Steering wheel had to be replaced at 68K miles, due to having been made of inferior materials, became a hazard in 3 days and was advised to not drive the vehicle due to the fact that the steering wheel could fail in emergency driving situations.

- Rolla, MO, USA

This vehicle is at 48800 miles and I started to receive the following warnings/errors on my dashboard when the problems began: "hill hold assist not available", "service advancetrack", ABS fault and airbag failure sign lights remain while I was driving the car. After these warnings I lost power steering assist and pulled over and restarted the car. However the warning signs did not clear and I lost ABS, traction control and airbags. I have contacted with a Ford dealer to diagnose the problem. Error codes they got from the car were C0031 and U0401. The first one is related to a short wire in the ABS wheel speed sensor at the driver side front wheel and this part was replaced at the dealer. However, after replacement all the mentioned warnings/errors remain and U0401 code remained. Dealer does not know whether these are just from communication error from the computer or these parts are actually defective. I am not able to use the car right now. In any case, all of the affected systems are not related with drivers driving habits, storage conditions and other things related to the usage of the car and seems like a manufacturing problem, even if it is a communication error or wiring problem. And the affected components are vital so if there is a production error, this should be resolved as soon as possible.

Got in my vehicle to drive it one day and my steering wheel was very loose. It wobbled on the column. Had to take it into a dealership. When they looked at it said the bolt was loose enough to unscrew with your hand.

Steering wheel is coming loose and feels like its about to fall off.

- Dublin, OH, USA

I was driving in a parking lot in scranton pa and the steering wheel came so lose that it almost came right off. It scared me to the point were I did not want to drive my car. Something has to done about this because I did some digging and found out that I'm not the first one this happened to. This has been a on going problem in Ford Fusion since 2014. If this keeps up more people will be hurt or killed.

- Archbald, PA, USA

My steering wheel became unhinged on its own and it became very loose. The Ford dealership claimed it was from pulling on the steering wheel, but that cannot be the case. I first noticed it driving into work and the steering wheel all of a sudden went left to right rather quickly. I didn't lose control of the car, but I believe that was the moment the steering wheel got loose. Then as I was starting to leave work that afternoon, the steering wheel just sagged down and made it difficult to drive. I have documents of the invoice from Ford. I really feel like this should have been covered under warranty.

Read a news article that said my steering wheel may come loose and that I should stop driving it immediately

- Senatobia, MS, USA

Takata recall, my steering wheel seems to be loose at the linkage by the pedals where the swivel knuckle is causing my wheel to be off center so while driving to go straight I had to turn it to the right to center it and it only has seemed to get worse even after having and alignment and tired roatated and properly aired up and correct tired and axles that came on the car stock from Ford. There has been play in the wheel since day one of buying it, dealer ship said just give it time to break in but it's gotten worse and now has cost me chiropractor bills to adjust me back since I have to hold the wheel cock-eyed while moving to drive straight.

Tamara recall

- Mobile, AL, USA

The steering wheel came loose. I was able to turn, tilt, rotate, etc on multiple axis (left and right as normal, diagonal, up and down, forward and backward) up to one inch before resistance was met. The motion occurred in the upper part of the steering column, only affecting the steering wheel. I was still able to turn the car, as I could feel the lower part of the steering column respond in the floor. The steering wheels increased movement occurred regardless of driving or stationary status. I have attached the invoice from the mechanic. It shows that the nut holding the steering wheel to the column, which is behind the airbag assembly, had a come loose.
