What owners wrote

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).

Reported at 15,000 miles, January 2009 Crash

Takata airbag recall and steering bolt recall my car has been under recall since 2016, and I was just offered a rental vehicle from a ford on june 27th, 2018 - 'until further notice - renewing every 30 days' at only $30 per day, which is half the cost of a daily rental. Ford stated my car was unsafe to drive, and yet I have to pay out of my pocket to have a safe vehicle until they figure out parts? I cannot even trade my unsafe car in due to the outstanding repair severely decreasing the value of my car.
