Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2008 Ford Fusion

Takata recall: my passenger front seat airbag is faulty and that has been implicated in a number of intermittent, unexplained electrical problems and a constant "parasitic drain" on my battery requiring a replacement alternator and 2 batteries, so far. Also I have been limited in performing duties of my job which requires transportation of others who (for medical needs) need to be in the front seat for observation. Therefore I have suffered a financial loss as well. I drove this vehicle for 5 years, transporting my own children it the front seat before I received a safety recall notice. I was totally unaware of the deadly potential danger I exposed my children for hours everyday. I am now suffering from guilt, fear and shame for being unable to confidently protect my children from dangers that were well known to Ford & takata for many years, but kept secret from the public. I have suffered emotional stress and psychological damage-similar to ptsd - from this situation.

Belt idler pulley attachment bolt broke off while negotiating a corner, detaching the pulley from the front of the motor causing sudden loss of power steering assist, alternator charging, and engine cooling. Ford Fusion equipped with the 2. 3l motor. This issue has now happened multiple times, with multiple parts replaced each time in an attempt to fix the underlying issue. A quick search online reveals this to be a very common problem with the Ford/Mazda 2. 3l 4 cylinder.
