ABS and WRENCH icon are flashing on dashboard. Car making a terrible noise from underneath . I try to drive the car but it loses power and goes into LIMP mode. I have read many problems with the ABS control module valves sticking open due to the wrong type of brake fluid put in by manufacturer. My car is a 2007 ford fusion sel AWD with only 89,000 miles. I need a recall service appointment as quickly as possible because this is the only vehicle I own. The car is just sitting in my driveway. HELP!!!!!!!!!

This vehicle was totaled in May 2020. I had numerous and constant brake issues with this car and had much of the brake system (brake pads, rotors, and calipers I believe) replaced within a year of the accident. The accident occurred when I tried to apply the brakes, causing me to hydroplane into an oncoming car. My concern is that this could be related to the ABS recall (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 19V904000). Although my vehicle does not appear to be affected by the recall, it seems very similar to the brake issues I experienced.

My boyfriends mom was up north driving and the latch on the driverside door stopped working. She's 60+ and still years later has to tie her door close and climb over the passenger seat to get in the car. I can get it closed if it's accidentally opened just like an inch but the door absolutely cannot to opened any further.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11-30-19 DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT ALLOWING ME TO STOP IN TIME AND HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE ROAD, WAITING TO TURN, AND I TRIED TO STOP BUT I COULDN'T IN TIME. IT CAUSED ENOUGH COSMETIC (ONLY) DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS FILING IT AS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE COST OF REPAIRS COMPARED TO THE VALUE OF MY CAR. I WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED TO KEEP IT THOUGH SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, SINCE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. MY DAUGHTER IS HELPING ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO KEEP IT, TO GET A SALVAGE TITLE AND THEN APPLY FOR A REBUILT TITLE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE MY CAR WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FORD BRAKE RECALL.

Drivers seat moved back while driving and now won't move forward I am only 4ft 8 inch tall and driving my car is very difficult I have seen a lot of other people complaining of the same thing and something needs to be done

Took car to dealer because the dash light came on what looked like airbag needed replacement.? I had had that done so they checked and told me it was a weight bar in passenger seat that was lighting up. Does that not protect person from collision and trigger airbag if u have accident.?? Would that not be a necessary fix even if cars out of warranty? They could not answer that and said I would have to pay over 750.00 to correct.. I walked out. What’s the real truth here. This car is a 2007!! Who would pay that amount..

NO COMPENSATION. DO NOT HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE, BUT IF NEEDED WILL EMAIL THEM ASAP. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE TOXIC GASES LEAKING FROM THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT WHICH TAMPERED WITH THE ADHESIVE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO BUBBLE UP AROUND THE COMPARTMENT. THE SEATBELTS WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CONSUMER'S GRANDCHILD HAD TO WRIGGLE OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT BELT. THE SEATBELT HAD TO BE UNSCREWED FROM THE FLOOR TO RELEASE THE PRESSURE ON IT.

KAYSER FORD IN MADISON, WI WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR PROPERLY REPLACING, PER THE SAFETY RECALL, AS TIM DOUGLAS BOASTED THAT "THEY HAVE OVER 47 AIRBAGS" IN BACK AND THIS IS NOT HOW THE RECALL SHOULD WORK. THE PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED PER THE VIN AND RECEIVED AND PUT IN, NOT SOME RANDOM SPARE EXTRA PARTS IN BACK, PUT IN THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT KNOWING HOW LONG THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING THERE. FURTHER, THIS FORD REPLACED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND PULLED ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, CAUSING A BADLY TENTED EDGE, THAT COULD OBSTRUCT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OR TEAR THE BAG IF IT IS DEPLOYED, AND AFFECT THE ANGLE AND TRAJECTORY OF THE DEPLOYMENT. THIS FORD DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. WHEN WE HAD IT TOWED FOR OTHER REPAIRS INCLUDING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, THEY NOT ONLY DID NOT PERFORM THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, BUT THEY CAUSED HARM TO OUR CAR: DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER, FAILED TO REFILL FLUIDS CORRECTLY, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND POWER STEERING FLUID AND DID NOT REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS. THE NEW SERPENTINE BELT IS LOOSE AND MAKES A NOISE. THEY ALSO DROVE OUR CAR OVER 30 MILES, WITHOUT OUR AUTHORIZATION AND THEN LIED ON THE INVOICE CLAIMING THAT OUR CAR CAME IN AND LEFT AT THE SAME MILEAGE. FURTHER, THEY LEFT OUR CAR ON A TOW TRUCK WITH THE J HOOK HANGING FROM THE SUSPENSION AND UNDER TENSION, ALL NIGHT.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE BRAKES WENT OUT. *TR

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY FORD OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY SAY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEIR IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

MY CAR BEGIN MAKE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. (I DESCRIBE IT AS IF IT WAS A OLD RUST CAR) WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING OR NOT. I WAS TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS MY TIRE ROD ENDS. ($400 LATER 3/1/16) MY CAR IS STILL MAKING THAT SOUND WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE. MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD IS BUCKLING. MY PASSENGER DOOR MAKES A LOT OF NOISE.( LOUD VIBRATION SOUND)

MY 2007 FORD FUSION MAKES A LOUD, HIDIOUS, NOISE WHEN I TURN MY WEELS, EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST. HARD TO EXPLAIN THE NOISE BUT WHEN IT'S COLDER OUTSIDE IT DOESN'T MAKE IT AND WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE, THEN IT GETS WORSE LIKE SOMETHING IS EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING WITH THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. ANYTIME MY TIRE'S MOVE THAT NOISE IS MADE. BTW IT IS A AWD WHEEL DRIVE KEEPS GETTING WATER IN TAIL LIGHTS AND BLOWING BULBS MAYBE PART OF TAKATA RECALL AS WELL.

THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL LIGHT UP WHEN THE PARKING LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT WILL NOT FLASH WITH THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED.

I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE THE AIRBAG RECALL FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY AIRBAGS BEING REPLACED WON'T MAKE MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH GO OFF. IT IS SOMETHING SOMETHING ELSE IDK THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE IT. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THEY ARE FIXING THE AIRBAGS YET THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER THEY ARE REPLACED. MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
