2006 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

"TAKATA RECALL" - I CALLED THE SOUTH BAY FORD DEALER IN HAWTHORNE, CA. TODAY ON 1/16/17 AND WAS TOLD MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL LIST BUT THEY CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE FORD HASN'T TOLD THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE READY FOR INSTALL AND REPAIR. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER FOR THE CONSUMER. THESE BAGS CAN "KILL YOU" IF THEY EXPLODE. THE SERVICE DEPT. WAS VERY RUDE AND MADE ME FEEL UNIMPORTANT AND NOT WORTH THEIR TIME IN DISCUSSING THE MATTER AND TOLD ME TO CALL FORD! IT SEEMS NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. MY COMPLAINT IS WHEN WILL FORD "FIX" THIS PROBLEM?

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR, TYPICALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED EXTREME LOSS OF PRESSURE IN MY BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE A FULL TANK OF BRAKE FLUID BUT I STILL HAVE TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AT TIMES TO SLOW DOWN MY CAR AND HOPE IT COMES TO A STOP. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS OCCURRENCE 10-15 TIMES TO DATE STARTING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. MY CAR HAS 138,883 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS. I AM SOMETIMES WORRIED THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS, PARKING LOTS AND HIGHWAYS. AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, MOSTLY LOWER SPEEDS, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED AS HIGH AS 60 MPH.

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL INFORMATION NOT RECEIVED BY OWNER.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT SOCKET AND BULB ARE CHARRED BLACK AS IF THEY CAUGHT FIRE. I FOUND THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE SIGNAL LIGHT FAILED. IT SMELLED BURNT. UNSURE IF THERE WAS ACTUAL FLAME OR NOT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD MY AIRBAGS REPLACED YET AND THEY HAVE ALREADY EXPLODED ON ME. I HAD GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG EXPLODED ON ME I WASNT GOING FAST AT ALL WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. BY HAVING THE AIR BAG EXPLOXED ON ME HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE BRUISED CHEST BONE AND A CONCUSSION AND IT TOOK AWHILE FOR ME TO RECOVER FROM THE ACCIDENT.

NO RECALL REMEDY YET AVAILABLE. NO COTANCT FROM FORD MOTOR CO.

WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE CITY STREETS THE CAR HAS A SLUGGISH START AND THEN A BIT OF A BURST AND THEN LIGHT POWER AS I ACCELERATE. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE PURCHASE. THE HANDLES JUST SNAP OFF. THE CAR WILL UNLOCK BUT I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK MOST LOCKS AND OPEN THE CAR BY PUTTING DOWN THE WINDOW.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, WHEN BOTH OF MY FRONT TURN SIGNALS WENT OUT. MY DASH INDICATED TO CHECK LF TURN LAMP AND CHECK RF TURN LAMP. I STOPPED AT THE STORE TO PURCHASE NEW BULBS, THINKING THE BULBS WERE BAD. I GOT HOME, AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT FRONT PARKING LAMP WAS ON. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE LIGHT, OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE DRAINED MY BATTERY. I HAD NO FRONT WORKING TURN SIGNALS AND NO WORKING HAZARDS IN THE FRONT. THE BACK SIGNALS AND HAZARDS WORK FINE, BUT BLINK FAST. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 80 MPH THE CAR LOOSES ACCELERATION POWER AND AN ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL SHOWS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE TO SAFELY COAST MY VEHICLE TO A SAFE SPOT OFF THE ROAD.

BRAKE PEDAL, SOMETIMES, WOULD GIVE, AT TIMES GOING TO FLOOR STOP,WHILE SLOWING AND OR TURNING ON ROUGH INTERSECTION AREAS AND EXITS. MY WIFE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS FOR ~6 MONTHS. WHEN I WOULD TEST DRIVE THE FUSION, THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. THE FUSION WAS REPAIRED AT BOLTON FORD, LAKE CHARLES, LA. ON AUG. 16, 2016 (97,750 MLS.) WHICH ENTAILED CHANGING THE MASTERCYLINDER AND FLUID FLUSH. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE ISSUE, I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE PADS AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS, FLUID LEVEL, ALL LOOKED NORMAL. NEXT MY LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP, CHECKED BRAKES, FOR MY WIFE SAID PROBLEM STILL THERE. THEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP.

2006 FORD FUSION. ABS ENGAGED WHEN HAVING TO BRAKE SUDDENLY ON ICE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS SOFT AFTER THAT, GOING ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THE HCU WAS PROBABLY OUT AND WOULD COST $2000 TO FIX IT. I TOLD THEM I NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT IT. THEY CALLED BACK LATER AND SAID THEY BLED THE BRAKES AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM SO NO REPAIR WAS DONE. THE BRAKES DID THE SAME THING A FEW MONTHS LATER WHEN BRAKING HARD TO AVOID HITTING A CAR WHICH HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER READING COMMENTS ONLINE, I FIXED THE ISSUE BY DRIVING AT 25 MPH IN A PARKING LOT AND THEN SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY AFTER THAT. I'M SURE THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND I KNOW THE MODEL YEARS 2007 - 2009 ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THIS ISSUE. JUST WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCES WITH MY 2006 FORD FUSION THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2006. *TR
