1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2016

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.

2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2016

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.

3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2016

My car begin make a loud squeaking noise. (I describe it as if it was a old rust car) when I was driving. It didn't matter if the steering wheel was turning or not. I was told by one mechanic that it was my tire rod ends. ($400 later 3/1/16) my car is still making that sound when it's hot outside. My air bag on the passenger side dash board is buckling. My passenger door makes a lot of noise. ( loud vibration sound).

5 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2010

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.
