My wife and I gave this car to our daughter when she got her drivers license in 2016.since then there has been a recall on the airbags that has not been fixed because they are on back order. The temperature sensor has gone out and Ford is aware that is a problem but will not recall, and now 3 times the steering has locked up on her with an error message that reads "power steering assist fault". in reading various articles there was a recall but for some reason my car having a 3.5 liter was not in the recall, not real sure what engine size has to do with power steering. Fortunately all 3 failures occurred in our drive way while she was backing out and she turned the car off and started it back up and the car corrected itself. I am in fear for my daughters life at this point, even though she has 2+ yrs of driving experience who is to say that if this happens when she is driving down the road she will know how to react without harming herself or someone else. Ford needs to own up and fix their defective vehicles ps. This Ford only has 45,000 miles on it. Ralph nader, we need you!!!!

"takata recall". in June of 2012 I purchased a 2011 Ford Fusion. Approximately July of 2013 I was notified by Ford that my vehicle had a recall on the passenger side airbag. My vehicle was to be fix when parts were available. Approximately one year later I called Ford to find out why my vehicle was not fixed. I was told because I lived in a cold client (Massachusetts) that my vehicle would be one of the last vehicle to be fixed when parts became available. They also told me no one was to sit in the front passenger side because they could be seriously injured if the airbag exploded. My wife who is 75 years old a cancer survivor has sat in the back seat since 2013. Because of her age and health problems she can no longer sit in the back seat. I have contact Ford several time to tell them of this problem. For relief in 2018 they allowed me a rental car. Approximately, 2 months later I was contacted by the rental Agency and informed me that Ford would no longer pay for the rental vehicle because I signed their form and added (I didn't give up my right to legal actions by signing this form). Because I refused to give up my legal right they stopped the rental vehicle. Ford case number cas-15314662 was assigned to my case and I have not heard anything since. My wife and myself who are elder both feel this timeframe is ridiculously long and has causes us much discomfort, anxiety and out of pocket expenses when we want to travel together we had to take separate vehicle or borrowed one of our children vehicle in order to sit comfortable and beside each other.
