Steering Column problems of the 2007 Ford Fusion

Takata airbag recall and steering bolt recall my car has been under recall since 2016, and I was just offered a rental vehicle from a Ford on June 27th, 2018 - �until further notice - renewing every 30 days� at only $30 per day, which is half the cost of a daily rental. Ford stated my car was unsafe to drive, and yet I have to pay out of my pocket to have a safe vehicle until they figure out parts? I cannot even trade my unsafe car in due to the outstanding repair severely decreasing the value of my car. My car only has 103,000 miles on it and I have already spent significant amounts of money on other repairs. This car has been a total nightmare! just recently I had to replace the entire front axle due to the cv boot rupturing & major rusting. My car has had several steering column issues, including loss of power steering on three occasions, resulting in repairs. Recently I read that cars manufactured in mexico have a bolt in the steering column that can come loose - resulting the detaching of the steering wheel. I have not yet received a letter pertaining to this issue - however my vehicle falls in the category described on their website.

2007 Ford Fusion - cracks in front subframe effecting steering yesterday 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.
