2009 mercury milan auto climate. A/c is intermittent. I replaced all electrical sensors, drained and repressurized the system twice, jumped the compressor relay, it worked that way and was blowing cold.. Had it to the dealership. The dealership said low on freon and working after recharge. I drove it home, not working again. Went back to dealership next day showed the guy it wasn't working. Started to work. Drove home parked and hasn't worked since... help

I have a 2013 1.6L EcoBoost Fusion with just over 45.5k miles. Recently it has started to exhibit an intermittent steering wheel jerking when I begin coasting. It only occurs after 30-60 minutes of highway speed driving, then occurs at almost any speed upon removal of my foot from the gas pedal. There is an associated rumbling noise in the front end when the steering wheel twitches/jerks. It sometimes occurs during acceleration and during braking, but mostly during coasting (no gas, and no brakes). Sometimes this results in a pull to one side or the other but it is not consistent -- sometimes no pull at all. The steering wheel will move between 5-15 degrees when this happens. I have taken it to the dealer and an independent repair shop -- neither can get it to do it while they test drive it (they don't drive it long enough under the conditions mentioned above) and no codes in the computer. This is not the typical out of balance or out of alignment problems -- very familiar with those symptoms. Sometimes it reminds me of the digital nature of ABS pulsing during heavy breaking. The frequency (cycles per second) of the twitching and rumbling does appear to be loosely tied to the speed -- lower speed, lower frequency; higher speed, higher frequency. I'd appreciate any feedback wrt similar symptoms

I have a 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Airbag warning light has come on intermittently since I bought it. Dealer replaced computer and has attempted fix of wire harness under passenger seat. Usually light is off by the time I get to dealer and they spend a day finding "nothing wrong". I suspect it is that harness when I have a right rear seat passenger but they cannot find it. Ford was no help. Advised me to take it to a dealer. Very frustrating and a clear safety issue but no one else seems concerned except me. Latest advice is to drive it directly to the dealer and not shut it off when I get there. Not much help when it is a weekend or when I am on a road trip. Anyone else had this? I always run a Vehicle Health Report at the time but the dealer says it is not helpful since it does not record specific codes.
