, and affect the angle and trajectory of the deployment.this ford denied any responsibility. When we had it towed for other repairs including the driver side airbag, they not only did not perform the necessary repairs, but they caused harm to our car: damage to the front bumper, failed to refill fluids correctly, including transmission fluid and power steering fluid and did not replace the front brake calipers.the new serpentine belt is loose and makes a noise. They also drove our car over 30 miles, without our authorization and then lied on the invoice claiming that our car came in and left at the same mileage. Further, they left our car on a tow truck with the j hook hanging from the suspension and under tension, all night.
Abs failed to stop my car.
I took my car into the dealer to have my brakes checked. I was told i needed new brakes and rotors, after replacing brakes and rear rotors drove the car out , less than a quarter of a mile on the way home brake paddle went down to the floor.return to the dealer was suggested i need a master cylinder , the master cylinder was replaced was told that was not the problem. No one knew exactly what it was for two days, i was called and inform it was abs valve module.ford dealer hadto order valve module one week later still waiting. Don't understand why there is no recall.(many complaints)
While driving my 2007 ford fusion approximately 35 miles an hour and approaching a stoplight, i applied the brakes to slow down and the car passed over a rough patch of road with several potholes. The brake pedal became soft and moved down towards the floorboard and the car coasted without continuing to slow down. After releasing the brake pedal and then applying the brakes again, the pedal was still soft and the car continued to coast and eventually came to a stop well into the intersection after the brake pedal was mashed to the floor. The soft brake issue continued as i drove the car to a repair shop to have it looked at. The repair shop has been able to remedy the fix by bleeding the brake lines but the issue has recurred over time and there does not appear to be a permanent fix made available.this is the fourth occurrence of this "soft brake" problem over the last two years. Each time it has occurred i have avoided a collision but worry that i may not be as lucky the next time this occurs. I purchased the vehicle new in july 2007 and had no brake issues until two years ago. Given that this is a recurring problem, i have done some research and noticed that others are beginning to have the same experience that i am and have reported it. I hope the nhtsa is able to investigate this issue and issue a recall that will make these vehicles safer for everyone on the road.
Driving down a bumpy gravel road (some call it washboard), i went to apply the brakes and it was like the brakes were not there; the brake pedal went all the way down to the floor.i pumped the brake pedal and that helped.we did take the car to a mechanic, but by that time, the brakes had come back.he could not figure out what was wrong.another time, coming up to a light when it turned yellow, i braked, the abs kicked in, and instantly my brake pedal went to the floor again.this was on dry pavement.i could not stop.i made a right turn just as the light turned red.the brakes remained "spongy," but they came back shortly after the incident.this last example has happened at the same intersection twice.the light turns yellow, i brake, the abs kicks in, my brake pedal goes to the floor.this last time, i drove back to the intersection and noted that there is a drop or considerable bump along a pavement seam just as you come up to the light.enough of a drop that you can feel it in your car as you drive over it.both of these times at the stop light i was unable to stop before the intersection.i had to proceed through making a right hand turn on a red light.i was not over-driving or speeding, i was unable to stop because the brake pedal had gone soft.this last time i took the car to the ford dealership in town and they verified that the hcu tested bad and needed to be replaced.
When attempting to stop my 2007 ford fusion the brakes would lose functionality in varying degrees.sometimes the pedal would get soft but i would be able to stop the car by pressing harder and other-times the brakes would fail to work all together.when the brakes would fail they would regain functionally after about 5-10 minutes.when i inspected the brake system there was no evidence of leaking brake fluid or break/rotor wear.when i took the car to the shop the mechanic assured me there was nothing wrong with my abs braking system.the faulty brakes in my ford fusion eventually failed completely while driving at 65 mph on highway i-195 when traffic came to an abrupt stop.i suffered a life changing concussion in the resulting accident as well as losing my car and job.i believe the problem is a faulty master cylinder as no brake fluid is lost from the system.please address this issue there are still 2007 ford fusions on the road today that will eventually cause more serious accidents.
On june 29, 2013 i was driving on route 13towards highway 71 in ohio near bellville. I began to attempt to stop at the second stop light before the highway passed over 13 and my brakes failed to respond. I heard on the news about the investigation into the brake failure for these types of vehicles and wanted to help. I was sited for the accident, but my brakes were less than 6 months old. I never had contact with thewoman i hit because my car rolled through both intersections, i had to use the grass median to slow the car before using the parking brake to stop the car completely. The car rolled about 1,600 ft before i could stop it. I can provide more information with time as i now live in texas.
Driving down a hill and the brake went all the way to the floor and almost couldn't stop, had everything checked with the brakes and fluid and everything was fine with brake fluid level, brake pads but nothing has been remedied to fix this problem seems to be an abs module and there have been many complaints about this problem. To take it to a dealer and have them fix this ongoing problem with this make and model would cost around 2,500.00.my car only has around 50,000 miles on it and i am the only owner who is 72 years old.problems need to be taken care of quicker with recalls also because i'm still waiting for my airbag recall and that has been for a year now and when i call or take my car to the dealer for them to fix the recall and get a rental car which i also got a notice that i was eligible to get, the dealer will not give me a loaner car nor do they even know of when the takata airbags will be replaced.hopefully no one gets killed because of this 'recall'.i don't know what the holdup is but, i don't appreciate getting a recall notice and wasting my time taking my car in for it and then being told they don't have the part.for it.what piss poor service our auto industry is sinking to.

This is a continuation of complaint 11171753 where i reported issues with ford fusion abs brake system. Turns out the office of defects investigation have had a pe going for several years on this issue. Pe16-017. Recently, an open investigation has been initiated. Ea18002. This action increased the model years and models effected. My local ford dealer inspected my car and determined the hydraulic modulator is in fact defective. He also informed me he cannot fix it because ford has discontinued the part. Ford has discontinued the awd version of the modulator. The fwd version is still available. What this means is i now have an unsafe car that cannot be repaired.*dt
As i was driving, the vehicle steering wheel locked and the brakes went out.
Since purchasing the vehicle from gresham ford on 12/10/16, there have been three separate occasions when the vehicle lost control while braking and did not stop when expected.i was very fortunate to avoid collisions on all three occasions. The first incident occurred on 7/28/17.the roads were dry.i was driving on the interstate at highway speed when i saw stopped traffic ahead and had to stop quickly.i had plenty of time to slow down and stop, however, when i applied the brakes, the tires squealed, vehicle skidded and actually left tire marks on the road and i was very close to not being able to stop in time.i took the ford in to gresham ford to get the brakes checked the next day and was told by a service tech. That the brakes were fine, but that i might want to get the abs checked out.the next incident occurred on january 11, 2018, when i was driving on the interstate, traveling at 60 mph in the rain.i tapped the brakes lightly as i entered into some water that had pooled (not deeply) on the roads.my car completely lost control and started hydroplaning.i could not pull out of the hydroplane for 20-30 seconds.my car was pulling towards the exterior guardrail for some time and then suddenly it was as if someone grabbed my steering wheel and pulled it as hard as they could to the left.i started traveling diagonally across lanes of traffic, but was able to recover because the vehicle stopped hydroplaning at that point.the third incident occurred on october 26, 2018.i was going about 40-45.it was raining, but not enough to hydroplane.the stoplight turned yellow and i knew i didn't have time to make it through before it turned red.i had to stop quickly, but when i did, instead of stopping, my vehicle began skidding (not hydroplaning) and sliding forward.the car was difficult to control and was pulling me toward the left lane.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving approximately 35 mph in dry conditions, the contact applied the brake pedal and the anti-lock braking system engaged. The contact also stated that the abs only worked when the vehicle was driven in dry conditions and not when the pavement was wet. The contact also noticed that when the abs warning indicator was illuminated, the abs worked. When the indicator was off, it did not work. The failure occurred for approximately two years. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the rear brake sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 147,000. *dt
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brakes failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. The contact sustained minor bruises that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center and the body damages were repaired. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 80,000.
My son was driving the car in the city.he went over a speed bump at slow speed and as soon as he came off the speed bump, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor.he was able to pump the brakes to stop the car.he got out and checked for leaks or other problems and found none.he tested the brakes driving slowly and they seemed to be working fine, so he drove it home.we had it checked by our mechanic but they couldn't find any problems.
Air bag on dash board is on. My gears won't switch how they used to. It takes a very long time for me to get the gear on drive mode. Stepping on the gas break to move gear, it also doesn't help.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. When the brake pedal was applied, the pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning. The dealer replaced the abs module and abs pump, but the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 49,500.
Brake pedal goes halfway to floor after starting engine.both the brake pedal and gas pedal become equal in distance from the floor of the car making it very easy to be hitting the gas and brakes at the same time.
Brake pedal goes to the floor, and is undrivable due to safety issues. This problem has been going on for months with this vehicle, we have spent several thousand dollars, numerous parts for the abs brakes and oil leaks continually coming from the master cylinder.problem never fixed, several mechanics could not figure out after replacing everything with the brake line and still brake goes to the floor. Brakes bled numerous times and nothing is different, replaced several parts and no improvement (hcu, brake booster, master cylinder, both rear brake calipers). Problems still persist.very upset, this car is making us broke and still no recall!!?? same problem every day with the car, unable to safely drive it, for several months now, not just a specific date, but months-long problems with this car, we have a child with autism who needs to get to appointments and unable to drive him in this unsafe car. Also airbag is a safety hazard, was officially recalled, but no fix provided its been over 2 years since we were notified.these are serious safety risks.
Brake pedal goes soft with long travel without warning. Very intermittent but very scary when it happens because you aren't expecting it. No warning. Sometime weeks or a month between events. Forums seem to pinpoint abs system. Today, my wife came close to running down children in a crosswalk. Refuses to drive the car any more which requires me taking her to work etc. Not good situation. Fix is approx 1000.00 and dealer only since special equipment is required to work on abs hydraulic control valves. Ouch....*dt
I got in an accident when i was merging onto the highway because i went to brake and they all the sudden wouldn't work and went straight to the floor. This was caused because of the recall on the brakes.
After the abs engaged on the car on some ice (going approximately 20mph) the brake pedal sank nearly to the floor. Now i have no abs and the pedal sinks to about 2 inches above the floor before braking starts. I have had the lines and master cylinder looked at and they were fine. The dealer believes it is the abs pump that has a stuck valve. Apparently this is not uncommon and needs to be a recall not just an expensive repair bill for something that could kill people.
I was driving my car in the city and came to a curved lane. I stepped on the brakes to slow down so that i could make a slight turn but don't remember the car slowing down. I then tried to stir the wheel so that i would not crash. At this point, i might have over corrected the stirring wheel leading the car to slid as the road was wet. I ended up hitting a pole.
The abs goes off when applying the breaks at random times when it should not be, such as on dry payment, making breaking distances longer. The event occurs mostly at speeds below 45 mph and has been primarily observed in local traffic. When this occurs it seems to be when turning the wheel, such as slowing down to make a right or left hand turn. There are no abs warning lights on the dash, breaks are newer along with tires.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the pedal traveled to the floorboard and the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (bill collins ford, 4220 bardstown rd, louisville, ky) where it was diagnosed that the abs hydraulic unit was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred approximately six years later. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not notified of the recent failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
My 2007 ford fusion was purchased in 2011 and was financed, and i paid it off in december 2017. It since then only it has a 144,00 miles. It was purchased withlower mileage, of an estimation of 40,000 to 50,000 miles on it at final salemeaning it was a 2007 car, purchased in 2011, so that's a problem when before it had been paid off, and major problems of many. I would like a refund of a lesser equal to or equal value to my purchased car price from manufacture or dealership. The two recalls issued that i have not taken care of yet, and other problems with cheap made inside door handles broke easily, being hard plastic/metal, this makes getting out of my vehicle a major safety issues along with the other issues of airbags and brakes and other safety issues.
Brake pedal will randomly go to the floor, losing all brake control. When pedal is pumped, i regain brakes, but have had some very close calls. It usually does it while in motion. This has happened several times. Local ford dealer found no brake problems when inspected.
After changing rotor and brake pad all around on vehicle the brake pedal still goes almost all the way to floor . Car will stop but not without some additional pumping and allowing more time to stop
When backing out of a parking spot i depressed the brake pedal and it went straight to the floor. The car did not stop. I put car immediately into park and then pumped brakes. Pressure seemed to return to the brakes so i proceeded to back out again, testing brakes consistently. Brakes seemed to respond but seemed "soft" still. I drove car to mechanic without incident, thinking the problem was the master cylinder. Mechanic informed me that the problem was not the master cylinder but rather the abs hydraulic control module and that he had seen this same problem with four other ford vehicles, two of them fusions. Mechanic stated that when he looked up the symptoms i reported to him in his "identifix/oem" database that this problem came up associated with a technical service bulletin from ford, including the instructions for how to repair the problem. He could not find a recall notice for this problem, however. This appears to be a manufacturer's defect and i am perplexed as to why there is no recall. I will be contacting the ford motor company to investigate further. My mechanic repaired the problem which cost just over $2000 and did include him taking the car to a ford dealer to reset the abs and associate the repair with my vin. Two days since repair and i have not had any brake problems.
When applying the brakes in snow, the brake pedal went to the floor. Happened again on regular blacktop pulling out of a low spot.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While the vehicle was approaching a stop on an uneven road, the brakes were unresponsive when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact pulled the vehicle off the road and depressed the brake pedal multiple times before it became responsive. The failure occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. .....updated 12/15/15
In december of 2018 the vehicle hit a rough surface of road as i was stopping near an intersection.the brake pedal immediately went to the floor and i went into the intersection. Thankfully there were no cars passing through. Just after the incident the brakes firmed up and worked as normal. Car was brought to the dealership and no issues were found. I asked about technical service bulletins and was told there were none. Dealership thought the issue was a brief loss of vacuum in the booster. Told to keep driving the vehicle, and if it happens again they will replace the master cylinder. Now on 10/9/19 it has happened again. Vehicle went over a bump and the brakes went to the floor. Looking online, i quickly found a youtube video back in 2014 with a full explanation on how the hcu is malfunctioning on some of these cars. After the abs event is over, the abs valve is sticking and not reclosing resulting in the soft pedal. Yet not long after, the pedal firms up and the brakes work as normal. It looks like there are quite a few people experiencing this. Please look into at least having a tsb put out. I would have replaced it last december if i had known, as this is a dangerous problem. My daughter was driving this time and i'm just thankful she was in a situation where she had enough room to stop. Please, please issue the tsb now. The car should be recalled as it's unsafe, but at least a tsb gives the owner/dealer the information needed to get the car fixed. Have record of visit to dealership in 2018 if needed. It shows that they were concerned about the hoses to the booster. Nothing about the hydraulic control unit.
Any time the abs system engages, break pressure is lost for extended periods of time, resulting in longer stopping distances. Usually the only way to get break pressure back is to turn the car off, let it sit, and pump the breaks hard several times before pressure is regained, sometimes not for several days. I have not yet been in an accident due to this but feel it is only a matter of time. It first occurred last year around this time when my car was around 116000 miles. It has occurred 2 more times since then including today. The master cylinder was replaced in august 2018 with no change in the problem. After extensive research and ruling out other possibilities,i believe the problem is due to the abs control module. I know there is research into this already, so i am adding my car to the list of affected vehicles to ensure something is done about this problem.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving, the brake pedal had to be depressed to the floorboard in order to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to eagle river ford (1050 e wall st, eagle river, wi 54521), but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.
This had been a repeat issue i would hit a bump or pothole while also pressing the break. There would be a brief sound of the abs kicking in, followed by a sudden and alarming loss of brake pressure. While pressing the brakes, there would be a moment where back pressure will be felt, then would pass that threshold and fully pressing the brake to the floor would be necessary to stop the vehicle. This would continue to occur for some time (usually the duration of the drive) and repeatedly pumping the brakes while stopped might return it to normal functionality only for a little while. Same problem as of today 3/2017 charleston, wv
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. When the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal was spongy and slow to respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
After engaging abs, brakes are very soft and brake pedal needs to be pushed to the floor to stop the car. Brakes were fine before and after indeterminate number of braking attempts brakes eventually return to normal. Usually after a few days of driving. Only consistent condition that triggers the defect is activation of abs. Has happened in winter on ice, summer in rain or gravel.
Abs brake activation causes brakes to be mushy and non-responsive after braking event, this issue almost resulted in a near accident, pedal continues to be soft.
I was involved in a car accident that should have never happened. I was driving and traffic in front of me stopped and i attempted to stop,however when i applied pressure and then felt my pedal drop and get spongy, i then had to apply much more pressure but it wasn't enough. What should have been enough stopping distance almost doubled. I attempted to avoid a direct rear end collision and managed to veer off to the right and only hit the other car on the right rear side bumper. I have never been in any accident reports where i have rear ended a person and in this case i could feel the break pedal drop under me. I filed the accident report with my insurance company. This is the statement that i gave to them. "p1 was traveling w/b in the number 3 lane of us highway 50 with the flow of traffic at about 40 miles per hour on october 20th 2017 at approximately 6:19pm. Traffic was moderate and was beginning to come to a slow down. P1 needed to take exit 6b toward ca-99 south in 1.9 miles so i used my right turn signal to indicate i was switching from lane 3 to lane 2. As p1 proceeded to merge into the number 2 lane traffic was slowing down and i was entering the lane at 25 miles per hour.still traveling west bound in the number 2 lane just north of the 59th street overpass, p2 who is now directly in front of p1 slams his breaks and begins to come to a complete stop. P1 was driving about 25 feet behind p2 at 25 mph and also applied the full force to the breaks. When i applied the brakes i felt a spongy feeling on my brake pedal, and it didn't behave the same and i had to reapply much more force at which time it was too late. I collided with the other vehicle at about 10 mph "
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving approximately 40 mph and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when depressed and the vehicle would not stop. The contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed. A police report was filed. After the crash, the vehicle continued to experience intermittent brake failures. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the abs module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The module was replaced and the failure was remedied. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 80,000. Consumer stated on 3 occasions my daughter rear ended vehiclesbecause of brake failure. It was an abs module which he fixed. Consumer stated we have a salvage title lowering the cost of resale. Consuemr found abs problem through a repair search called identifix.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the steering wheel seized and the brakes failed to respond without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the bolt fractured as a result the pulley needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on two occasions but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000. The consumer stated there was a noise coming front he engine. The dealer stated the replaced the idler tensions pulley. However, he continued to experience problems.the consumer went to another dealer, who informed him, the problem would happen again, because the bolts that held the pulley in place, were too small in diameter and would break at some point. As the consumer was backing out of the driveway, he heard a noise then lost power steering and brakes. Updated 11/10/13
This has happen intermitingly during the course of ownership. Latest date is 12/14/2017, car has 100,000 miles on it - original owner. If on slippery, or snowy road and brakes are used to stop, if abs functions, peddle goes low and stopping difficult. If pedal pumped, brakes become firm and function ok. Eventually system goes back to normal by itself.
When driving and the car has an abs braking event due to a sudden stop or slick road conditions the pedal would drop to the floor as if there was no brake fluid pressure.after the vehicle was rested pressure would return.after approximately 3 occurrences of the issue, resting the vehicle no longer fixed the issue.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for service who diagnosed the hydraulic control unit had failed and it was replaced.the problem was fixed and has not returned after subsequent abs braking events.
I've had constant brake issues since i got the vehicle. I strongly believe the recent ford brake recall is more widespread than is currently believed as i have the exact issues described in the recall but my vehicle is supposedly not affected. I fear for my safety and the safety of other ford owners who might be affected by this significant brake issue.
When hitting a bump in the road while braking or after braking quickly and hard, brake pressure/resistance is lost--not completely, but disarmingly noticeable. I have to pump the brakes once to feel more pressure/resistance. My fusion has experienced this problem for years. I'm pretty sure i reported it to the service department of harrold ford in sacramento ca years ago and that i was told the brakes function as they should. Given that reply, i assumed that this is a side effect of abs brakes. I am reporting this complaint now because of the recent media reports that nhtsa is investigating this type of complaint.. The date shown in "when did this happen?" is an estimate of the last time it occurred. It has occurred many times in the 10+ years that i have been driving this car. The car is owned by my employer, california farm bureau federation.
Between 55-65k the brake pedal became soft/mushy and sporadically would go all the way to the floor/firewall when trying to stop; sometimes rolling through a stop sign or a traffic light. At first, it was sporadic; then, the brakes needed to be pumped every time before stopping or the car would continue to travel as the brake pedal would go all the way to the floor/firewall. Eventually pumping the brakes did not work and i had a mushy brake pedal with no brakes at all that would go right to the floor and the car would not stop. I had new rotors and pads installed and bled the brakes but this did not correct the problem. After researching and diagnosing the problem i bought and installed a used hydraulic control unit from the identical make, year and model as my car. I could not afford a new unit at $880.00 dollars plus tax and dealer installation $$$$. The brakes worked fine after the used hydraulic control unit was installed. The problem is that after an anti-lock breaking event a valve in the unit remains stuck in the open position and causes the soft breaking.
As of feb 2017, i have approximately 92,000 miles on my car. In winter of 2014 after going over a patch of ice and the abs engaging the brake pedal became spongy and went to the floor. Brakes still applied but felt like manual mode. After several days of difficult braking the issue resolved itself and normal braking resumed. However, every time i braked in a gravel area or such with limited traction and the abs would engage, it would create a brake issue for several days. In october 2015, the issue became permanent, however i found i could correct it temporarily by pulling the fuse associated with the abs control module with engine off, starting the car with it out and reinserting the fuse seemed to reset the module and it worked properly again for a day or 2 at best before reverting back to the soft pedal issue. I also noted, pulsing the pedal and then slamming on the pedal, as you would during emergency braking, would create a normal pedal feel at times, but that is not needed during typical driving and would immediately revert back to poor pedal feel. I've recently called my local ford parts department, and was told that the part for a 2007 ford fusion, part # 7e5z 2c215a, is no longer available, and there is no guarantee that the part for the 2008 fusion would fit or work with a 2007 ecu. So i'm left with finding one in a scrap yard or taking a chance that a $1,235 2008 part may work with my vehicle. Please help, as if it were not that i am a cautious driver with my vehicle, accidents may have occurred due to this issue.
The abs braking system on the car is defective and essentially has made the car unusable.the abs module is apparently no longer sold and only available from a salvage yard.i have brought this vehicle to the ford dealership for repair and even with two separate abs modules replaced the brakes still do not work properly.they have no proper repair available.
Driving on slippery winter northern illinois road, stepped on brakes when approaching a stop light.abs kicked in (seemed to be right front wheel), then brake petal went to the floor and could not stop, almost hit the car ahead of me. Brake petal remained very soft and easily went to the floor board for the next couple of days. After that, it went back to normal. I am convinced an abs valve stuck, so i went to the dealer to get a fix / part. To my surprise, dealer said ford does not supply the part and cannot fix this problem with a new part. So, i have no solution.if i get a part from the junk yard, it will likely have the same problem in time. This is a major problem to the safety of my family, and ford offers no solution. Only thing i can think of is deactivate the abs. At least i will have some brakes in emergency rather than no brakes.
Brakes are extremely spongy started a couple of years ago with a complete brake failure that i had to veer to the right and hit a curb so that i wouldn't hit the car in front of me.took a huge chunk out of my rim.i had 2 of my granddaughters in the car with me on that particular day and we were all terrified.after that they started working fine again and now for the past year they have been spongy and we have replaced every part of the brake system with no change, the brakes continue to be spongy.this has cost my husband and i a lot of money, headache and time.i'm afraid to drive my car now not knowing if it could completely fail at any moment.this is ridiculous, i see there are multiple complaints about the same problem.this is an ongoing issue and ford should be made to fix the problem due to the fact that so many of these cars if not all of them are failing.and to top it off i read that ford no longer makes the abs system for the fusions with awd, which is what i have.what am i supposed to do.we've done our part keeping up on the maintenance, even replacing every part of the brake system including the abs. Please, please, please something needs to be done.ford needs to be held accountable and make this right.i often have my grandchildren but i don't feel safe having them in my car anymore.it's really messed up that i shelled out all this money for a safe car just to have them say it's not our problem when the exact same issue is occurring year after year in the ford fusions.i can't afford to just go out and buy another car and i shouldn't have to.especially when the same part in all of these complaints is the problem.whatever happened to accountability.
The abs hcu valves in my 2007 ford fusion have become stuck causing the brakes to become very "spongy" and dramatically increase the stopping distance of my vehicle.after some research, it is clear this is a very common, dangerous, and costly issue that ford will not stand behind.
Driving to phoenix from tucson on i-10 at approximately 65mph, traffic ahead came to a stop.there was a lot of distance between the car ahead and ourselves, but when we hit the brakes abruptly, the brakes applied then failed with pedal going to the floor.released the pedal and reapplied again and the brakes again started to slow the car then again failed and released.we had no path to the side of the road to avoid impact because other vehicles had pulled to the side, or were in the other lane.we impacted the vehicle stopped in traffic ahead of us with minimal brakes.the az dps and the insurance company were informed of the failure of brakes, but a ticket was still issued.to my knowledge the vehicle brakes or computer has yet to be checked as the fusion was considered a total loss; this vehicle had only 65,000 miles on it, and in excellent condition. There were three of us in the fusion and the airbags worked flawlessly, we all walked away.all occupants of the other vehicles were well and walking around for two hours until one was talked into an ambulance ride by a paramedic tech.
I was involved in an accident on 11-30-19 due to my brakes not allowing me to stop in time and hitting a car in front of me.the car was stopped in the road, waiting to turn, and i tried to stop but i couldn't in time.it caused enough cosmetic (only) damage to my car that my insurance company is filing it as a total loss due to the cost of repairs compared to the value of my car.i will probably be forced to keep it though since i can't afford a new car, since i'm on a fixed income.my daughter is helping me to understand what we have to go through to keep it, to get a salvage title and then apply for a rebuilt title.i just wanted to report this in case my car will be included in the ford brake recall.
A recall involving brakes remains unresolved by manufacturer ford.
There is a problem with my car that is very dangerous, and could be life threatening to me and others. Under certain conditions my brakes will not work.it happens when the road is wet or has snow on it.a few different things has happened which apparently depends how slippery the road is. When braking sometimes there will be a odd noise which i think is the safety braking feature, but even that doesn't seem to work correct.the worst is this. Again, when slick or slippery roads.there have been numerous times when trying to brake i have lost all braking.the brake pedel goes completely to the floor. On a few occasions this happened while trying to stop before a stop sign and ended up in the middle of the road. This has happened going at a speed of 10 to 55 mph. Twice this happened where the stop sign was at a road that was 55 mph. You can imagine what could have happened. I have read online that others are having the same problem.why has nothing been done about this potentially deadly situation ? for crying out loud. Does there have to be deaths before action is taken ?the car was taken to a local dealer and they said the brakes needed to be blead. They seemed to be aware of this problem....again, why and the hell is nothing being done about it ?next i am going to write my state representative or someone who can make something happen.i believe i wrote to you before, but lost the paperwork that came.but it doesn't look like nothing was being done about it anyway. Oh, and when the brakes were blead by the dealer it made no difference.at least when other car manufacturers have recalls something appears to be done about it . Here in the good ole usa things seem to drag on and on and on.so does that mean foreign manufacturers are more considerate for our safety than own country ? i want action.
I received safety recall notice 19s54 / nhtsa recall 10v-904 in january 2020 telling me there is a safety issue with the braking system on my car.it said i would be notified when parts would be available.i got another notice in october of 2020 telling me the same thing, but have still not heard back.it has been over a year and no word from ford.if this is a safety issue they are not taking it very seriously.it cannot take over a year to get parts.i am giving this car to my grand daughter but do not want to do so if there is a problem with the brakes.
Per your web site and investigation pe16017, my 2007 fusion is exhibiting these exact symptoms regarding braking distance. Please be ensured this is a real problem that ford should recall. It is frightening. I had to brake hard to avoid hitting someone. From that point forward, my brakes easily require 30-50% more pressure (sometimes more) to stop the vehicle.
While driving down a city road this morning at 40 mph, i applied the brakes as i approached the intersection.there was a red light and i was unable to decelerate normally or completely stop.the brake pedal depressed completely to the floor and i had very little control.i pumped the brakes feverishly.the brake pedal was very soft and hit the floor quickly.if it had not been so early in the morning, i would have been in an accident.though i was able to slow my speed, i was not able to stop in time. I had to roll through the red light and turn right.this is not the first time this has happened.it happened before on the highway in rainy, inclement weather.the traffic was slow and i was able to avoid hitting the car in front of me.i attributed this to wet, slippery road conditions.i now feel something is truly wrong with the braking system.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was applied however, failed to respond and depressed to the floorboard. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. Ken wilson ford (769 champion dr, canton, nc 28716, (877) 740-8559) was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 49,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I purchased the car new and have never had any brake issues.yesterday driving on compact snow and ice at about 25 mph the anti-lock brake system engaged while slowing to start a turn. The brake pedal went almost to the floor before the abs engaged a second time.at this point i was already passed the intersection. Since this happened the brake pedal is very spongy and will travel almost to the floor before any braking occurs.a quick search of the internet shows this is a common issue with this make and model.information is not clear what the issue is.some report the master cylinder others state the abs control unit is to blame.there are many complaints of several service calls required and many $$$ to correct the problem.
I have a 2007 ford fusion sel v6.the car had 87,000 miles.it was on the way to work in the morning.the car in front of me slowed down so i was slowing down too.my foot was on the brake paddle all the time at that moment.the speed slowed down from about 35 mph to about 20-25 mph. Then it felt suddenly not working.i tried to press the brake harder but did not work.the abs didn't work either.there was no braking sound or mark on the road.the car wouldn't stop.i rear ended the car in front of me.watched the airbag deployed.after the crash, the car kept moving forward while the front car pulled forward.i used the emergency brake to stop the car before moving the shaft to park position and turning the car off.
Very noticeable is the jerking of the car, especially when accelerating.
I own a 2007 ford fusion with 122,000 miles.about a month ago i had an issue with the braking system.the first occurrence happened during a 'panic' stop when i was cut off in traffic.the abs activated, then the pedal went to the floor.i had to drive the vehicle home with the brake pedal traveling much further down than normal.i took my vehicle to the brandon ford service department in florida.i was advised that the problem was a faulty hydraulic brake controller, which is no longer available through ford as the part has been discontinued.there are also no aftermarket companies that manufacturer this part.they told me i would have to find a replacement from a salvage yard, ebay or similar place.not long after this service visit, the brake pedal miraculously returned to normal pressure.i was able to drive nearly 300-trouble free miles before it happened again.this time it was raining and as i was slowing again, i must have hit a bump or slippery surface causing the abs to kick in again.this immediately caused the pedal to go to the floor again.as of last night, the pedal pressure is still low and it has not returned to normal.i find it hard to believe that this problem does not have a solution.i cant believe that ford has not come up with a 'fix', or a re-engineered replacement part.can you imagine something as important as the braking system being compromised with absolutely no way to repair it.i really hope ford stands behind their vehicles, does right by their customers and comes up with a solution.
Brakes are mushy after the anti-lock brakes engage.this happened before, months ago, and the mushy feeling went away in a few days.the problem just happened again and the brakes are still mushy a day later.the first time was due to snow on the road.the second time due to moss and rain on a gravel driveway on a steep hill.
I was driving down garners ferry in columbia, sc on a rainy day in june, towards where it turns into devine st., and as i passed the target (shoppes at woodhill, 6090 garners ferry rd, columbia, sc 29209) i started attempting to slow down because the road is downhill. As i started to press the brakes the car didn't seem to be slowing. I took a second to glance down and make sure i was pressing the brake. I was so i panicked and started stomping the brake.i felt the car shaking and vibrating the steering wheel and it sounds like the brakes were locked but i couldn't stop my car before rear-ending an suv at full speed in my ford fusion on the garners ferry/devine st. And rosewood/wildcat rd. Intersection. The front end of my car was damaged totaling over $1,000.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving 10 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was previously taken to norm reeves ford superstore (located at 18900 studebaker rd, cerritos, ca 90703) where it was diagnosed that the brakes and master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 159,350.
The brake pedal goes soft when i brake on a rough, or uneven road. The pedal remains soft until the car is shut off, and not used for an extended time period of time. This has happened to me more than once. The first time was in late 2015. I spent over $500 getting a majority of the braking system replaced. It just happened again on monday, feb 13, 2017.
Ford has failed to provide a timely repair for my vehicle on a posted recall. They have taken over a year and still claim they do not have a remedy for this recall.it is nhtsa recall #19v904.my brakes need to be pushed nearly all the way to the floor in order to stop. This occurs any time i brake.
Brakes are very soft after going over a rough patch in the road and tried to brake to control vehicle. Brakes went almost to the floor and felt like there was no control. Since then, brakes will feel like they have pressure but when i have to apply brakes the pedal goes down to the floor. I have had 2 master cylinders replaced and that does not solve the problem.
While driving in downtown columbia, sc on devine st. December 6, 2016, it started raining. I saw the car in front me indicate they were going to turn so i tried to stop. The brake pedal touched the floor and the steering wheel started shaking. I started to slide, and before my car slowed down, i hit the car in front of me. Moments later the car behind me collided into the rear of my car,
Manufacturer recall number19s54nhtsa recall number19v904that was initiated on december 18th 2019 has still not been rectified by ford. I have not been contacted to have my vehicle repaired.
Brake pedal goes to floor when abs engaged.this happens every time abs is engaged.pumping breaks recovers pedal feel.
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.
After hitting a bump in the road the brakes became soft, going almost to the floor. I was driving on a paved county road.
I made a panic stop to avoid hitting a pedestrian. The anti-lock brake system was activated with this stop. The car stopped correctly.i arrived at the next intersection to stop and the brake pedal went to the floor. I rolled through the intersection and was able to pull over. I pumped the brake pedal for ten minutes before normal brake pedal pressure was achieved. The car was later checked out for the low pedal and it was determined to have adefective abs module/unit.i am driving the vehicle with the abs fuse removedto avoid this from occurring again until the replacement of the abs unit is made. This must be recalled by ford motor company before a fatality occurs.
I wanted to file my complaint on the brakes.i have had this vehicle since 8/07 and have had a few mechanics check the brakes.if i hit my brakes going over a bump they will go straight to the floor.most times it takes a couple hours for the brakes to return to normal. I have had many close calls; with the last one hitting the brakes and not knowing a bump was there, i had to swerve to keep from running into the back of another vehicle.this issue with the brakes has been going on continuous . Received recall letter for tarkata airbags still not had them repaired
After abs engaged, low brake pressure.(pedal to floor - little stopping ability)brake pressure returned after "pumping up" brakes.this issue has occurred more than twice, with different operators.
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
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.
Driving in a residential hilly area, i drove over a small bump heading towards a red light. My breaks immediately went soft and took excessive force to get the car to stop with the break pedal to the floor. We went about 15 feet before we were able to come to a complete stop in the middle of the intersection. Breaks are now soft and unable to drive without excessive force on the breaks.
My 2007 fusion frequently has soft brakes, the brake pedal feels squishy andgoes down to the floor and i am unable to stop within my desired stopping distance. This usually happens when the car is in motion on city streets however last night it happened in my garage. It has happened several times (june 24, 2016 through jan 9, 2017) and i do not feel safe driving my car. I have had 2 master cylinders, brakes flushed 2 times, 2 new front rotors, and paid for diagnostic testing but the only code displayed was that the car needed new spark plugs.
Abs control unit has recently gone bad. Since then, it takes much longer to stop. Ford mechanic said it is a very serious problem. I do not feel safe driving it anymore. Needs replacing asap.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard in order to slow down or stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the abs pump malfunctioned and allowed the brake pedal to go to the floorboard. The dealer (pallotta ford lincoln, 4199 cleveland rd, wooster, oh 44691, (330) 345-6600) performed several repairs from bleeding the brakes to replacing the master cylinder; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 90,000. The vin was unknown.
Complete brake system failure!i was the third vehicle in line waiting for a red light to change.the light changed and we all started moving forward.we move straight through the intersection.about 200 feet past the intersection two stray dogs run across the roadway.the roadway is a divided four lane with passing lanes and is a 40 mph zone.the two vehicles in front were able to stop.as i applied pressure on the brakes, i had this sense that something in the braking system let go.the brake pedal went to the floorboard.i remember pushing for all i was worth attempting to stop the vehicle, but having the sense that the vehicle is just not stopping.the accident was written up as unavoidable due to the two dogs and no driver was cited.that evening as i had time to relive the accident, i recalled the sense of the brakes having failed.the next day i went into the body shop and told them what i remembered and asked them to inspect the brakes as part of the repair assessment.they found that the braking system was completely gone except for the emergency brakes.the diagnostic system showed numerous codes in the braking system.the body shop had someone from ford motor company come and check on the brakes and they reported that the abs system had gone out.upon further inspection it was determined that brake failure caused the accident, and not the accident that caused the braking system to fail.it was determined that when the system went down that the abs system blew out pressure lines and also caused and electrical failure that burned electrical lines and blew out the fuses. If i had been driving 70 mph, i might not be here to tell about it.is there a history of this problem with this car?equipment failure like this kills people.
I noticed a warning on my dash the brake system (abs). I then searched for any recalls regarding the area, which led me to the nhtsa website. The vehicle was in motion upon noticing the trouble.
This car was purchased in 2011with 68,000 miles at time of purchase. It was purchased at tom mosanos in berks county, pa . It was paid off at the end of 2017, then now all the recalls 4 or 5 different recalls and serious recalls . I have absolutley no brakes all was to the floor with no pressure at all . To many because and i do believe that since it was paid off at the end of 2017 . That i should be offered for them to me to pick out and them to replace me another car for up to $10,00, and that tom masano gets a rebate in the amount of 10.000 or more , i need a safe car to drive with less safety recalls as this car has major safety recalls on it.
Either in 2008 or 2009, shortly after purchasing a brand new 2007 ford fusion, i was greeted with the first major issue of my brakes going out on me while driving.find out this was due to a defective master cylinder. The engine light turned on within 3-4 years of having the vehicle, and was found to be related to the thermostat, the engine would always run towards the cool end, never going above 1/3 of the way to the halfway mark. That was fixed after years of failed attempt.and all the while, i never had a functioning air condition unit and would have to repair yearly, and then found to be related the car always running too cool.over the past two years, i have had to replace the gasket twice, because oil would appear in places it should not (i always maintain my car by doing the oil changes, etc on time).this past sunday, i was driving and going around 70 mph when my car started to decelerate to 65, then 60, then would not go past 40 so i pulled off the interstate and drove back home.over the next couple of days i smelled burnt oil, and the same issue with oil being where it should be happened again.mechanic is telling me it is done, and after researching, this is not something unique to just my car.this is dangerous and people have reported many horrifying stores on the same issue, with some people's fusions combusting and stalling them on the highway.i did notify the ford company today of all the safety issues and other issues related to my car, just so they have it documented on their end as well. I am appalled this car does not have recalls other than the one related to the airbags, which they can not fix yet, posing my passenger at risk.
Abs brake failure. This is a follow up to my previous report. Ford does not have a new hcu module available to correct this malfunction. I had to pay the labor for three used modules to be installed before the abs system worked properly. Ford dealers continue to sell 2007 to 2009 fusion and milans with this potential dangerous problem.
Leaking abs pump, thus also sucks air in causing inefficient braking. Searched online and looks like lot of people have faced the same problem with the abs pump of related ford cars, lincoln, milan, fusion etc. The mentioned vehicle only has 90k miles on it. Its too early for abs pump to fail.
When driving slowly (15-25 mph) over a rough stretch of railroad tracks in the city, i applied my brakes only for the pedal to hit the floor to hear a grinding sound when i hit the bump. I had no ability to stop my car for 10-20 feet until i pumped the brake pedal enough to regain pressure. This has happened twice in the last 4 months and four times in the last 3 years. The pedal eventually regains pressure, but never holds firm when braking over a bump. This has also occurred while turning and applying the brake simultaneously.
This has been ongoing for over a year.the most recent event was 12/16/2016.after abs engages for any length of time, brakes go soft and there is no braking power until the floor, when they finally activate.pumping the brake itself a few times can temporarily harden the brakes.what fixed it the previous year [until another abs event] was doing a few hard emergency stops at a slow speed.this is no longer working and the only thing i can think of to do is take this to a dealer every time it activates and have them bleed the abs/brake system.i haven't taken this into the dealer, but from what i've been reading, it's the hcu unit that is leaving a valve open.brakes harden up again when the engine is turned off and put in park.again, there is very little or no braking power until well after the pedal is nearly fully depressed to the floor.
My problem is exactly as described in the open investigation nhtsa action number pe16017 called "extended braking distance".after engaging the abs due to icy and snowy conditions, my brake pedal became very "soft" and almost goes to the floor.the typical braking characteristics are changed dramatically, much greater force and distance are required to stop the car.this is very repeatable.pumpint the brakes did not immediately help, but eventually the pedal did come back to the normal position. During the summer of 2017 i must have had the same problem without realizing it, the shop replaced my master cylinder but as of yesterday it's obvious changing the master cylinder did not help. I see this as a major safety issue, i will not let my daughter drive this car again until this is fixed.
The contact owned a 2007 ford fusion. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle lost all brake function and rear-ended another vehicle. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the nose, neck, and hand. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the crash. The failure mileage was 80,000.
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.
From time to time my abs brake pedal goes to the floor unexpectedly and car is hard to stop. The pedal stays soft for a period of time or days and then returns to it's normal position. I've taken it to my mechanic but they can find nothing wrong.some things not right and it sounds similar to the problem with the 2007 fusion hybrid brake problem that was resolved with csp-10b13, tsb-09-22-11
When in motion, the brakes have to depressed further to the floor than when new. The master cylinder was changed out under warranty but the problem was still there.
Brakes - on many occasions while driving on the highway and city street i find i have to press the brake all the way to the floor for the car to fully stop and i have been in many close call fender benders.electrical - the left turn signal stopped working in route to work ,so i assumed the bulb blew out. However, when driving the car again the turn signal started working again. For the two weeks the left turn signal worked intermittently which made me very nervous when making left turns. As of now the left turn signal is working again with no intermittence and i don't know if/when the turn signal or something else will stop working out of the blue or why this happened in the first place.trunk leakage - the tire well in the trunk as well as the spare tire area was full of water and not sure where the leakage is coming from. I have had the car 9 years and don't recall water in that area. At this point i don't place items in the trunk for fear of it getting wet on a heavy rain days here in florida.vents - i had to remove the defrost vent above the dashboard because the lining that holds it in place is bent and warpeda/c - continues to malfunction, i have had the air serviced multiple times and when working it's great but then the air becomes less cool and goes completely hot. This is torture during the summer.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that he experienced a lag in his brake response upon depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated in relation to the failure. The contact then received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. Davidson ford of clay (3690 ny-31, liverpool, ny 13090) was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available for the recall remedy. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
My father owns a 2007 ford fusion for about 5 years. About a year ago, he began experiencing soft brake pedal issues. The brake pedal did not have pressure and go all the way down the floor.the braking distance is also poor. The car travels significantly farther and takes longer before it come to a complete stop.my father took the car to a local licensed mechanic for a routine brakes service. The brake pads and brake fluid were replaced but the soft brake pedal and poor braking still persisted. The mechanic did research on the vehicle and found that our issue is consistent to a known issue in the 2007 ford fusion antilock braking system (abs) hydraulic control unit (hcu) brakes system.my father said the brake issues occurred after the abs came on after braking on an un-even surface. The mechanic said he does not have the expertise to perform the tasks and recommend us to file a complaint.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving at any speed and depressing the brake pedal, the pedal traveled to the floorboard. The failure recurred numerous times without warning. The dealer diagnosed that the abs valve malfunctioned. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Soft brakes - 2007 ford fusionaccident in which car was totaled. Driving on to on ramp to interstate. Cars slowed in front of us, applied brakes and pedal went to the floor car wouldn't stop and we struck the vehicle in front of us.
A while ago i braked over a man hole cover and the anti lock brakes kicked in and i almost crashed into the car in front of me.ever since this happened the brakes push about 70% down before engaging. It seems something has changed with the abs system when they engage too easily. Ive inspected the brakes and noticed nothing wrong.
Two incidents while trying to stop on a wet road. One involved hitting a deer at about 50 mph.one involved hitting a tree about 45 mph.tried to stop but the brake pelal went completely to the floor with no resistance and zero braking. These brakes are faulty. If the brakes were working correctly neither incident would have happened. These cars are potential death traps. There was no police reports made because they were no required. But now the insurance co. Might be totalling the car...so we are out the value of this because of a bad design by ford. Why should we be out this ?perhaps its a blessing in disguise. I have noticed a lot of other complaints and you are investigating this issue. This problem has happened before with no incidents. Once while coming up to a stop sign.tried to stop and went right through a intersection where the speed limit was 55 mph.if there had been a car coming that could have been a potential for serious injury or death.why has nothing been done about making ford responsible ?
I want to add my name to the brake softening issue that occurs on some fusions after the abs is activated.this has happened several times and it takes days for the brakes to recover.the most recent time occurred last week and the brakes are still soft and the pedal goes to the floor before proper breaking occurs.i am very concerned because if i need to stop quickly to avoid an accident or pedestrian, i am afraid i won't be able to.please continue to investigate.due to the nature of this problem, i feel this issue should be a recall.feel free to contact me if you have additional questions about this issue.
On october 20, 2017 my elderly mother had traveled about 150 miles out of town. When traveling a two lane road a funeral procession was coming the opposite direction. She had pull the car half way off the road with one side off the road and the other on the road. When everyone started to go again the car in front of her came to a sudden stop. When my mother tried to stop she had no brakes. She tried to leave the road to avoid hitting the car in front of her but she ended up hitting the right corner of the car.. Thankfully my brother-in-law was behind her. He drove the ford fusion 150 miles using the emergency brakes for stopping her car.it was mostly interstate miles to get her home. If the brakes had not failed until she was on the interstate this could have been a fatal incident. Her 2007 ford fusion has 85,000 miles. She loved the car because it handles and rides so well even though the dash is buckling and coming apart. Now she is afraid of it. Her mechanic replaced the master cylinder which did not correct the problem. The car was taken to another mechanic who replaced the abs hydraulic control unit which corrected the issue. This is a rare part to fail and it is a real issue.
Major accident due to faulty brakes. I was driving with in a major intersection and traffic stopped suddenly and when i brake the car's brakes did not respond so i rear ended a vehicle in front of me. I even tried to avoid the vehicle by going outside the lane, but brakes delayed.
After hitting the brakes and engaging the abs system, the brakes have now gone "soft" as the hydraulic control unit has not reset itself and the backside valve remains open. I now must press the brakes about 90% of the distance to the floor every time in order for the vehicle to stop appropriately. After some basic research this seems to be a common issue with 07 and 08 ford fusions. The mechanic cannot figure out a sure fix and any suggested fix is very costly with no guarantee of success. Why is there no recall on this???? very unsafe!!
My brakes have gone soft after a incident this past winter when i applied the brakes while going over a rough road. I have replaced the brakes, you have to pump the brakes to get it to stop. The brakes function, they are soft when applied. My dealer, mathews ford located in oregon, ohio stated i need a new hydraulic control box.the dealer stated the cost to replace the part would be $1400.00. They also explained i am not the first to experience this problem. Please keep me informed regarding my complaint and possible recall.regards,[xxx][xxx]@gmail.com('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

When pulling into the garage at home, the brake pedal went to the floor
I have called the dealership for the takata recall and they continue to tell me that parts are not availableadditionally, last winter my abs braking system after a short slide on ice, the brake pedal became very soft and remains that way currently and i am concerned that if i have to brake hard for a severe stop that it will not stop properly.it happened when i braked on a street with ice, the abs kicked in as the tire slide on the ice, then afterwards the brake pedal has to be depressed significantly more towards the floor of the car that it used to from the inception of purchasing the car
I have experienced problems with the brakes on 2 occasions; both times the anti-lock has engaged briefly and then the brake pedal went "soft", traveling quite far.the first time i was driving over a rough spot and applied the brakes.the second time the anti-lock brakes engaged when i braked on an icy spot.
While driving on an uneven surface, the vehicle's brakes failed causing a rear end/front end collision.

The brakes went soft while approaching a red light and i could not stop. It felt like they 'blew out' and they made a low pitch scratching noise. The light then turned green, preventing an accident. I took the car into the ford dealership and they told me the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. This is a design-flaw on ford's part, and not a routine maintenance issue.

While driving unknown speeds, the brake pedal was applied, but felt soft and the vehicle failed to respond, the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (capitol ford located at 4490 cerrillos rd santa fe, nm 87507) where it was diagnosed that the hydraulic brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 147,622.updated 12/13/2017 *ln
My car just rolled off my driveway last night and took down my neighbors fence. I'm just glad it didn't hit the house and anyone got hurt. My car was locked and ebreak was engaged.
I noticed that my rear brakes were making noise on 8-25-08. I brought my car into the shop to get an oil change and have the brakes looked at. I was told my rear brakes were metal to metal on the inside pads. I needed new brake pads and rotors. I brought the car to the dealership since i only have 25,000 miles on the car and they replaced the rear brake pads and rotors but could not figure out what went wrong. I was then charged $310 to have them replaced. My front brakes are only worn down 10%.

I have just spent $230 to have the rear brake disks replaced on my 2007 ford fusion.they were so pitted from corrosion that they made a terrible noise when the brakes were applied.they might even have been a safety hazard for all i know. The front ones were replaced a month after i bought the car new in 2007 for the same reason.the car has been driven a mere 20,000 miles.the mechanic tells me that the front disks will probably need replacement again in a year or two.further, he tells me that it didn't matter that the warranty period was past ( by a couple of months), because this is considered a "wear" problem and, therefore, not covered by the warranty.is my experience unique among fusion owners?i bet not.clearly, ford has dropped the ball on its brake disk materials specification.i will certainly look at other brands before i even consider buying another ford.
The power booster in my 2007 ford fusion failed after only a few months of the brakes feeling "off" at rare, random times.it went out, rendering my brakes useless over 55 mph and caused me to rear end someone because the brakes would not stop the car.
I had purchased my 2007 ford fusion new and had a few oddities during the course of ownership. Within two years of ownership i had a battery short out. At three years i had to have a hefty brake service done because of a clicking noise when the brakes were applied. I noticed at four years that when i would remove the key from the ignition and open the door, the car would chime as if the key was still in it. The dealer had no idea what caused the chiming and it happened sporadically. The biggest issue was in late november of 2011, i was merging on to the highway and going to pass a vehicle; my car began to rev really high, but i was not accelerating that much. I shifted to neutral then back to fifth gear still no accelerating. At that moment the check engine came on and i noticed that the car was dead and costing. After i stopped on the side of the highway, the car would not start at all. Had it towed to the dealer, where they spent two weeks of tearing apart my motor. They determined that a bolt came loose releasing my timing belt destroying my engine. I purchased and extended warranty which saved me $7500 in replacement cost. After two more weeks i had the car back. I noticed belt noise when i started the car and the engine was louder than the original engine. Within a month the car would not start again. The chip in that key went out, and when i took it back to the dealer i complained about the chiming and the belts. They informed me; the key needed to be replaced (costing $300 dollars), my belts were from the original engine and now stretched out needed to be replaced, and the starter was going out. The mystery of the chiming was finally solved. Ford offered me employee pricing on a new car but would not by back my fusion. The dealership offered me nothing. This car was purchased and exclusively serviced there.

I have had my vehicle since april 2007.since that time my check brakes and brake fluid light keeps coming on while driving.i pull over and pop the hood to check my brake fluid levels and it is okay.i mentioned this twice to the service departments when bringing my vehicle in for routine oil changes and they have not found anything wrong or a reason for this light to keep coming on in the dash gauges.has anyone else had a similar problem and if so what is the solution.could this be a relay or switch that is faulty.i would just like to not have this light coming on 10-20 times a day while driving because it is annoying to have to keep pushing the reset button on my dash.the red brake symbol does however stay lit once i press the reset button.

2007 ford fusion 4 cylinder, manual transmission. Extremely difficult to control in winter weather. I have driven other manual transmissions on snow and ice with no problems. This car is terrible. I lost control once traveling about 20 mph and did $2000 front end damage. Suddenly, the front went slightly left and the rear went to the right as i spun around, hit a mailbox post and barely missed a telephone pole. Otherwise i like the car except for the noisy 4 cylinder engine (over 60 mph).

I parked my 2007 ford fusion at my house and i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. My steering wheel would not lock. I made sure that my car was in park, and still my key would not come put of the ignition. My boyfriend disconnected the battery, and tried to turn the key backwards and this was the only way the key could come out. We replaced the ignition switch, and the ignition switch sensor and it still not working. I would like for this to be reported and i would like to know how to fix the problem.
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 idler pulley bolt broke off and pulled the belt off (the belt did not break) making me lose power steering, and of course the battery would not hold a charge. This happened june 8, 2013, june 23, 2013 and again on september 11, 2013. Ford is telling me that there is no problem but the dealer that fixed my car the 1st two times now has it again and has a call into ford to see what the problem could be that it has happened to me 3 times in the past 2 1/2 months. All 3 times i was driving when it happened. The second 2 times it happened i heard a pop almost like i ran something over and immediately lost power steering. It almost has me afraid to put my kids in my car. Unfortunately i only have one car and can't afford a new one.
Abs control unit has recently gone bad. Since then, it takes much longer to stop. Ford mechanic said it is a very serious problem. I do not feel safe driving it anymore. Needs replacing asap.

Kayser ford in madison, wi was supposed to have replaced driver side air bag. I have concerns about their properly replacing, per the safety recall, as tim douglas boasted that "they have over 47 airbags" in back and this is not how the recall should work. The part needs to be ordered per the vin and received and put in, not some random spare extra parts in back, put in the vehicle, without knowing how long they have been sitting there. Further, this ford replaced the passenger airbag, and pulled on the bottom edge of the airbag compartment, causing a badly tented edge, that could obstruct the passenger air bag deployment or tear the bag if it is deployed, and affect the angle and trajectory of the deployment.this ford denied any responsibility. When we had it towed for other repairs including the driver side airbag, they not only did not perform the necessary repairs, but they caused harm to our car: damage to the front bumper, failed to refill fluids correctly, including transmission fluid and power steering fluid and did not replace the front brake calipers.the new serpentine belt is loose and makes a noise. They also drove our car over 30 miles, without our authorization and then lied on the invoice claiming that our car came in and left at the same mileage. Further, they left our car on a tow truck with the j hook hanging from the suspension and under tension, all night.
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 outstandingrepair 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, includingloss 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.
As i was driving, the vehicle steering wheel locked and the brakes went out.

I brought my ford fusion 2007 into tires plus to have a/c repaired.i had thought it was the a/c sensor in the dash, as they are notorious for failing in this make and model.i was right.despite this, i was not listened to (i'm just a dumb female, right?), and the mechanics replaced the compressor, clutch, and condenser, only to find a/c did not work.in the process, they also moved the motor mounts and the power pump and drained the car of all power steering fluid.i was sent on my way.i was literally unable to leave their lot due to no power steering!!the car also vibrated significantly now at stop lights.i was concerned they damaged the motor mounts as well.the steering has grown significantly stiffer and difficult to turn.firestone/tires plus agreed to repair the a/c sensor but only if i agreed to have it towed to a ford dealership in oconomowoc.i was up against the wall, as i was concerned about the power steering issue and safety.it is incredibly scary to have power steering fail when you are driving at 60 mph! the ford dealership treated me badly (no surprise) and told me "they could find nothing wrong with the power steering."i brought it to another ford dealership, under the direction of firestone, and now, i was told that yes, i am correct, the motor mounts needed replacing.they did a brief inspection of power steering as well as a flush, and told me there was "nothing wrong."when i went to pick up my car from the gordie boucher dealership in janesville, (i was treated poorly here as well), the motor mounts were replaced, fixing the vibration issue caused by firestone/tires plus, but the power steering is even stiffer and just as difficult to turn.please help.i am being given the run around from firestone as well as ford. No one wants to step up to the plate.i am concerned about our safety. I don't want my child injured.
On approximately may 12, 2010 as i parked my2007 ford fusion in parking lot of convenient store i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. I noticed my steering wheel would not lock. I returned home and my husband made sure the vehicle was in park and still the key would not turn all the way back so that the wheel could lock and key could be removed. He disconnected my battery post and then tried to turn the key backwards and this is the only way the key would turn back enough to lock the wheel and be removed. I called a local ford dealer and was told they did not have any reports of the fusion but did have reports about another model. I would like to have this reported because this can be costly. I am now convinced.
While driving the expressway my two front wheels turned right causing me to lose control of the vehicle.
The steering wheel of the ford fusion se puts excessive pressure on the carpel tunnels of the hands, when it is held naturally, which leads to numbness and tingling in the fingers. The steering wheel is hard and shaped more like a wagon wheel than a steering wheel. I have tried steering wheel covers, but they only help a little. The shape of the wheel is still a problem even with a padded steering wheel cover.
2007 ford fusion - cracks in front subframe effecting steeringyesterday i was informed by a ford dealer, don reid ford in maitland florida, that the likely explanation for the "notchy" feel in my steering wheel on my 2007 ford fusion is probably due to cracks at weld seams in the front subframe of the vehicle.i was told by another ford service tech that the issue could also be a bad steering column intermediate shaft as a result of this condition.this vehicle is 1 1/2 years old and so far the dealer is thinking it is not covered under warranty.i was told by this ford tech that the weld cracking problem is a "known issue" at ford and he agrees 100% that it is a safety issue.i can feel looseness / clunking in my steering when going over bumps and turning.this is not an alignment issue since, on the ford fusion, the front alignment is not adjustable.i am very concerned as to the safety of the vehicle and am being told it may cost over $1,000 to repair this obvious manufacturer defect.i first noticed this issue a few weeks ago on friday, august 1st while making a 3 point turn in a tight parking lot. The condition is progressively getting worse. Please help.
I was driving to grocery store made right hand turn and my steering wheel came off had to call my mechanic to put bac on lucky airbag didn't go off i would like ford to refund my money or buy it bac its a death trap will not drive it anymore
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.
Several (all wheel drive )awd ford vehicles ex. Fusion, edge, taurus use a(power transfer unit) ptu that fmoc call for no service needed, no drainplug only a fill port. The ptu is a basically a transfer case that small ford ford awd vehicles use to transfer engine power from the transmission to the rear wheels. The part is connected to the transmission surrounded by the engine, exhaust and catalytic converter, the ptu only hold a quart of lubricating fluid no cooling no service interval and all of the heat surrounding the unit bakes the lubrication causing lack of lubrication causing ptu and transmission failure. Repair quote from a ford dealership on 1/29/2020 with a ford remanufactured transmission and labor is $5000.00 repair. This unit failure is in a 2007 fusion with 92k miles other than the powertrain issue is asolid vehicle that perform great until the ptu and transmission failure with no warning. While driving at highway speeds the vehicle wheels locked up skidding the car to a stop and stalling the engine.now it cracks and pops and locks up the wheels.

Dash is lifting beneath the passenger side airbag.i'm afraid the air bag either may deploy unexpectedly or not at all.

Dashboard vinyl and padding is bulging away from the passenger airbag panel.this seems to be a safety issue as the airbag may not deploy properly in an accident, or may deploy at any time without an accident and injure the passenger.sometimes airbag light goes on.although the dashboard looks unsightly, this is not a cosmetic issue, it is a safety issue!!
Dashboard cover area over passenger side airbag is starting to bulge and i can see airbag.concerned about failure of airbag to deploy or premature deployment.internet search has found this is a common defect and apparently ford does not do anything if the vehicle is out of warranty, which, mine is.i am the original owner and the vehicle has never been in any type of mishap to cause this problem.lets get ford to repair or remedy the vehicles that have this fault.
Ford fusion 2007: center brake light blocks the driver's rearward field of vision.the car already has a very high trunk lid.placing the brake light just above the trunk, in the rear window,manages to block out any car directly behind - upward to 50 feet behind the car. The light should be mounted at the top of the rear window or at the top of trunk, just above the the bumper and integrated into the trunk lid.*updated 12/12/07
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 forthe 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.

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 anything, but when i called the main office, i was told that nothing had been reported.i never felt they cared what happened to me, because they didn't look into the first incident, but years later, i received an apology; give them another chance with my next purchase and they can't do anything now. Well, they never did anything and i would have been very surprised if they did.
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.
Inside door handle became inoperative requiring window to be lowered to open door from outside handle. Dealer installed new door handle due to internal handle cable retainer breaking. This part failure creates a very unsafe condition preventing a fast exit from vehicle in an emergency situation. This is unacceptable.

The paint began to fade off the hood to a white color. You can barely see any red now. The rest of the pint looks mint. I take very good car as it is my baby. This issue began when it was only 2 years old.i have always owned fords. I own 3 now. Ford, you owe me a hood paint job.
I was involved in an accident on 11-30-19 due to my brakes not allowing me to stop in time and hitting a car in front of me.the car was stopped in the road, waiting to turn, and i tried to stop but i couldn't in time.it caused enough cosmetic (only) damage to my car that my insurance company is filing it as a total loss due to the cost of repairs compared to the value of my car.i will probably be forced to keep it though since i can't afford a new car, since i'm on a fixed income.my daughter is helping me to understand what we have to go through to keep it, to get a salvage title and then apply for a rebuilt title.i just wanted to report this in case my car will be included in the ford brake recall.

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 nothit 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.

Upon exiting my vehicle, i opened the inside door handle as usual with no extra force when i felt a "snap" from within the handle. The handle stuck out and does not return back to the normal position after pulling on it. I rolled down my window to open my door using the exterior handle and had to reset the lock inside the door jam. When exiting my vehicle, i now have to pull the handle out halfway and then pull the lock above and the handle at the same time to disengage the lock and open the door. Besides this, the rest of the functionality seems to work as expected. Not sure why the inside of the handle is made out of plastic and not metal as i've read dozens of forums on the same issue and should be addressed by ford.
Dashboard on the passenger side of the car has become unglued and is now sticking up above the airbag panel. It appears that this could be safety issue if the airbag were to deploy.

"takata recall"my car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. The marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill maryland did try to look at it as to why i did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however i received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. I have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into ford located in camp springs maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. I have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated i should contact the nhts to complain.
Without warning or any known cause, the driver side door lock mechanism is jammed, thus preventing me from exiting the vehicle. I have to take down the electronic window on that door, and pull the handle from the outside. This is a serious safety issue that prevents me from immediately getting out if the car in case of emergency, especially when i'm carrying my 10-year-old daughter to and from school or extracurricular activities. I have checked online, and this seems to be a common complaint for owners of the ford fusion se 2007. There definitely needs to be a recall. This just happened out of the blue. Please assist. It is not fair that ford customers should have to pay for something we did not cause. Thank you.

I went to get out of my car when i got home from work on friday and my inside door handle broke. Luckily i was parked and at home when this occurred. This could have been bad if it was a situation where i had to get out of the car in a hurry and was not able to. I think ford should offer a recall on this problem cause this could be a deadly situation.

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.
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.

I have a 2007 ford fusion and all four of the door handles have broken and have read countless forums about others with the same problem. Am wondering why there hasn't been a recall.
The open handle from in car on driver's side door broke inside door panel. Unable to get out from inside car. If an accident were to occur i would be unable to escape from vehicle.

This needs to be recalled and a proper fix provided as it is due to faulty design and is a safety risk.

Drivers door latch is not working from the inside. Must lower window and open from outside. Car was parked when incident happen.
All four of the interior door handles have broken, they are plastic. Then just this week you cannot lock the car from the inside.
The interior drivers door handle does not open the door. I have to unlock the door manually & reach to the exterior door handle to open the door.
This has happened three times in the last six months. While driving at highway speeds the hood randomly unlatches. Thankfully the safety latch kept the good from completely opening. This could have been very dangerous. It just happened to us today in fact. I hope the service agreement will cover to fix the problem.i see that another person complained of this same problem on this site on 2010.

2007 ford fusion - cracks in front subframe effecting steeringyesterday i was informed by a ford dealer, don reid ford in maitland florida, that the likely explanation for the "notchy" feel in my steering wheel on my 2007 ford fusion is probably due to cracks at weld seams in the front subframe of the vehicle.i was told by another ford service tech that the issue could also be a bad steering column intermediate shaft as a result of this condition.this vehicle is 1 1/2 years old and so far the dealer is thinking it is not covered under warranty.i was told by this ford tech that the weld cracking problem is a "known issue" at ford and he agrees 100% that it is a safety issue.i can feel looseness / clunking in my steering when going over bumps and turning.this is not an alignment issue since, on the ford fusion, the front alignment is not adjustable.i am very concerned as to the safety of the vehicle and am being told it may cost over $1,000 to repair this obvious manufacturer defect.i first noticed this issue a few weeks ago on friday, august 1st while making a 3 point turn in a tight parking lot. The condition is progressively getting worse. Please help.
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.

I drive a 2007 ford fusion.the car is a "beast" to handle on roads that have icy ruts.i live in minnesota and this has been a terrible year for ice.if i hit an icy patch with one side of my car and the rest of the road is free of ice, it feels like the back end of the car will spin and i will lose control.top speed if there are any icy spots is 25 to 30 mph.(the rest of the traffic passes me; i pull off to the side of the road to let traffic pass.)my husband and i went to complain to the ford dealership and were told by a salesperson that they are aware of the problem and have experienced that same "fishtailing" experience themselves.when asked why ford has not addressed this issue, we were told not enough people have complained. We have checked "blogs" on-line and have found that this is a common complaint from fusion owners.we were told at the dealership that "this is just the way it is" and there wasn't anything they could do about it.would you please investigate this issue?ford and its dealerships are sticking their heads in the sand even though they know this is a significant safety issue for fusion drivers.

A valve stem on my 2007 ford fusion leaked and need to be replaced.
Se v6, tires:when i inflate the tires to the pressure recommended by ford on the door sticker, the result is rapid tire wear on the outsides of the tires (under inflated). When i inflate the tires according to the tire manufacturers recommendation on the sidewall, the tires do not wear out on the outside (under inflated), nor in the middle (over inflated). Ford recommends a tire pressure that is 9 psi lower than the tire manufacturer recommends. Apparently they did not learn from firestone that the tires can fail due to overheating when they are under inflated, resulting in blow outs at freeway speed and deaths due to the resulting accidents. Nor did they change their ways as a result of damage awards for lawsuits due to under inflated firestone tire failures. Perhaps the damage awards were too small.
Our 20 year old son was driving home from college when his left front tire blew out.he was able to maintain control and get to the side of the road and call roadside assistance.the rim was damaged in the process.after ordering a new rim and wheel, i was going to drive it to the dealership when we noticed that the left rear tire was now flat.once we were able to get enough air in it to drive to the dealership, we did.at the dealership it was discovered that all the valve stems were either cracked or leaking, so they all had to be replaced.we were unaware that the 2007 fords had faulty valve stems, had we known this, we would have replaced them for safety concerns.we were lucky, only one valve stem broke while our son was driving and he maintained control, the 2nd valve stem lost air while parked in our drive.this could have been much worse and i shudder to think of what might have happened.

I own a 2007 ford fusion. Putting this short i had a flat tire on drivers front on july 21, 2008 went to get it fixed the technician told me it was the valve stem, had to miss 3 hours of work , i didn't think much of it at the time . Then on august 23, 2008 only one month later i had just entered the freeway heard my tire blow on the back right luckily had an exit right there slowly drove off the freeway found my tire blown, we were fortunate i didn't lose control and get into a crash, had to call aaa roadside service the technician again says it was a cracked valve stem, i'm like what again, next day i had to go purchase a brand new tire which i didn't have money for, then 2 days later august 27, 2008 getting ready for work in the morning my neighbor comes to my door tells me my drivers side rear tire was flat, i'm like what again, sure enough it was flat i had to call aaa roadside service again, this time i looked sure enough the valve stem was cracked and the technician verified this. I called my work and told them i'm going back to the dealer where i purchased the car and show them. I showed all documentation of all the other tire troubles and showed the tire that just went flat, im sure he knew about the recall, never said a word he said they would take a look and he was going to check the other front tire that hadn't been checked. 2 hours later he said no charge and he fixed both valve stems. So i am just trying to find out how to get my money back or compensated for all that i went through and the money i had to spend to buy a new tire and fix flats , it'like i had no idea about this valve stem recall till a friend told me she had just seen a report on consumer reports which led me to you. Please let me know what can be done here. We were fortunate to have had no accident someone else might not be so lucky.

Takata recallit has been 15 months since i received my recall notice and i have yet to receive the second notice that parts are available. This is beyond unacceptable. The passenger side on the console is swelling around the edge of the airbag and the i'm scared to death that the airbag is going to explode at any moment. I don't let anyone sit in the front passenger seat because of the danger. I also tried to sell the car privately with full disclosure of the recall and the faulty abs module that sill hasn't been recalled. No one would buy it. Four different car dealers told me they wouldn't take it as a trade in because of the airbag and other known issues with this model year fusion. I'm stuck with this deathtrap until the end apparently because ford doesn't care or they'd buy the pos back.i'll never buy a ford again and i'll advise others to take their business to chevy/gmc.i'm searching for a lawyer to sue ford motor company.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving 35 mph, the brakes failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. The contact sustained minor bruises that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center and the body damages were repaired. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The idler pulley bolt has broken on my car four times.the bolt keeps breaking causing the idler pulley to be sideways and making the belt squeak (that's how i know it has happened).the belt has never came off because i always stopped when i heard it and had the car towed to the dealership.the first time it had to be fixed was 3/27/15 at 134173 miles.it broke again on 5/25/18 at 157899 miles.then once again 9/28/18 at 159283 miles.it was towed into the dealership today 6/4/19 with 161231 miles. I have seen multiple complaints on the internet for this same concern.this could be a serious issue if someone was driving down the road and it broke!i have complained to ford motor company and they say there is nothing they can do and there is no permanent fix.they told me i could file a complaint with y'all.
Either in 2008 or 2009, shortly after purchasing a brand new 2007 ford fusion, i was greeted with the first major issue of my brakes going out on me while driving.find out this was due to a defective master cylinder. The engine light turned on within 3-4 years of having the vehicle, and was found to be related to the thermostat, the engine would always run towards the cool end, never going above 1/3 of the way to the halfway mark. That was fixed after years of failed attempt.and all the while, i never had a functioning air condition unit and would have to repair yearly, and then found to be related the car always running too cool.over the past two years, i have had to replace the gasket twice, because oil would appear in places it should not (i always maintain my car by doing the oil changes, etc on time).this past sunday, i was driving and going around 70 mph when my car started to decelerate to 65, then 60, then would not go past 40 so i pulled off the interstate and drove back home.over the next couple of days i smelled burnt oil, and the same issue with oil being where it should be happened again.mechanic is telling me it is done, and after researching, this is not something unique to just my car.this is dangerous and people have reported many horrifying stores on the same issue, with some people's fusions combusting and stalling them on the highway.i did notify the ford company today of all the safety issues and other issues related to my car, just so they have it documented on their end as well. I am appalled this car does not have recalls other than the one related to the airbags, which they can not fix yet, posing my passenger at risk.
There is a problem with my car that is very dangerous, and could be life threatening to me and others. Under certain conditions my brakes will not work.it happens when the road is wet or has snow on it.a few different things has happened which apparently depends how slippery the road is. When braking sometimes there will be a odd noise which i think is the safety braking feature, but even that doesn't seem to work correct.the worst is this. Again, when slick or slippery roads.there have been numerous times when trying to brake i have lost all braking.the brake pedel goes completely to the floor. On a few occasions this happened while trying to stop before a stop sign and ended up in the middle of the road. This has happened going at a speed of 10 to 55 mph. Twice this happened where the stop sign was at a road that was 55 mph. You can imagine what could have happened. I have read online that others are having the same problem.why has nothing been done about this potentially deadly situation ? for crying out loud. Does there have to be deaths before action is taken ?the car was taken to a local dealer and they said the brakes needed to be blead. They seemed to be aware of this problem....again, why and the hell is nothing being done about it ?next i am going to write my state representative or someone who can make something happen.i believe i wrote to you before, but lost the paperwork that came.but it doesn't look like nothing was being done about it anyway. Oh, and when the brakes were blead by the dealer it made no difference.at least when other car manufacturers have recalls something appears to be done about it . Here in the good ole usa things seem to drag on and on and on.so does that mean foreign manufacturers are more considerate for our safety than own country ? i want action.
Door handle driver side gas tank air bags recallbut no door handle
Idler pulley when driving the idler pulley broke i was making a left turn i end up hitting an island breaking to my tie rods on the outer tie rods on both fronts this is the fifth idler pulley ford motor credit charge me $500 to fix it it's been less than 200 miles i took it back and they want to charge me $165 for a diagnostic for the same problem this is ridiculous
Safety issues and recalls
In oct 2018 ford replaced recalled airbags bit after i got my car back i have a error light on dash that gives a code b2290 which is still stating that airbags are faulty.
Brakes - on many occasions while driving on the highway and city street i find i have to press the brake all the way to the floor for the car to fully stop and i have been in many close call fender benders.electrical - the left turn signal stopped working in route to work ,so i assumed the bulb blew out. However, when driving the car again the turn signal started working again. For the two weeks the left turn signal worked intermittently which made me very nervous when making left turns. As of now the left turn signal is working again with no intermittence and i don't know if/when the turn signal or something else will stop working out of the blue or why this happened in the first place.trunk leakage - the tire well in the trunk as well as the spare tire area was full of water and not sure where the leakage is coming from. I have had the car 9 years and don't recall water in that area. At this point i don't place items in the trunk for fear of it getting wet on a heavy rain days here in florida.vents - i had to remove the defrost vent above the dashboard because the lining that holds it in place is bent and warpeda/c - continues to malfunction, i have had the air serviced multiple times and when working it's great but then the air becomes less cool and goes completely hot. This is torture during the summer.
"takata recall":this recall has been in effect for years and the dealership still does not have the passenger frontal airbag inflator replacement part, nor can they provide me with an estimated date they expect to receive the parts and repair my vehicle.the only option they offered was to add me to a waiting list, which i've been on since i was notified of the recall years ago.in addition, the dashboard is warped due to high heat around the passenger side airbag.thru research, i discovered that the ammonium nitrate used in takata airbags can become unstable over time, especially after exposure to temperature fluctuations and periods of constant high humidity.i live in nc, which is zone b one of the three priority zones.the dealer has offered no remedy and i was told that they no longer have any loaner cars available.this the only vehicle i have for transportation so i have no choice but to drive it.a remedy to this problem should be provided immediately before more people die or are seriously injured.
From 42,000 to 45,000 miles, over 3 month period, creaking, squeaking suspension sounds at low speed have become progressively worse to the point it is incredibly loud, distracting and annoying.examination by mechanics yields no explanation.this seriously affects the resale value. I wouldn't buy it, sounding like this, and so far unable to repair it.would appreciate any advice/help offered.
"takata recall"the vehicle was, in motion, on ahighway, braking, due to icy weather. The problem that created the unsafe condition was road conditions, neither airbags deployed, vehicle first hit the right side of the bridge the went across lanes hit the right side the ended up horizontal in the roadway when struck by an f150.i believe airbags should have deployed causing less damage to my daughter and her friend as in the owners manual states it as a safety feature.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*pm
I was involved in an accident on 11-30-19 due to my brakes not allowing me to stop in time and hitting a car in front of me.the car was stopped in the road, waiting to turn, and i tried to stop but i couldn't in time.it caused enough cosmetic (only) damage to my car that my insurance company is filing it as a total loss due to the cost of repairs compared to the value of my car.i will probably be forced to keep it though since i can't afford a new car, since i'm on a fixed income.my daughter is helping me to understand what we have to go through to keep it, to get a salvage title and then apply for a rebuilt title.i just wanted to report this in case my car will be included in the ford brake recall.
2007 ford fusion seat belts and side airbag. The consumer believed that the complaint submitted by another consumer regarding the seat belts and air bagsnot being safe was entirely unfounded and lacked any support. The consumer believed the complaint should be removed.
Driver side, rear door opened, passengers exited. I, myself, closed the door behind them and the door simply flew back open. Door will not latch. Door will not shut. Not manually, not by key. Locking mechanism on car will not work. I had to drive home in the back seat and literally hold the door shut so that my passengers would not fall out of the car. I have 3 children and one on the way. I cannot sit in the back and hold the door shut if i need to use the car. Car is well maintained, all service's done strictly by ford. I was quoted a price range of $3-400to get it fixed.
I have been driving with a bad throttle body unit which causes the car to go into "limp mode", this is happening 4-7 times a day. I was told about a recall for this very dangerous and untimely issue. I was told that the nhtsa had listed a recall for this problem. However, i am not included. My car does this with no warning! it is very dangerous! i was just on the interstate when this happened in front of an18 wheeler. Very dangerous indeed!
I went to open my driver side door and the handle snapped back at me. I went to open the door again and now the handle is broken. I have to open my window and open my door from the outside. Also, with the door being broken my car locks have a mind of there own. Sometimes the locks lock by themselves and sometimes the alarm is activated by itself. My main concern is that if i get into an accident or there is a fire, my first instincts is to open my door and get out of the car. I can't do this without opening the window and putting my hand outside the window and opening the door from the outside. I just hope i am not panicking to much that i remember how to get out of the car. I feel this a real safety issue. I used google to see if there were any recalls and found nothing, all i found is that quite a few people with ford fusions are having the same problem. I am not the only person with this problem. I contacted the dealership and they were no help then i contacted the ford corp. And all they did was take my info.
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.
Brakes slow to stop after abs had been enacted on bumpy city street surface (moving)
The passenger side air bag is bulging up out of the dash
On my 2007 ford fusion which i have owned since 2015, whether stationary or in motion the sun visors will not stay in position and will droop, causing road visibility issues, making it difficult to see the road or block the sun properly.it has been an issue since the car was purchased.
Key gets locked up in ignition not allowing removal and will randomly lock steering wheel
I was on the thruway when the car started to stall a green wrench light went on. I pulled over and shut the car off then i stared the car it was fine. The car had 24,000 miles on it. When the car had 33,110 on it i was on the thruway it seemed to stall and lose power. I limped home. I called ford they said i have to bring it in but the green light must be on. To test it. The cars green light came on the car started to stall and lose power so i drove it to the ford dealership. The car lost power it will go 21 mph. It has 33,226 miles on it. The dealership said no recall on it and no customer satisfaction program. So i was told to drive it home yes drive it home and come back in two days.
There is a constant source of water that lines my passanger side carpet floor, anything that is on the floor soaks the water up and gets wet and the carpet is always damp with liquid, i'm told it's something with the air conditioning but it happens when i use the heat as well.
Driving at 70 mph on the interstate, car suddenly shudders, wrench light comes on. I immediately pulled onto the nearest exit ramp and drove at reduced speed until able to stop. Shut off car, then turned ignition key to check diagnostics. All good? started car, drove maybe 50 ftwhen wrench and emissions lights came on and car went into 'limp' mode.got off of ramp and shut off car for 5 min. Restarted car, emissions light on only, but car was drive-able drove 20 miles @ 60-65mph with no problem until i got home. Outside temp was -5f. Next morning checked car with obd2 diagnostic tool. A 'p2110' code appeared, signifying tac/pcm isssue/s. After checking earlier nhtsa records, this has happened many times!my wife uses the same car, and if what happened to me happened to her, most likely the results would have been fatal!!!is someone dying have to be what will get a recall?please do something.thank you.
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.
Drivers door latch once open it will not lock back latch will stay sticking out unable to set alarm or lock with key boob.
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!
I was driving to work on december 11, 2013 down rte 3a at approximately 8am.when i took a left onto westford rd., and accelerated up the hill the vehicle suddenly cut out to the point it would not go any further. I almost was hit from a car from behind me who also was accelerating up the hill, but fortunately he swerved around me in time.i called triple aaa and they towed it to palmer''s automotive.according to the mechanic, thediagnostic showed one of the coil packs malfunctioned.. Upon replacement, the coil pack overheated and blew again.finding it odd, the mechanic contacted ford.working with the ford technician, a bulletin was found stating the car had a known issue with the pcm, the computer module for the vehicle.ford told the mechanic, the part would be there in 2 weeks.2 weeks went by and on christmas eve, our mechanic was told there is a national back order on the part and it would be 2 to 4 more weeks.also, the repair would cost in the vicinity of 1700.00 dollars.it is now 1/12/14 and we still have no car and no word on when it will be fixed.ford''s recent ads infuriate me on tv about their reliability etc compared to other brands.the warrantee expired at 80k miles and this car has 84k on it.we are still making payments on a car that is inoperable for the past 6 weeks, as well as facing a huge repair bill, which adds insult to injury.most importantly, i think about what may have happened if i had decided to take the highway instead of rte 3a to work that day, the results may have been tragic.
The contact owns 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the floor mat shifted to the brake pedal and caused the contact to crash. The vehicle was totaled and a police report was filed. Injuries were sustained and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.
When accelerating from 30 mph to 55 mph with the accelerator pedal to the floor, i released the accelerator at about 50 mph. The car continued at full throttle for about 5 more seconds while i moved my foot to the brake and began to attempt to slow the vehicle. The vehicle overshot the intended speed by about 20 mph before it began to slow down to the intended speed of 55 mph. This could have caused a rear end collision if there had been other traffic on the freeway bides the truck tailgating me when i was doing 30 mph. The vehicle is a 2007 ford fusion se, v6 with automatic transmission.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that upon shifting into reverse with the brakes depressed, the vehicle surged backward until shifted into park. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but they were unable to diagnose the failure. The failure recurred on an intermittent basis. The contact also stated that in the early stages, the failure only occurred when the heater was activated. Over time, the failure progressed and began to occur when the air conditioner was activated until the failure progressed to a sporadic failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but again, they were unable to diagnose the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While drivingapproximately 30 mph she engaged the brake pedal and the vehiclebegan to accelerate and lunge forward. When she appliedpressure to the brakes, the vehicle stopped; yet, when she released the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated. She stated thatthis was an on going failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealerand they installed a device to capture the failure. The dealerreplaced the throttle body but she stated that she was still experiencing the failure. The vehicle was being repaired when thecomplaint was filed. She also stated that for the pastyear whenever she shifted gears into park the rpms increased up to 4,000-5,000. The failure mileage was 22,212 and the currentmileage was 35,800.
The engine began intermittently revving/accelerating after the car was placed in park, although nothing is near or touching the gas pedal.after turning the car off and restarting, engine idle returns to normal.the engine speed has increased from under 1000 rpm (normal) to 4000 rpm before i've shut the car off (it appeared that it would just keep increasing).problem first occurred in feb. 2009 and the car was brought to the dealer.the dealer found no computer codes and could not recreate the problem.the problem continued to occur roughly once or twice a month, each time under different circumstances (no easily identifiable trigger), until oct. 2009, when i requested the dealer replace the throttle body.this repair seemed to work, but then again, in jan. 2010, the engine revved on its own after the car was placed in park. My concern is that this problem will worsen and possibly occur while the car is in drive.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without any warning. The contact pulled over and after restarting the vehicle the acceleration became sluggish. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but the cause of the failure was undetermined. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 105,364.
I was driving using cruise control today going 60 mph on a highway with my 2007 ford fusion. All of a sudden, i felt the car jolt. I pressed the gas, but nothing happened as if the car was in neutral. I had to coast to the side of the road. I noticed that the warning light in the shape of a wrench was on. I turned off the car. When i turned it back on, the light was off and the car worked just fine. I looked up the description of the light in the owner's manual and it said it was related to a fault in the powertrain or throttle. I saw where several people have reported this exact problem with 2010 models of the fusion. I just had to report that it happened on my 2007 model as well. I will be taking it in to get looked at. This is very dangerous. I could have wrecked or caused an accident because i could not control the speed of my car at the time. Someone will be killed if this problem is not resolved and a recall issued. I was really scared. There needs to be a recall. I will not be using cruise control until i am confident that my car is completely fixed.
Driving along a four lane highway at approximately 60mph when suddenly the vehicle stopped accelerating, i had to put it in neutral, letting it coast, turn the engine off and quickly back on. It allowed me to continue normally after that. However this problem has been occurring intermittently ever since. When it gets really bad, it will repeat the problem anywhere from 5-10 minutes after i turn it and back on and the traction control and maintenance lights will come on. After awhile the check engine light will come and stay on for a couple of days. Had a diagnostics run on it while the check engine light was on and it indicated that the throttle control system was malfunctioning. Ford wants over $600 for parts and labor to fix the problem which i think is ridiculous considering how many others are having the same problem. Will be contacting the regional sales manager regarding this.
I was driving at about 60 mph and suddenly i felt the vehicle have some type of loss of power. I tried to press on the gas pedal and the car would not accelerate and the rpm odometer was "jumping" from 1 to 1.5 and the idle was horribly rough.the motor sounded like it was a forced idle. I pulled to the side of the road and opened the hood to see what was going on, i checked everything to see if maybe there was anything loose or something in there and there was nothing that i could see spot on or notice spot on. I did some research on the 'symptoms" and cleaning or forcing shut the throttle actuator was the number one thing that kept showing. So i pulled everything apart and cleaned it and sprayed some wd-40. Once i out everything back together i then started the vehicle and the wrench light turned off and it was running like normal.
Upon driving the speed became erratic and the car slowed down very quickly requiring me to pullover quickly for fear of a rear end collision. At that time i saw the wrench light on my dash. I feel that is a hazard that should be corrected under the warranty or as a recall from ford company.the wait for parts is almost a month, ford should give a loaner car as i am afraid to drive my car in traffic.thank you
Driving 60-70 mph down an interstate and car loses total acceleration control. You can put the gas to the floor and nothing happens. Rpm doesn't move and no acceleration. Have to coast off the interstate. Thought it was the gas, put new gas in the car. Went to tn on friday had to "coast" over to the shoulder 3 times. Came home yesterday had to pull over 6 times for the same problem. Scary scary scary!!!!! will not drive my car again until the problem is fixed.
I was driving down my side street (25mph residential road) when the engine began to lag.it eventually stalled to where i pulled to the side of the street.vehicle turned off and would not start.it would turnover but would began to idle erratically and would shut off within 5-15 seconds.i tried a few trouble shooting techniques but eventually gave up and took it to an auto shop.they connected the code reader and found 3 different faults with the throttle body assembly.i was told that these are on back order until june 18th.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph the vehicle suddenly decelerated. The contact turned the vehicle off and was able to drive without the failure recurring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic stated the throttle body assembly would had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,627.

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?
Doing approx. 55 mph when vehicle suddenly decelerated.coasted into a parking lot.turned car off, waited and restarted it.it ran fine after that but i took it to the ford dealer who said it needed a throttle body replacement at a significant cost to me. Since i was on a highway in traffic at the time of this incident it could have caused an accident.the dealer told me that other vehicles were experiencing the same issue with deceleration.i feel that ford knows about this problem and should issue a recall.
While l was driving on wet pavement with the speed control engaged and set to 35 mph, i rounded the top of a hill and the vehicle began to speed up as usual. I applied the brakes lightly to maintain 35 mph and the speed control failed to disengage and spun the left front tire until black smoke was rolling out from under the fender. It lasted a few seconds before it released. I had a ford dealer check the brakes to see if the left front caliper had a problem and they did not find a problem. They also had no solution for the speed control failing to disengage.note: the daytime phone is useless since i am assigned to another building at work away from the phone on my desk.updated 01/28/14*lji contacted ford once again after the third throttle problem. The third time involved the speed control burning rubber on a wet road after i applied the brakes to maintain speed going down hill with the speed control set for 35. Their response was to ignore the problem as usual. They didn't do anythingfor any of my complaints even when the car was under warranty. The dealer would not ever replace a broken plastic door handle in the inside until it broke off completely. After they replace it with another plastic handle the spring cut through the plastic again, but i realized that the piece of plastic the broke off was still in the recessed area for the handle and would have caused it to break off completely again if i had not removed it. The chrome also pealed off and cut my fingers again so i scraped it off the top of the handle. They still haven't changed the design of that. For over $21,000 that i paid for the car, they could have at least made one out of aluminum.
Wrench lightflashes on the dashas the car slows to 20 mpr or less, gas pedal to the floor and it wont go. I shut the car off and turn it back on it runs untilit slows down againanother 20-30 miles. This year should've been recalled as the 2009-2012 models.
Went to pass a slow moving vehicle and when gas pedal was pressed the vehicle responded with no power, shuddered, and stalled.had towed to a local trusted mechanic who was unable to diagnose a specific problem because the he was getting "crazy problem codes".vehicle was towed to a ford dealer who discovered the coils were destroyed due to a pcm failure.coils and pcm replaced at the cost of $2,200.driving home after vehicle was "repaired" check engine light came on.took vehicle back to dealership, diagnosed a catalytic converter failure. Catalytic converter failed due to the pcm/coil failure.vehicle will not pass emissions inspection until converter is repaired/replaced at an additional cost of $2,000+.dealership indicated that nothing could have been done to prevent the pcm/coil failed, it "just happened". Basic research shows that this happens with enough frequency that ford must be aware of the problem. Vehicle 2007 ford fusion v6 awd.
Several (all wheel drive )awd ford vehicles ex. Fusion, edge, taurus use a(power transfer unit) ptu that fmoc call for no service needed, no drainplug only a fill port. The ptu is a basically a transfer case that small ford ford awd vehicles use to transfer engine power from the transmission to the rear wheels. The part is connected to the transmission surrounded by the engine, exhaust and catalytic converter, the ptu only hold a quart of lubricating fluid no cooling no service interval and all of the heat surrounding the unit bakes the lubrication causing lack of lubrication causing ptu and transmission failure. Repair quote from a ford dealership on 1/29/2020 with a ford remanufactured transmission and labor is $5000.00 repair. This unit failure is in a 2007 fusion with 92k miles other than the powertrain issue is asolid vehicle that perform great until the ptu and transmission failure with no warning. While driving at highway speeds the vehicle wheels locked up skidding the car to a stop and stalling the engine.now it cracks and pops and locks up the wheels.
While driving on a highway the wrench light illuminated and i experienced an unexpected, sudden loss of engine power and acceleration.the vehicle rapidly decreased in speed from highway speeds to barely being able to maintain speeds of 20mph. Engine power and vehicle speed are severely and rapidly reduced without warning while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are not effected.no sign of the issue the next day, once the car is turned off and back on.this seems to be a widespread and documented problem with the electronic throttle body including an investigation and two separate "customer satisfaction programs" to repair model years 2009-2013. Apparently the same throttle body part is interchangeable from years 206-2009 so likely it could be widespread in these model years.this is incredibly dangerous and needs to be a full recall.
I previously thought it was just my operation, the floor mat interfering with the gas pedal, or my imagination as it had happened twice before over the last 18 months.however, the incident yesterday was quite evident without any other outside influence.i had been driving in our rural area using the cruise control of our fusion.i tapped on the brake to disengage the control, and slowed to a stop sign.after traffic cleared i stepped on the accelerator pedal to cross the intersection.as i started to move, the pedal dropped noticeably from the sole of my shoe and the fusion immediately accelerated at a rate greater than my desire and not under my control. I immediately disengaged the cruise control via the steering wheel on/off button and all operation resumed to normal.
I was driving my 2007 fusion awd in cruise controlwhen forward motion stopped ( i was in the 3rd of 5 lanes in traffic) a trouble light came on. I pulled to side of road. Car would not move. Restarted car and everything reset and able to drive . Proceeded home 200 miles . It did it again about 5 miles from home rest. Dealershiprecalibrated module.
I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive i was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, i was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about5 min before happening again. I ended up pulling of the road 8 times untili just decided to call aaa and pay additional fees to tow my car into houston. It was scary and def. A safety hazard for anyone experiencing this malfunction. I took the car to get a diagnostic and sure enough it's a throttle body failure. I drove today with no issues, but i am sure it will occur again very soon. Ford really needs to recall and think about their customer's safety.
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 anything, but when i called the main office, i was told that nothing had been reported.i never felt they cared what happened to me, because they didn't look into the first incident, but years later, i received an apology; give them another chance with my next purchase and they can't do anything now. Well, they never did anything and i would have been very surprised if they did.
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.
Throttle bodyi was sitting at a stop light and when the light went green i pressed the accelerator and my steering column began to shake and my car would not accelerate past 20 miles per hour. I was terrified because all the other cars took off and i could barely move. The car shook like it was going to fall apart.after barely coasting into a nearby ford dealership the informed me that it was the throttle body. I replaced the part and it cost me $600.00.
My husband was driving and the gas pedal stuck he went thru 2 red lights almost hit a car pulled the e brakes stepped on the brake pedal put it in neutral hit the gas pedal to get it to unstick and nothing but it finally stopped. We just bought the car 2 weeks ago. We have 30 day warranty and extended. The dealer had it towed to a mechanic they hooked it up to there diagnostic machine and nothing came up so they took it to ford and nothing came up on there machine and test drove it and nothing happened. Now they wont do anything because this "machine" says nothing they didn't even take it apart. So i have a disabled husband a 4 year old and 2 month old that i have to drive in this car. It is unsafe. What if it happens again and we really get hurt. I just want it fixed its a safety issue now. Its like no one believes us. We are not trying to get rid of the car besides this we love the car. It took us a long time to find this car. But its unsafe we just want it fixed and replaced please help.
The car never gave any indication of a problem. No check engine light, smoking, not even oil usage for that matter. I checked the oil every time i got gas because i bought it 3 weeks prior. Then was driving to interstate to work when i hear jt startclicking immediately got a oil light then dies and was stuck on interstate cars zoomomg by at 80 if i were in the center lane i would be dead.
The vehicle does not respond to the commands of the driver in a timely fashion and the response is unpredictable. While waiting to make a left turn from a four lane undivided city street, a pedestrian crossed in front of me in a crosswalk. After the pedestrian had crossed, i proceeded to make a left turn but the pedestrian did not stop. Instead, he made a sudden turn to his right and proceeded across the crosswalk without looking. I stopped part way across the inside lane of oncoming traffic. The pedestrian stopped in the middle of the crosswalk, looked at me and waved while oncoming traffic approached. He then proceeded the rest of the way across the crosswalk. In order to avoid a head on collision from a car that turned left into the oncoming inside lane and raced toward me, i gave the accelerator a quick nudge part way down. The vehicle redlined the engine and burned rubber. The same input from the driver two days before when it was cold would have resulted in a sluggish response. I released the accelerator, and the vehicle continued to spin the tires on the dry pavement, propelling the car forward toward the pedestrian who was about one step from the sidewalk on the other side of the street. I barely managed to steer the vehicle away from the pedestrian and finish the turn with my foot off the accelerator.in general, the vehicle does not slow down for quite some time when i release the accelerator. The only way to slow down in a timely manner is with the brakes.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion.while driving 1 mph in reverse, the contact stated that the accelerator pedal intertwined with her foot and sandal.as a result, the vehicle accelerated and crashed into the rear driver side bumper of another vehicle.as of september 28, 2007, the dealer and manufacturer had not inspected the vehicle.the contact felt that the design of the accelerator pedal caused the failure.the failure mileage was 27,000 and current mileage was 28,500.
When activating the cruise control on a brand new 07 sel awd 3.0 fusion the gas pedal had a dead range of about half way and could not get acceleration. Took my foot off the pedal and the drivetrain " clunked " when i put my foot back on the pedal. The wrench symbol illuminated and i had to pull off the highway due to no acceleration. After i turned off the engine and checked the fuses, engine compartment for anything obvious i re-started the engine and the wrench light went off and everything was fine. Imagine being in traffic unable to move.
I was driving on a east on a country road in the morning and the sun was in my eyes. I pushed the visor up against the windshield and it would not stay in place against the windshield. It returned to the vertical position, where it most obstructs visibility. Because of the position of the visor, i did not see a deer up ahead till the last minute, had to brake hard, and came very close to hitting the deer. These defective visors make driving extremely unsafe. I either have the sun in my eyes, or i have the visor severely obstructing my visibility.
As i approached a green traffic, the sun was in my eyes, so i moved the sun visor down so the sun was blocked but i could still see the traffic light.when i let go of it, it would not stay up against the windshield and hung straight down, blocking the traffic light.if it had turned red, i never would have know it.i had to drive with one had holding up the visor and one hand on the steering wheel.when i took my car in to the dealership i told them that the visor has never stayed up except against the car ceiling and we both looked at a 2008 model, which works fine.he said that they could order a new visor, but the replacement would be identical, so it wouldn't do any good.i feel that it is too dangerous to drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand either blocking the sun or holding the visor up.
Since i bought this car, streaks appear on the windows when you open and close them. I asked the dealer about this during an oil change and showed him first hand how the window was spotless and then i lowered it and raised it and it had vertical streaks from one side to the other. He told me he had heard this from other fusion owners and unless ford issued a recall that it could get costly to have it fixed. I avoid opening the windows because those streaks are distracting on sunny days and can give the appearance of something being there that isn't when turning your head to look or looking through the side mirrors. My dad just bought a ford f-250 and his doesn't do this so maybe it's the parts that ford uses on this vehicle that cause the problem.
The windshield wipers fail to clear the windshield during heavy rain resulting in a nearly complete loss of visibility. While driving south on a freeway at night, it suddenly began to rain heavily. I turned the wipers on to the highest speed available. I quickly lost visibility and could not determine where the edges of the road were. I released the accelerator and the car did not slow down. I applied the brakes lightly, and the tailgating tractor-trailer vehicle (18 wheeler) passed me and continued on at the speed limit of 70 mph. The spray from the truck made it impossible to see more than a few feet in front of me. Even after the truck was passed and i had slowed to the minimum speed of 45mph, i still could not find the edges of the road or see the lane markings. No setting of the headlights or fog lights helped.the amount of rain on the windshield is aggravated by the shape of the car, which directs the rain from the hood to the windshield and the long sloping windshield gathers more rain than older vehicles.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that air would not blow out from the vents when the air conditioner was activated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the engine blower plug needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 87,000 and the current mileage was 92,000.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact was driving 60 mph when the sun roof became detached from the vehicle. The contact pulled over and was able to retrieve the glass. The vehicle was not taken for inspection or diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 164,000
Driving to work on date mentioned sounded like a shot gun went off in the car, my rear window shattered!i paid $285.00 to have it replaced!upon removal of shattered glass the repairman noticed that my rear defroster electrical connection had melted and therefore was the culprit!it overheated and shattered the rear window!
On my 2007 ford fusion which i have owned since 2015, whether stationary or in motion the sun visors will not stay in position and will droop, causing road visibility issues, making it difficult to see the road or block the sun properly.it has been an issue since the car was purchased.
The defrosters take the air from the outside of the vehicle only. This pulls in exhaust gases during heavy traffic. Setting the control to defrost and floor only allows temporary recirculation of inside air, but the car automatically reselects the outside air after a few minutes. The only alternatives that allow continuously recirculation of inside air do not put any warm air on the windshield. When driving is stop and crawl traffic in the winter, the driver must choose between breathing exhaust gases or fogged windows.this is aggravated by the unshielded vent on the hood that draws in air from the outside and the shape of the vehicle which directs the exhaust gas laden air up over the hood to the vent. In sub zero weather, the exhaust gases tend to remain near the ground and the large windshield requires significant hot air to remain unfrosted at the top where the taller drivers need to see through.this is a continuous problem, not a one day event.

The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that after parking, he noticed a burning odor and noticed smoke emerging from under the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was stated that the blower motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the problem persisted. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure was 141,000.
Driver's side interior door handle broke. This is a safety issue. If i were needing to exit the vehicle in a hurry, i could not. If i were not able to roll down the power window, i would not be able to open the door from the inside.
I went to open my driver door to get out and i heard a pop... The handle is now loose. So in order to open my door i have to roll down the window, open the door from the outside, roll the window back up, and then turn off the car. I have read tons of complaints online about the same problem and ford is not issuing a recall. This is a huge safety hazard! if i get in an accident and am unable to roll my window down i will be unable to get out of the vehicle. This is a huge issue and very common. I am not understanding why a recall has not been issued for this.
The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap.the consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment.the seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it.the interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate.the engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.
Se v6, tires:when i inflate the tires to the pressure recommended by ford on the door sticker, the result is rapid tire wear on the outsides of the tires (under inflated). When i inflate the tires according to the tire manufacturers recommendation on the sidewall, the tires do not wear out on the outside (under inflated), nor in the middle (over inflated). Ford recommends a tire pressure that is 9 psi lower than the tire manufacturer recommends. Apparently they did not learn from firestone that the tires can fail due to overheating when they are under inflated, resulting in blow outs at freeway speed and deaths due to the resulting accidents. Nor did they change their ways as a result of damage awards for lawsuits due to under inflated firestone tire failures. Perhaps the damage awards were too small.
The first incident with my 2007 fusion brakes occurred june 23, 2016. I was going down a side street near my home about 20 mph in the day time when i noticed a woman tumbling into traffic from her bicycle. I stopped suddenly to avoid running over her. I stopped to help her but afterwards as i continued on my way i noticed my brakes were very squishy. I had to press extra hard at each intersection to get them to stop. I had the brakes repaired at brakes plus. I was told the master cylinder needed replacement and the brakes flushed.
There is a problem with my car that is very dangerous, and could be life threatening to me and others. Under certain conditions my brakes will not work.it happens when the road is wet or has snow on it.a few different things has happened which apparently depends how slippery the road is. When braking sometimes there will be a odd noise which i think is the safety braking feature, but even that doesn't seem to work correct.the worst is this. Again, when slick or slippery roads.there have been numerous times when trying to brake i have lost all braking.the brake pedel goes completely to the floor. On a few occasions this happened while trying to stop before a stop sign and ended up in the middle of the road. This has happened going at a speed of 10 to 55 mph. Twice this happened where the stop sign was at a road that was 55 mph. You can imagine what could have happened. I have read online that others are having the same problem.why has nothing been done about this potentially deadly situation ? for crying out loud. Does there have to be deaths before action is taken ?the car was taken to a local dealer and they said the brakes needed to be blead. They seemed to be aware of this problem....again, why and the hell is nothing being done about it ?next i am going to write my state representative or someone who can make something happen.i believe i wrote to you before, but lost the paperwork that came.but it doesn't look like nothing was being done about it anyway. Oh, and when the brakes were blead by the dealer it made no difference.at least when other car manufacturers have recalls something appears to be done about it . Here in the good ole usa things seem to drag on and on and on.so does that mean foreign manufacturers are more considerate for our safety than own country ? i want action.
My 2007 fusion frequently has soft brakes, the brake pedal feels squishy andgoes down to the floor and i am unable to stop within my desired stopping distance. This usually happens when the car is in motion on city streets however last night it happened in my garage. It has happened several times (june 24, 2016 through jan 9, 2017) and i do not feel safe driving my car. I have had 2 master cylinders, brakes flushed 2 times, 2 new front rotors, and paid for diagnostic testing but the only code displayed was that the car needed new spark plugs.
The contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that while having the tires checked, she was notified that the rear passenger's side tire pressure valve stem sensor was defective, causing the tire to deflate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the valve stem was cracked and the tire needed to be replaced. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 8,295 and the current mileage was 13,250.
