Abs control unit has recently gone bad. Since then, it takes much longer to stop. Ford mechanic said it is a very serious problem. I do not feel safe driving it anymore. Needs replacing asap.

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…

Idler pulley bolts failed causing loss of power steering and alternator. Vehicle was stationary at the time. If this happened while driving on a highway, vehicle would be difficult to steer. This is the second time this part has failed in 6 months.

I brought my ford fusion 2007 into tires plus to have a/c repaired. I had thought it was the a/c sensor in the dash, as they are notorious for failing in this make and model. I was right. Despite this, i was not listened to (i'm just a dumb female, right?), and the mechanics replaced the compressor, clutch, and condenser, only to find a/c did not work. In the process, they also moved the motor mounts and the power…

The idler pulley bolt broke off and pulled the belt off (the belt did not break) making me lose power steering, and of course the battery would not hold a charge. This happened june 8, 2013, june 23, 2013 and again on september 11, 2013. Ford is telling me that there is no problem but the dealer that fixed my car the 1st two times now has it again and has a call into ford to see what the problem could be that it has…

I parked my 2007 ford fusion at my house and i was unable to remove my key from the ignition. My steering wheel would not lock. I made sure that my car was in park, and still my key would not come put of the ignition. My boyfriend disconnected the battery, and tried to turn the key backwards and this was the only way the key could come out. We replaced the ignition switch, and the ignition switch sensor and it still…

Suddenly, the front went slightly left and the rear went to the right as i spun around, hit a mailbox post and barely missed a telephone pole.…

2007 ford fusion - cracks in front subframe effecting steering yesterday i was informed by a ford dealer, don reid ford in maitland florida, that the likely explanation for the "notchy" feel in my steering wheel on my 2007 ford fusion is probably due to cracks at weld seams in the front subframe of the vehicle.

The steering wheel of the ford fusion se puts excessive pressure on the carpel tunnels of the hands, when it is held naturally, which leads to numbness and tingling in the fingers. The steering wheel is hard and shaped more like a wagon wheel than a steering wheel. I have tried steering wheel covers, but they only help a little. The shape of the wheel is still a problem even with a padded steering wheel cover. *tr
