2006 Ford Fusion Seats Problems

“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. …”

“I purchased a 2006 Ford Fusion sel v6 sept. 30, 2006. After picking up the car from the dealer from a previous fix on an engine sound that they never fix or have fix by now. The lumbar support broke without noticed. It broke in an instant. I tried to get it fix under warranty but Ford and the dealer denied to fix the problem. They even sued me in court for trying to get my car fix. But I won the case, and now they say that they will fix my car problem. That could be a problem if you are driving in the highway and suddenly the lumbar brake without noticed.”

“I had a passenger in the rear passenger side seat that could not open the door to get out. I had to go to the outside door handle to open the door. On inspection it appears the interior rear door handle has started to crack at the pivot point(spring return attachment point). The break causes interference with the rear door handle bezel and limits travel of door handle (door won't open). It appears the same thing is starting to happen on the other rear door. Car only has 85000 miles. It appears to be a design/manufacturing defect. …”

“The contact stated while driving various speeds, the lumbar support band in the driver seat fractured without warning. The band had been replaced twice and the problem had recurred. Updated 12/01/06.”
