| 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. | |||

| 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). | |||

| 2007 ford fusion - cracks in front subframe effecting steering yesterday i was informed by a ford dealer, don reid ford in maitland florida, that the likely explanation for the notchy feel in my steering wheel on my 2007 ford fusion is probably due to cracks at weld seams in the front subframe of the vehicle. i was told by another ford service tech that the issue could also be a bad steering column intermediate shaft as a result of this condition. this vehicle is 1 1/2 years old and so far the dealer is thinking it is not covered under warranty. i was told by this ford tech that the weld cracking problem is a known issue at ford and he agrees 100% that it is a safety issue. i can feel looseness / clunking in my steering when going over bumps and turning. this is not an alignment issue since, on the ford fusion, the front alignment is not adjustable. i am very concerned as to the safety of the vehicle and am being told it may cost over $1,000 to repair this obvious manufacturer defect. i first noticed this issue a few weeks ago on friday, august 1st while making a 3 point turn in a tight parking lot. the condition is progressively getting worse. please help. *tr | |||
