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.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673.

TENSIONER PULLEY DISCONNECTS FROM ENGINE CAUSING THE DRIVE BELT TO COME OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE REFERENCED VEHICLE FOR (4) TIMES SINCE 2008 AND AT EACH TIME SAID VEHICLE WAS IN VARIOUS STAGES AS FOLLOWS: 1ST TIME WAS IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING A LEFT TURN; 2ND TIME WAS IN MOTION IN A PARKING LOT RIGHT WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPACE; 3RD TIME WAS PREVENTED WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A SQUEALING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS USED; AND THE 4TH TIME IT CAME OFF WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME. EACH TIME IT WAS REPLACED IT WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND EACH TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED PROPERLY. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A SQUEALING SOUND STARTING TO COME FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS BEEN STARTED BUT DIMINISHES AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. NOW I FEEL IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE UNTHINKABLE WILL HAPPEN.....

DRIVING WEST ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE COMING FROM THE JERSEY SHORE DOING 74 MILES PER HOUR IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN SUDDENLY. I FEEL A SHIFT IN MY CAR AND MY SPEEDOMETER STARTS DROPPING, MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT'S NOT MAKING A DIFFERENCE. 3 KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT ARE ASLEEP THANKFULLY. AS THAT HAPPENS A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I NOW HAVE ZERO ACCELERATION POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND NEED TO GET OVER 3 LANES TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND DRIFT OVER WITH A POUNDING HEART THAT I AM MY KIDS ARE ABOUT TO DIE. LUCKILY I WAS FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. NOW I'M IN A SITUATION WHERE I AM ON THE SHOULDER OF A HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AND NOT A CLUE IN THE WORLD OF WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I LOOK AT MY MANUAL TO SEE WHAT THE WRENCH LIGHT INDICATOR MEANS AND IT SAYS THROTTLE CONTROL / TRANSMISSION CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.IT'S A SUNDAY CAN'T DO THAT. I AM ABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO PICK US UP OFF OF THE TURNPIKE WITH 3 LITTLE KIDS AND GET IT TOWED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE, THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT ME AND MY KIDS DID NOT DIE. I'M ASSUMING THAT IS THE ONLY WAY SOMETHING LINE THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. PLEASE PUT YOURSELF IN MY SITUATION WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE BACK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND TELL ME HOW YOU WOULD FEEL? THIS REALLY NEEDS A SERIOUS AND QUICK LOOKING INTO.

Engine, Jul 6, 2018
IDLER PULLEY BOLT HAS BROKEN TWICE IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE. EACH OF THE BOLTS SNAPPED AND GOT STUCK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. WHEN THE BOLT BREAKS IT RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE STARTS TO OVERHEAT, AND OTHER ISSUES OCCUR DUE TO THE SERPENTINE BELT COMING OFF TRACK. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION.

DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AS I APPROACHED A PARKING SPOT AT A VERY SLOW SPEED; THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR; THE CAR DID NOT STOP. BACKED UP OFF OF A GRASSY AREA AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. THE BRAKES HAVE WORKED FINE SINCE THAN. CHECKING VARIOUS VEHICLE COMPLAINT SITES INDICATE THE TROUBLE IS VERY LIKELY THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND STEERING BOLT RECALL MY CAR HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE 2016, AND I WAS JUST OFFERED A RENTAL VEHICLE FROM A FORD ON JUNE 27TH, 2018 - 'UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - RENEWING EVERY 30 DAYS' AT ONLY $30 PER DAY, WHICH IS HALF THE COST OF A DAILY RENTAL. FORD STATED MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND YET I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT PARTS? I CANNOT EVEN TRADE MY UNSAFE CAR IN DUE TO THE OUTSTANDING REPAIR SEVERELY DECREASING THE VALUE OF MY CAR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ALREADY SPENT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON OTHER REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A TOTAL NIGHTMARE! JUST RECENTLY I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT AXLE DUE TO THE CV BOOT RUPTURING & MAJOR RUSTING. MY CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL STEERING COLUMN ISSUES, INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON THREE OCCASIONS, RESULTING IN REPAIRS. RECENTLY I READ THAT CARS MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO HAVE A BOLT IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CAN COME LOOSE - RESULTING THE DETACHING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A LETTER PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE - HOWEVER MY VEHICLE FALLS IN THE CATEGORY DESCRIBED ON THEIR WEBSITE.
