I HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS/RECALLSON THIS VEHICLE. EVERYTHING FROM THE TRANSMISSION, TO THE RADIATOR, COOLANT, STEERING WHEEL COLMN, AND NOW THE AIR BAG SENSOR IS LIT AS 'ON'. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER IT IS, WHAT I BELIEVE JUST ANOTHER RECALL WAITING TO HAPPEN. WHEN THE CAR IS A LEMON,WHY SHOULD I BE CHARGED TO HAVE ANYTHING DIAGNOSED TO SEE THE 'CAUSE' OF ANY PROBLEM?

I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE OCTOBER 2015, MY VEHICLE TAKES TO LONG TO STOP WHILE DRIVING. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN CAR CAN BE FAR BUT CAR STILL WON'T STOP. I HAVE HAD 2 ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S LIKE THE CAR IS GLIDES AND YOU HAVE TO PUT EXCESSIVE FORCE ON BRAKE TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. YOU CAN ALSO BE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR WILL LIGHTLY GLIDE BUT TO THE POINT U DON'T NOTICE THE CAR IS MOVING. THE 1ST ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED I WASN'T EVEN DOING 2 MPH. I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND CAR GLIDED. MILES AT TIME WAS LESS THAN 50,000.

MY ABS, POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, REAR VIEW ASSIST, AIRBAG LIGHT ALL WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN, SO THERE IS SALT ON THE ROAD DURING THE WINTER. IT SEEMS THERE IS A FORD RECALL 15S14 THAT SEEMS TO ADDRESS THIS BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX STATING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY FUSION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I AM DISTURBED AT FORD AND THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONSE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
