235/45R18, the tires wander on grooved highways (groove wander). They throw the car left and right. This is a safety concern as it creates dangerous instability. Looks like the tire tread is incompatible with some road surfaces (grooved highways) and creates a safety hazard (car violently swerving at highway speeds). Wheel balancing and alignment was done to eliminate these as potential contributors. The store refuses to accept the tires for a return.

What owners say
Steering wheel constantly pulls to the right and feels loose. After many mechanic shop trips and new tires. The issue has not been resolved.
When driving the car at higher speeds the steering wheel pulls to the left or right. It feels like I have to work at driving the vehicle.
Takata recall I did a wheel aligment on 2015 ford fusion cause it pulls right real hard on acceleration.the aligment said it was just fine but the toe was out of adjustment in the front and rear tires.the car still pulls right on ecceleration and now its pulls harder sometimes.my other problem is I can't pull the seat to put it on it's stuck and ford is telling me it's not a warranty problem.I'm mad ford wont fix there screw ups and once this is fixed I will never buy another ford product again.
Steering will pull left or right uncontrollably this problem has been happening on a regular basis . While driving the steering will pull the car left or right without warning. It seems to happen when nearing a corner or curve in the road but is not limited to that. After several occurrences my wife is now afraid to drive the car. We had a close call when the wheel suddenly turned to the right while we were attempting to pass a vehicle. People can be seriously hurt or die from this problem. I have not seen any recall from ford on this problem and the dealerships I inquired at (2) have no knowledge of the problem. I am afraid it may cause a serious accident. This issue needs to be addressed,
Air bags did not deploy in crash. Dealer repaired said vehicle and seat belts work sometimes as well as instrument panel. Vehicle constantly pulls to the right. Dealer says nothing wrong. Other issues but not safety related.
Driving on most any road above 30 MPH the steering pulls left or right unpredictably. Steering at highway speeds through a long curve the steering pulls hard causing difficulty in maintaining desired direction. The symptoms I experience are well documented in class action suit: case5:14-cv-02989-hrl. The epas system coupled with pdc (pull drift compensation) causes the steering effort to be unpredictable. Ultimately the car is difficult to handle at highway speeds.
