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.

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).

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?
