A drunk driver hit me twice the car was totaled , right rear damages , left front, and right front . i was hit on the right rear twice, hit a tree on the right front side than spun hit a log and a fence and than a large tree, the girl was going about 65 or 70 miles a hour. *tr
While waiting for a traffic light, without any warning a truck hit me in the rear and pushed me in front of the van also waiting for a traffic light. as a result my car sustained major damage to the rear and front and also my rear window was completely busted out. my air bag never deployed. my car was totaled. i was transport to the hospital by ambulance. i sustained a concussion and injuries to my neck, back, wrist, knees, ankles, feet and arms etc. i have numbness in my toes and radiates down my arms and legs. my face was swollen and have painful pressure and numbness in my face. i also suffer from sleepless nights from the pain and headache daily. and a host of other symptoms. i am haunted by this day and can still hear the initial bang and the feeling like i was going to be crushed. *tr
When the car is in motion a passenger will be sitting in the car and the air bag light will go on, saying the air bag is off. therefore it is not protecting my passengers in my vehicle. this has happened on a continual basis since i have had the car since 2013
During the month of september, my car began suddenly shutting off while i was driving. this happened multiple times on the highway and surface roads. i would pull over, turn the car off and wait a few minutes. the car would work fine afterwards. i first had the battery checked which revealed a bad battery, i had it replaced. the car continued to have symptoms after the new battery was installed. i also noticed the stalling happened more when i filled the gas tank completely. i finally took the car back to the place i purchased it for diagnostics. i discovered that the throttle body was defective. i was told by a tech that the manufacturer had assembled new throttle bodies to replace the originals as the original throttle body did not work properly. apparently, the intake was not opening/closing properly therefore the engine was not getting enough gas at times. the shop was able to pull codes from the previous stall events, p2111 & p2112. they replaced the throttle body assembly, ~ $300.00. i see many complaints regarding this issue and expect/hope a recall will be issued in the near future. as a side note, my abs light was on as well. there was a known recall on the driver's side air bag assembly, shorted to ground. ford replaced the air bag assembly at no charge. i hope this information is helpful. *tr

Takata recall, my vehicle is a 2010 ford fusion with the takata airbag recall notice. the vehicle is 9 years old and i have not received a notice to have any recall work done to fix this problem. ford is still building new vehicles but not addressing a serious safety recall. so basically nothing has happened to fix the problem!
Takata recall we have been having trouble with the dealership getting them to let us know when the parts will be in. it started in february then in may we got another letter about the recall nothing was said or done by the dealership. i was told i could drive my car but i have grandkids and did not want them to be hurt or myself so i parked my car unaware that we could get a rental car and that was until we called ford and enterprise. we got the car and now i am making payments on a car no dealership want for a trade in. getting frustrated and need to know what to do with a stuck vehicle i cant use if it cant be fixed we need a replacement we have had a lot of ford vehicles and have not had this problem before. very disappointed.
Takata recall i've been notified that my airbags might kill me. there are no parts available to replace them. this reduces the value of my vehicle by an amount i cannot estimate. of course, if it kills me, i probably won't care.
Takata recall on air bags is going on and on no end in sight. when will they finally fix it?
I bought a ford fusion 2010, jan 6, servicetrack light stays on, did not drive. jan 8 , send to dealer, dealer said rcm(module controls airbag,etc) is not working,order rcm from ford. they replaced the rcm for the new car, and i noticed that "serviceadvansetrac " prompt user at the start,comes with a warning sound, annoy and feels very unsafe,i deal with ford but they claim it is normal!!!!!. i think that this is still problem from rcm and it controls air bag, i am very very upset about the car. *tr
