2012 fusion sketchy driving


Recommended Posts

I literally bought the car from a dealership in which we have close ties to with the owner it was a 2012 Ford Fusion, it was the last thing I wanted to buy but got pressured into it by my parents and owe way to much on it then what I should’ve got it for, that being said it’s at 42k miles and it’s honestly the sketchiest thing ive ever driven, it swerves all over the lanes it’s hard to keep straight, there’s no way there is an alignment issue it’s been there since I got it, at highway speeds is so terrifying going 70, I drive with 10and 2 and it’s awful how much it moves around on the road, maybe it’s me cause I did get in a crash and rolled over 5 times maybe ptsd, but even my girlfriend agrees to, I had a 03 Chevy tracker that drove way better than this, is there a recall of any known issues for the suspension control arms etc. nothings broken it doesn’t steer hard to one side it’s just so hard to keep the damn thing straight.

Does this happen on all road surfaces or does it only seem to happen on some?  I ask because I know in some areas, the roads have grooves ground in to them to allow for water channeling, and I've experienced issues in the past where tire tread likes to track in and out of these grooves, and it ends up pulling the car sporadically in different directions.

 

I can tell you that, as a rule, the Fusions are good in terms of driving straight on smooth, flat roads.  This isn't a widespread issue.

 

How old are the tires on your car and that brand/model of tire are they?

 

Also, the first thing you need to do is take this to an independent shop that does alignments, etc.. they can tell you if something is loose, etc.. which might cause this.
