I learned that Ford had recently issued a recall (Ford ref # 18s08) for 2014-2018 Ford fusion loose steering wheels. My 2013 fusion has exactly the same problem. The Ford dealer advised me that my steering wheel problem in my 2013 Ford was exactly the same as in the 2014-2018 fusions, but since Ford had not issued a recall for the 2013 fusion, I had to pay for the repair. The dealer contacted Ford and Ford said they would not cover this defect. This is very unfair and unsafe. The Ford steering wheel recall should be expanded to include 2013 Ford fusions. My fusion was manufactured in the same hermosillo, mexico plant where the 2014-2018 fusions were manufactured. Ford needs to accept responsibility for this steering wheel defect in the 2013 Ford fusion and immediately issue a recall on 2013 fusions before someone is killed or seriously injured. I felt as if the steering wheel of my fusion was about to come off due to this defect. It is a very serious situation.

My sister sent me a recall notice, it wasn't pertaining to my vehicle, but I went along and made sure to look up mine also. Upon reviewing my information, I was sold a vehicle I believe should have never left the lot, since there were recalls dating from 2014 and I bought the vehicle in 2017. I called Ford they told me parts weren't in and that I would have to wait, and that one problem occurs when you live in heavily salted areas, I responded with hello lady, I do live in CT where it constantly snows. I have experienced why these would be recalls so far such as the door latch and the restraints, but with such grave recalls as these why was it allowed to be sold off the lot without having the recalls checked first?.

I was backing out of my garage at home and as soon as I put the car in drive and started to turn the wheel, I heard a loud clunk. The steering wheel locked and the car would not steer. It was completely locked. When I tried to force the wheel I heard a massive grinding sound but the car still wouldn't steer. I called roadside assistance and they flat-bedded the car to my local Ford dealer. My car has never been in an accident and has been driven responsively. I can't believe the steering would break like this. Thank goodness I wasn't driving down the road as an accident surely would have occurred. The broken steering rack has been on order for a month now. I'm getting the run-around from the Ford representative. I'm extra concerned because my wife drives the exact same car. I'd like to know what exactly happened and once its "fixed" how can I be assured it won't happen again. As of today, I still have not gotten the car back from the dealership. Please note that when you check my VIN # it is registered in my company's name automatic music & vending.
