They gave me an incident # and told me to give it to the dealership when they fixed the…

Following the repair in accordance with a 2011 recall on the wheel lugs, the lugs continue to break off the wheels. The times i have noticed it happening i was turning at a slow speed in or out of a driveway. It seems to cause stress on the lugs when i turn the wheel. Last time it happened i heard a pop and then the next time i pulled out of a parking lot i heard it again and a lug had fallen off. This has happened…

I purchased the vehicle in dec 2010. A recall notice in jan. 2012 stated "the wheel studs on your vehicle may fracture." when i brought the car in for that recall in april 2012, the dealership replaced one broken wheel stud but didn't indicate which wheel. In april 2013, a wheel stud on the front driver's side broke and the dealership replaced it noting the recall. In june 2016, a wheel stud on the front passenger…

I saw the alert message "power steering assist fault." i pulled back into my parking spot, restarted my car, and was able to drive and use the steering wheel just fine. This has actually happened several times before when starting my car but i thought my car just needed to 'warm up.' this was the first time it didn't work…

This is the 6th time i have had broken wheel studs on either the drivers or passengers side front wheels. I went to the dealer and was told there is no recall for my vehicle and they have never heard of this problem. Suggested i re-torque the nuts at 500 miles, hard to do when they are gone.

My wife was driving our 2010 ford fusion approximately 65 mph when she felt a vibration in the steering. Upon getting home, we found a severed wheel stud on the front drivers side wheel. Oddly enough, this is the second time this has happened to us on this vehicle. Ford issued a recall but our model fusion was outside of the affected manufactured vehicles by one month. The first time a ford dealer replaced the stud.…

My fusion has now had a wheel stud on the front passenger wheel break off. Each has been roughly every 25,000 miles. The first was laying in my driveway, the second was missing when i went to the dealer for service and the third broke off during a tire rotation. In addition all studs were replaced due to a service bulletin early in the life of the car. Also lugnuts have been replaced along the way by the dealer due…

While driving down a highway, my low tire pressure light came on and i could tell it was very low due to my ability to steer. I pulled in a gas station and tried to fill the tire with air, but it was blown out on the inside wall and remained flat. I put the spare tire on and when i began to pull away, i realized i had no power steering. Warning lights came on in succession for low tire pressure (still?), service…

I have had this car for 2 years now. I first had issues with the throttle body and my car shutting off at intersections and had that replaced within a year of buying the car. I have been having issues with the transmission slipping between 1st and 2nd gear for almost a year now. I first had seals replaced. The second time i had my cv joint boots replaced and found out they are wearing out the seals that are causing…

I had 2 wheel studs break on the car, just a few months after delivery. Ford did a recall and all wheel studs were replaced in 2011. I believe that 4 more studs have broken since that replacement. They seem to break every 6 months or so. This is a safety defect that ford should correct (the 1st fix didn't correct the problem). *tr

Took my fusion in for oil change and tire rotation. Technician notified me they cannot rotate tires without damaging lug nuts. Ford used sleeved lug nuts (chrome sleeve over steel lug nut) so when the lug nut corrodes underneath the sleeve either falls off (reducing the diameter of the nut so the wrench rounds off the lug nut) or it swells (increasing the diameter of the lug nut so the wrench will not properly fit…

While rotating the tires, i noticed that two of the wheel studs had sheared off the front left wheel. There is a recall on this model of fusion but my car has manufactured on 3/28/2009 and the recall only covers vehicles manufactured from 4/1/2009 through 4/30/2009. Since my failure is identical to what the recall addresses, i submit that there are some vehicles that failed to get covered by the recall and the…
