The steering rack is very loose and dangerous- there is a recall on the newer models with the same rack - this is way more dangerous than an air bag that"may" deploy - this is dangerous all the time .
Primewell valera touring ii tires cracking on the sidewalls and interior after under 2 years of use. Multiple other sizes are recalled for the same problem under the same model and are made of the same material. The entire tire model needs to be recalled not just specific sizes. It is an extreme safety hazard for all drivers on the road. I risked my tire exploding and crashing as a result of faulty manufacturing and the use of cheap materials.
Vehicle was just parked in the driveway and as I exited the car I noticed something odd across the top of the windshield. It was yellowish in color and appeared to have a dripping bubble look to it. Contacted my Ford dealership and Ford motor CO. , to see about having this obviously defective,unsafe windshield replaced. Apparently, it's not their problem. Spoke with reputable windshield installers and they stated that the windshield is separating and will be a safety issue when this separation continues to worsen, especially with winter just around the corner. The windshield will splinter and crack, weaken and eventually break. According to the gentleman I spoke with he stated that he has had numerous Ford Fusions coming in all the time for windshield replacement due to this separation problem. I drive this car with other passengers and my grandchild. I consider this to be a huge safety issue factor. I'm now forced to install a new windshield, because Ford motor company does not feel this is their problem and will only put an offer on the table if you play by their rules! where is the righteousness and safety concern with this windshield problem. Folks if you own a Fusion check the top of your windshield and make sure it's not separating and becoming a safety issue.
While driving my 2010 Ford Fusion, at a normal speed of 45 mph, the car's acceleration cut off completely while driving on the road. I noticed this when I pushed on the gas pedal and noticed that I could not accelerate or move my car beside coasting. Luckily, I was able to safely get off the road, however, if I was on the highway, I might have gotten in to an accident. After parking my car, I noticed the rpms were jumping a bit, and an orange wrench appeared on my dashboard signal. I turn off the vehicle, and tried turning it on again. The vehicle gave a slight hesitation and then started right up. This incident happened one other time with the same result. I took my car to the dealership to get fixed, and they indicated that this was a very common issue they have been seeing with my vehicle. The problem related to the throttle body, in which gets stuck and shuts down the engine. They indicated that this was a wide spread issue that is currently being investigated. My complaint is that this is a potential hazard that could cause an accident involving injury or death. This part needs to be recalled, as it is a common occurrence in my vehicle. I am lucky I was able to guide my car off the road. Had I been on the highway or on the train tracks, I could have caused a serious accident.
