2007 Ford Fusion visibility problems

Filed Sep 23, 2019 · Visibility · 84,500 miles · KS

On my 2007 ford fusion which I have owned since 2015, whether stationary or in motion the sun visors will not stay in position and will droop, causing road visibility issues, making it difficult to see the road or block the sun properly. It has been an issue since the car was purchased.

The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap. The consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment. The seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it. The interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate. The engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.

Driving to work on date mentioned sounded like a shot gun went off in the car, my rear window shattered! I paid $285.00 to have it replaced! Upon removal of shattered glass the repairman noticed that my rear defroster electrical connection had melted and therefore was the culprit! It overheated and shattered the rear window!

I went to open my driver door to get out and I heard a pop... The handle is now loose. So in order to open my door I have to roll down the window, open the door from the outside, roll the window back up, and then turn off the car. I have read tons of complaints online about the same problem and ford is not issuing a recall. This is a huge safety hazard! If I get in an accident and am unable to roll my window down I will be unable to get out of the vehicle. This is a huge issue and very common. I am not understanding why a recall has not been issued for this.

Driver's side interior door handle broke. This is a safety issue. If I were needing to exit the vehicle in a hurry, I could not. If I were not able to roll down the power window, I would not be able to open the door from the inside.

Since I bought this car, streaks appear on the windows when you open and close them. I asked the dealer about this during an oil change and showed him first hand how the window was spotless and then I lowered it and raised it and it had vertical streaks from one side to the other. He told me he had heard this from other fusion owners and unless ford issued a recall that it could get costly to have it fixed. I avoid opening the windows because those streaks are distracting on sunny days and can give the appearance of something being there that isn't when turning your head to look or looking through the side mirrors. My dad just bought a ford f-250 and his doesn't do this so maybe it's the parts that ford uses on this vehicle that cause the problem.

I was driving on a east on a country road in the morning and the sun was in my eyes. I pushed the visor up against the windshield and it would not stay in place against the windshield. It returned to the vertical position, where it most obstructs visibility. Because of the position of the visor, I did not see a deer up ahead till the last minute, had to brake hard, and came very close to hitting the deer. These defective visors make driving extremely unsafe. I either have the sun in my eyes, or I have the visor severely obstructing my visibility.
