2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid suspension problems

“Multiple mechanics working at and including but not limited to: Firestone, discount tires, Midas, Walmart, independent mechanics have informed me the rear wheels can not be realigned with the front wheels due to how it was designed. This has caused my rear wheels to become more and more out of alignment with no way to repair the misalignment. So all steering components have been more and more hard to control and are being destroyed at a faster rate. Including but not limited to: car sound deadening stuff. Bolts, nuts, screws, undercarriage, tire wear, the front alignment etc. It has not been inspected by anyone but mechanics.”

“MANY FORD FUSIONS HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEERING RACK. 2010 DOES NOT. MINE IS IN SHOP FOR REPAIR. ALSO, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT. COSTLY REPAIRS. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE STEERING. ALREADY FIXED THE TRANSFER CASE AND SWAY BAR.”
