Consumer Description
I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS. 1) TAKATA RECALL, FORD SENT ME THE NOTICE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND FORD RECALL AND FORD MECHANIC SHOP SAID THAT FORD HAD NOT MADE ANY REPLACEABLE AIR BAGS THESE PAST THREE YEARS. I JUST CALLED THIS WEEK. 11/2/17. AGAIN NO AIRBAGS HAD BEEN MADE. THE VEHICLE COULD BE EFFECTED WITH DRIVING OR STATIONERY. 2) DOOR LATCH STOP WORKING AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FORD CARS AND MANY RECALLS THAT DATED BACK IN 2015, BUT NOT ON THE FORD FUSION 2010? WHY? MANY OWNERS HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FORD FUSION CARS. SEE:LAST WEEK'S RECALL COVERS 389,585 2012-14 FORD FIESTA AND 2013-14 FORD FUSION AND LINCOLN MKZ CARS. FORD SAYS THE DOOR LATCH IN THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A BROKEN PAWL SPRING TAB, WHICH TYPICALLY RESULTS IN A CONDITION WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. IF A USER LATCHES THE DOOR, THERE IS POTENTIAL THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING. FORD IS AWARE OF TWO ALLEGATIONS OF SORENESS RESULTING FROM AN UNLATCHED DOOR BOUNCING BACK WHEN THE CUSTOMER ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT. DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES.IN MARCH, FORD RECALLED 213,000 2011-13 EXPLORER SUVS AND POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY VEHICLES IN NORTH AMERICA BECAUSE THE SPRING THAT CONTROLS THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES MAY PREVENT THE DOOR FROM LATCHING COMPLETELY. FORD SAID IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN THE NEW RECALL. IN JANUARY, FORD RECALLED 204,945 2010-13 TAURUS, LINCOLN MKS AND POLICE INTERCEPTOR. NHTSA UPGRADED AN INVESTIGATION INTO HUNDRED OF COMPLAINTS OF DOORS FAILING TO LATCH OR FLYING OPEN INTO NEARLY 486,000 2011-13 FIESTA CARS. NHTSA RECEIVED 207 REPORTS RELATED TO THE PROBLEM, WITH 65 DOORS OPENED INADVERTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. FUSION 2010 SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SURE! 225 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE FORD "DOESN'T JUST SELL THE SPRING YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT."
