Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleMar 10, 2021
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Ranger, 2006-2012 Fusion, Lincoln Zephyr, Lincoln MKZ, 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, 2007-2010 Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX vehicles. The driver's side air bag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver-side airbag inflator or module with an alternate one, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 9, 2021 for the passenger side, and November 14, 2022 for the driver side. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/moduleDec 18, 2019
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

BOUGHT A USED 2006 FUSION 6 MONTHS AGO, AND THE SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT. IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER IT RAINED, AND WAS ACTING UP A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AFTER HEAVY RAIN AS WELL, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS MOISTURE GETTING TO IT SOMEHOW. REPLACEMENT WOULD COST OVER 600$ AND IF THERE WAS MOISTURE GETTING TO THE ORIGINAL ONE, HOW LONG WILL THE NEW ONE TAKE TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN, ANOTHER 4 YEARS? *TR

HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AT 50,000 AND ABOVE ON THE 2006 FORD FUSION... I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FORD HAS TRIED TO BRUSH IT OFF AS I NEED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT I MADE THEM CHECK THEIR SERVICE ALERTS... THERE IS AN ALERT OUT ON ALL 2006 FORD FUSION'S WITH A CERTAIN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SINCE THERE IS AN ALERT OUT ON IT. I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE? MY CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, IT SLIPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT WILL GET STUCK IN CAR AND VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON REGULAR ROADS AT REGULAR SPEEDS. AS IT WILL GET STUCK IN LOWER GEARS AS WELL. I DO PLAN ON GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE I NEED MY CAR, BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY SINCE FORD HAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR. WHAT WILL IT TAKE? FOR SOMEONE TO BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEIR CAR GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT WILL KILL THEM AND ANOTHER PERSON. I HOPE THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND WILL HELP THE NEXT MAN. *TR

I PURCHASED MY FORD FUSION IN APRIL 2006. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. DURING THE SAME YEAR OF PURCHASE, THE REAR LEFT TAIL LIGHT AND A FUSE BLEW. ABOUT A 1 1/2 YEARS LATER THE SAME REAR LIGHT BLEW. IN 2009, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANEL, THE AIR BLOWER BEGAN SPONTANEOUSLY COMING ON BY ITSELF WHEN THE AIR OR THE HEAT IS NOT ON,I REPLACED A BATTERY AND THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST IN 2010, TODAY ACTUALLY, I PARK MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. I PLAN TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND RESOLUTION TO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I HAVE PAID OVER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR ALL THESE REPAIRS, WHICH OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS UP. *TR

2006 FORD FUSION SE WITH 2.3L I-4 ENGINE. 75,000 MILES. TWO BOLTS ON LEFT ENGINE MOUNT FRACTURED CAUSING ENGINE TO FALL INTO ENGINE BAY. ENGINE FELL ON AND IS BEING SUPPORTED BY THE DRIVE SHAFT WHICH IS TOUCHING THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE CV BOOT TO RUPTURE. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH SUCH A FAILURE. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. HAD IT HAPPENED ONLY 10 MINUTES BEFORE, IT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED ON I-20 IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA AT RUSH HOUR AND WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOOK A RECORD OF THE INCIDENT BUT WERE NOT HELPFUL BEYOND THAT. I NEED A NEW ENGINE MOUNT, NEW CV BOOT, AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE ENGINE TO BE REALIGNED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 FORD FUSION THAT HAS DEVELOPED A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A VALVE BODY DEFECT WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN DATING BACK TO 2001. I FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM IN DECEMBER 2008, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED (ON A SATURDAY). MY MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 35129 (WELL WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD). I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK UNTIL SEPT. OF '09 FOR EVALUATION, AND THEY JUST DID A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. BACK AGAIN WITH SAME PROBLEM IN NOV. '09 WHEN THEY INDICATED THE VALVE BODY FROM TSB DATED 08/24/01. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE AT RANDOM TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION POPS INTO NEUTRAL WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY, TURNING A CORNER, OR ACCELERATING - THEN POPS BACK INTO GEAR, CAUSING THE CAR TO BUCK VIOLENTLY. CARS BEHIND ME HAVE NEARLY RAMMED INTO MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS SUDDEN FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND CORRECTED BY FORD CORPORATE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED SOME OF THE MORE SEVER INCIDENCES. THE LATEST INCIDENCES WERE YESTERDAY, 3/30/10. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS FORD CORPORATE, BUT THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

KEYS CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE SHIFTER MECHANISM. BUTTON BECOMES STUCK DUE TO POORLY MANUFACTURED PIECE AND CAR CAN SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AND ROLL AWAY AND CAUSE INJURY. KEYS CAN'T BE REMOVED, DOORS CAN'T BE LOCKED. $400+ TO FIX AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE PART? THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AS IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED HUNDREDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND I CAN'T AFFORD IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR!
