My car has had a few recalls. I brought it to watertown ford and they did not fix it properly. I bought it at enterprise car sales, woburn ma. They were supposed to check it and it was not certified like they promised. From the first month the car had issues. It keeps showing the wrench and not accelerating properly. I can't afford to keep fixing it. I would like ford to buy back the car. For more than 11,000.00.

Car has extreme, loud, embarrassing belt area noise. In checking with two local ford service departments i am told this happens all the time and is common. It's about a $700.00 repair. Ford should take care of this problem for those affected which i am told are most that have been so unfortunate to have purchased a fusion of the year 2011. This is ongoing from 0 to 70 mph.
