I bought my 2012 Ford Fusion brand new.
It was perfect until it hit 20,000 miles.
Then the whole thing started falling apart bit by bit.
my battery was the first to go. Only holding a charge for about an hour. I understand that batteries do need to be replaced every once and a while so i didn't think much of it.
at 23,000 my Rack and Pinion went out while i was driving, causing me to lose control of the vehicle while i was on a busy road. I couldnt even turn the wheel enough to pull over. I needed to stop in the middle of the road to restart the car.
at around 24.500, the transmission started hitting extremely high RPMs (4000 @ 30 mph)
I had the power train reset and no problems with it since. However around the same time my Heater bearing started going out causing a terrible "Chirping" Noise once turned on.
at 26.000 miles the dash and head lights started dimming randomly. I know that alternators could cause this, but you can hear them dim. Like a switch in the vehicle is flipped and it all becomes the dimmest setting about 15 minutes later the "switch" is flipped and they're back to normal.
27,000 miles (i'm currently at 28,000) i got a letter telling me that my throttle body is likely to give out soon and they're changing the warranty from 30,000 to 150,00 miles.
What the F**k is this?!
Has ANYONE had these kind of problems with a 2 year old car?!
its ridiculous! I need to know if i'm not the only one or it my car was just made on a friday.
Added (1). Right now i'm at 28.089 miles and the A/C compressor overheats
the radiator occasionally "bubbles"
and when i hit the brakes there's a noise coming from the middle console. When in park or in drive,
What i press the brakes it makes a "tick"
When i let off the brake it makes a "tock" when in sequence it sounds just like a clock. Lol
