2006 Ford Fusion body problems

Filed May 23, 2019 · Airbags, Body · TX · crash

I have already contacted the federal safety agency, reference # 11119887, I explained that the vehicle was sold to me on january 21, 2017 by al piemonte ford dealership in illinois. I had no knowledge that the vehicle already had an airbag recall on it and they sold it to me without disclosing this information. They later sent me my first recall notice in the mail 16s26 / the federal safety agency recall 16v‑384 we were involved in a car accident and the airbags did not deploy. When I went to my local ford dealer, where I was told to go, the ford dealership informed us that the recall was only for the passenger side not for the driver side airbag. I showed them proof of our accident including pictures from the insurance showing the ford dealer that neither of the airbags deployed during the accident. We provided proof and paperwork to the ford dealer. They only replaced one airbag for free and forced us to pay $536.41 out of pocket. This is our only vehicle and we have a small child. They told us the fact that the driver side did not deploy during the car accident is not there problem and there is nothing that they could do; so we had no other choice, we we're forced to have both airbags replaced. I have an official complaint put in with ford company, complaint # [xxx] I sent this complaint to their customer relationship center in michigan. I also sent this complaint to the al piemonte ford in melrose park, il where the vehicle was originally purchased. I also put in a complaint with the federal trade commission, office of defect investigation complaint #100426513 I have not heard back from anyone! No response back from ford, no response back from the federal trade commission and no response back from the federal safety agency. Do you have an update or any status on my complaint? Please advise. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

[xxx] : the inside door handle broke on front passenger side and driver side. They have been breaking for over two years now. The price to fix this is going to be 243.50 and the ford motor company will not fix it and will not give a percentage off. I am not the only one who is having this problem. It is all over the internet ways to fix this problem because ford will not fix. Or do anything. This is a safety hazard if you have a wreck or emerge in water you would not be able to get out. I think your department needs to get involved....they recall the ford f150 for the same thing, I am 68 years old and if I get into a wreck they will be no way for me to get out of my car.

I was parking in a bettendort, iowa restaurant parking lot when my car surged forward. I applied the brakes, but car would not stop. It left the parking lot, crossed a sidewalk and went onto a street near an intersection. I kept applying the brakes, but car still wouldn't stop. It collided with an oncoming car, crossed over a median and finally stopped on another street across from the intersection.

Interior front door latches broke around the 100,000 mileage. All four electric window regulators/motor have failed from the 80,000-110,000 mileage period. Each of the regulators plastic rollers where the cable goes around were broken. Two of the automatic door locks quit working as well. All motor mounts have been replaced at least once and 2 have been replaced twice each. 4-cylinder. I have seen 100's of complaints online about the motor mounts and many for the interior latches and window regulators. I have spent over a thousand dollars on the motor mount issues.
