1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2021

I've had the car for about 8 months now. First the seats stopped moving back and forth. No warranty on the car so took it to my local Ford and they said it was off its track. A month later the same problem occurred and they said my seat stopped sending commands to the computer. Now three months later my car randomly started making a loud rattling noise. Got louder every time I started the car. So once again took it to my nearby Ford. They checked it out and said my flex plate has cracked all around and that it would be a $1600 repair. This car is still fairly new. Looked into it and it seems a lot of people are having the same experience and Ford is aware of the malfunction after many complaints but still has not made it a recall. Very upsetting that I will be without a car for a week and have to pay $1600 just to get it fixed when it seems to be a mass problem. Took it to a outside shop and they said they've heard about the problem before and it's more than just the flexplate but there's no one around that can do the job.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2020

So I bought a 2016 Ford Fusion se and about two weeks later after just booking a hotel room went to move my Fusion to a closer parking spot and as soon as I started it the left side of the screen above steering wheel showed a box that read " steering assist fault service required". And there was no power steering at all. It also reads service advance track, and uphill parking assist unavailable.
