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.
As I was driving, the vehicle steering wheel locked and the brakes went out.
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 drain plug 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 a solid 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.
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.
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.
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.
While driving the expressway my two front wheels turned right causing me to lose control of the vehicle.
