  1. Saw your other post in wanted section. The steering wheel nut/bolt loosened I assume because I pulled on steering wheel too much getting in and out of car. I'm 6'5" 280. Thank you. I'm researching clockspring. It is awesome that you know what is causing problem.
  2. I rotated my steering wheel like the girl in the exorcist. Steering wheel lights didn't come on and airbag light came on. I was able to open the center cover, and tighten the bolt that had loosened. I then took it to get an alignment (lifetime alignment: firestone). Unfortunately I don't believe I set the wheel back correctly. At this point I'm not sure what to do (haven't spent any money on it yet). I met a ford dealership mechanic that said I'll likely need a wheel angle sensor or wheel position sensor (forget which one). He also mentioned that I'll likely need new steering wheel and airbag. Its hard to understand why I need a new airbag and/or steering wheel. Airbags are easily $4-500 and steering wheels w/ components $2-300. I looked on ebay, but wasn't able to find 2015 good condition steering wheel w/ air bag & components. I saw one for $178 for '13-14 model year. Ford dealership said the steering wheel part # for '15 is 3600ag. Would love to hear suggestions (i.e.- potential ways to fix with minimal cost).
  3. My steering wheel loosened up while I was driving. I kept driving for a couple weeks. Eventually it loosened up to the point that I could turn the steering wheel, but couldn't steer. The wheel literally rotated like the girl in exorcist. Once I fully rotated steering wheel the airbag light came on, and the steering wheel components (ex.- volume, cruise control etc.) stopped working. A ford dealership mechanic I met driving Lyft told me over the phone that I might need a new steering wheel, steering angle sensor, and airbag. From the dealership I think the wheel and airbag totaled around $700. The mechanic initially mentioned I might need a wheel angle/position sensor. I saw on ebay 2013-2014 steering wheels for a good price. The wheels price had a $20 standard deviation from a $180 mean. I asked parts department at dealership if '13-14 wheel would work he said its different part numbers. The part # for 2015 fusions is 3600ag. So I have two questions: 1.) Does anyone know if I need to buy new/used air bag and/or steering wheel (component don't light up or respond when pressed)? 2.) Does anyone have or know where I can get a steering wheel and airbag for 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid?
