THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON, WILL STAY ON UNTIL YOU CUT THE CAR OFF, BUT THEN IT MAY NOT COME BACK ON NEXT TIME. IT'S INCONSISTENT. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING, SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF A FEW SECONDS AFTER CRANKING LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO

1. AIR BAG SENSOR STAYS ON, AS IF I HAVE A MALFUNCTIONING UNIT THAT WILL BURST AT ANY TIME. NO MATTER WHAT I DO, IT ALWAYS STAYS ON. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE SENSOR OR THE AIRBAGS OFF, SO I CANNOT DISENGAGE THEM AND KEEP THEM FROM EXPLODING UNNECESSARILY. 2. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT IS JUMPED WHEN AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH GEAR AS IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FLUID TO ALLOW FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION.

I WAS PARKING BACKING UP WHEN THE HORN WENT ON THE FIRST TIME. I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE TOUCHED THE HORN SIGN ACCIDENTALLY. DRIVING AWAY FROM WORK THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME DAY, HORN WENT ON BLARING LOUD AGAIN BUT THIS TIME HANDS WAS WELL POSITIONED ON THE WHEEL. WHEN MAKING TURN LEFT OR RIGHT HORN WOULD SOUND OUT LOUD AGAIN. WHEN CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH HORN WOULD SOUND ON AND OFF. IT HAPPENED ALSO WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN THE TRAFFIC BLARING SO LOUD ON AND OFF TO CAUSE FEAR AND ANXIETY. THE HORN WOULD GO ON AND OFF EVEN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY CAUSING NUISANCE IN COMMUNITY. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE SERVICES DEPARTMENT AFTER HEARING THE HORN LOUD BLARING(SD) DECIDED TO DISABLE IT UNTIL THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC REVELED A FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING AFFECTING THE IGNITION AND AIR BAG. BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE TWO WEEKS BEFORE MEMORIAL WEEKEND MAY 2019, ISSUE OCCURRING UP TO THIS MOMENT.

ABS LIGHTS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS, THROTTLE BODY CONTROL LIGHTS, AIR BAG LIGHTS, EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHTS, REAR RIGHT BREAK LIGHTS ALL COME ON MY DASH, IT IS AT RANDOM TIMES, FIRST STARTING THE CAR UP, DRIVING IT FOR 2 MINUTES OR EVEN UP TO 10-12 MINUTES. SPEED, WEATHER OR MAKING A TURN OR JUST GOING STRAIGHT DOES NOT MATTER. WARNING LIGHTS CAN GO OFF EVERY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES OR AS LTTLE AS ONCE A WEEK. YOU CAN FEEL THE STREETING GET VERY TIGHT, ITS HARD TO EVEN MAKE A TURN WHICH IS NOT VERY SAFE. HAD MY VEHILCE IN THE SHOP FOR 25 DAYS STRAIGHT. WAS TOLD THE ISSUES WERE FIXED AND WITHINT 7 HOURS OF PICKING MY CAR UP ALL THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON.

CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BARELY MADE IT TO SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY FULL OF CARS. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DRIVE. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND REALIZED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO OWN 2016 FUSIONS AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IT. IT SEEMS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT BUT AT EXPENSE OF THE OWNER DESPITE THOUSANDS OF CASES. HOW CAN THIS BE? PLEASE ADVISE.

THIS VEHICLE IS AT 48800 MILES AND I STARTED TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS/ERRORS ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN: "HILL HOLD ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE", "SERVICE ADVANCETRACK", ABS FAULT AND AIRBAG FAILURE SIGN LIGHTS REMAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. AFTER THESE WARNINGS I LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. HOWEVER THE WARNING SIGNS DID NOT CLEAR AND I LOST ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND AIRBAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED WITH A FORD DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ERROR CODES THEY GOT FROM THE CAR WERE C0031 AND U0401. THE FIRST ONE IS RELATED TO A SHORT WIRE IN THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL AND THIS PART WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALER. HOWEVER, AFTER REPLACEMENT ALL THE MENTIONED WARNINGS/ERRORS REMAIN AND U0401 CODE REMAINED. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE ARE JUST FROM COMMUNICATION ERROR FROM THE COMPUTER OR THESE PARTS ARE ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE. I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE CAR RIGHT NOW. IN ANY CASE, ALL OF THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS ARE NOT RELATED WITH DRIVERS DRIVING HABITS, STORAGE CONDITIONS AND OTHER THINGS RELATED TO THE USAGE OF THE CAR AND SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, EVEN IF IT IS A COMMUNICATION ERROR OR WIRING PROBLEM. AND THE AFFECTED COMPONENTS ARE VITAL SO IF THERE IS A PRODUCTION ERROR, THIS SHOULD BE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE, BY LETTER, JULY, 2016. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT PART, TO NO AVAIL. THERE ARE NO PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES IN MY VEHICLE, AND THE COMPANY, AS YOU KNOW, IS BANKRUPT. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE, AND I AM A SINGLE, DISABLED, LOW INCOME (SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY) WOMAN, WHO HAS HER 18 YEAR OLD SON LIVING WITH ME, AND HE ALSO RELIES ON THIS VEHICLE FOR RIDES TO AND FROM CLASS OF A WEEK, AS HE DOES NOT HAVE HIS OWN VEHICLE NOR A LICENSE AS OF YET. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT MAKES ME AND MY SON, BOTH, VERY ANXIOUS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THE AWARENESS THAT IT COULD KILL US IF SOMEONE HIT US OR THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DUE TO THIS FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER PARTS. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENSURE OUR SAFETY? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
