“My air has quit working for the second time in 2 yrs in my 2006 Ford Fusion. I took it to have it serviced the tech said that there was nothing he could do. That he had several other Ford fusions with the same problem. He said that the A/C compressor won't turn on. The A/C evaporator discharge air temperature sensor may have went bad. I would list to add this to the recall list. Thank you!”

“At less than 5000 miles my car would hesitate when going to accelerate. I have taken my car to the dealership at least 4 times for this issue. It is now in the shop again because when I would turn left something in the steering column was loose.”

NHTSA complaint #10183588, filed 2007-02, 5,000 miles

“When I was driving 55 MPH, the car did a little jerk like it had missed. No lights came on and I drove to the nearest side road off the highway and stopped. I tried to go further but only made it about 100 yards because I lost all power including steering. My car was half in the road so I was thankful this was not a high traffic road. The engine light came on and there was a smell. It wasn't the smell of oil but was a fluid smell. The car would not turn over and had to be towed to the dealership. It came up as a misfire 3 and they told me that they had to replace the coil. …”
