My vehicle has had multiple tire pressure sensor issues. All 4 have been replaced once and two have been replaced twice in the course of 9 months. One time the sensor became loose and began clunking around inside the rim. It was only an expensive annoyance until yesterday. While driving at 65 to 70 mph on a 4 lane interstate highway, the tire pressure sensor broke off. At that time it began to spin around within the…

While attempting to make a u-turn to the left the steering suddenly fought against me in the middle of the turn and tried to straighten its self out. I'm a big guy and held the steering wheel, but someone with less strength would have lost control and crashed. *tr

While traveling at 65 mph in traffic, the car completely shutdown. Dashboard lights appeared and the car lost all power, including power brakes and steering. Fortunately, i was able to maintain control of the vehicle while exiting the roadway. Due to the lack of steering and braking ability, i don't feel a person of smaller stature, i.e. My wife, would have been able to maintain control without being in an accident.…

I had a history of recurring problems with my 2009 fusion. The battery died over and over again, causing me to finally replace it. The car constantly threw errors regarding low tire pressure. But the largest problem happened when we were driving down a two-lane highway at roughly 55 mph and the steering wheel suddenly became unresponsive and locked, causing us to hit first the concrete divider on one side of the…

2009 ford fusion front end pull or drift. I have a fusion that will literally run off the road when hands are not correcting the steering. While everyone knows it is unsafe to drive with no hands on the wheel, we all do it from time to time and in most cars this is not a concern since the car will go straight over a considerable distance. This car however will run off the road in a matter of seconds and is a…
