My 2009 V6 SEL steering wheel is worn and i would like to replace it with OE. Will a steering wheel listed for an '09 2.3 work? I have SYNC and know that I will need to swap the control switches. Just looking to see if the wheel will fit in the column.

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 -
On my new 2015 Fusion hybrid, I'm having difficulting finding the release lever to allow the height of the steering wheel to be adjusted. Is this an option that not all vehicles have? The owners' manual does not list it as an option. There is a T-shaped enclosure on the underside of the steering column, but I was unable to open it by hand. Should I try to pry it open with a tool?

I have a 2011 fusion SE. the the alignment has been a little off, pulling the car to the right while holding the wheel straight, causing me to have to turn the wheel a little to the left to actually drive straight. The dealer did an alignment and but nothing was corrected. when i asked them about it they told me that fusions are prone to drifting and there was nothing they could do. They also told me that there was no way for them or any other ford dealer to duplicate the exact factory setting for the electronic power steering system that's in the fusion. Has anyone else had this problem or am i just getting the run around from my dealer???
