Engine warning display came on with "cylinder over temperature" immediately after temperature gauge went from normal (slightly under 1/2 way) to "Hot" immediately. Shut off engine - opened hood, coolant was noticed on passenger side just below coolant bottle. After waiting a little bit the tempature on the gauge hadn't dropped any & the radiator was cool to the touch. The day before washer fluid was added, while there the other levels were checked after sitting all night, the coolant was showing within the marked operating zone. Ended up calling for a tow truck.

UNKNOWN: Left rear door latch is not working, door keeps open after trying to closed it. Safety issue is door opens by accident during driving!

I was driving down the road. And front wheels stopped working suddenly. It’s better that I was on streets. Otherwise I could have met with an accident. My mechanic told me that steering rack had gone. I never get any recall for that. I had driven 1400 miles till now.

My drivers side door would not latch due to what I assume is issue that was recalled on similar vehicles

I bought the 2015 ford fusion for my son as a graduation present as he headed off to college on his own. The car started misfiring upon cold start for about 5-10 seconds. Eventually the car started misfiring while driving. He frequently had to pull over on the side of the road while driving to make it to his destination. I had him take the car to a ford dealership to be inspected. To my surprise, Ford Parks of Wesley Chapel told me that the 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5L ecoboost has a known issue with coolant leaking into the engine causing misfiring and eventually engine failure. They offered no assistance in fixing the problem. They told me the cost to replace the engine was over 13,000.00.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while reversing, the rear-view camera displayed a brief image, a blue image or a black image with the message " Rearview Camera Unavailable". The contact stated while reversing at an undisclosed speed, the failure recurred, causing the rear-end to strike a pole. The contact sustained a whiplash, and minor neck pain but did not seek medical assistance. The trunk of the vehicle sustained a dent. Upon looking up recall information on the Ford website, the contact became aware that the VIN was included in Customer Satisfaction Program Number: 25N17 (Rear-view Camera Replacement if Required after Dealer Evaluation). The dealer was contacted and scheduled a repair appointment; however, the trunk repair was not covered under the recall. The manufacturer was contacted and denied liability for collateral damage. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive coolant consumption, causing the low coolant pressure warning light to illuminate prematurely. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion in the combustion. The contact was informed that the head gasket or the engine needed to be replaced immediately to prevent further issues. Additionally, the contact was informed that the failure was due to a faulty engine design. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that although the model year was affected, the vehicle was not covered. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

While driving, the car’s acceleration started to slow down an no matter how much I pressed the gas, it wouldn’t go. I was only able to do 5 miles an hour. It was a loud noise like it was reving up, but wasn’t going anywhere. There was no warning lights. I did not have any issues previously nor had any repairs made. I took it to the auto repair shop the same day and they had confirmed it was the transmission.

I own a 2015 Ford Fusion SE. I bought it used when it only had 47,000 miles on it. Over the course of time since buying it in DEC 2022 until now, it has had low coolant that I have had to address but no visible leaks. Current mileage now is 87,100 and just recently the coolant was low again and the check engine light came on for DTC P0301 -Cylinder 1 misfiring. It has had rough start ups, rough idle, decreased acceleration, and poor fuel efficiency. I have found the problem to be Coolant Intrusion – Engine Defect Concern “Coolant intrusion” is a known engine design defect in which coolant leaks into the cylinders, leading to internal damage, misfires, and eventual engine failure. After researching it I found that many other people have had the very same issue with no help from Ford. This should be a recall as this is an internal issue with the short block and something that should have been disclosed before purchasing this model/engine. The only repair that will fix the core of the issue is replacing the entire short block which costs thousands of dollars, way more than the cost of the entire vehicle at this point. Without fixing the issue, the engine will fail. Again, this should be something Ford should pay to repair, not any customer who came into this blind.

I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety issue involving my 2015 Ford Fusion. The vehicle experiences intermittent power steering failure while driving. The steering assist will suddenly disengage and re-engage without warning, making the vehicle extremely difficult to control. This condition becomes even more dangerous in wet weather, where the vehicle is sometimes nearly undriveable. Additionally, I am now experiencing a popping noise in the steering wheel. This raises concern of a possible mechanical failure consistent with known recalls involving steering wheel bolt defects that could result in the steering wheel detaching. These issues are consistent with known recalls, including: - Power Steering Failure Recall (15V340000) - Steering Wheel Bolt Recall (18V167000 / 18S08) Despite these known safety defects, Ford has refused to repair the issue, stating that the recall has expired. This presents a serious safety hazard, including risk of loss of steering control, crash, injury, or death. I am requesting immediate investigation and enforcement of manufacturer responsibility for this safety-related defect.

While driving at 30MPH, vehicle lost power without any notice/warnings. Had the vehicle towed to dealer who misdiagnosed as transmission problem (quoted $8000 to swap). Had a second opinion and indeed it was the dreaded coolant intrusion in the engine, catalytic convertor which cause the loss of acceleration and the transmission was completely fine. This is a ridiculously common issue with the 1.5L engine and Ford has not offered any support other than "oh well" mentality. Prior to this, car lost coolant, I had to top it off every couple days, blew with smoke, sweet smell, all in line with coolant intrusion. Had the lines checked and repaired as recommended but about 6 months later this happened.

Coolant Intrusion in the Block Led to white smoke coming out of the exhaust thick enough that I couldn't see as I tried to back out of the road.

My steering gear motor attachment bolts have fractured due to severe corrosion, which is the exact defect described in Safety Recall 19S26. This physical failure was confirmed by a Ford dealership technician on 1/11/2024. The technician documented the fractured bolts and recommended a full steering gear replacement. Despite this, Ford is denying the recall repair because this specific VIN was not included on the original mailing list. The vehicle is now undrivable due to a total loss of power steering assist. Before it failed completely, the car was making whining and grinding noises during low-speed turns. This failure occurred in Illinois, which is a high-corrosion 'Salt Belt' state specifically covered by the 19S26 bulletin. By denying this safety repair, Ford is forcing an unsafe vehicle to remain on the road or operate with manual steering, which is a major crash risk. The failure was physically confirmed and documented by a Ford dealer. I want to note that while the previous recall 18S08 for the steering wheel bolt was performed, that was an unrelated interior part and did not prevent this exterior motor bolt failure. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate why a vehicle with a confirmed 19S26 failure in a covered state is being denied the mandated safety remedy.

My steering wheel came detached as I was driving. Forest is refusing to pay to have it towed to the dealership to be fixed. I do not understand why I have to pay $160 for a tow that was a defect of ford. At that point, it is no longer a free repair

The rear camera intermittently fails or displays a distorted image. I reported the issue to our local Ford dealership in April/May 2022, but at that time the necessary replacement parts were not available or in service. This was probably related to the various Covid 19 pandemic parts supply issues. Yesterday, while the car was being backed out of our garage, a young child was playing in the driveway directly in the vehicle’s rear blind spot. As usual, the camera was not functioning. Fortunately, an adult supervising the child noticed the situation and intervened, preventing what could have been a terrible tragedy. We have seen news reports about recalls addressing rear camera issues in many Ford vehicles—yet not for our 2015 Ford Fusion. How many serious incidents must occur before Ford takes action to correct this problem?

Internal transmission bearing know for the TSB 19-2391. There was no threat to my safety or others. Yes the problem has been confirm with the dealer. The components has been inspected by an authorized Ford Dealer, Shaker Ford in Watertown, CT. There were nothing other than a humming noise coming from the transmission.

The rear backup camera screen is black or flickers, and sometimes shows an error message like "Camera not available." Ford just issued another recall for rear cameras for this issue, but deliberately excluded Ford Fusion vehicles. They need to include ASAP as this is a known, dangerous issue that can cause an accident.

Rear view camera is not functioning. The screen goes black or a message is show to contact dealership. No sensors work nor a view of what is behind me. There are times I almost hit people or other vehicles. There are recalls for other vehicles but not my vehicle. There was no inspection but dealership will not fix it. Itsstarted 2 years ago out of no where. Please help!

Rear backup camera goes completely blank, shows a reversed imaged, or just an error code. Not part of the large recall in 2025. It should have been

Was driving g on the freeway and car began shaking about 1mile later rhe car would not go past 10 miles an hr without making a loud noise everything was upkept with my car ontop of all recalls and now I have a car that I had to finish paying off without being able to drive it for almost 2 years and can't seem to fund a solution on either the dealer fixing the power train or giving me a refund

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. In addition, the contact heard an abnormally loud bang. The power steering failure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The contact diagnosed the vehicle with rack and pinion failure and detached bolts. The contact stated that the bolts were corroded, and the rack and pinion gear had detached. The contact stated that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V632000 (Steering); however, the VIN was not associated with the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000.

On 2/4/26, I experienced a slight skip while driving, But did not continue. The very next morning while in reverse, A winding sound started. Put car in drive pulled out onto main road, drove fine, not even half a mile. Stopped at sign, pulled out onto main road a main road, and car would not go, would not go in gear at all. No one was hurt, but received a few horn honks. Made it to side of road, put the car in sport/manual mode, did not help. Manage to make it about a mile up the road where I was able to safely park it in a parking lot. The check engine symbol came on a couple of weeks prior, but went away after a day. Did not come back on until this particular day 2/5/26. Nothing, no problems leading up to this. Conveniently the extended warranty went out on car 4k miles ago! And the dealership is not interested in helping me out at all. I had to have it towed to an independent shop, to get checked out, due to the dealership being booked 2 months out! I now have a car that I have only had for 1 year! With a blown transmission that I have to make payments on and can not drive!! There are no recalls, but there is a manufacturer issue, that we do not get notified about by mail or by email..? I read another complaint about this same thing, guy also making payments on a car he can not drive!!! This is ridiculous!! And heartbreaking if I can not get help with this! And you can bet the dealership will receive a less than favorable review!

Brakes, emergency brake, brake switchs. Backup camera turns black while backing up. And yes it’s available for inspection. Car keeps braking and jerking in the other lane by itself. Emergency brake kept coming on by itself randomly. Also I almost hit someone when my back up camera went black. Yes the problem have been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Yes it have been inspected manufactures police and insurance representatives. Yes ever single light came on. Advanctrac light. Brake light, emergency break light, abs light and traction control light and tpms and airbags light.

My rear reverse camera has not been working properly. Sometimes the screen is completely black, sometimes the screen has lines in it , sometimes the camera acts like it is moving. It is very disturbing and dangerous. This is not weather related because it happens when it's sunny or raining. I can go a couple of days with out any issues and then randomly it has these issues. This has been going on for a while now so there isn't a particular day. This started happening early last year 2025

My 2015 Ford fusion 1.5 L engine has had problems since 2022. I have been adding antifreeze, changed spark plugs many times, flushed my antifreeze and the vehicle overheats and has had to be towed twice changed out thermostat, spark plugs, coil pack, two times for misfiring coolant housing with no success. Called in a complaint to Ford Motor Co. and they are unwilling to help. They said they put out a bulletin however this does not fix the problem of needing a new engine. I am stuck making payments on a car I cannot drive. My mechanic says it needs a new engine. Never realizing there was a bulletin or a coolant intrusion problem with this engine.

My 2015 Ford Fusion back over prevention camera system, is no longer working. I only get the black screen with error message "Camera is unavailable. Contact dealership". Which is creating a safety issue, while the vehicle is backing up. Reference Recall Number 25SA9 as many other ford products have the same issue. Many 2015 Ford models are covered under this recall. However, my fusion is not, because the recall only states 2016. My camera was troubleshot by a certified mechanic and was deemed a faulty camera by testing it with a different camera, and the system started working properly again.

Back up camera screen glitches and goes black when backing up. I have to pull forward and try reversing again to get the camera to work. When backing out of my driveway it’s an inconvenience but backing out of a parking space is a much bigger issue. Half way out of the space it will glitch distorting the picture or goes black with no picture.

I have lost power steering in the vehicle. The dash is popping up Service Advance Trac and Hill assist unavailable. I was looking into sensors and rack and pinion when I seen a recall, 19S26, which was listed for 2013-2016 ford fusions and Lincolns, but the recall isn’t specific to my VIN. As of now, the dealership of course won’t fix what is an expensive repair, although it does appear that my car should be included. The information cited salt corrosion in winter as a contributor. It is now late December in Northeast Ohio.

Rear camera continuously malfunctions with grainy/dark image, just completely failed with message on screen “Rear camera Not Available”. This puts myself and the people and vehicles around me at risk of collision when parking or reversing out of a parking space. This problem is common among many Ford Fusion owners.

The problem is the rear backup camera and I know Ford has recently issued recalls for certain models due to the camera being broken. The problem is that this is a 2015 model fusion and is being excluded from that recall but is having the exact same problems stated. It includes the camera not working, black lines appearing across the screen, or just flickering on and off. I think Ford should expand their rear camera problem to more years because it doesn’t stop at 2016 models.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V162000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and Ford Customer Satisfaction Program: 20R01, 22R01, and 25E01. The contact stated that after the vehicle was serviced, the vehicle was dropped off at the contact's residence. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact called the dealer, and the dealer picked up the vehicle. The contact was informed that the vehicle displayed a fuel pressure and ambient air temperature sensor issue. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The vehicle was at the residence. The contact parked and stopped driving the vehicle due to the safety concern. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,383.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the rearview camera image was distorted. A message "Check with Dealer" was displayed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the contact related the failure to an undisclosed recall for 2016 Ford Fusion vehicles specifically. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

My transmission was serviced under the cable bushing recall - since then the main complaint is the grinding, loss of power, losing gears etc. the rear camera also fails to function over half of the time. this has been validated by fletcher car care. they said the transmission is now faulty. i have seen this issue repeated throughout the other safety reports on your website. this is an overarching issue that should've been addressed by the manufacturer. there were no warning lamps messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. this car is a safety hazard and it is negligence to allow the issue to persist. the problem was reproduced by the shop, fletcher car care - Fletcher Car Care is an auto repair shop located at 38 Heritage Park Dr, Fletcher, NC 28732 - the issues i believe began when the cable bushing began changing the linkage between the shifter and transmission around march. this was when i started having issues with the rear camera - the rear camera at times is full of artifacts and interference because i believe it is in a intermediate (out of full engagement position)

The rear camera has worked intermittently, it goes out and comes back on. It is a huge safety risk. Mg vehicle needs to be included in the recall.

Backup camera broken, works only at random times. The Dealer confirmed today it needs to be replaced. Other 2015 Ford Fusions have already been recalled for this issue. I am asking you to expand it to include his VIN.

the rear view camera has only worked sporadically the last few years. Ford has issued recalls for this but not for my vehicle. Dangerous backing out for my family and other drivers.

Rear View camera has distorted image or changes to a blue screen before saying camera unavailable. It is an intermittent issue that has been happening over many months. No accidents or injuries have been caused.

Rear view camera reverts to a black screen when the vehicle is put in reverse. The screen indicates an error. This has been ongoing for a year. The 2016 Ford Fusion has been granted a recall on this issue - why wasn't the 2015 model included?

Car began leaking coolant, overheating, smoking (white smoke) and misfiring on cylinder #3. Based on my research, this is an issue Ford knows about due to it being a defect in the design, yet I'm being told I have to pay to replace the engine. We replaced the spark plugs, coils, and nothing helped. We took it to a mechanic and were told we need an entire engine replacement and it won't be covered by Ford.

Back passenger seatbelt won't work. Mirror sensors go off randomly when no cars are around when I'm in reverse. Backup camera malfunctions and the screen turns black.

Backup camera is showing a distorted/flipped image while in reverse. Nor does the parking assist work. No incidents have happened, thankfully.

The backup camera only works intermittently causing blind spots. I have not had the car/camera inspected but can make it available upon request. The problem first appeared about 1 year ago.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while reversing, the camera image was flipped and backwards, and occasionally the screen was blank. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V442000 (Back Over Prevention). The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact was informed about a diagnostic test to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed there was no recall on the VIN related to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

I have been having issues with the vehicle where it will stall. This even happened when I was driving on the NJ turnpike, it stalled while driving and I had to pull over (thankfully I could) to restart the vehicle. It took the dealer 3 weeks to finally figure out the issue and tracked it down to a bad BCM (Body Control Module). I researched this further and found some interesting information. A significant number of 2015 Fusion owners report similar electrical glitches, with some experiencing a complete loss of power to multiple systems, including the center console, AC, and power windows. Diagnostics have identified water intrusion and corrosion in specific connectors, such as C134 near the front bumper, as a root cause, which can be resolved by cleaning and applying electric grease. However, a failing BCM itself is a common diagnosis, especially when multiple systems fail simultaneously and no other obvious cause is found. Replacing the BCM is a known solution, but it requires programming with the vehicle's specific as-built information and PATS key programming to function correctly; a new OEM BCM typically costs around $500. The BCM must be programmed using specialized diagnostic tools like Ford IDS software or equivalent, and the process includes steps like parameter reset, CEI configuration, and battery monitor sensor reset. While some owners have successfully bypassed the BCM using an external relay for specific functions like parking lights, this is a complex workaround and not a standard fix for a failing BCM. Persistent issues, especially those that recur after resets or component replacements, often point to a defective BCM, though other factors like a faulty wiring harness or a bad ground connection should also be ruled out. Given the prevalence of these problems across 2010–2019 Ford Fusions, some owners have advocated for a recall, citing safety concerns.

My rear view camera has not worked properly for almost two years now, and has progressively gotten worse over that time period. It will just go out when I’m in the middle of backing out of my driveway or a parking lot. It’s out more than it is on, and has almost caused a serious accident recently in a parking lot. It is an accident waiting to happen. It’s my understanding that this is a serious Ford issue. They have yet to acknowledge it though for my model. I’ve contacted Ford and the dealer to no avail.

My backup rear camera does not work more than half the time. The screen will go black or just not change at all and it will also say camera unavailable contact dealership. I have not been able to take it anywhere to get it looked at due to money issues. No warnings or anything. Just started one day in July 2025 and has kept doing it ever since.

I got an engine temperature warning, then I noticed the coolant reservoir was empty. I filled it back up and everything went back to normal. I was driving down the interstate when the check engine light came on. I had a few misfires and was able to make it back to a dealership, who then diagnosed the vehicle and said it coolant intrusion due to an engine block leak. Charging over $9000 in repairs

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the RPM was elevated; however, while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was repaired under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V011000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); however, the recall repair failed to fix the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had occurred after the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 100,370.

In November 2024 my back up camera failed. The dealership diagnosed a failed camera and installed a new one for $ 800. In July 2025 the camera failed again. It was under warranty but the dealer diagnosed the issue as a low power failure and replaced the battery for $ 600. This week the back up camera is beginning to intermittently fail with a message "see dealership for repair". I feel I may have spent $ 1400 for unnecessary repairs as the issue still exists. My Ford Fusion Hybrid is not on the list of Fords covered under the current recall.

The transmission lost Park function, shifter position indicates the vehicle is in park. However, the indicator on the instrument panel indicates the vehicle is in drive. This happened after driving the car, and when I parked it. This condition allowed the ignition key to be removed with no instrument panel warning message or warning chime while exiting the vehicle indicating the vehicle is not secured in park. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury or crash. I searched the problem online and found the problem was related a bushing in the end of the transmission selection cable. I was able to find the transmission cable. Upon close inspection, the cable was separated from the selection lever on the transmission. The end of the cable was missing the bushing. There was a safety recall in 2018, 18S20 that dealt with this problem. I had a replacement installed back in 2018. Now I am actually experiencing what the recall was supposed to correct/prevent. Is this recall still in effect? If not, can a new one be issued. I called a dealership, but they stated that the recall had expired.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The vehicle's backup camera is experiencing intermittent functionality issues, failing to provide a consistent display. This sporadic operation poses a significant safety risk when the vehicle is in reverse.

I have a 2015 Ford Fusion Ecoboost t back in 2019 took it to Ford for regular maintenance and they told me it had a recall for another engine (coolant intrusion) at that time I had no problem with my car so needless to say I was shocked . Now 2026 August 15 my car shuts down coolant temperature warning comes on , I pulled over had a mechanic look at it and he tells me the head gasket is no good coolant intrusion This is a safety issue and cars could catch on fire Called Ford they said nothing they can do . All I can say is shame on Ford they need to do the right thing and fix these Safety issues.

A previously recalled issue has reoccurred in my vehicle. I’d like to report it and understand my options moving forward. My brake light is on and will not go off! Message appearing “hill assist not available”

Front passenger door stopped closing on the 10th of July without any warning so I am forced into driving with a partially closed door tied with rope and I see that multiple people have filed a complaint about the same problem.

My rear backup camera has been malfunctioning for several months now. When it decides to work at all, it flips the image from left to right and vice versa. Other times the backup camera doesn’t even work. And sometimes it has yellowish lines going through the images which distorts other cars behind me even more. Ford needs to fix this at no cost to me. There’s a recall on their other backup cameras in other Ford models. Not sure why the 2015 ford fusion wasn’t included in this recall because it’s doing the same thing - flipping the images, which makes it confusing when I’m backing up my car.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the engine overheating warning light illuminated.

The rear camera does not function properly on my 2015 Ford Fusion. When I try to use it, it either turns into a black screen or the message reads that "rear camera is unavailable", which has almost caused me to collide with another vehicle several times as I was trying to back up. I understand that there is a national recall for Ford Fusion vehicles from 2018 on for exactly the same reason. However, even though my Ford Fusion is a 2015, it demonstrates the same problem as the newer models listed in the recall. I would like to have my camera replaced (at no charge) as well, since I am dealing with the same safety hazard as the models listed in the national recall. Thank you very much for your understanding.

I changed my battery at 105,000 miles with everything working fine electronically for my 2015 Fusion. Been a great car up to this issue. After installing the correct battery, the power steering turned off and hasn't come back on. Took to dealership, they replaced a connection cable at their suggestion and still were unable to reset the power steering. That's where it should have ended tho. They want me to further come back to run more tests??? Something seems very defective to me and from social media reports of other Fusion owners and the nhtsa investigations, a power steering recall should be warranted. I have been a car owner for 40 years and never experienced this inconvenience. I think Ford is getting away with inferior electronics and passing the expense back to the consumer. It should be an easy fix but not one at $4000 (getting a new steering rack) just to change a battery?? :-( Please help!

Unintenional rollaway due to detached and degraded shift cable bushing. My car jerked me into a half spot when I pulled up to work this am. Upon looking, it would not go in gear at all. The gear shift says that it's in park and the dashboard says it's in neutral. Upon opening the hood and examining, I found that the bushing on the transmission cable was broken. I had no way to go so I called the Ford dealership and had someone let me pay over the phone for the part and I sent a coworker to pick up. Then I called a tow truck to tow my vehicle to Total Tire Care in Statesboro Georgia. I am going to have to pay the labor fee and also be without a vehicle all day. There are several 2015 Ford Fusions that have had a recall on this very part - but not my VIN. I think this needs to be changed and I should be able to have the cable inspected and replaced as needed.

I was driving on the highway in my car stop going then it start rolling backwards a little then i hit the breaks then put in park in put it back in drive then it started driving again then my brake lights came on and didn’t go off for about a week I have to unhook the battery I have a 8 year old son I was on the way to the hospital because my grand father was on life support when all this took place there was trucks going around us we almost got hit my three car thank god I made it home safe then I got. Home in my car just keep getting load as if I’m hitting the car there’s a load sound it makes when I start it up in i dont feel safe driving it … when out it being check out i really need some one to look at it

The vehicle started to over heat because the vehicle is loosing antifreeze through the head/engine block wall. This is a 1.5L Ecoboost motor. I had the water pump and radiator lines replaced 2022 by Gorilla Techs, but that did not fix the issue. It has progressively gotten worse over the course of two years. Other Ford owners, they have had engine repairs covered. However, the recommend solution is to replace the engine with a long block engine. This repair is a result of poor engineering. A new engine from Ford is priced at $6,000 and does not include labor or other one time use parts and fluids.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the RPM became elevated, the engine revved up, and there was an abnormally loud clunking or thumping sound before the transmission shifted into gear and the vehicle accelerated. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that there were contaminants in the transmission fluid, making the transmission fluid dark, and causing the transmission to fail. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000. The VIN was not available.

While driving car it begins to shaking and unable to accelerate than cuts off, will sometimes restart and can drive but does the same thing again, during this process a wrench symbol and check engine light come on. Had spark plugs replaced the first time, still was doing it. Also the throttle body removed and cleaned continued, so replaced throttle completely it’s been 2 days no issue so far, but the car belongs to my daughter and it happened while she was driving car was purchased used a year ago, this is the first time we had this issue not sure if previous owners experienced same issues.

My 2015 Ford Fusion with the 1.5L EcoBoost engine experienced a complete engine failure due to a coolant intrusion in cylinder 3, which is consistent with Ford TSB 20-2100. In December 2023, I brought the car to the dealership due to rough starting and a non-start issue. No coolant related codes were detected at the time. In May 2025, the vehicle began running roughly and showed codes PO316 and PO303. The dealership diagnosed low coolant and coolant intrusion into cylinder 3, with a rust and fouled spark plug. I believe this is a progressively safety-related engine defect that can lead to sudden loss of power and unsafe driving conditions.

I only have 85k miles on my 2015 Ford Fusion. One day the check engine light came on, my car started stalling, shaking, and making noise. I stopped the car and checked the engine- coolant was exhausted. Upon taking to get it checked- the head gasket and short block were blown/cracked. The coolant had leaked into the engine. This should not have happened on a car with this low of mileage. I did my research and this is a well known issue for Ford Fusions during this time range. I called Ford and they told me there is nothing that they could do.

Coolant Intrusion in Cylinder 2 and 3.

After check engine light and the coolant fluid low light came on, I took it to a ford dealership and was told that they found there was a coolant leak which caused the engine to fail and that the short engine block needed to be replaced and it would be 9000 dollars to repair. so we are now faced with paying for a repair that is double what the car is worth or get a new car. there was never a recall for the coolant leak even though Ford knows its a known issue.

Rear camera will go black and say contact dealer. Other times images will appear distorted or will be reversed where left and right are mixed up

Cable and bushing detached for a third time. I called ford and they said there was not a recall for this issue. I’ve read in multiple places that this has happened to a lot of ford fusions.

When starting the car this morning, I noticed that the steering wheel was driving kind of stiff and the car was kind of losing control while I was accelerating down the street. A while later in the day, my wrench light came on and then turned off, but a couple of months later a warning light came on saying Hillside assist not available, and then another warning light popped up after that one saying Service advance trac. So I turned the car off and attempted to restart it and the lights stayed on.

Rear view camera intermittently stops working entirely or shows a mirrored image (view is reversed).

My backup camera has started to glitch like the other 2015 fords that are in recall. The screen will get green lines through it, go black, flip horizontal/vertical, flash on and off, it creates more of a distraction than assistance and makes it very hard to back in/out of tight spaces. I have not taken it to the dealership. Right before the other recall was released I called the dealership and told me I’d have to get a whole new camera installed and pay out of pocket. Has not been inspected No warnings or other symptoms prior

The trunk of the car randomly opens even when in motion sometimes enough to block my rear window and often when I can’t safely pull over right away. This keeps happening over and over. It is not just one incident on one day but multiple incidents over multiple days.

The engine (1.5L EcoBoost) has suffered a failure due to coolant intrusion into cylinder 3, which has led to repeated engine misfires. Trouble codes P0303 (misfire cylinder 3) and P0316 (misfire on startup) were found. The vehicle is currently available for inspection, and a diagnosis was performed by two Ford-certified mechanics using a borescope, confirming the presence of coolant in the combustion chamber. The misfires cause rough running, hesitation, and potential stalling, especially during startup and acceleration. This creates dangerous situations in traffic, such as loss of power while merging or crossing intersections, increasing the risk of a collision. Both technicians concluded the engine has coolant intrusion and recommended a short block replacement as the only viable fix. I was quoted approximately $10,000 for the repair. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer (Ford), but despite acknowledging this is a known issue with the 1.5L EcoBoost engine in various Ford models, they are unwilling to assist with covering the cost of the repair in my case. The Check Engine Light initially came on intermittently and then became constant. Symptoms such as engine misfires, rough idling, and hard starts appeared around the same time, several weeks ago, and have progressively worsened since.

To keep it short. This is 1 of 3 Ford vehicles that I had to pay to have every lug nut replaced! They are 'swollen' is the term used. Prior to this, I replaced 1 lug in my 45 year driving history and that was because it broke off. I have called Ford and Lincoln and they are aware of the problem but say there is not program in place for a resolution. My complaint was escalated I was told. Hahaha. Their hand needs to be forced. They are not going to willingly do the right thing going forward nor address refunds! They have 'escalated' all 3 of my issues. I would imagine that there is a fourth coming at some point when my daughters car needs to go into the shop. $250+ a car is a joke and an expense nobody needs. Please help.

In March of 2022 the engine failed on the vehicle. When I took it in for repairs, at the dealership where we purchased the car, I was told the engine needed to be replaced because coolant had leaked into the motor. I was told when the repairs were made I would not have this problem anymore. Three years later the same issue has occurred again and I took the vehicle back to the same dealer. This time they are trying to blame maintenance; saying there is sludge in the motor. The problem with this is the oil was recently changed (within 3500 miles) and the mechanic at the dealership did not identify any sludge or coolant in the oil. The dealership was told by the service engineer not to repair the motor. I looked on line and there reddit forums from people across the country having the same problem. What they are saying is the same thing the dealer told me. Ford is blame the customer claiming lack of maintenance. This is just a talking point because what everyone is being told is the same. Ford needs to be place under investigation. Law suits against Ford are documenting Ford knew the ecoboost engines had defects from the start and do not have a way to fix the design flaw and are refusing to make amends. Additionally these lawsuits are documenting the band aid repairs Ford is doing is simple to push the problem off and later not claim responsibility when the same malfunction occurs. The owners of Ford cars with ecoboost engine are out tens of thousands of dollars and have endure hardship inflicted by Ford that go beyond the vehicle damages. Ford should be placed under federal investigation and I believe it is possible criminal conduct may have occurred given the position Ford has taken in and its continued failure to make amends.

Over the course of 3 weeks I started to notice a strong smell of gasoline after filling my fuel tank that lasted for about the first quarter of the tank. I did look around the car and under it to see if I could observe a leak, but saw nothing upon visual inspection. After about 3 weeks I observed a very strong smell of gasoline when I walked out to the car in the morning and observed gasoline on the rim of the passenger side tire as well as on the ground by the tire. At that point I looked up recalls on the 2015 fusion and did find one on the fuel system but was advised that it is not active on my vin. I took my car to a local shop where they found that both fuel senders were wet and leaking thus causing the fuel leak.

the rear backup camera does not work at all.i am elderly and cannot turn my head over my shoulders.the screen is constantly blue when i need to reverse and the message that the camera is malfunctioning is on the blue screen.Ford has a lot of rear camera issues on their late modle vehicles.they have admitted that vehicles going back to when they introduced the rear cameras that they do not work and it seems that the fusions have been forgotten about.THIS IS WRONG WAY TO THINK AND WE NEED A RECALL.I have friends and family that have affected vehicles and we are all complaining.Ford needs to own up to this and they need to do right or we will not be buying Ford anymore.Do Better Ford,lives are at stake.

Coolant is leaking into cylinder 3 of the engine causing a misfiring and code P0303 to present itself. White exhaust is seen when the vehicle is turned on. Lots of vibrations present and the check engine light stays on. My mechanic provided me with the documentation of what he found and said it would cost 14 thousand dollars to replace. Mechanic said to bring it to a ford dealership to confirm their findings. I went to a ford dealership and explained to them what was found by my mechanic and told them to do a diagnostic on their end. The dealership confirmed the findings and sent all documentation to ford corporate headquarters with price quotes and everything so that they can repair the issue since this problem is seen on all ecoboost engines in all ford models. Ford corporate denied everything and said that my vehicle was too old and that this is not a known "issue" with their vehicles. I searched online and found multiple people having several issues with ford fusions that have the ecoboost engine problems. Ford is denying everything and they know this has been an on going issue for a long time. The first time this issue appeared for me was on May of 2024.

3 times in the past 4 days my trunk has opened while the car has been turned off. Thankfully not while I was driving. Not Yet anyway. The doors have unlocked on their own while driving and parked. And the keypad light stays on all the time. There has been no warning lights on the dashboard. It is a safety concern, cause if it did that while driving (I’ve heard of others this has happened to) things can fly out of the trunk and cause someone to wreck. Or my car could get stolen. It’s at a ford dealership now, they’ve had it for 28 hrs and still don’t know what’s wrong with it or how to fix it. I’ve read where this has happened to many ford vehicles and no one has answers nor how to fix it. Which that makes no sense to me. I don’t understand how this isn’t already a safety recall. And what are people like me suppose to do, drive around and hope for the best since even the ford dealership apparently can’t fix it. So please help!!

I've had recurring issues of brake failure. Thankfully, none of the issues have resulted in fatality, injury or major damage. My most recent issue happened as I was leaving my job. I depressed the brake to put the car in drive and the brake went down almost to the floor. I hesitantly drove the car to an auto shop near my home and was able to have the brakes serviced. I have included that invoice (10.02.24) along with some invoices from previous issues (09.07.17) (04.12.18). There have been recalls made concerning the break line in Ford Fusions that were released around the same time as mine (Recall #23S12). I question if, although my vin number does not show in the recall search, my car should have been included within this recall. I'm concerned and I would like to know if I have any options toward reimbursement for these repairs and/or a complimentary inspection to make sure there is indeed no safety issue that is connected Recall 23S12 or any other Ford brake line recall. Please review this information and follow up at your earliest convenience. Thanks

I own a 2015 Ford Fusion with over 160,000 miles on it. I noticed a substantial loss of coolant inside the car and decided to take it to a Ford dealership in October. I was told that my coolant was internally leaking into the combustion chamber. I decided to research why this issue occurred only a few weeks after buying the vehicle. I discovered that the 2015 Ford Fusion's engine, the 1.5 Liter EcoBoost engine, has an issue where the cylinder walls are too thin. This leads to a crack in the wall, which causes coolant loss and possible overheating. So, with that in mind, I was cautious with driving it long distances in fear of overheating. However, on Friday, November 1st, because of the coolant intrusion, the car overheated and now cannot be driven and needs to be repaired by replacing the engine.

Check engine light, Code P0303. #3 cylinder misfire. Coolant leaking into cylinders 2 & 3 due to faulty casting of the short block. This was a known defect of 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5 liter EcoBoost engine by Ford Motor Co. No recall was issued. I was not notified of this defect until it happened. Ford covered repairs for some vehicles but not mine stating I was not within the required timeframe. I had to pay $7200.00 to repair this problem. I only had 80,000 miles on the car. I feel a recall should have been issued on all these cars since Ford knew about the defect. Please look into this and require Ford to issue a recall. Thank you.

When it gets warm outside, the seatbelt on the driver's side freezes in the resting position, so I cannot buckle up before I drive. It takes a while before I can use the buckle. This means I either drive unsafely to a meeting or wait for the inside of the car to cool down enough to buckle up to drive. I have let Ford know (case number: CXH-02550071-N4S4M4).

Power steering rack is completely destroyed and not safe to drive. I see recalls for other fusions for power steering , but not the 2015 fusion. I think this needs to be investigated.

My first problem is that when i try to accelerate the speed it acts as if it doesn’t want to go above the speed that I’m already going! Also my engine light pops on and off and says it could be a number of things such as my brakes and exhaust. The last problem is that my brake lights will not turn off at all.

Got an "Steering Assist Fault" indication on my dash and I can no longer turn my steering wheel. This is a well documented recall with older models but mine was not included in the recall. I've taken it to the local dealer and been told it will require replacement of the entire assembly. Older online reports said this was a $2,200 repair. I was just quoted $2,900 by the dealer. This is outrageous. Ford should not be allowed to get away with this. They positioned the electric steering motor (with enclosed electronics) next to the exhaust manifold. The electronics can't handle the heat being so close even with the stupid heat shield between the two. The recall should be extended to all Ford vehicles that use this technology.

Took vehicle to Ford dealership for routine maintenance 5 June 2024. At end of servicing, service advisor reviewed findings of the multi-point inspection with me (attached), advising all wheel lug nuts (20) on the vehicle were "swollen" and needed to be replaced; failure to do so will result in being unable to remove any wheel in the event of an emergency, i.e., flat tire, as the provided 19" lug nut wrench ( or any substitute 19" socket will not fit). Quoted price of $337.60 for nuts ($447.52 incl labor). I passed. Ordered one piece chrome lug nuts (20) for $40, and a $45 half size socket set (19.5mm) online and changed them myself. Research on the issue reveals Ford is aware of this safety defect of two piece swelling lug nuts, yet refuses to recall affected vehicle or remedy the safety issue. All affected vehicles need to be recalled and corrected by Ford immediately, our lives/safety is at risk with this issue.

Prior to leaving for a weekend trip, we filled our 2015 Ford Fusion with engine coolant, as it was low. After returning from the trip, we started the care and noticed some white smoke coming from the tail pipe. While traveling around 20mph, the check engine light on the dash began to flash, and the car began to shake violently. We pulled over, and identified that the engine coolant was empty. We stopped at a gas station to fill it up. Upon returning home, we scheduled an appointment with our independent mechanic, to check for a coolant leak. He was able to recreate the white smoke, after noticing that the engine coolant was empty again. He filled it back up, and 24 hours later, the coolant was empty, despite the car not being driven. He advised that there is a possible leak, and he would pressure test it. After testing it, he confirmed that there is no leak in the coolant lines, however, there is a suspected leak within the engine.

Transmission went out on the highway.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion.

The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

235/45R18, the tires wander on grooved highways (groove wander). They throw the car left and right. This is a safety concern as it creates dangerous instability. Looks like the tire tread is incompatible with some road surfaces (grooved highways) and creates a safety hazard (car violently swerving at highway speeds). Wheel balancing and alignment was done to eliminate these as potential contributors. The store refuses to accept the tires for a return.

Took the car in to have a tire replaced and was told the swollen lug nuts prevent them from removing the tire. I had issues with lug nuts on another wheel but was able to get them off and replaced them. I shouldn't have to be paying $27 for lug nuts that are defective.

Took my car to the dealership for an oil change and tire rotation. The technician told me they cannot get the tires off to rotate them because the tire lug nuts were swollen. He asked me if I wanted to replace them. I agreed after he said that if I were to get a flat tire it would be hard to get it off to fix it. Basically, this issue became a safety one. I never had an issue with swollen lug nuts with previous cars I had own. Thank you for gathering these type of issues.

Spent savings on my kid’s car. Now Needs New Engine I bought my kid a 2015 For Fusion from my best friend. It was under 100k miles. I purchased it in December. She had checked out, regular oil changes. She never had issues aside from the brake light. I paid $8000. With tax, tag, title and insurance start, it was over $9000 We take it in January took to my mechanic whom I have been using almost 20 years, very reliable and honest, for oil change and to fix the wiring of the brake light. That cost a few hundred. March the AC went out. That was about $1400. Then took in for next oil change and had to get rear brakes done, which was prepared for that one, it was time. That was a few hundred. Then the car starts shaking, take it back, they replace a coil pk and some other stuff. That was almost $300. I am almost $13000 in, it has taken my emergency savings. Breaks down again, told no compression in cylinder three. After he takes it a part, the piston is burnt up and has caused damage to the cylinder. It needs a new engine. I have to order the engine, which is $2700 to $3100 and my mechanic is gonna do it for $1800, which includes the additional parts like timing belt. I talked to ford as everyone I talk to say it is super rare to have to replace the engine under 100k miles. My mechanic said he read up on this car and the 1.5/6 turbo engines have a tendency to burn up. I think Ford should be responsible for this obvious defect. Not sure how to go about it. Ford told me that I have to have it looked at by the Ford dealership. The dealership said they could run a diagnostics & see if Ford will do anything but I have to bring them the car put back together. It took my mechanic 6 hours to break it down. He said he would have to charge me if he had to put back together. I dont know what to do.

1. The Ford dealership in Glendale, CA refused to do the brake pedal recall, but it shows as complete. The car was bought at this dealership and never had work done to the brake pedal. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 23V162000). 2. The car burns oil way quicker than it indicates. This has happened twice to me now where I had to replace the entire engine because I completely ran out of oil before I was due for a change. I check my oil religiously after that because there are no signs of leakage. I checked my oil [XXX] after having my oil changed on [XXX] and its bone dry I have only driven under 3000 miles. I still have over 2000 miles until im suppose to change my oil and its only been 2 months. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I took my vehicle into dealer because the steering was not smooth. It appeared to be hanging up and at times difficult to maintain control of the vehicle. The problem was diagnosed by the dealer as being “internal” to the steering rack. The vehicle only has 26,000 miles on it. A search of recalls was completed on the vehicle and two recalls were completed for “corrosion” to the steering box. One recall in 2015 and one in 2018. These recalls were performed on vehicles operating in states such as my own (Northeast Ohio) where road salt could cause the corrosion. I suspect that the corrosion entered my steering rack and is affecting the steering of the vehicle. Since two recalls were done involving the steering mechanism, maybe the whole mechanism should be replaced, as how can we be certain that the corrosion was limited to just the outside of the mechanism.

Within in the past year I have had to have my entire rear brake system repaired and they keep stating that the emergency park brake is malfunctioning and getting stuck. I have had those parts replaced and now I being told again that the same problem is occurring. There has to be an issue with the brake system that keeps causing this to happen after repairs have been made.

The vehicle exhibited zero heat when driving to work. It was operating roughly with misfiring occurring. Significant exhaust smoke was emitted during this time, enough to obscure vision in the neighborhood. I brought the vehicle to a repair facility, where they diagnosed it as extremely low on coolant, the probable cause of the lack of heat. A malfunction indicator light signified a misfire per the repair facility. They performed a pressure test on the coolant system, which held overnight.

Previously, about 5-6 times the car experienced sputtering and then stalling shortly after a warm engine restart. After 2 tries, the car would continue running. No check engine. No codes stored. Final time (before a scheduled shop visit) it stalled on a busy 4-lane road at rush hour and would not restart. Wife managed to manuever into the middle turn lane. Would not restart. Car displayed (unhelpfully) to check the owners manual. Towed to Firestone who found bad spark plugs (in particular cylinder 3) showing coolant leakage. Firestone seemed to be aware of the systemic issues (said replacing plugs was not solving the root problem, but they don't do engine replacements. Estimated that the car might run correctly for maybe a year. Car stalled again 3 days later). Coolant level was low. My experience seems similar to many others (ie., 2013-19 engine coolant leak). Car at dealership.

2015 Fusion with 1.5t ecoboost only 57,700 miles on it. Engine is bad. Coolant got into Cylinder heads. Ford is calling it coolant intrusion. Never heard of repairing an engine with low miles. Repair quote is $7,500. I guess Ford extended powertrain warranty on 2017 and newer to 150k 10 years. While my 17 year old son has to figure out how to pay for this. Ford customer care had nothing to offer, not even cover parts. I guess there’s a class action lawsuit filed.

Car was taking him for a recall on brake lines. Dealer phoned me and suggested that they replace the Lugnuts because they are a two piece. They are swollen and it’s a safety issue. I agreed to have them replace them at my cost because there is no warranty on these defective Lugnuts I see that this is an ongoing issue that Ford has known for quite a while. I think they should reimburse the people for the money they have spent on the dealer charges or just warranty them for the rest people that come in with the same issue. I also believe that my dealer is way over charging 10 Lugnuts will be about $100 for me to pay whereas I can buy a set of 20 of them online for under $20. I think this is outrageous.

My wife's Ford Fusion started having issues in 2021. I was responding to check engine lights for things like spark plugs, O2 sensors, variable valve solenoids, etc. Eventually, as these check engine lights continued, in 2022 I took the car into the dealer to have it diagnosed. They told me that the whole engine needed to be rebuilt. They obviously see this problem frequently, as the woman I spoke to had lots of familiarity with the specific problem with these Ecoboost engines. She said that engine coolant will leak into the cylinder and cause lots of problems like the ones I was experiencing, and can even lead to a fire. The only solution they had was to rebuild and replace the cylinder head for $10,000. It was not long after the visit to the dealer that the car starting misfiring. It is very violent and the engine is running on only 3 cylinders most of the time. It is not safe to drive anymore.

The dealership are full so you can’t get any recall done. This is a bad car and should be off the lots. I can’t get reimbursed for no work I put into this car because I didn’t take it to the dealership. This is unfair to me I work very hard for my money. This is about the third complaint I have sent and no one has responded. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND FORDS.

The right rear passenger seat belt to my 2015 Ford Fusion stopped functioning several months ago. The strap that goes over the passenger's shoulder is stuck for reasons I am able to determine.

My trunk keeps popping open randomly at least 6-10 times a day. It happens at night, during the day, when I’m out running errands. It might not happen for a day, but then happen for the next few days in a row. There is no rhyme or reason as to why or when it will happen. I have googled this problem on line abs see that it is a major problem with this make model and year. My trunk keeps getting wet because it does not stay in a garage and the rain just pours in at night if it opens during the night, which it has several times now. I took it to the Ford dealership today to have them fix a different recall issue and fix my trunk. The trunk did not pop open for them when it was there abs therefore they said they couldn’t fix it. I am very disappointed with this answer. I need my trunk fixed now with all the rain and eventual snow of winter and Ford has no answers for me, and hasn’t helped fix the issue with anyone else that I see with this same issue on line. This is definitely a defective issue that Ford needs to fix asap!! This is not acceptable and is a major driving hazard as it happens when driving as well. I wish I could afford to get a different vehicle but I can’t. This issue first started this June 2023. I changed my key fob battery as some suggested, but no change. When this has happened if I have been in the car I can hear a definite “clicking” sound in the trunk area. Possibly a faulty wiring system?? I want this fixed as I am moving to another state in a month and I am very scared to have this fly open on the highway and put myself and others at risk….hence why I took it in today to have them fix the recall and also replace the trunk so that it is fixed, but they said it didn’t open for them when it was it was in the shop for a couple hours and therefore there wa smithing wrong with it that they could see. Definitely not acceptable abd I need this fixed asap if this car is to be considered safe to drive for me and for others on the roads.

Headlights do not work. I have replaced the low beams bulbs 3 times since purchasing my car over three years ago and each time the lights only work for a brief period of time them seem to short out unexpectedly, for no reason whatsoever. The high beams have been replaced multiple times as well. I purchased the fluorescent bulbs for better night vision. The lights were bright for a short period them dimmed and are only as bright as they should be if they were on low beam. This is some sort of an electrical issue or something to do with a manufacturer’s defect. Since I purchased my vehicle almost 4 years ago, there has been an ongoing issue with the transmission or alternator. The car “jumps out of gear” when putting the vehicle into park or when shifting the vehicle into drive from park. There is also a constant loud “humming/vibration” sound that clicks on and off continuously once the car is initially crunk up. The passenger door is coming off due to the loosening of bolts I assume but I’m not certain. Nothing has happened to cause this issue. The power outlets in the vehicle get extremely hot at times and cause phone cords to heat up. This has caused my phone to be destroyed! The rear view camera is now blurry with lines going through it. This is only happening when the car is put into reverse and rear view camera is in use. The Bluetooth and media in the vehicle gets stuck on “Sync Line In” & at times will not change to any other setting. This seems to be an electronic issue as well. There have been MANY recalls on my vehicle and I have taken it to the Ford dealership for repair each time however, none of these issue have been resolved . I am a single mother who work’s full time and is a full time student. This is my only form of transportation. I should not have to worry rather or not my car is safe for my children and I.

I am here to have safety recall(s) performed on my 2015 Ford Fusion. They cannot do the recall without changing defective (rusted lug nuts) at a cost of $160.00.

Had to have my transmission replaced due to harsh shifting into 2nd & 3rd gear while driving, as well as when you slow down it would down shift in those two gears. Had the transmission replaced, and not even a week later after they also updated the ECU for the transmission, now this transmission that was put in is doing the exact same thing. Now a few weeks later my trunk is randomly opening while I'm driving or while I'm at work, ECT.

Short Block Replacement After Coolant Intrusion is affecting our model year 2015. Ford only placed a service recall on years 2017-2019 however the same issues are affecting the prior years and Ford is doing nothing to help consumers rectify this matter. Our 2015 Ford Fusion the 1.5L EcoBoost engine is exhibiting a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and run in a rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction. Our car dangerously broke down on road and Ford never sent us a letter of the known issue in their car.

July 1 2023 Me and my daughter were driving to go to fireworks and without warning the brakes went out completely. Hose busted on driver side

2015 Ford Fusion SE was taken in for multiple recalls on 6/14/2023. The recall that caused an issue was 23E03 Powertrain Control Module Reprogramming. After recall was completed, the gear shifter did not want to go in to gear, the gears were not wanting to change, and the times they did change they were shifting erratically. I was then only able to go 5 mph, and unable to make it home. The problem was confirmed by the dealership as they had to retrieve the car and take it back to the dealership to be looked at. When driving the vehicle, they confirmed that the gear shifting was "terrible". The vehicle is at the dealership waiting for the issue to be fixed as of 6/27/2023. There were no warnings or messages displayed at any point.

My 2015 Ford Fusion, which has under 76,000 miles, started making a noise and took more effort than usual to take a turn- and once turned (both sides), took a lot of effort to get back into neutral position. I brought the car to Jack Madden Ford in Norwood, MA, where they ran diagnostics on it- the steering column needs to be replaced. My concern is that there was a recall placed on some 2015 Ford Fusions (Ford recall #15S14) which dealt with steering gear attachment bolts. This was not a recall under my VIN, but I'm suspecting that it should have been- especially since this car has low mileage for a 2015 vehicle and is only driven locally. That recall specifically mentioned in states with inclement weather where salt is used on the roads which could wear down the bolts (MA is one of these states). I have brought my car to the Ford dealership for every oil change/recall/repair needed- I can't think of any reason this should have happened, other than a defect in the vehicle.

My 2015 Ford Fusion has only 75,000 miles on it. Last week, I noticed that my car was making a noise when turning the steering wheel. It started taking more effort to take turns, and my steering wheel did not make a smooth transition back after taking a turn. I brought my car to the Ford dealership, and they ran diagnostics- my car needs the steering column replaced.

The side mirrors adjust to a position on their own. They also become fixed in this position and are unable to move. Not sure why this happens. I saw some complaints of water exposure being the issue but I have not been able to test this theory. This issue becomes very dangerous when on any road but especially the highway

The contact owned a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving 22-25 mph in heavy traffic, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. The driver continuously depressed the brake pedal but the vehicle accelerated and crashed into the rear of unknown Honda. The vehicle continued to travel and seemed to idle. There were no warning lights illuminated. There was a police report filed. The air bag deployed. There was no report of a fire. The driver sustained a quarter size burn on her right arm but medical attention was not provided. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The contact was unsure if the local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred her to the NHTSA hotline. The contact stated that she failed to received a recall letter and the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number : 22V011000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

In April 2023 I received a recall letter, called immediately to set up an appointment to have it fixed. I was told the parts were not available, and to check back in June or July. Memorial Day weekend of 2023 I was driving home, when without warning, the brake line that is recalled had failed.. There was no warning. Thankfully I was able to coast to a stop. The dealership says the parts are not available. How long will this take.?

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while parked, upon starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact noticed later that the air bag warning light had remained illuminated; however, the warning light turned off independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the front passenger’s side seat belt. The vehicle was not repaired due to the contact declining service because she previously had the dealer replace the seat position sensor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to contact the NHTSA Hotline; however, a case was not opened. The failure mileage was 41,690.

On May 15, 2023 I got in my car, proceeded to drive off when I noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on the instrument panel. I notified the dealership the next day and dropped my car off on May 17, 2023. On May 19 a diagnostics test was run and revealed that I had a faulty seat belt buckle. I declined service on the car. This was shocking to me since I took my car to them less than 4000 miles and less than a year ago for the airbag light staying on again in 2022. At that time it was revealed that it was the passenger seat position sensor & it was repaired. In 2020 my car was also a part of Recall 19S25 for the seat belt. In 2018 repairs were also done on my car due to the airbag light coming on as well. I'm driving the car but now don't know if it is safe to drive. When I picked up the car, the light was still on but about 4-5 days later the light went off by itself. The passenger seat has barely been used since I purchased the car in 2015. After the repairs were done in 2022, the seat/seat belt has not been used so I don't understand how it can be faulty. It seems to me that there's a defect somewhere and it should be investigated. I would appreciate if this is given serious consideration. When I spoke with Ford Motor Company, they told me to contact you to have you investigate the matter. I am working with the Customer Relations Rep with Ford of Franklin- [XXX] at [XXX] regarding this matter. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My Ford Fusion hybrid is no longer safe to drive. I keep it parked in front of my work. I’ve had 2 Mechanics I know personally look at it and they both say the break line is cracked and is spraying out break fluid. I was driving in a stormy day and all of the sudden the break light, traction control light, slippery roads light, abs light, and advance service tech appeared. All at once I knew to drive slow and safe since I had no traction control. I restarted my car and all the lights disappeared. Than as I’m driving the next day, Low break fluid was on the screen but for only a second. And it did that every time I would hit the break. So I bought break fluid and filled it up. I pressed on the breaks many times and turned the wheel to the left so I can look in the wheel well I noticed the leak and immediately knew I needed to get it serviced.

The steering mount bolts (as related to recall 19S26) have corroded & broken off. This has been confirmed by the local Ford dealership. This has caused a very loud noise when turning the steering wheel, as well as the steering slipping/becoming stiffer. This can lead to no control over steering at all in the vehicle. I brought the vehicle into the local ford dealership immediately, & there was some confusion over what recalls were covered.

I was driving on the freeway yesterday, about 70mph driving conditions were good, it was sunny and warm, and traffic was flowing regularly, and I felt as thought something gave way or loosened up because the car and steering ability were not in synch. I was then approaching a congested area and needed to slow down but the brakes did not brake as fast as they should of and I almost smashed right into the car in front of me. There felt like a disconnection between the brakes, the steering, and the entire car. I have keep my care well maintained and do not miss my regular maintenance appointments. I just had it smogged, with a change of oil and 80k inspection. The tires were checked and everything was ok. There were no indicator lights or alerts however, I do have a light that will not shut off and i was told subject to a recall. It's the front fog lights? or running lights? its the front lights not head lights but the ones the side. That light doesn't impact my driving ability. This is a very unsafe and frightening experience and I would like it investigated before someone really gets hurt.

In July 2021 I had the CPV replaced because the purge valve was stuck open. Now, less than 2 years later, 45,000 miles later, I am once again having the same issue. Code P1450. Unable to bleed up fuel tank. Just like last time. My vehicle check engine light is on and after I get gas my car starts sputters and does not want to start.

My car has been losing power and randomly stalling for a while now. Today as I was driving it was happening more and then suddenly my brake pedal became hard as a rock, and the hill assist warning came up. It keeps stalling and will not remain running for longer than 2-3 minutes of being on. This almost caused me to ram several cars due to not being able to stop quickly enough. No lights came on other than check engine and it has not been inspected as this has only happened today. However the stalling of the car has been going on for about 3 months and I’ve been very pregnant and unable to have it looked at. The loss of power in the car happens and sometimes downshift’s extremely hard causing a loud jerk noise from the underside of the vehicle. Once turned off and turned back on it goes right back to normal until it decides to do it again. It can happen a couple of times or it can happen 100 times within a 5 mile period and I never know when it’s going to happen until it’s actually doing it. Extremely dangerous and I’ve seen several 2015 owners posting about issues of the 2015 brake system/bumper etc. I’ve seen recall talk but this site shows no recalls, please get this issue recalled asap!

Drove the car last on 1/18/2023, no issues with steering whatsoever; never saw a warning light on dash. Then on 1/19/2023, I had to go to work and attempted to make the trip.

This causes me worry and I think Ford should look into this or at the least perform a complimentary assessment of what is going on and offer some solutions to such an issue that apparently is not uncommon.

1. Front passenger brake hose split. 2. While driving the brake hose made an audible pop sound and fluid was released. Had I been driving at a high rate of speed (on an interstate) I could have created a multi-vehicle crash, potentially killing other drivers and, or myself. 3. I have a photo of the split hose. 4. I’ve inspected the issue myself and have photo evidence. It was not difficult to find the malfunctioned part. 5. No warning lamps or notices of failure. I’ve owned several cars, some much older than this current ford fusion and never had this issue with the brake hose. This could have been disastrous. I learned today that NHTSA opened a query into this potential issue in August 2022 and am recommending this be continued or reopened for investigation. This is not something to mess with, brake failure can be lethal.

Engine has a misfire on cylinder #2. Documented at dealership and has same issue as Id number 10213732 or 21N12 under Ford Customer Service. Build date for our vehicle is 07/14 which is not covered by this T.S.B., but obviously has the same issue as the bulletin. Car misfires while driving, accelerating and decelerating. I believe the build dates should be expanded to all 1.5 ecoboost with this issue, which is coolant intrusion by a poorly engineered engine block.

The lower A-Frame is a thick cast aluminum structure that is approx 11/2" thick where it cracked apart.

i bought a 2015 Ford Fusion from a dealer in May 2022 i had only been driving the vehicle a month & 1/2 before it began to smoke really bad, so bad to where the drivers behind me visibility was affected....I made it home safely not knowing if the car would explode because of all the smoke and the smell, and the overheating of coolant and warning lights. I called the dealer I bought it from they said they couldn't help me cause it was past the few weeks they gave me to call them with issues, but said i can pay their mechanic to fix it for over $4000.00 which I do not have because I am on disability with a fixed income. I am still paying the note for this vehicle which I cannot drive and cannot afford to fix. It is just parked. I don't know what else to do, I took it to the Ford dealership near me and they said the engine needed to be replaced and would cost 10,442.00 which is more than what i owe on the car...I don't understand why there is no recalls for this vehicle and others that Ford and other dealers seem to know had or have this issue. I have read online and heard on YouTube so many people have had this same issue with their Ford vehicles and can't get any help to repair them. I am beyond frustrated that people can lie so easily, manipulate or con people into buying a product knowing it will not perform the way it is intended. I'm asking for a recall on all the Fords that have this issue with the coolant leaking in the cylinders of the engine or whatever to cause the entire engine to need to be replaced. I'm a honest person and expect the same from others, especially the ones licensed to run business'. It is unfair to consumers who spend their hard earned money out here to keep the economy moving to be sold unsafe, tarnished, broken and knowingly corrupt products. Please help as many of us as possible, because a lot of us aren't rich, we are just hard working consumers hoping our money get us what we pay for! Fairness, Honesty and Quality Products.

A flaw in design allows coolant intrusion into the cylinders ruining the engine and requiring engine replacement. TSBs have been issued on this problem which is caused by a flaw in the design. The car drove fine Monday morning, 9/19/2022 On Monday evening, driving 80 mph, (which is the speed limit on the 130 Toll Road), the car suddenly started shaking, slowed and did not want to accelerate and the check engine light started flashing. The car was checked with OBD reader, error code P0302, a misfire in cylinder 2. The next morning, 9/20/2022, after confirming with Ford service that it would be ok drive, drove 5.5 miles to dealership, with the car shaking, vibrating & check engine light flashing. On 9/22/2022 we were told the engine needed to be replaced at a cost of about $11,000. After researching online, I found there is a known design flaw on the Ecoboost engines that allows the intrusion of coolant into the cylinder and the only repair is engine replacement. Ford has been aware of the flaw in design on the Ecoboost engines for years but continued to manufacture and sell them putting peoples lives in danger by selling a car that can suddenly lose power, vibrate violently and possibly catch on fire if it overheats. There is a Customer Satisfaction Program 21N21 covering the short block on 2017-2019 Ford Fusion Ecoboost cars but nothing on prior years. Per a Ford Customer Experience Specialist I was informed that financial assistance on my car ended at 7 years or 150,000 miles; any assistance they could have offered ended on 9/14/2022; 6 days prior to the incident. I was informed that how Ford determines financial assistance is proprietary and no further explanation could be given.. I understand the car is 8 years old; however, a well-built car with low mileage (53,590) should not need a new engine. What happened to Ford “Built to Last?” Ford needs to stand behind their products and do the right thing by covering the costs of repair due to a design flaw.

Failed Part: Front left brake hose. While starting the car in a parking lot, I pressed the brake pedal down and the brake pedal kept going to the floor. Threre was a severe loss in breaking performance and the brake warning message appeared and the chimed sounded. There was little breaking performance remaining, So I was able to make it across the street to Firestone Complete Auto Care Store #788339 (Phone number 757 312 8357) to have the the car serviced where the front brake hose on the left side was replaced Retail Invoice number #[XXX]. I should have insisted on replacing the other brake hose during the repair but the service advisor argued that it was not necessary. The mileage on the invoice is incorrect. Ford Motor Company has a Customer Satisfaction Program 22N02 for the same issue. When I scheduled an appointment the service advisor told me the other brake hose would only be inspected and replaced only if leaking. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have lost my brakes twice in the last year. Once on 10/19/21 and once on 09/07/22. The first incident on 10/19/21 I was driving and without warning lost my brakes and fluid was going all over. This was due to a rupture of the front brake flex hose. I live in Roscoe, IL and was visiting my mother in Burlington, WI. Thank goodness, we were driving in her neighborhood when this happened or it could have been devastating. This last incident on 09/07/22 I was pulling out of a parking lot when I noticed that my pedal went all the way to the floor leaving me with no brakes. This incident was the left front brake hose that ruptured. In both of these incidents, my car had to be towed to be repaired. Upon researching these problems, there have been many complaints of both of these same issues for other Ford Fusion owners. Last October after the first incident took place, I notified Ford and asked why some cars were recalled but not mine. All they told me was to save my receipts and maybe I could get reimbursed if my car was ever recalled. My vehicle is serviced per mileage and has never missed an oil change and maintenance check at the Ford dealership. Both of these incidents were not identified as a problem before they had happened and just all of a sudden i was without brakes. I am very thankful that I was not on the interstate or in traffic during either one of these times. Now, I am nervous to even drive my 2015 Ford Titanium and wonder when this will happen again.

Ford has been putting this Eco Boost engine in their cars for a very long time. They are two class action suits about this particular engine and that it leaks coolant into the engine. NO ONE told any of us consumers about this problem. In fact they put out service bulletins to the dealers but we were never told anything about it. You are also putting this problem into an engine category when most of those claims are specifically for this problem (11 is what you state but you need to look at your 184) . I am alerting all the complaints about this to file a claim about this very situation. This is truly shameful. You have a co. profiting over the consumer and no one is doing anything about the engine problem. We are now told the car needs a new engine at the tune of 8000+ dollars and honestly no one can even tell us when the parts are available! We could have made a more educated decision had we been told. 2) 1.6L EcoBoost Overheating Issues There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to problems with the Ford 1.6 EcoBoost engines overheating. There have been several lawsuits, service bulletins, and recalls related to overheating problems. In 2017, Ford issued a recall for some 2014 Escape, 2014-2015 Fiesta ST, and 2013-2014 Fusion models. The main issue seems to be running low on coolant, which causes the cylinder head to overheat, crack and leak oil. Some even ran into fires due to high pressure oil leaks. Ford added coolant level sensors as part of the recall. As of recently, there is a lawsuit that claims the Ford 1.6 EcoBoost has an inherent flaw. It alleges coolant leaks into the cylinders thereby causing corrosion, engine failures, and possibly even fires. We’ll leave it at that since there’s quite a bit of info out there regarding the recalls, service bulletins, etc.

As I was driving on 9/10/22 with my 2yr old daughter and the vehicle spontaneously lost pressure in the braking system out of nowhere making my vehicle hard to stop. I contacted my local ford dealership in regards to the matter but was very dissatisfied. A repair shop informed me it was the driver side brake hose.

I have had to replace both brake line twice in the last 7 years. Luckily, I noticed a puddle under the car & then the brake pedal went to the floor. Have been stranded at locations 3 times and the 4th time, I was able to get car home & then towed to shop for repair. I have contacted Ford numerous times about this issue with no resolution. No lights illuminated to warn of low brake fluid or low brake pressure. Even after pedal went to floor, no warning lights.

Spotted another puddle under the car. Took to local shop & told left front caliper is leaking and both front calipers need to be replaced. Also told the cooling line to turbo is leaking & needs to get repaired. Having vehicle towed to dealer as unsafe to drive. When I drove vehicle back from shop, low brake fluid light finally came on. I have also had both brakes lines replaced twice in the last 5 years & transmission replaced. Believe this car may be a lemon.

Brake line delaminated - had to replace after brakes went out completely. Paid out of pocket for repair after tow. Power assist steering stopped working abruptly. Had bolts replaced for earlier recall related to salt in states with winter conditions which could cause this exact issue of the power steering to fail. Hill assist is also not working.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH he attempted to depress the brake pedal and it failed to respond. There were unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle went forward and hit the vehicle in front. There were no air bags deployed. The front passenger side headlight and bumper were destroyed. The police arrived on the scene and filed a report. There were no injuries or medical treatment needed. The contact drove the vehicle to a local repair facility and was currently not repaired. There was no diagnosis of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to a manufacturer's recall (22R01) of brake failure from Ford Manufacturer.

Brake line failed when pushing brake pedal to shift from park.

MY CAR HAS BEEN SHIFTING DIFFERENTLY AND RUNNING ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND SAID THAT THE SHIFTING GEARS WERE DELAYED. SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE SHIFTING. I WILL CALL FORD DEALER AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING IT BECAUSE OF SAFETY. I SAW ON THE SAFETY WEBSITE A RECALL ON 22S43 DAMAGED OR MISSING BUSHING THAT MAY PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM SHIFTING INTO THE INTENDED GEAR. IM WONDERING IF THIS WOULD BE MY VECHICLE.

While I was driving home from work my car shortly turned off while I was on the freeway. Luckily it turned back on in time that nothing happened. A couple days later while driving home from work my car started violently shaking while driving since then I did not drive the car and took it to a mechanic for inspection. Soon inspection they found a Cylinder #2 misfire resulting in the need to replace entire engine. Car has 67,000 miles and has been kept in great condition. There is no reason for the engine to be breaking at 67,000 miles. I will now be paying about $8,000 for a new engine on a car that originally cost me $12,000. I have only had this car for 3 years. I am aware that the 2016 model of my car had a recall on the engine for a similar issue and I believe the 2015 should be recalled as well. Not only is a faulty engine a huge expense for the owner, it’s also a huge safety concern for the driver and other drivers on the road.

Code p2112, throttle body stuck closed. Lost power, no acceleration, no power steering. Has happened 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Check engine light comes on, no air bags, traction control or hill assist, messages pop up on dash. Too expensive too have Ford "diagnose" issue. No warning before this happens. There was no accident (yet) but it is my only vehicle so I have no choice about driving it.

Even after earlier repair for recall for potential steering failure, exact same problem occured while driving. Significant loss of control. Rack and pinion steering required to be replaced.

Front brake line rupture

While driving the breakline on the left side burst causing the brakes to totally go out.had vehicle towed to a ford dealer where they said the breakline needed replaced due to the linkage busting off.

The electric steering motor mounting bolts to the steering rack corroded and snapped off causing the vehicle to loose steering. This is a huge safety concern! If this would happen at freeway speeds it would cause a serious accident or even loss of life. Ford Motor Company had a recall for this concern for the same model year we own but Ford Customer Service told me that by the vin number our Ford Fusion was not included in the recall. What had happened is the exact same concern for the recall. At the present time this vehicle we own can not be driven ! I believe Ford’s recall number is 19S26. There is lots of information on the internet about this concern. I can’t understand why Ford Fusions from 2013 thru 2016 are involved in this recall but not all of them since all the steering racks on the Ford Fusions are of the same design. It’s a very costly repair if the owner can not get assistance from Ford. Please look into this matter. Thank you

The brake lights remain on, car started jerking in traffic, no control of car function other than park and drive. Call around dealerships, they either didn't have the part, reschedule me time after time, then I had to wait. Now car is not working

The block is cracked causing coolant to intrude into it. This intrusion is causing engine to perform poorly and has a hard time getting up to speed which could result in getting rear ended...especially on the interstate. It could also cause engine to overheat leaving us stranded on the side of the road. Ford is aware of this problem and has even redesigned the block but there is no recall for it. I have not drove the car to have it inspected but spoke with a dealership over the phone about what my car was doing and they knew exactly what the issue was. My car started off idling roughly followed by a P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire). This started a few months ago...changed out the spark plug and problem went away for a while but last week we got a message saying engine coolant was overheated. We no longer feel safe driving it anywhere.

Automotive Warning Lights: Multiple Light Syndrome (dash indicator lights) - at times while my vehicle is running all the warning lights start coming on and my steering wheel starts to get tough to turn (almost like it doesn't have power steering at all). The only thing that takes it off is if I shut off my car and restart it. This happens almost 5 times a week. It will show ABS, power steering, check engine and a bunch of other things. Just had the bolts that were recalled on the steering wheel fixed but this is still an ongoing issue. The vehicle only has 58000 miles.

The latch on the driver door is stuck and I am unable to close my door. My car is a 2015 and I bought it used. I have not received a recall on this. I saw that there was a recall for this reason but it does not cover my year. What do I do?

The car began to sputter when cold starting and after a couple of days the check engine light came on. I took the car to the dealership and they said the coolant system leaked into engine causing a cylinder to misfire. This resulted in the engine block cracking and was replaced. This was confirmed by two separate repair centers including a Ford dealership. There is currently a class action lawsuit because of this problem happening with Ford Ecoboost engines.

I am not sure what part or components, but I am experiencing a smell of some kind that is making me sick. As in, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, headaches and migraines. This only happens when I am in the vehicle and only at certain times throughout the day. I've been vacationing for several months now and this is a reoccurring problem. When I am driving the smell is trying to put me to sleep and I have to pullover on the interstate to sleep and I have been putting the windows down to try to stop the reactions I am having. But, the smell continues even when the engine is not running. That is the best way I can explain the experience that I am having. Thank you so much and have an absolutely amazing day.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while her husband was driving 20 MPH, the vehicle started shaking. While the driver was depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle failed to accelerate while the RPM continued to rise. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to park on the side of the road. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that coolant was leaking into the engine. The mechanic was able to reset the computer but continued to experience failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,325.

Steering Rack was faulty in the car, causing there to be no powersteering which makes the vehicles extremely hard to maneuver while in motion. hill assist and traction control warnings popped up and vehicle makes electronic like noises as you turned the wheel. Vehicles has been taken to an independent service center and issue has been confirmed. Looking at various forums, message boards, and speaking with my mechanic this is not an uncommon issue with Ford vehicles.

The contact's wife owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact previously had the canister purge valve replaced on three separate occasions. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with a cracked fuel tank. The mechanic informed the contact that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

2015 1.5L Ecoboost misfiring/running rough/coolant level low. While driving highway speeds engine began to lose power and shutter ultimately shutting down causing significant lose of braking and steering. Prior to this incident the check engine warning light came on and after having it scanned, code 0302 (misfire in cylinder #2) had caused the warning light. I replaced all four coil packs and cleaned the spark plugs because they only had about 30k miles on them from recently being routinely replaced. Light came on again when this incident occurred and once the vehicle was able to be scanned again it displayed codes: P0300 (random misfire), P0301 (misfire in cylinder #2), P0304 (misfire in cylinder #4) and P1450 (unable to bleed fuel tank vacuum). The car is no longer able to be driven. As soon as I started researching online what the issue could be it became very apparent that I was not the only individual(s) to encounter this exact same problem. After spending hours upon hours reading all of the reports involving Ford and the 1.5L Ecoboost, I assumed that my troubles were over. However, that was not and still isn't the case. Ford has admitted to a "design flaw" in the engine block of the 1.5L and even redesigned it. They also issued a number of TSB's (Technical Service Bulletin) detailing the symptoms, solution and parts. What they did not and to date have not done is issue a recall or offer to repair the thousands of engines that are affected by their "design flaw". I rely solely on my 2015 Fusion to commute to and from work in order to make a living. I still owe $4,807.18 on the car, following the TSB it will cost another est. $6-$8k to repair, but the problem I am facing now is I can't get to and from work to earn a living because the 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5L Ecoboost is not able to be driven due to "coolant intrusion". WHY ARE MANUFACTURERS ALLOWED TO FATTEN THEIR WALLETS BY CHEATING CONSUMERS AND NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS???

2015 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS RELATED TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 22V-011. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN.

Coolant leak into the cylinders. Car overheating due to low coolant.

This car will randomly shut off while driving at any speed on hot days. The display will say "Transmission not in Park" then the instrument cluster will go dark and the engine shuts off. There is no check engine light and there are no ODB codes presented. I have to wait some amount of time, which varies, before it will turn on again. It has also not turned on from sitting for more than eight hours on two hot days. This is very much a safety issue and searching the Internet I find it is not uncommon with Ford Fusion and Escape vehicles with no discernible solution being presented. My auto shop has looked at the vehicle and replaced the fuel flow sensor but it did not fix the issue. I have replaced the key ignition switch and immobilizer ring and pulled every fuse and cleaned the contacts with no resolution.

The contact stated that she had to disconnect the battery while the vehicle was parked to stop the battery from being fully drained. The contact stated that she then took her vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the failure was caused by faulty brake light switch. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.

As I was driving, it felt as if my car had turned off or had no fuel, but no engine lights came on and i had fuel in my tank. Also all my electrical stuff stayed on, only lost power on the accelerator. My safety and others safety was put at risk because there were no warning signs i just had no "Go power" and no one around me knew my car had no power which could lead to an accident, serious injury or death; if on highway traveling at high speeds and it randomly dies. I took my car to a mechanic and they stated everything was perfectly fine they did a full diagnostic and the computer didn't show any errors in operation. This happened 3 times in one day at random times, i could put the car in park and re-start and it ran fine. however i did have to hold the key forward longer for the engine to turn over.

Driving along around town and the power steering suddenly went out causing the car to steer very hard.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving and making a turn in the driveway, the steering wheel locked. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering gear box bolt was fractured.

My car has approximately 97,000 miles on it. For the last 6 months, I've been getting alerts on my dashboard ("Service Advance Trak", "Hill Start Not Available", and one or two others). This happens at slow speeds and fast also when turning. When these alerts start, I lose power steering. I've also noticed that when I apply brakes at slow speeds, the ABS engages for a few seconds. I was told by the dealer that I needed a new battery but that was not the issue. I was driving with my kids in the car and it happen mid driving on the highway. I almost got into a serious accident but was able to gain control in enough time to steer out the way. This is a very dangerous issue and I see that it has been recalled but only on vehicles up North due to possible salt and water erosion with the snow. Now the dealership is suggesting to replace it costing 1800. This is absolutely ridiculous.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately at 70 MPH and turning slightly into the right lane, the steering began to shudder. The contact was unaware of any warning lights being illuminated. Additionally, when the contact applied the brake pedal, it traveled to the floorboard. The contact lost control and went off the highway, crashing into a ditch. The contact had the vehicle towed to a collision repair shop. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired for collision damage only. A recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number 22V011000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) was received however the contact was uncertain if his failure was related to the recall. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

My 2015 Fusion backup camera has been intermittent or non-working for several years. I took it to the dealer who said it would cost $600 to repair, so I have not repaired it. Now I see that they have recalled 2015-2017 Mustangs for the same reason and wonder if my Fusion has the same defect that the Mustangs do.

When replacing a flat tire it was noted that the lug nuts are swelling and distorted. The mechanic said they must be replaced as it is a safety hazard.

Answer 1 engine and yes it is Answer 2 my car well driveing down the high way went in to limb mode and shut down Answer 3 yes ford dealer 2 diffrent times Answer 4 sudden and the light came on that said coolent over temp car in limb mode

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the power steering assist failed and the contact had to manually steer the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V632000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 70,100.

The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 150,008.

In August 2019 I reported to Ford that the brake lights were staying on all the time even when the car was shut off. I was still able to drive my car (Ford Fusion Hybrid 2015) to the Ford Dealer Ship in Sarasota. I was told they have to keep the car because it's a danger and not legal to drive with that kind of defect of my brake lights. I had to pay $ 1115.24 for the repair of the car . Ford had to replace the brake pedal assembly. My car was in the shop for a month. They also replaced the steering wheel bolt which was a recall 18S08. In my opinion I paid for a repair that is now a recall. Will I be able to get my money back and a compensation for not having a car for 1 month provided we are talking here about the same issue?

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH and attempting to make a right turn, power steering failed to cause him to be unable to turn properly. The contact stated that the loss of power steering caused him to slide off the road, however, he was able to brake and avoid a crash. The dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V250000 (Power steering) as a possible solution. The failure mileage was 53,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the oxygen sensor replaced. The contact stated that the oxygen sensor had been replaced four times previously however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact to call the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

The check engine light came on and I immediately took it to the local Hunt Ford dealer. Upon inspection, there was leaking of coolant into the cylinders and now the engine has to be replaced. The total cost for repairs is approximately $8300. I'm told that the problem has been corrected in the new engines. After talking with Ford Service and a local car repair shop in Franklin, KY, I learned that this is a common problem with Fusions and Escapes and both have replaced many motors. Unfortunately, my car has not been recalled nor was I made of the widespread problem through Ford (my engine is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine). I have done further research into the matter and I'm shocked and disappointed that Ford has not been transparent with consumers about this matter. I have taken immaculate care of my car, serviced it routinely, and always quickly responded to recalls. Now that I know more about the faulty engine, I do recall some random symptoms such as the car loosing a bit of power, smoke out of the exhaust, and the car shaking when started in the morning and having to restart it. All of the symptoms were random and did not consistently happen so I really didn't think much about it. I have a call into Ford's Customer Care Team and they are checking into the matter further. I noticed there's a class action lawsuit filed in Delaware about the engine problem. The firms representing the plaintiffs are Berger Montague PC and Capstone Law APC. I'm thankful that this issue did not put me in arm's way or the safety of others were put at risk.

The car recently misfired 3 times. I took into get oil change and have the misfire checked into. The misfires started 11/4/21. Car would run rough and then stall out. It would sit for a minute or two and start and run fine. There were no check engine lights or gage to show the car was running hot. I never dreamed it was a cracked cylinder. The Dealer performed EEC test diagnosis and found previous misfies in cylinder 1 in mode 6 of PCM. Found coolant level low, pressure tested cooling system and found that cylinder 1 with coolant intrusion. Short block replacement. I see online that there have been recalls on 2013 -2014 Ford Fusion and other 2013-2015 vehicles for this exact problem of a lack of coolant circulation causing an engine to overheat resulting in a crack in the cylinder head. In these models dealers were installing a coolant level sensor with supporting hardware and software at not charge to customer. Ford dealer is charging me $5,000 for short block replacement, which I feel is a defect of the Ford Engine Design. I purchased by car in Nov. 2014 so it only makes sense that this engine had the 2014 design problem. I declined repairs at that moment, to investigate the problem and asked for my car. The dealer stated they had to put my car back together so it would be about 20 mins. When I got the car back it seems to be running normal like when I took it in, but down the road about 3 miles the car started to sputter and stalled. After sitting a few minutes with flasher on in traffic on a major road, the car would start up and wouldn't go over 15 mph and continued to stall. I called dealer and they gave me the number to the towing company they use. The car was towed back to dealership. The Ford dealer is charging me $5,000 for short block replacement. They did file a complaint with Ford Motor Co. Customer Relationship Center and they stated the dealer had opened a case by no programs in place for assistance. The dealer is telling the consumer this occurred due to a Ford design flaw. If this is a Ford design flaw this should be a recalled item.

On January 1st I left my home to go to a store and noticed the cars shifter had a hard time finding the sport drive and would immediately pop into the regular drive mode. Upon leaving the store my shifter became extremely difficult to move into reverse to pull out of the parking spot. Once I got out of the spot it was even harder to move it into drive. Once it was in drive I drove it back into the parking spot and restarted the car. At this point it was still difficult to put the car into reverse so I figure I would drive the 5 minutes home and figure out what was going on after I got back. Upon getting home I went to put the car into park again and it was stuck in drive even though the shifter indicated the car was in park. I did some research and found there was a recall for certain 2013 - 2016 Ford Fusions because the bushing that connects the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade and break over time. On January 3rd I got the car towed to the dealership for the repairs and found that my car was not covered under this recall (Ford recall # 19S16, NHTSA Recall # 19V362000) as it was not manufactured at one of the locations identified under this recall. The dealership referred me to a corporate representative who told me they could not add my VIN to the recall, however they urged me to contact the NHTSA to see if my VIN could be added to this recall as this is the same issue as outlined within the recall.

Swollen lug nuts. 100,000 miles on vehicle. Had tires rotated at discount tires. They had a very hard time removing swollen lug nuts. Had to spend $60 to replace whole set.

Ford Recall from 2019, #19S16 FAILED ..the bushing they replaced as part of this recall has failed, causing the same safety issue the original recall was supposed to fix. The car shifter is in park but the car remains in neutral. Serious safety issue. Brought car back to the dealer that originally did the recall repair, but they refuse to fix this issue as part of the recall and the manufacturer says the recall only covers this issue ONE time. The car has less than 55k miles on it, and it has only been 2 years since this recall repair was done (also, last year the car was hardly driven due to covid). The original recall covered several types of fords - so many car owners are unaware that this bushing will fail again. What recourse do consumers have when the recall repair does not fix this issue????

Was hit in a head on collision and air bags did not deploy

The Car is making a sloshing sound in the engine, runs hot and will lose power due to overheating. This happen to me, forcing me to exit off the interstate (thank goodness I was near an exit). The check engine light also came on. Once the car cooled down (approx 45min) I was able to street drive home and have never been able to drive the car since. The code the car displayed once checked was P302/P1299. After looking online discovering a manufacturing defect from Ford causing coolant intrusion with this vehicles engine, I then got the vehicle towed to the dealership thinking the TSB (technical service bulletin) would cover the repairs needed (new engine long block) but it does not per Ford. The dealer gave me an invoice for the repair of over $8,500. The engine (1.5L, 2.0L) has several TSB's because for this issue from Ford but NO recalls to replace the engine. There are multiple years and models affected (2014-2019, Fusion, Edge, MKZ). I currently have a car that I can't drive and can't get any help from Ford to resolve the manufacturing defect. I hope you all can provide some help by encouraging Ford to recall the engines.

The failure mileage was 92,620.

The engine leaks coolant into the cylinder, which causes repeated overheat warnings which completely disengage the throttle.

Driving in very heavy rain on I93 at about 40mph, exited highway, after about 5 miles, no power steering, many other functions stopped operating, limped into a parking lot, tried to reset everything by shutting off and back on, no change. Brought car to dealer, said they had to replace power steering unit, $2000. This happened when car was only two years old.

The Display for sync / phone / radio / backup camera went black & now no display of backup camera etc. Reset does not correct problem. Fuse good. Disconnecting battery / reconnect does not correct. Known problem with other Fords Accessory Display Module & Screen. Very expensive failure.

I was driving home from work at 10:30p. I pulled out of the parking lot at work when I lost power in the motor. Traffic was flowing and almost got T-bones. Right before I pulled it off the road it started to jerk like I was riding a bull. In the parking lot I shut it off and looked under the hood and checked everything but everything looked good. Started it back up and it started to run fine. So the next day it over heated took it to Ford and told them what was going on. They said someone bottom your car out so I turned it in to the insurance and they started a claim Ford fixed it. 2 days later it did It again over heated. Take it back in they fix it again pick it up again 2 days later over heats again. This is the third time it’s been in there and this time they say there is a TSB technical service bulletin-21-2269 that’s been out for over a year. At this point they tell me that no one has issued a recall on it. For the safety of others it should be recalled because if I had my kids in the call and got hit or killed over it someone would be paying.

My car has approximately 110,000 miles on it. For the last 6 months, I've been getting alerts on my dashboard ("Service Advance Trak", "Hill Start Not Available", and one or two others). This happens at slow speeds and when turning. When these alerts start, I lose power steering. I've also noticed that when I apply brakes at slow speeds, the ABS engages for a few seconds. I was told by the dealer that it was the engine control module. I had it replaced and reprogrammed. However, the alerts and loss of power steering still happens though not as much.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid. The contact stated the rearview camera failed to turn on or would temporarily turn on while reversing. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed by an independent mechanic or dealer.

A few weeks ago, the Passenger Sun Vizor in my 2015 fusion suddenly came part. I have attached photos of the current condition. There is no change in handling as I have just used this as a support for the dashboard sunshade as a protection from the hot Arizona Sun. Currently the Vizor is hanging by its wire (Please see photos) and presents a big Safety risk from a visibility and handling standpoint (since its just suspending by itself). When I contacted Ford (via Twitter), they asked me to take it to a dealer to have it checked. Dealer is asking for $159 inspection fee which is absolutely ridiculous since a problem like this should be inspected and fixed for me (being a safety issue). I request NHTSA to take action by bringing this to Ford and getting them to review this issue for a possible recall. I would also like my Vizor to be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

I have a 2015 ford fusion with around 37000miles. But the sealing between air bag and passenger side dashboard are broken. I'm afraid that the air bag might pumped out under normal condition if the cracks are too big. I think it could be quality issue. It could be very dangerous and put our lives at risk. Besides that, there was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I called Ford customer service, they said that it could be their quality problem. However, they won't take the responsibility because they don't have recall for that issue. I think it put mine and my family's lives at risk, and I do need to bring attention.

2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L ecoboost While driving I have had loss of engine power posing risk in traffic. I refilled coolant and the misfire in cyl 1 inspired spark plug replacement. The problem recurs and I discover coolant in these engines has (secretly) known defect since 08 leaking into engine. At over 5 years though under 60K mi, Ford will not help / address the problem. Just did 3rd spark plug replacement and googled up the defect. Would love to get (long not short) engine replacement like other models have received with this. Would expect to get al least the reprogramming or other ideas for mitigation help from Ford.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the engine started to overheat as the check engine light illuminated the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that coolant had leaked into a cylinder, resulting in engine damage. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle for the engine. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

2015 Ford Fusion SE with 99k miles, well maintained and only two owners. Driving car down highway and engine begins to shudder. Pulled over as check engine lights were flashing and engine in critical condition. Had to tow car to nearest Ford delearship which is Maxwell Ford in South Austin, Texas. Ford mechanics determined it was MISS FIRE ON CYLINDER 2 VALVE BROKEN IN CYLINDER HEAD and need complete engine reassembly. Ford quoted $7,871.21 for a new engine block. Car not under warranty and they did not offer to pay. Also charged $238.07 to evac the AC. Reading about hundreds of complaints across carcomplaints (https://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Fusion/2015/engine/engine-2.shtml) as well as the current class action lawsuit that was filed in December 2020 (https://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Fusion/2015/engine/engine-2.shtml).

At approximately 80,000 miles, the abs censor came on, along with three other lights, one of which is traction control. The brakes begin acting out of control and power steering goes out. Mechanic came to look at it and told me that he’s seen a lot of the same problems with Ford vehicles, specifically fusions and fiestas. He told me it’s an ABS sensor in the electrical harness.

The automatic transmission shifter cable, which connects the shifter knob in the cabin of the vehicle to the shifter lever in the engine which controls the gear selection of the engine (drive, neutral, reverse, park, etc.), degraded and became detached while the vehicle was in operation. This led to a situation in which the shifter knob in the cabin in the car became non-functional and the car was stuck in "drive" regardless of how the shifter knob was adjusted. In my specific case, I used the shifter knob to put the car in "park" but the car continued to move forward under engine power unless the brake or parking brake was applied. This created a dangerous situation where it was assumed the car was in "park" mode when in reality the car would still roll forward under it's own power. This is a known issue and existing recall for many Ford Fusions with a 2.5 L engine. My specific trim level (Ford Fusion Titanium) came equipped with a 2.0 L turbocharged engine which is not included in the existing recalls but was produced at the same facilities as the recalled vehicles and experiences the same exact automatic transmission component failure as is covered by the recall on 2.5 L engines. I have had to pay to have this component repaired (~$100) since this incident occurred in order to get the vehicle safe and operational again.

Overheated warning light flashed then went off when car was cooled down for 45 mins and then started right up and no warning light was ever seen again to come on then drove car 30 miles next morn car wouldn't start.checked engine coolant and it was all gone no visible leak.. no warning light Refilled coolant car tried to start and put out white smoke from tailpipe. Car started barely and was rough running again no warning light showing drove car to mechanic and he said car engine was blown .. so looked on different forums and found that the Ford fusion and Ford escape motors the 1.5 liter was a real lemon and the overheat light warning of low coolant or overheating of engine has had problems for several years on these 2 vehicles that had the 1.5 engine in them .. you can no longer buy the 1.5 because they were so terrible that they quit making them is what I'm being told .. I would like this engine to be recalled for all the problems it has given thousands of people

My name is [XXX], My daughter stated that she was driving her 2015 Ford Fusion down the highway, and panicked when the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. She was pushing down on the brakes as hard as she could, and the vehicle would not slow down. Thankfully, by the grace of GOD, the vehicle eventually started slowing. She crept home afterwards. The vehicle is now at Mullinax Ford in Mobile Alabama. The address is 7311 Airport Blvd. Mobile Alabama, 36608. The phone number is 251-261-0238. The vehicle has 80 thousand miles on it. I have kept it in excellent condition due to the fact that I do not want her to breakdown in the middle of the road. However, I never expected that the vehicle would autonomously accelerate and potentially kill her due to a wreck. I am concerned that the vehicle can no longer be trusted. What can be done to resolve the issue? Will the manufacturer pay for the fix? Will the fix be professional, and actually remedy the malfunction? Do I have a legal avenue of approach? Will you please have someone investigate, and rectify. Can my daughter please have a temporary, or permanent replacement? This has been a burden due to the fact that she needs that vehicle to go back and forth to college. She will probably have anxiety driving the fusion if, or when the fusion is returned. I am asking for help. I do not know the system or component that malfunctioned. I do not know if the system has been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. My daughter noticed a hill start assist message on her instrument cluster at the time of malfunction. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard without warning. Despite the failure, the contact was able to drive at low rate of speed with her hazard light activated. As the contact approached her destination, the low brake fluid warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact pulled into a gas station and topped off the brake fluid reservoir however, the brake pedal continued to depress to the floorboard. Once the contact arrived home, she checked the brake fluid level and saw that the reservoir was empty once again. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer where she was informed that her vehicle was not under recall and was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and she was given the same information as the dealer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Since vehicle was purchased in 2014, it has had electrical issue with starting. It has needed a jumpstart at least 50 times and was brought back to the dealer multiple times with no solve. The dealer advised we just need to drive it more to charge the battery. A few weeks ago, the car would not start or shift out of park. A jumpstart was attempted and but the car still would not start. When trying to start the car, the warning chimes were beeping rapidly and the following message cycled on the display: see manual, steering assist fault service required, service AdvanceTrac, low engine oil pressure, engine coolant overtemperature, park brake malfunction service now. The car was towed to a Ford dealer. The dealer advised the battery, starter and alternator were fine. They said the car was fine and it then drove without issue for a couple weeks. A few weeks later while driving, it completely shut off and would not start in a turn lane. The headlights turned off and would not come on. The hazard lights were turned on but only worked on the mirrors, not the front or rear hazard lights. This was extremely dangerous as it was dark out and we were almost hit from behind. The police were called and blocked the vehicle for safety. The tow truck driver was unable to jumpstart the vehicle or get it out of park with a jumpstart power applied but all the displays were working normal so it was not an issue with the battery. The same warning messages that were displayed weeks earlier were displayed again after the car turned off: see manual, steering assist fault service required, service AdvanceTrac, low engine oil pressure, engine coolant overtemperature, park brake malfunction service now. The vehicle was towed to the same Ford dealer that said there were no problems a few weeks ago and it is acting the same as the day the the car stopped working in the middle of the intersection. This could happen on a highway or anywhere and shut the car down without warning.

Passenger side rear seat seat belt will not retract.

Door latch failed, noting that similar recall for millions of fusions were done , my car was not included

The car was being driven 30-40 MPH. There were no warning lights on and no prior issues. Power steering failed preventing the car from being steered. Luckily the road was straight and no cars were around. Car was stopped blocking the lane it was in. If the road was curving or traffic was around a crash would have been unavoidable. At time of failure lights started to flash including the message 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". Car was towed to dealer. Steering gear replaced at a cost of $2,997. Mileage on the car was 53,000 miles

I was in line at a drive thru and my brakes suddenly went to the floor. I was close to home so I drove carefully having to press the brakes all the way to the floor to stop,barely. I did a visual inspection and saw brake fluid coming from my right front brake line. The fluid was everywhere. The dashboard light came on when it happened. Thankfully I was not driving on the highway or this could have been fatal. The car is now 6 years old and I get regular oil changes and inspections along with routine maintenance. I carefully drove it early in the morning to a mechanic close by and it was confirmed that my brake hydraulic hose had ruptured. Mechanic says usually doesn't see happening this early on in car life. I have 75,000 on it. He recommended I replace the other 3 but cannot afford right now. The labor is expensive part. Also. Had to perform a brake bleed and add fluids again and clean up. A little over $400.00 just for that one side. Brake pads themselves are still good. Tires still good. Hope the others don't happen while driving in faster conditions or in traffic. This is dangerous, just hope I am the only one in the car when it does happen. Am planning on saving to fix the other hoses soon. I had zero warning indicators before it occurred. No pops, squeaks, or noises. It was scary, I don't trust my Ford and will not drive further than a close to home range.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while at a stop, the vehicle would independently shift into neutral without warning. The contact had to restart the vehicle to resume normal driving functionality. The contact had linked the failure to a defective powertrain control module (PCM). The contact had notified a dealer of the failure and was informed that there would be a three-week wait for an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

multiple warning lights come off and on while driving. When they come on steering becomes difficult. no one can determine the cause. there have bene multiple reports by others with this same make/model of happening to them and no mechanics nor dealership have been able to identify the cause

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle in a reasonable time. The contact's wife continued driving and noticed that the brake pedal went to the floorboard when depressed. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that brake fluid was spraying onto the ground while his wife was depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed that the front driver’s side brake line had ruptured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer awaiting the brake line to arrive. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.

On 7/30/2021 I filled up my gas tank at a local Sunoco. After doing so my engine would start and quickly stall. Thinking I may have gotten "bad gas", after several attemts of re-starting my car and while in neutral I reved up the car a few times between 3-4 thousand RPM's to posiibly "blow out" and any water or sediment which at the time I believed was do to the gas, and it ran fine for days and did not stall. I continued to drive the car to work and errunds with no issue, except for about 3 days after gas fill-up when my engine light came on. Although the car ran fine, on Tuesday August 2 2021, I went to local Auto Zone and they ran the diagnostic that indicated a P1450 error which said on the report "Replace Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Purge Control Valve". The following morning August 3rd, I called my Ford Mullinax dealership when they opened at 7:30, and the closest appointment was not until Monday August 16th ! (a quailfied local mechanic said he could not do the work and would actually have to send the car to Ford himself.) On the following day August 4th, I drove the car to work (a 76 mile round trip primarily on the interstate). The car ran fine on the way there and up to a point on the way back, until the engine made a intermittent very loud noise and did so after several times after, until the engine completely and unexpectedly shut down and narrowly missing a very dangerous rear end collision. I called AAA to tow my car, and when the driver arrived 25 minutes or so, the car was in a position which made it difficult to place on his flatbed tow truck that he arrived with. He asked if I could start it up, and I said I doubt it would but I was willing to try. Much to my suprise it fired righ up! I assume that it had time to cool down and that this was only temporary. Definetly NOT SAFE to assume everything was now ok ! From that 8/4/2021 day until today as I document this incident on 8/9/2021, I have been fortunate enough to borrow a friend's 2nd vehicle

Safety Recall # 18S20 Shift Cable Bushing was completed by dealer 03/05/2020 during a visit for new tires. There were no symptoms of gear issue at that time. On 7/30/2021 the Shift Cable Bushing (installed per recall) FAILED (less than 15 mths later). After parking car in a parking garage, put the car in "P" Park, the car was turned off, key removed, exited vehicle. The car rolled forward striking the parking garage wall in front of parking spot. Even though the dash & shift indicated the car was in PARK - it was not. No warning on dash. Called AAA that discovered the Shift Cable Bushing was missing causing the Shift Cable to be dislodged. Recall #18S20 was supposed to correct this issue. It did not. The front of my vehicle damaged. Ford redid the recall following day but the car needs auto body work. No response from Ford Corporate, which is in Manila Philippines.

The throttle body failed. Car went into limp mode. I used a code reader to investigate. Code was P211, throttle. Bought a throttle body at Ford dealer, $100.84 total parts with tax and throttle body and gasket. Replaced part and it runs fine so far. I was lucky to have been close to home when it happened. I did not find any recalls for this make model and year but throttle bodies commonly fail on Fords. It happened on July 31, 2021. Car had about 89,500 miles. Bought the car new from Bill Utter Ford in Denton, Texas in 2015.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the driver’s side front tire lost air and became flat, but the independent mechanic was unable to remove the wheel from the vehicle due to the lug nuts being swollen. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who replaced the lug nuts. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 48,000.

We bought this car at the end of May 2020. When we bought it it had 48,000 miles on it. We have had this vehicle for 14 month and have religiously kept up on maintenance. Started having issues beginning of July 2021. Today, 7/22/2021 we received notice that the car needs a new engine due coolant leaking into the cylinders. We have only put 17,000 miles on this car. There is absolutely no reason for it to need a new engine.

I have received a message on my dashboard regarding 1. Engine Coolant Over Temperature 2. Power Reduced to Lower Engine Temperature. I have taken the car to a repair shop Thursday and Friday. I believe car is a lemon. Have had the vehicle for only 17 days. I can’t keep calling off work due to non operational vehicle. I would like to get this issue resolved or otherwise I would not be able to pay my car note

Brake Failure/ Right side passenger side brake hose failed. Heard a loud pop while having my foot on the brake. Went to start driving again and when I pressed my foot on the brake I couldn't stop. I had lost all braking. Brake fluid poured out and had to use the Emergency brake when getting towed to stop.

Took car in to ford dealership to have check engine light assessed. Was told there was a coolant leakage through the #1 cylinder and I would need to have the motor replaced. I was quoted $7100.

While backing up the back up camera either immediately gives error message and is black, or begins to work but half way through screen will go black and give error message

BLUF: Safety issue related to the brake sensor pad failing, resulting in unpredictable engine performance. On 02JUL21, I went to eat lunch and parked my car as normal. When I returned to my car, I noticed that my brake lights were still on, despite the engine being off and me being away from the car for 30 minutes. At the time, i assumed that I must have bumped the key fob buttons, and did not overthink it. However, as I drove the vehicle, I noticed significant loss of engine power as I sped up. As in, I would attempt to accelerate (normal rate, not aggressive), and at some random point, the engine would lose power (as though in limp mode), and would not respond to further throttle input. This could be resolved by lifting my foot completely off the gas pedal and reapplying pressure. Then I would accelerate again for approx. 2-3 seconds, then encounter another loss of power (and corresponding loss of speed). As a result, my speed on the road was unpredictable, as the car was not responding to my throttle inputs properly. After a nerve-wracking drive like this, I attempted to troubleshoot the car, and found that the spacer/bearing pad that the brake sensor bears on had fractured into pieces and was no longer functioning. It appears that the car's computer believed that the brakes were being applied when they were not, and so the computer was putting the car into some sort of reduced power mode, but not giving any check engine light warnings or similar notifications (I checked with an OBD reader, no codes given). Ford does not sell a replacement part for this pad, so I have rigged up a short-term alternative, but I am concerned that if it, too, fails - or for anyone else encountering this problem - the erratic speed and inability to control the car will result in a traffic accident.

Randomly and without warning, the entire climate control system shuts off as well as the entire center console. The only message during this period is "temporarily lost communication with climate control". When all this shuts off, the drivers side controls for the windows becomes inoperative as well as the passenger side lock/unlock button. This renders a safety hazard because during times of heat and cold it becomes impossible to run the climate control or roll the windows down for any air movement. Also an extreme hazard is the passenger is unable to unlock the doors in even of an emergency. Occasionally when this happens, the air bag light will illuminate, causing unknown safety hazards in that aspect. I have contacted the dealership and was told it sounds like a potentially faulty computer module, or faulty wiring that could cost thousands to repair. The issue occurs 80% of the time the car is in operation and seems to happen more on hot days where it becomes critical to have air movement/AC.

Battery dies suddenly. No crank no start.

I just bought a new Battery. And I keep getting no crank no start. Rear suspension keeps squeaking as if it's not lubricated.

While driving, my vehicle stalled with no obvious warning. There were no lights displayed or other issues with the vehicle prior to this. I was able to press the gas pedal; however, it did not function. The car immediately slowed to a "coasting" speed while in traffic. This has occurred without warning on at least 3 occasions, all while in traffic. I have also noticed that this happens after having turned and after accelerating. This could have easily caused injury to myself and other drivers.

This is a complaint on the ability to get repair made under NHSTA 20V-177, Ford recall notice 20S15. Under the process set up by Ford Motor Company I am being told by 2 dealers the repair can take up 2 to 5 days with the vehicle at the shop. The labor time allotted by Ford for my vehicle is 1.8 Hrs to make the repair. Ford is NOT authorizing a rental car. It is my understanding that recall notices issued by NHSTA should not be any expense to the consumer and completed in a timely manner. How are consumers like myself, who is a senior citizen with only one vehicle suppose to get around? Or a working person to get to work. Why is the NHSTA letting Ford get away with this? Is this not a serious safety issue? Your response is appreciated.

Had dealer work on recall 18s20. Transmission linkage. After 9 days got the car back and the recall work failed with less than 60 miles traveled. creating a very dangerous roll away event. Basically the car was placed in park. The car rolled away.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed due to an engine misfire. The contact also stated that a quarter of a gallon of coolant was added within two weeks with the vehicle leaking coolant. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the spark plugs needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the engine needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown technical service bulletin. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Front left brake line hoses ruptured while driving. Replaced with OEM part. Ford had +/- 500k Edge vehicles recalled for same issue, but not Fusions of the same era using the same type hose material, likely from same vendor. Occurred in parking lot at slow speed, when brake pedal was pressed it went directly to the floor and all hydraulic pressure lost. Part replaced by owner with OEM part.

Front right brake line hose ruptured during use on highway to slow vehicle and disengage cruise control. While doing so a loss of resistance was noticed and vehicle was safely driven to a stop with E-brake assistance. Hose was replaced by owner with aftermarket part. Owner still has OEM part if inspection requested. Tracking number 11420735 assigned by NHTSA is for left brake line hose which ruptured 4 months earlier.

Dashboard shows "temporarily lost connection with climate system". When displayed, the air conditioning system (cold or heat) works. Other functions on dash board are also unavailable. Windows or door locks do not work. Considerable safety concern for all but especially a vehicle transporting young children and/or infants. Summer heats rise to unbearable to dangerous to deadly if not addressed. Ford apparently has no fix but the issue is well documented amongst Ford owners. Unsure why this isn't a recall option given the nature and number of concerns. any help at all would be appreciated. While I provide today's date that it occurred, i share the problem has been ongoing for several years. It is on and off with the only consistent indication being when it is hot outside.

I was driving in hot 95 degree weather on on freeway with my A/C on going 65 MPH when my car beeped and a message popped up saying my engine coolant was too hot. My temp guage was at the highest temperature at Hot in the recline. I quickly turned off my A/C and slowed down and got into the farthest right lane. I was about to pull over when the temp guage dropped back to normal operating level which is about the middle. I drove slowly and exited and the car was NOT steaming or smoking. I left it running and checked underneath and NO leaks or drips of any kind. I drove off and upon accelerating the temp rose up not quite to the top of guage but close and then back to normal again. I got to my destination and left 5 hours later and it seemed fine. I checked under hood that night and coolant was below MIN line. I checked again the next morning and it was still at the same level. I have a 1.5 ecoboost engine and notice some white smoke coming out tail pipe some mornings when reversing out of driveway on rear camera. I had to order coolant and meanwhile took it straight to my mechanic who can't find a problem. Where did the coolant go? There are no codes popping up. I get regular oil changes and maintenance. I thought my engine was going to blow up. I've never drove a car and saw the temp guage at the top without some sort of steam or loss of power. My mechanic says he did the pressure test overnight and all seems fine. I safely changed lanes but it was very nerve-racking. My mechanic drove it onto freeway and says guage goes up and down but doesn't know why. I hear a watery sound by my feet sometimes when accelerating from a stop. I thought it might be the turbo engine? It runs a bit rough sometimes too. UNCERTAIN but I dont want to get stuck on the road later or pay for costly repairs when issue could been avoided. Already having to pay 200.00 to diagnose and potentially another 200.00 for further testing. I'm at 71,000 miles now and out of warranty.

Engine overheated on highway. Cracked engine block. Could have been hit by other vehicles. Short Block replaced by Ford dealer which I had to pay for. There were prior engine codes [usually P302] . A local auto repair shop replaced coils but wasn't able to find cause.

My 2015 Ford Fusion is having an issue where the coolant is leaking into the cylinders. I had new spark plugs and coils replaced twice in less than a week because of this issue because they broke. It’s an issue I have read that a lot of Ford fusions have but no recall has been issued. To fix this problem, Ford gave me an estimate of over $8000 and it should be fixed by ford since it’s a revolving issue with certain models.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the head gasket needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Front brake lines on ford fusion 2015 titanium broke. Only have the image of the break lines but the front drivers side break line was bubbled up and the passenger side brake line split while I was driving. My safety was put at risk when my braking system gave out in the middle of an intersection. This was confirmed by a towing company and by a break repair service company the same day. No warning lights came on until after my brake fluid had been fully drained from the car.

Car idles rough and almost stalls causing a safety issue. The problem is a bad block. Coolant leaks into the cylinders causing the car to lose power and smoke out the exhaust. The problem was diagnosed by a local auto repair shop. No check engine lights or warnings came on the dash.

I PURCHASED MY USED 2015 FORD FUSION WITH ON 70,000 MILES ON IT ON A TUESDAY, ON THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD IT JUST NEEDED COOLANT. SO THEY ADDED COOLANT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE......BUT THEN THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO BE QUICKLY DIAGNOSED AND THE CODE SHOWED UP AS P26CE (ENGINE COOLANT PUMP-OVERSPEED/AIR IN SYSTEM), I THEN CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS COOLANT STILL IN THE TANK AND NOTICED THAT THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. SO I THEN TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SHOP THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY SEARCHED FOR THE LEAK. THEY EVENTUALLY FOUND THE LEAK IN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THEY SHOWED ME THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND HOW CORRODED IT WAS, THEY THEN HAD TO ORDER A NEW THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND LET ME KNOW THAT THE NEW PART STILL WOULDN’T BE A PERMANENT FIX, THAT IN 70,000 MORE MILES THE NEW THERMOSTAT HOUSING WILL BECOME DEFECTIVE AGAIN BECAUSE OF CORROSION. FORD SHOULD OFFER A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE CORRODING THERMOSTAT HOUSINGS!!!

I WALKED OUTSIDE ONE MORING TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS A PROLONGED CRANKING TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER, RIGHT AWAY AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER, ALSO A HESITATION THAT WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE. CHECK ENIGNE LIGHT CAME ONE. HAD IT SCANNED SURE ENOUGH MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 3 (P0303). WHITE SMOKE WXITING FROM EXHAUST AT START UP. VERY SLOW TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME IN, FORD DEALER SAYS SEATBELT RETRACTOR PIN BROKEN, ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CORRODED AND ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED! THE HAVE A SERVICE ALERT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. AIRBAG WILL NOT OPERATE UNTIL FIXED! CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF REPAIR! HELP!

CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AND STALL WHILE IDLE BUT IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. STALLS IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. FORD HAS SAID ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON THE TRANSMISSION.

THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL 15S14 HAPPENED TO MY 2015 FORD FUSION ENERGI. FOR SOME REASON MINE IS NOT LISTED EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE DATES, MAKE AND MODEL OF THE RECALL AND THE EXACT PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. I HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR MOTOR REPLACED BECAUSE THE BOLTS CORRODED OFF. CAN WE GET MY VIN ADDED AND REIMBURSED.

2015 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

THE CAR IS BURPING IN THE GAS CAP. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO START AFTER FUELING. AND WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. CODE P1450 $07E8PD & P1450 $07E8. I CLEAR THE CODE AND IN A DAY.OR SO IT COMES BACK ON. THIS STARTED AROUND 78K MILES. I HAVE 79201. ON MY CAR. PLASTING A TIGHT PLASTIC WRAP OVER THE TANK REDUCES BURPING AND RANDOM SHUT OFF.. THIS IA A MAJOR REPAIR FOR A CAR WITH THIS MILEAGE LOCAL NON INTERSTATE MILES. THAT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. THIS SEEMS TO BECA COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE FUSION BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH.

ENGINE HAD MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2 DURING ACCELERATION AT STOP SIGN ON CITY STREET. CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHILE TURNING SINCE 1 CYLINDER WAS NOT OPERATIONAL. CONSEQUENTLY I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR.

FOR NO REASON AT ALL THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT NEEDS SERVICED CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAS NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD VEHICLES MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100000 MILES ON IT. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN IT HAPPENS OR ANY WARNING. COULD MAKE A CAR CRASH A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY.

I FOUND LITTLE LIGHT YELLOW PLASTIC UNDER MY RUG AFTER NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR THE BACK LIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF IT'S A LITTLE BUTTON THAT CONTROL THE BRAKES NOW MY BACK LIGHT WON'T TURN OFFF I HAVE TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT AND MY CAR WON'T GO PAST 45-50 MPH BEFORE IT STARTS STALLING. THE YELLOW PLASTIC I CANNOT FIND ANY WHERE. WHAT KEEPS POPPING UP IS HILL START NOT AVAILABLE AS WELL

TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS ON ITS OWN. OPENS CONSTANTLY THROUGHOUT DAY EVEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD. THINGS HAVE BLOWN OUT OF TRUNK WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON SIDE OF ROAD AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

FUEL SYSTEM LOSES PRESSURE SOMETIMES AND THE CAR CUTS OFF COMPLETELY, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THAT TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTS ERRATICALLY SOMETIMES WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF I NEED TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, IT WONT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO DO SO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING COOLANT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER - JIM BURKE FORD (2001 OAK ST, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93301, (661)328-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,215.

JUST GOT THIS FORD VEHICLE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND HAD NUMEROUS CODES P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0030, C0014, P0047, P0141, AND A FEW OTHERS. I LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES, CHECKED FUSES, PLUGS ETC. THE ONLY THING AT THIS POINT I NOTICED WAS TWO CRACKED SPARK PLUGS, SO I REPLACED ALL OFF THEM. AFTER THAT THE CAR STARTED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. CLOSED THE HOOD TURNED THE CAR TO OFF, THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT DID NOT START. SO I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS AND SEEN THE ANTIFREEZE DISAPPEARED, I HAD PREVIOUSLY FILLED IT. I LOOKED FOR ANY VISIBLE LEAKS, PUDDLES, AND CHECKED FOR WET CARPET AND FOUND NOTHING. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER LARGE JUG OF ANTIFREEZE PUT IT IN AND WATCHED IT ALL DISAPPEAR BEFORE MY EYES. I COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT, BUT I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND STILL CONTINUED TO GET MASSIVE ERROR CODES, WHITE SMOKE, ROUGH SOUND, ETC. THEN SEARCHED MORE AND FOUND IT SOUNDS LIKE BLOWN HEAD GASKET, I CHECKED AND THE OIL HAD A MILKY TINT. THIS I THEN FOUND WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, SO I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM FORD ON MARCH 20, 2021 AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHECK IF MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAD THE PARTS TO GET MY CAR IN OR IF THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET A CALL BACK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING, I DID USE LEAK FIX IT SEEMED TO STOP THE LEAK AND CLEAR THE CODES BUT MY DASH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING SO I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. THE RECALL NUMBER I FOUND WAS NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10174400, MY CAR IS A 2015 FORD FUSION ECOBOOST 1.5L, VIN NUMBER# [XXX], AND MY LOCAL FORD IS IN HEATH, OHIO 43056 AT MATHEWS FORD. I AM GETTING THE IMPRESSION THIS IS GOING TO BE AT MY COST AFTER CONTACTING FORD AGAIN, NOW TELLING ME THAT IT WILL NEED DIAGNOSED AT FORD, AND MAY BE AT MY COST. WHY DOESN'T THE RECALL LIST UNDER MY VIN? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WARRANTY WITH THE VEHICLE WAS FOR 60,000 MILES, AT 62,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE CYLINDER BLOCK AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FORD DENIED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR.

FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF BRAKES (THURS, MAR 18, 2021). SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED - FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 15-18 MONTHS AGO - ALSO REPORTED. BOTH TIMES VEHICLE TAKEN TO MAC HAIK FORD DEALERSHIP IN HOUSTON, TX FOR SERVICE. (BOTH TIMES FAILED WHILE IN FAST FOOD WAITING LINE).

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, HONING COMING FROM REAR DRIVER SIDE, AFTER FILLING WITH GAS THE ENGINE FIRES UP PROPERLY BUT THEN SPUTTERS OUT, CODES ARE READING EVAPORATOR PURGE SYSTEM FAILURE

WHEN STEERING THE CAR IN A TURN, SUCH AS ON AND OFF RAMPS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK IN THE DIRECTION OF STEERING AND THE (TCS) TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A RECALLED STEERING BOLT REPLACED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THREE FORD DEALERSHIPS, AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP RECENTLY ON 2-26-2121 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING BALL JOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $610.00 WHICH I FOUND ABSURD.

2015 FORD FUSION WITH 85,000 MILES HAD STEERING GEAR FAIL. VEHICLE ALREADY HAD RECALL FOR CORROSION ON STEERING BOX BOLTS. STEERING GEARS ARE BUILT FOR 10/12/15 YEARS AND THIS FAILED IN UNDER 6 YEARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN AND THE VEHICLE DRIVES AS IF IT DOESN'T HAVE POWER STEERING. THE TSC OFF AND TSC INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE LIT UP ON THE DASH.

WELL TO START OF I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION THAT I BOUGHT IN 2014 AS A 2015 MODEL YEAR PRETTY MUCH IT'S BEEN A GOOD CAR SO FAR. IT HAS BEEN IN A COUPLE OF RECALLS SO FAR NOT SO BIG, BUT AT SAME TIME THEY HAVE TO BE TAKING CARE OF BY MY DEALER WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT IS LOOSING COOLANT FROM THE RESERVOIR WHEN IS ON PARK OVERNIGHT. I ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT COOLANT EVERY MORNING TO GET IT GOING OTHERWISE A WARNING LIGHT COMES OFF TO WARN ME ABOUT THE COOLANT BEING LOW. IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK NOW AND IS KINDA TIRING GOING TO THE SAME STEP EVERY MORNING. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND AFTER SEARCHING FOR AWHILE IT CAME UP THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I READ AN ARTICLE STATING THAT SOME ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE AND SOME OF EM EXPERIENCING DIFFERENT KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ECOBOOST ENGINES. HONESTLY I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING. I'M WONDERING IF FORD IS GOING TO RECALL ALL THE ECOBOOST ENGINES THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. MINE IS ALREADY GOING THROUGH THE SAME SYMPTOMS LIKE THE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. HOPEFULLY THE NHSTA STEPS UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT US BUYERS WITH A PROBLEMATIC VEHICLE THAT PEOPLE ARE HOPING TO KEEP IT FOR A LONGTIME TIME LIKE MY SELF. PRETTY MUCH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. HONESTLY I DON'T WANT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET IF MY VEHICLE STARTS TO MESSING UP AND TO BE HONEST I'M BEARLY SURVIVING OUT HERE AND WITH THIS PANDEMIC GOING ON IT'S VERY HARD TO COME UP WITH MONEY TO PAY YOUR BILLS AND NOW WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IT'LL BE HARDER IF IT MESSES UP ON ME. IT'LL BE HARD TO COME UP WITH $7 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE IN WHICH YOU RELY ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS THROUGH OUT THIS WEBSITE.

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD SCREEN

POWER STEERING MAKES LOUD THUNKING SOUNDS WHENEVER I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR STOPPED. IT'S COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK MECHANISM ITSELF.

THE AFFECTED VEHICLE IS A 2015 FORD FUSION ENERGI WITH 80,350 MILES. VIN: 3FA6P0SU1FR I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM KELLER FORD IN HANFORD CALIFORNIA ON 11JAN2021, AT 79,902 MILES. ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, SYMPTOMS STARTED WITH A HIGH PITCH NOISE, FOLLOWED BY, A BURNING SMELL, MOTOR OVER TEMP WARNING, AND FINALLY A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND A "PULL OVER SAFELY" WARNING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO BE WORKED ON, WHERE THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY TO BE THE AFFECTED ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED SOMETIME LAST YEAR PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP, WHICH WAS UNDISCLOSED TO ME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, SO THIS IS NOW THE SECCOND TIME THIS CAR HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ECVT ASSEMBLY. (PART NUMBER HM5Z-7000-ARM). THE ORIGINAL REPAIR WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, BUT THIS TIME, FORD IS LOOKING AT HAVING THE DEALERSHIP REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, ASIDE FOR TWO TSBS. 20-2219 AND 19-2391. THE HYBRID ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHICH INCLUDES THE ECVT, IS WARRANTED BY FORD UP TO 8 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION MY ENGINE HAS STOPED WORKING.I ONLY HAVE 145000 MILES.I WAS BEEN ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES.IF I HAD KNOWN I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT

COOLANT LEAK INTO ENGINE FOR 2015 FORD FUSION SE. CAR OVERHEATED ON THE HIGHWAY IN 2020. I TOOK IT TO FORD WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE ENGINE WASN'T THE ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS THE COOLANT. THEY BLED IT & PUT NEW. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. GOT IT FIXED 3 TIMES! TO FIND OUT IT IS THE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER/ENGINE. MY COOLANT IS EMPTY EVERY 20MILES! MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BUT I ORIGINALLY ASKED FORD WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED !

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY CONTROL PANEL STARTED THROWING AN ALARM OF ENGINE TEMP HIGH. IT WOULD GO OFF THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. ABOUT 15-30 MINS HEADING HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CUT POWER TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LIFE OF THIS CAR. FIRST TIME FORD REPLACED THE ENGINE. THIS TIME THEY SAY THAT ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WANT ME TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THE LIFE OF THIS NEW ENGINE IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 12000 MILES ON IT. COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED IF IT HASN'T ALREADY!

IN 2019 I HAD AN OVER TEMP WARNING POP UP. AFTER TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOUND IT TO BE A COOLANT LEAK IN CYLINDER 2. SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FORD REPLACED THE ENGINE. LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER WITH THE NEW ENGINE THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO REPLACE. THIS HAS NOT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME, BUT THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 65-70MPH WHEN THE POWER WAS SHUT DOWN TO MY ENGINE AND COULD HAVE KILLED ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER.

I PURCHASE A 2015 FORD FUSION SE WITH 119,00 MILES GREAT CONDITION CAR... THE CAR WILL MOT START... I'VE TOWED THE CAR TO MECHANIC SHOPS WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. IN DISBELIEF I TOLD THE CAR TO ELDERLY FORD DEALERSHIP IN TROY, MI WHERE ARE THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE BECAUSE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND THE REPAIRS WILL COST MEV$7500 THEY'VE DONE TWO DIAGNOSTIC TEST WERE THEY FIND FAULT IN FORD! I NEED TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER

MY VEHICLE'S BATTERY DRAINED OUT BECAUSE WE HADN'T BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE MUCH DUE TO COVID STAY-HOME ORDERS IN MICHIGAN AND STAYING AT HOME OVER THE HOLIDAYS. WE ROLLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND JUMP STARTED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY, THEN LET IT RUN FOR AN HOUR TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY RATHER THAN DRIVING IT BECAUSE OUR POWER STEERING AND ADVANCE TRAC WERE SHOWING FAULT MESSAGES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGES DIDN'T GO AWAY AFTER WE TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. WE EVEN LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND TRIED THE NEXT MORNING. THE MESSAGES ARE AS FOLLOWS: LOW BATTERY FEATURES TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC THERE ARE ALSO TWO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING A CAR SKIDDING, ONE WITH THE TEXT "OFF" UNDER IT. I BELIEVE THESE ARE THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR STEERING PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEMS HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CAR-RECALLS-DEFECTS/FORD-RECALLS-SEDANS-AND-SUVS-STEERING-PROBLEM/ HTTP://WWW.FORDPROBLEMS.COM/EPAS/ I CONTACTED FORD TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE. THERE DON'T SEEM TO BE ANY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE'S VIN. THEY SUGGESTED I TRY TURNING IT OFF AND TURNING IT ON AGAIN (A "KEY CYCLE") TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET, WHICH I HAVE DONE A FEW TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY THEN SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING SO DIFFICULT TO TURN, SO WILL NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED. I ALSO I FEAR I COULD BE EXPENSIVE TO GET THIS FIXED IF FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SERVICE ISSUE. I THOUGHT I SHOULD DOCUMENT THIS IN CASE OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THIS IS IN FACT A SYSTEMATIC ISSUE, NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-45 WHEN SHE ENCOUNTERED SOME SNOW. THE STEERING ASSIST LIGHT, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. POWER WAS LOST TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD FOR HERE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE FAULT MAYBE A WHEEL SENSOR OR SOME OTHER COMPONENT CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. I REALLY DON'T KNOW. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NO POLICE WAS INVOLVE.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE AS THE CAR'S BLUETOOTH WOULDN'T PAIR TO MY CELL PHONE. THE ISSUE BEGAN ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE APIM MODULE NEEDS REPLACING. THE MODULE IS IMPORTANT FOR HANDS FREE COMMUNICATION WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN SEP OF 2019 DUE TO COOLANT INTRUSION INTO ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. RICART FORD REPLACED IT DUE TO IT BEING COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW 14 MONTHS I GET MY FUSION BACK FROM AN OIL CHANGE TO FIND MY COOLANT COMPLETELY EMPTY. TOOK MY CAR BACK INTO FORD AND WAS TOLD I HAVE COOLANT INTRUSION AGAIN AND THAT MY ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED A SECOND TIME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY DASH INFORMED ME THAT MY POWER STEERING MODULE FAILED, AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO MISDIAGNOSED IT AS A BATTERY ISSUE. AFTER GETTING A NEW BATTERY THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN.

I CHECKED AFTER GETTING THE MESSAGE AND COOLANT TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE LEAK WHERE I HAD PARKED. READING ON TO POSSIBLE PROBLEMS ONLINE, I READ THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS AND KNOWN ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED ON SCHEDULE AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL. 12-1-2020

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN=FREE&THIS TIME=REPLACED CYLS.1,3&4 IGNITION/COILS= $272.85 THIS TIME MILEAGE IN & OUT WAS 53,473. MY SON MILEAGE IN FOR MY CAR AT GRAYCO FORD OF DELRAY BEACH WAS 54,824 ON 10/24/19. MOTOR WAS UNDER WARRANTY UP UNTIL 60,000 MILES. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T OF LOOKED AT THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THE MOTOR OF MY CAR FOR MY SON WHO WAS AWAY AT COLLEGE IN FLORIDA FOR 3YRS. I BOUGHT THAT CAR IN ORDER FOR HIM TO GO TO FLORIDA AND WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL LYNN UNIVERSITY TO GET HIS MASTERS DEGREE AT 23 YEARS OLD. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A SAFE VEHICLE FOR HIS TRAVELS.

I CALLED FORD&IT'S 2000 MILES OUT WARRANTY. THEY SAID CAN'T/WON'T HELP W/ THIS WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM FOR 2013-2019 FUSIONS! I TALKD TO THE GRAYCO FORD OF DELRAY, VERY RUDE (DAVID ALIVA) & BOSS VERY RUDE AS WELL. I GOT A RUDE EMAIL,THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME! EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT WAS UNDER 60,000 MILES! CAR SITTING AT MENTOR CLASSIC(SINCE 08/20)THEY TELL ME IT IS A FIRE HAZARD TO DRIVE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

WHEN GETTING READY TO PARK THE CAR THE CAR SAYS IT'S IT NUETRAL BUT IT'S ACTUALLY I BELIEVE IN PARK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND IT WAS MOVING BACKWARDS. I PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON THE CAR SO IT IS STATIONARY.

THE RPMS REV AND SHIFTING HESITATES. WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WENT TO DRIVE OFF FROM LIGHT AND IT STALLED IN INTERSECTION AS IT WAS STUCK IN GEAR AND FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR. IT SLOW, HARD SHIFTS AT USUAL TIMES. THE STALLING HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. I DO NOT GO FAR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT FROM IT STALLING IN GEAR! I'VE PUT SO MUCH MONEY ON TRANNY WORK, THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING STRANDED.

NA

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CAR OVERHEATS AND HAVE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR SHUTDOWN. A COOLANT PROBLEM NOT A BIG DEAL. TAKE IT IN AND HAVE A CODE SAYING IT IS MISFIRE #2 #3. REPLACE PLUGS DO A TUNE UP AND ASK ABOUT THE OVER HEATING PROBLEM. SAID WE WERE LOW ON ANTIFREEZE. STRANGE CAUSE WE HAD JUST TOPPED ALL FLUIDS WHEN WE CHANGED OIL. OKAY PICK IT UP RUNS GREAT FOR ONE DAY, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. TAKE IT BACK AND GET IT CHECKED MISFIRE AGAIN. LEAVE CAR WITH MECHANIC AND HE GOES THRU IT. TEST DRIVING AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. GETS IT BACK TO THE SHOP, STARTS LOOKING AROUND AND NOTICES THE COOLANT WHICH HE JUST FILLED IS DRY. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THE DIAGNOSE IS THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS 80000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM OF THIS SORT GOING ON AT ALL. WE TOOK IT IN TO FORD AND WAS TOLD THEY CAN HELP US . THIS IS THERE PRODUCT CORRECT?

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR POWER STEERING WAS LOST WHILE TURNING. I ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL MY STEERING WHEEL FAST ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN

ENGINE WENT OUT AT 5 YEARS AND 90000 MILES. ONE OF NUMEROUS 1.5 L FORD ENGINES IN THE SHOP AT THAT TIME.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WAS HIT HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. DAMAGE TO MY GRILL, HOOD, BUMPER, SIDE PANELS AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. THE IMPACT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED MY AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. IT WAS A HARD ENOUGH IMPACT THAT IT ACTUALLY MOVED MY CAR. AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE RPM WAS REDLINED.

CAR IS AROUND 80,000 MILES AND HAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS. PREVIOUSLY I HAD SOME MISFIRE CODES COMING THROUGH AND HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROUGH IDLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT PERIODICALLY WOULD COME BACK ON. A FEW DAYS AGO THE CAR INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I REFILLED THE COOLANT TO THE CORRECT LEVEL AND CHECKED BACK THE NEXT DAY. THE COOLANT WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE AGAIN SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS WHEN THEY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT THE NEED FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT

I SENDING THIS MASSAGE BECAUSE I HAVE 2015 FORD FUSION SE. MY ISSUE IS WHEN I PUT MY CAR ON DRIVE MODE EVERY TIME I GO OUT IN TO TOWN. WHEN I'M ABOUT TO MAKE A STOP AND WHEN I TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO JUMP BACK AND FOR ALMOST LIKE IS TRYING TO GET A GOOD SHIFT OR LIKE IS TRYING TO LOOK FOR FISRT GEAR. I DON'T KNOW IF FORD IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION, BUT ITS GETTING KINDA ANNOYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DOING THAT OR IF IS FAILING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD IT BE MAYBE IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE OR MAYBE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO GO OUT. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE READ THIS OR MAYBE THROUGH THIS WEBSITE THE COMPLAINT GETS TO FORD AND DUE SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR AT LEAST FIX THE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME, BUT IF WE ALL COME TOGETHER MAYBE FORD COULD DO A RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM ON THIS TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE MINE GOES OUT AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

WE HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL DEFECT IN THE ENGINE IN THIS CAR TWO TIMES. COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING IT TO FAIL THE FIRST TIME AND NOW TRIGGERING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT THE DEALERSHIP STATES WILL REQUIRE THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN MEANING IT WILL BE THE THIRD ENGINE IN A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 55000 MILES. THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED IN APRIL 2019. THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON A SUBURBAN PARKWAY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC. IT NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE HAD BURNED OFF ALL THE COOLANT AND WHEN TESTED THE DEALERSHIP STATED COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE 41,000 MILES ON THE CAR SO THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. SINCE THEN WE HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR 14,000 MILES IN 18 MONTHS ON THE NEW ENGINE THAT WAS REPLACED. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2020 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK IT TO A AUTO PARTS STORE TO DOWNLOAD THE CODE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT WAS P0300, AN ENGINE MISFIRE. WE TOOK TO A LOCAL SHOP TO CHECK IT OUT. HE DIAGNOSED THE SAME ISSUE. HE FOUND COOLANT IN CYLINDER 1 AND IT WAS 1/2 GALLON SHORT OF COOLANT. HE STATED THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE AND ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I SHARED IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND HE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT BACK TO DEALER THAT DID WORK. I DROVE IT TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SAME ISSUE WITH COOLANT IN THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME, IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO WE WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW ENGINE FOR $5K. I HAVE REQUESTED FORD STAND BEHIND THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE WITH 14,000 MILES ON IT ONLY TO BE TOLD NO, THE NEW ENGINE ISN'T COVERED. THE CAR HAS 55,500 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY.

2015 FORD FUSION SE. THE PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BULB WAS OUT AROUND 1 NOVEMBER, 2019. THE FORD DEALER REPLACED IT ON 11/14/2019 AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE TO TAKE THE FRONT BUMPER OFF TO DO THE JOB ($210 LABOR PLUS $35 FOR THE LIGHT AND $29 FOR ADD'L SHOP SUPPLIES.). HE INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BULB WOULD PROBABLY BURN OUT SOON. I DENIED THE CHANGE; I THOUGHT IT WAS A RIPOFF. TURNS OUT HE WAS RIGHT BUT WHY DOES THE LIGHT BURN OUT AT ALL. THE PASSENGER SIDE BULB WAS OUT LESS THAN 5 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. SEEMS THEY COULD DESIGN A LIGHT THAT WOULD LAST FOREVER, NO? I REALIZE THESE ARE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND THEY ARE ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS ON IF YOU USE THE RIGHT SETTING, BUT IT SEEMS THEY DESIGNED IN OBSOLESCENCE,

WE HAD THEM TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE TO CONFIRM IT WAS NOT A HEAD GASKET. RESULTS NEGATIVE. SO, HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED FOR $6800.00

FUSE CONTINUES TO POP. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A GROCERY STORE AND AFTER THE SHOPPING THE VEHICLE STARTED UP BRIEFLY THEN DIED. WE CHANGED THE FUSE AT THE PARKING LOT BUT IT POPPED THE FUSE AGAIN. WE ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED. THE MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE OR WIRING TO THE FUEL PUMP. WE ARE ON MILITARY ORDERS IN ITALY AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REACH FORD TO AUTHORIZE REPAIR SINCE WE DO HAVE A VALID EXTENDED WARRANTY. ITALIAN FORD DEALERS WILL NOT WORK ON AMERICAN SPEC CARS. WE HAVE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO HAS ACCESS TO FORD BUT NEEDS THE AUTHORIZATION CODE IN ORDER TO START REPAIRS AND RECALLS. WE ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND WITH FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO HELP. WE CANNOT SHIP THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE STATES WITH ACTIVE RECALLS ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN CURRENTLY. WE ARE UPSET ON HOW FORD SUPPORTS ITS MILITARY!

I DROVE TO WORK NO PROBLEMS AND PARKED MY 2015 FUSION 2.0 ECOBOOST. WHEN I LEFT WORK I STARTED THE CAR AND A BILLOW OF WHITE SMOKE ROLLED OUT FROM THE EXHAUST WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT. IT QUICKLY DISSIPATED SO I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD A FEW MILES. I THEN GOT AN OVERHEATING WARNING ON THE DASH FOLLOWED BY A P1299 CODE. WHEN I PARKED THE CAR IT WAS IDLING ROUGH SO I TURNED IT OFF. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND NOTICED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS LOW SO I FILLED IT UP AND STARTED THE CAR, IT IDLED JUST FINE, AT FIRST, WITH LITTLE SMOKE THEN AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT STARTED IDLING REALLY ROUGH. IT SUCKED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR DRY SO I FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND WENT INSIDE. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT HALF AN HOUR LATER THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY YET AGAIN. I THEN NOTICED A HUGE PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR WITH IT DRIPPING FROM THE MUFFLER IN THE MIDDLE. I DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE 68K MILES.

LAST YEAR I TOOK MY FUSION IN FOR A COUPLE OF RECALLS AT GARY SMITH FORD. ONE OF THE TWO RECALLS REGARDED MY FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT. IT WOULDN'T EXTEND OUT PROPERLY WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE EXTRA MEASURES. I HAD A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING THIS ERROR AND IT WAS APPARENTLY NOTED THAT THE BELT WAS FIXED, BUT IT IS STILL NOT.

ENGINE RAN ROUGH ON START UP, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK CAR TO FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO #3 CYLINDER AND ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACED, MILEAGE ON CAR IS 64,441. IT LOOKS LIKE FORD HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THIS 1.5 ENGINE AS MY PROBLEM IS NOT A ISOLATED PROBLEM.

IN AUG 2020 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2015 FORD FUSION AFTER IT STARTED ROUGH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THEY SAID THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS SHOULD BE REPLACED (CHECK ENGINE CODE WAS P0303, CYLINDER MISFIRE). A MONTH LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MGR SAID 'OH, THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE FUSION ECOBOOST ENGINES. COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE CYLINDERS AND DAMAGES THEM. HE SAID THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE BLOCK HAS SCORE GROOVES BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE LEAK AND CORROSION TO START. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THE LONG BLOCK AND HEAD GASKET WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE STARTING COST WOULD $5,000+. BUT LIKELY CLOSER TO $7000. FURTHER HE SAID FORD WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT NOT RECALLING OR COVERING THE REPLACEMENT COST. HE SAID HE HAD 8 OTHER VEHICLES ON THE LOT NEEDING THE SAME REPAIR AND EVEN IF THEY HAD THE PARTS IN STOCK, WHICH THEY DON'T AND IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME TO GET THEM, IF WOULD BE 6 WEEKS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE THE ENTIRE ENGINE WHICH FORD HAS CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND REMOVED THE SCORED GROOVES. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY FUSION WITH THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CARE DONE THERE. THIS ENGINE ISSUE WAS THERE AT THE TIME IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND WAS A TIME BOMB. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INCUR THE EXPENSE OR FINANCIAL LOSS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. IF LEFT UNREPAIRED THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY CEASE AND DEPENDING ON WHERE THAT OCCURS COULD BE DANGEROUS TO ME AND SURROUNDING DRIVERS. I HAVE PARKED MY VEHICLE FOR NOW UNTIL THE SERVICE MANAGER LETS ME KNOW WHAT FORD WILL DO, IF ANYTHING. HE SAID THEY MIGHT GIVE ME SOME HELP BUT I WOULD HAVE TO COVER MOST OF THE EXPENSE!!! I

AFTER 5 YEARS, HEAD GASKET LEAK INTO CYLINDER. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THROUGH SEVERAL TSB'S ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE. FORD HAS PUT OUT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM TO CHANGE COMPUTER SETTING TO PREVENT THIS DAMAGE FROM OCCURRING. THIS COVERS 2014-2017 FUSION MODELS WITH 1.5L ENGINES, HOWEVER THEY LEFT OUT SOME VIN NUMBERS THAT THE DIDN'T THINK WOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE. MINE HAS THE EXACT ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR TSB'S AND PROGRAM. THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY EVERYONE WHICH CAUSED THE DAMAGED HEAD GASKET. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING TO WARRANTY THEIR DEFECT AND THE DAMAGE DONE FROM THAT DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHCILE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER COLONIAL FORD LOCATED AT 126 FEDERAL RD #126, DANBURY, CT 06811, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT ENGINE CYLINDER #2 WAS DEFECTIVE, AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE (LESS THAN 5 MPH) I HEARD A CLANK/POP SOUND. WHEN I THEN APPLIED MY BRAKES THEY SUNK TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY STOPPED THE CAR. I HAD NO BRAKES. BRAKE FLUID THEN STARTED TO PUDDLE UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE WHEEL AND ON INSPECTION I NOTICED THE BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE BRAKE LINE. I HAVE BEEN CURRENT WITH ALL MY CAR MAINTENANCE AND THERE WAS NEVER A MENTION OF ANY ISSUE WITH THE BREAK LINES. I HAD THIS CAR TOWED AND UPON INSPECTION BY A MECHANIC IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO BULGING AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE FRONT BRAKE LINES GOING FROM THE CALIPER TO THE MAIN BRAKE LINE FITTING, ARE THE PARTS THAT WERE BAD. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES AND NOTES FROM THE MECHANIC. I HAVE A LINK I CAN SHARE AS WELL AS AN INVOICE IF NEEDED. I DID NOT SHARE CURRENTLY SINCE IT STATES NOT TO PUT PERSONAL INFORMATION ON HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND WEAK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE EXISTED AND THAT THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED FOUR TIMES. THE TIRE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO BRING IN A NEW SET OF LUG NUTS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SET WHEN THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. FELIX SABATES FORD (7601 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273, (704) 552-2760) STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS HAD A CAP THAT WAS WELDED ON THE TOP LUG NUTS THEMSELVES THAT WAS SWOLLEN CAUSING THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THE DIRECT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM (GDI). THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP IS GROUND INTO THE TOP OF THE CAMSHAFT CAM AND CAUSING FUEL RAIL FAILURE, ENGINE CODES P0087 & P219A. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPAIRED THIS ONCE UNDER WARRANTY. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR AGAIN, SINCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED WHILE WE WERE IN STATE LOCKDOWN ORDER. THIS GDI DIRECT FUEL INJECTION VS. MULTI-PORT INJECTION WAS RUSHED TO MARKET TO MEET THE NEW FUEL ECONOMY MANDATES SET BY CONGRESS AND IT HAS FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE 3 TIMES NOW, CAUSING SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. FMC WONT REPAIR AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW OF THIS SYSTEMIC ISSUE. I AM ATTACHING A COPY OF THE DIAGNOSTICS FROM FORD WITH THE EXTENSIVE REPAIR/PARTS LIST. I SEE ON ALMOST EVERY FORD COMPLAINT WEBSITE THE ISSUES WITH THE EARLY GDI FUEL SYSTEMS ON THEIR ECO BOOST MODELS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME FOR NEEDED REPAIRS. FMC CASE# CAS27469187

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION SE ECOBOOST CURRENTLY AROUND 76000 MILES. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE SCAN HAD REPORTED A CYLINDER MISFIRE DUE FOR A SPARK PLUG CHANGE ALONG WITH A COIL CHANGE. MADE THE REPLACEMENTS DAY AFTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CORRECTED. A WEEK AGO IT OVERHEATED, COOLANT HAD DISAPPEARED, EVEN AFTER REFILLING THE COOLANT AT MAX THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T REGISTER THE COOLANT. NO MOVEMENT, NOT DRIVABLE. GOT IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. WAITED FOR ALMOST A WEEK FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR, COME TO FIND OUT MY CAR IS IN NEED OF A NEW ENGINE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE COOLANT WAS BEING 'EATEN BY THE ENGINE' AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIND OUT WHERE IN THE ENGINE WAS THE LEAK. 'EXCESSIVE MOISTURE COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO COMBUST IF DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION'. 'THE ENGINE WAS ABSORBING THE MOISTURE'. WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW COULD THIS BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD FUSION ECOBOOST MODELS AND NOT BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL. IF CAR WAS KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE, AND NEVER BROUGHT UP WHEN GETTING SERVICED. THERE'S NO WEAR AND TEAR DAMAGE IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. A CAR ENGINE SHOULD NOT LAST 5 YEARS FROM BEING BRAND NEW TO BASICALLY TOTALED CAR.. FORD SHOULD PROVIDE A RECALL . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVEN AFTER CONTACTING FORD THEY MENTIONED NO COVERAGE AFTER 5 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS SISTER WHO OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SISTER WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NEW ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WENT TO HAAG FORD SALES INC (405 E EADS PKWY, GREENDALE, IN 47025) AND WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,637.

THE BACK DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IS STUCK AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THE RETRACTOR KEEPS LOCKING UP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN A COLLISION. THE BREAKS WERE NOT EVER HIT HARD. IT WORKED FINE THE DAY BEFORE. THE NEXT MORNING, MY CHILD TRIED TO STRAP HERSELF UP AND IT WOULD NOT COME OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVE WAY. THE OTHER SEATBELTS WORK FINE.

MY 2015 FORD FUSION OVERHEATED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF TURNING IT ON AND DRIVING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE COOLANT HAD COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. EVEN AFTER REFILLING THE COOLANT, NO CHANGE IN THERMOSTAT AND STILL NOT DRIVABLE. UPON GETTING IT TOWED AND GETTING IT DELIVERED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TOWN. IT TOOK 6 DAYS FOR THE TEAM TO DIAGNOSE IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE ENGINE ITSELF WAS EATING AWAY THE COOLANT AND WAS CONTAINING WATER/MOISTURE PRESSURE WITHIN THE ENGINE. NOT DRIVABLE, AND IN NEED OF A NEW ENGINE.

CAR STARTED LEAKING COOLANT IN MAY, BUT NO VISIBLE SIGN OF LEAKING. CAR NEVER OVERHEATED AND KEPT COOLANT AT APPROPRIATE LEVEL. CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY MISFIRE ON STARTUP AND WOULD HAVE CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE. ONE DAY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AND LEFT HIGHWAY. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND NEEDED A NEW ENGINE.

RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK DOES NOT REMAIN LOCKED, EVEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. YOU ARE ABLE TO UNLOCK AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AT 30 MPH OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. FIRST NOTICED IN MARCH 2020, BUT ONGOING. MY GRANDSON SITS IN THE REAR IN HIS CAR SEAT AND HAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HE CAN OPEN THE DOOR, WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED OVERHEAT AND POWER REDUCED WARNING MESSAGES WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER RACEWAY FORD LOCATED AT 5900 SYCAMORE CANYON BLVD, RIVERSIDE, CA 92507, (800) 286-9861, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO TBS 20-2100. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

WHEN I CRANK MY CAR IT STARTS SHAKING REALLY BAD AND MISSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER AND THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S GONNA TO STOP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I'M A SINGLE PARENT AND ON A FIXED INCOME THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE IS HALF OF WHAT I OWE.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH SUDDEN IMMEDIATE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED (LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION). VEHICLE NOT RESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION REQUEST UNTIL BELOW 45 MPH AND BEHAVES ERRATICALLY (JUST STOPS RESPONDING AND CAR SLOWS). NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CAR OTHERWISE RUNS NORMALLY. ACCOMPANYING BEHAVIORS: BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED (STUCK ON), EVEN WHEN NOT BRAKING AND ALSO WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED. INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR IS STOPPED, MESSAGE "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" IS SHOWN. TOOK CAR INTO FORD DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND "FOUND BRAKE SWITCH ENGAGEMENT BUSHING MISSING FROM BRAKE PEDAL" AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE "BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY" AT A COST OF $1,062.35. FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT BEHAVIORS AND NOTING THAT THE OEM "BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD" HAD BROKEN INTO PIECES. I ALSO REMEMBERED VACUUMING UP SOME PLASTIC PIECES FROM THE DRIVER FRONT FLOOR AREA NOT REALIZING WHERE THEY HAD COME FROM. THE "BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD" ITSELF WHICH WOULD COST LESS THAN $5.00 IS NOT OFFERED BY FORD, SO PEOPLE ARE FINDING ALTERNATIVES WHICH MAY BE UNSAFE AND INCLUDE: "BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD" NOT DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS VEHICLE, ZIP TIES, AND EVEN MAGNETS! OTHER FORD MODELS ARE AFFECTED AS WELL. SOME EXAMPLE FORUM LINKS BELOW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/MUSTANG/2015/BRAKES/SERVICE_BRAKES.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.MUSTANG6G.COM/FORUMS/THREADS/BRAKE-LIGHT-SWITCH-NEAR-PEDAL-FAILURE.122100/

FORD FUSION WITH 75000 MILES. REPAIR SHOP JUST DIAGNOSED MY ENGINE ISSUE AS A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FUSIONS OF THIS AGE. REPAIR COST IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE $8000.

I WAS IN THE DRIVE THRU OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT HAD NO PRESSURE BEHIND IT, AND I WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. MY CAR THEN SHOWED A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING ON THE DASH. SO I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I HAD A FAMILY MEMBER COME PICK ME UP AND DRIVE ME HOME. I LATER CAME BACK WITH A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID SO THAT I COULD TRY AND FIND THE LEAK. I DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT BRAKE LINE HAS BEEN BLOWN OPEN, AND WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AT A SUBSTANTIAL RATE. MY CAR IS STILL SITTING IN THIS PARKING LOT , AND I AM CURRENTLY MAKING PLANS TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPX 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET, UPON STARTING TO STOP, I HEAR A LOUD NOISE AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER MY CAR. THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR TO THE RACK AND PINION BROKE AND LEFT ME WITH NO STEERING CAPABILITIES. FORD ISSUED A RECALL (15S14) FOR THIS BOLT CORROSION PROBLEM. IT WAS REPLACED IN 2016, HOWEVER THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND UPON INSPECTING BOLT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS IN FACT CORRODED AND CRACKED 3/4 OF THE WAY BEFORE THE FINAL BREAK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITHIN THE FUSION LINE OF CARS, THE RECOMMENDED "FIX" ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN IS NOT ADEQUATE TO MITIGATE THIS PROBLEM FROM FURTHER HAPPENING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES TO DRIVERS WHO ASSUME THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN "FIXED" BECAUSE THEY'VE TAKEN THEIR CAR IN FOR RECALL MEASURES. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE OR LOSS OF LIFE IF NOT REMEDIED BY FORD IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH THEN COMING TO COMPLETED STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND FILED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000.

IN JUNE 2020, WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING FOR STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS, BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO GET A LITTLE MUSHY, THEN THE NEXT TIME I STEPPED ON BRAKE I HEARD/FELT A "POP" AND BRAKES WERE FAILING AND BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OFF AND A MECHANIC SAW THAT THE LEFT BRAKE LINE WAS BROKEN, UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. TODAY AUG 19, 2020, AS I WAS STEPPING ON BRAKE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, I HEARD THAT SAME "POP", MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN VERY FAST. I INSPECTED CAR AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED ALL OVER RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL AND BRAKE LINE WAS BROKEN, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND ALL OVER CITY STREETS AND UP AND DOWN HILLS. I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES FOR BOTH OCCURRENCES IN JUNE AND AUG, BUT AM UNABLE TO SCAN AND ATTACH AT THIS TIME.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I WENT TO 2 DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. I REPLACED THE COILS AND PLUGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO I TOOK IT TO FORD. THERE THEY TOLD ME COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO MY CYLINDERS.

MY DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO HELP BUT FORD MOTOR CO.REFUSES TO STEP UP AND FIX A ON GOING PROBLEM .DRIVEING THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER AND START TO MISS AND START JERKING AND STARTS TO SHUT DOWN.

BOUGHT MY FORD FUSION USED FROM A DEALERSHIP AT END OF DECEMBER WITH 78K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING SO I TOOK THE CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND KEPT MISFIRING AND MY COOLANT KEPT BECOMING LOW ONLY AFTER A FEW DAYS.

MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AGREED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THIS IS AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT FORD IS AWARE OF FOR THIS MODEL PER THE TSB BULLETIN FORD PUT OUT. FORD WON'T FIX THEIR ISSUE AND IM HERE GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. MY CAR IS STILL NOW IN THE SHOP AS IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT FORD ALREADY KNEW WAS MESSED UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS MODEL.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY DOOR FLEW OPEN AND WILL NOT LATCH. I AM NOW UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR.

BOUGHT MY FORD FUSION1.5L USED FROM A PRIVATE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2019 AT 88K MILES. FEW MONTHS LATER NOTICE SLIGHT DROP IN COOLANT RESERVOIR. BY MARCH 2020, ENGINE STARTED SHAKING ONE DAY WHICH FOLLOWED BY ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, MISFIRING CODE FOR CYLINDER 2 AND 3 WERE PULLED USING OBD SCAN TOOL. SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED, AND PROBLEMS WENT AWAY UNTIL MAY 2020, NOTICED A FASTER RATE OF COOLANT LOSS, THEN ENGINE VIBRATES AND IDLING ROUGH. CODE FOR MISFIRING IN CYLINDER NUMBER 3. AFTER SOME RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET, SEEMS LIKE IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGES TO THE ENGINE. PLEASE HELP!

HEARD A POP WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I WAS STOPPED. BROKE THE BRAKE LINE. BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT EVERYWHERE AND EVENTUALLY LOST ALL USE OF THE BRAKES. THE SHOP SAID THAT THAT THE RUBBER HOSE ON BOTH SIDES WERE SWOLLEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS WEAK AND BROKE.

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. WAS TOLD THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO MY 4TH CYLINDER. ALSO INFORMED THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE. PER THEIR 2014 FORD FUSION RECALL: "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A LACK OF COOLANT CIRCULATION COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, RESULTING IN A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD," FORD REPORTED. "A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD CAN RESULT IN A PRESSURIZED OIL LEAK. OIL THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A HOT ENGINE SURFACE INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT." THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE, YET THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON MY YEAR OF VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED! MY CAR IS 2 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY AND FORD ISN'T WILLING TO HELP ME OUT. THEY HAVE 2 OTHER CARS IN FOR THE SAME SERVICE REPAIRS IN WACONIA MN RIGHT NOW! THE CAR SHOOK/VIBRATING WHEN I STARED IT. *TR

I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY 2015 FORD FUSION. THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I ALSO CANNOT USE ANY OF MY 4 WINDOWS, THE RADIO, LOCK THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE, AND NOW MY OUTSIDE LIGHTS WONT ALWAYS TURN ON. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THIS HAPPENS MORE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. I HAVE TWO TODDLERS AND WE TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE FAIRLY REGULARLY. WHAT HAPPENS IF ITS A HOT SUMMER DAY, THE AC SHUTS OFF AND I CANT ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY CHILDREN? 6/19/2020 I HAD A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT ONE HOUR AWAY AND THIS HAPPENED TO ME; LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH. I OFTEN WORK EVENINGS AND NIGHTS, HALF AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. I CAN'T DRIVE WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. THERE IS 0 PATTERN IN THESE ISSUES SO I CANNOT PINPOINT WHAT EXACTLY TRIGGERS THIS. PULLING OVER AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, TAKING THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND WAITING FOR ALL ELECTRICITY TO SHUT OFF BEFORE RESTARTING THE CAR DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAD TO BRING MY CAR IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS, EACH TIME BEING TOLD "NOTHING FOUND THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR" UNTIL I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY, MADE A COMPLAINT, AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER, AND AM NOW BEING TOLD THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SYSTEM IS "SHOT". THE MORE I RESEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT THESE ISSUES, THE MORE I SEE OTHER'S MAKING SAME/SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE. *TR

I CALLED MY DEALER TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 20S15 NHTSA RECALL 20V-177 DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE NOT REPLACING THE DOOR LATCH UNLESS I AM HAVING ISSUES. ISN'T THIS A RISK AND WOULDN'T THEM REPLACING THE DOOR LATCH NOW RESOLVE ANY PROBLEMS, IF THERE ARE ANY, IN THE FUTURE? THE DEALER IS FORD OF UPLAND | 555 W. FOOTHILL BLVD., UPLAND, CA 91786. *TR

I LEASED A USED VEHICLE ON 6/5 AND WAS KEPT THERE TILL AUTOPLAZA'S CLOSING TIME AT 7 SO WHEN I FINALLY LEFT THE CAR LOT I REALIZED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT THERE WAS NO HORN. I CALLED WHEN THEY REOPENED ON 6/6 TO SCHEDULE IT TO BE FIXED WHICH THEY AGREED TO HAVE IT READY BY 6/8, UNFORTUNATELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT SAME AFTERNOON ON 6/6 THE CARS ENGINE DIED AND I MANAGED TO COAST THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A RANDOM PARKING LOT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SALES MAN AND I QUOTE HE SAID 'IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR AND THAT HE WAS ALREADY TRACKING ME ON GPS' SO I WAS TOLD TO LOCK THE KEYS IN THE CAR AND IT WOULD BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE READY BY 6/8. FAST FORWARD TO THE AFTERNOON OF 6/8, I CALL THE DEALERSHIP A HOUR BEFORE GETTING OFF WORK AT 3:30PM TO VERIFY IT WOULD BE READY BY 5 AND TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNSURE IF THEY HAD THE CAR TO BEGIN WITH AND WAS PUT ON HOLD TILL THE PHONE CALL DROPPED FROM THEIR END. I CALLED BACK AGAIN AND WAS MET WITH A VOICEMAIL SO I LEFT IT ALONE AND TRIED TO GET INFORMATION AGAIN ON 6/10. THIS TIME THE SALES MAN SAID IT WASN'T HIS PROBLEM AND TO CALL THE OFFICE FOR SERVICE BUT AFTER BEING FORWARDED TO VOICEMAIL MULTIPLE TIMES I DEMANDED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER. I TELL THE MANAGER I'M AWARE IT'S ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT A HORN AND THAT I'VE BEEN DUPED SO I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND HIS ANSWER WAS NO THAT HE ALREADY RECEIVED MONEY FROM A BANK ON MY BEHALF. I TOLD HIM HE HAD TILL THE END OF 6/10 TO GIVE ME A ANSWER ON WHEN IT WOULD BE READY OR I WOULD GET A LAWYER SO HIS ANSWER WAS NO MATTER WHAT HE WOULD CALL ME BY 5PM THAT DAY WITH A STATUS UPDATE BUT HE NEVER CALLED. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANY STRAIGHT ANSWER OR EVEN A MANAGER ON THE PHONE AND IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 WEEKS. I HAVE A PAYMENT DUE FROM THEM FOR $250 EVERY 2 WEEKS WHICH IS DUE TOMORROW BUT I BLOCKED THE PAYMENTS. *TR

I OPENED THE REAR DRIVER DOOR, PLACED GROCERIES IN THE BACK SEAT, AND ATTEMPTED TO SHUT THE DOOR. THE DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH SHUT AT THIS POINT. THE LATCH WAS IN THE OPEN POSITION AND I COULD EMULATE THE STRIKING PLATE WITH A SCREWDRIVER AND IT WOULD CLOSE, BUT THERE WASN'T ANY RESISTANCE WHEN SLIDING THE SCREW DRIVER OUT. I SUSPECT THAT SUPPORTING SPRING BROKE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE ISSUE WAS THE DOOR LATCH AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR FORD CUSTOMER SUPPORT WOULD CONSIDER MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHER RECALLED FORD VEHICLES BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALLED FACTORY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DUE DILIGENCE IS DONE TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NOT ANOTHER BATCH OF VEHICLES WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF A RECALL. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHILE ON HIGHWAY, AFTER GETTING OFF THERE WAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE. TOWED TO FRONTIER FORD IN SAN JOSE, CA. FOUND P0302, P0315 PCM. ENGINE MISFIRE. #2 CYLINDER WAS FOUND TO HAVE COOLANT INSIDE. A NEW ENGINE LOG BLOCK IS NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN. THIS ENGINE CLEARLY HAS A NUMBER OF ISSUES, REPORTED BY MANY OTHER OWNERS. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS ENGINE HAS ABOUT A 5 YEAR LIFE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IN ORDER FOR FORD TO PAY FOR THIS FAULTY ENGINE. THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

2015 FORD FUSION REGULARLY SERVICED AUTOMOBILE WITH ~55K MILES SUFFERED A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE FROM A RUPTURED BRAKE LINE. AUTO REPAIR SHOP INDICATES DRIVER SIDE LINE ABOUT TO RUPTURE (BUBBLING) AS WELL. PHONED INQUIRY INTO FORD HQ, NO RECALL ON RECORD SO THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY OF ESTIMATED $850 REPAIR. FORD CASE # [XXX]. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND STATIONARY. TURNED ON CAR AS NORMAL, TURNED OFF ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, BACKED UP AND STARTED DRIVING ON A RELATIVELY FLAT AND STRAIGHT 25 MPH CITY STREET ABOUT TO ENTER HIGHWAY 17 OVER SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS. PULLED OVER WHEN BRAKE PEDAL MOVED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NEAR ZERO BRAKING ABILITY. CAR WARNING SYSTEM DID FLASH LOW BRAKE FLUID SIGN. ATTACHED PHOTO FROM REPAIR SHOP SHOWS COMPLETE BRAKE LINE FAILURE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD A ROUGH IDLE. MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER ONE, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND CLEARED THE CODE, WAS RUNNING FINE. FEW DAYS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WAS COOLANT IN MY CYLINDER AND THAT MY ENGINE MAY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN THE POWER STEERING CEASED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCE RANDOM ENGINE MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GULF COAST FORD (3000 N, STATE HWY 288, ANGLETON, TX 77515) AND DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET. HER DAUGHTER WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,000.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A LOT. I STARTED IT, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE CAME UP. THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD METALLIC SCREECHING SOUND WHEN I BEGAN BACKING. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE, IT WAS SLUGGISH AND DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY REPLACED A BRAKE SWITCH. NINE DAYS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME AT MY HOME. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC (NOT THE FORD HOUSE), WHO FOUND A CODE IN HISTORY INDICATING THAT THE PROBLEM HAD A TECHNICIAN NOTICE THAT STATES TO REPLACE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. HE COULD NOT MAKE THE CAR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AFTER CLEARING THE CODES, SO I CHOSE NOT TO REPLACE IT. THIS PART AND REPAIR WILL BE OVER $800! WHEN MY MECHANIC CALLED THE FORD HOUSE TO FIND THE CODE THEY USED TO DETERMINE THAT A BRAKE SWITCH WAS OUT, HE WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT MAKE A NOTE OF THE CODE. MY MECHANIC WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD STILL HAVE BRAKES IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ASSISTED BY THE BOOSTER AND WILL REQUIRE LONGER DISTANCES TO STOP. SINCE THERE IS A TECHNICIAN'S SAFETY ALERT ALREADY POSTED, THIS HAS TO HAVE OCCURRED ON OTHER VEHICLES, SO THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE THIS BOOSTER. FORD DID CHANGE THE BOOSTER USED THE YEAR AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. I ALSO WONDER IF THE FORD HOUSE REPLACED A BRAKE SWITCH THAT WAS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHEN THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BOOSTER. SINCE WE HAVE NO CODE TO REFER TO, WE WILL NEVER KNOW. *TR

I SENT THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO OTHER AGENCIES AS WELL BUT WANTED TO SEND IT TO YOU. SINCE I SENT THE LETTER I HAVE FOUND THAT MY PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO A BUNCH OF OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS WHERE THE GASKET GOES BAD AND FLUIDS LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER AND RUINS THE ENGINE. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A FLAW IN MY ENGINE MODEL. I HAVE AN ECOBOOST ENGINE AND FROM WHAT I WAS READING ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THERE'S BEEN A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAR. I'M GOING TO COPY AND PASTE THE LETTER I SENT TO YOU EARLIER TODAY. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM GOLD MILL FORD IN NILES, IL AND HAVE ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALER. THE CAR ONLY HAS 33 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER IN APRIL OF 2015. THE WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED ON APRIL 13, 2020 AND ON MAY 19, 2020 THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. I HAD JUST BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER ON MAY 4TH 2020. I LOST MY JOB AND WITH ALL THE COVID 19 STUFF GOING ON I NEVER GOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PUT MY INSURANCE ON THE CAR ON HOLD MAY 26, 2020 CAUSE I WASN'T GOING TO BE DRIVING IT WITH THE COVID 19 STUFF. I'M NOT SURE IF THEY FORGOT TO PUT A CAP ON SOMETHING AT THE MAY 4TH OIL CHANGE OR SOMETHING BUT ALL I KNOW IS THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT BEFORE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE OIL CHANGE AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT THEY SAY NEEDS OVER $5030 AND TAX WORTH OF REPAIRS. I TRIED TO GET HELP FROM THE FORD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM BUT THEY DENIED ME ANY HELP. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT CAUSE I DON'T HAVE $5,030 PLUS TAX TO FIX THE ENGINE. WHAT WOULD BE MY OPTIONS TO GETTING HELP? I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME FIGURE OUT THIS MESS AND GET SOME HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING MY STORY.

MY 2015 FUSION HAD INTERMITTENT ROUGH IDLES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON. I CHECKED OUT THE CODE AND IT WAS P0301 - MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ' PENSKE FORD IN LA MESA, CA - FOR INSPECTION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAD HIS TEAM PRESSURE TEST AND BOROSCOPE THE ENGINE AND FOUND COOLANT RESIDUE IN CYLINDER 1. HE SAID THAT THEY CHECKED FOR THE FIX TO THE ISSUE AND FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT (I FOUND IT ON NHTSA WEBSITE ' BULLETIN 20-2100), WHICH DIRECTED THEM TO REPLACE THE SHORT-BLOCK - $7,000 ISH DOLLARS TO FIX. WITH JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM MANY FORD OWNERS ARE HAVING RIGHT NOW WITH THIS ENGINE - 1.5L I4 F DOHC 16V. THERE IS EVEN AN EXPLORATORY CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT BEING FORMULATED AROUND THIS ENGINE ISSUE (HTTPS://WWW.NEWSOM.LAW/FORD-FUSION-OVERHEATING-LAWSUIT.HTML), SO IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT PITTING ON THE SHORT BLOCK IS THE LIKELY CAUSE AND THAT IS WHY FORD HAS SAID TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE SHORT BLOCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, LIVING IN A MILD CLIMATE, AND THE BLOCK IS PITTING. I CONTACTED FORD THROUGH THEIR ONLINE CHAT AND THROUGH THE PHONE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST ME SHORT OF SAYING THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT, SO THERE IS NO ISSUE ON THEIR PART. THEY SAID NHTSA HAS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING OUT OF THEIR POCKET. ATTACHED DOCUMENTS INCLUDE: TRANSCRIPT FROM ONLINE CHAT TO FORD LINKS TO MY RESEARCH INCLUDING EXAMPLE OF CASES ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME CAR LETTER I AM SENDING TO FORD INVOICE FROM FORD DEALER WHERE ISSUE IS NOTED AND SB 20-2100 IS NOTED THE FORD SERVICE BULLETIN REFERENCED - 20-2100 *TR

SEVERAL TIMES TODAY MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DASH DISPLAY SAID "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN THE MOTOR SHUT OFF - NO LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES. ONE TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED, THE SECOND TIME WAS DRIVING SLOWLY ON A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD. THE ENGINE WILL NOT START AFTER IT STOPS - I HAVE TWO WAIT 15 MINUTES SOMETIMES. WHEN I TRY TO START THE ENGINE THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH - BATTERY CHECKED GOOD, 100% CHARGE. SINCE THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MOST OWNERS ON THE INTERNET SAY THAT FORD NEVER "FINDS A PROBLEM."

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT CATCH, DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. *TR

BOUGHT USED IN FEB 2019. IN JULY OF SAME YEAR IT WAS DIAGNOSED BLOWN HEAD GASKET CYL 2. OUT OF WARRANTY SO HAD TO PAY $3,100.00 TO REPLACE. NOW, 9 MONTHS LATER, SAME THING CYLINDER 2. IN DECEMBER OF 2019 FORD CAME OUT WITH BULLETIN TSB 19-2375 STATING THE BLOCK NEEDS REPLACED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THAT IS AN OVER $6,000.00 REPAIR. I CALL THAT A DEFECTIVE BLOCK WHICH SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL, FORD SIMPLY TOLD ME IT'S CALLED OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT'S MY PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM IS, IT'S MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. SO WHAT IT IS DOING IS WHEN I START IT, IT RUNS ROUGH BECAUSE IT IS MISFIRING DO TO COOLANT LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER AND WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF EXHAUST. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT FORD KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTIVE BLOCK OTHERWISE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ISSUED THE BULLETIN. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2014 THROUGH 2019 PRODUCED 1.5 LITER MOTORS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TRIED TO UPLOAD THE REPAIR BILL AND THE TSB BULLETIN BUT IT STATED FILE TOO BIG.

COOLANT LEAK. VEHICLE SERVICED 3 WEEKS AGO, AND COOLANT IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING CAUSING ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE SINCE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED.

THE SYNC INTOUCH SYSTEM IN MY 2015 FORD FUSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I GO TO MY CLIMATE SETTING IT STATES TEMPORARY LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIMATE SYSTEM. I'M NOT ABLE TO TURN MY VOLUME ON OR OFF/UP OR DOWN, OR CHANGE THE RADIO STATION. I'M ALSO NOT ABLE TO ROLL DOWN MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHETHER I'M STATIONARY OR DRIVING. *TR

FORD FUSIONS HAVING A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE . I'VE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE & NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER ONLY HAVING MY FUSION FOR TWO YEARS & STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. CAR MAKES A SLOSHING NOISE IN DASHBOARD WHEN ACCELERATING , TURNING OR BRAKING & CAR OVERHEATS DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE & HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REFILL COOLANT . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S FRONT DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LOCK FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. THE CONTACT SECURED THE DOOR WITH STRAPS. THE CONTACT CONTACTED BELL FORD (2401 W BELL RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85023, (602) 457-2144) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V177000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE DOOR LATCH OF THE REAR LEFT DOOR WON'T LATCH. I AM UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR (DOOR STAYS OPEN, UNLOCKED). I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SHUT THE DOOR CLOSED UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY THIS MORNING WHEN I WENT AND OPENED THE DOOR, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE I NOTICE THE DOOR STAYS LOOSE OPEN.

HAS PROBLEMS STARTING AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A PURGE VALVE. KNOW ALOT OF OTHER FUSION OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND 40,000 MILES. HAVE TO SIT AT GAS STATION ABOUT 10 TO 15 MIN SOMETIMES. OTHERS TIMES JUST STARTS ROUGH.

AFTER GETTING GAS THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO START. ONCE STARTED AND PRESSING OF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR RESIST MOVING FORWARD. ON OCCASION A LOUD AIR SOUND COMES FROM WHERE GAS IS PUMPED IN. IF I STOP TO OPEN THE GAS DOOR AND RELEASE THE AIR IN THE LINE THE CAR CREATES ANOTHER LOUD SOUND LIKE AIR OUT OF A TIRE. YOU CAN SMELL GAS AROUND THE VEHICLE WHETHER I PUMP IT IN OR NOT. THIS HAS HAPPEN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THE LAST TIME WAS ON MARCH 12, 2020.

IN OCT. 2019 I BOUGHT A 2015 FORD FUSION SE WITH 65K MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE PUT 4K MILES ON IT. ON 3/17/20 MY CAR STARTED CUTTING OUT AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE IT 1/2 MILE TO THE NEAREST STORE AND CALLED MY FRIEND TO BRING HIS CAR CODE READER. IT WAS SHOWING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. WENT AND GOT A SPARK PLUG AND NEW COIL PACK AND PUT ON IT. THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND WAS STILL SHOWING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP IN PRATTVILLE, AL. TO SEE WHY IT WAS STILL SHOWING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE HEAD AROUND CYLINDER 2. I CALLED RIVERSIDE CHEVROLET IN WETUMPKA, AL BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CALLED COLLIER FORD IN WETUMPKA, AL BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILES ON IT TO SEE IF THEY COULD LOOK AT IT FOR ME AND POSSIBLE HELP ME OUT WITH THE COST. I HAD IT TOWED TO COLLIER FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BLOCK IS CRACKED AND THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT COLLIER FORD AND THE GENERAL MANAGER AT RIVERSIDE CHEVROLET WAS IN CONTACT WITH FORD TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET THIS RESOLVED FOR ME. AS OF TODAY 3/25/20 I STILL DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO IF FORD IS GOING TO REPLACE MY MOTOR. I NOTICED AFTER DOING RESEARCH THAT THIS IS AN COMMON PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HASN'T BECOME A RECALL YET. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT.

SPARK PLUGS CONTINUE TO FOUL CAUSING ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK INTO ENGINE RESULTING IN NEEDING A ENGINE REPLACEMENT. BEEN TOLD I NEED A BRAND NEW ENGINE ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR.

I BEGAN TO HEAR A SCRAPPING NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND IT WAS A CLOSED SYSTEM AND ONLY FORD WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS. I TOOK MY CAR TO KNOX FORD WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAD THEM CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. AFTER INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT THIS WAS TIMING DRIVEN AND AGAIN ONLY FORD COULD DO THIS REPAIR. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THEY QUOTED ME 672.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD TAKE 4.5 HOURS TO COMPLETE. AT 5PM THE FOLLOWING DAY I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY HAD JUST FINISHED IT. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT IT TOOK LONGER BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL WATER PUMP WAS DISCONTINUED BECAUSE FORD KNEW THE PART WAS BAD. THEY CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAD TO RESEARCH HOW TO CUT THE WIRES THAT WERE NO LONGER NEEDED AND INSTALL THE NEW WATER PUMP. V

THE LUG NUTS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH EITHER THE TOOL FORD PROVIDED, A 4 WAY WRENCH OR SOCKETS WHEN I GOT A FLAT. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED FIGHTING WITH THIS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE LUG NUTS AS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE.

VEHICLE HAS 100,215 MILES AND IS 5 YEARS OLD MID JANUARY 2020 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODE 303 - CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS. SAME CODE. HAD VEHICLE CHECKED BY PRIVATE MECHANIC. COOLANT LOCATED IN CYLINDER 3. CASE STARTED WITH FORD MOTOR CO. VEHICLE TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS ORGINALLY PURCHASED. AFTER ADDING DYE TO THE COOLANT THEY VERIFIED THE CYLINDER #3 LEAK. THEY RECCOMEND AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT - $6550.20. THEY OFFERED TO BUY VEHICLE FROM US FOR $1500.00. OH, AND I SHOULD MENTION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OFFICIALLY PAID OFF ONE WEEK BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS ALL STARTED. SEE ATTACHED INVOICE FROM FEBRUARY 2020

ON 10/7/2019 I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO FORT MILL FORD (SC) FOR A TIRE CHANGE AND REGULAR SERVICE. WHEN I CAME TO PICK IT UP ON 10/10/2019, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. UPON ADVISING MY TECH BRITTANY OF THE ISSUE, THEY SENT OUT A TECH TO JUMP START THE CAR THAT WAS JUST SERVICED. WHEN THE CAR WAS JUMP STARTED, AN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS AT 62000 MILES. I WENT BACK TO MY ADVISER BRITTANY AGAIN AND SHE STATED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND THAT FORD ACTIVATES THOSE WHEN SEASONS CHANGE AND IS PART OF THEIR SOFTWARE. SHE INSISTED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE CAR AND REFERENCED THE INSPECTION LIST I WAS GIVEN FOR MY 2015 FORD FUSION SE. NOT THREE WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT FROM BEING CONSTANTLY ON, TO FLASHING. THIS ALSO CAUSED AN INTENSE WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AND A STRONG GAS PRESENCE IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING ON I-77 HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORT MILL FORD ON 11/18/2019 FOR INSPECTION. THE NEXT DAY, BRITTANY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY FOUND AN ISSUE WITH MY SPARK-PLUG AND THAT IT MIGHT COST ANYWHERE FROM $200 TO $6000.00 TO REPAIR IT. SINCE THE ISSUE WAS NOT CAUSED BY ME I WAS NOT GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHARGES AND AFTER WEEKS OF IGNORING ME, FORD MOTOR COMPANY (OFFICE OF ELENA FORD) DECIDED TO GET INVOLVED. HOWEVER, THE CAUSE WENT FROM SPARK-PLUGS TO COOLANTS THEN CYLINDERS AND I WAS NEVER GIVEN A SPECIFIC CAUSE. I DID NOT HAVE MY CAR FOR OVER 60 DAYS BECAUSE ALL PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I GOT MY CAR BACK ON 1/21/2020 AND IT IS STILL SHOWING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. OUT OF 91 NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON ENGINE ISSUES, OVER 31 HAVE THESE SAME SYMPTOMS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS DETAILING THIS ISSUE. THIS FORM DOES NOT OFFER ENOUGH SPACE FOR RELEVANT INFORMATION AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD THE LAST EMAIL THREAD. *DT*JB

STEERING SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY LOCKED ON INITIAL STARTING VEHICLE. CAR WILL SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE, BUT WILL NOT STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS, 2/14 AND 15/2020. STEERING WILL ONLY BECOME OPERATIONAL AFTER CAR HAS BECOME HEATED, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. THIS ALL HAPPENED EARLY MORNING HOUR OF TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 8 DEGREES. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY LAST FORD FUSION 2010, WHICH I TRADED IN FOR THIS FORD FUSION.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT INDICATED LOW COOLANT AND MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 4. I HAD A COOLANT LEAK INTO CYLINDER 4 IN MY ENGINE AT APPROX 69,000 MILES AND WAS ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BLOCK... THEIR WERE 3 OTHER CARS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROX 7500... AFTER COMPLAINING TO SERVICE DEPT THEY OPENED A CASE WITH FORD AND THEY AGREED TO DO IT FOR APPROX 2500 AS IT WAS JUST OUT OF 60,000 WARRANTY AND JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID FORD HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HEAD GASKET APPARENTLY MOVING AND WEARING OUT WHICH CAUSED THE ISSUE. APPROX 8 MONTHS LATER EXACT SAME ISSUE AND I NEEDED ANOTHER ENGINE CHANGE. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD 7 CARS IN SHOP WITH SAME ISSUE WAITING ON ENGINE CHANGES.AGAIN WAS TOLD FORD HAS ISSUES W HEAD GASKET MOVING AND WEARING OUT GASKET ALLOWING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO CYLINDER. SUPPOSEDLY FORD HAS UPGRADED THEIR GASKETS AND OTHER PARTS TO CORRECT ISSUE BUT I DONT BELIEVE THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD BEAR RESPONSIBILITY WHEN FORD HAS KNOWN ISSUE THAT COSTS CUSTOMERS SUCH A BIG AMOUNT. I KNOW IT WAS JUST PAST ORIG WARRANTY BUT THIS IS A FORD ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT CUSTOMERS AND BEARING BRUNT OF COSTS. THE SECOND ENGINE CHANGE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT IM CONCERNED ABOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN OR THE LOSS OF VALUE FROM 2 ENGINE CHANGES IN LESS THAN 80K MILES. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE. ENGINE WAS CHANGED TWICE IN 2019 AND LESS THAN 10K MILES IN BETWEEN.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON I DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED A FORD DEALER (DOVI MOTORS, CORTLAND, NY) AS MY POWER STEERING GEAR MOTOR DETACHED DUE TO THE BOLTS CORRODING THAT RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND UNSAFE DRIVING. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (NUMBER 19S26). THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE RE-EVALUATED TO PREVENT INJURY TO OTHERS AFFECTED.

THE ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPS WORKING. THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL AND REAR DEFROSTER WILL NOT WORK. I AM UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS OR KEEP THE ENTIRE CABIN OF THE CAR WARM. IT FIRST HAPPENED THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS HEADED TO WORK. I DROVE THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE, AND EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN AGAIN.

THE CONNECTOR TO THE FRONT HEATED AND COOLED SEAT MODULE NEARLY CAUGHT FIRE, WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION OR ALTERATION.

TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC AROUND 25 MPH WITH TRAFFIC SLOWING TO A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITH ALMOST NO BRAKING AT ALL. THIS RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION.

MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF TURNING OFF EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR RIGHT AFTER I GET GAS AND NOT STARTING BACK UP. I HAVE GOTTEN THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED AS THAT IS WHAT THE DEALER SAID WAS THE ISSUE AND ONE YEAR LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM GROCERY SHOPPING WHEN I LOST CONTROL OVER STEERING. THE MOMENT WHEN I LOST CONTROL WAS DURING MY SLIGHT RIGHT TURN MOVING AT SPEED OF ABOUT 30MPH I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I WAS MORE FOCUSED TO NOT HIT ANYONE PRESENR AT THAT MOMENT ON THE ROAD. GOOD THING IS THAT SCHOOL ACROSS THE ROAD WAS CLOSED BECAUSE TIMING WHEN THIS HAPPEN WAS AROUND THE TIME WHEN PARENTS USUALLY PICK THEIR KIDS FOR SCHOOL. AFTER I PARKED CAR I INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPEN. THERE WERE THREE MESSAGES INDICATING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG: 1. STEERING ASSIST FAULT - SERVICE REQUIRED, 2. SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND 3. HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS SEARCHING TODAY TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIANCE AND RESULTS WERE POSITIVE A LOT OF CASES LIKE THIS ONE. THINGS THAT ALL REPORTS HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT ALL OWNERS NEEDED TO PAY TO FIX CAR NO OPTION FOR RECAL. EVENTHOUGH THAT MODELS LIKE THIS ONE USED TO HAVE SEVERAL THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ON SIMILAT THINGS IN THE PAST.

DRIVING FROM CA TO CO FOR CHRISTMAS. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE "DOOR OPEN" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHIME SOUNDED AS LOCKED LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED!!

NO RECALL FOR MY 2015, WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS THE COST SAVING MEASURES STILL APPLY. I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR CLOSED WITH THE SEATBELT, BUT IT'S NOT TIGHT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE WARNINGS OFF. NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE BACK SEAT DUE TO SEATBELTS BEING USED! WE ARE AFRAID THE OTHER DOOR LATCHES WILL SOON FAIL AS WELL. WE STILL HAVE TO DRIVE BACK TO CA! *DT *DL

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT OR PASSENGER RESTRAINT ONCE UNLOCKED TO GET OUT OF CAR THE RESTRAINT (BELT) APPARENTLY WENT ALL THE WAY BACK UP IN THE HOUSING LEAVING MY DAUGHTER WITHOUT THAT SAFETY FEATURE WHEN SHE CAME OUT OF WORK TO DRIVE HOME. AFTER SHE GOT HOME AND TINKERED WITH THE HOUSING IT SOUNDED LIKE A METAL BALL MOVED INSIDE THE HOUSING AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE BELT TO RELEASE AND HASN'T HAD A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM SINCE. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY. SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE RESTRAINT ON THAT MORNING. DIDN'T NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL SHE GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO COME HOME. SO THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR 10 HOURS, AS SHE DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL SHE GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE HOME.

AS I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD I NOTICED MORE PUSHBACK AS I ACCELERATED THE IDOL AND MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND AND RETURNED HOME IN FEAR OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND WAS QUOTED A STARTING $1,700 REPAIR FOR A HEAD GASKET REPAIR. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I WAS SHOCKED HOW COMMON THIS REPAIR IS AND WAS IN DISBELIEF THIS PART IS NOT RECALLED AFTER I SEARCHED NHTSA.GOV. AS A CONSUMER, I'D LIKE TO REPORT THE HEAD GASKET IN THE 2015 FORD FUSION 2.5L TO THE NHTSA FOR REVIEW AND RE-CALL CONSIDERATION.

I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND 6000 DOLLARS LATER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE BLOCK. THE CODES GAVE NO CLUE TO WHAT WAS WRONG AND CAR NEVER OVERHEATED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A 4 AND 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND REMBURSE ME.

UPON INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT IN 2017 THE 2013-2014 FORD FUSION HAD A RECALL FOR RELATED ISSUES THAT CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO START ON FIRE. CURRENTLY MANY CUSTOMER REPORTS ON THE 2015 FUSION AS WELL BUT NO ACTION ON FORD MOTORS BEHALF.

I NOTICED MY FLOOR WAS WET IN THE BACK SEAT AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FROM GETTING MY KIDS IN AND OUT IN THE RAIN BUT AFTER I CLEANED IT UP I NOTICED A DAY LATER IT WAS WET AGAIN AND I DIDNT HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND IT WAS RAINING. THE NEXT DAY I OPENED MY TRUNK LID AND FELT THE CARPETING AND IT WAS SOAKED SO I PULLED THE LINER OUT AND I SEEN STANDING WATER IN MY WHEEL WELL I VACUUMED THE WATER AND TO FIND MY LEAK I PULLED DOWN MY BACK SEATS AND CLOSED THE TRUNK LID AND I GOT PHONE TO RECORD IT I HAD MY WIFE SPRAY THE REAR END OF MY CAR WITH THE WATER HOSE AND I CAN SEE WATER POURING IN AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM BROKEN FACTORY WELDS IN THE TOP PART OF MY TRUNK .

STARTED CAR, GOT DASHBOARD LIGHT ON 7.6.19 MILEAGE 27721. CAR RUNNING ROUGH, ABOUT TO STALL,ETC. ERROR CODE P0302. CYL.#2 IGNITION COIL REPLACED. THEN, 2 WEEKS LATER GOT DASHBOARD LIGHT AGAIN, SAME CODE P0302. MECHANIC (PRIVATE)REPLACED PERCEIVED FAULTY IGNITION COIL AS PREVIOUS. ON 9.23 .19 CAR STARTED,. CAR RUNS ROUGH, ALMOST STALLS DASHBOARD LIGHTS AGAIN. THIS TIME WE TAKE IT TO ROYAL OAK FORD SERVICE DEPT. THEY GET P0302 AND ADVISE US TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS. $307.29 CHARGE. UPON INSPECTION OF SPARK PLUGS I NOTE ALL PLUGS ARE HEAVILY COATED IN CARBON. I CHECK THE TAILPIPE AND THE INSIDE IS ALSO HEAVILY CARBON COATED. SHORTLY AFTER I FIND INFORMATION THAT MOST DIRECT INJECT ENGINES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT HARD INFO TO FIND. BECAUSE OF DIRECT INJECTION THE VALVES DO NOT RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF DETERGENT GASOLINES AND BECOME HEAVILY COATED IN CARBON. THIS IS AN OVERSIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS OCCURRING., BUT MAKES THE POINT. I CONFIRM FINDINGS WITH AND SHOW PLUGS TO, MY MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMS ;THAT THESE DIRECT INJECT ENGINES HAVE AN ISSUE THE MANUFACTURERS CAN'T OR HAVEN'T CORRECTED, WHICH RESULTS IN THE CONDITION MY SPARK PLUGS WERE FOUND IN. I FOUND NOTSB'S ON THE SUBJECT. MECHANIC RECOMMENDS A GDI SERVICE, WHICH INCLUDES PULLING ALL VALVES AND CLEANING THEM. HE ALSO RECOMMENDS ANYONE WITH A DI ENGINE TO DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR TO KEEP VEHICLE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND TO GET MAXIMUM LIFE OUT OF THE PLUGS. BY THE WAY, FIRST SERVICE INTERVAL FOR PLUGS ON THIS CAR IS 100,000 MILES. THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO SO FAR, BUT DO KNOW THAT IT CAN GET MUCH WORSE (AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE) FWIW THE MECHANIC BELIEVES THE MANUFACTURERS (IN THIS CASE FORD) ARE WELL AWARE OF THESE ISSUES WITH DIRECT INJECT DESIGNED ENGINES. PIC OF PLUGS INCL. BELOW.

ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CARS MAIN BATTERY HAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. SOMETHING IN THE CAR KEEPS DRAINING THE BATTERY FOR NO REASON ALL ESSENTIALS ARE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THAT I AM AWARE. IN ALL CASES THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR PERIODS OF TIME. MY WIFE WENT ON A BUSINESS TRIP CAME BACK AFTER TWO WEEKS TO FIND HER CAR AT LOT DEAD. .SHE MANAGED TO GET A JUMP FROM SOMEONE. THIS WAS DURING MINNESOTA WINTER. CAR LEFT IN GARAGE FOR SUMMER WHILE TOOK OTHER CAR ON A TRIP FOR A FEW WEEKS ONLY TO COME BACK WHERE CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN. MANAGED TO GET IT RECHARGED. AGAIN CAR LEFT IN GARAGE FOR LONGER PERIOD ABOUT 3 MONTHS AS WIFE WAS ON DISABILITY. CAR AGAIN WAS FOUND DEAD AND WAS UNABLE TO RECHARGE AS MY CHARGER INDICATED BATTERY WAS BAD. CAR UNDER WARRANTY. TOWED TO WHERE PURCHASED, SAID BATTERY WAS BAD. I INFORMED THEM THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND APPARENTLY BATTERY WAS NOT UNDER SAME WARRANTY. BATTERY REPLACED OUT OF MY POCKET. CAR WENT BACK INTO STORAGE AGAIN. AGAIN BATTERY DIED. TOOK IN AGAIN AND I ASKED THEY CONDUCT A THROUGH TEST AS SOMETHING KEEPS DRAINING THE BATTERY. I ALSO WENT OUT TO CHARGE THE BATTERY ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS. BUT EVENTUALLY MY CHARGER TAGGED THE BATTERY AS BAD AGAIN. THEY REPLACED AGAIN NO CHARGE. BUT THEY SAID WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING. AFTER HOME THIS TIME I CHARGED EVERY WEEK AND WHEN I DO THE BATTERY SHOWS IT HAS DRAINED ANYWHERE FROM 30% - 40% EACH WEEK. I NEED SOMEONE TO INTERVENE WITH FORD AS I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AS MUCH NOW AND THIS IS CONCERNING AS NOW IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND WARRANTY ENDS SOON. CAR WAS SERVICED EACH TIME AT MIDWAY FORD 2777 N SNELLING, ROSEVILLE, MN 55113 (844) 338-7004. I DON'T HAVE OTHER DETAILS AT THIS TIME. ALL RECORDS ARE WITH DEALERSHIP OF SERVICE.

DASH BOARD IS WARPING CAUSING DEFROSTER VENTS TO NOT PROPERLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. DASH BOARD IS RUBBING ON THE WINDSHIELD CREATING A DISTRACTING SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. DASH BOARD IS ALSO SUNKEN UP AND DOWN ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD LINE.

I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING NOT LONG AFTER I GOT MY CAR WHICH IS STILL PRETTY NEW. WHILE DRIVING I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. AFTER MASHING THE PETAL ALL THE WAY DOWN THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AT THE SAME SPEED THEN LIKE 3/4 SECS LATER IT JERKED AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I THOUGHT IT MAY NEED A TUNE UP SO I WENT AND GOT THAT DONE BUT IT'S STILL DOING IT. I WAS ON A CITY STREETS GOING STRAIGHT.

ANTILOCK BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT 40-45 MPH. ALMOST CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT. BRAKE PUMP FAILURE CAUSED CAMSHAFT FAILURE AND A BEARING TO FALL APART AND PUT METAL SHAVINGS INTO ENGINE. NOW ENGINE, PER DEALERSHIP, WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE SHOWED HOT AND WENT INTO SHUTDOWN MODE WITHIN A MILE, TOOK TO FORD THE NEXT DAY THEY RESET COMPUTER AND ADDED A LITTLE FLUID. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE COOLANT LEVEL ON MY TRIP TOTAL TO BE AROUND 1200 MILES. CAR NEEDED COOLANT ADDED ALONG THE WAY BUT DID OKAY ON THE HIGHWAY. ON MY WAY BACK ABOUT 150 MILES INTO MY TRIP THE ENGINE TEMP WENT UP FOR A SEC THEN BACK DOWN SO I PULLED OVER WITHIN A MILE BY THIS TIME YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AFTER LETTING THE ENGINE COOL FOR A WHILE I TRIED ADDING COOLANT AND IT POURED OUT THE BOTTOM OF ENGINE. FORD TELLS ME IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE DUE TO A CRACKED BLOCK THAT IS BECOMING A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS.

ON WEDNESDAY JULY 3, 2019, I NOTICED WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR IN THE MORNING THAT MY BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED SOFT AND I HAD TO PUSH IT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE MY BRAKES WORK. I LEFT FOR A TRIP THAT AFTERNOON DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 160 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE BRAKE SOFTNESS REMAINED THE SAME FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HOWEVER, ON THE TRIP BACK ON 7/7/2019, WHEN SITTING IN A DRIVE-THRU, MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND A WARNING ABOUT MY BRAKE FLUID BEING LOW CAME ON THE SCREEN. I HAD VIRTUALLY NO BRAKE POWER, AND EVEN WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR MY CAR WAS STILL CREEPING FORWARD. I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE I PURCHASED SOME BRAKE FLUID. THIS MADE THE WARNING GO AWAY, BUT THE BRAKES WERE STILL BARELY FUNCTIONAL. I MADE IT HOME, AND NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR AND ALL OVER THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY (7/8/2019) WHERE THEY FOUND THAT ONE BRAKE LINE HAD BURST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL, AND THE BRAKE LINE ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO BURST. BOTH BRAKE LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS PARKED WITH MY VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT I HEARD A SMALL POP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD A LOT MORE "GIVE" TO IT. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WHILE DRIVING, I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO LUCKILY WAS ONLY 1 MILE AWAY. HE TOLD ME THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE LINE WAS RUPTURED AND THAT THIS IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF IN A CAR THAT'S ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS IN A DRIVE THRU MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY SHE REPORTED THAT THE RAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND HAD A HARD TIME STOPPING THE CAR. WIFE INSPECTED BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND FOUND IT TO BE COMPLETELY BONE DRY. DEALERSHIP FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE TO HAVE FAILED CAUSING ALL OF THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND THE BRAKES TO FAIL. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE LEAVING ME ASSED OUT. ALSO THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR EXTENDED PREMIUM FORD WARRANTY . I HAVE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH SOME THAT WERE TRAVELING AT A MUCH HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS .

I STARTED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK THIS MORNING. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. MY DASHBOARD INDICATED TWO WARNINGS: 1) STEERING ASSIST FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED. 2) SERVICE ADVANCE TRACTION. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER STEERING COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 31,351 MILES

MY CAR HAS 64000 MILES. CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND ROUGH IDLE SO WE BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CODE 0302 IS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2. THEY ALSO SAID THERE IS A HOLE IS THE BLOCK BETWEEN CYLINDERS NOW. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WITH 64K MILES AND COOLANT LEVEL WAS CORRECT. THEY MENTIONED THE SLEEVE AROUND CYLINDER 2 IS TOO THIN CAUSING THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AND FORD'S REPLACEMENT ENGINE HAS A THICKER SLEEVE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THEY HAVE 4 OTHER FUSIONS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. NOW TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IS OVER $6000 AND AGAIN THERE IS SIMPLY NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WITH A CAR WITH 64K MILES. VERY FRUSTRATED AND LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION.

FORD FUSION HYBRID, STATIONARY(PARKED ON A SLIGHTLY RAISED DRIVE WAY) FOR 2 WEEKS I WAS ON VACATION. THE CAR WAS PARKED WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARKING. NEIGHBOR TOLD ME BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN. STAYED ON FOR 3 DAYS, AND WENT OUT. CAR NEEDED JUMP START. CAR IS AT FORD DEALERSHIP IN SARASOTA FL.

TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL REPAIRS FIXED, NOW WITH REPAIRS IT HAS NOW CAUSED A HARD SHIFT IN GEARS. RECALL REPAIR HAS NOW CAUSED ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED. I WAS PARKED AND CAR WOULDN'T COME OUT OF GEAR.

MY CLIMATE CONTROL WILL STOP WORKING, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANYTHING ON MY TOUCH SCREEN OR BOTTOM PART OF SCREEN WHERE YOU CONTROL TEMP. WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING THE WINDOWS LOCK AND ONLY HAVE CONTROL OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. I HAVE HAD THIS INTO THE REPAIR SHOP PROBABLY 8 TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PART 3 TIMES.

THE STEERING IS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURN IT 1 WAY OR THE OTHER. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD 2 BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON THE STEERING GEAR MOTOR. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL #15S14 FROM FORD TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO THE WORK. TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THE RECALL IS NOT IN MY STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA AND THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY $1800 TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 36,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY AND NOT HAPPY THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERY FORD FUSION IN THAT YEAR. HAVE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE JUST POND ME OFF. THE CAR IS PARKED AS DON'T DARE DRIVE IT!!!

DOOR LATCH ON BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS BROKEN AFTER NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. SIMPLY OPENED DOOR AND WHEN I WENT TO SHUT IT IT WOULD NO LONGER LATCH. IT DOES NOT STAY SHUT. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE TRUNK OF MY 2015 FORD FUSION WILL OPEN WITHOUT NOTICE. IT FIRST HAPPENED WHILE IN MY GARAGE, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW. WHEN BACK IN MY GARAGE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE TRUNK OPENED ON ITS OWN. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK TO SEE IF I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, I COULD HEAR THE TRUNK RELEASE 'TRIGGERING' AUTOMATICALLY. THIS RANDOM TRUNK OPENING OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY IN THE GARAGE.

AFTER MERGING AND ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY, OVER TO THE FAR LEFT LANE, "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING CAME UP AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER (WHAT HAWAII CONSIDERS A SHOULDER, STILL VERY DANGEROUS) THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, ONLY BEEP MULTIPLE TIMES AND DISPLAY THE SAME MESSAGE. AFTER 5 MIN ON PHONE TRYING TO GET FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, THE LOCAL HIGHWAY PATROL TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP. BEFORE I ALLOWED HIM TO TOW THE VEHICLE I TRIED TO START IT AND WAS SUCCESSFUL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 FORD FUSION WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAME OPEN AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER FORD FUSIONS WHICH WERE RECALLED. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.?? IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. VERY UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATTEMPTED TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM MY DRIVEWAY. IT STARTED FINE, BUT AFTER SHIFTING OUT OF PARK, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE ANY GEARS, LEAVING MY VEHICLE STRANDED. NO RESISTANCE IN THE SHIFTER, NO GEAR INDICATION AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE.

BACK ON 2/24/2019 I WAS BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT HAD TO SLAM IN THEIR BRAKES. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND THE PEADLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO PLANET FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE HAD A WEAK SPOT IN THE LINE AND BUSTED. THE ONLY EXPLANATION WAS DUE TO AGE? AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 61,000 MILES! THE CAUSED ME TO HAVE A WRECK AND COSTING I'VE $3,500? THIS HAPPENED IN SPRING, TX.

MY CAR WAS AT IDLE AT THE STORE FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND WENT INTO SAFE MODE THE MECHANIC SAID MY ACTIVE GRILL MOTOR WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED MY HEAD GASKET TO BLOW WITHOUT WARNING. I OWE OVER $10000 ON MY CAR AND NOW I HAVE A $4000 SHOP BILL. MY CAR HAS NEVER OVERHEATED NOT EVEN AT THAT TIME SO MY HEAD GASKET SHOULDN'T BE BLOWN! PLEASE HELP!

DRIVING DOWN CTTY STREET WHEN THE CAR BREAKS, WHEN APPLIED, WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP ADEQUATELY. BREAK PEDAL VERY FIRM TO TOUCH.. IT WOULD TAKE EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH APPLIED JUST TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND IN MOST CASES, FURTHER DOWN ROAD OR INTO INTERSECTION THAN EXPECTED.

WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. UPON INSPECTION, THE SILCONE RUBBER PAD THAT CUSHIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAD BECOME BRITTLE AND BROKE APART. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NOW DOES NOT DEPRESS FAR ENOUGH TO ACTUATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THEY ARE STUCK IN THE ON POSITION.

I HAVE 107,000 MILES ON 2015 FORD FUSION. ON MY WAY HOME MY CAR LOST POWER AND WAS NOT SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD CAR TOWED TO TUTTLE CLICK FORD IN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I WAS GOING TO NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AND I VOICED MY CONCERNS TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS WITH FORD FUSIONS. I HAVE SENT EMAILS TO MR. FORD AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER AND CEO OF FORD AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY MODEL YEAR, YET IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. ALSO FORD FOCUS AND FESTIVAL HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AS WELL. MY CAR WAS ON A CITY STREET IN MOTION WHEN THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND JERKING MOTION STARTED.

SAFETY RECALL 15S14 - STEERING GEAR MOTOR BOLT FAILURE. FORD ISSUED RECALL 15S14 WHICH IMPACTED MY VEHICLE. THE PRESS RELEASE STATES: "CUSTOMERS LOCATED IN NON-CORROSION STATES OR PROVINCES WILL BE COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY IF THEY EXPERIENCE SIMILAR CONCERNS. DEALERS WILL REPLACE STEERING GEAR MOTOR ATTACHMENT BOLTS ON CUSTOMER VEHICLES WITH NEW BOLTS, SEAL THEM, AND REPLACE DAMAGED STEERING GEARS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER." THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO DEALERS STATES FOR SOLD VEHICLES "DEALERS ARE TO REMOVE THE ORIGINAL STEERING GEAR MOTOR BOLTS, INSTALL REVISED BOLTS, AND APPLY SEALANT TO SPECIFIED AREAS OF THE STEERING GEAR. IF ANY OF THE ORIGINAL STEERING GEAR MOTOR BOLTS ARE BROKEN, MISSING OR BREAK DURING REMOVAL, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES AT NO CHARGE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER." FOR NEW IN-STOCK VEHICLES "DEALERS WILL APPLY EITHER VALUGARD RUST INHIBITOR AEROSOL VG-101A OR DAUBERT NOX RUST 7703-W TO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS ON THE STEERING GEAR.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FELIX SABATES FORD LINCOLN (7601 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED NOT TO BE INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,200. *BF*JB

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE BLOWN. ENGINE FLUID LEAK. COOLANT IS ABSORBED BY ENGINE TO COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND COME OUT AS A WHITE SMOKE THROUGH EXHAUST. ALL HAPPENED IN A CITY STREET NOT EVEN FREEWAY. NEW ENGINE NEEDED AND NEW BRAKE HOSES.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON APRIL 10, 2019. THE SEATBELT CAME LOOSE AT THE METAL CABLE. ALL OTHER 2015 FORD FUSIONS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE FUSION HYBRID. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND TURNING. *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED *JB

SWELLING LUG NUTS THAT NEED TO BE BEATEN OFF OR DRILLED OFF

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (18S08 RECALL 18V-167) IN MAY OF 2018, IRONICALLY RIGHT AFTER MY CHARGING DEVICE MELTED IN MY GARAGE OUTLET. FORD HAS SAID FOR MONTHS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THIS RESOLVED BY 2019. I WENT TWO WEEKS AGO TO MY DEAL AND THEY STILL HAVE NO UPDATE AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE RESOLVED. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CHARGE MY CAR AT HOME IN A YEAR!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE...

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, NOTICE ON MONITOR SAID "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN A 10 MINUTE PERIOD. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ACCELERATING COMING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE TWO OCCURRENCES FOLLOWING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

POWER STEERING MOTOR BOLTS CORRODED AND BROKE AT 65,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF A PREVIOUS FORD RECALL BEING SAFETY RECALL 15S14. HOWEVER, THIS RECALL ONLY EXTENDED UNTIL MARCH 13TH, 2015, WHEREAS MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON MARCH 24TH, 2015. BASED ON THIS TECHNICALITY FORD REFUSED TO COVER MY VEHICLE'S NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE THRUWAY IT IS VERY LIKELY I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS AN ATTACHED INVOICE ATTACHED FOR THE DETAILS OF THE REPAIR, THE COST OF THE REPAIR TOTALED $1,878.53.

WE HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION SE. WE WERE THE 2ND OWNER AND PURCHASED FROM A DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT STARTED SOUNDING LIKE FLUID IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. THEN IT STARTED BLOWING OUT TONS OF WHITE SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED OVER, PARKED CAR. LET SIT AND COOL DOWN. THERE WAS OIL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND COOLANT IN THE CAR. WE HAVE DONE ALL OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE REGULARLY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THEY CAME BACK STATING IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THAT BASICALLY THE CAR SUCKED IN COOLANT THROUGH THE ENGINE AND WAS BURNING (REASON FOR WHITE SMOKE). IT RUINED THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY WAS OVER AT 60K MILES........WE HAVE 65K AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A DEFECT THAT ON THEIR END. ALSO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED AT 46K MILES. HOW CAN FORD STATE THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE? WE PAID $16K FOR A CAR WE HAVE HAD BARELY OVER A YEAR AND NOW A PILE OF SCRAP METAL.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR A CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE FIRST TIME THE PART TOTALLY FAILED AND LEFT US ON THE ROAD SIDE ON A VERY DANGEROUS STRETCH OF HWY 101 AND WAS REPLACED. 1708 MILES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE CODE WAS P0340 AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED THROUGH A DEALER ROAD TEST AND WE WERE CHARGED $190.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED, WE HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR A SAFETY RECALL. WHEN WE PICKED THE CAR UP, THIS WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT. THIS HAS CAUSED US GRAVE CONCERN. MY WIFE HAS MS AND CAN'T BE LEFT ON THE ROADSIDE. WE BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE UNSAFE, AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR REPAIRS AS THE COMPUTER SHOWS THE CODE THAT WOULD STATE THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT CAUSE THE CODE TO OCCUR A THIRD TIME, THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING WELL. AGAIN, WE BELIEVE THIS IS WRONG AND WISH TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE OF A VERY REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE. OUR SERVICE ADVISER IS [XXX] FROM MOCK FORD (SHOULD BE NOTED THIS IS NOT HER FAULT NOR I BELIEVE MOCK FORD) AND THE FORD REP IS [XXX], 866-631-3788 X77756 . WE DO NOT KNOW AT THIS TIME IF THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REMEDIED. ONLY THAT THROUGH A TEST DRIVE IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE COMPUTER LOG SHOWS THE INCIDENTS. SHOULD WE JUST IGNORE THIS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND WAS DRIVEN TO A FUEL STATION. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVEN'S JERSEY CITY FORD (740 RT. 440, JERSEY CITY, NJ 07034) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW PCV VALVE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED ON MARCH 21, 2019. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN A CITY STREET. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND SEEMED TO BE ACCELERATING ITSELF. BRAKES CONTINUED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

STILL WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT CHARGING CABLE. I CHECK REGULARLY WITH THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO DATE WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. NHTSA RECALL 18V592 APPLIES.

TAKATA RECALL. CAR SPUTTERS AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS BEFORE STALLING. HAPPENS SOMETIMES AFTER DRIVING A FEW HUNDRED FEET AND OTHER TIMES AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR MILES. IDLES FINE IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. COMPUTER SHOWS NO CODES. WHEN RECRANKING, ENGINE TURNS OVER SEVERAL TIMES AND CRANKS WITHOUT KEY BEING HELD IN ON POSITION. THIS REPEATS A FEW TIMES AND THEN CAR DRIVES FINE. HAS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, AND TURNING. ALWAYS AT LOW STARTING SPEEDS.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR, THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS. IT TAKES TWO OR THREE TIME OF TRYING TO START THE CAR BEFORE IT WILL START. IT WILL RUN ROUGH FOR A WHILE BE IT STARTS RUNNING NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION ENERGI. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS CHARGING, THE PLUG MELTED INTO THE WALL AT THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V592000 (EQUIPMENT). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST HILLS FORD (1100 OYSTER BAY AVE S, BREMERTON, WA 98312) AND THEY STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT 1/26/19. BIG FORD TRUCK HIT ME IN MY PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR TOWARD THE REAR. IT SENT MY CAR INTO A COMPLETE 360 SPIN ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALLED AND BOTH INSURANCES DEALT WITH ADVISED ME TO FIND OUT WHY NOT. MY CAR CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A TAKATA RECALL ACCORDING TO WEBSITE. POSSIBLE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION WITH 67,000 MILES ON IT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS PRIOR YEARS ENGINES WITH COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE HEAD. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENGINE AS A RESULT. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD ANOTHER CAR - EXACT SAME AS MINE - WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE CAR WASN'T STARTING AND WAS RUNNING ROUGHLY, WITH LIQUID SWOOSHING AROUND IN THE CAR.

'TAKATA RECALL' ON 6 FEB 2019, MY SON WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER DRIVER CAUSING HIM TO HYDROPLANE OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND THROUGH A DITCH, MAKING CONTACT WITH A TREE. THE FUSION SUFFERED MODERATE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END, AND UNDERCARRIAGE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED EVEN WITH THE FRONT END REMOVED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS TOTALING THE CAR MAKING MY WIFE AND I TO WONDER WHY OUR SON WAS NOT PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG? IT CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED GIVEN THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS IN OCTOBER OF 2018. IS THIS CASE STILL OPEN?

WHEN THE CAR IS COLD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD, FROM PARK TO REVERSE THEN TO ALL GEARS UNTIL WE GET TO THE CORRECT SPEED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (ABOUT 50000 MILES ON IT). THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO. WELL NOW IT HAS STARTED DOING IT MORE OFTEN EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS WARM. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF FUSIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION CORD AND STATED THAT THE GEARS FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 18V167000 (STEERING) AND 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. MAPLECREST FORD LINCOLN (2800 SPRINGFIELD AVE, VAUXHALL, NJ 07088, (908) 964-7700) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FUELING AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD FUSIONS. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAP LESS GAS FILLER WILL START VIBRATING AND RELIEVING PRESSURE FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS IS CAUSING THE CAR TO ACT LIKE IT IS MISFIRING AND RUN ROUGH. BEFORE I HAVE TIME TO PULL OFF THE BUSY CITY STREET THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND I'M LEFT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND MOVED TO A SAFE LOCATION. OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL THROW A 1450, 2196, OR 0131 CODE. THE MAIN CODE IS 1450 WHICH IS AN EVAP CODE. I'VE REPLACED THE CANISTER AND WILL BE REPLACING THE PURGE VALVE SOON. THESE VALVES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY CAN MALFUNCTION WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND POSE A SAFETY HAZARD.

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO START, PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR HELPS BUT THE ENGINE WILL STALL SUDDENLY WITHIN A FEW MILES OF THE FILL UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR STREET WITH 1/4-1/2 TANK OF FUEL. THIS STALL IS PRECEEDED BY A LOUD, DISONATE NOISE FROM THE FUEL FILLER. THERE IS WWW INFORMATION REGARDING FAILED PURGE VALVES, BUT MOST INFORMATION IS FOR EARLIER MODELS. THE FOCUS RECALL SEEMS IDENTICAL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAUTION TO STAY OFF THE ROAD AFTER FUELING TILL THE ENGINE IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. CODES CHECKED WITH ONLY ONE READING COMING UP -A YEAR AGO.

CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL AT LOW SPEEDS AND WOULD SHAKE AND SHUTTER UNTIL THE ENGINE QUIT. THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER WARM UP AND THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES. CAR WOULD RESTART AFTER HARD CRANKING AFTER MOVING GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK. THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AT STOP LIGHTS, IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ON THE STREET WHILE IN TRAFFIC. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY (PART # DS7Z 9E926C) AFTER VERIFYING CODE FROM ELECTRONIC ANALYSIS.

I WAS IN THE ABOUT TO TAKE MY WIFE TO WORK, I APPLIED THE BRAKES WENT TO SHIFT GEAR AND THE CAR GOT STUCK IN REVERSE I TRIED TO SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND I GOT MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK' SO APPLIED THE PARK BRAKE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR.

CAR STALLS WHEN STARTING OUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS FAULTY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED MANY TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN. THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MEDFORD FORD (186 NJ-70, MEDFORD, NJ 08055, (888) 508-9703), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,319.

SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, IT OCCASIONALLY SPUTTERS TO A STOP WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ONCE OR TWICE, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. EVENTUALLY, ON THE THIRD OR FORTH ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE RUNS FINE WITHOUT TROUBLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ABOUT ONCE EVERY FOUR TO SIX WEEKS. OTHER OWNERS REPORT THE ENGINE DYING WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM PARKED, RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, OR WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM, SO FAR.

AS I WAS DRIVING OVER 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DOOR AJAR ALERT APPEARED. AT THAT POINT, I REALIZED THAT MY SONS FRIEND HAD OPENED THE DOOR OUT OF CURIOSITY. THE DOORS LOCK SIGNAL WAS RED WHICH MEANS IT WAS LOCKED HOWEVER HE WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THE NEXT DAY I CHECKED THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED ON RED, IT ONLY LOCKS FROM THE OUTSIDE AND ANY DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR CAN BE OPENED REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. I TRIED THIS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN THE PARKING LOT. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FOR THE TIME BEING, I HAVE PLACED THE CHILD LOCK ON THE REAR DOORS, HOWEVER THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN I LOCK THE DOOR AND IT IS RED, IT SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THROUGH THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.

SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND FAILS TO EXTEND. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO EXISTING NHTSA ID 10109079 BASED ON MY VIN. THIS HAPPENED TO BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND IT PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM HAVING A FULL RANGE OF MOTION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AND IN ONE CASE PREVENTED MY WIFE FROM BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY EXIT THE VEHICLE TRAPPING HER INSIDE FOR A WHILE. A DRIVER BEING UNCOMFORTABLY RESTRAINED AND LACKING FULL RANGE OF MOTION WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE IS, IN BOTH OF OUR OPINIONS, A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS NOT ONLY A DISTRACTION BUT PHYSICALLY IMPAIRS THE DRIVER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN I MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REQUESTED REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY THEY DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF THE TSB/NHTSA NOTICE ON THIS AND REFUSED REPAIR AND INSTEAD TOLD ME TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE MYSELF IN THE FORM OF "SPRAY IT WITH WD40" WITH NO FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. IN THE PROCESS OF "SPRAYING IT WITH WD40" I WAS INJURED BY A RETRACTOR COIL SPRING AS FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAD COVERED UP A MANUFACTURER WARNING LABEL CHANGING A CRITICAL "DO NOT REMOVE" WARNING GIVING INSTEAD THE OPPOSITE MEANING OF "REMOVE" WHICH LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THIS WAS THE SERVICEABLE COMPONENT I WAS MEANT TO "SPRAY WITH WD40". UPON OPENING IT THE RETRACTOR COIL SPRING THEN SHOT OUT AND STRUCK ME NEAR MY EYE SOCKET RESULTING IN POSSIBLE INJURY INDUCED MYOKYMIA. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT FORD HAVE FAILED AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN MOSTLY UNCOOPERATIVE ON THE ISSUE AND HAS DIRECTED ME TO FORD. I STILL REMAIN UNAWARE AS TO HOW THE WARNING ON THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WAS MODIFIED, WHY REPAIRS WERE REFUSED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN NOTIFIED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, AND WHY THE SAFETY ISSUE WAS IGNORED WHEN A TSB EXISTS THAT MAKES IT CLEAR FORD WAS AWARE SUCH SAFETY ISSUES EXIST WITH THEIR SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

ENGINE SPUTTERS, LOSES POWERS, AND STALLS. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AROUND 20-60 MINUTES AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN AND THEN IS ONCE AGAIN STARTED AND DRIVEN AGAIN. AFTER BEING PLACED IN GEAR AND DRIVEN A VERY SHORT DISTANCE (5-10 SECOND LOW SPEED TIME WISE) THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO EXHIBIT THE STALLING SYMPTOMS OF LOW RPM AND HESITATION AND ALL ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS WILL BEGIN TO MALFUNCTIONS, I.E. HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER, BRAKES WILL LOSE POWER, ACCELERATOR WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION EVEN IF DEPRESSED 100% AS CAR IS DRIVE BY WIRE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER AND NOT HAVING ALL CONTROL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONING AT 100% (THROTTLE, BRAKING, STEERING) ON ROADWAYS AND IN PARKING LOTS PLACES THE DRIVER, OTHER DRIVERS, AND ESPECIALLY PEDESTRIANS AT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH AS THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES POWER AND OTHERS ARE NOT EXPECTING THE VEHICLE TO ACT IN SUCH A MANNER AND MAY NOT REACT ACCORDINGLY. A PEDESTRIAN MAY NOT REACT PROPERLY TO A CAR THAT LACKS ITS NORMAL STOPPING POWER, ANOTHER VEHICLE MAY NOT STOP FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT ACCELERATING AS IT WAS AND IS EXPECTED, ETC. I WAS APPROACHED RANDOMLY AT A GAS STATION BY ANOTHER OWNER OF A SIMILAR FORD FUSION DESCRIBING THE SAME SYMPTOMS ASKING IF MY CAR DID THIS AND EXPLAINED TO HER THAT BASED ON MY RESEARCH SHE'S NOT ALONE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM. MANY DEALERS APPEAR TO BE ABLE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE/RESOLVE THE ISSUE, AND MY 2 ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT A DEALER TO OBTAIN SERVICE FOR THE PROBLEM HAVE RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP NOT RESPONDING TO THE ONLINE SERVICE REQUEST FORM. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 4 STALLING EVENTS NOW AND AM UNABLE TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICES AS DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO MY MAINTENANCE REQUESTS. I HAVE FOOTAGE SAVED OF THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING AND VEHICLE STALLING IN A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED.

IF I CRANK THE CAR SOON AFTER CUTTING IT OFF, (WHILE IT'S STILL WARM) ENGINE SPUTTERS THEN QUITS, AS IF IT ISN'T GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. SO WHEN GETTING GAS, I HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDAL OR ENGINE QUITS. AS SOON AS I START PUMPING, THE ENGINE STARTS CHOKING. I CAN'T TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE PUMPING GAS BECAUSE IT WON'T STAY CRANKED ONCE I TRY TO DRIVE AWAY UNLESS I REV THE RPM'S UP REALLY HIGH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. AND NOW WHITE SMOKE BILLOWS OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE WHEN IT'S CRANKED. SECOND PROBLEM....ELECTRICAL. SOME OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS, SUCH AS CRUISE AND HANDS-FREE CALLING STOP WORKING OVER TIME. THIRD PROBLEM.... FRONT CV JOINTS WEAR OUT WAY TOO SOON. I HEARD OF A RECALL ON THE NEWS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE MY ENGINE ISSUE, BUT NOW I CAN'T LOCATE THE RECALL ANYWHERE. THEY EVEN TOOK IT OFF OF THE NEWS CHANNEL'S WEBSITE. DURING THE BROADCAST, THEY SAID THE RECALL WOULD BEGIN DECEMBER 10TH. WHAT HAPPENED??? DID FORD CHANGE ITS MIND? SURE WOULD HELP ME OUT! I'M ENTERING THE OCCURRENCE DATE 1/1/17, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WELL OVER ONE YEAR, MAYBE 2.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. MAC HAIK FORD PASADENA (4242 EAST SAM HOUSTON PKWY S, PASADENA, TX 77505, (281) 604-3673) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TAKATA RECALL I CURRENTLY OWN A 2015 FORD FUSION SE 2.0L TURBO AS THE MILEAGE HAS INCREASED I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE PURGE VALE, AS I HAVE HAVING TROUBLING STARTING MY CAR AFTER I PUT GAS IN IT ALONG WITH STALLING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I CAME UPON ARTICLES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME MODEL CAR WITH THE SAME PURGE VALVE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR THAT HAS DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARDS

FILLED UP CAR W/ GAS, CAR SPUTTERED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. CAR SHUT OFF BUT POWER STAYED ON. TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN, & IT SPUTTERED AGAIN. I THEN PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR TO GIVE GAS, AND CAR SPUTTERED AS I LET OFF, THEN DIED, BUT STILL HAD POWER. STARTED CAR FOR 3RD TIME, AND IT CONTINUED TO SPUTTER, I PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR, AND PUT IN DRIVE, AND AS I DROVE ABOUT 20 METERS, THE CAR SEEMED TO STILL SPUTTER. ONCE I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, AND GET UP TO 30 TO 40 MPH, THE CAR RAN FINE. CAR STARTED FINE THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT THEN IN THE EVENING IT DID IT AGAIN. I HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON DUE TO BEING ON A MAIN ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACELLERATE AND STARTED SPUTTERING AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO HAS CAME ON DURING THIS PROCESS. I HAVE TAKEN INTO AUTO SHOP AND IT READS THAT FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR NEEDS REPLACED: CODE P0087 FUEL RAIL/SYSTEM PRESSURE - TOO LOW P2196 02 SENSOR SIGNAL STUCK RICH BANK 1 SENSOR 1 P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM. WITH THE VEHICLE BEING WELL MAINTAINED AND BEING LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION DUE TO BEING VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHEN THE SPUTTERING OF THE CAR WILL HAPPEN.

VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY IDLES ROUGH AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. RESTARTS FINE, SOMETIMES NOT DOING IT AGAIN FOR DAYS AND SOMETIMES DOING THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE SAME TRIP. USUALLY OCCURS UNDER 40 MPH, AND IS REALLY BECOMING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. 28,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT, SERVICE REQUESTED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO (RUB FORD INC, 219 LIBERTY ST, GARDNER, IL 60424, (818)-237-2901) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT AN INVESTIGATION WOULD BE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,810.

NHTSA RECALL 18V-592. FORD RECALL 18S24. CONVENIENCE CHARGE CORD REPLACEMENT. FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A TIMELY RESOLUTION TO THIS RECALL AND HAS NOT PROVIDED A REASONABLE/PRACTICAL TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO CHARGING MY VEHICLE WITH A REPLACEMENT CORD THAT IS AVAILABLE, WITH A DIFFERENT PART # THAN MY CURRENT CORD. THE PART IS AVAILABLE BUT WOULD NOT BE HONORED UNDER THIS RECALL. THAT PART # IS HS7210B706A. IF THIS CHARGING CABLE IS AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR, THEN WHY CAN'T IT BE PROVIDED AT NO COST UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT CORD IS PROVIDED AT WHICH TIME, I CAN RETURN PART # HS7210B706A? PLEASE ADVISE THE BEST WAY TO PROCEED WITH OBTAINING A TEMPORARY CORD FOR CHARGING MY ELECTRIC VEHICLE OR AUTHORIZE OBTAINING PART #HS7210B706A AT NO COST.

MY CAR HAS 109,227 MILES ON IT. AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD AND DELAYING. THIS IS MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SOMETIMES ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO GEAR. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ON THE INTERNET. IN A CAR THIS NEW STILL SHOULD HAVE NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE SO SOON. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. FROM HIGHWAY TO CITY. AND EVEN WHEN DOING 50 AND SPEEDING UP TO 70 IT STILL SHIFTS HARD.

TAKATA RECALL INVOLVING THE AIR BAG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEED INTERVALS. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND A SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOB BELL FORD (LOCATED AT 1230 BEL AIR RD, BEL AIR, MD 21014, (410) 879-2544) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOLENOID BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO PLAZA FORD (LOCATED AT 1701 BEL AIR RD, BEL AIR, MD 21014, (410) 838-3100) TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,033.

AFTER DRIVING SOME DISTANCE (20-30 MINUTES, 15-20 MILES) AND STOPPING FOR A SHORT BREAK (5-10 MINUTES) TO GROCERY SHOP, GET TAKE-OUT, ETC. STARTING THE CAR UP AGAIN AND GOING - IT STALLS. POWER STAYS ON, BUT ENGINE FLUCTUATES RPM IN A LUNGING FASHION BEFORE PUTTERING OUT. CAR CAN RESTART WITH STRAIN ON THE STARTER BUT WILL DO THE SAME THING AGAIN EVEN IF LEFT IDLING IN PARK AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO CRANK IT, LET THE ENGINE SETTLE FOR 5 SECONDS, PUT IN GEAR, LET SETTLE AGAIN, THEN GAIN RPMS FAIRLY QUICKLY WITH A HEAVY ACCELERATION. ONCE IT SHIFTS GEARS THE FIRST TIME IT SEEMS TO BEHAVE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, IT WAS STILL UNDER 30 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY WHEN CAR WAS SPUTTERING BADLY AT STANDING IDLE, DRIVING OR IN PARK AND EVEN LOST POWER. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2 AND CHANGED PLUGS AND COIL, HAD TO USE DEALER PARTS BECAUSE CAR REFUSED AFTER MARKET THAT SHOP WAS USING PER WARRANTY COMPANY. TOOK CAR HOME AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS CAR DID SAME THING SPUTTERING EVERY MORNING AND LOSS OF POWER TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SAID DIAGNOSTICS SHOWS THAT IT HAD LOST POWER BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING THEY COULD FIX. TOOK IT HOME ANOTHER FEW WEEKS/MONTH WENT BY AND SPUTTERING WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP AGAIN MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2, MECHANICS CHANGED PLUGS AGAIN. A MONTH LATER ENGINE SPUTTERING STARTED AGAIN AND LOSS OF POWER TO CHARGER PORTS IN VEHICLE, LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WAITED OVER NIGHT TO TAKE IT TO BE SERVICED AT LUNCH BREAK FROM WORK, ON THE WAY TO WORK COOLANT LIGHT FLASHES ON SAYING OVERHEATED FOR ENGINE TEMPERATURE, TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP MISFIRE CYLINDER 2 AGAIN AND SHOP WAS BAFFLED ABOUT LOW COOLANT LEVEL POURED A GALLON OF COOLANT INTO VEHICLE DID BLOCK TEST AND PRESSURE TESTS THEY CAN FIND NOTHING, FRIEND MECHANIC SAYS WITH CODES HE HAS GOTTEN AND HIS EXPERIENCE/ KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE HAS TO BE A GASKET LEAK LETTING COOLANT INTO ENGINE. HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE END OF JULY 2018

THERE IS AN OIL LEAK AT 67,000 MILES. IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT FIRESTONE.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPER WOULD DRAG AND STICK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE DEALER TO DO SOMETHIING, BUT ALL I GOT WAS FORD KNEW ABOUT BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM!! MY DRIVER'S SIDE BLADE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VIEW..I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN A RAIN/SNOW TO PROVE TO THEM THERE WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG!! A MECHANIC CAME OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND FINALLY DECIDED IT WAS THE WIPER MOTOR. THEY ORDERED ME ONE. IT CAME IN THE NEXT DAY. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FROM AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR FOR SAME DAY. WHEN I ARRIVED THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE VERY BUSY AND WOULDN'T GET THE CARS FIXED THAT WAS ALREADY. IT WAS FIXED THAT AFTERNOON. THEY ALWAYS HAD AN EXCUSE FOR NOT FIXING MY WIPER PROBLEM. I FEEL MY TIME IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THEIRS. MY HUSBAND HAD JUST HAD SURGERY AND I AM THE ONLY ONE HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. I HAD TO LEAVE HIM ALONE TO GO GET MY 2015 FUSION REPAIRED. I HOPE FORD WILL ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS WIPER PROBLEM SO I CAN GET MY $100 DEDUCTIBLE ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BACK. THIS HAPPENED ON APPROX 4/2018

WAS REAR ENDED TURNING OFF MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY BY AN F350 AND A VAN HIT THE TRUCK THAT HIT ME, HE WAS GOING AT LEAST 50 MILES AN HOUR WHEN HE HIT ME FELT LIKE HE SHOVED ME SO HARD I WAS AIRBORNE!!! NO AIRBAG WENT OFF WHICH THE OFFICER WHO WAS ON A WITNESS TO THE ACCIDENT AND THEN STOPPED AND MADE SURE EVERYONE WAS OK !! MY BODY STILL HURTS !!

THE CAR JERKS DURING SHIFTING ON CITY STREETS, ALL TIMES OF DAY, ALL ROAD CONDITIONS.

WHEN I PARK OR DRIVE MY TRANSMISSION JUMP I BE TO THE FOR DEALER BUT THEY DONT HAVE GUY TO CHECK IT

TAKATA RECALL

SHIFTER BUSHING CABLE - THIS PART BROKE OFF FROM MY VEHICLE BACK IN JULY. THE BUSHING CONNECTS SHIFTER ARM TO TRANSMISSION. WITHOUT THIS PIECE, MY VEHICLE NEEDS ASSISTANCE TO COMPLETE EVERY SINGLE SHIFT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM PARK TO DRIVE, I HAVE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE, OPEN THE HOOD, PLACE THE SHIFTER DOWN ON THE TRANSMISSION ARM, THEN SHIFT THE CART. TO GO FROM DRIVE TO PARK, I HAVE TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK, GET OUT OF THE CAR, POP THE HOOD, REATTACH THE SHIFTER ARM, THEN SHIFT THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE JULY 2018 WITH NO NOTICE FROM FORD ON WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS SPECIFIC PART IS NOT SOLD ON THE AFTERMARKET EITHER, MEANING THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO FIX MY CAR AND THUS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT ALL OF THIS SHIFTING AND OPENING AND CLOSING OF MY HOOD IS CAUSING LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE CAR (THAT FORD WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT FIX). I HAVE CALLED FORD OVER 8 TIMES TO COMPLAIN AND HAVE RECEIVED NO ETA ON PARTS, NO OTHER WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE, NOR ANY COMPENSATION/HELP TOWARDS ME BEING ABLE TO USE MY CAR. RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JULY 20TH, 2018; OVER 3 MONTHS LATER, NO REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN PROVIDED.

WHEN IN DRIVE THE CAR JERKS VERY HARD WHENEVER IT SWITCHES GEARS ALSO THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE FORCING ME TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON TO TRY IT AGAIN.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE LINE IN 2017 DUE TO A LEAK. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, JULY 2018, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BRAKE LINE DUE TO A LEAK. I REALIZED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WHEN I WAS DRIVING & THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ONLY AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES DID THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT COME ON AFTER EACH OCCURRENCE. I HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER LAST WEEK FOR A RECALL REPAIR AND OVERHEAR ANOTHER CUSTOMER WITH A 2015 FUSION SAY SHE HAD A BRAKE LINE LEAK.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE INDICATES CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. OIL CHANGED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS. CAR IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 100 MILES PER MONTH. INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.

I RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ON TAKATA AIRBAG

AFTER TAKING MY 2015 FORD FUSION FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND OTHER RECALLS THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH WITH NO RENTAL PROVIDED WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT BACK FROM THE SPEED OF 15 TO 30 THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING MAKING NOISES AND COULD FEEL THE VIBRATION FROM IT AND 55 AND UP IT JUST GETS WORSE.

"TAKATA RECALL" IN ADDITION TO THIS RECALL, I HAVE 2 OUTSTANDING RECALLS WITH A REFUSAL TO WORK ON A MISFIRE AND ENGINE ISSUES. MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING ON THE ROAD, MISFIRING WITH NO WARNING, AND NO INFORMATION ON THESE COMMON ENGINE FAILURES WAS GIVEN TO ME. NO PROOF HAS BEEN GIVEN OF ISSUES AND AM BEING FORCED INTO PURCHASING A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED ALL HELP AND HAVE BEEN WAITING ABOUT A MONTH FOR ANSWERS.

AWHILE BACK THE CAR STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES, THAT CAME FROM THE FUEL INLET BEHIND THE GAS DOOR, SOUNDING LIKE PRESSURE ESCAPING. PRESSING THE DOOR IN (CAPLESS FUEL TANK) CONFIRMS THIS, AS THE VACUUM IS RELEASED. CAR IDLES ROUGH, AND IN SOME CASES, AFTER REFUELING, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO QUITE A FEW FUSION OWNERS, WITH VIDEOS AND FORUMS POSTS TO VERIFY. FORD CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW OF THE ISSUE, BUT JUST TODAY ISSUED A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM FOR THE FOCUS MODEL CARS. IT IS THE 2.0L TURBO OR NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES, AND I HAVE THE 2.0L TURBO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTS OF CARS STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY, WITH A P1450 CODE.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE CUTTING OUT DURING ACCELERATION. IT HAS BECOME DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE ECOBOOST ENGINE. FORD IS NOT TELLING ALL ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO THE ROADWAY.

MY 2015/FORD FUSION IS HALTED IN NEUTRAL BUT THE GEARSHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND I CAN'T MOVE IT. IT HAPPENED AFTER I PULLED INTO MY PARKING SPOT AND SHIFTED THE GEARSHIFT TO PARK. I NOTICED THE LIGHT INDICATOR DID NOT GO TO P BUT RATHER STAYED AT N AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STARTED MOVING. I HAVE MY VEHICLE'S EMERGENCY BRAKE ON IN ORDER TO PREVENT IT FROM MOVING BUT DUE TO THE TIME OF DAY FORDS IN MY AREA ARE CLOSED AND CANNOT OFFER HELP. MY VEHICLE DOES HAVE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND I ATTEMPTED TO GET IT FIXED IN AUGUST ALONG WITH ANOTHER RECALL BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WERE BACKED UP ON THE PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS.

DRIVING STEERING ELETRIC WENT OUT WITH OUT ANY WARNING KINGSPORT TN TOOK IT TO FORD THEY TOLD US WHAT WRONG

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. I COASTED AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE TO THE RIGHT LANE AS SOON AS I HAD A 'STOP SAFELY NOW' MESSAGE BLINK ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON BUT COULDN'T. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME JERK MOVEMENT AND LIGHT COME ON. I COASTED ONCE AGAIN TO THE FURTHEST RIGHT LANE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ONCE MORE TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER ANOTHER SHORT LIVED TAKE OFF I COASTED TO A PARKING LOT.

SAFETY RECALL 18S20 / 18V471 2015 FORD FUSION W/ 60,000 MILES. AS I BEGAN ARRIVED HOME AND PLANNED TO BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY I PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, HOWEVER, THE CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE AND SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN GEAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK BUT THE CAR ISN'T ACTUALLY IN PARK & I MUST HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START BECAUSE IT APPARENTLY IS STUCK IN GEAR ALTHOUGH AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, IT SHOWS TO BE IN PARK. ALSO, THE SHIFTER WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL NOW. FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. WORST PART IS THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR BUT HAVE NO EXACT TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION...WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO???

I DID GET THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE VEHICLE, TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND HE EXPLAINED ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRESSURE WHICH I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND. SO I CALLED FORD BACK AND INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE AND ASKED THEM TO HELP ME WITH IT.

SO NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THESE CORD.

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHEN IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET AT A BRAKING SPEED OF ABOUT 5 MPH. I HAD NO STEERING CONTROL AND HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER, ON IN TRAFFIC, OR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH IT WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN CATASTROPIC. IN APRIL 2018 I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP COMPLAINING OF A FREQUENT BUT INCONSTANT "ROAR" COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. AFTER TESTING NOTHING WAS FOUND. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME "ROAR" A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER. WHEN I LOST STEERING CONTROL I TRIED SHIFTING GEARS FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND GOT A VERY SHORT WHEEL RESPONSE, BUT LOST IT WITHIN 3 SECONDS. I PURSUED THIS REPETITIVE PROCESS AND, AFTER A DOZEN ATTEMPTS FINALLY GOT THE CAR OFF THE ROAD.

RECALL # 18S20: HELLO THERE MY SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING WHICH HAS BEEN NAMED IN A RECALL FAILED LAST THURSDAY. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR GOT STUCK IN PARK, HOWEVER THE CAR WAS ROLLING AND THE DISPLAY SAID THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SURE ENOUGH THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS VISIBLE AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I GOOGLED A PICTURE OF THE PART JUST TO CONFIRM AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WHITE PIECES AND CORROSION THAT WERE LEFT BEHIND WERE REMNANTS OF THE CABLE BUSHING WHICH LOOKS LIKE A WHITE BEAD. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 18S20 AND THE NOTICE INSTRUCTS ME TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. I CONTACTED TWO LOCAL FORD DEALERS AS INSTRUCTED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN ITS AVAILABLE AND THE HAVE NO ETA ON PART AVAILABILITY, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE WHILE I AM WAITING. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN AND I HAVE TO WORK AND CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL AND THERE ARE NO LOANER CARS BEING OFFERED.

LEFT REAR DOOR OF A 2015 FUSION,( 21,000 MILES) SWUNG OPEN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM ONE CITY STREET TO ANOTHER CITY STREET. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS SITTING IN REAR SEAT BY THAT DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT IS TO BE DETERMINED IF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. FROM ONLINE SEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS A SERIOUS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES

I WAS NOTIFIED OF RECALL 18S20 FOR MY FOR FUSION AROUND MID AUGUST. ON AUGUST 29, AFTER GETTING GAS THE SHIFTER WOULD SHIFT TO DRIVE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL AND THEREFORE WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MANUALLY SHIFT BY TINKERING WITH THE ENGINE SHIFT, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND DROVE TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD IN RICHARDSON TEXAS. THERE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE RECALL ISSUE BUT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO FIX IT OR HELP US BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE GO AHEAD FORM FORD MOTOR COMPANY OR THE PARTS. HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT IF WE PAID FULL PRICE TO FIX IT, $700 DOLLARS, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX IT FOR US AND WHEN FORD APPROVED THE FIX THEN WE WOULD BE REIMBURSED. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE $700, SO THE MANAGER JIM AYO EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF WAGES FOR A FULL DAY'S JOB AND A CAR THAT IS NOT RUNNING OR USABLE. I AM BAFFLED AT THE FACT THAT IT IS A FORD ISSUE FROM A RECALL BUT I AM EXPECTED TO FIX IT. THE APPROXIMATE FIX TIMEFRAME IS JULY 2018 OR AFTER.

THE SHIFTER ON MY CAR READS PARK BUT THE ACTUAL GEAR IT IS IN IS NEUTRAL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SUPREME FORD IN SLIDELL, BUT WAS TOLD THE PARTY'S TO FIX THE RECALL WEREN'T IN. I THEN CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BEFORE GETTING THE RECALL FIXED ON MY VEHICLE. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS IN PARK ONE NIGHT AND IT ENDED UP ROLLING INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY BY THE TIME I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING.

ON AUG 15, 2018 MY CAR'S SHIFTER BECAME STUCK ON THE PARK POSITION HOWEVER THE NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH BOARD STATED 'TRANSMISSION NOT ON PARK.' I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DAVID W. WILSON'S VILLAFORD ON AUG 16, 2018 AT 9:56AM. THE DEARLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE MY CAR DIAGNOSED AND IF IT WAS THE RECALLED PART THEN THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHAT OPTIONS I HAD.

THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT FORD WAS NOT GOING TO COVER ANYTHING FOR THIS RECALL YET AND BECAUSE OF THIS I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL OR TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH PER FORD HEADQUARTERS, THERE IS STILL NO REPLACEMENT FOR THE RECALLED PART YET. FORD HEADQUARTERS STATED THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE RECALLED PART BUT THEY ARE NOT YET COVERING THE RECALL SO THE ONLY OPTION FOR ME WOULDN'T BE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR OUT OF POCKET AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVED I COULD GET MY CAR FIXED (HOWEVER ANY FEES FOR THE RENTAL WOULD NOT BE COVERED).

THE BUCKLE ON THE CENTER REAR SEAT STRAP IS INSTALLED BACKWARDS CAUSING IT TO BE TWISTED WHEN BUCKLED. IT WILL NOT UNTWIST. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTY HAZZARD AS SEAT BELTS WORN INCORRECTLY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL ORGANS WHEN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS RENDERED MY MIDLE REAR SEAT UNSAFE TO USE.

WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER REMOVED THE PARKING BREAK THE CAR WAS STILL OUT OF GEAR AND THE OPEN DOOR KNOCKED HIM OFF BALANCE. THE FORD DEALER FOUND THAT THE BUSHING ON THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS MISSING, AND THE WHOLE SHIFTER CABLE AND BUSHING HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE PARTS PUT ON MY VEHICLE ARE GOING TO LAST. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT IN EFFECT YET, BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. I PAID FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET. I DID NOT RECEIVE A SAFETY NOTICE AS STATED IN THE NHTSA RECALL #18V-471 REPORT. I BELIEVE THAT FORD IS VERY NEGLIGENT IN NOTIFICATIONS TO THE OWNERS OF THERE VEHICLES. A LETTER TO OWNERS AS STATED IN THE ABOVE REPORT "DESCRIPTION OF REMEDY PROGRAM" IS A SIMPLE THING TO HAVE ISSUED SO PEOPLE ARE SAFE, BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE; I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE SOON SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL RECALL AND I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING BOX REPLACED ALSO.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE MISFIRES DECREASE IN POWER AND COMPLETELY STOPS ACCELERATION. IT ALSO USES A GREAT DEAL OF FUEL. THE COOLANT CONSTANTLY LEAKS OUT AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATS EVERY FEW MINUTES. THE CAR ALSO OVERHEATS WHEN SITTING IN A PARKED POSITION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SLOWED TO 25MPH. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE DISPLAY IN THE DASHBOARD SHOWS THE MESSAGE "TEMPORARY LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIMATE SYSTEM", AND LOCKS THE WINDOWS, THE VENTS STOP WORKING, NO AIR IS COMING THROUGH. IN ADDITION, THE CROSS TRAFFIC WARNING STOPS WORKING, AS WELL.

THE SHIFTER CABLE FAILED TO ENGAGE AND MY CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE AND BEGAN BACKING UP WHILE GEAR SAID IT WAS IN PARK. I TURNED CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NO LONGER CRANK BECAUSE GEAR WAS SHOWING IN REVERSE. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP REGARDING RECALL AND THEY SAID I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. RECALL NUMBER IS 18V471

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HARROLD FORD (1535 HOWE AVE, SACRAMENTO, CA 95825, (877) 514-2833) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,666. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR WAS PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE BUSHING CABLE BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO WAS TOLD BY THE SPECIALTY GROUP AT FORD THAT IT WAS NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS UPFRONT UNTIL IT BECAME A LEGITIMATE RECALL AND THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I EVEN HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE COST WOULD BE COVERED BY FORD SINCE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL BUT NOW AFTER SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE NOR IS THE RENTAL CAR THAT I AM HAVING TO USE SINCE MY CAR IS DOWN DUE TO THE RECALL. I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING GOING OUT BUT THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO FORD NOT HAVING THE BUSHING OR THE SHIFTER CABLE TO FIX MY CAR EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, I WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THEN THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME ONCE IT BECAME AN ACTUAL RECALL. I AM NOT REFUSING THE REPAIRS BUT CAN NOT WAIT A MONTH FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN NOR CAN I AFFORD A BILL FOR OVER $500 THAT WAS PART OF A RECALL THAT FORD ISSUED BUT IS NOW SAYING IS NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I AM GOING TO GO GET MY CAR AND HAVE A MORE RELIABLE FIGURE FIX MY CAR AND PROCEED FROM THERE. ALSO NOW I AM OUT A TOW BILL AND $35 FOR 3 DAYS ON A RENTAL SINCE FORD DID NOT DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO STATED ON THEIR DECLAIMER THAT DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER EXCEPT THIS CUSTOMER. THIS WAS ON THEIR FORD MEDIA WEBSITE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED.

AFTER THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO ANY GEAR. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE ENGAGED. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V417000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE DEALER (MCLARTY DANIEL FORD, 2609 S WALTON BOULEVARD, BENTONVILLE, AR 72712) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

RECALL NUMBER:18S20 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:18V471 ON JULY 20,2018 APPROXIMATELY 3:45AM I PULLED IN A PARKING LOT I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS ALMOST RUNNING OVER MY FOOT AS I WAS EXITING MY VEHICLE , I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED BACK INSIDE TERRIFIED AND HELD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE HAVING AN PANIC ATTACK. I SAT FOR HOURS HOLDING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE I COULDN'T BREATHE AND COULDN'T THINK WHEN I FINALLY COULD CATCH MY BREATH AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALL ATTEMPTS I FINALLY GOT A RELATIVE ON THE PHONE AND ASKED WHAT TO DO, THEY SUGGESTED PUTTING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON UNTIL I COULD CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP WHICH DIDN'T OPEN UNTIL 9:30AM. AFTER TESTING I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL SAYING THE BUSHINGS THAT ATTACH THE SHIFTER CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION HAD DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE IN PARK BUT STUCK IN REVERSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS WITHOUT ME KNOWING BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IN PARK AND THERE'S NO SIGN OF ME KNOWING IT'S STUCK IN REVERSE EXCEPT WHEN IT STARTED TO ROLL AWAY AND ALMOST OVER ME AS I WAS GETTING OUT. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN BIG INCONVENIENCE FOR ME THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO MISS WORK FROM 7/20/2018-7/24/2018 BECAUSE I HAD NO TRANSPORTATION TO WORK (MY COMMUTE TO WORK IS 1.5 HOURS), MY SON WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO CHILDCARE,ECT. AND FORD HAS OFFERED ME NO HELP BECAUSE THEY SAY THE REPLACEMENT BUSHINGS AREN'T EVEN IN PRODUCTION YET. FORD IS TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE RECALL IS NOT ACTIVE YET SO NOW I HAVE TO LOSE MY JOB, ONLY INCOME, MY BILLS HAVE BECOME DELINQUENT DUE TO ME NOT HAVING TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND FORD SHOULD NOT TREAT CUSTOMERS THIS WAY AND SHOULD ACCOMMODATE ME UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER IM PAYING MONEY FOR A CAR AND I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION.

DEAD BATTERY AND NOW HAVE ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING ASSIST!

2015 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING WHEEL SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEYS TO THE VEHICLE WERE STOLEN AND REQUESTED INFORMATION ON HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. *JS

I INITIALLY CALLED ON 724/2018, INCIDENT# 1256726. I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK, BUT CAR THOUGHT IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (MANUFACTURER RECALL#18S20). I ALSO REACHED OUT TO FORD MOTORS, WHO ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL CAR DIAGNOSED AND SEE WHAT REALLY CAUSED THE ISSUE. PER THE AUTONATION FORD DEALERSHIP THAT WORKED ON MY CAR, IT WASN'T THE EXACT SAME CAUSE AS THE RECALL, BUT THE EFFECT WAS THE SAME THAT THE CAR NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WAS ACTUALLY PLACED IN... GEAR SHIFT STOPPED WORKING, BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, THEN ENGINE WOULDN'T START, AS CAR ALREADY THOUGHT IT WAS IN DRIVE. FORD ADVISED IF ISSUE NOT CAUSED BY WHATS IN RECALL THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. MY RESPONSE WAS "IF SOMETHING ELSE CAUSED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO COVER MORE THAN JUST ONE CABLE. SEEMS LIKE FORD AGREED, BECAUSE THEY FIXED THE ISSUE FOR FREE. PAPERWORK SAYS ISSUE WAS "CABLE ASSEMBLY- SELECTOR LEVER. SHIFTER CABLE WAS REPLACED. I THEN CALLED FORD MOTOTRS THE NEXT DAY TO FOLLOW-UP ON MY PREVIOUS CALL... I WAS ADVISED THAT PART FOR THE RECALL WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER, WHICH IS A VERY LONG TIME FOR AN UNSAFE CAR. MY ISSUE IS THIS IS MY 2ND RECALL, AND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS. I ADVISED FORD MOTORS I FELT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE. REP ASKED ME "WHAT DO YOU WANT"... I ADVISED I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK POSSIBLE TRADE-IN FOR A SAFER CAR, AND THIS CAR, NOR ANY CAR WITH 2 RECALLS SHOULD STILL BE ON ROAD. REP THEN GIVES ME THE PHONE NUMBER AND PHONE OPTION TO REACH THE "BUYBACK/TRADE-IN REQUEST PROGRAM" PHONE NUMBER WAS 800-392-3673, OPTION 1, OPTION 4, THEN OPTION 5. SHE ADVISED I NEEDED MY VIN, THEN IT WOULD ASK FOR MY MILEAGE. OPTION 1 WAS ENGLISH, 4 WAS FOR RECALLS, AND 5 WAS TO REPEAT THOSE OPTIONS AGAIN. I CALLED BACK 6 MORE TIMES, AND TRIED DIFFERENT OPTIONS UNSUCCESSFULLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. LARSON FORD (1150 OCEAN AVE, LAKEWOOD, NJ 08701, (888) 318-8974) WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN).

MY 2015 FORD FUSION HAS DIFFICULTY CHANGING GEARS WHILE DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND, THEN SECOND TO THIRD. ALSO, ROUGH SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS WHEN I MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND THE CAR DID NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. I PUT IT BACK INTO PARK, THEN INTO REVERSE AGAIN AND IT SHIFTED. I DRIVE IT HOME, VERY SLOWLY, AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. FORD CORPORATE IS INVOLVED, AFTER FOUR MONTHS OF ME ASKING FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND THEY HAVE NOT INFORMED ME OF A CONCLUSIVE DECISION ON WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AND HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD CORPORATE SO MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR ISN'T GENERATING ANY CODES, AND THEY HAVE, SO FAR, REFUSED TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION AND ASSOCIATED PARTS IN THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAWS IN MY STATE BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED IT AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A REPUTABLE DEALER. IN DEALING WITH THIS DEALERSHIP, I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THE DEALER IS WORTHLESS AND SHADY. I'M WORKING WITH ANOTHER DEALER NOW, AND THEY SEEM TO BE A BIT BETTER. FORD CORPORATE IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES WITH THIS DEATHTRAP THEY SOLD ME, AND I'M STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FIVE TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL ITEMS, BUT THE CAR DRIVES MORE ROUGHLY AFTER EVERY "REPAIR" ATTEMPT. I WANT OUT OF THIS DEATHTRAP, AND I WANT FORD TO GIVE ME ALL OF MY MONEY BACK THAT I PAID FOR IT. WORD TO THE WISE, DON'T EVER BUY A FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION ENERGI. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING SOUND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR (AC NORMALLY ON), WE WILL GET TO A FULL STOP FROM DRIVING (OVER ~40 MIN TRIPS)... WHETHER IN TRAFFIC ON A FREEWAY OR STOP SIGN... THE CARS CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT WILL FLASH & BEEP, AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NEITHER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR NOR THE GAS/HYBRID ENGINE WILL ENGAGE AND DRIVE. TURNING OFF AND ON THE CAR DOES NOT RESET IT... IT TAKES REPEAT EFFORT AND SEVERAL MINUTES (ONCE OVER 10 MINUTES) TO BE ABLE TO START UP. CAN'T IMAGINE IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON A FREEWAY AGAIN WITH A CHILD OR MY OTHER HALF IN THE CAR! SCARY! TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY LUCK DIAGNOSING OR FIXING THE ISSUE... WE NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE THIS IS INSANE. NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DOING IT AGAIN. FORD NOR ANY DEALER SHOP CAN HELP FIX THIS. THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE IT, THE ISSUE IS SPORADIC WHICH MAKES IT WORSE & MORE TERRIFYING TO EXPERIENCE. SO FAR 4 OCCURRENCES WITHIN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. ABOUT 10 + OVER THE 3 YEARS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THE LIGHTS ALWAYS RESET BY THE TIME WE MAKE IT TO A DEALER LOT. THEIR SYSTEMS CANNOT TROUBLE SHOOT ANYTHING AT THAT POINT! IT HAPPENED AGAIN RECENTLY WHEN PARKED FOR OVER AN HOUR, AFTER A 80 MILE DRIVE. WHEN WE WENT TO DRIVE HOME, IT WOULD NOT DRIVE/ACCELERATE. SAME BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT ISSUE WAS POPPING UP AGAIN. ALMOST HAD TO GET A TOW, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN AS THE DRIVER GOT TO US.

MY DAUGHTER AND SON WERE EXITING THE CAR FROM THE REAR SEAT AND MENTIONED THAT THE SEATBELTS WOULD NOT GO BACK. REAR RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT SIDE SEATBELTS ARE LOCKED AND WILL NOT RETRACT.

ON JULY 5TH WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T START. TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED AND THEN MANY WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND TRACTION CONTROL ON. AND TOLD O SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.I TRIED BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE BUT STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND UNABLE TO STEER. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AFTER 5 DAYS WAS CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THE HE POWER STEERING RACK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE BATTERY WAS BAD TOO. FOR A TOTAL COST OF $2600. FROM OTHER REPORTS ONLINE HIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH FUSIONS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE STEERING RACK BY MY MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. ONLY 42,000 MILES ON CAR WITH REGULAR DRIVING AND PARKED IN GARAGE WHEN NOT IN USE. VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS QUICKLY. IF I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE HAD NOT CONTROL AND MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CRASHED.

INITIAL FAILURE OF DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES ON FORD ESCAPE AND FUSION,YOU HAVE LET FORD GET AWAY WITH EXTENDING THE WARRENTY ON SEVERAL YEARS OF THIS DANGEROUS FAILURE BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING WHEN IT FAILS AND STARTS WORKING AGAIN AFTER SITTING AND RESTARTING. WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET WITH MULTIPLE LANES IT LOST ALMOST ALL POWER AND THEY CAR SLOWED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAN STRAND PEOPLE AND BE DANGEROUS TO THEM AND OTHERS NEARBY ON THE ROAD.MINE HAPPENED ON A 2015 FORD FUSION WITH NO WARNING.

ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOT I WENT OVER A BUMP AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ODOMETER IS AT APPROXIMATELY 44000. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS BUT I WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT THE DAY TIME AND I WANTED TO AVOID A DEER CROSSING THE ROAD, THE CAR STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT TURNED THE WHEEL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CAR HITS A TREE AND GOT TOTALLY DAMAGE. WHEN THE CAR HITS THE TREE, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT STAY INFLATED, BUT INSTEAD DEPLOYED DEFLATED.I WAS SERIOUSLY INJURIED AND GOT TRANSPORTED TO THE TRAUMA CENTER IN ATLANTA FOR EXAMINATION. THE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS COMPLAIN IS THAT MY CAR FORD FUSION 2015 IS ON RECALL BY FORD COMPANY. ON MAY 22/2018, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN THE CITY I LIVE TO FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE SAME DAY THE COMPANY CALLED ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE PICK UP. WHAT I DID. MY ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER THE WORK. SO, I DID NOT KNOW IF THE REAL PROBLEM IS FIXED. IF YES, WHY THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND I COULDN,T CONTROL THE CAR? BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, I OFTEN AVOID DEERS ON THE RAOD AND NOTHING HAPPENED. WHY THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT THIS TIME? AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE POLICE CAME AND THE RESCUE TEAM CAME TO THE PLACE AND THEY WILL MADE THE REPORTS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR CLAIMS. BUT I HAVE TO DO THIS TO THE OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION AGAINST FORD COMPANY. THIS WILL SAVE OTHER CITIZEN LIVE ON THE ROAD. THANKSTO BE TO THE GOD THAT I AM ALIVE. I GOT MINOR INJURIES ON MY ARMS BUT FEEL PAINS IN SOME PARTS OF MY BODY. THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED SOME PAIN KILLERS THA I AM USING NOW. THE EXAM DID NOT SHOW ANY INTERNAL PROBLEM BUT I HAVE TO BE MONITORIZED FOR EVENTUAL ISSUES. I AM A STUDENT I COULD NOT GO TO SCHOOL AT THIS MOMENT. THIS ISSUE IS SERIOUS AND NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THE CAR COULD NOT BE FIXED AND RUN. MY INSURANCE WILL DO THE REST BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE THE AMOUNT OF THE BILLS THAT GONNA COME OUT. SO, PLEASE, OFFICIALS, I NEED YOUR HELP. THA

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY FROM A 45 MINUTE DRIVE AT 70 MPH. BRAKES NEEDED MORE PRESSURE THAN NORMAL TO SLOW AND STOP THE CAR. ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AND WITHOUT APPLYING ANY ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE PEDAL BECAME SPONGEY AND MOVED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN, THIS TIME IT FELT OK. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND THE PEDAL CONTINUED TO DO THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I PULLED INTO A AUTO PARTS STORE AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, THE RESERVOIR WAS NOT SHOWING ANY FLUID. I PROCEEDED INTO THE STORE PURCHASED ADDITIONAL BRAKE FLUID AND TOPPED OFF THE BRAKE FLUID. UPON GETTING BACK IN THE VEHICLE I TRIED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT GET A FIRM PEDAL. I GOT BACK OUT OF THE CAR AND INSPECTED EACH OF THE WHEEL AREAS. UPON REACHING THE RIGHT FRONT I FOUND BRAKE FLUID RUNNING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THE FLEX LINE TO THE CALIPER HAD FAILED AND WAS SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND SUCKING AIR INTO THE SYSTEM WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THIS ENTIRE TIME THE CAR NEVER REPORTED HAVING ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WARNING LIGHT THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. ADDITIONALLY, THIS CAR ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT, THIS LINE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS SOON.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. THE CAR JUST SLOWED SUDDENLY. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE FORD COULD GET THE CODE TO SHOW UP. IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.

2015 FORD FUSION 'S' (EPAS) DEFECT. 50,200 MILES ON ODOMETER AT TIME OF OCCURRENCE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. FUSION'S 2.5L ENGINE (COLD) WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING AT REST FOR EIGHT HOURS. DISPLAY DEPICTED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, EVEN WITH (PROPER) JUMP. ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING WAS VERY BRIGHT. TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT BATTERY WAS "GOING BAD" AND TOLD OF $2086.00 FIX TO THE EPAS (ALONE). I WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY HAVING ANY STEERING ISSUES OR CONCERNS. NOTIFIED FORD INC. AND WAS ISSUED A "CAS" CASE NUMBER AND TOLD TO LOOK FOR AN EMAIL FROM THEM IN TWO DAYS WITH THEIR RESOLUTION DECISION, IF ANY. I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC. VEHICLE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND ALWAYS GARAGED. SEVERAL OF MY SERVICE VISITS WERE AT MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS, SO MAYBE THAT WILL HELP MY CASE. A TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR, ON A "GARAGE KEPT" THREE YEAR OLD CAR, WITH 50K MILES, ALBEIT OUT OF 3/36 WARRANTY, IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. LUCKILY, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WAS INJURED/KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. SADLY, FORD'S REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM WILL OBVIOUSLY COST LIVES DOWN THE ROAD, DUE TO EPAS FAILURE, NOT TO MENTION FUTURE SALES.

AFTER GETTING RECALL NOTICE, CALLED LOCAL DEALER OURISMAN FORD 3 TIMES TRYING TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR, EACH TIME BEING REFFERED TO A A "RECALL SPECIALIST" THAT EITHER GOES TO VOICE MAIL OR NEVER CALLS ME BACK. THEY WILL NOT SCHEDULE THE REPAIR

2015 FORD FUSION- AFTER SITTING FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON UNTIL MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE BATTERY IS GOOD. NO JUMP IS REQUIRED. VEHICLE WILL GO FROM NO POWER ON THE FIRST ATTEMPTED START TO MANAGING TO POWER ON WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WHILE IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SWITCH GEARS APPROPRIATELY. THE ENGINE WILL REV, PULL, AND THEN SWITCH GEARS VERY ROUGHLY. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT OCCURRENCE. MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS COMMON IN NEWER FORDS.

AFTER WIPERS HAVE BEEN RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES THEY START TO STUTTER AND SKIP. SOMETIMES THEY STOP HALFWAY DOWN THE WINDOW AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS GO TO PARK POSITION. FORD DEALER TELLS ME PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THEY CHANGED TO THE "EURO" WIPER A FEW YEARS AGO. PUTTING IN A NEW MOTOR WON'T HELP, SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHANGES ALL NEW 28" WIPERS TO 26 WHEN THEY DELIVER A CAR. MINE HAD 26" AND STILL HAS THE PROBLEM.

THE BRAKES OF MY CAR WENT COMPLETELY OUT. EVEN WHILE IN 'PARK,' THE CAR WOULD MOVE. IT WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING AT A VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED ON A CITY STREET AND WAS ABLE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TO GIVE IT A LOT OF GAS AS I'M STARTING IT FOR IT TO START. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK IT WOULD NOT IDLE SMOOTHLY IF I WAS AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE AROUND 1/4 TANK OF GAS. AGAIN, I'VE STARTED PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS WHILE I'M STOPPED TO KEEP THE IDLE SMOOTH. I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THE PURGE VALVE ASSEMBLY TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS DEVICE IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT WHEN IT COMES IN, WHENEVER THAT IS. HOWEVER I'M LEFT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 35MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS NOT LOW ON GAS. I HAD JUST UNDER 1/2 TANK. LUCKILY THERE WAS MINIMAL TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO START IT ONLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS AS SOON AS I HIT START. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN. I'M CONCERNED I'LL PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE WILL DIE. OR I'LL BE ON THE HIGHWAY JUST DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL DIE. IF EITHER OF THOSE OCCUR, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME OR MY KIDS.

WRENCH LIGHT IS ON ONCE I START THE CAR (STILL IN PARK) IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 50 FEET AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ONCE I HIT THE GAS TO ACCELERATE MY CAR DOES NOT GO FORWARD AND IF IT DOES IT WILL SLOWLY JUT FORWARD, REPEATS THIS ACTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ONCE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNS OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE SEPERATE TIMES ABOUT TWO TO THREE MONTHS APART EACH TIME. FORD CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. VERY SCARY TO TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR CAR IS GOING TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED (ABOUT 10 MPH) IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUT OFF. AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS STALLING OR JUTTING FORWARD, AND THEN THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO PARK, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF ONCE MORE AS I WAS EXITING. I PARKED THE CAR, WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A CAR SHOP IN WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS AS A DAY LATER THEY WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT PERFECTLY NORMALLY. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO.

IN FEBRUARY OF 2016 THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE MIS-FIRING. TOOK TO DEALER AND DEALER PULLED FAULT CODE FOR #3 CYLINDER MIS-FIRE AND RECOMMENDED SPARK PLUG CHANGE. HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND CAR SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE BETTER. FEBRUARY 2018 THE PROBLEM GOT MUCH WORSE AND ACTUALLY STALLED FOR COOLANT TEMPERATURE BUT THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN STARTED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY AGAIN DIAGNOSED #3 CYLINDER MIS-FIRE. CYLINDER PRESSURE TEST FAILED. DEALER TOOK ENGINE APART AND FOUND THAT SIGNS OF OVERHEATING IN JUST THAT CYLINDER WHICH DAMAGED THE CYLINDER GASKET AND ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER. THE CYLINDER WAS DAMAGED AND THE DEALER REQUEST ENGINE CHANGE. THERE IS A FORD RECALL VERY SIMILAR TO THIS FOR LIKE VEHICLES BUT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. THE RECALL # IS 17V209000. FORD'S RECALL # IS 17S09. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH THE DEALERS FINDINGS AND WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE ENGINE IS CURRENTLY TORN APART WITH A VERY LARGE LABOR BILL ALREADY AND NOW A NEW ENGINE IS NEEDED FOR A DEFECT IN THE WAY IT WAS BUILT. CURRENTLY WITHOUT A CAR AND A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THIS MODEL YEAR HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE CURRENT RECALL. PLEASE HELP! THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT CASTLE FORD IN MICHIGAN CITY, IN 46360. THEY HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION OF THE DIAGNOSTICS THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE LEFT AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT, BATTERY, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V167000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000. FORD RECALL NUMBER: 15S14, FORD RECALL NUMBER: 18S08. NHSTA RECALL BULLETIN:15V250000. NHSTA RECALL BULLETIN: 18V167000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V250000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SHEEHY FORD LINCOLN IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE PASSENGERS AIR BAG WILL NOT TURN ON FOR MY 5"4 105LB WIFE WHEN SHE SITS IN THE SEAT. FORD / THE DEALER CLAIM IT MAY BREAK HER NECK; I DON'T THINK SO. SHE HAS A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG IN HER TOYOTA SAI (IN JAPAN).

MY 2015 FUSION SE GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT. IT IS STUCK AND REVERSE. TRIED TO SHIFT GEARS AND NOW THAT MY CAR IS NOT IN PARK ENGINE WILL NOT TURN ON. I JUST GOT MY CAR TWO MONTHS AGO. A RELATIVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE SHIFT CABLE.

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. STRONG FUEL ODOR AFTER FUELING VEHICLE

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND WITHIN 15 MIN OF DRIVING OFF THE LOT IT STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE DRIVE THRU AND THEN AGAIN WHEN PULLING ONTO THE ROAD AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALMOST HIT US. TERRIFYING.

MY PARENTS FORD FUSION SE CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES. ME FAILED TURNING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY SHORTLY AFTER MY PARENTS TOOK DELIVERY ON THE CAR. IN APRIL 2017, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY FAILED REQUIRING BOTH FRONT TIRES TO BE REPLACED. IN AUGUST 2017, THE NEW FRONT RIGHT GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRE DEVELOPED BBBLES ON THE SIDE WALL AND SUDDENLY FAILED NECESSITATING ANOTHER REPLACEMENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT TIRE FAILED AT 2,280 MILES, NOW BOTH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES ARE BALD AT THE SHOULDERS JUST SIX MONTHS LATER. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR WHO OFFERED US A MERE $$47.95 FOR ONE FAILED TIRE AND $32.88 FOR THE OTHER WHEN THESE TIRES COST US $198/PER TIRE. GOODYEAR SUPPOSEDLY WARRANTS THEM FOR SIX YEARS. CUSTOMER SUPPORT WAS HOSTILE. BECAUSE I BE,I EVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE, I WANTED FOUR NEW TIRES. GOODYEAR SAID IF THEY DID ANYTHING I'D BE FORCED TO TAKE MORE GOODYEAR TIRES. I PAID FOR FOUR NEW MICHELIN TIRES TO PROTECT MY FAMILY. WE ONLY HAVE 28,138 MILES ON THIS CAR BUT HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SIX GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES FOR SUDDEN FAILURE. WHY ON EARTH HAVEN'T THEY BEEN RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND OFTEN THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER. SPUTTERS AND THEN THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND TAKES OFF. OFTEN DURING DRIVING THE RPM GAUGE WILL SPIKE, LOSS OF POWER OCCURS AND THEN THE VEHICLE JERKS AND POWER IS RESTORED. DOES NOT MATTER THE LENGTH OF TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN EVERY DAY, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 2-12-2018, USED WITH 46XXX MILES ON IT.

IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED WILE I'M DRIVING IT 4 TIMES, I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS, I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE

AT TIMES THERE IS A LOUS CLUNKING WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VICE VERSA. ALSO THERE IS SOME HARD SHIFTING WHEN ACCELERATING.

NHTSA RECALL 15V250; FORD RECALL 15S14. I BOUGHT THIS CAR APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO AND THEY HAVE YET TO OFFER A REPAIR FOR THIS RECALL.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS COME LOOSE. I HAVE HAD IT TIGHTENED AT LOCAL MECHANIC BUT IT HAS COME LOOSE AGAIN. MECHANIC ADVISED THE STEERING WHEEL BOLT HAD "BACKED" OUT. I AM CONCERNED THE STEERING WHEEL WILL COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW IS ESTIMATE OF FIRST TIME NOTICED AND THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE SCREW THAT WAS HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL HAD COME OUT OF PLACE OR FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME LOOSE. CAN EASILY MOVE UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE.

DRIVER(WWII VET) HAD TO PUSH CONNECT PHONE ON THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED..PUTTING 3 LIVES IN JEPORDY..PLEASE DISMANTLE THIS FEATURE LIKE THE ADDRESS YOU CAN ENTER WHEN SEARCHING FOR A LOCATION TILL THE CAR STOPS--COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND REDICULOUS..ALSO THE CAR MAKERS HAVENT GOT IT RIGHT YET AFTER 100 YRS. ON DETERMINING THE CORRECT LOCATION OF CONTROLS--CONSISTANCY DOES PAY OFF, IT SURE DOES WHEN IT COMES TO SELLING VEHICLES BY THEM NOT BEING CONSISTANT AND YOU CRASH AND HAVE TO KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS BUYING THEIR PARTS AND REPAIR FROM THEIR COMPANY..SIGNED-PASSENGER-BACKSEAT, HAVENT DROVE SINCE 2012--AND AUTO MAKERS DON'T DESERVE IT.

STOPPED IN DRIVE THRU AT FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. CAR WAS FINE. GOT READY TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE, WOULD NOT MOVE AND COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS, COULD NOT REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. WHEN TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED, HE NOTICED THAT THE SHIFT LINKAGE WAS DISCONNECTED FROM GEAR CHANGER. NO PART IN STOCK TO RECONNECT IT, EVEN AFTER CONTACTING DEALERSHIP. A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ONLY NORMAL DRIVING ACTIVITY AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE AND HAS VERY MUCH PLAY ALMOST ABOUT TO FALL OFF. IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF IT DID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS NOT SECURED PROPERLY. THE STEERING WHEEL FELT VERY LOOSE AND WOULD MOVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AND UP AND DOWN. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM FAILURE. CAR HARD TO TURN.

IMAGINE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED WHEN SUDDENLY YOU SUFFER COMPLETE ENGINE POWER LOSS. THE POWER STEERING, BRAKING, LIGHTING AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL SO YOU HAVE NO CLEAR CLUE ON WHAT IS OCCURRING, HOWEVER YOU KNOW THE VEHICLE NO LONGER REMAINS OPERATIONAL AND YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED, THE VEHICLE FILLED UP WITH SMOKE, AND FLAMES WERE NOTICED UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (CLONINGER FORD, 511 JAKE ALEXANDER BLVD, SOUTH SALISBURY, NC 28147) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BUMPER, FENDER, AND UNKNOWN PARTS UNDER THE HOOD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. *TT UPDATED 8/16/18*JB

THE STEERING WILL IS LOOSE AND THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT JIGGLING UP AND DOWN/ SIDE TO SIDE. THIS IS NOT A TIRE OR BRAKE ISSUES. THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE AND WIGGLES EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING AND/OR IN PARK. THE CAR HAS ~38K MILES AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME EXTREMELY LOOSE AND VIABLE. IT MOVES BACK AND FORTH AND SIDEWAYS. HAPPENED RATHER SUDDENLY.

CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARK. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE. EVEN TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND IT STILL DOES IT.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS COME LOOSE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN.

CAR STOPPED DEAD WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON HIGHTWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TRIED TO START CAR IT STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES ONCE STARTED ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. BROUGHT TO DEALER WHO ONLY REPLACED BATTERY. CAR ENGINE LIGHT STILL GOING ON AND IT IS STILL STALLING. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 6 MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPEND TO THIS FORD FUSION IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

WHEN A DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY BUT IN GEAR OR THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE ON AN INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE STOPS ON AN INCLINE, THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGES BUT THE DASHBOARD LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ON, THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE APPLIED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ELECTRONIC SWITCH PRESSED TO DISENGAGE. THE PARKING BRAKE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT NOT ILLUMINATING INITIALLY CAUSED CONFUSION AND WORRY THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT AND REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AT WILL.

THERE HAS BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. BOTH STRUTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 22,000 MILES. THE SWAY BAR LINK WAS ALSO REPLACED.I AM NOW AT 23,000 MILES EXPERIENCING A NOISE LIKE A BALL JOINT CLUNKING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT AND THE DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS MAKING THE NOISE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO 2 SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS FOR A SYNOPSIS. STILL NOTHING. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH AND SLAMS INTO THE NEXT GEAR FROM 2-3. I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM SPORT AUTOMOTIVE USED CARS ON OCTOBER 2017. EVER SINCE NOTHING BUT ISSUES. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY SINCE FORDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PURCHASED IN MY FAMILY.

IN OCTOBER 2017 MY FUSION STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES (THREE VARIOUS DAYS AND ONE DAY 15 MINUTES BETWEEN STALLS) AND AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 4TH. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH; FOUR TIMES ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE IN A PARKING LOT. IN EACH CASE I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (1/2 HOUR OR SO). WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE AWAY THE CAR WOULD START NORMALLY AND THEN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND MOVING IT WOULD START TO SPUTTER AND SHAKE AND THEN STALL OUT. IN EACH CASE NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I WOULD WAIT A FEW SECONDS, PRESS THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK A FEW TIMES, AND THEN IT WOULD START. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I RAN A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT AND NOTHING WAS NOTED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. IN DOING RESEARCH, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTION THROTTLE BODY.

STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND FEELS LOOSE. AFTER MANY MECHANIC SHOP TRIPS AND NEW TIRES. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND WOULD PHYSICALLY MOVE APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LAKE FORD IN LEWISTOWN, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BOLTS WERE FAULTY AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER TREAD TO SECURE THE STEERING WHEEL IN POSITION. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE BOLTS AND APPLYING A TREAD LOCK ADHESIVE TO THE BOLTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE.

FRONT LEFT (DRIVER) DOOR OPENED WHILE IN MOTION, DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. THIS PREVIOUSLY HAS OCCURRED WITH THE REAR LEFT DOOR AND WAS REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP AT MY COST.

MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING

I WAS DRIVING EARLIER THIS YEAR, TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE. I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER WITH NO DAMAGE, BUT DID HAVE TO GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL PUT BACK ON PROPERLY. I WAS CHARGED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SERVICE.

STEERING WHEEL CAME LOOSE COMING OUT OF PARKING GARAGE AND ALMOST WRECKED. DEALER STATED THEY TIGHTENED THE BOLT AND HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T COME LOOSE AGAIN. HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION COOLER REPLACED AT 300 MILES WHICH BROKE DOWN ON HIGHWAY. EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING CAME ON DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY EMERGENCY BRAKE INITIATED CAUSING CAR TO STOP AND ALMOST WRECK. THE DEALER SAID THEY FIXED A SENSOR.

NOTICED THAT STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK FOR LUNCH AT 12:00 ON 10/27/17. ONLY WHEEL IS LOOSE- STEERING COLUMN IS LATCHED AND STATIONARY. WHEEL HAS AT LEAS 1/2" OF GIVE ON ALL SIDES.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BROKE. VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. SHIFT CABLE CONNECTOR IS PLASTIC AND DISINTEGRATED.

SHIFT LEVER CABLE BROKE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVER. SHIFT LEVER IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND FELL APART.

FORD SYNC LOOSE CONNECTIVITY ONCE A MONTH, ONLY WAY TO RESET IS TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS A DEFECT OF DRIVING SAFETY AND HANDSFREE DRIVING.

THE STEERING BECAME A LITTLE WOBBLY OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND ON SATURDAY 9/23)17 WHILE DRIVING TO ATHENS WENT TO TURN IN GAS STATION AND THE STEERING WHEEL FELL OFF IN MY LAP. MY INSURANCE AGENT HAPPENED TO BE RIDING IN THE DARK WHEN IT HAPPENED AS WAS MY GRANDSON. I HAVE AT LEAST 6 OTHER WITNESSES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CHECK BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO STOP AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND WORKED FINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT TEST DRIVEN. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE NO BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GARNET FORD (1610 WILMINGTON PIKE, WEST CHESTER, PA 19382 (610) 358-5600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT RODENTS CHEWED THE BODY HARNESS, WHICH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THE WIRES WERE MADE WITH A SOY MATERIAL THAT ATTRACTED RODENTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,711.

SOFT AND LOW BRAKE PEDAL. SO I HAVE A2015 FORD FUSION SE I RECENTLY CHANGED MY PADS AND ROTOR ON. WHILE ON,THE LIFT MY BATTERY DIED. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER ANSLD BOOSTING MY CAR I THEN HAD A SOFT BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL EXTREMELY FAR DOWN, I HAVE SHOP HAS BLED THE SYSTEM NUMEROUS TIMES CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND STILL NOTHING. I WAS TOLD IT COULD,BE A CALIPER DOING,THIS AND IALSO,SEEN ONLINE IT COULD BE THE ABS MOD. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ IS LEADING TO THE ABS MODULE BUT NOTHING CAN BE PROVED SO I'M LEFT TO DUMP MONEY IN PARTS AND HOPE IT GETS FIXED. FIXING TGUNGS THAT ARE NOT BROKE IS INSANE IN MY EYES......

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT DUE THE NUMBER OF DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCES OF SUN ROOFS CRACKING OR EXPLODING ON FORD FUSION AND OTHER FORD BRANDED VEHICLES. ON 9/1/2017 WHILE OPENING THE SUN ROOF HEARD POP SOUND. THE SUN ROOF OPENED ABOUT 5 INCHES. I RETURNED IT TO THE CLOSED POSITION AND FOUND THE SUN ROOF CRACKED IN A RECTANGULAR PATTERN ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLASS. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FROM 9:00 AM PST UNTIL 5:00 PM PST AT MY WORK SITE WITH ALL 4 WINDOWS CRACKED ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 INCH. AS WELL I NOTICED THAT ON THE BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE THE HEAD LINER HAD DETACHED FROM ROOF AND BELOW WEATHER STRIPPING. ATTEMPTED TO PUSH IT BACK UP BUT IT WILL NOT STAY AFTER THE SUNROOF CRACKED. ENTERING THE CAR I ROLLED ALL WINDOWS DOWN, TURNED ON AC WHICH WAS SET AT 64 DEGREES AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SUN ROOF BEFORE DRIVING OFF. ALL WINDOWS AND OPEN SUN ROOF WAS TO HELP EVACUATE WARM AIR THAT REMAINED IN THE CAR AS IT WAS PARKED DURING THE DAY. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 9961 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. CARE IS DRIVEN ABOUT 6 MILES MONDAY - FRIDAY FROM MY HOME TO WORK AND BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO SAYVILLE FORD LOCATED AT 5686 SUNRISE HWY, SAYVILLE, NY 11782 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND BEING BURNED INSIDE THE ENGINE MANIFOLD AND THE COOLER INTAKE MANIFOLD, RELATED GASKETS AND SEALS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SABLE FORD, WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. ..UPDATED 10/25/17 *BF *JS

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE TO WORK AT DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK, THE PASSENGER DOOR FLEW UP BY ITSELF. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME THANK GOD AND ALSO IT WAS A SINGLE LANE ROAD. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY, REALIZED THAT MY LATCH WAS NOT LATCHING AND IT SEEMS TO BE BROKEN. TIED THE DOOR TOGETHER WITH MY BELT AND DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION.BOUGHT SOME TENSION BANDS TO HOLD THE DOOR FROM FLYING OPEN. WHEN I CALLED FORD ABOUT MY ISSUE, THEY ADVISE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY WARRENTLY EXPIRED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I SHOWED AND EXPLAINED TO THE REP THAT THERE ARE OTHER FORD FUSIONS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. SHE RAN MY VIN AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIABLE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET $535.....CALLED THER CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, THE REP TOLD ME THAT SHE WILL FILE MY CLAIM AND I WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL LETTING ME KNOW IF FORD WILL FIX IT OR NOT. THAT NEVER HAPPENED AND IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS GOING ON 3 I HAVE BEEN RIDING ROUND WITH MY DOOR TIED UP UNTIL I CAN COME UP WITH THE FUNDS TO FIX IT.

PULLED UP TO MY DESTINATION, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BEGAN TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. AS I EXITED VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I FELL BACK INTO CAR AND ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE CAR SHIFTER HAD NOT GONE INTO PARK WHEN I MOVED IT UPWARDS TOWARDS PARK AND INSTEAD HAD GOTTEN LOCKED IN NEUTRAL. I WAS STILL ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NOT ENGAGED IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. NOW GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT MOVE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOGGUS FORD AND THEY SAY THAT PROBLEM IS NOT UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. FORD RECALLED 2014-2015 FORD FUSIONS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON NOVEMBER 18, 2014 BUT NOW THEY TELL ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT MADE AT THE PARTICULAR PLANT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO MY ISSUE ISN'T COVERED. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ATTACHED PHOTO MY KEY IS SITTING ON TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE VEHICLE NOT IN PARK INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND THE VEHICLE OFF.

ON JULY 26, 2017 I EXPERIENCED A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING OF MY 2015 FORD FUSION WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE. WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AND OF TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED. STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. MY FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED. I TRIED TO THEN DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WHEN THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF. I GOT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ARRANGED FOR A TOW. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING A FAILED STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND THE POWER STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED, COSTING $1,871.42. A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST THREE RECALLS OF FUSIONS (AND OTHER FORD / LINCOLN MODELS) FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE (6/11/2013; 5/2/2015; 6/27/2015). THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FUSIONS AND REPORTS OF SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL TO THOSE DESCRIBED HEREIN ARE NUMEROUS. THE ACTUAL FAILURE THAT CAUSED THIS EVENT IS UNKNOWN: CODES WERE PULLED THAT INDICATED THE ELECTRIC STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT BUT THIS DOES NOT PINPOINT WHAT PART OF THE ASSEMBLY WAS AT FAULT. WHEN ASKED WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS LOSS OF STEERING ON A VEHICLE HAVING 59,666 MILES ON IT, THE FORD SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED IT WAS DUE TO "DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS". THIS EXPLANATION, WHETHER TRUE OR NOT, IS ABSURD AND UNACCEPTABLE. THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED UNDER THE SAME ROAD CONDITIONS COMMON TO ALL DRIVERS. IF THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THE FUSION STEERING SYSTEM IS DELICATE ENOUGH TO FAIL UNDER NORMAL USE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED. PROBLEMS THAT RESULT IN COMPROMISED STEERING OR BRAKING ARE LIFE-THREATENING. IT WOULD SEEM TO BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ONGOING STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUSION RESULTS IN DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL I DID A WHEEL ALIGMENT ON 2015 FORD FUSION CAUSE IT PULLS RIGHT REAL HARD ON ACCELERATION.THE ALIGMENT SAID IT WAS JUST FINE BUT THE TOE WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT IN THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES.THE CAR STILL PULLS RIGHT ON ECCELERATION AND NOW ITS PULLS HARDER SOMETIMES.MY OTHER PROBLEM IS I CAN'T PULL THE SEAT TO PUT IT ON IT'S STUCK AND FORD IS TELLING ME IT'S NOT A WARRANTY PROBLEM.I'M MAD FORD WONT FIX THERE SCREW UPS AND ONCE THIS IS FIXED I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND MY FUSION STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I LOST POWER. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING AND NOT MANY PEOPLE WERE ON THE ROAD. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OTHERWISE.

RECENTLY, WHILE TRAVELING FROM CHICAGO, IL TO LAS VEGAS NEVADA, I EXPERIENCED MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, WHERE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, DUE TO THE CLOSENESS OF THE WHERE IT BROKE DOWN. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED A FEW DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD NO MORE DAYS TO STAY IN VEGAS, AS I NEEDED TO RETURN HOME. THUS, I FLEW BACK TO CHICAGO, AND LEFT MY CAR IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA IN THE CARE OF THE REPAIR SHOP FOR TESTING AND DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THE REPAIR SHOP CALLED AND STATED THAT MY CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS BEFUDDLED ME, AS MY CAR WAS JUST BARELY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS LOW MILEAGE. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT FORD FUSIONS FROM 2013-2016 HAVE KNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND MANY HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. I CALLED THE FORD CORPORATE OFFICE AFTER THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FRIENDLY FORD, WHERE I AM WAITING FOR THE DIAGNOSIS TO BE COMPLETED. HOWEVER, I WAS ALREADY ADVISED THAT IF IN FACT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, IT WOULD BE TAKE APPROXIMATELY 4-6 WEEKS TO BE COMPLETED. THIS PRESENTS A TREMENDOUS INCONVENIENCE TO ME, AS I AM IN CHICAGO AND MY VEHICLE IS 1800 MILES AWAY FROM ME, ESSENTIALLY USELESS TO MY DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE SCHOOL, WORK, DOCTORS' APPOINTMENT ETC. I AM A FULL-TIME STUDENT, AND WORK FULL TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, RECENTLY I HAVE BECOME VERY ILL AND HAVE HAD TO CATCH RIDES TO MY VARIOUS DOCTORS' APPOINTMENTS. GETTING AROUND HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY CHALLENGING WITH NO VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD KNEW THAT THERE WERE TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON AND FAILED TO RECALL ALL OF THEM TO SAVE MONEY, AND AVOID EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTS ON POORLY

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON I- 55, ONE OF MY BACK TIRES BLEW UP ON 2015 FORD FUSION. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT! ON SATURDAY, I CALLED MICHELIN, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TIRE TO DISCOUNT TIRE. I WENT IN TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN NEW LENOX, IL ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11, 2017, AND THE MANAGER NEAL, SAID THAT ALL OF THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE BLOWOUT WAS CAUSED AS A RESULT OF LOW THREAD COUNT. DISCOUNT TIRE WENT ON TO INFORM THAT XCHANGE LEASING, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY AND INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSING THE NEED FOR THE TIRES TO BE REPLACED. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT SEEMS THAT XCHANGE HAS DROPPED THE BALL, AND THANKFULLY THE NEGLIGENCE DID NOT RESULT IN AN UNTIMELY DEATH! SINCE, BEING A PART OF THE XCHANGE LEASING PROGRAM, I HAVE REGULARLY HAD ALL OF MY INSPECTIONS COMPLETED, WHICH INCLUDED TIRE ROTATION, AND INSPECTION. THERE IS NO INDICATION ON ANY OF THE INSPECTION REPORTS THAT TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING ON A DONUT, AND I AM SEEKING A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

ON JULY 23, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY WIFE SAYING HER CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER STARTING THE CAR, WE NOTICE THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT TURN. WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE WAS FLASHING. ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER SERVICE ENGINE WARNING. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, DID RESEARCH ON YOUTUBE TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. WELL,TO MY SURPRISE. YOUTUBE WAS LOADED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS JUST OVER TWO YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE BACKUP CAMERA FAILED TO CONNECT. AS A RESULT, THE SCREEN DISPLAY WAS BLANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DELACY FORD (3061 TRANSIT RD, ELMA, NY 14059, (716) 668-1200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMERA NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOUR TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

DRIVING WITH SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER STEERING

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V875000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (MIKE MURPHY FORD INC, 565 W JACKSON ST, MORTON, IL 61550, (309) 263-2311) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND THE LATCH TO LOCK THE DOOR TO THE FRAME DOES NOT HOLD UNLESS MANUALLY PUSHING THE LATCH ON THE DOOR ITSELF DOWN TO ENABLE THE LATCH TO CATCH AND HOLD THE BAR ON THE FRAME. OTHERWISE, THE DOOR IS NOT SECURED TO THE FRAME. THE DOOR HANDLE HAS BEEN STICKING FOR A FEW DAYS AND ON SUNDAY MAY 21, 2017 I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HANDLE PULLED AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO OPEN THE SAID DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I TRIED PUSHING THE HANDLE BACK IN AND IT WOULD NOT PUSH IN. IT IS DANGEROUS AND AFRAID THE DOOR MAY OPEN DURING VEHICLE OPERATION.

WHILE GOING IN REVERSE DOWN AN INCLINE ALL THE DASH LIGHTS TURN ON AND STEERING LOCKS UP. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AND BRAKING AT THE SAME TIME. ON THE CITY STREETS IS WHEN IT WAS FIRST NOTICE. AFTER HAVING THE DEALER COMPUTER READ OUT AND MY REPAIR SHOP READ OUT BOTH SAID THE SAME THING. THIS REPAIR HAD TO BE MADE. RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL ABS SENSOR AND HARNESS AND HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE WHEEL SPEED ABS SENSOR AND HARNESS. I HAVE UPLOADED ALL REPAIR/BILL AND DIAGNOSTICS ON THIS 2015 CAR. NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE MAKER AS OF YET AND I HAVE CALLED THE MAKER OF THIS CAR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT AND ALSO ON LINE TO THE FACEBOOK WEBSITE AND HAVE FILED A REPORT. UPDATED 06/01/17*LJ *JS

WIPERS ON HIGHEST SETTING DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN A MODERATE RAIN. IN THE CASE OF A HARD DOWNPOUR I HAVE TO PULL OVER & STOP.THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! I WILL BE TRADING THIS CAR SOON!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONING AND SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE VENTS. THE CONTACT HAD TO STOP AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ISSUED AN UNINTENTIONAL FIRE REPORT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND ALSO FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED. CHECKED COOLANT LEVEL, AND IT WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. I REFILLED COOLANT TO RECOMMENDED LEVEL, AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. TWO WEEKS LATER, IT OVERHEATED AGAIN, AND MY COOLANT WAS LOW AGAIN. REFILLED AND MONITORED FOR LEAKS. NO LEAKS. THEN VEHICLE BEGAN MISFIRING. DIAGNOSED WITH CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS. STILL MISFIRING. REDIAGNOSED WITH CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. THEN IT JUST DIED. WOULD NOT START. ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS FLOODING. DIAGNOSED WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES BY DEALERSHIP. THEN DISCOVERED TSB FOR A BOLT THAT WAS BACKING OUT OF THE INTERCOOLER AND INTO THE MANIFOLD. THIS ISSUE WAS ALLOWING COOLANT TO FLOOD THE MANIFOLD AND CAUSE MISFIRING. GOT THAT FIXED AS WELL AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TURBO UNIT FOR THE CAR WHICH WERE DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE COOLANT ISSUE. $5,000 IN REPAIRS FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED IN THE DESERT HEAT WITHOUT A/C OR IN THE SUB-ZERO SNOWY MOUNTAINS WITHOUT HEAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN START. AS A FAMILY, WE TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. THE WRENCH AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TWICE, BUT IT STALLED AGAIN WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND HAS BEEN THERE EVER SINCE MARCH 27, 2017. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE STARTED IN JANUARY OF 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWO OTHER TIMES FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TOTAL CONTROL MODULE BACK IN JANUARY, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED EIGHT TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. UPDATED 10/31/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THERE WAS AN AIR BAG CASING THAT WAS PUSHING UPWARDS TOWARDS THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED DUE TO THE AIR BAG CASING BEING OUT OF PLACE AND COULD EXPERIENCE A FAILURE WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE DASHBOARD COULD BE REPLACED BUT IT WOULD BE AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE... WARNING LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND CAR WOULD GET EXTREMELY HOT... COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE, INTERNAL LEAK, SO WARNING LIGHT WOULD APPEAR ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTENANCE AND NOTHING DONE BY OWNER TO CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC -- LOTS OF STOP AND GO -- WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION KEY FOB AND APPARENTLY TURNED IT INTO THE ACC POSITION. CAR SHUT DOWN AND MESSAGE "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY BLINKERS AND DRIFTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE 4-LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AND PUTTING IT IN PARK I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. CAR IS USUALLY DRIVEN BY 5' 3" DRIVER WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM; BUT I AM 6" 3" AND MY KNEE CONTINUALLY HITS THE IGNITION KEY FOB AS I MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. TO SAY THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR TALL DRIVERS OF THE FORD FUSION WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

I'VE HAD STEERING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT CAN'T BE AND/OR WON'T BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE ESPECIALLY ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. THE SUSPENSION IS WEAK MAKING THE CAR SEEM AS IF IT'S SINKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND BOUNCES WAY TOO MUCH AS WELL AS THE SWAYING AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND HAS WHERE ROLL ON TURNS. THE VEHICLE SITS TOO LOW TO CLEAR ALL DRIVE WAYS AND THE WIPERS DON'T CLEAR THE WINDOWS PROPERLY. THE FRONT WINDOW ALWAYS GETS FOGGY CAUSING THE HEAT OR AC TO BE USED CONSTANTLY.

TAKATA RECALL.... MY GIRLFRIEND WRECKED MY CAR OFF A T-ROAD TRYING TO MISS DEER AND DID MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. SEAT BELT DIDN'T RESTRAIN HER EITHER, SHE HIT STEERING WHEEL EXTREMELY HARD. SHE WAS ON A HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I COUDNT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT CAN DRIVE STRAIGHT BUT TRYING TO TURN T O MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I DROVE IT TO WORK THAT MORNING BUT IT WAS SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO MAKE TURNS SINCE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HEAVY TO TURN. I TOOK IT TO FOR DEALER SHIP AND IT TOOK THEM 2 DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD GIVE ME A DIAGNOSES. THEY TOLD IT THE STEERING WHEEL GEAR/ STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO GET REPLACED. ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE ON THE SHEERING WHEEL MODULE. THEY FIRST TOLD ME IT WOULD CAST $1,300.00 THEN 2 DAYS LATER $1700.00 I SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR AND HE TOLD ME $2200.0 WHEN I TOLD HIM I ALREADY GOT A QUOTE FROM HIS MECHANIC, HE SAID $1600.00

TODAY, 21 FEBRUARY 2017 - 6:50PM, ON OUR WAY HOME APPROACHING CROWLEY ROAD IN BURLESON, TEXAS, THE BRAKE SYSTEM STARTED WARNING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. WE STOPPED THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE BRAKING BECAME UNSTABLE AND WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WE CONTINUED AT A SLOW PACE UNTIL WE ARRIVED HOME AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS STILL DISPLAYING AN ERROR. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT SET EITHER. I DECIDED TO RUN A VEHICLE SAFETY REPORT. WHEN I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN RUN MODE I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE ERROR DISAPPEARED AND I HAD TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE TO RUN THE VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT. THE REPORT RAN WITHOUT ERRORS. THE BRAKE SYSTEM WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY. MY WIFE AND I WERE FORTUNATE WE DID NOT GET REAR ENDED IN THIS OCCURENCE.

CAR STALLS AFTER STARTING. WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A PARKED POSITION CAR WILL HESITATE SHUDDER AND ACCELERATOR WILL NOT WORK. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER SITTING SEVERAL MINUTES THE CAR WILL RESTART AND RUN NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS PARKED AND SHUT OFF.

STARTED CAR AND PLACED INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE. AS I BACKED UP I TRIED TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, BUT COULDN'T. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN A ONE MONTH PERIOD. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE STEERING GEAR BOX, A $1,700 FIX FOR A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD, BUT OUT OF THE 36,000 BASIC WARRANTY. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER, I WILL PROVIDE THE REPAIR INVOICE ONCE THE WORK IS COMPLETE.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING MOTION AND WHEN IT WAS IN STATIONARY. THERE WAS A MESSAGE POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK", I TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERS TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND THE ISSUE AND ALL OF THEM SAID THAT THEIR COMPUTER ISN'T DETECTING THE ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING. SO THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. I EVEN OPENED UP A LEMON LAW CASE IN NJ SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN HELP ME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY CAR HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS AND ALARMS GOING OFF. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS FAILURE PRIOR AS THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOSS OF POWER WAS A LOSS OF STEERING AND A LOSS OF POWER ASSIST BRAKING, WHICH RESULTED IN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ONCE IN PARK IT WOULD NOT ALLOW CHANGING GEARS. A TOW TRUCK REQUIRED THE USE OF TIRE DOLLY'S TO LOAD THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A CAUSE, AND USED THE ANALOGY THAT THE CAR HAD AN "ELECTRICAL SEIZURE," WHICH I INTERPRET AS A CATASTROPHIC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE CAR OPERABLE BY REBOOTING, AND REINSTALLING SOFTWARE, TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. *TR

A1 INCOMING EMAIL: DOCUMENTS FROM CONSUMER RE 2015 FORD FUSION LEMON LAW. *SMD THE VEHICLE WAS REPROGRAMMED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2016. THE DEALER STATED NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,125.

BRAKES "AUTOMATICALLY" APPLY WITH NO WARNING OR REASON. MANUFACTURER ISSUED "SSM 45775" BUT WILL NOT TELL ME WHEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION ENERGI. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE INDICATOR TURNED OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAM POSITION SHAFT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,486.

THE 2015 FUSION HAD A SURGE AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. MY WIFE SAID THAT HAPPENED TO HER BEFORE. WHEN IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR DRIVING IT WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER. THIS HAPPENED TO US WITH THE 2010 RAV4 AND THE 2009 SIENNE THAT CRASHED INTO A TREE. PLEASE CHECK THIS CAR FOR A COMPUTER PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: ON MY WAY HOME I WOULD BE SITTING AT THE LIGHT. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. IT HAD JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. THEN AFTER A WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT THEN IT WOULD GOT OUT. THEN A WEEK OR TWO LATER THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE AND THEN IT WOULD SHUT OFF, WITH OUT ME PHYSICALLY DOING SO. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN START IT UP AGAIN. AND THE CAR WOULD RUN AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. THIS WOULD HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN I'M IN RUSH HOUR ( STOP AND GO TRAFFIC). THEN I FIGURED MAYBE IF I TOOK THE HWY HOME IT WOULDN'T DO THAT. NO SUCH LUCK. AS I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET OFF AT THE EXIT I NEEDED IT MADE THAT SAME NOISE AGAIN. I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE HWY ONTO A BUSY STREET (DURING RUSH HOUR). I WAS IN THE RIGHT TURNING LANE AND COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE FOR A FEW SECONDS. SO UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE SIDE STREETS JUST IN CASE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AT LEAST ON A SIDE STREET I'LL HAVE TIME TO PULL OVER OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR A SECOND TO READJUST ITSELF. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY SO OFTEN, UNTIL WE HAD A CHANCE TO GET IT FIXED.

WAS DRIVING LAST THURSDAY NOV 10 2016 ON MY WAY TO WORK, STOP AT RED LIGHT THEN MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND COULD NOT CONTROL MY STEERING. ALMOST HIT TELEPHONE POLE DUE TO NOT BE ABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. HAD TO CALL TOW TRUCK AND TOW IT INTO HAGERSTOWN FORD. NEED TO ORDER WHOLE NEW STEERING BOX. I WONDER HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE ONLY ONE YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES. I SEEN THEY HAD RECALL 15S14 REGARDING THE STEERING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE AT A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE POWER SEIZED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BOULDER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,895.

I RENTED THIS 2015 FORD FUSION SE4 FOR 2 WEEKS FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR LOCATION AT 2090 N SR7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021, PH.NO. 954-964-9954. DURING THE DRIVE BACK TO ENTERPRISE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE, MY KNEE BRUSHED UP AGAINST THE FOB DANGLING FROM THE KEYED IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY ROTATED TO THE ACC POSITION FROM THE RUN/ON POSITION AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS IN DRIVE AT THE TIME, SO I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PLACED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ON ARRIVAL AT ENTERPRISE WHILE STOPPED IN THEIR PARKING LOT WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, I WAS ABLE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO ACCESSORY OR OFF WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I DEMONSTRATED THIS SAME PROCEDURE TO THE ENTERPRISE AGENT WHO STATED THAT HE WOULD REMOVE IT FROM SERVICE AND TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS. FL TAG # DFSM59

AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR SOME TIME. PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. AFTER REVERSING OUT OF SPOT, ETC. AND PUT THE CAR INTO "L"; UPON MOVING FORWARD, THE ENGINE STARTS RACING AND LURCHES UNCONTROLLABLY FORWARD. ALMOST LIKE THE CAR IS ENGINE BRAKING DOWN A LARGE HILL, BUT NO HILL AND IS ACCELERATING WITHOUT APPLYING BRAKES. THIS IS THE PLUG-IN HYBRID MODEL. THERE IS NO INCLINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

I HAVE THE STEERING ISSUES FROM DEFECTIVE EPS PROGRAMMING THAT CAUSES PULLING TO EITHER SIDE. THE WIPERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THE SEATS ARE HARD AND POSITIONED WRONG. THE VEHICLE IS TOO LOW. THE REAR MAKES A HELICOPTER NOISE IF I OPEN THE WINDOW WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANS VIBRATES THE CAR IN ECO BUT ALSO SHIFTS VERY HARD IN SPORT. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING MORE THAN ONCE. THE LIST OF PROBLEMS GO ON AND ON.

APPROX. 32K MILES. CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS ON LEVEL SURFACE STREET. SUNNY DAY, ABOUT 80 DEG. F. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT WAS SEIZED IN RETRACTED POSITION AND WOULD NOT EXTEND. AFTER JERKING ON THE BELT 4-5 TIMES AS HARD AND QUICK AS POSSIBLE THE BELT HAS FREED UP FOR NOW; HOWEVER, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS WILL BE A RECURRING PROBLEM OR A COMMON PROBLEM. VEHICLE DETAILS: 2015 FORD FUSION SE HYBRID.

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED A "WRENCH" LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SUFFERED DIMINISHED PERFORMANCE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND DRIVING FOR TWO WEEKS. EACH TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE "WRENCH" WAS NOT ON AND THEY COULD NOT CAPTURE A "CODE." FINALLY, ONE MORNING THE LIGHT WAS ON AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AS DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SPEED WAS INADEQUATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WON'T EXTEND WHILE THE CAR IS OFF. IT LOCKS UP. BECAUSE THE SEATBELT WON'T RELEASE, I CAN'T FASTEN IT INTO THE BUCKLE. BECAUSE I CAN'T PUT-ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT, I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR. THE SEATBELT ALSO LOCKS UP WHILE I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SO I CAN'T MOVE AROUND FREELY TO REACH THE CONTROL PANEL. THIS HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE WITHOUT A SEATBELT. THE DEALER CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD, AND THEY SAID BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE AT 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, AN UNKNOWN SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AFTER IT CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE HEAD AND WHIPLASH. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. BOTH OCCUPANTS REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOOSTER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,765.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR GLASS SHATTERED WHEN OPENING DOOR .VEHICLE STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY HAVE ALSO FOUND CRACK IN WINDSHIELD.

THE VOLUME ON THE REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM IS TO LOW. WITH THE RADIO ON IT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE. I OWNED ANOTHER FORD THAT I TRADED IN ON THIS CAR AND THE VOLUME WAS NICE AND LOUD. I CONTACTED FORD VIA THEIR WEB PAGE AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT DID NOT KNOW IF THE VOLUME COULD BE ADJUSTED .

DUST IS GETTING IN SIDE OF CAR UNDER THE BACK DOORS. DUST IS IN THE FLOOR AND BACK SEAT. CAR IS IN MOTIO WHEN THE DUST GET IN SIDE OF CAR. THE CAR IS ON DIRT ROAD FOR 1 MILE UNTIL I GET TO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN DRIVING ON DIRT ROAD I CAN SEE DUST IN THE AIR INSIDE OF CAR. I HAVE HAD DUST COMING INTO THE CAR FROM 09-2014 THROUGHT TODAY. CAR HAS BEEN AT RIVER SIDE FORD IN MACON, GA. AND DUBLIN FORD IN DUBLIN, GA. BOTH DEALER SAY THEIR IS NO REPAIR FOR THE CAR. BOTH DEALER HAVE PICTURES FOR THIS CAR.

1ST OFF I'LL START WITH THE WORSE TO LEASE PROBLEMS, THE TRANS SHIFTING VERY SLOWLY AND HARD, THE CAR IS TOO LOW AND HITS EVERYTIME TO A DRIVEWAY IS ENTERED AT A MALL OR ANY PARKING LOT AND IS TOO LOW FOR CHICAGO WINTERS, THE SEATS ARE VERY CHEAP AND GET STAINS FROM DROPS OF WATER, CAR RIDES HARD AND NOISY ESPECIALLY THE REAR, POOR STEREO SOUND, VERY SLOW ACCELERATION, ELECTRONIC STEERING MAKES THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND HARD TO STAY STRAIGHT IN LANE, AND EVERYTHING'S IN THE WRONG PLACE (ARM REST TOO LOW TO REACH STEERING WHEEL, SEAT TO LOW OR FAR AWAY TO REACH PEDALS AND ON LONG TRIPS WEARS THE DRIVER OUT FROM FIGHTING THE VEHICLE. OWN A 2005 TAURUS THAT MADE ME A REPEAT BUYER BUT THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD AND TOYOTA, HYUNDAI AS WELL AS SOME OTHER CAR COMPANIES ARE JUST TOO PROBLEMATIC TO EVER PURCHASE AGAIN DUE TO ALL THE NEW TRANS AND STEERING PROBLEMS COMBINED WITH THE POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP MAKE OLDER VEHICLE LOOK SO GOOD NOW.

MY 2015 FORD FUSION HYBRID HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT. I OPENED MY GARAGE DOOR AND GOT IN TO GO TO WORK AND CAR WAS DEAD. NO ELECTRICAL RESPONSE. CALLED FORD ROAD SERVICE AND CAR WAS DRAGGED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND ONTO A FLAT BED AND TAKEN TO MY DEALERSHIP. CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR A WEEK NOW AND STILL NO DIAGNOSIS. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, THE CAR IS DRAWING POWER WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF AND KILLS THE BATTERY IN 2 HOURS. THEY ARE WORKING WITH FORD SYSTEM WIDE AND NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS TYPE OF FAULT YET. TO ME IT SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF SOFTWARE FAULT BUT PER FORD TROUBLESHOOTING, THEY HAVE TO TEAR MY CAR APART AND CHECK EVERY WIRE AND FUSE BEFORE LOOKING AT THE SOFTWARE ISSUES. THIS IS MY FIRST HYBRID AND I AM QUESTIONING MY DECISION.

SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM. TWICE SINCE BUYING THIS CAR, LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO, I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN A RAINSTORM, ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AT THEIR HIGHEST SPEED, WILL NOT COMPLETELY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD ENOUGH FOR SUFFICIENT VISIBILITY. I HAVE HAD TO STOP AND PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO QUIT. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO VISIBILITY. EVEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN DIDN'T HELP. I WAS BASICALLY BLINDED FOR AT LEAST 4-5 SECONDS AT ANY GIVEN TIME DURING THE STORM, PRAYING THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I DIDN'T HIT SOMEONE, OR SOMEONE DIDN'T HIT ME. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED OUT OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD, AND HOPE THAT THIS SITUATION IS RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

STEERING WILL PULL LEFT OR RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS . WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WILL PULL THE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN NEARING A CORNER OR CURVE IN THE ROAD BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO THAT. AFTER SEVERAL OCCURRENCES MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAD A CLOSE CALL WHEN THE WHEEL SUDDENLY TURNED TO THE RIGHT WHILE WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE. PEOPLE CAN BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE FROM THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL FROM FORD ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIPS I INQUIRED AT (2) HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID IT MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED,

I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD FUSION IN NOVEMBER 2014, ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER THE PURCHASE; I GOT CAUGHT IN A HARD RAIN ON A CITY STREET. I FOUND THAT THE WIPERS, AT THE HIGHEST SPEED, DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FAST ENOUGH FOR CLEAR VISIBILITY. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45, I SLOWED DOWN TO 25 OR LESS. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, THEY HAD THEIR TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT AND I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM, THEY ALSO COMPARED THEM TO ANOTHER FUSION ON THE PREMISES AND THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS WERE SIMILAR.I AM HOPING FOR A RECALL SOON, BEFORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AND PEOPLE GET HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IN HEAVY RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE FAST ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING HEAVY RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

STARTED CAR AND SEVERAL WARNINGS POPPED UP ON DISPLAY... SOMETHING ABOUT "HILL ASSIST" NOT AVAILABLE, "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED", AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT WAS STILL LOCKED... TURNS OUT IT WAS JUST EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I'M 6'3" 200+ LBS. IF IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TURN, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR MOST PEOPLE. IF THIS HAD FAILED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. FORD HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON 2011-2012 FUSIONS AND ISSUED A RECALL AND NOW IT'S STILL HAPPENING ON 2015 MODELS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AS FORD NEVER REALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. EXCERPT FROM 2011-2012 FUSION RECALL: FORD IS ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 423,000 VEHICLES (ACTUAL 422,814) INCLUDING CERTAIN 2011-2013 FORD TAURUS AND FLEX VEHICLES, LINCOLN MKS AND MKT VEHICLES, FOR CERTAIN 2011-2012 FORD FUSION AND LINCOLN MKZ VEHICLES, AND FOR CERTAIN 2011 MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES IN NORTH AMERICA FOR A POTENTIAL INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE STEERING GEAR THAT MIGHT RESULT IN THE LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STEERING SYSTEM DEFAULTS TO MANUAL STEERING MODE, MAKING THE VEHICLE MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2015 (IT WAS PRE-OWNED) AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY TURNS OFF WITH A MESSAGE SAYING, "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" ON THE DASHBOARD SO I IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE FOR A MONTH THAN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I CALL FORD CUSTOMER CARE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY TELL ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DO A DIAGNOSIS OF THE CAR, THEY DO, AND SAY "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG", IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH THE CAR SHUTS OFF WITH THE SAME MESSAGE POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I DO THE SAME PROCESS AND BEFORE. I EVEN CALL CUSTOMER CARE AGAIN AND THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING, SO I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALSO TELL ME THE SAME EXACT THING. THE THIRD TIME IT DOES IT AGAIN I CALL CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY STILL TELL ME THE SAME THING, BUT THIS TIME I REFUSED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW, I DRIVE FOR UBER AND I HAD A PASSENGER WITH ME AT THE TIME THAT HAPPENED. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR BECAUSE THE BREAKS SEEMED TO BE LOCKED. AT THIS POINT I WAS DRIVING NOW A HILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SQUIRRELS ATE THROUGH THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS ATTACHED TO THE BATTERY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,900.

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN CRASH. DEALER REPAIRED SAID VEHICLE AND SEAT BELTS WORK SOMETIMES AS WELL AS INSTRUMENT PANEL. VEHICLE CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT. DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG. OTHER ISSUES BUT NOT SAFETY RELATED.

DRIVING ON MOST ANY ROAD ABOVE 30 MPH THE STEERING PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT UNPREDICTABLY. STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THROUGH A LONG CURVE THE STEERING PULLS HARD CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING DESIRED DIRECTION. THE SYMPTOMS I EXPERIENCE ARE WELL DOCUMENTED IN CLASS ACTION SUIT: CASE5:14-CV-02989-HRL. THE EPAS SYSTEM COUPLED WITH PDC (PULL DRIFT COMPENSATION) CAUSES THE STEERING EFFORT TO BE UNPREDICTABLE. ULTIMATELY THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR TURNS OFF, EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER PRESENT IF THE SEAT IS HIGH OR IF THE SEAT IS FORWARD. IT HAPPENS WHEN WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN UPHILL, DOWNHILL, FLAT ROAD AND STATIONARY.

ALERT TONES EMITTED BY THE REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM AND CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT SYSTEM ARE SO LOW THEY ARE NEARLY INAUDIBLE WITH THE RADIO OFF AND THEY ARE INAUDIBLE WITH THE RADIO ON.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE ACC ON MY TRUCK MALFUNCTIONS UNEXPECTEDLY AND FREQUENTLY WHEN PASSING LARGE TRUCKS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS, IT CAUSES COLLISION WARNING SYSTEMS TO ACTIVATE INCLUDING UNEXPECTED AND HARD BRAKING. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. ONCE BEFORE AND ONCE AFTER THE RECALL. THERE WAS NOT CHANGE THE FIRST TIME AND AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM WAS REDUCED IN SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY BUT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS WILLING TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN, BUT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING TO DO THAT THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE. THE UNEXPECTED BRAKING NOT ONLY IS A SURPRISE TO THE DRIVER, BUT IT ALSO MAY CAUSE VEHICLES FOLLOWING TO REACT INAPPROPRIATELY. THIS DANGER IS EXAGGERATED BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING LARGE TRUCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE BRAKES PULSATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE BRAKES VIOLENTLY PULSATED AND RESULTED IN AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WAS ONE UNKNOWN INJURY REPORTED THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHEN MY PETITE WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF. SHE IS 5'1, APPROXIMATELY 100LBS. THE DEALER STATED THE CAR WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY AND DID NOT WANT TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUR 2010 SUBARU LEGACY, THOUGH I NEVER REPORTED IT. IS THIS CORRECT? ARE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS FOR THIS CAR DESIGNED AND TESTED NOT TO GO OFF FOR SOMEONE HER SIZE?

WHILE THE CAR IN REVERSE, IF THERE IS A INCOMING TEXT MESSAGE FROM THE PAIRED PHONE, THE PICTURES FROM THE BACKUP CAMERA SOMETIMES COULD BE LOST AND BLACKED OUT. HENCE, INCREASE THE CHANCE OF COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WAS DRENCHED WITH OIL, RENDERING THE VEHICLE "HAZARDOUS". THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT CALL BACK AS PROMISED OVER A WEEK AGO. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS SOME AT 40 MPH AND FROM 70-75 MPH. AT MY LAST SERVICE THEY DID REBALANCE THE TIRES WHICH HELPED SLIGHTLY BUT NOT TOTALLY.

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE WIPER AND/OR WINDSHIELD DESIGN - IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING, EVEN JUST MODERATELY RAINING, AND EVEN WITH THE WIPER SPEED ON HIGH. I CAN'T TELL IF THE WIPERS ARE TOO SLOW, IF THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD PROMOTES WATER RETENTION, OR IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE WIPER MECHANISM DESIGN (INSTEAD OF GOING THE SAME DIRECTION, THE WIPERS START IN THE MIDDLE AND GO SEPARATE DIRECTIONS TO THE OUTSIDE EDGE). FURTHERMORE, EVERY TIME THE WIPERS MAKE A PASS THERE APPEARS TO BE A FILM ON THE GLASS THAT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO CLEAR ' IT LOOKS SPLOTCHY, AND ISN'T AFFECTED BY TEMP/DEFROST AT ALL. AT NIGHT WHEN PASSING ANOTHER CAR OR UNDER STREET LIGHTS THIS MAKES A TERRIBLE GLARE, AND OF COURSE THE FASTER YOUR WIPERS ARE GOING, THE MORE "FILM" THERE WILL BE BECAUSE THERE'S NO TIME FOR IT TO CLEAR BETWEEN PASSES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 16 MILES ON IT AND NOTICED IT THE VERY FIRST TIME I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN (I'M NOW AT 7500 MILES). BETWEEN THE INADEQUATE PREVENTION OF WATER ACCUMULATION AND THE STRANGE FILM, THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. BEYOND THIS, I HAVE NOTICED FOR QUITE A WHILE THAT THE EXHAUST/MUFFLER MAKES A LOUD VIBRATION NOISE, AND AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN APPLYING BRAKES (DOWNSHIFT) OR WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING.

I RENTED A FORD FUSION IN PITTSBURG FOR 10 DAYS. IT HAD ELECTRIC SEATS THAT WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO POSITION TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION. I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND HAVE TRAVELLED EXTENSIVELY FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS, SO I AM USED TO RENTALS AND AIR TRAVEL RISKS. FROM THE 2ND DAY IN THE FUSIONS, I WAS FEELING A PAIN IN MY RIGHT LEG ( CALF). WHEN I RETURNED HOME IN NH 10 DAYS LATER, I WENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR WHO SENT ME FOR AN ULTRASOUND WHICH FOUND THE INCIDENCE OF THE DVT. I AM UNDER TREATMENT NOW AND AM OK, BUT AM CONCERNED THAT THE ERGONOMICS OF SOME VEHICLES MAY BE CONTRIBUTORY TO CERTAIN ILLNESS FOR HUMANS. WANTED TO REPORT SO THE INCIDENCE OF DVT TO SPECIFIC MODELS WITH ELECTRICS SEATS COULD BE TRACKED DOWN AND INCLUDED IN FUTURE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS. I SEARCHED THE LITERATURE AND INTERNET AND DID NOT FIND ANY MENTION OF AN ASSOCIATION OF DVT WITH FUSIONS, BUT IT CONCEIVABLY COULD BE RELATED TO ANY ELECTRIC SEAT MANUFACTURER.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 20 MPH, THE CENTER OF MY STEERING WHEEL AND ALL COMPONENTS FELL OUT AND WAS HANGING BY A WIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CENTER UNKNOWN PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO ENGAGE (PUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL) TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR, THE CAR JUST STOOD STILL. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE PROCESS AGAIN AND THEN MOVED FORWARD. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, FROM 15 MPH TO 0 MPH, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. (STORY OF MY LIFE) FROM BEING IN THE BREAK POSITION TO ENGAGING(PUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL) TO GO THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT STILL WOULDN'T ENGAGE, THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR CAME ON AND ALSO COLLISION LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED THE GAS AGAIN TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE CAR STUTTERED. I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR, I DID THIS 3 TIMES UNTIL ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF. MY GOAL WAS TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE MIDDLE LANE IN HORRIFIC TRAFFIC. THE CAR FINALLY MOVED FORWARD, IT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN 5 MINUTES LATER, WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO A STREET. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, THIS TIME IT WAS 2 X. THIS HAPPENED ON SATURDAY AND ON MONDAY MORNING I CALLED FORD TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE. THAT SAME DAY FORD SERVICE SAID THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM, I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT THERE AND GAVE PERMISSION FOR THEM TO DRIVE IT MORE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS. AT THIS TIME I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THAT VEHICLE, I DRIVE A LOT OF MILES IN ALL SITUATIONS, AND I DO NOT TRUST THE CAR AT THIS TIME. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM SERVICE.....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BAFFLES FAILED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE DEALER THAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION WAS NORMAL. THE FAILURE FOR THE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO START WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND SUDDENLY A MESSAGE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK. THE CAR SUDDENLY CUT OFF AND I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ON 9/2/2015. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET DOING ABOUT 40MPH AND I GO THE SAME MESSAGE LIGHT(TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK) AND THE CAR CUT OFF. AGAIN, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER WHERE IT IS NOT BEING CHECKED OUT. I DID GO ONLINE AND FOUND A PREVIOUS RECALL (14V736000; 14C11) FOR A SIMILAR BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I WENT TO REVERSE AND TURN AROUND. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FAILED, BRAKES NO LONGER WORKED, AND I SLOWLY WENT BACK UNTIL I HIT A SMALL CONCRETE PILLAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NOW MULTIPLE TIMES, AT RANDOM SPEEDS AND RANDOM TIMES. IT'S NEVER SET ON A SPECIFIC MOTION OR ACTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THERE WAS A VIBRATING MOTION FROM THE TAIL PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

THE VEHICLE IS A HYBRID PLUS. IT HAS A CHARGE PORT. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCEPT A CHARGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS FROM FRONT TO BACK HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS JOB REQUIRES COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE ENTIRE INTERIOR. ALSO FORD HAS NOT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER OR MYSELF IN 5 DAYS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP - FIRST FOR A FAULTY DASH AND SECOND FOR A BAD AC COMPRESSOR. - VEHICLE HAS 1600 MILES ON IT.

UPON RETURNING FROM A LONG TRIP AND APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM HOME, THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE CAR BEGAN TO VIBRATE HEAVILY AND AS I TURNED A CORNER, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING. THE INFO ON THE DASHBOARD INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE HAD LOST THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL AND I WAS TO SEEK SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. BY DRIVING SLOWLY, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME STEERING MANUALLY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY AND THEY ARRANGED TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THE STEERING GEAR HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THIS DEFECT AND THE FACT THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR NEW ON 6/15/15, I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD FORD WOULD NOT DO THAT. I CONTACTED FORD CORP. AND MY CASE WAS TURNED OVER TO THE REGIONAL MGR. OF THIS AREA AND HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE BOUGHT BACK BUT WOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. AS COMPENSATION MY NEW CAR WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 5 YEARS. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND MYSELF HAD THIS STEERING FAILURE HAD HAPPENED AT THE HIGHWAY SPEEDS WE HAD JUST BEEN TRAVELING AND AM NOW NERVOUS ABOUT THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL OF THIS DANGEROUS, SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE FORD FUSION.

MY 2015 FORD FUSION WAS PARKED OUTSIDE IN OUR COMPANY'S PARKING LOT IN THE MORNING AND UPON RETURNING TO THE CAR IN THE AFTERNOON (TEMP WAS IN THE 90'S) THERE WAS A CRACK ACROSS THE SUNROOF FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE SUNROOF DID NOT EXPLODE WHILE DRIVING AND NO ONE TOUCHED THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED, THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A WIDESPREAD DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE GLASS USED IN FORD'S SUNROOFS AS IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR IF IT SHATTERS, SHOWERING THE DRIVER WITH GLASS.

TRAVELING WEST ON I-696 BEFORE THE SCOTIA RD., OAK PARK, MI OVERPASS AT 8:50PM. MOSTLY SUNNY WEATHER AT ABOUT 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE HIGHWAY JUST STARTED TO CURVE TO THE LEFT. THE LANE-KEEPING ASSIST JERKED THE WHEEL HARD TO THE LEFT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY STILL IN THE CENTER LANE. THIS CAUSED AN OVER-CORRECTION BY MYSELF, THE DRIVER, TO THE RIGHT NEARLY SIDE SWIPING THE CAR NEXT TO ME. CONTACT WAS AVOIDED BUT THE ASSIST MODE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE AREA. THE ASSIST MODE HAS SINCE BEEN DISABLED AND ALERT MODE ONLY IS ON. SENSITIVITY OF THE ASSIST MODE WAS 'NORMAL' AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. APPROXIMATE GOOGLE MAP COORDINATES ARE 42.474883, -83.165321.

2015 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE POWER STEERING RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AT THE TIME HE TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, HE WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY PENDING OR EXISTING RECALLS REGARDING THE STEERING. RECALL # 15V250000.*JB.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V250000 (STEERING) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER SCHEDULED A RECALL APPOINTMENT ON JULY 14, 2015 AND, ONCE THE CONTACT ARRIVED FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, INDICATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR 7 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN AND ON THE 8TH DAY I WENT TO USE IT AND I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN IT WITH THE MANUAL DOOR KEY. I TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD INSTRUMENT AND CAR DID NOT START. THERE WAS NO SOUND OF THE STARTER MOTOR. I TURNED ON THE RADIO AND IT WAS DEAD NOTHING ON THE RADIO PANEL. I REALIZED THAT THE BATTERY MAY BE DEAD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND MEASURE THE BATTERY WITH A DIGITAL MULTI-METER AND THERE WAS ONLY 2 V DC - THE BATTERY NEEDED TO HAVE 12 V DC TO START THE ENGINE. SINCE I HAD A BATTERY, I CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR 3 HOURS AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. I USED THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND LEFT IT PARK FOR 8 DAYS TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN - BUT IT DID NOT. I SAID TO MYSELF THAT IF I HAD LEFT THE CAR AT THE AIRPORT FOR A WEEK AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET HOME WITH THE 2015 FORD FUSION. I SAID TO MYSELF THAT TELLING IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY MAY NOT BELIEVE ME SO THAT IS WHY I AM WRITING THIS REPORT TO NHTSA.

03/2015 LOST CONTROL OF THE BREAKS AND HAD TO USE THE PARKING BREAKS TO ATTEMPT TO STOP ME AND U STILL HIT ANOTHER CAR. 07/09/2015 LOST ALL CONTROL OF BREAKS, INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY TURNED WHITE AND THE MFT TURNED BLACK, MOTOR SHUT OFF. THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST DO A COMPUTER RESET AND IT TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REJECT ME TO PUT MY CHILD IN THIS CAR!

WHILE DRIVING IN A MODERATE RAIN THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT WORK FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP THE WIND SHIELD CLEAN AND TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF VISIBILITY. COULD NOT SEE THE LINES ON THE ROAD AND HAD TO PULL OVER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR SNOWS. VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN!

ON MORE THAN THREE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR COMING TO COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND IT POSES A GRAVE DANGER AND SAFETY RISK. WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED THE CONSOLE DISPLAY READ "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK". AFTER THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ROD BAKER FORD IN JOLIET, ILLINOIS FOR SERVICE (PURCHASE LOCATION). THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THEY DID NOT CONTACT FORD OR TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO FIX THIS SERIOUS DEFECT. MOST RECENTLY ON JUNE 22, 2015, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE......THERE IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT WITH MY 2015 FORD FUSION AND IT MUST BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I ALSO SUGGEST THAT FORD BE INFORMED TO ENSURE THAT OTHER AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EITHER REPAIRED OR REPLACED. ...UPDATED 09/08/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

I LIKE MANY OTHERS AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KEY FOB/IGNITION ISSUE. I AM 5FT9 AND A HEAVIER GUY. I BOUGHT THIS CARE FOR MY WIFE BUT I DRIVE FROM IT FROM TIME TO TIME. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING BOTH ON THE ROAD AND BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY KNEE OR LEG HAS BUMPED THE KEY AND IT HAS TURNED THE CAR OFF. I DREAD TO THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE OR DEATH THAT ISSUE CAN CAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. IF THE KEY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THIS CAN CAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND DEATH. A KEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ROTATE AS EASY AS IT DOES ON THE FUSION. I HAVE HAD OWNED MANY CARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN A KEY TURN IN THE IGNITION AS EASY AS THIS. ALSO THE FAN IS VERY LOUD WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON. THIS KEY ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL NOW BEFORE PEOPLE DIE.

2015 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS PRIMARY CONCERN, WAS VEHICLES STILL BEING SOLD WITHOUT FULL DISCLOSURE REGARDING TAKATA AIR BAGS.* JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE MEDIAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,800.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN FEB. 2015 AND ONCE I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME A LOUD RATTLING NOISE BEGAN TO SOUND OF SLOWLY. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE NEED A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM AND MUFFLER. THE SALES PERSON THAT IT CAME FROM FACTORY THAT WAY. I TOOK A SECOND TIME BECAUSE IT MADE A LOUD EMISSION NOISE AND EVERY TIME THAT THE CAR WAS ON. NOW THE VEHICLE AS ME WORRIED BECAUSE IF IT IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND SINCE DAY ONE IT HAS BEEN MAKING LOUD NOISES. WILL KEEP THIS UPDATED IN CASE IF I HAVE TO TAKE A THIRD TIME. I WILL BE LETTING THE DEALERSHIP KNOW ABOUT THE LEMON LAW IN CALIFORNIA ALSO.

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 27A AT 65 MPH [XXX] REACHED UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, BUMPING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS BUMP CAUSED THE MOTOR TO CUT OFF. [XXX] WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN OUR DRIVEWAY. [XXX] HAD PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AS [XXX] EXPLAINED WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT WAS LOCATED. WHEN [XXX] REACHED UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN HE BUMPED THE IGNITION SWITCH OR KEYS AND THE MOTOR CUT OFF. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE OUR GARAGE AND CONTACTED FORD OF OCALA FOR A SERVICE APPT. ON 5/2 WE DELIVERED THE CAR TO FORD/OCALA. [XXX] SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WE EXPLAINED. THEN [XXX] GOT INTO THE CAR WITH MS. LEATHERS KEYS AND REPEATED SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF BY BUMPING THE KEY/IGNITION SWITCH. [XXX] WAS ANOTHER EMPLOYEE IN THE SHOP WHO WITNESSED THIS HAPPENING. [XXX] SAID HE NEEDED TO CONTACT TROUBLESHOOTING AND THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL MONDAY. 5/4 I CONTACTED FORD/OCALA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WORK WAS DONE, UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT THEY CHANGED THE KEYCHAIN AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ONLY THE KEY CHAIN WE WERE USING WHEN WE WITNESSED THE SHUTDOWN WAS NOT THE ONE FORD/OCALA HAD. I SPOKE TO [XXX] AT FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND SHE SAID WE COULD TEST OUR KEY CHAIN AND THE MODIFIED KEY CHAIN IN THE FUSION. [XXX] WENT ON 5/8 TO TRY THE VEHICLE, WITH THE MODIFIED KEY CHAIN AND [XXX], THE SERVICE MGR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AGAIN, [XXX] REACHED UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN, BUMPED THE IGNITION SWITCH/KEY CHAIN AND THE MOTOR CUT OFF. [XXX] RESPONDED THAT THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO WORK LIKE THAT. SHE THEN SAID WE HAD TO GET THE CAR OFF THEIR LOT. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND NO ONE SHOULD DRIVE IT. THE CAR IS STILL AT FORD OF OCALA. THE IGNITION SWITCH IF BUMPED CAN CUT THE MOTOR OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A CURB AND DAMAGED THE UNDERBODY PROTECTION PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

I PARKED MY CAR, TURNED OFF THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION, EXITED THE VEHICLE, LOCKED IT AND WALKED INTO STARBUCKS. HALFWAY INTO THE STORE I HEARD A CRASH SOUND, TURNED AND DIDN'T SEE MY CAR. IT HAD ROLLED FROM WHERE I PARKED IT ACROSS A PARKING LOT AND HIT A PARKED VEHICLE. IT EASILY COULD HAVE HIT AND HURT OR EVEN KILLED A PEDESTRIAN. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR I NOTICED I HAD INADVERTENTLY LEFT IT IN DRIVE. I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK BUT I FIND IT DISCONCERTING AND DANGEROUS THAT THE CAR PROVIDES NO WARNING WHEN THAT IS DONE. HAD I LEFT THE CAR ON IT WOULD HAVE HONKED WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE. HAD I LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE IN MY HONDA I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. I BELIEVE THAT IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURE AND ONE THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED IN ANY CAR, INCLUDING PUSH BUTTON START CARS. WITHOUT SOME SORT OF SAFETY FEATURE I FEEL IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED BY AN INADVERTENT RUNAWAY CAR. I DID CALL FORD (BOTH THE COMPANY AND THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY SAID THE CAR BEHAVED AS EXPECTED GIVEN WHAT I HAD DONE. I SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT MY NISSAN LEAF, WHICH ALSO HAD A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION, WOULD NOT ROLLAWAY IF I LEFT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF - IT WOULD IN FACT PUT ITSELF INTO PARK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 770.

GOOD AFTERNOON, I WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FORD OR WITH ME. SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. I JUST PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. IT IS BRAND NEW. THIS VEHICLE COMES WITH A FEATURE CALLED "ACTIVE PARK ASSIST." IT IS NEW TO ME AND HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH THIS FEATURE PREVIOUSLY. YESTERDAY, I USED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I TURNED IT ON AND LET IT PARALLEL PARK FOR ME. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS ON THE VEHICLE VIDEO SCREEN AND TOOK MY HANDS OF THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE THEN BACKED INTO THE SPACE AND STRUCK THE CAR PARKED BEHIND. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS STUNNED. THE DIRECTIONS IN FORD'S MANUAL ARE SOMEWHAT, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, UNCLEAR. ON PAGE 180, IT SAYS "THE DRIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING HAZARDS AND MAINTAINING A SAFE DISTANCE AND SPEED, EVEN WHEN THE SYSTEM IS IN USE." ON PAGE 182, THE MANUAL STATES "IF YOUR VEHICLE SPEED EXCEEDS 6MPH, THE SYSTEM SWITCHES OFF AND YOU NEED TO TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE." I'M STILL UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER THE BRAKES ARE OPERATED BY THE VEHICLE DURING PARKING ASSIST OR ME. FOR NOW, I'M NOT USING IT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT THIS. REGARDS, *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE CAR. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WAS STILL OUT. DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS LATER (POWER STEERING WAS OK AT THAT POINT) AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS PROGRAMMED WITH WRONG CODES AND REPROGRAMMED IT. SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN DONE AT THE FACTORY. TEN DAYS LATER ON 4/6/15, POWER STEERING IS OUT AGAIN. SHE WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60MPH AND IT WENT OUT. DROVE CAR HOME APPROX. 10 MILES W/OUT STEERING ASSIST. *TR

I RENTED A 2015 FORD FUSION SE4 FOR 2 WEEKS FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR LOCATION AT 2090 N SR7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021, PH.NO. 954-964-9954. DURING THE DRIVE BACK TO ENTERPRISE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE, MY KNEE BRUSHED UP AGAINST THE FOB DANGLING FROM THE KEYED IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY ROTATED TO THE ACC POSITION FROM THE RUN/ON POSITION AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS IN DRIVE AT THE TIME, SO I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PLACED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ON ARRIVAL AT ENTERPRISE WHILE STOPPED IN THEIR PARKING LOT WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, I WAS ABLE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO ACCESSORY OR OFF WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I DEMONSTRATED THIS SAME PROCEDURE TO THE ENTERPRISE AGENT, BUT FELT THAT NHTSA AND FORD NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE PRIOR TO REPAIRS TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. I EMAILED FORD WITH A SIMILAR REPORT TO THIS ONE. VIN: [XXX] FL TAG # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 FORD FUSION. MY KNEE HAS HIT THE KEY FOB MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE KEY FOB STICKS WAY OUT AND FOR A GUY WHO IS 6FT IT IS VERY HARD TO AVOID HITTING THE KEY FOB WITH MY KNEE. THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE. I TOLD FORD AND THEY DON'T CARE. I TOLD THE DEALER I WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR AND THEY WOULD LET ME. PLEASE FIX THE KEY FOB. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM CHEVY CAMERO'S WERE HAVING. GOOGLE "FORD FUSION FOB KNEE" . *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MARCH 1, 2015. ON MARCH 12, 2015, I WAS DRIVING FROM SAN JOSE (AFTER WATCHING SHARKS GAME) TO SANTA CLARA (MY HOME) ON I-280, IN THE LEFT MOST LANE, WHEN I SAW LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WARNING SAID "ALERT STOP SAFELY", BUT THE TIME I REACHED THE RIGHT MOST LANE, THE CAR LOST POWER AND STOPPED (30 SEC). I PRAYED TO GOD, AS THIS WAS AROUND 9:00PM AT NIGHT ON HIGHWAY. I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS DRIVING ON LAWARENCY EXPRESS WAY, WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED, IT STOPPED. I RAN DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND IT STATES THERE WERE COMPONENTS FAILURE IN ENGINE AND ELECTRIC SYSTEM. I STARTED AGAIN AND WENT HOME. THIS MORNING I GOT IT TOWED AND IT IS WITH SUNNYVALE FORD. OI AM THANKFUL TO GOD, THAT THIS DIDN'T RESULT IN ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF MY LIFE OR MY LOVED ONES. I WILL LIKE THIS TO INVESTIGATED, AS I HAVE READ ABOUT THE IGNITION FAILURE IN GM CARS THAT HAVE COST LIVES. PLEASE ACT IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON I-75 ALMOST TO PERRYSBURG IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. MY CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE, BUT ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH WENT BLACK AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL I WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE. THERE WAS A TRUCK NEXT TO ME IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, I WAITED FOR IT TO PASS AND THEN GOT OVER. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. I THEN WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND RESTARTED MY CAR.

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND DID NOT ALLOW ACCESS TO VEHICLE BY OWNER. EVENTUALLY, OWNER WAS ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH A "DEAD" BATTERY. SEVEN DAYS LATER BLUE CHARGING RING CONTINUOUSLY BLINKED CREATING ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND INDIVIDUALS AND CENTER ELECTRONIC WENT BLANK ELIMINATING BACK UP CAMERA AND SYSTEM CONTROLS AND REMAINED BLANK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND WOULD FLICKER BACK ON (THIS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE.). AGAIN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, CHARGING PORT AND CABLE REPLACED. NEXT MORNING VEHICLE SHOWED A "WRENCH" WARNING SIGN WHICH INDICATES A "POWER TRAIN" ISSUE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS, VEHICLE ENGAGED IN GEAR AND VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR OVER 64 DAYS AWAITING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM EUROPE. *TR

ON ENTRY TO MY DRIVEWAY THE BUMPER SCRAPED THE GROUND AND I'M UNABLE TO PARK IN MY GARAGE FOR THIS REASON NOR CAN I USE MY DRIVEWAY.

RENTED CAR FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL (734)451-2499. CAR LOST POWER ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING. FIRST TIME AROUND 9:00 AM GOING EAST ON 401 IN CANADA, SECOND TIME AROUND 8:00 PM GOING WEST ON 402 IN CANADA. LOST POWER STEERING, ENGINE POWER, POWER BRAKES AND HEADLIGHTS. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND HAD TO PLACE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED CAR WITH IGNITION KEY. RENTAL CAR COMPANY PROVIDES TWO CAR KEYS WITH A BRAIDED CHAIN TO KEEP THE TWO KEYS TOGETHER AND TO DISCOURAGE CUSTOMER FROM SEPARATING THE KEYS (NEED WIRE CUTTERS TO SEPARATE). THE FORD KEYS ARE VERY HEAVY AND HAVE INTEGRATED KEYFOB. TO PREVENT THE KEYS FROM HITTING MY KNEES, I USED A TYWRAP TO PULL THEM CLOSER TOGETHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE HEARD WHEN THE REAR WINDOW WAS OPEN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY THE PRESSURED IN THE VEHICLE WHICH WORSEN THE FASTER THE VEHICLE WOULD GO. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 126,000.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 FORD FUSION AND LIKE IT SO FAR EXCEPT THAT ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER THE PURCHASE; I GOT CAUGHT IN A HARD RAIN. I FOUND THAT THE WIPERS, AT THE HIGHEST SPEED, DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FAST ENOUGH FOR CLEAR VISIBILITY. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45, I SLOWED DOWN TO 25 OR LESS. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, THEY HAD THEIR TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT AND I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM, THEY ALSO COMPARED THEM TO ANOTHER FUSION ON THE PREMISES AND THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS WERE SIMILAR. I AM HOPING FOR A RECALL SOON, BEFORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AND PEOPLE GET HURT. I PERSONALLY WILL NOT DRIVE IN THE RAIN IF AT ALL POSSIBLE; I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FEAR DRIVING A NEW CAR BECAUSE OF RAIN. *TR
