My airbag light has been on for a month now and every time i call ford they tell me that my car isn't up for a recall. this is very dangerous and it has affected my horn, or anything else controlling my steering wheel. my power steering has been replaced twice. i need for someone to check into this matter for me please

My son started his fusion and the power assist fault light came on. he couldn't turn the steering wheel. the car was shut off, and when i arrived and started it, it was fine after being put in reverse. i researched recalls and found many on this vehicle. air bags,lug nuts,power assist to name a few. i called ford and they ran the vin #, they said the number was not covered. how can certain #'s be covered when they all have the same problem !? i guess the only fix is to to have people who can't afford to fix it ($2000) drive unsafely because ford won't admit they are in the wrong ! i can only hope nothing happens while he is driving..

I was never contacted about any recalls. my mother contacted me through email to see if i knew about the airbag recall. 2 recalls i only learned about today by checking my credit report because the agency that holds the title reported my account for non-payment. i recieved a carfax report when i purchased the vehicle august 2017 from drivetime. i was told there were no recalls on the vehicle. now, i am seeing 4 recalls, 2 of which (2014 & 2016) have appeared only now that the vehicle is being serviced. i was probably the only idiot in america that would have bought the high-mileage, over-priced vehicle in the 1st place. i was told it had been a fleet vehicle for a rental car agency. i thought i was getting a safe vehicle. but my feeling now, is that it should have never been sold. i'm not sure what to do. the vehicle may get repossessed and i am feeling cheated. i sent the car to the 1st auto body shop and they wanted $1470 for all the repairs. i called ford motor company, they told me the car could get repaired free of charge at an authorized ford dealer. i had the car towed to the 2nd shop. the car has been at that dealership since february 1st. my estimate is about $260. i'm not sure what i'm expecting to happen, but i attached a photo of the fuel overflow hose leaking fuel even when the tank was not full. it would do this regularly and that is 1 of the 2 new recalls that appeared. i'm scared to drive this car. i just want some reliable answers and solutions before i shell out any further money on a car that has put me, my family and other people at risk. please help. thanks in advance.......

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags); however, the parts were not available. the dealer autonation ford gulf freeway (12227 gulf fwy, houston, tx 77034, 713-489-2089) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. the contact had not experienced a failure. the manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to the dealer. parts distribution disconnect.

Takata recall at least two years ago, i was notified (via mail) of the takata recall. i've called around to the local ford dealerships several times but was told by each that parts for that recall wasn't available and they wasn't sure when they will have them in. also, i've had the same make and model car 3 weeks prior of getting the one i currently have due to an accident where neither airbags deployed. though nothing has happened in my current vehicle, i fear that if something should happen, i can't rely on the safety of the airbags to protect my occupants. i've taken the necessary steps to try and have this issue resolved as soon as i can but it's impossible if the parts are not available. the airbag is a very important element on the car and knowing that it doesn't work sufficiently, terrifies me every time i drive the vehicle and it's my only means of transportation.

My wife and i gave this car to our daughter when she got her drivers license in 2016.since then there has been a recall on the airbags that has not been fixed because they are on back order. the temperature sensor has gone out and ford is aware that is a problem but will not recall, and now 3 times the steering has locked up on her with an error message that reads "power steering assist fault". in reading various articles there was a recall but for some reason my car having a 3.5 liter was not in the recall, not real sure what engine size has to do with power steering. fortunately all 3 failures occurred in our drive way while she was backing out and she turned the car off and started it back up and the car corrected itself. i am in fear for my daughters life at this point, even though she has 2+ yrs of driving experience who is to say that if this happens when she is driving down the road she will know how to react without harming herself or someone else. ford needs to own up and fix their defective vehicles ps. this ford only has 45,000 miles on it. ralph nader, we need you!!!!

Tataka recall. me and my wife took our vehicle to future ford of roseville in regards to the tataka recall. this was on august 6 2018. we have had a rental ever since and has become quite frustrating. i am active military and getting ready to move bases but it's going to be difficult now because i'm not able to drive the car in question. this is rediculous. if my car is that hard to fix and that unsafe to drive i feel that ford needs to either buy our car back or get it fixed asap. it's caused a headache for my family and become another added stressor.

Takata recall. i have been waiting for my recall to be fixed since july of 2018. i received a letter from ford stating they would provide a rental car until they were able to fix the airbags. i contacted bob davidson ford and they said they would put me on a list to fix the airbags and to provide a rental. it's march and i still haven't heard from them. i contacted another ford dealership, bud norris ford, and they stated that they aren't giving out rentals anymore and ford only told me they were giving out rentals to get me off of the phone and they didn't have the parts to fix it. i contacted a third ford dealership, al packer, and they didn't have the parts to fix it either. so i have been driving around a car with airbags that could kill me with no one able to fix them. i don't know how you get on a list because i've talked to bree dealerships and not one has been able to fix the problem or call me back and tell me when they could fix it.
