HAD AIR BAG REPLACE APRIL 8 2019 RECALL. BUT AIR BAG ICON STAYS ON. DEALER WHO DID WORK WOULDN'T FIX. SAYING IT'S NOT PART OF RECALL. SO HOW DO I KNOWN THIS NEW AIR BAG WORKING PROPERLY

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING. RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO LOCK THOSE DOORS. *TR

I AM UNABLE TO OPEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF CAR. THE HANDLE REMAINS IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION AND CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THE CAR CAN'T BE LOCKED WITH THE REMOTE, ONLY WITH THE KEY. IN THE EVENT THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR UNLESS THEY COULD OPEN THE WINDOW AND THEN OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE PREVALENT WITH THE 2006 MODELS BOTH FORD AND MERCURY. JUST SEARCH THE INTERNET. IT APPEARS THE RESOLVE IS TO HAVE THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER FORD MODELS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT NOT THE FUSION OR MILAN, WHICH HAVE THE MOST COMPLAINTS SEEN ON THE INTERNET. THE DEALER WILL FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS NOT DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 44,344 MILES, IS WELL CARED FOR AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MUCH LESS MILEAGE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT IF CUSTOMERS DO NOT REPORT THE PROBLEMS DIRECTLY THEN THERE IS NO ACTION TO TAKE CARE OF SUCH SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, SO I AM REPORTING MY PROBLEM. I HOPE TO SEE THIS BECOME A RECALL ISSUE AS THE DEALER I SPOKE WITH INFORMED ME THAT THESE HANDLES BREAK VERY EASY AND WITH NO WARNING LEAVING A PASSENGER OR DRIVER STUCK INSIDE THE CAR AND THIS COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH IN AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I75S IN VERY SLOW TRAFFIC. AS I WAS APPROACHING AM ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THE CAR STALLING OR JERKING A LITTLE. THE WRENCH SENSOR CAME ON IN THE CAR. I GOT OVER 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER & CHECKED THE CAR. I DIDN'T SEE ANY OBVIOUS PROBLEMS SO I TURNED IT OFF WAITED A FEW SECONDS & STARTED IT BACK UP. THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT OFF THE EXIT & TURNED AROUND TO COME HOME. THE CAR DID FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST & THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAILING & WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAVE ME STRANDED. I AM TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE TAKEN CAR OF SOON. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE ONLINE WITH NC CARS & WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECALL INFO REGARDING THIS SUBJECT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK BC THIS IS MY ONLY CAR & IM SCARED TO GET STRANDED. *TR

DROVE OFF LOT ELECTRONIC READER INDICATED 23 MPG AND 27 MPG AVERAGE. ONE MONTH AGO MPG WENT DOWN TO 16.5 AND MPG AV 18.5!!! THEN WENT BACK UP A BIT TO 18.5 MPG AND NOW IT IS AGAIN 16.5 MPG.

HUGE MPG DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE US EPA MPG AND THE CURRENT HORRIBLE MPG WORSE THAN MY 1993 NISSAN MAXIMA WHICH IS 20 MPG! IS IT THE ETHANOL IN THE GAS? IS IT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS/AIR RATIO? ALSO, NOTICED PEDAL ACCELERATION ISSUE. LATELY NOT SMOOTH ACCELERATION... CAN PUSH PEDAL AND NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION FOR TOO LONG A TIME. WHAT IS GOING ON???? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FRAUD. THANK YOU. IF IT IS SIMPLY AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE SOFTWARE THEN I'M OKAY WITH THAT BUT IT THE MPG IS THIS BAD I'M TRADING IT IN... *TR

MY POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I HEARD A FAINT NOISE LIKE A MARBLE DROPPING ONTO A SURFACE AND ROLLING AS I STARTED THE CAR. I QUICKLY REALIZED I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE BOLT ON THE IDLER PULLEY BROKE, AND PART OF THIS BOLT FELL INTO THE ENGINE. WHEN I ASKED HIM HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN, HE INFORMED ME THAT HE BELIEVED IT WAS DUE TO THE FAULTY DESIGN - PLACING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THIS BOLT, CAUSING IT TO EVENTUALLY BREAK IN TWO. THEY HAD TO TAKE THE ALTERNATOR OFF TO RECOVER THE PIECE OF THE BOLT THAT FELL INTO THE ENGINE. THE IDLER PULLEY WAS THEN REPLACED. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT A HIGH SPEED, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENSES THAT DETERIORATE/CLOUD AND REDUCE LIGHT PASSING THROUGH THE LENS. RESULTING IN REDUCED VISIBILITY DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. ARE MANUFACTURERS REQUIRED TO HAVE LIFE OF VEHICLE LENS? WHAT HAPPENED TO GLASS LENSES? NO RECALLS FOR CLOUDED LENSES? VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE OR REPAIR. ARE YOU MISSING SOMETHING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES? I SEE THIS ON MORE CARS THAN I CAN COUNT. MANY MANUFACTURERS, MODELS AND YEARS. CAN YOU HELP MILLIONS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE AUTO OWNERS? *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 4DR MERCURY MILAN. WHILE I ACCELERATE THERE IS A THUMPING SOUND WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE JUMP. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AT TIMES THERE IS A THUMP/JERK OF THE VEHICLE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON , CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF AND LOST POWER AND SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVE DOWN THE SHOULDER TO A REST STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES LIKE MINE I'M THINKING IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS.
