CarComplaints.com Notes: Power steering problems started rearing their ugly head in the 2010 Fusion, so you'd think Ford had plenty of time to make sure those problems didn't creep into the 2012. But here we are.
And much like the power steering, we’re still seeing the same throttle body failures that started in 2010 continue in 2012.

Takata recall a recall was issued on January 10th, 2017. I believe it has been an unreasonable amount of time for the manufacturer to have not addressed this safety issue.
Takata recall. I've received 2 notices about the recall and have contacted local Ford dealerships regarding the part replacement and was told both times that there are no parts available and Ford has not announced what they are going to do. I received the first notice in Jan/Feb 2017. It's now November 1, 2017. This is taking entirely too long especially if my family's safety is involved.

Takata recall. I had received notice of my airbag inflator being recalled on January 10th, 2017. It is October 31st, 2017 and Ford is still unable to change out my inflator and make it safe to drive. This airbag inflator needs to be replaced in a more timely manner to prevent possible injury. Thank you.
Takata recall. I received written notice from Ford in March 2017 that "frontal air bag inflator may rupture in the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment. A ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death..." I called Ford company today 10/31/17 (8 months after the initial notice which I took very seriously) and was told by the Ford representative that they have no date for when the parts for the remedy would be available. So Ford has told me that me and my wife could suffer serious injury or death in the event that the airbag is deployed and there is no timeframe for resolving this very serious deficiency. Please tell me what action is being taken to make Ford be more responsive

Takata recall------ I am getting no where with my dealership. I got my letter in March 2017. I have been calling twice a month (hardy Ford & Chevrolet) about getting it replaced and every person I talk to says that the parts (for my Ford Fusion 2012) have still not come in and no one at any dealership is getting them at this time.
