2009 FORD FUSION Wheels Problems

The potholes on the highway caused my tie rods and tires to explode!

WHEN I CRANK UP THE CAR THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT SAYS PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF IN THE AIRBAG SIGNAL BE ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL THIS IS COMING ON ON A REGULAR NOW AS SOON AS I CRANK UP IT WILL COME ON ON THE DASHBOARD EVERY NOW AND AGAIN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF SIGN WILL BE ON AND IT'S USUALLY WHEN I'M DRIVING

HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A BRAKE ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES PADS. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED, THE BRAKES STILL FELT OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO STOP COMPLETELY. TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC WHO THEN REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE MECHANIC, HE LOOKED OVER THE AIR AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY I WENT TO DUNPHY FORD WHERE THE GREETER STAYED HE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BEFORE I FINISHED EXPLAINING THE COMPLETE ISSUE. HE ASSURED ME IT WAS THE HCU (WHICH OF COURSE WAS ALMOST $1000 TO REPLACE) SO I HAD IT REPLACED. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR IT FELT FINE FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS. THE. THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN....

MY STEERING IS HARD TO TURN SO.E TIME AND MY SEAT. WILL NOT PULL UP IN MY CAR AND GAS I SOME TIME SMALL GAS

I WAS DRIVING AND ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR IT IS RAINING I WAS COMING UP TO THE SLOW CURVE 1 HILL MY ABS LIGHT TURNED ON MY BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP MADE ME SLIDE INTO A CURB NOW MY ABS LIGHT IS ON AND I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ISSUES. ALL 4 HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND TWO HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN THE COURSE OF 9 MONTHS. ONE TIME THE SENSOR BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN CLUNKING AROUND INSIDE THE RIM. IT WAS ONLY AN EXPENSIVE ANNOYANCE UNTIL YESTERDAY. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 TO 70 MPH ON A 4 LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR BROKE OFF. AT THAT TIME IT BEGAN TO SPIN AROUND WITHIN THE WHEEL WELL/RIM. THIS CAUSED A VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT WITHOUT SLOWING TO 50MPH. THIS WAS A BACK TIRE AND I SHUTTER TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD IT BEEN IN THE FRONT. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I WON'T TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE...

THIS WINTER I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSE TO TIRE PRESSURE DUE TO CORROSION ON THE ALUMINUM WHEEL SEALING SURFACE TO THE TIRE. WEEKS EARLIER I THOUGHT IT WAS A HOLE/NAIL IN THE TIRE, BUT THE TIRE SERVICE PERSON SAID IT WAS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE WHEEL SEALING BEAD AREA. THE TECH CLEAN THE AREA AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I ADDED AIR TO THE TIRE TO ONLY FIND IT LOST MOST OF THE AIR THE NEXT MORNING. AGAIN THE TIRE TECH SHOWED MY THE WHEEL BEAD AREA AND IT WAS VERY CORRODED, AND COULDN'T HOLD THE REQUIRED TIRE PRESSURE. DOES FORD HAVE A WHEEL CORROSION PROBLEM? MY EXPERIENCE TELLS ME YES. I WOULD HATE TO PASS THIS PROBLEM TO ANOTHER PERSON. *TR

WE HAVE A 2009 FORD FUSION AND I NOTICED HAIR LINE CRACKS IN ALL THE RIM'S, TOOK IN TO DEALER WHO TOOK PICTURES AND SENT OFF TO FORD THEY CAME BACK AND SAID IT WAS ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE AND WOULD NOT COVER. ALL THIS WAS DONE DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE WARRANTY.

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON ABOUT ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH. WE WOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND REFILL AS NEEDED. BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF APRIL THE LIGHT CAME ON EVERY OTHER DAY AND THE CAR STARTED TO PULL STRONGLY TO THE LEFT. WE THOUGHT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SMALL, SLOW LEAK IN THE TIRE, SO WE BROUGHT IT TO SEARS. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND A LEAK, BUT THEY LOCATED A CRACK IN THE RIM OF THE WHEEL. NO ONE KNOWS HOW IT GOT THERE. WE NEVER HIT ANYTHING. BUT THE SEARS TECH'S SAID THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE AS A SMALL HOLE AT THE BEGINNING AND IT GOT BIGGER OVER THE TIME. THE CRACK IN THE WHEEL IS WHAT CAUSED THE AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS MUCH TOO...
