What owners say about the structure

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety issue involving my 2015 Ford Fusion. The vehicle experiences intermittent power steering failure while driving. The steering assist will suddenly disengage and re-engage without warning, making the vehicle extremely difficult to control. This condition becomes even more dangerous in wet weather, where the vehicle is sometimes nearly undriveable. Additionally, I am now experiencing a popping noise in the steering wheel. This raises concern of a possible mechanical failure consistent with known recalls involving steering wheel bolt defects that could result in the steering wheel detaching. These issues are consistent with known recalls, including: - Power Steering Failure Recall (15V340000) - Steering Wheel Bolt Recall (18V167000 / 18S08) Despite these known safety defects, Ford has refused to repair the issue, stating that the recall has expired. This presents a serious safety hazard, including risk of loss of steering control, crash, injury, or death. I am requesting immediate investigation and enforcement of manufacturer responsibility for this safety-related defect.”

“My sun visor came off when I went to put it down while I was driving which almost led to a car accident on the highway. The one in my passenger side is doing the same thing.”

“The latch on the driver door is stuck and I am unable to close my door. My car is a 2015 and I bought it used. I have not received a recall on this. I saw that there was a recall for this reason but it does not cover my year. What do I do?”
