“My 2007 Ford Fusion makes a loud, hidious, noise when I turn my weels, even in the slightest. Hard to explain the noise but when it's colder outside it doesn't make it and when it gets hot outside, then it gets worse like something is expanding and contracting with the temperature outside. Anytime my tire's move that noise is made. Btw it is a awd wheel drive keeps getting water in tail lights and blowing bulbs maybe part of takata recall as well.”

“I brought my Ford Fusion 2007 into tires plus to have A/C repaired. I had thought it was the A/C sensor in the dash, as they are notorious for failing in this make and model. I was right. Despite this, I was not listened to (I'm just a dumb female, right?), and the mechanics replaced the compressor, clutch, and condenser, only to find A/C did not work. In the process, they also moved the motor mounts and the power pump and drained the car of all power steering fluid. I was sent on my way. I was literally unable to leave their lot due to no power steering!! …”

“2007 Ford Fusion 4 cylinder, manual transmission. Extremely difficult to control in winter weather. I have driven other manual transmissions on snow and ice with no problems. This car is terrible. I lost control once traveling about 20 MPH and did $2000 front end damage. Suddenly, the front went slightly left and the rear went to the right as I spun around, hit a mailbox post and barely missed a telephone pole. Otherwise I like the car except for the noisy 4 cylinder engine (over 60 MPH).”

“I parked my 2007 Ford Fusion at my house and I was unable to remove my key from the ignition. My steering wheel would not lock. I made sure that my car was in park, and still my key would not come put of the ignition. My boyfriend disconnected the battery, and tried to turn the key backwards and this was the only way the key could come out. We replaced the ignition switch, and the ignition switch sensor and it still not working. I would like for this to be reported and I would like to know how to fix the problem.”
