Filed Jan 28, 2026 · Driver assistance, Steering · WA

One day the car was fine, next morning went to start car and was greeted by multiple failure warnings - Adaptive Cruise Control Not Available, Service AdvanceTrac, Steering Assist Fault Service Required, and Hill Start Assist Not Available. Efforts to restart without errors failed. Power Steering lost and unable to turn the wheel without great effort. Parked car and towed to dealer, Failure of Electronic Rack and Pinion Steering per the dealership at a cost of $2500 - $3000. Car Donated to Charity. Concern in submitting is a record of other recent failures of this year, make and model failing in much more dangerous situation than mine but appears that this part has reached its useful life without identification from Ford of the likelihood of failure on these older cars.

transmission fluid leaks through the left side axel. when filled several times and changed the axel and the seal, it continued to leak. I checked it in with a transmission shop and they said to me that many fusions have been leaking and they will try to change the pushing inside the cup.

Was driving at about 45mph on [XXX] on [XXX] and there was a lower control arm failure on the front passenger side of vehicle. Caused the vehicle to be inoperable. I was able to have someone pull me out of the way to not impeded traffic with the car in neutral but was unable to do much with it. It was late at night so I was unable to really access the damage. My wife had our insurance tow the vehicle to my home a few hours ago on [XXX] and it appears the lower control arm is gone, the axle has detached from the wheel (axle still hanging from bottom of car), pretty bad damage to the inner wheel well, passenger fender, and minor damage to the front bumper and passenger side skirt. I had read there was a recall on this vehicle online and wanted to find out more about my options. The car has just shy of 100k miles and is a daily driver. So I am stuck in a bad potisition with this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car continues to shimmy and sway when driving at speeds over 40 MPH as if I need an alignment. I have changed the sway bar links, wheel bearings had an aligment and purchased new tires. Every thing done was recommended by jba glenburnie, where I purchased the car in april of 2019. I have taken it to mr. Tire, firestone and the dealer and no one can seem to tell me what this issue is. This vehicle is not safe with the issues I am having. The only other thing left to change is the upper and lower control arms but first I have to replace the fuel system. For some strange reason I dont think its in the suspension I beleive it is in the power steering componets of the vehicle. This really has me puzzled and I feel like im building a new car

I haven't even had my car a whole year yet and I have already replaced a transmission and now having to do the steering wheel/bearing/hub assembly I thought ford was okay until now I've spent so much money trying to repair this car.

I have 24391 miles on my car and I was told I need new shocks in the rear of the vehicle. I have never replaced back shocks on a car with that little bit of mileage. This should be a recall now ford wants me to pay 435.00 for this really? First time I have owned a ford. But will not be purchasing one ever again if I have to pay for new rear shocks.

Takata recall - as my husband was driving the vehicle specifically turning out of the gas station into the traffic, he was unable to control the steering wheel resulting in an accident.
