Multiple times, the car will not change gears. Turning the knob to reverse or drive, and the light indicates a gear for one second, then goes back to park. It has happened in parking lots a few times switching from reverse to drive and I need to stop the car and restart it a few times when I am blocking traffic. No warning lights and the car otherwise acts normal. I called Ford, who said they were not aware of any issues and asked me to take it to a dealer

I drove about 11 miles total to get on the interstate, when I was about 7-9miles into my drive, my steering wheel started to lock up. I slammed on my breaks, and kept twisting and turning my steering wheel for about 2 miles to the nearest gas station. I had tons of lights pop up on my dash and they said my steering system is failed. Something along those lines. It said something about my shifter being messed up as well? I have had 0 lights on, 0 warnings, nothing. If I was going any faster than I was I could’ve been seriously injured. I almost ran straight into a bridge before I slammed my breaks on to ensure I wouldn’t hurt myself or wreck the car. Not sure why my steering would just all-of-the-sudden go out? I haven’t had any problems previous to this situation so it’s very unsafe and honestly terrifying. This situation could’ve gone south really fast, if I would’ve been on the interstate it could’ve been fatal.

On the highway we lost the steering assist function. The dash lit up with steering assist failure. Due to this system failing on the highway, I almost had an accident while in a turn, I went across the rumble strips toward the wall and just barley missed hitting the wall. When the power assist failed this made the vehicle harder to control then a standard manual steering car, it took a great deal of force to control the car.

Swollen lug nuts that can’t be removed because they have swollen to be too large for the included jack as well as any other 19mm socket. My 2011 fusion had this problem and I spent approx $200+ to fix for all wheels inc labor (was labor intensive to strip off outer casing of swollen lugs), now my 2017 fusion has the same issue and I cannot out on a spare to replace my completely flat tire- will need to get towed to fix

Loses power .. Cylinder misfire P0301 Diagnostics

I was in my neighborhood heading to the store at the top the street I heard something like a clunky noise sounded like something fell out the bottom then it stopped immediately after no light or anything on to make me think of any issue with my car it started leaking like something broke kind of a burning smell then it wouldn’t move it would come on shift gears but not move at all it’s now been at Ford since last week they are trying to find the problem I guess seems to me like it’s part of the recall with torque converter they left me a voicemail saying it was a lot of metal and maybe the engine not sure

Lug nuts on 2017 Ford Fusion SE swollen/distorted and very difficult to remove from tire. It is available for inspection upon request. There is potential for safety risk due to driving with these damaged lug nuts as one may break, causing the added weight to shift to the other lug nuts, breaking them as well and worst case scenario my wheels comes off while I’m driving. Problem was identified/presented itself during the process of attempting to get state inspection when car failed for rear brakes and independent service member was trying to charge $300 to replace, attempted to change out brakes on own as well as through personal mechanic, which is when true problem with lug nuts came to fruition. Even unable to take them off with included lug removal tool that came with car as well as universal lug wrench. Now in the process of going to get lug nuts inspected, extracted and replaced via professional, independent service center.

Cracked Flexplate on 2.0L EcoBoost motor. Apparently this is a common issue on those Ford motors and it is not a recall, what I think it should be once it is a manufacturing defect and a repair will cost about 4K.

Have had engine light on for months, have taken it in to be fixed and finally I was told it is from coolant intrusion into the cylinder 3 that i would need a new engine. Ford refused to fix it because it has 80k miles on it (bought it used at 56k) I have an extended warranty through the place i boughr it but its been weeks waiting on their decision to fix it or not. 6k to fix a car ive had less than 2 years and this is a know. issue, so well known the warranty place is only allowing new engines to approved cases and the new engines are the same price as rhe rebuilt ones!! Ford knows rhis is an issue, every mechanic i have spoke to knows this is an issue, theres service bulletins but no recall on the 2.0l ecoboost, just the 1.5.. why? Im told recalls dont hit til over a million people are affected or complain? how messed up is that?? meanwhile people like me who have not had the car long either pay or are out a car. Ps there is a class action lawsuit against ford for the 2.0 l so if you own a fusion maybe look into joining! i know i am!!!

My 2017 Ford Fusion 2.0L AWD with ~ 70k mileage car started to show an acceleration hesitation when starting from a stop on Thursday and Friday of the week. The following Monday morning, my car would start to vibrate when at a stop sign or traffic light when in drive. Over the following couple days, the vibration became excessive to the point that the car would vibrate excessively and stall if left in Drive when at a stop. When one is at a stop and puts the car into Park, the engine RPM's immediately surge and then settle down to a normal RPM. There were no warning lamps or messages on the dash. I took the car to my local Meineke on Friday of the same week and they determined that it was a Torque Converter issue and that is something that they could not do. I then took the car to my the nearest Ford Dealership in which they confirmed that the Torque Converter was indeed the issue. They said that they did get Warnings from their obd reader but there are still no warning lamps on the dash. The Ford Dealership filed a claim with Ford as a Torque Converter and/or Transmission are a known issue at this time. My car is the same model year, made at the same factory in the same assembly time as a known recall. My issue is similar to Recall no. 17V427000, but not exactly the same yet. Reference: https://auto-recalls.justia.com/ford/fusion/2017/17v427000/ I drove the following few days while waiting for Ford's approval to proceed with the repair/replacement but now feel the car sporadically surge at highway speeds and it's getting more noticeable over time. Ford declined my car for a recall. If one Googles the same model and issue, there are a LOT of people with the same issue around the same mileage. I'm continuing to hesitantly drive as I need to get to/from work. I'm proceeding with getting the Torque Converter/Transmission replaced via the Ford Dealership at at a cost of ~ $5k as I have no other options at this time.

CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING

THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT MY DRIVEWAY EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP, WRENCH LIGHT, THEN IT JUST DOWNSHIFT HARD STOPPED. CAR CAME TO A HALT AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE. ONCE I GOT THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD, I LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE, THE RUBBER BUSHING WAS GONE. I CAN PICK THE ENTIRE CABLE UP AND DO IT WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT. I'VE LOOKED AROUND AND I AM SEEING MANY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS. THE ONLY SCARY THING IS MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME THIS MORNING WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT THANKFULLY OUR ROAD ISN'T BUSILY TRAVELED ON.

OUT OF NO WHERE, I LOOSE POWER STEERING. MY LIGHT ARE NOW ON- POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF- IT WORKS, BUT LATELY THAT IS NOT EVEN HELPING. IT SEEMS - LIKE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE- SO I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY WANTED 2,000 DOLLARS TO FIX MY LEASE THAT I AM SUPPOSE TO TURN OVER IN 6 MONTHS, BUT I AM SO FAR OVER MILEAGE- I WILL HAVE TO BUY THIS CAR OUT I GUESS. (YA) COME ON FORD! RECALL THE ISSUE!

ONE EVENING WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE AND THEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THE RADIAL DIAL SHIFTER AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO PARK. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AT ALL, AND I SAT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR FOR OVER TWO HOURS. THE ROAD IS SUCH THAT PEOPLE HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH NEIGHBORS' YARDS TO GET AROUND ME. I'M VERY FORTUNATE THAT MY NEIGHBOR IS AN ENGINE MECHANIC AND WAS ABLE TO WALK OVER AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THE SHIFT LINKAGE WAS NOT CONNECTED AND THAT THE BUSHING THAT HOLDS IT ON APPEARED TO BE MISSING. IF IT WERE NOT FOR HIM I MAY STILL BE SITTING IN THE ROAD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF THIS EXACT SAME PART FOR FORD FUSION MODEL YEARS 2013-2016. HOWEVER, MINE IS A 2017 THAT CAME OUT OF THE PLANT IN APRIL OF 2016. THEREFORE, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THE DESIGN OF THIS SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING DID NOT DRASTICALLY CHANGE BETWEEN THE MAKING OF MY VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2016 AND A 2016 MODEL THAT WAS MADE JUST A MONTH OR SO EARLIER WHICH WAS ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND MY DRIVEWAY IS ON AN INCLINE. THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE RESEARCHED SAID THAT WITH THIS ISSUE THE CAR COULD BE STUCK IN NEUTRAL WHEN YOU THINK IT IS IN PARK FOR EXAMPLE, AND MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN IN THEIR CAR SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. THIS IS NOT OK! FORD SAID MY 2017 FUSION WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL AND CHARGED $6 FOR THE BUSHING AND $60 TO INSTALL A PART THAT'S BEEN A RECALL ISSUE ON OTHER MODELS. MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS SURELY ONE OF THE EARLIER 2017 MODELS MANUFACTURED WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS A RECALLED MODEL WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN MADE JUST A MONTH OR TWO PRIOR. I DO HOPE THAT IT'S LOOKED INTO FOR THE 2017 FORD FUSION MODELS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING RECALL.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD FUSION TITANIUM WITH THE 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE THAT HAS 72,890 MILES. I EXPERIENCED ROUGH IDLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED AND SHOWED THE CODE P0302 WHICH IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE PLACE OF BUSINESS WHERE I HAD THE LIGHT CHECKED WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT OF MY EXHAUST UPON START UP AND WAS STILL COMING OUT BY THE TIME I DROVE HOME. I PROCEEDED TO DO MY RESEARCH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS FOLLOWING AND FOUND OUT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD WILL ONLY COVER IF UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY TIME FRAME JUST AS MUCH AS WITH IN THE WARRANTY WINDOW. I PROCEEDED TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING I STATED ABOVE IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE ALONG WITH THE PCM SELF-TEST SHOWING P0217 ENGINE OVER TEMPERATURE CONDITION WAS DETECTED, AND THE ENGINE LONG BLOCK ASSEMBLY DOES HAVE TO BE REPLACED.NOTHING SHOWED UP ON MY DASH TO WARN ME OF OVERHEATING OR ANYTHING OF THE NATURE. ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED.

WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION I WAS HIT ON MY DRIVER'S REAR DOOR AND MY SEATBELT UNLATCHED AND I WAS THROWN OUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR.*DT*JB

AS WE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS RIDING A LITTLE ROUGH AND I HAD RECENTLY GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE SO I KNEW INSTANTLY IT WASN'T THE ENGINE CAUSE IM FAMILIAR WITH ENGINE ISSUES SO, I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION A MID OUR TRAVELS TO A JOB INTERVIEW. I LISTENED FOR ANY UNUSUAL SOUNDS BUT THERE WASN'T ANY. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTED INTO GEAR IT JERKED A LITTLE HARD AND ACCELERATED ABNORMALLY. SO THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID. THINKING THAT WOULD MAKE IT BETTER WHEN RETURNING BACK TO DRIVING IT STARTED OFF REAL GOOD RIDING SMOOTHLY LIKE EVER BEFORE. THEN IT OUT OF NO NEUTRALIZE LEAVING MY FOOT REVING THE ENGINE COASTING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, BREAKS LOCKED ON DRIVERS MAKING ME SWERVE AND TAIL WHIP, WHILE ALONG SIDE OF TRUCKS WITH ME AND FAMILY AT RISK OF OUR LIVES AND OTHERS TAKEN BECAUSE OF A POTENTIAL RECALL. MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND MY VIN A PART OF THIS RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER OFFERED TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIRS. *JS

MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000 MILES ON IT AND ONE DAY, I TURNED IT ON AND IT MADE A ROUGH SOUND STARTING UP. I THEN NOTICED MY CAR WAS SHAKING AND THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON, SO I ELECTED TO NOT DRIVE IT TO ENSURE NO FURTHER DAMAGE COULD OCCUR. I CONSULTED WITH TWO MECHANICS WHO BOTH STATED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM MY SPARK PLUGS, CAUSED BY FLUID IN MY CYLINDERS, AND THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THEY PLUGGED CODE READERS IN THAT INDICATED THAT MY SECOND CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I FOUND MANY OTHER CARS OF MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, SOME OF WHICH STATED FIRES AND OTHER SERIOUS DANGERS AND WERE ALL WITHIN 15,000 MILES OF USAGE AS MY CAR. I AM DISCOURAGED AND DISAPPOINTED BY THE FACT THAT I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR A CORPORATION TO NEGLECT THEIR MISTAKES AND LAND ME WITH A 400 DOLLAR CAR PAYMENT ON A NONFUNCTIONAL VEHICLE THAT COULD'VE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. I INTEND TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH, 2021 TO DISCUSS MY OPTIONS.

OUR 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, REQUIRED THE LUG NUTS TO BE REPLACED ON ALL WHEELS BECAUSE OF SWELLING, CREATING A DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM TO BE CAUSED DO TO POOR ENGINEERING BY FORD BY COMBINING SEVERAL METALS TOGETHER WHEN CREATING EACH LUG NUT THAT OVER TIME FAIL. THESE LUG NUTS SHOULD E RECALLED AND REPLACED AT THE DEALERS COST BY A REPLACEMENT THAT CAN WITHSTAND NORMAL OPERATION.

WHILE TRYING TO REVERSE OR GO INTO DRIVE, MY SHIFT CABLE CAME OFF DUE TO A CAP BEING MISSING ON IT. THE ERROR 'SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT' KEEPS POPPING UP. AND NOW IT HAS EFFECTED MY TRANSMISSION TO THE POINT WHERE MY VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELERATING.

BATTERY KEEP BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD

TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH THE LEFT WHEEL AND HUB FELL OFF CAUSING THE CAR TO CRASH INTO THE PAVEMENT. THIS CAUSED ALOT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND FENDERS. AND THE LINKAGE TO THE RIGHT WHEEL. FORD SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I HIT SOMETHING BUT I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND MY CAR STOPPED DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

CAR RAN ROUGH WHEN FIRST STARTED THEM SMOOTHED OUT, HAPPENED A FEW TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. COOLANT WAS LEAKING IN CYLINDERS #4 AND #3. MECHANIC STATED THIS YEAR CAR THE ENGINE BECOMES POROUS AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE RESTRAINTS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO METRO FORD SALES INC (3601 STATE ST, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304, (518) 868-6157) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE SERVICE RESTRAINTS MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING FEELS LOSE LIKE WHEN I TURN IT FEELS AS IF IT GOING TO STEER MY CAR INTO A CIRCLE. IT IS VERY TOUCHY ON THE STEERING NOT SURE IF IT NEEDS TIGHTENED OR JUST SIMPLY FIXED FROM THE RECALL.

CHANGED MY BATTERY FOR A NEW ONE. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARS AS A WARNING TO CHECK MY MANUAL. CHECKED THE MANUAL IT SAYS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRAIN. I LOOKED UP WHAT THAT MEANS BUT THERE WASN'T A TRUE DEFINITION OF WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAD TO WAIT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MY CAR WOULDN'T LET ME CHANGE IT OUT OF PARK. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED AND THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE PART THAT'S MESSED UP IS ELECTRICAL AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR THE PART TO BE AVAILABLE BUT THE PART MALFUNCTION WASN'T ANYTHING THAT I DID JUST LIKE THE OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS. THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

2.0L ECO BOOST ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO COOLANT LEAK AND FAULTY DESIGN IN ENGINE MANUFACTURING. INITIAL WARNING CODES WAS NEED MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS ISSUE REMAINED. RECOMMEND REPLACING IGNITION COIL MOVED IT TO CYLINDR 1, SAME MESSAGE OF MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2 REMAINED. ROUGH IDLE

NOTIFIED BY DEALER THAT LUG NUTS HAVE 'SWOLLEN' AND ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. THE LUG NUTS SHOULD BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. IF NOT REPLACED, THE LUG NUTS COULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

2017 FORD FUSION SUFFERING FROM A WELL-DOCUMENTED COOLANT LEAK INTO CYLINDERS. WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A LOSS OF POWER AND HAD TO BE TOWED. COOLANT FOUND IN CYLINDERS SEE TSB 19-2436

THE OWNER/MYSELF DRIVING VEHICLE HOME MY 2017 FORD FUSION SE 1.5L ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN WHITE SMOKE BILLOWED OUT FROM THE EXHAUST LEADING TO A SEIZED ENGINE ON A HIGH TRAFFIC DENSITY HIGHWAY. THE CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER, CLUNK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING AS I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS CAR HAD ISSUES BEFORE THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE WITH CYLINDERS MISFIRING, SPARK PLUGS BEING FOULED AT LOW MILEAGE AND ENGINE LOSING COOLANT. PER MY VEHICLES BREAKDOWN I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WORKED FOR FORD AND STATED MY ENGINE LOCKED UP AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AFTER BRINGING MY CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS THE SAME ANSWER AFTER A FULL LOOK AT IT. I TRIED CALLING FORD IN MICHIGAN THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND, MY DEALER FRED BEANS OF FORD GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND SAYING I HAVE TO COVER THIS REPAIR DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF MY WARRANTY. I DID THE PROGRAM 19B37 RECALL FROM FORD WHICH RESET THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANT ENTERING THE ENGINE. CLEARLY, THAT ISSUE THAT FORD TRIED TO PATCH UP DIDN'T WORK. MY MECHANIC & FORD DETERMINED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED AND HAVE FOUND BULLETINS STATING THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT KNOWN BY FORD AS FORD HAD RELEASED THE BULLETINS. THIS DEFECT LEADS TO ENGINE FAILURE AND IS NOTHING CAUSED BY THE DRIVER BUT SOLELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN CERTAIN ENGINES WERE MANUFACTURED THEY WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. FORD IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THIS IS FAULT DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES IF THE ENGINE IS TO STALL OR SEIZE DURING DRIVING THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY, ACCIDENT, AND EVEN DEATH. FORD IS NOT RECALLING THIS ENGINE AT THIS TIME. PLEASE - RECALL THIS ISSUE. 1.5 & 2.0 ENGINES ARE VERY PROBLEMATIC. THE COST FOR MY REPAIR IS $4,800.00 THAT I DON'T HAVE.

I / THE OWNER OF MY 2017 FORD FUSION SE 1.5L HAD A SEIZED ENGINE OCCUR ON MY COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK. WHITE SMOKE BILLOWED AND BREWED OUT MY EXHAUST AS I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING WRONG AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION FOR THE PERSON BEHIND ME.. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY I BROUGHT IT TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC STATING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MY ENGINE BLOCK FAILED & CRACKED. PROCEEDING THIS, I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO GET A SECOND THOUGHT, JUST IN CASE. SAME RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE 1.5L. I WAS QUOTED $4,800 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, MONEY I DON'T HAVE LAYING AROUND, MY WARRANTY RECENTLY EXPIRED AND BOTH FRED BEANS OF LANGHORNE & FORD MOTOR COMPANY BOTH TOLD ME TO "POUND SAND" BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THAT THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS ON ME TO BE FIXED. EVEN THOUGH I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE PROGRAM 19B37 RECALL - WHICH FIXES THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO "PREVENT" THIS ISSUE." THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE LOCAL SHOP FOR CYLINDER MISFIRES, SPARK PLUG FOULS & ENGINE START UP ISSUES. WHICH APPARENTLY ARE LEADING SIGNS TO THE VEHICLE ENGINE BLOCK ISSUE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED AND HAVE FOUND BULLETINS STATING THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT KNOWN BY FORD AS FORD HAD RELEASED THE BULLETINS. THIS DEFECT LEADS TO ENGINE FAILURE AND IS NOTHING CAUSED BY THE DRIVER BUT SOLELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN CERTAIN ENGINES WERE MANUFACTURED THEY WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. SUCH AS THE 1.5L. FORD IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THIS IS FAULT DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES IF THE ENGINE IS TO STALL OR SEIZE DURING DRIVING THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY, ACCIDENT, AND EVEN DEATH. FORD IS NOT RECALLING THIS ENGINE AT THIS TIME. PLEASE RECALL THIS, NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS JUMP STARTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES BY THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWIRE CONNECTION, F33 AND ACM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED.

VEHICLE KEEPS RANDOMLY SHOWING A SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT WHEN I GO TO DRIVE AND A PIECE THAT SHOULD CONNECT TO THE TRANSMISSION TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR KEEPS DISCONNECTING CAUSING THE CAR TO STAY IN PARK AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STAY ON.

WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, 3 WARNINGS APPEAR ON THE DASH: "FRONT CAMERA MALFUNCTION", "PRE-COLLISION ASSIST NO AVAILABLE", "LANE KEEPING MALFUNCTION CHECK". THESE FEATURES SEEM TO WORK WHEN I'M DRIVING, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO FORD, THEY TOLD ME THE IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

BACK IN 2018, 1.3 MILLION FORD FOCUS VEHICLES WERE RECALLED DUE TO A FUEL PURGE VALVE. WHO'S TO SAY THE SAME ISSUE IS STARTING TO OCCUR AGAIN, BUT TO THE FORD FUSIONS? MY 2017 FORD FUSION THAT I PURCHASED 6 MONTHS AGO HAS THIS ISSUE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, DURING MORNING TRAFFIC, MY CAR DECIDES TO TURN OFF CAUSING A ACCIDENT, BUT LUCKILY NOBODY GOT HURT! WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE WAITING FOR THE POLICE TO ARRIVE, I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON, AND LUCKILY IT DID, BUT SURPRISE SURPRISE NOW WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK MY CAR TURNED BACK ON (STILL WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON) AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 4 TIMES ON MY WAY BACK HOME. I DROVE ALL THE WAY BACK ON THE RIGHT HAND PASSING LANE BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A ACCIDENT AGAIN! WHAT IT DID EXACTLY IS IT STARTS LIKE A HUMMING/VIBRATING NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE DASHBOARD, I COULDN'T PUSH ON MY GAS, TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, AND AUTOMATICALLY GOES DOWN TO 0 MPH, AND ON THE DASHBOARD IT ASKED ME TO PUT THE CAR IN P, AND THEN TURNS OFF. OF COURSE THE WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED DIDN'T WANT TO COVER IT, AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $425 TO HAVE THIS FIXED! FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS INJURED!

JUNE 1ST 2020 WHILE DRIVING 55MPH ON A HOT DAY WINDOWS DOWN STEREO BLASTING SUDDENLY THE SPEAKERS SCREECH A DEFENING SOUND AND THEN NOTHING .SCREEN DISPLAYS AUDIO OFF AND WON'T TURN ON. NO MUSIC AND THE PART THAT'S DANGEROUS NO GPS PROMPTS (I GET LOST EASILY) THE NEXT DAY ITS COOLER AND IT WORKS AGAIN. OCTOBER 13TH 2020 THE RADIO DISPLAYS AUDIO OFF AND AND IS STILL OFF AS I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT ON A COOL OCTOBER DAY. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NOW BASICALLY WORTHLESS WITH OUT A FUNCTIONAL AUDIO SYSTEM. I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO EVEN TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM LAST TIME I WENT FOR A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO IT COST $80.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HIS WIFE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE ROLL BACKWARD. THE CONTACT'S WIFE RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE HOWEVER, THE GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED IN NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING HAD DETACHED. A ZIP TIE WAS USED TO ATTACHED THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. UNIVERSITY FORD DURHAM (5001 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (919) 682-9171) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON INDICATING A MISFIRE IN ENGINE 3. FORD DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED NEW SPARKPLUGS AND IGNITION COIL. I COMPLETED THE REPAIR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. AFTER FEW DAYS, THE ENGINE STARTED OVERHEATING SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I CHECKED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR AND IT WAS NEAR EMPTY. PAID FORD AGAIN TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THIS TIME THEY IDENTIFIED COOLANT INTRUSION IN ENGINE 4 CAUSED BY INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK. THE RECOMMENDATION IS A NEW REMAN FORD ENGINE WITH THE ESTIMATE OF $5000.

AFTER 3 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND 81,000 MILES (PURCHASED NEW AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES), VEHICLE'S ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED, RESULTING IN COOLANT CONTAMINATION. FORD'S INVESTIGATION SHOWED CYLINDER #2 AND #3 WERE MISFIRING AND OIL WAS LEAKING IN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, POOR ACCELERATION, AND RUMBLING WHILE IDLING ALL FIRST OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, JUST 2 DAYS AFTER A FORD SERVICE CENTER DID A COMPLETE ENGINE CHECK AND OIL CHANGE. ONCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AT US AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T PUSH PAST 2K RPMS, WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER (AS FORD WARNED US THAT FLASHING INDICATED FUEL WAS DUMPING INTO THE ENGINE). THE FORD DEALERSHIP WE TOWED THE CAR TO HAD NO AVAILABILITY TO FIX THE CAR, AS 4 OTHER FUSIONS WITH THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AND ISSUE CAME IN EARLIER THAT WEEK. THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS A MUCH BIGGER ISSUE THAN WHAT WE BELIEVED WAS A RANDOM BREAK. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT WE COMPLETED THE RECALL FORD ISSUED (CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 19B37) 8,000 MILES PRIOR TO THE ENGINE CRACKING, WHICH WAS TO REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE TO FIX: "COOLANT INTRUSION INTO THE CYLINDER BORES CAN LEAD TO COOLANT LOSS, EXCESSIVE TAILPIPE SMOKE, OR ILLUMINATED MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS DUE TO ENGINE MISFIRE AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE". FURTHERMORE, FORD ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 19-2139 THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THIS EXACT ISSUE AND THE WARNING SIGNS TO LOOK FOR, WHICH FORD FAILED TO IDENTIFY DURING THE ENGINE CHECK 2 DAYS PRIOR. IT'S CLEAR THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE 1.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE FOR 2014-2019 FUSIONS, AND I'M CONFIDENT YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. FORD ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WITH RECALL 19B37, THOUGH IT'S APPARENT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FORD IS JUST TOO CHEAP TO TRULY FIX THE MESS THEY CREATED.

BACKUP CAMERA ONLY PERFORMS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME THE IMAGE APPEARS DISTORTED OR NOT SHOW AT ALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE JULY 2020. THERE IS NEVER ANY SPECIFIC MOMENTS THAT CAUSE THE CAMERA TO NOT PERFORM SUCH AS TYPE OF ROADS DRIVEN DOWN, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, WEATHER OR TIME OF DAY, IT IS JUST OCCURS SPORADICALLY.

SHIFT DIAL GET STUCK IN PARK, WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK EVEN WITH THE OVERRIDE, HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE, BOTH TIMES THERE WAS "NO PROBLEMS," AND THE SHOP ALWAYS IT WORKS WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DROPS IT OFF. IT HAPPENS ON AND OFF, NEVER GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE OR THROWS A CODE. COULD BE DRIVING ONE MINUTE, GET HOME, SHUT THE CAR OFF, A COUPLE HOURS LATER GET BACK IN, AND IT DOESN'T SHIFT ANYMORE. IT'S EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND CONSIDERING THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS "THIS HAPPENS A LOT" I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T RECALL THE FAULTY CABLE OR RELAY OR TRANSMISSION OR SHIFT DIAL IF IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE AFTER TAKING IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS, THEY ALL HAVE NO ANSWER TO THE ISSUE, JUST TO "DEAL WITH IT". AND THE FACT THAT THE OVERRIDE DOESN'T WORK IS A BIG PROBLEM. BUT FORD DOES THEIR THING AND I GUESS WON'T RECALL SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS A PROBLEM ON MANY OF THEIR 2017 FORD FUSION SE'S EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I GUESS THAT'S FORD, MORE ABOUT PUMPING CRAP CARS OUT THAN THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THEM SAFE WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS ON MULTIPLE 2017 FORD FUSIONS.

VEHICLE CODES STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD ( TEMP LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT) WARNING SIGNS ALSO APPEARED ( OVERHEATING IN ENGINE ) ENGINE COOLANT STARTED TO DECREASE NO LEAK WAS DETECTED. IT WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO GET EVALUATED AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY INTO THE CAR WHICH CAUSED OTHER ISSUES. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FEBRUARY 2020 SO 8 MONTHS LATER THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY CRASHED. WHITE SMOKE IS ALSO EXPELLING FROM THE VEHICLE EXHAUST. THE SPARK PLUGS ARE BURNING UP THEY WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 8 DAYS AGO AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY BURNED WHITE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH 3 CODES P051B PERTAINING TO THE CRANKCASE PRESSURE SENSOR, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I'VE NOTICED THAT THE 1.5L ECOBOOST 2017 FORD ESCAPE HAS A RECALL BUT NOT THE 1.5L ECOBOOST 2017 FORD FUSION, THE SYSTEM FAILED TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. RECALL NEEDED DUE TO FAULT OF FORD MANUFACTURING/EQUIPMENT. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON DURING ONE OF MY DAILY COMMUTES BACK HOME FROM UNIVERSITY.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ON GORDON DR IN RUSTON, LOUISIANA WHEN AN ANIMAL ENTERED THE ROAD SO I STEERED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID THE ANIMAL AND SUDDENLY LOSS CONTROL OF STEERING. THIS CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO A DITCH WITH A CEMENT DRAIN. MY CAR PROCEEDED TO DRAG ON THE GROUND SO I DID NOT DRIVE IT AND REPORTED IT TO INSURANCE AND IT WAS DECLARED TOTALED.

BRAKE FAILURE! BRAKE HOSE AT PASSENGER FRONT TIRE BURST AT 55,000 MILES. HOSE FAILURE AT CONNECTION. DEALER / FORD REFUSED WARRANTY ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PART FAILURE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, BRAKES FAILED TO WORK, DROVE INTO MEDIAN AND BRAKE FLUID POURED OUT INTER RIGHT FRONT TIRE.

DRIVING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR SHUT DOWN. NO POWER AND NO BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER AND CAR AUTOMATICALLY WENT FROM D INTO P ON ITS OWN ONCE IT CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. CAR RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO FINISH TRIP WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

I WAS IN A THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVE THRU AND I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY GEAR SHIFTER WAS FLASHING IN ALL THE GEARS AND ON THE DASH IT WAS SAYING SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED. I COULDN'T PUT IT IN ANY GEAR. IT WOULDN'T START UNTIL SOME GUY CAME OVER AND SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIS FORD FUSION. HE KNEW HOW TO GET IT BACK IN PARK AND SHOWED ME WHAT HAPPENED. HE HAS SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PART.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FUSION 2.0 ECO BOOST WITH 77,000 MILES THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON.THE LIGHT WENT OFF A FEW DAYS LATER BUT I HAD ALREADY MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. THEY'VE ALSO DONE ALL OF THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND INJECTORS CLEAND, SO THEY DID THE WORK AND CHARGED ME $400. AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, I RETURNED THE CAR TO THEM. IT'S 2000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRRANTY I PURCHASED. AFTER THEY HAD IT A FEW DAYS THEY DETERMINED IT HAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYCLINDER NUMBER 1. THE REPAIR WAS $6,236.92 TO FIX. I WAS ABLE TO PERSUADE THE DEALERSHIP INTO HAVING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY PAY HALF. MY PART WAS $3236.92

IT STOPPED WHILE I WAS IN MOTION , I COULDN'T BRAKE, THERES WAS NOTHING COULD DO BUT JUST LET THE CAR STOP ON ITS OWN. THE BATTERY LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON, AND IT DIDNT START. SO I TRIED AGAIN, AND THE CAR STARTED, I WAS ALE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFE. BUT THIS IS A HAZARD, I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR, I WILL LIKE THIS CAR TO BE RECALLED. I SAW IN 2017 IN JULY ABOUT FIVE THOUSANDS 2017 FORDS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. IM SCARED AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

ENGINE COOLANT LEAKED INTO MULTIPLE CYLINDERS AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND HAS BEEN KNOWN BY FORD FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS THE ECOBOOST ENGINE IN A 2017 FORD FUSION PLATINUM. NOW THE ENGINES ARE ON BACK ORDER SO IT WILL TAKE MANY WEEKS TO GET REPLACED. THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS A RENTAL CAR FOR 10 DAYS.

I WAS CLOSE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SO I DECIDED TO GO THERE. NOT LONG AFTER THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTS TO GO UP. ONCE L ARRIVED AT THE FORD DEALER WHERE I ALWAYS GO FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE AND AFTER 3HRS I WAS ASKED IF THEY COULD KEEP MY CAR OVERNIGHT TO DO A COOLANT CHECK. I SAID YES AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODE 301 WAS A SPARK PLUG THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED BUT THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A COOLANT LEAK AND ITS LEAKING IN MY ENGINE AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. OVERALL I NEED A NEED ENGINE AND THE CAR IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. FORD WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE PROBLEM.

HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ON MY 2017 FORD FUSION SE WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES AND THERE WAS A MISFIRE ON THE FIRST 1000 REVOLUTIONS AND IT WAS ON CYLINDER 2. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT COOLANT GOT INTO THE CYLINDER AND IT CAUSED MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE AND I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WILL GET A REFURBISHED ONE FOR MY $100 DEDUCTIBLE BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD GET A BRAND NEW ONE. ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE GARBAGE. ONE AND DONE WITH THOSE. ILL NEVER BUY A FORD WITH AN ECOBOOST ENGINE AGAIN. TOYOTA IS MUCH MORE RELIABLE AND PERFECTS THINGS UNLIKE AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES THAT ONLY CARE ABOUT QUARTERLY SALES. I WONT GET MY CAR FOR 2 TO 6 WEEKS THEY SAID BUT DID GET A LOANER CAR. IM GOING TO TRADE THAT IN ASAP

NOTHING YET HAPPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CALLED A 'GHOST' CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WOULD POP ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN WENT AWAY. I ALSO REALIZED THE CAR IS NEEDING A FREQUENT REFILL FOR COOLANT.

2017 FORD FUSION 71,000 MILES, COOLANT LEAK INTO CYLINDER 3. MANY FORUMS STATING SAME PROBLEM IN FUSIONS AND FORD EDGE. RESULTING IN NEW ENGINE PURCHASE OR $8K REPAIR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION I NOTICED POWER LOSS. FORD WOULD NOT HELP IN ME IN ANY WAY FINANCIALLY OR WAVING ANY FEE.

COOLANT GOT INTO THE CYLINDER DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MOTOR. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS OFFERED TO TRY AND PREVENT THE PROBLEM BUT THE DAMAGE HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. THE CAR HAS 65000 MILES AND IS 5000 OVER THE WARRANTY. FORD WAS CONTACTED BY MYSELF AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT HELP AT ALL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THEN AT AROUND 60000 MILES THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND OFF. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THE CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BADLY UPON START UP. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS ISSUED AND I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MOTOR AND FORD HAS YET TO OFFER A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RED MCCOMBS FORD LOCATED AT 8333 I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78230, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE CYLINDER AND CAUSED THE ENGINE MISFIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

THE CAR DROVE AS EXPECTED UNTIL AROUND 80K MILES. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED WITH THE CODE: P0302. THIS SHOWS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2. THE CARS COOLANT WAS RECENTLY REFILLED AND UPON INSPECTION AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS AGAIN EMPTY. THE CAR WAS KEPT UP ON MAINTENANCE AND DIDN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION PRIOR. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER, CAUSING IT TO MISFIRE. THE CAR PROMPTED ME TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE ENGINE BECAUSE THIS ISSUE WAS MAKING IT OVERHEAT. THE CAR REMAINS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS IT IS TOO FRAGILE TO DRIVE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR ON OCTOBER 21ST OF 2019. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR BASICALLY SENSE PURCHASING IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 54,000 MILES. I WAS UP TO ABOUT 74,000 WITH THE NEED TO REPLACE A MOTOR. I DID SO, BEFORE I REPLACED THE MOTOR THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. I CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR BELIEVING THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE, I ALSO REPLACED THE BELT WITH IT THINKING I MIGHT AS WELL. STILL BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. SO I EVEN WENT AND CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STILL A BATTERY LIGHT. I HAVE DUMPED NOTHING BUT MONEY INTO THIS CAR SENSE PURCHASING IT. I HAVE BEEN READING NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THESE 2017 FORD FUSIONS ANS BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS BECAUSE SO MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AND NOW I BELIEVE THE ECM IS GOING TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING A NEW CAR WOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR MY FAMILY AND TO GO BACK AND FOURTH TO WORK WHICH HAS BEEN NOT THE CASE. I HAVE HAD OLD WAR HORSE TRUCKS WITH OVER 200K MILES RUN AND DRIVE BUT KNEW THEY WOULD NEED TO UPGRADED TO A NEWER FAMILY CAR. I REALLY DO NOT THINK FORD IS TAKING ACCOUNT FOR THE REAL ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING WITH THEIR NEW VEHICLES THEY ARE SELLING TO THE PUBLIC WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING AND WITH CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT JUST ISN'T RIGHT. BASIC MAINTENANCE IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT TO HAVE ALL OF THESE ISSUES JUST SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE.

TURNED CAR ON AND IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED THE SHIFT SYS FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED WARNING. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AS WELL AS THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT GO OFF. ATTEMPTED TO UTILIZE THE KEY HOLE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE, DID NOT ASSIST AT ALL. TOW TRUCK MOVED CAR TO THE HOUSE FOR US. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY DURING THE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE INTO DRIVE.

MY 2017 FORD FUSION SE IS EXPERIENCING A P0301 ENGINE CODE ALONG WITH MAJOR COOLANT LOSS. THE ERROR CODE RELATES TO AN ENGINE MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. THERE IS ALSO WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2018 AND HAS 69,000 MILE ON IT. UPON STARTING THE CAR IDLES VERY ROUGH FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN SMOOTHS OUT. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN VERY POOR AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING HIGH ENGINE TEMP ALERTS AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO BRANFORD FORD IN BRANFORD CT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 1 AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE COST TO REPLACE IS $5700.00!! THIS A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR THAT NEEDS AND ENGINE REPLACEMENT?!? I DID A TON OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS JUST LIKE THIS, SOME IN WARRANTY AND SOME NOT. FORD DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE 1.5 LITER ENGINE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO BASICALLY I AM BEING TOLD I AM STUCK WITH THE BILL. I AM LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE FROM FORD TO REPLACE THIS ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE CONSUMERS BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN "ENOUGH" DOCUMENTATION TO WARRANT ACTION BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOB GILLINGHAM FORD (8383 BROOKPARK RD, PARMA, OH 44129, 216-539-9191) HOWEVER, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE SHIFTER CABLE DETACHMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,100.

THE AIRBAG SIGN KEEPS ON WITHOUT ANY REASON. I'VE SEEN THERE IS RECALL FOR AIRBAG (TAKATA) ISSUE. 2012-2016. MY CAR IS MANUFACTURED IN 2016 AND REGISTERED IN 2017. THEY SAID ITS 2017 MODEL.

CAR KEPT GIVING US A FLAT CODE FOR GEARS....SAYING TRANSMISSION WASNT IN PARK.CAR WOULDNT START OR SHIFT GEARS...THIS HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FROM MY CAR ALL OF SUDDEN STOPPED, AND SHIFTED BACK TO PARK. MAINTENANCE LIGHT WAS ON AND MESSAGE SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT. I TURNED OF MY CAR AND BACK ON SAME THING, TRIED THE MANUAL OVERRIDE IT DID THE SAME THING. TOW TRUCK ENDED UP DRAGGING MY CAR ON TO THE TOW TRUCK BED. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT DOING IT.

CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER UPHILL, AND EVEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR DID NOT HELP. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, AND GOT WORSE. EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM ENOUGH TO GET HOME, ALTHOUGH HILLS REMAINED AN ISSUE (CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET TO 70, AND EVEN THE SMALLEST HILL WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SLOW TO AROUND 40-45 MPH). CAR CURRENTLY IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT MIGHT STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM HERTZ. STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND HAS LOTS OF PLAY WHEN GUIDING THE WHEEL. RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MY VIN.

COOLANT LEAK ENGINE, NEEDS NEW ENGINE. THE CAR HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

IN HEAVY RAIN, THE HIGH SPEED OF THE WIPERS IS WAY TOO SLOW... MAKING IT UNSAFE TO SEE EVEN WHEN PRUDENCE OF SLOWING DOWN AND/OR POSSIBLY CONSIDERING PULLING OVER. ONE CANNOT SEE SAFELY ENOUGH TO SEEK A PULL OVER SPOT DURING THE IMMEDIACY OF THE SITUATION.. THUS ONGOING TRAVEL IS THE ONLY OPTION. WIPERS BLADES ARE GOOD. WINDSHIELD IS CLEAN. RAIN SHEETING / BLURRING OF VISION HAPPENS BECAUSE WIPERS AREN'T ABLE TO MOVE FAST ENOUGH

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO AS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED FROM SHEEHY FORD IN ASHLAND, VA. SINCE THEN THE BATTERY HAS BEGUN DRAINING FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING STILL. I WENT TO LEAVE WORK A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT ON IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT IN TO GO HOME I WAS UNABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME LAST WEEK AFTER MAKING A TRIP TO GA TO VISIT FAMILY. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO VA FROM GA WITHOUT PURCHASING ANOTHER BATTERY. MY UNCLE WHO WORKS ON VEHICLES, HOOKED MY FUSION UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AFTER TAKING OUT VARIOUS FUSES AND THE CAR STILL HAD A VERY HIGH DRAIN ON MY BATTERY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A STANDING ISSUE WITH SEVERAL FORD FUSION OWNERS. FORD NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. HAVING DRIVERS STRANDED ON THE ROAD IS NEVER GOOD. IF I COULD I WOULD RETURN THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE NOT FROM FORD. *TR

I HAVE A 2017 FUSION REMOTE START AND I'VE BEEN TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS/ENGINE.CAR STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WON'T GO OVER 20 MILES THEN IT KICKS BACK UP. SMOKE COMING OUT OF TAIL PIPE

INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK IN 2.0L FORD FUSION SE ECOBOOST CAUSED MY CAR'S ENGINE TO LOCK WITHOUT WARNING. NO START. CURRENTLY, THERE EXISTS PROGRAM 19B37 FOR 1.5L. MY 2.0L FORD FUSION SE ECOBOOST PRESENTED THE EXACT INTERNAL COOLANT LEAKAGE PROBLEM AS THAT OF THE 1.5L THAT IS PRESENTLY ON RECALL. MY PREVIOUS SPARK PLUGS CONFIRM THAT COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. ALSO, A COOLANT PRESSURE TEST WILL REVEAL COOLANT LEAK IS INTERNAL IN MY CAR. BIG STAR FORD CONFIRMED THAT MY ENGINE IS LOCKED AND THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR DAMAGE. I'M A PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OWNER AND ONLY BUY OEM PARTS. I ALSO HAVE AN ENGINEERING BACKGROUND. THIS INTERNAL COOLANT ISSUE IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. BECAUSE THE ISSUE STEMS FROM AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE, 2.0L SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM 19B37 RECALL. IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ON A SIDE NOTE, I HAD PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY CAR TO BIG STAR FORD BECAUSE THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE PCM. TIRES WERE SHOWING TO BE DEFLATING AS I DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE NEAREST TIRE SERVICE COMPANY AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH. BIG STAR FORD REINSTALL THE PCM SOFTWARE AT THE COST OF MY DEDUCTIBLE. NHTSA, WE 2.0L OWNERS NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND INCLUDE 2.0L TO THE EXISTING PROGRAM 19B37. I PERSONALLY HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK CAUSED MY ENGINE TO LOCK. A COOLANT PRESSURE TEST WILL ALSO REVEAL THE COOLANT LEAK IS INTERNAL. PLEASE HELP GET 2.0L INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL PROGRAM 19B37. *TR

BATTERY CONTINUES TO DRAIN AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS DEAD TWICE IN OCT AND NOV. IN DECEMBER BATTERY REPLACEMENT. HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 2 MORE TIMES SINCE WITH DEAD BATTERY. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT WANT TO BE FIXED BY FORD. THEY CONTINUE TO JUST JUMP IT AND SAY IT'S OK. *TR

WHEN REENTERING THE CAR AFTER A GROCERY SHOPPING TRIP, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD CLOSE BUT NOT LATCH. THE CATCH FOR THE LATCH MOVES FREELY BUT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO SECURE THE DOOR FAILED. MY HUSBAND TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO SECURE THE DOOR SO WE COULD LEAVE THE PARKING LOT AND DRIVE HOME. ULTIMATELY, BECAUSE IT IS A HOT, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, HE OPTED TO SIT IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND MOVED OUR TEEN DAUGHTER TO THE FRONT SEAT SO HE COULD HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED ON OUR DRIVE HOME. WE MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT AND HE TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED TO SECURE THE DOOR PROPERLY WITHOUT SUCCESS.

THE ELECTRIC CHARGER THAT PLUGS INTO THE 120V WALL OUTLET IS OVER HEATING ON EVERY CHARGE. STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. *TR

ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE SUDDEN STOP. I TOOK IT TO RUSTY ECK FORD IN WICHITA KS TODAY 6/12/20 AND GOT IT FIXED. THEY MADE MENTION THAT THIS HAS BEEN COMMON WITH OTHER FUSIONS SO I FIGURED I SHOULD REPORT THIS ISSUE TODAY. *TR

NEVER STARTED AND THIS TIME ALL LIGHTS CAME ON. MADE A TICKING SOUND. DIDN'T TURN OVER EITHER TIME TRYING TO START. WENT TO THE STORE EARLIER IN THE DAY THOUGH, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

CAR STALLED AFTER ACCELERATING MODERATELY HARD INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND THEN QUICKLY TURNING LEFT INTO PARKING LOT.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS A BUMP RIGHT TIRE SEEMS TO SHAKE, WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT I HEAR A SCRAPE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AND ON PARKING, A RATTLING NOISE GOES OFF.

WE WENT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS REPORTED TO US FROM A FORD SALESMAN THAT THIS CAR HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT ENTERING THE ENGINE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE SEIZING ABRUPTLY AT ANY TIME. WE HAD BEEN OBSERVING FOR QUITE A WHILE (4 TO 5 MONTHS) THAT THE ENGINE SMOLKED A BLUEISH SMOKE EVERY MORNING.

I BOUGHT MY FORD FUSION USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO LEAVE AND MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEHOW I LEFT SOMETHING ON TO I JUMPED IT AND WENT ON. 4 DAYS AFTER I WENT TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND I DIDN'T DRIVE MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND WENT TO LEAVE AND IT WAS DEAD AGAIN WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE IS A FAULT OR SOMETHING IS NOT TURNING OFF LIKE IT SHOULD WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. I HAVE READ THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION NEEDED REBUILT. TORQUE CONVERTER AND VALUE BODY WENT OUT.

COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE. ENTIRE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

INTERNAL COOLANT CONSUMPTION ISSUE CAUSING SPARK PLUG FOULING

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON SAYING THAT ITS ENGINE MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. . MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WE REPLACED THE COIL AND IT DID IT AGAIN.

RECALL 19B37 TO REPROGRAM THIS ISSUE. I SCHEDULED THE UPDATE TO BE DONE AND FORD TELLS ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE NOW. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM FORD AS TO HOW THEY WILL HELP, SEEING AS THOUGH I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEIR DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A YER AGO BUT HAVE NO WARRANTY. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AS WELL FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY SINCE IT IS PART OF THE RECALL.

ENGINE OVERHEATED AND STARTED ON FIRE COMPLETELY DESTROYED . VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT AND WAS RECENTLY 22 DAYS PRIOR COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR A ENGINE COOLANT RECALL.

WHILE MY 2017 FUSION SE WAS IN MOTION I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LAMP INDICATING THAT I HAD A MISS-FIRING CYLINDER AND ANOTHER LAMP TELLING ME "ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE". WHEN THE LAMP COMES ON IT REDUCES ENGINE TORQUE AND VEHICLE SPEED, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ABOUT 25 MPH. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $2,500 TO REMOVE THE HEAD TO LOOK FOR COOLANT WAS IN THE CYLINDER, $4,500 TO REPLACE WITH A USED ENGINE. I LATER TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HAD SENSOR FOR ENGINE COOLANT REPLACED. THE CAR SEEM TO DRIVE WITHOUT AN ISSUE, BUT AFTER A WEEK, THE PROBLEM RETURNED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

FORD FUSION IS NOT OPERABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. REVIEWED PREVIOUS INCIDENT REPORTS FOR 2017 MODEL IDENTIFYING PLASTIC BUSHING HOLDING THE SHIFT LINK CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. FORD FUSION MODEL 2016 AND EARLIER RECALLS FOR THE SAME PLASTIC BUSHING FAILURE, ALONG WITH MY WIFE'S 2014 FORD ESCAPE HAVING A RECALL FOR THE SAME PLASTIC BUSHING. WHY DOES THIS DEFECTIVE PLASTIC BUSHING REMAIN IN USE AFTER YEARS OF RECALLS?

MY FUSION ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF AND DOESN'T WANT TO TURN BACK ON, SHOWING ME A NEEDS NEW BATTERY AND NEEDS SERVICE WARNING. IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT BACK ON SOMETIMES TAKING MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO THE MAC HAIK FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL. AS IF THE CAR TELLING ME IT NEEDS A NEW BATTERY, WHILE THE NEEDS SERVICE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, AND THEN TURNING ITSELF OFF IS NORMAL. MY CAR IS DYING AT STOP LIGHTS LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH CARS HONKING AT ME AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. THEY TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME AS IS AND I TOLD THEM TO GIVE IT TO A BETTER MECHANIC AND THEY ARE CHECKING IT AGAIN. I LOOKED ONLINE IN FORUMS AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND FORD DOESN'T EVER FIX IT. HTTPS://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/AUTO-STARTSTOP-ERROR-437920/INDEX4/

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT STRUCTURE. DURING THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKING MECHANISM BECAME JAMMED AND THE DRIVER COULD NOT IMMEDIATELY EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. LIBERTY FORD BRUNSWICK (3101 CENTER RD, BRUNSWICK, OH) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHEN BACKING FROM A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT TO ANY GEAR OR NEUTRAL. NO WARNING OR INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM, IT JUST QUIT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE SHIFTER KEPT RETURNING TO PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE! VERY DANGEROUS. MECHANIC SAID THE SHIFT CABLE BROKE. I SEE ON HERE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE WAS A RECALL UP TO THE 2017 MODELS. I THINK FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2017 MODELS FOR THE SHIFT CABLE AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. CAR HAS 80K MILES. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 66K MILES. 2017 FORD FUSIONS ARE AWFUL AND DANGEROUS! DO YOUR CUSTOMERS MATTER, FORD?

I HAVE A 2017 FORD FUSION AND THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING CAME APART CAUSING MY CAR TO BE STUCK IN REVERSE. I COULD NOT START MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT BECAUSE THE DASH SHOWED THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE ALTHOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. MY CAR WAS TOWED THROUGH FORD ROADSIDE. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE TOW AND THE REPAIR THROUGH FORD. I WAS TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NONE OF THIS IS COVERED BY THE RECALL 19S16. CURRENTLY THE RECALL IS FOR 2013-2016 CARS. MY CAR WAS MADE AT THE SAME HERMOSILLO MEXICO PLANT AS THE OTHER CARS WITH THE RECALL. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IN 2016. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MY CAR COULD HAVE ROLLED AWAY IN PARK CAUSING INJURY. A NEW PLASTIC BUSHING WAS INSTALLED ON THE SHIFTER CABLE BUT I'M WORRIED IN ANOTHER TWO YEARS THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AFTER WEAR.

THE REAR SEATBELTS RATCHET DOWN CONTINUOUSLY CAUSING THE REAR PASSENGERS TO HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF AND REBUCKLE THEM.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON, DEALERSHIP SAID THE RCM NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

BRAKE ARE NOT WORKING

IF I TURN ON MY ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE AND TURN MY CAR OFF BY THE TIME I WAKE UP MY CAR BATTERY WILL BE DRAINED

ERROR MESSAGE ON INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYS "TEMPORARILY LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIMATE SYSTEM" WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CLIMATE SYSTEM, RADIO, WINDOWS, AND SEAT CONTROLS STOP WORKING, THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND CAN LAST AS LONG AS A WEEK. MANY OWNERS WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORD MODELS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND DRIVING UP A HILL, THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO OPERATE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RIO VISTA FORD (1010 CA-12, RIO VISTA, CA 94571, (707) 374-6411) WHERE THEY AGREED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FAULTY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND APPROACHING TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CLIPPED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SUSTAINED FRONT END DAMAGE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY A $1,000 DEDUCTIBLE TO THE AUTO BODY SHOP TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MEANT TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG VALLEY FORD (HIGHWAY M-28, EWEN, MI 49925, 906-988-2323) WHERE THEY WERE INITIALLY UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK A MECHANIC TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A COMPUTERIZED BRAKING MODULE DEFECT AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC NEWER STYLE VACUUM PUMP FAILED IN MY 2017 FORD FUSION ALMOST REAR ENDED A TRUCK WHILE DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS TALKED TO A FEW FORD DEALERS THAT TOLD ME IT WOULD BE OVER A WEEK BEFORE I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET MY CAR SERVICED. SO I STARTED TO TEST MY MY PARTS GOT A P0012 AND P0014 CODE AND PINPOINTED A DESTROYED VACUUM PUMP THAT HAD NO SUCTION.BREAKS ASSISTANCE WAS LOST

2017 FUSION IS ONCE AGAIN BACK TO MAKE A SECOND ATTEMPT TO FIND WHY THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. I HAVE PICS OF EACH TIME THAT IT AS COMPLETELY DIED AND I HAD TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY. THE LAST TIME IT WAS SITTING ON MY DRIVEWAY FOR 5 DAYS AND IT COMPETELY DRAINED THE BATTERY. I HAD TO PUT A CHARGER ON IT OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE TRUNK THEN I HAD TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY FOR OVER 8 HOURS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO TAKE THIS PROBLEM TO THE TO THE DEALER EACH TIME BUT I AM GOING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN THIS WEEK 9-23-2019 TO SEE IF THEY CAN LOOK INTO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO US THAT FORD DOES NOT RECALL THESE CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND STALLED. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, THE "SHIFT SYSTEM FAULTY" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE CONNECTOR WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. PIONEER FORD (150 HWY 27 NORTH BYPASS, BREMEN, GA 30110) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MANLEY'S BELVIDERE FORD LINCOLN (1800 N STATE ST, BELVIDERE, IL 61008, (815) 544-2138) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-22298025. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,108.

MY CAR WILL NOT SAY IN GEAR IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN PARK NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT'S IN. I WAS ON THE CITY STREET WHEN THAT HAPPEN. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 30 MINUTES FOR IT TO DO ANYTHING. ONCE I GOT IT PARKED IT DID IT AGAIN. ON THE SCREEN IT SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT. AT ONE POINT IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S NOT A RECALL ON THAT WHEN IT SHOULD BE. I COULD'VE BEEN DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAD CHANGED GEAR. MY KIDS AND I COULD'VE GOT SERIOUSLY HURT.

THE FORD "SYNC 3" SYSTEM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE BRAINS OF NEARLY ALL INTERIOR CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING IN MULTIPLE FORD MODELS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. THING AFFECTED INCLUDE ALL HVAC CONTROLS, AUDIO CONTROLS, POWER SEATS, WINDOWS, REMOTE START ABILITIES AND MORE. FORD AWARE OF THE MALFUNCTIONS IN CURRENT AND PREVIOUS MODELS, YET THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE ANY RECALL OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE DEALERSHIPS INSIST THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER HAVING BEEN SHOWN VIDEOS OF THE CARS MALFUNCTIONS. A QUICK SEARCH THROUGH ONLINE FORD FORUMS WILL THIS ISSUE IS WIDELY EXPERIENCED AND THAT IT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE PARKING BRAKE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBIN FORD INC. (100 N MACDADE BLVD, GLENOLDEN, PA 19036, (610) 586-3600), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING BUT WAS NOT BAD UNTIL THE CAR GEARED DOWN IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE TROUBLE INDICATOR WAS A "WRENCH" WHICH INDICATED A POWER TRAIN ISSUE. I GOT THE CAR BACK HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR A 2017 FORD FUSION, WITH 66,238 MILES. COST OF REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $4875 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. CURIOUS AS TO HOW A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE HAS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT'S SON OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO SHEEHY FORD (LOCATED AT 10601 MIDLOTHIAN TPKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235, 804-378-3697) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,223.

2017 FUSION IS ONCE AGAIN BACK AT THE DEALER TO MAKE A THIRD ATTEMPT TO FIND WHY THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. EACH TIME 10/DEC/18, 11/JAN/19, AND 18/AUG/19 THE VEHICLE DID NOT START IT WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. IT ALSO TOOK HOURS TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY TO GET IT STARTED TO DRIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO US THAT FORD DOES NOT RECALL THESE CARS.

MY 2017 FORD FUSION HAD A LOW TIRE SENSOR LEAK. UPON AN INITIAL FORD DEALER INSPECTION TO INVESTIGATE THE TIRE LEAK FORD DEALERSHIP REVEALED TO ME THAT MY CAR HAD NO COOLANT LEFT IN IT & ENGINE WAS HEATING UP & WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. FORD CONDUCTED A PRESSURE TEST OF THE ENGINE & I WAS TOLD NEEDED A NEW ENGINE REPLACEMENT. NEEDLESS, TO SAY THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE & APPEARS I THE CONSUMER AM OUT OF $24,000 DOLLARS PAID & DEMAND FORD MANUFACTURER RESTITUTION!

I HAVE A 2017 FORD FUSION. MY ISSUE IS THE THE SHIFTER LINK CABLE. THERE IS A LITTLE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT HOLDS THE CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL REVERSE AND DRIVE. WELL MINE BROKE AND I'M GLAD IT WAS IN PARK. IF IT WASN'T IN PARK I WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO EVEN GET IT IN PARK NOT ATKEAST BY MYSELF ANYWAY. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO CHANGE GEARS I GOT A WARNING MESSAGE THAT SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED! IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER FURTHER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE 13-16 FUSIONS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WERE RECALLED. I FOUND THE PART NUMBER FROM FORD WHICH IS DG92-7K340-A. I TOOK IT TO FORWARD AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IT SO I HAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THE 2017 FUSION THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THEM. WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT! THE GUY TRIED TELLING ME I NEEDED TO BUY THE WHOLE CABLE TO FIX IT. WHICH I KNEW BETTER I GAVE HIM THE PART NUMBER AND THEY HAD A BIG BOX OF THE BUSHINGS SITTING ON THE DESK TOOK IT HOME AND FIXED IT IN LIKE 5MIN. I'M GLAD I WAS HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NOT DRIVING BECAUSE IF SO MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK OR ANY GEAR FOR THAT MATTER.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT LEAST AT 65 MPH, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT HIS BRAKES AND WENT IN TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO STOP, I HIT THE CAR, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR COULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE FRAME OF THE CAR SHIFTED. RIGHT AFTER IMPACT A GUSH OF LIQUID STARTED POURING OUT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP TO GET FIXED BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS.

I HAVE THE 2017 FUSION SPORT 2.7L TWIN TURBO AND I PURCHASED IT NEW. ON MORE THAN 30 OCCASIONS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO SAID THERE ARE NO CODES STORED INDICATING THIS HAPPENED AND SINCE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD CORPORATE BUT THEY CLOSED MY CLAIM SINCE THEY HAD NO INDICATION THIS WAS OCCURING. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT YET THEY CONTINUE TO DENY THE PROBLEM. ON A FEW OCCASIONS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY RUNNING 70 MILES AN HOUR. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED? THE NHSTA NEEDS TO MAKE FORD STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE CAR ALSO PUT ITSELF IN PARK BEFORE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHICH CAUSED A HARD JOLT TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS GOING TO DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION AMONG OTHER THINGS OVER TIME. I PAID $40,000 FOR THIS CAR AND DESERVE TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD. WHAT IF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO YOUR FAMILY WOULD YOU JUST IGNORE IT AND MAKE YOUR FAMILY KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE KNOWING AT ANYTIME IT COULD LOSE POWER AND CAUSE YOU TO WRECK? HOW COME NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? MAKE THEM BUY MY CAR OR FIX THE ISSUE SO I DON'T HAVE TO PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER IN ORDER TO GET WORK. I AM A NURSE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING TO WORK. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED ONE TIME BUT WE'LL OVER 25-40 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER TRYING TO GO INTO REVERSE THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE, I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE "SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, SEE MANUAL" MESSAGE APPEARED.

HI I HAVE A 2017 FUSION THAT BEGAN TO STALL AND HAVE ISSUES AT 72,000 MILES. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC THEY DETERMINED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED AND HAVE FOUND BULLETINS STATING THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT KNOWN BY FORD AS FORD HAD RELEASED THE BULLETINS. THIS DEFECT LEADS TO ENGINE FAILURE AND IS NOTHING CAUSED BY THE DRIVER BUT SOLELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN CERTAIN ENGINES WERE MANUFACTURED THEY WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. FORD IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THIS IS FAULT DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES IF THE ENGINE IS TO STALL OR SEIZE DURING DRIVING THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY, ACCIDENT, AND EVEN DEATH. FORD IS NOT RECALLING THIS ENGINE AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY MY ENGINE SEIZED WHILE STOPPED.

I HAVE A GOOD BATTERY AND MY CAR KEEPS ON DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS ONLY DRIVEN 8400 MILES MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN START IT IS BY JUMPING THE BATTERY.

RECALL WAS FIX BY FORD OF ENGLEWOOD NJ ! THEY TELL ME THE RECALL DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THERE SYSTEM ! BUT WHEN I GO FOR CAR INSPECTION IT SAYS MY CAR HAS THE RECALL 18S08 THAT IT HASN'T GOTTEN BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DEALERSHIP I'VE GONE OVER 4 TIMES TO SEE IF THEY REMOVED IT AND NOTHING I EVEN HAVE THE RECEIPT THEY FIX IT ! IVE CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY TELL ME THE RECALL IS STILL ON THE VEHICLE THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO REMOVE IT I'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH AND NO ONE HAS HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THIS IS MY WORKING CAR FOR UBER/LYFT AND I NEED TO HAVE THE RECALL REMOVE FROM ALL THE SYSTEMS OUT THERE ! THEY NOT DISAGREEING THAT IT HASN'T GOTTEN FIX ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY HAVEN'T REMOVED THE RECALL FROM ALL THE SYSTEMS THEY ONLY REMOVED IT FROM TGE DEALERSHIP SYSTEM AND IT STILL COMES OUT ON THE FORD WEBSITE THAT MY CAR HAS THE RECALL

MECHANIC STATES...POWER CITIC DRAW IS CAUSING CAR TO LOSE POWER AT ANY GIVEN TIME. CAR NEEDS TO BE JUMP STARTED TO RUN; WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3MONTHDS PRIOR FROM DRIVE TIME & WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT 11229418 POSTED 7/4/19 CAR STAYED IN SHOP FOR A WEEK. REPLACED INPUT SHAFT, FLUID PUMP, FILTER, VALVE BODY, SOLENOID BODY, TORQUE CONVERTER, AND ANY ASSOCIATED GASKETS AND HARDWARE CAR IS GOING BACK TO THE SHOP TOMORROW DUE TO IT SHIFTING HARDER THAN BEFORE. SAFETY PARK FEATURE NO LONGER WORKS EITHER. CAN HEAR HARD SHIFTING WHEN CHANGING FROM PARK, REVERE, AND DRIVE. REVERSE IS THE WORST AND CAR SHAKES WITH EACH GEAR SELECTION. MOVES HARD AS IF I HIT SOMETHING WHEN PLACING INTO PARK.

ON JULY 22, 2019, I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, IT KEPT TURNING BACK TO PARK. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, CALL GEICO TO HAVE IT TOWED TOOK 2 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TO GET CAR ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, HE CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM COULD TELL HIM WHAT TO DO, HE TALKED TO (EIGHT) TECHS AND NOT ONE KNEW THE ANSWER, ANYWAYS, THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEMS WAS WITH THE SHIFT KNOB AND TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST $545 TO REPAIR AND IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. AND EVEN THOUGH THE 2013-2016 FORD FUSIONS HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY 2017. WHICH IS NOT RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME REALLY LOOSE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A DITCH AND STRUCK A TREE. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LOOSE EVERYDAY EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE CONTACT WAS TREATED FOR BACK PAIN AND RELEASED THE SAME DAY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP AND THEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

DRIVING CAR ONE DAY AND TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN PREPARING TO MAKE A TURN IN TOWN. CHECKED FUSES AND BULBS AND ALL WERE GOOD. TRIED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND IT WAS NOT WORKING EITHER. ALSO NOTICED WIPERS AND NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WERE OPERATIONAL.

SHIFT SYS FAULT I WAS REVERSING WHEN MY CAR SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK AND WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE OR NEUTRAL. WHEN TRIED IT GOES RIGHT BACK TO PARK.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN TURNED ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH , THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED I NEEDED A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. WAITING TO HEAR BACK ON IF THEY HAVE FOUND THE PART, AS THEY COULDN'T THE DAY I TOOK IT IN. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24K MILES ON IT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS RECALL REGARDING THIS PART WAS FIXED OR NOT BECAUSE IT WAS PRIOR TO THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR.

SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT

APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AGO I NOTICED MY VEH WAS CUTTING OUT AND LOSING POWER ON SLOW ACCELERATION AROUND 30-40 MPH AS THE GEARS WERE SHIFTING. TOOK THE VEH TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SMELLS BURNT AND IS DARK. THEY SAID THE CLUTCH IS BREAKING APART AND THEY SAID I NEED AN ENTIRE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEH ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT.

LOST ALL ELECTRICAL WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS,ENGINE DIED, ALL AT SPEED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT.WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MINOR ELECTRICAL DEFECTS/GLITCHES IN THE PAST MONTH.WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN IF YOU TOUCH THE WINDOW SWITCH. DRIVER NEEDS TO REST ALARM EVERY 5 MINUTES AT TIMES..IT JUST HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL GLITCH.

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT FOR MY SISTER (SHE DOES NOT HAVE A COMPUTER) WHO HAS FOUND HER FORD FUSION WITH A DEAD BATTERY SEVEN TIMES, STARTING THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. ON FOUR OCCASIONS IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, THREE OTHER TIMES JUMP-STARTED BY HER NEIGHBOR SO SHE COULD GET TO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS. DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS, SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS THESE APPOINTMENTS. APPARENTLY, THIS DEAD-BATTERY ISSUE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE FUSIONS. IN JANUARY 2018 FORD ADMITTED THERE IS A BATTERY DRAINING PROBLEM AND INSTRUCTED HER TO HAVE THE PCM REPROGRAMMED (ATTACHMENT 2). IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE DRAINING. IN HER CASE THE BATTERY WAS FOUND DEAD AFTER SITTING STATIONARY IN EACH INSTANCE. THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE NEXT TIME, SHE WILL FILE A LEMON LAW CASE. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL ALL OF THE FUSIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTS SAFETY, USE AND MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR.

SYNC IN-DASH CONTROL SYSTEM IS SEVERELY DELAYED OR UNRESPONSIVE. ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUTS OF RANDOMLY, GPS LOCATION IS INACCURATE, SYSTEM SWITCHES FROM DAY TO NIGHT MODE CAUSING THE SCREEN TO BE HARD TO SEE. ISSUES OCCUR AT ALL TIMES.

I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY BECAUSE I WAS GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH STATING "SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT - SERVICE SOON." I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE OR NEUTRAL AND WHEN TRYING TO DO SO, THE PARK BRAKE WAS AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING HAD CAME A PART WHICH WILL COST OVER $315 TO BE FIXED. I READ ONLINE THAT FORD RECALLED OVER 500,000 FUSIONS (2013-2016) AND ESCAPES FOR THE SAME EXACT REASON. WILL FORD BE ISSUING ANOTHER RECALL ON THE NEWER MODEL CARS? I'M HAVING TO COME OUT POCKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST. AS SOON AS I GET THE FINAL RECEIPT FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I WILL HAPPILY UPLOAD IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THREE BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RE-START. I PUSHED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START IT WITH NO LUCK. I HAD IT TOWED TO AIRPORT MARINA FORD 5880 W. CENTINELA AVE, LOS ANGELES, CA. 90045. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT FORD SERVICE FOR THREE DAYS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY PROBLEM MAY BE CAUSED BY THE HIGH VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR THE TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR ENGINE STARTED CUTTING OUT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, FUEL FILTER AND COIL PACK. PROBLEM DID NOT RESOLVE. TOOK CAR TO CHAPMAN FORD IN SCOTTSDALE AZ. THEY FOUND THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR IN CYLINDER 2 HAD STUCK OPEN FLOODING THE CYLINDER WITH GASOLINE AND COMPROMISING LUBRICATION IN THAT CYLINDER. REPAIR REQUIRES REMOVING ENGINE AND REBUILDING IT. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT OF WHICH 95% IS HIGHWAY MILES. IF I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN TO SWITCH IT TO SPORT MODE AND KEEP THE RPM UP UNTIL I COULD GET TO A SAFE LOCATION IT COULD HAVE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A COLLISION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ECOBOOST 4 CYLINDER MOTOR AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. FORD REFUSING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS ON A CAR THAT'S JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD. WITH PREVIOUS FORD VEHICLES I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WAS NOT ON THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHUTTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED COOLANT INSIDE CYLINDER NUMBER ONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEORIA FORD (9130 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

SO, I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS ABOUT MY GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, THE GEAR WILL GO BACK INTO PARK AND START FLASHING. OR IT WILL START DRIVING AND GO BACK INTO PARK AFTER MOVING. IT'S CRAZY. THEN, FORD SERVICE HAS TOLD ME MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I EVEN HAD WANTED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE, BUT THEY SAID IT HADN'T BEEN LONG ENOUGH AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AGAIN, NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE. ALSO, MY WINDOWS ROLL BACK DOWN AFTER I ROLL THEM UP. THEY WILL DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THEY STOP. AGAIN, FORD SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE BUT THE ENGINE STARTED RACING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO THROW IT INTO PARK, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND IT RESTARTED IT. THE ENGINE RACED AGAIN AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT BEFORE IT HIT ANOTHER CAR WAS TO TURN THE CAR OFF SINCE THE BRAKES COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE RACING ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE ENGINE WAS FINE. IT HAS RUN FINE FOR THE LAST 100 MILES. THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN .

CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BACK LITHIUM ION BATTERY IN TRUNK HAD A SHORT AND STARTED ON FIRE WHILE CAR WAS OFF AND NOT PLUGGED IN. BURNT THROUGH TRUNK AND INTO BACK SEAT AND BOTH SPEAKERS ARE GONE. CAR HAS HEAVY SMOKE DAMAGE AND ALL WINDOWS ARE BAD. FOUND BATTERY HARNESS WITH COMPLETELY MELTED WHERE IT PLUGS INTO BATTERY.

VEHICLE STUCK IN NEUTRAL WON'T SHIFT GEARS

THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES AND YOU CAN'T PUT THEM UP ALL THE WAY OR THEY WILL GO BACK DOWN BY THEMSELVES AND THEIR IS SOME KIND OF INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT COMES THROUGH THE STEREO AND LIGHTS. AND THIS SAME PROBLEMS HAPPENED 2 TIME'S BEFORE THIS DATE BELOW SO IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES

YESTERDAY I WAS PARKED AT WORK, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND MY SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT AND STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. I HAD NO WARNING AND NO PROBLEMS LEADING UP TO THIS.

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS WILL NOT CLOSE FULLY ON OCCASION. IF YOU TRY ROLLING THE WINDOW UP IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY ROLL BACK DOWN TO ABOUT HALFWAY TO 2/3 OPEN. I TRIED TO GET THIS ISSUE CORRECTED AT HE DEALERSHIP ONCE. THE MECHANICS REFUSED TO LOG THE ISSUE AND 'RECALIBRATED' THE WINDOW IN A FEW SECONDS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS CANNOT CLOSE THE WINDOW IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE LAST YEAR.

VEHICLE IS NOISY IN NEUTRAL AND HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS.

TAKATA RECALL - I DONT KNOW IF THAT APPLIES TO MY CAR. MY WIFE HAD AN ACCIDENT ON MARCH 12 2019 WHERE SHE HIT A TREE. THE IMPACT WAS SO MUCH THAT THE CRADLE OF THE BODY WAS DAMAGED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS GEICO , DECLARED THE CAR AS TOTAL LOSS. THE REASON THAT I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT CAR AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE THEY WERE NOT ACTIVATED. WHEN YOU SEE THE PICTURE OF DAMAGE YOU WILL BE AMAZED WHY THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO FORD THEY SAID THIS IS YOUR CASE NUMBER CAS17428626 AND SOMEONE WILL GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU SHORTLY. NOBODY HAS GOT IN TOUCH THEY HAVE MY EMAIL ID THEY HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER AND MY HOUSE ADDRESS NOTHING NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE. WHEN WE TALK ON THE PHONE THEY ARE LIKE EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE RIGHT AWAY BUT THE RIGHTAWAY IS LIKE A SUMMER DAY IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY WHICH NEVER COMES. I EVEN TOLD THEM JUST INCASE IF I DONT PICK UP THE PHONE PLEASE LEAVE A VOICEMAIL OR EVEN A MESSAGE SO THAT I CAN GET BACK TO YOU QUICKLY. SO FAR NO ONE HAS RESPONDED. FRANKLY I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR HANDLING OF MY CASE AND ALSO THIS IS AMERICA WHERE SAFETY IS NEVER COMPROMISED SO WHY DID IT HAPPEN TO ME OR WHY SHOULD IT HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHO HAS A SIMILAR CAR LIKE MINE.

I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY REPLACED A NUMBER OF TIMES MY CAR LOSES POWER OFTEN HAS TO BE JUMP STARTED. THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATES ITSELF SPEEDING ME UP AND SLOWING ME DOWN AND THE RADIO NO LONGER WORKS ACTUALLY NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND OR THE RADIO WORK

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MULLINAX FORD OF OLYMPIA FOR A SQUEAK DURING SUSPENSION JOUNCE. THEY TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A BRAKE LINE RUBBING ON THE SWAY BAR. THEY ALLEGEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. ON MARCH 5, 2019, I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE HYDRAULIC FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SKYLINE FORD IN SALEM, OR FOR REPAIRS AND THEY FOUND A BRAKE LINE FAILURE DUE TO RUBBING THE VEHICLE'S SWAY BAR. I BELIEVE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND AM REQUESTING A FULL INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE VOLUME OF FORD FUSION VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THE SEVERITY OF A BRAKE HYDRAULIC FAILURE. THE ISSUE MAY BE CONFINED TO "SPORT" MODELS WHICH MAY HAVE A LARGER FRONT SWAY BAR THAN OTHER FUSION MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 50,000 MILES WHICH IS ABNORMALLY HIGH FOR A 2017 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE. AS OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE ACQUIRE THE MILEAGE MY VEHICLE HAS, MORE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THE SPORT MODEL WAS NOT PRODUCED BEFORE 2017

NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TWO SEPARATE TIMES - FORD HAS CLOSED MY CASE BECAUSE THE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY VEHICLE HAS A FLIGHT RECORDER INSTALLED BY THE DEALER.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FUSION 2017 HAVE AROUND 79,500 MILES ON IT NOW IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS. LAST WEEK THE CAR WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT WOULD COME OFF AND ON AS I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR WOULD PLOW WHEN ACCELERATION RANDOMLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT THE CAR WOULD STALL AND REV BUT WOULDN'T GO SAME WHEN I WOULD BE TURNING SLOWING DOWN IT WOULDN'T GO. IT DOESN'T HAVE COVERAGE ON WARRANTY BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS THE MILES I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A TRANSMISSION I'M STILL PAYING THE CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT COST 5,000 PLUS OTHER FEES FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO PAY FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION, THEY SOLD ME A BAD TRANSMISSION!NOW I'M PILED WITH FEES OF RENTAL BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO GIVE A COURTESY RENTAL ! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

PRIMARY CONCERN: CAR LOSES ALL PROPULSION AND GOES INTO ACCESORY MODE WHEN ACCELERATING. I, AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS WITH 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT MODELS, HAVE LOST TOTAL POWER WHILE LEAVING RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, AND WORST OF ALL, MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR DIED UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MONTHS APART FROM EACH OTHER. A MEMBER OF OUR FACEBOOK GROUP OF FUSION SPORT OWNERS CAPTURED HIS CAR LOSE ALL POWER, ON VIDEO, AND HIS CAR IS BEING BOUGHT BACK BY FORD, BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. THESE CARS, ALTHOUGH FUN AND ENJOYABLE, POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO NOT ONLY THE OWNERS OF THE CAR, BUT ALSO TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WHO COULD HIT US FROM BEHIND, INJURING OF KILLING PASSENGERS IN EITHER VEHICLE, OR VEHICLES NEARBY. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REMOVED FROM THE ROAD. HERE IS HIS VIDEO: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/NLNN0HKRHTG

RANDOMLY UPON STARTING THE CAR NONE OF THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS WORK INCLUDING HVAC CONTROLS, RADIO OR WINDOW CONTROLS, MEMORY SEATS ALSO.

I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR THE PREVIOUS DAY AND PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. I HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY ONLY 4 MONTHS PRIOR. IT WAS A NEW BATTERY. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN UPLAND AND THEY TESTED STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM CIRCUITS-CHARGE-TEST NOTHING CAME UP. I HAD CHARGED THE BATTERY EARLIER THAT DAY TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY DISCHARGED THE BATTERY AND BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR DID NOT GO MORE THAN 10 FEET BACKWARDS WHEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO RESTART. IT TOOK MORE THAN 10 MINUTES TO RESTART AND IT TOOK 3-4 TIMES OF PUTTING ON THE BRAKE AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON BEFORE THE SYSTEM WOULD RE-INITIATE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR HAD DONE THIS AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM AND TO RE-START. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN UPLAND, CA AND THEY DID A SYSTEM/CHARGING CIRCUITS-CHARGE-TEST AND NOTHING CAME FROM THE TEST. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT SINCE THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING IT COST ME $ 95.

MY VEHICLE ODO 24000KM THE ERROR COMES ON THE SCREEN ' STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW' I BOUGHT IT FROM TEXAS AND TRANSFERRED TO JORDAN I WAS CHECKING ON FORD WEBSITE FOR RECALLS BUT IT NOT APPEARS . IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED DURING DRIVING.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

STATIONARY VEHICLE - DEALER COULDN'T ROTATE THE TIRES BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BUY NEW LUG NUTS FOR $140.00. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THE LUG NUT ISSUE. POTENTIAL PROBLEM WOULD BE IF I HAD A FLAT WHILE ON THE ROAD AND COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN, WHICH COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

HERTZ RENTAL CAR IN SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TAKATA RECALL THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE RELIABLE BREAKS I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 12/26/18. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOW I'M LEFT WITH BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS . AND THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG BLEW SMOKE IN MY FACE AND THIS CAR HAS TWO OPEN RECALLS AND IT'S A RENTAL THROUGH HERTZ

I FIRST NOTICED WHEN I WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR STALLED THEN A WRENCH TOOL APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN PROCEEDED TO SHIFT TO DRIVE AND DROVE OFF. THAT OCCURRED SPORADICALLY UNTIL 12/14/2018 WHEN A SHIFTSYSFAULT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I STARTED TO DRIVE OUT OF A PARKING LOT AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTED TO PARK ON IT'S OWN AS I WAS DRIVING. BOTH ME N MY PASSENGER TRIED SHIFTING THE GEAR WITHOUT SUCCESS. I TRIED OVERRIDING THE GEAR ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL AND YOUTUBE VIDEO BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. CONTINUOUSLY SHIFTING TO PARK FROM NEUTRAL, REVERSE AND DRIVE ON IT'S OWN WHICH CAUSED ME TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET HOME. ONCE HOME I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE SO I COULD PARK IT BETTER HOWEVER A NEIGHBOR ATTEMPTED TO OVERRIDE THE COMPUTER BY UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY THEN REATTACHING IT WHEN ANOTHER ALERT APPEARED SAYING ENGINE COOLANT WAS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF FOR 2HRS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I'M WAITING FOR A RESPONSE ON SERVICING.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT STUCK IN PARK. ATTEMPTED TO OVERRIDE PER USERS MANUAL AND FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAD BEEN SHUTDOWN. THIS OCCURRED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER STARTING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. ALSO, THE "SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, SEE MANUAL" MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FIVE STAR FORD STONE MOUNTAIN (3800 US-78, SNELLVILLE, GEORGIA 30039, (678) 384-4242) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CABLE BUSHING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

VEHICLE (FORD FUSION) HAD JUST STARTED TO PROCEED FORWARD FROM MEDIAN TURN AREA ONTO CITY STREET TO TURN LEFT WHEN 2ND VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY) SWOOPED AROUND ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND HIT AFFECTED VEHICLE (FORD FUSION) ON FRONT DRIVERS SIDE (BUMPER AND ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT QUARTER PANEL). SPUN BOTH VEHICLES AROUND AND AFFECTED VEHICLE (FORD FUSION) WAS PROPELLED INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY). IMPACT CAUSED FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TO DETACH, NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHICH RESULTED IN THE HEAD OF THE DRIVER OF AFFECTED VEHICLE (FORD FUSION) TO HIT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO SPIDER SHATTER THE WINDOW LEAVING AN IMPRINT OF DRIVERS HEAD IN THE WINDOW. DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL AND INJURIES WERE MINOR THUS FAR. STILL SEEKING MEDICAL ATTENTION. IMPACT WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH THAT 2ND VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY) DID DEPLOY ALL AIRBAGS.

ON MAY 13, 2017 OR THERE ABOUT MY 2017 FORD FUSION FROM A STOPPED DURING TAKE OFF ACCELERATED VERY FAST ALMOST CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON MAY 15, 2017 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD TECHNICIAN ABOUT IT. HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2017 I TOOK MY CAR IN SPECIFICALLY TO HAVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM CHECKED OUT AND AGAIN NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN SOON AS IT HAPPENED. ON OCTOBER 10, 2017 TAKING OFF FROM A STATIONARY POSITION I TOOK OFF AFTER LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF ACCELERATING IN A CURVE CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL AND I RAN INTO A TREE.

ALMOST EVERYTIME I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE, IT PUTS ITSELF BACK TO PARK. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE- IT WILL PUT ITSELF BACK INTO PARK.I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR, BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT.

I LOST POWER WHILE ON THE FREEWAY TO ABOUT 40 MPH FROM 65 MPH, MANY INDICATORS FLASHED: "SEE MANUAL", "PRE-COLLISION ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE", "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK", "DOWNHILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE", THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT, I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN, LOOKED TO SEE IF FOR SOME REASON IT WAS IN "L". I ENDED UP GETTING TO MY DESTINATION, IT SAT FOR 2 HOURS THEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, (BECAUSE THE TOW TRUCK WAS TAKING TOO LONG) AND IT SEEMED FINE. I DROVE IT SHORT DISTANCES THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS STILL FINE (CK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON BTW) BUT AFTER GOING 20 MILES IT DID IT AGAIN! LOW POWER, LOTS OF DIFFERENT INDICATIONS OF ERRORS. I ALSO NOTICED THE ENGINE SEEM TO STAY AT A HIGH RPM AT A STOP LIGHT, PRIOR TO THIS IT SEEMED LIKE IT WASN'T SHIFTING LIKE IT SHOULD. (IT WAS TAKING TOO LONG TO DOWNSHIFT, NOT SURE IF IT IS BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING MY OTHER POWERFUL AND LOUD CAR RECENTLY). AT THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS THE ABS RELAY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS, IT IS A 2017 AND IT WAS CERTIFIED USED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE RE-CALIBRATING THE OTHER RELAYS/SWITCHES AND THE ABS IS STILL CREATING A PROBLEM. THEY ARE REPLACING IT WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE I WOULDN'T FEEL SAFE IF IT WASN'T GOING TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND MANEUVER THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM THE PARK POSITION, BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN TO CRATER LAKE FORD LINCOLN (2611 BIDDLE RD, MEDFORD, OR 97504, (541) 887-6176). AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

I NEED MY CAR. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS. I AM DISABLED AND CAN'T GET A DIFFERENT CAR.

RECALL ON BOLT WITH STEERING WHEEL

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY UTILIZING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. IT WAS SET TO 55 OR 65. I WENT TO CHANGE FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE AND MY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING QUICKLY. I WAS COMING ON TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAY TOO QUICKLY TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME I HAD TO SWERVE AND HIT THE CEMENT MEDIAN. IT ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY I'M NOT SURE IF I WAS EVEN ABLE TO TRY AND HIT THE BRAKES AT ALL. I SEARCHED THE FORD WEBSITE AND HAVEN'T FOUND ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLES YEAR. I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS RIGHT AWAY SO OTHER DRIVERS ARE AWARE. THIS IS SECONDARY TO HAVING TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESET....AND THE STEERING WHEEL BOLT REPLACED! I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS CAR BACK. SO SCARED TO GET BACK IN IT.

RECEIVED THE VEHICLE WITH APPROX 64 MILES ON IT IN AUG 17. AT 70 MILES, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, WENT TO PULL THROUGH AND THE ENGINE MADE A FUNNY SOUND AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE REVED HIGH BEFORE THERE WAS MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. CAR HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO LIMP IT TO A PARKING LOT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. NOW A YEAR LATER (13 AUG 18) WITH APPROX 4K MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT AND NO POWER. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS GOING UP A HILL AT 10 MPH AND THE ENGINE "CLUNKED", LOST POWER. WAITING ON A TOW TO THE DEALER FOR "REPAIR". THANKFULLY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE WITH 70 MILES AND AGAIN AT 4K MILES. I HOPE FORD TAKES NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM. I'M GLAD THESE EVENTS HAPPENED IN CITY CONDITIONS AND NOT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

IN MAY 2017 MY FORD FUSION SPORT LOST POWER TO THE WHEELS WHILE ACCELERATING, I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND ISSUE WENT AWAY. TOOK CAR TO BOB RORHMAN DEALERSHIP IN SCHAUMBURG IL, FORD AND DEALERSHIP STATES NTF, NO TROUBLE FOUND, FORD CORPORATE SERVICE MANAGERS ALSO SAID NTF, CASE FILE 12313619-N2S9X3. ON AUGUST 7TH, 2018 THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS LEAVING WORK, I ACCELERATED AND CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I PROCEEDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS GETTING HONKED AT BY OTHER DRIVERS, TURNED CAR OFF AND ON AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. I OPENED A NEW CASE FILE WITH FORD CAS15469320 ON 8/9/2018. THE ETB HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE PAST, REFERENCE 'CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (13N03)'. I DEEM THIS A CRITICAL SAFETY CONCERN, IF I WAS A FORD ENGINEER ON MY FMEA THIS FAILURE MODE SEVERITY IS A 10, I WORK IN AUTOMOTIVE. I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THE INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,634. *TT

ON FRIDAY, JUNE 29TH 2018, I REMOTE STARTED MY CAR AND WHEN I GOT INSIDE THE CAR I WAS PRESENTED WITH THE WRENCH ICON AND IT SAID TO SEE THE MANUAL. I CHECKED THE MANUAL AND IT SAID THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A POWERTRAIN FAULT. LIGHT WENT OFF ABOUT 3-5 LATER. AS I WAS DRIVING, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I GAVE IT GAS AND THE CAR WANTED TO STALL (RPM LEVELS DROPPED TO 500 OR LOWER RPM). IT DID IT AGAIN THE SAME DAY, BUT AT A LATER TIME. ALSO, WHEN I START BRAKING THE CAR'S RPM LEVELS GOES UP TO 3-4K RPMS WHEN BRAKING FROM 70MPH AND WHEN BRAKING FROM 40MPH. OCCASIONALLY IT DID IT AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I HAVE PROOF ON VIDEO, BUT CAN'T UPLOAD THEM HERE DUE TO FORMAT.

I WAS STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN A TRUCK REAR-ENDED ME TWICE AND I ENDED UP REAR-ENDING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

THE WINDOW DOESN'T STAY CLOSED. IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENS AGAIN.

BATTERY CAPACITY ISSUE. EV BATTERY NOT CHARGING TO CAPACITY. BATTERY DRAINS ON EV LATER MODE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER HUNG UP THE PHONE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE WHETHER THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,800.

I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE 12V BATTERY WAS LOW AND WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IT PUT THE CAR IN SLEEP MODE DISABLING THE REMOTE FUNCTION (REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK STARTING AND CHARGE STATE) ON THE APP. I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS FROM SITTING ON THE DEALER LOT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND BRUSHED IT OFF BUT TWO WEEKS LATER AFTER CHARGING THE CAR TWICE A DAY IT STILL HAPPENS IF I JUST RUN ON ELECTRIC FOR MY COMMUTE. IT APPEARS THE CAR HAS A POWER DRAIN SOMEWHERE I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER TO SEE IF THIS CAN BE RESOLVED AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST SINCE I AM OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY (41000 MILES).

TL* THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (AUTONATION FORD WHITE BEAR LAKE, 1493 CO RD E EAST, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN 55110) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,446.

FORD FUSION 2017 HAS LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. BROUGHT CAR IN TO BE CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER LOSING POWER AT 55 MILES AN HOUR CANNOT BE SOMETHING THAT IS SAFE.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO CALIFORNIA EVENING OF JAN 3RD 2018 WEST BOUND ON HWY 74 HAVING JUST PAST THE OVERPASS ON I-5. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND MY CAR FLOATED OVER AND I COULD NOT STOP IT OR STEER. IT WAS THE STRANGEST THING I EVER EXPERIENCED. I FELT THE SENSORS IN THE CAR SUCK IN. MY CAR BOUNCED OVER THE CURB AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS TORN OFF IT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED MY CAR OUT AND THE LOSS OF MY CAR HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF INCOME AND ABILITY TO WORK TOO. I LOST SO MUCH OVER THIS CAR BEING TOTALED. I HAS USAA AUTO INSURANCE AND GAP COVERAGE ON THE NOTE. HOWEVER I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT HOW INSURANCE AND THE ABILITY TO RESTORE INSURANCE WOULD BE AFFECTED. I HAVE HAD TO SEE THIS AS AN AT FAULT ACCIDENT AND IT RAISED MY INSURANCE AND IMPACTS ME NEGATIVELY IN MANY WAYS FINANCIALLY. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I ATTACHED LOSS DOCS, I HAVE PICS OF CAR AS WELL AS WHEEL WELL WHERE WHEEL WAS PULLED OFF AFTER BOUNCING OVER THE HIGH CURB.

WHILE TRYING TO USE AUTO IN WINDOWS THE WINDOW WOULD GO UP THEN RIGHT BACK DOWN SIS IT LIKE 17 TIMES BACK TO BACK. ALSO AFTER SHUTTING CAR OFF WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR IT PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND RECEIVED A MESSAGE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT SWITCHES

MY CAR WINDOWS WILL GO UP AND THEN AUTOMATIC COME BACK DOWN. THE RADIO SWITCHS CHANNELS ON ITS OWN. THE CAR STALLS OUT AND WON'T START. THIS HAS HAPPEN AND GOTTEN REPAIRED MORE THAN 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS PASS WEEKEND. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO FIX AGAIN. AS OF NOW I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT FORD KEEPS SAYING DOES NOT FIT UNDER THE MARYLAND LEMON LAW. THIS CAR CLEARLY HAS SOME SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT FORD DOES NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND. I AM PUTTING THE LATEST DATE ON IT, BUT IT HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR PARKED.

STEERING TURNS EXCESSIVELY WITH TURN WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN STICKS. FORD STATES "ITS WORKING AS IT SHOULD". REPEATEDLY TAKES ME INTO ADJACENT LANE UPON LANE CHANGE, AND ALMOST OFF ROAD, WHEN GETTING OFF EXITS. WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SYSTEM: 98% OF THE TIME, DOES NOT CLEAN THE TOP 1/3 OF DRIVERS VIEW OF WINDSHIELD. VISABILITY IS BETTER WHEN NOT USING OR MINIMIZING WIPER USE, IN RAIN, SNOW. SUSPENSION: DEATH RATTLE. VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY EXCESSIVELY VIBRATES SO SEVERELY, AT ANY SPEED. WITH UNEVEN ROADS, AND HOLES, VEHICLES EXCESSIVELY RATTLES AND JUMPS SIDEWAYS IN LANE. THREE SIDEWALL FLAT TIRES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR, THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V167000 (STEERING) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (ROCKWALL FORD, 990 E INTERSTATE 30, ROCKWALL, TX 75087, (972) 290-2200) WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY WHEN THE PART WOULD BE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD VERIFY WHEN THE PART WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHILE CAR RUNNING, DRIVER OPENED THE DOOR AND WAS TOSSED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. CAR SUDDENLY DIS-ENGAGED FROM PARK AND ACCELERATED BACKWARDS CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVER RETURNED TO VEHICLE THE CAR WAS IN PARK.

SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL NOT START CORRECTLY. I THEN HAVE TO TURN IT OFF , LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN START IT UP AGAIN. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS AGAIN BUT THE THIRD TIME I START THE CAR, IT GENERALLY GOES INTO THE MODE IT HAS TO BE IN TO START DRIVING. ALSO, WHEN I PUT THE CHARGER INTO THE OPENING, IT NEVER GIVES ME THE FULL 22 MILES USING ONLY ELECTRICITY. I USUALLY ONLY GET ABOUT 10 OR 12. WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN?

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING..STEERING LOCKED. COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR.NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT.

THE SCISSOR JACK FOR THE CAR IS UNSTABLE, WHEN THE CAR WAS JACKED UP TO REMOVE A FLAT RIGHT FRONT TIRE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE SET AND THE CAR WAS ON A LEVEL PAVED PARKING LOT SURFACE, THE JACK ROLLED OVER AND THE CAR FELL ON TO THE TIRE AS IT WAS BEING REMOVED RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FENDER AND INJURY TO MY HAND, I WAS THEN ABLE TO JACK THE CAR BACK UP AND REMOVE THE TIRE AND AGAIN WHILE PUTTING THE SPARE TIRE ON THE JACK ROLLED OVER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE JACK WAS PINNED UNDER THE CAR AND FORD'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED TO SEND SOMEONE TO JACK THE CAR UP. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JACK OR THE CAR, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A COLLISION SHOP THEY WERE ALL TO FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM.

REGARDING MANUFACTURER'S RECALL NUMBER 18S08 (STEERING WHEEL SEPARATES FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN LYNBROOK, NY TO HAVE THE SAFETY REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED ON 3/21 THAT FORD HAD NOT SENT THE PARTS AND THAT THEY WERE NOT EXPECTED FOR "MONTHS." I THEN CALLED FORD'S NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD A LETTER WOULD BE SENT AFTER APRIL 30TH ABOUT WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT A TIMELY MANNER TO CORRECT A MAJOR LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE. THIS CAR IS ISSUED TO ME BY MY EMPLOYER.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS CHATTER ACROSS WINDOW WHEN IT'S RAINING. THE CHATTER GETS SO BAD THAT THEY SKIP ACROSS THE WINDOW NOT CLEARING THE WINDOW COMPLETELY HITTING THE POST ON THE LEFT SIDE. THEN WHEN THEY ARE IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION THEY WILL STOP AND MAKE A LOUD SCRAPPING SOUND. THEY HAVE CHATTERED SO BAD THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY STOPED FUNCTIONING IN THE RAIN LEAVING NO VISIBILITY FOR DRIVING. THIS WAS ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES. 1 TIME AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR, APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES, AND WE WERE TOLD THE WIPERS WERE JUST DIRTY. BETWEEN THIS VISIT AND THE NEXT 3 WE HAD TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT WIPERS AT 6,000 MILES AS THE WIPERS WERE NOT PROPERLY CLEARING THE WINDOW, BUT THEY WERE ALSO CAUSING CHATTER. . HOWEVER, THE OLD WIPERS APPEARED BRAND NEW. DURING THE NEXT 3 VISITS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN EUREKA CA WE WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, BUT THEY APPLIED RAINEX OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT. THE WINDOW WAS "CLEANED". LASTLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPLACED. THEY ALSO APPEARED BRAND NEW. UPON TALKING TO THE SERVICE REP WE WERE TOLD THAT THE WIPERS ON OUR FORD FUSION WERE NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED FOR OUR FORD FUSION AND THEY WERE FACTORY WIPERS. HE ALSO STATED THAT SEVERAL OF THE SERVICE TECHS HAVE FUSIONS AND THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR SITUATIONS. WE HAVE HAD THIS SET OF WIPERS ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND ALREADY RUNNING INTO PROBLEMS. I SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE IT. HOWEVER, I CAN'T JEOPARDIZE THE LIVES OF MY GRANDCHILDREN, OTHERS AND MYSELF. PLEASE HELP MISS MIMI

MY 2017 FUSION HAS COMPLETELY STALLED ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING. THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 3/4/18. AS I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION..THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER PERSON. THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL SOMEONE GAVE US A BOOST. MY HAZARDS WERE ALSO INEFFECTIVE. MY CAR STAYED AT THE BRONDE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR 4 DAYS AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO CODES SO THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. MY CHILD AND I WERE IN GRAVE DANGER AND STILL IN DANGER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE WITH MY BABY.

CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND OUT OF NO WHERE CAR SHIFTS VERY HARD AND ALL POWER IS LOST. HAD TO LIMP TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT IT OFF. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. AFTER A RESTART IT SEEMED TO ACT FINE UNTIL TODAY WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A LOCAL ROAD AT ABOUT 20 MPH.

STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING

DRIVING ON ROAD ROUGHLY 40 MPH AND VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE:. NEEDED TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO AVOID TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

JUST AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP FOR THE CARS FIRST OIL CHANGE, THE CAR NO LONGER HAS BLINKERS, WIPERS (EXCEPT FAST SPEED) AND ALL STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ARE INACTIVE.

OWNER WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AT SPEED AND USED THE CARS "SPORT MODE". WHEN OWNER ENABLED SPORT MODE CAR SPUTTERED AND LOST MAJORITY OF POWER AND DISPLAYED A "SEE MANUAL" LIGHT. OWNER DROVE CAR TO JORDAN FORD OF SAN ANTONIO WHERE THE PRESENTED HIM WITH CODE P0234 FOR TURBOCHARGER OVERBOOSTING. DEALERSHIP RESET CARS COMPUTER AND DID NOTHING ELSE.

THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE AND HAD AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PLAY IN IT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND REPAIRED. THEY TOOK CARE OF IT WITH NO PROBLEM. AFTER RETURNING HOME MY WIFE SUGGESTED I CHECK AND SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I FOUND THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE 2014 TO 2016 INVESTIGATION. WE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE MADE KNOWN THAT IT ALSO IS HAPPENING IN 2017 MODELS. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THIS WAS THE SECOND ONE HE HAS SEEN ALTHOUGH HE WAS NOT SPECIFIC IF THEY WERE BOTH 2017 MODELS.

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH NO WARNING AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO RESUME DRIVING THE CAR SAID IT WAS IN ACCESSORY MODE. I STARTED TO ROLL BACK AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. I PULLED OVER FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE FEELING SAFE TO PROCEED. THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER CARS BEHIND ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND I AM THANKFUL I DID NOT ROLL BACK INTO ONE OF THEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THERE WERE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS. I HOWEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL THAT WAS CAUSING A HARSH SHIFT THAT I WAS TAKING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS FOR. THERE IS ONLY 10821 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCHES, SEALS, AND BUSHING ACCORDING TO THE REPORT WE RECEIVED. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THIS SOON. I AM CONCERNED IF OTHERS WOULD FIND THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE NEW FUSION SPORT.

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE AND FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAVE VIDEO FOR PROOF. 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLINER FELL OUT OF PLACE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MID VALLEY FORD DEALER LOCATED AT 201 NE POLK SATION RD, DALLAS, OR) AND THE HEADLINER WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE WELDED INTO THE WRONG POSITION IN THE VEHICLE. THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE DETACHED AND RE-WELDED INTO THE CORRECT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

CAR IS A 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT 2.7L ECOBOOST CAR STALLED RANDOMLY. DROVE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO STALLING. WAS STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, THE CAR STALLED AND WENT INTO FULL ACCESSORY MODE. STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AFTERWARDS WITH NO PROBLEMS. CAR HAS 8500 MILES ON IT. A CAR STALLING WHILE IN DRIVE IS UNSAFE IN THE CASE OF BEING ON TRAIN TRACKS, STALLING COULD BE FATAL. CAN NOT BE REPLICATED AND NO CODES THROWN. WITH NO CODES, DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. SEVERAL OTHERS (CAR EXPERTS, SOME ASE CERTIFIED) STATE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR COULD BE THE FAULT.

IN JULY 2017 I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT WITH THE 2.7 V6 WITHIN 300 MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A HILL AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY SCANNED THE CAR AND NO CODES CAME UP AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT A CODE. I TOOK THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND NO CODES. THEY TOLD ME FORD WOULD NOT APPROVE ANY REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT HAVING A CODE AND A CONFIRMED ISSUE. I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP THAT COULD KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE AND FORD WON'T HELP. I FOUND ON AN ONLINE GROUP OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT RESOLVED BY FORD. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE TO. BUT THE STALLING IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LEMON LAW FOR MY STATE SAYS I MUST LET HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIX THE CAR TO QUALIFY BUT THE IS NO TRACE LEFT BEHIND AFTER STALLING THEREFORE FORD HAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. DO NOT BUY!

UPON DECELERATING, MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING ON A SUBURBAN CITY STREET AT APPROX. 35 MPH, AND DECELERATED TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON PRESSING THE GAS TO START GOING AGAIN, I NOTICED THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AS A CAR THAT LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION.

WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOOSEN. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME OFF. I WAS TRAVELING ON I-94 FROM MILWAUKEE TO THE CHICAGO AREA, SO IT WAS FLAT ROAD, GOOD CONDITIONS. I DROPPED MY SPEED TO 55 AS I WAS AFRAID TO GO THE POSTED 70 MPH WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AS IT WAS. WHEN I GOT HOME I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BOLT INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOOSE. THEY FIXED IT.

HAVE HAD CAR FOR JUST ONE YEAR 18676 MILES AND IT HAS TURNED OFF RANDOMLY 3 TIMES DURING THIS TIME. RANDOMLY UNDER LIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DASH IT SAYS FULL ACCESSORY LIKE YOU JUST PUSHED THE BUTTON WITH OUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE TO START. ONCE COASTED TO A SAFE LOCATION YOU CAN RESTART THE CAR AND EVERYTHING RUNS FINE. NO CODES ARE LOGGED WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AS YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT LEAVES THE CAR WITHOUT POWER.

IT IS TORQUE CONVERTER CONNECTOR THAT SLAMS SUDDENLY AND MAKE THE CAR JERK WHILE IN MOTION NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DOING..THE TORQUE CONVERTER DOES NOT CONNECT THE ENGINE TO THE TRANSMISSION SMOOTHLY .

BOUNCE BACK WINDOW FEATURE CAN NOT BE DISABLED. EVERY TIME MY WIFE OPENS THE SIDE WINDOW, THE WINDOW WILL NOT CLOSE. THE WINDOW GOES TO THE TOP AND COMES BACK DOWN BY ITSELF. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED IT. THE NEXT TIME MY WIFE TOUCHED IT, IT FAILED. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET GAVE A FEW THOUSAND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REPROGRAM IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. SHE LOWERED THE WINDOW ON THE INTERSTATE. THEN SHE TRIED TO CLOSE IT. IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. NOW SHE IS GOING 65 MPH AND FOOLING AROUND WITH THE WINDOW TRYING TO GET IT TO CLOSE. SHE SHOULD BE CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING, NOT FOOLING AROUND WITH A WINDOW. FURTHERMORE, IF SHE IS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND SEES SOME SEEDY INDIVIDUAL COMING NEAR HER SHE CAN'T CLOSE THE WINDOW.

CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY WAY FOR 2 STRAIGHT DAYS. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND AFTER CHECKING THE VEHICLE OUT, WAS TOLD I HAD A SEVERE ANT PROBLEM AND THE ANTS ATE THE WIRING IN THE FUSECOND BOX. HAD TO REPLACE FUSE BOX OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FEB 2017. PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER REPAIRS AND A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. NUMEROUS ERROR LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT COULDN'T RESTART THE CAR OR PUT INTO GEAR. AFTER 15-20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND MOVE IT OFF THE STREET. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO DEALER. DEALER DETERMINED THE BATTERY CABLE WAS STRIPPED AND HAD IT FIXED . ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING, CAR SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. STEERING LOCKED, BRAKES NOT WORKING. WAS ABLE TO GLIDE INTO A PARKING LOT. TRIED TO START CAR AND WOULDN'T START. DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SO HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO MY RESIDENCE. NEXT DAY HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WHEN TOW TRUCK DRIVER TRIED TO START THE CAR IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS SITTING AT DEALERSHIP TO BD LOOKED AT. FIRST TOW, I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET AND FOR THE RENTAL. SECOND TOW I WAS NOT CHARGED FOR DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY FROM THE FIRST REPAIR. THIRD TOW, I HAD TO ARGUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL. STILL WAITING ON DETERMINATION OF PROBLEM. FIRST TIME VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. SECOND AND THIRD TIME I WAS DRIVING AND ON A CITY STREET

REMEDY; INSTRUCT FORD TO COVER THE COST OF INSULLATING INTERNAL IF CUSTOMER BUYS A BETTER BULB. AND REDUCE COST OF INTALLING

TAKATA RECALL LEGAL NOTICE TK59527847. CHAPTER 11 CASE NO. 17-11375 (BLS) -- HAVE ENTERED VIN, LICENSE #, AND STATE ON WEBSITE. NOTHING WORKS TO PROVIDE AN ANSWWER! NO PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE YET. I CHECKED TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT AND SWAYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. BEFORE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH SHEEHY FORD OF MARLOW HEIGHTS (5000 AUTH RD, MARLOW HEIGHTS, MD 20746 (301) 423-4950), THE VEHICLE STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED AIR. ANOTHER TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND REVEALED THAT THE FRONT CAMBER AND REAR TOE FAILED. THE REPAIRS NEEDED WERE UNKNOWN AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO STARTED TO SHIFT INADVERTENTLY FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SHEEHY FORD OF MARLOW, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ONCE AGAIN AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. ON NOVEMBER 1, 2017, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRUCK TWO OTHER VEHICLES, FLIPPED OVER, AND LANDED ON ITS ROOF. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES ALL OVER THE BODY AND INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, LEFT HIP, BOTH SHOULDERS, AND BOTH KNEES. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND WAS AWAITING INSPECTION FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE INITIAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 AND THE CRASH OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 3,200 MILES.

BATTERY DISCHARGES WHEN CAR IS PARKED FOR MORE THAN A DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED REGULARLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

TAKATA RECALL NOT HONORED BY CARUSO FORD LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA FOR CORRECTING DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON FORD FUSION 2017 TOLD ME TODAY THEY COULD NOT HELP ME THIS IS THE LOCATION WERE I PURCHASED MY FORD FUSION 2007 I AM AFRAID TO HAVE KIDS OR ADULTS RIDING WITH ME IN THIS AUTOMOBILE I WOULD LIKE THIS AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE WHEELS STOPPED FROM TURNING I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN I TOUK THE EXIT AND THE LIGHT WENT ON INDICATES THE CAR NEED A SERVICE STEERING ASSIST FAULT, I TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER THER WAS NO EXPLANATION WHAT DID CAUSE THAT THEY TOLD ME THE STEERING BAR ROCK GET BROKEN BECAUSE YOU MAY HIT SOMETHING I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT NOTHING HIT ME BBUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION THEY MADE THAT UP SOMEONE NEED TO LOOK THAT UP THIS IS SO DANGEROUS ISSUE WHILE YOU DRIVING.

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND WE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE AT DELIVER, THE VEHICLE HAD MORE BATTERIES THAN DAYS IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THERE IS AN ODOR THAT SMELLS LIKE GAS. I AM NOT SURE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM SOMETIMES IT'S VERY STRONG OTHERS NOT SO BAD

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS ON FREEWAYS. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IF THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A PANIC STOP SITUATION AND DETERMINES IT IS UNABLE TO AUTONOMOUSLY STOP IN TIME. WHEN THE COLLISION WARNING ACTIVATES AND THE DRIVER USES THE BRAKES, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES THE AUTONOMOUS BRAKING AND BRAKING IS REDUCED UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. THIS INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SHOULD BE CHANGED SO THAT A DRIVER APPLYING THE BRAKES DISENGAGES ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION (IF ACTIVE) BUT DOES NOT DISENGAGE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BRAKING (IF ACTIVE). I HAD A 2005 JAGUAR WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY THE COMPUTER SCREEN SHUTS OFF AND TURNS BACK ON, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, TOOK THE DEALERSHIP AND THE NOW SERVICE MANAGER SAID MAYBE IT NEEDS A UPDATE, WHICH ACCORDING TO FORD IT DOES NOT. WHILE PARKED TURNED OFF, YOU CAN HEAR ELECTRICAL COMPONETS MAKING NOISES. I ONLY HAVE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING THAT I CANT UPLOAD. ALSO, THE COMPUTER TRIED TO EJECT A CD BUT I HAVE NEVER USED THE CD PLAYER. ALSO THERE IS THE TRANSMISSION WHAT WHEN PUTTING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE KICKS REALLY HARD. THERE WAS A COUPLE TIMES THE CAR COULDNT CHANGER GEERS LIKE THE RPM WERE REVING UP BUT NOT CHANGING GEERS

I HAVE OWNED MY FORD FUSION SINCE MARCH 2017. TWICE SINCE JUNE 2017 I HAVE COME OUT TO A CAR THAT WILL NOT START. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WTHERE WAS NO WAY FOR US TO MANUALLY JUMP THE CAR DUE TO THE PLASTIC GUARD HAD NOT BEEN REMOVED. IT TOOK 2 DAYS FOR MAINTENANCE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED. AUGUST 27, 2017, AGAIN MY CAR WOULD NOT START NOR WERE WE ABLE TO JUMP IT.

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN JANUARY OF 2017 I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT MY SMARTPHONE TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON THE SCREEN IT WILL WORK SOMETIMES EVEN THOUGH I DOWNLOAD THE APPROPRIATE APPS FOR MY PHONE IT WILL NOT CONNECT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO FORD OF MONTEBELLO AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE TOUCHSCREEN ALSO HAS FLICKERED AND TURN ON OFF NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. BOTH OF MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND PASSENGER WINDOW HAVE HAD A TENDENCY TO NOT ROLL ALL THE WAY UP AND AT THE SAME TIME ROLLED DOWN AND THEN THEY WOULD START DOING IT REPEATEDLY UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THEN IT WOULD STOP.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO WITH 3,000 MILES. HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA REGARDING A PROBLEM WITH WIRING HARNESS WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC AS WELL AS CHANGE GEARS. FORD LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND SAID COMPUTER DIDN'T RECORD. UPON RECEIVING CAR BACK (5TH TIME FOR SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM) THE CAR BEGAN EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. ON 8/5/17, WHILE IN GARAGE THE ALARM UNEXPECTEDLY STARTING GOING ON AND OFF, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS. AS OF 8/17/17 FORD HAS NOT BEEN ABLE/WILLING TO ESCALATE IT TO SENIOR ENGINEERING TO EXPLAIN WHY THE EVENTS ARE NOT RECORDED IN THE COMPUTER. PLEASE NOTE, WE HAVE VIDEOS OF THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND BEING LOADED ON TOW TRUCK WHILE ALARMS ETC ARE ACTING UP. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY FLAW. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS SENT TO FORD ON 8/8/2017. 1. CALLED FORD ROADSIDE - 8/8/17 10:00PM (APPROX) 2. THE CAR KEPT TURNING ON AND OFF. 3. MOVED CAR TO FRONT SO TOW TRUCK COULD GET IT 4. WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM BACK OF HOUSE TO FRONT, IT PUT ITSELF INTO PARK. AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. YOU COULD FEEL THE ELECTRONIC DIAL SHIFTER MOVE MECHANICALLY 5. GOT TO FRONT OF HOUSE. ALARM CONTINUED TO TRIP. LEFT CAR ON IN ACCESSORY MODE TO KEEP ALARM FROM GOING OFF AND LEFT IN PARK. AFTER 10 STEPS AWAY FROM CAR (9:55PM) IT PUT ITSELF INTO DRIVE AND DROVE INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. NO DAMAGE THAT I CAN SEE. BUT HAVE PHOTOS. 6. DECIDED TO MOVE BACK TO GARAGE AS TO NOT BE A RISK TO NEIGHBORS. THE CAR KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS. 7. IT'S NOW IN GARAGE. IT KEEPS LOCKING, UNLOCKING AND POWER CYCLING...AND SHORT ALARM SOUNDS 8. WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, ALARM AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES PERSISTED WHILE BEING LOADED AND WHILE THE TOW TRUCK DROVE AWAY AGAIN, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF VIDEOS, AS WELL AS 3 EYE WITNESSES TO CONFIRM THIS BEHAVIOR.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT NO. 11010655 (FORD CASE NO. CAS12754117). ON THE MORNING OF 7/26/2017, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AS A TEST TO ENSURE IT WOULD START LATER FOR MY SPOUSE. IT STARTED FINE. WHEN SHE TRIED TO START IT LATER AND IT WOULD NOT START. I THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT WOULD NOT START AND THE LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. (BOTH THE SERVICE TECHS AT FAITH FORD AND DURAND FORD SAID THIS INDICATED A LOW VOLTAGE SITUATION.) I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DURAND FORD. IT STARTED FINE. SERVICE AT DURAND (A) SWITCHED OUT THE BATTERY FOR A NEW BATTERY AND (B) VERIFIED THAT THE AUDIO CONTROL MODULE HAD BEEN UPDATED TO ITS LATEST VERSION [A PROBLEM NOTED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM]. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT DURAND FORD FROM 7/27/2017 UNTIL 8/3/2017, IT DID NOT FAIL TO START, EVEN AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A FEW DAYS.

VEHICLE IS A SPORT MODEL, 2.7L TWIN TURBO. UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, EXHAUST FUMES ENTER THE CABIN DOES NOT OCCUR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING

WE HAVE BROUGHT FORD IN FOR THE 5TH TIME DUE TO THE CAR NOT POWERING UP. MOST RECENTLY, THE CAR APPEARED TO HAVE POWER ISSUES AND IT PUT ITSELF INTO REVERSE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. WE THEN LOST ALL POWER. THIS CREATED A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

AT 1884 MILES, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. WHEN JUMP STARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. RETRIEVED CODES FOR "ALMOST EVERY MODULE" HAD LOW VOLTAGE. BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND CODES WERE CLEARED. SERVICE TECH SAYS THERE ARE NO SERVICE MEMOS OR RECALLS. IT APPEARS 14 COMPLAINTS OF DEAD BATTERY ON THIS MAKE/MODEL WERE FILED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FUSION/2017/ELECTRICAL/DEAD_BATTERY.SHTML

I'VE HAD BATTERY FAILURE ON 4 OCCASIONS WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUSION AS I'VE READ IN MANY BLOGS ONLINE AND COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE BUT FORD HAS YET TO ISSUE A TSA OR RECALL.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 8/31/16 AND ON 11/28/16 THE DREADED DEAD BATTERY PROBLEMS STARTED. I TOOK IN IT, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY ON 11/28 SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY JUST A FAULTY BATTERY FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND THAT IT HAPPENS, RARELY BUT IT HAPPENS. ON 12/31/17 I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT AGAIN WOULD NOT START. EACH TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK MY CAR BY TAKING OFF A PIECE OF THE DOOR HANDLE TO EXPOSE THE KEY HOLE AND THE DOME LIGHTS OR DASH LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON, THAT'S MY DEAD GIVEAWAY THAT IT WONT START. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THIS TIME THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON 8/1/16 AND SAT TOO LONG WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN SO IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO MESS UP(EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED A MONTH EARLIER, AND DRIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY TO WORK). I GOT THE CAR BACK AND I BET YOU CANT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED ON 2/4/17... MY CAR WAS DEAD. WOULDN'T START, WOULDN'T UNLOCK... DEAD. THIS TIME THEY WE'RE "99.9% SURE" THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY UPDATING MY POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THEY HADN'T, IT DIED AGAIN ON 5/22/17. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, THEY UPDATED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY, SO I'M JUST WAITING FOR IT TO DIE AGAIN HONESTLY. THEN... I TOLD THEM MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING ON 5/22/17- THEY IGNORED IT WHEN DOING UPDATES AND IT WASN'T RESOLVED. ON 6/13/17 I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL SLIPPING SO THEY UPDATED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AGAIN... DIDN'T FIX IT(OBVIOUSLY) AND THEN ON 6/22/17 I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND SLIDING MY CAR INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRYING TO SHIRT GEARS(ITS AUTOMATIC) AND THEY REPLACED A PRESSURE VALVE, NOT SURE WHY YOU WOULD NEED TO REPLACE A PART LIKE THAT ON A BRAND NEW CAR ANYWAY, BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL ACTS UP.

TAKATA RECALL: AFTER A HIGH SPEED COLLISION NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP ON A HIGHWAY. MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING BETWEEN 70 AND 75 MPH. UPON IMPACT BOTH CARS WERE MOVED TO THE MEDIAN AND PROPELLED APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET. AT NO POINT DID ANY AIR BAG DEPLOY.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES. UPON (TRYING) TO LEAVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. ALL OTHER SYSTEMS WERE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THERE WERE 3 OR 4 WARNINGS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE DASHBOARD HOWEVER, THESE DID NOT REGISTER IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE RESET OPTIONS PROVIDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WERE NOT EFFECTIVE IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE DID NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. EVENTUALLY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN ACTUATOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS, ON A CAR WITH JUST OVER 2100 MILES ON IT.....

EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IN OUR 2017 FUSION, WE BECOME SICK - DISORIENTED, HEADACHES, COUGHING, NAUSEA, DIFFICULTY THINKING. THERE IS A TERRIBLE ODOR/EXHAUST ENTERING THE PASSENGER CABIN WHEN WE DRIVE. YOU CAN EVEN SMELL IT OUTSIDE OF THE THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED. I'VE BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MORE THAN ONCE. THE FIRST TIME, THEY HOSED DOWN THE ENGINE. THE SECOND TIME THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE IT, HOWEVER, IT IS NOTICEABLE EVERY TIME THIS CAR IS DRIVEN - COLD AND WARM WEATHER... THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE CAR IS ON, DRIVING, IDLING, STREET, HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO EXCEPTION THAT I HAVE NOTICED.

CAR WAS PARKED FOR 9 DAYS IN AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE AT AN AIRPORT. UPON RETURN, THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. GOT A "JUMP" TO GET ENGINE STARTED. RAN CAR FOR 15 MINUTES TO CHARGE BATTERY. TOOK CAR TO A FORD DEALER. THEY SAID THEY "FLASHED" SOME COMPUTER, AND THEY THINK THEY FIXED IT.

TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER THE THIRD TIME FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE ONE TOUCH FEATURE WITH THE FRONT CAR WINDOWS . CALLED ON 4/25/2017 AND TALKED TO REPAIR DEPT. AT GLENN FORD; HE EXPLAIN HIS REMEDY ABOUT THE SWITCH UP TIL CLICKING; UTUBE HAD SIMILAR BUT DOESN'T WORK ON MINE. HE SEARCH FOR SERVICE BULLETINS AND INDICATED SOMETHING NEW ..REPROGRAM.SET AN APPOINT NEXT DAY AT 10AM . ARRIVED AT 9:55 AM AND WAS RTOLD THEY WERE RUNNING BEHIND. LATER AT 10:20 THEY PULLED THE CAR INTO THE BACK LOT. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DAN ,THE SERVICE ADVISOR, AND ASKED FOR MY KEYS SINCE I HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR !0:00AM AND EVIDENTLY MY PROBLEM ,3RD TIME ,WASN'T IMPORTANT TO THEM AND THAT I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER DEALER. HE SAID THEY WERE BRINGING IT RIGHT IN. 10:45 SAID MECHANIC WAS DOWNLOADING A NEW FIX THAT WAS JUST RECEIVED. 11:00 AM I PEERED INTO THE SHOP AND THE WINDOW STILL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. 11:15 HE CAME AND THE FIX DIDN'T WOTK AND LET ME DRIVE OFF AND SAID HE WOULD BE IN TOUCH. NO COPY OF WORK DONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY AFTER 3 MONTHS; I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD EGINEERS CAN GET A SOFTWARE BUG REPAIR OR A TEMPORARY WORK AROUND. I THINK I'LL ASH FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CARS WINDOWS AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE BEEN OVER-USED TRYING TO REPAIR ;JUST HOPE I DON'T GET RAIN DAMAGE SINCE AT TIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET "ALMOST" CLOSED BEFORE THE WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY REVERSE AND GO DOWN.THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME INTERMITTENTLY AND ROTATES BETWEEN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS.

THIS IS NOT CONFINED TO FUSIONS, IT'S MOST NEW FORD CARS AND TRUCKS. THEIR HEADLIGHTS (LED?) ARE BLINDINGLY BRIGHT TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE FUSION IN PARTICULAR CASTS VERY BRIGHT OUT TO THE LEFT SIDE AS TO BE DISTRACTING TO VEHICLES IN THE LANE TO THEIR LEFT TRAVELING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. I'VE OBSERVED THIS MOSTLY ON 2-LANE ROADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT MODEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

SICKENING FUMES/ODORS ENTERING MAIN CABIN OF THE CAR, UNLESS THE AIR IS ON RECIRCULATE. FUMES CAUSING HEADACHE, SORE THROAT, RESPIRATORY AND EYE IRRITATION. THE FUMES ARE PRODUCED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ENTER THE CAR WHEN IT IS RUNNING AND THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN OR THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATER PULL IN OUTSIDE AIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO MORE TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

THERE IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE ABOUT DEAD BATTERIES IN THIS VEHICLE, LIKELY CAUSED BY A FAULTY ACM (AUDIO CONTROL MODULE). THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THIS OVER THE WEB, SOME OF WHICH CAN BE FOUND HERE: HTTP://WWW.FUSIONSPORTFORUMS.COM/FORUM/257-FUSION-V6-SPORT-AUDIO-ELECTRONICS-LIGHTING/3770-DEAD-BATTERY-93.HTML HIGH-LEVEL COMPLAINT: BATTERY IS DEAD AFTER SITTING FOR 8 HOURS EVERY SINGLE DAY ON A NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE!

"TAKATA RECALL" MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER IN JULY OF 2016, AND SINCE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING TO FOLLOW UP WITH IT. MY COVER ON THE DASH BOARD OVER THE AIRBAG IS WARPED AND BOWED UP AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MAY ALSO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE. IF THIS IS POSSIBLY ANOTHER PART OF SOMETHING WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY NOW. THANK GOD NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, BUT I WOULD TRULY LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE IT IS TO LATE AND SOMEONE GETS HURT . PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT, IF ANYTHING, IS MOVING TOWARD RESOLVING THIS RECALL IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. ALSO WHAT I CAN HAVE DONE TO GET MY ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS TOLD BY MY FORD DEALER THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE INFO OUT IN NOV OR DEC. 2016 I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING AND HEARD NOTHING AND IT IS NOW MARCH 2017. NOW ACCIDENT TO REPORT. JUST NEED SOME KIND OF ANSWERS. THANK YOU

THE DRIVERSIDE/PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS GO UP AND THEN COMES RIGHT BACK DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN YOU TRY TO MAKE THE WINDOWS STAY UP THEY COME BACK DOWN. I TRIED TO DO IT WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING AND STATIONERY.

FORD EGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A WINDOW PROBLEM . WHEN THE WINDOWS TRIES TO CLOSE ,AS IT HIT THE TOP, IT IMMEDIATELY GOES BACK DOWN. BEEN TO SHOP 2 TIMES WITH THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND THE LATEST WAS WITH BOTH FRONT WINDOWS. TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TOO EASE IT UP A LITTLE AT A BIT AT A TIME

2017 FORD FUSION HYBRID - DRIVER'S WINDOW WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR BEING DRIVEN. WHEN THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON IS PULLED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW, IT WILL START AND THEN STOP WHEN RELEASED. IF THE BUTTON IS PULLED AGAIN, THE WINDOW WILL TRAVEL ALL THE WAY UP AS IF IT IS GOING TO CLOSE AND THE OPEN SO THAT IT IS OPEN 3/4 OF THE WAY. IT IS AS IF THE WINDOW CAME IN CONTACT WITH SOMETHING AND THEN REOPENED AUTOMATICALLY AS IF TO PREVENT TRAPPING A HAND OR ARM. THE NET EFFECT IS THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE SECURED OR DRIVEN IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WITHOUT PUTTING A PLASTIC BACK OVER THE WINDOW AREA OF THE DOOR -- THUS OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW TO THE LEFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK OR DAWN, THE HEADLAMP BEAMS WERE TOO DIM TO PROJECT A VISIBLE LIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMPS OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/10/17*LJ *CN

WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, BETWEEN 5-10 MPH WHEN THE CAR CLICKED LOUDLY. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES, AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OFF, THE CAR HAD PUT ITSELF INTO PARK, AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BACK AS IF I HAD OPENED THE DOOR WITH THE CAR SHUT OFF.

I WAS IN A MULTI CAR COLLISION WITH SERIOUS FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE FLOOR AIRBAGS ACTIVATED BUT THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROACHING A FREEWAY ENTRANCE. MY CHEST AND FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME PAIN, BRUISES AND CONTUSIONS. POLICE OFFICER ADVISED ME TO REPORT THE AIR BAG FAILURE.

DEAD BATTERY ISSUE. BRAND NEW CAR SITTING FOR 6 DAYS HAS BATTERY GO BELOW "MINIMUM START" AND WHEN START BUTTON IS PRESSED, ENTIRE CAR GOES DEAD. ISSUE IS NOT ISOLATED TO ONLY MY CAR. MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT'S "NOT A PROBLEM". THE FORD FUSION SPORT FORUM HAS TONS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING (HTTP://WWW.FUSIONSPORTFORUMS.COM/FORUM/257-FUSION-V6-SPORT-AUDIO-ELECTRONICS-LIGHTING/3770-DEAD-BATTERY.HTML). WHEN I CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO "RECALLS NOR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS" ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM AND TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. THIS ISSUE IS SAFETY RELATED BECAUSE OWNERS CAN BE STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME; AND THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY. PROBLEM OCCURRENCE: THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, SHUT OFF, AND NOT USED FOR 3 OR MORE DAYS. SUSPECTED ISSUE: AS AN IT PROFESSIONAL, I SURMISE THE PROBLEM'S ORIGIN IS BASED ON THE CAR HAVING A MODEM THAT NEEDS TO "PING" AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE FORDPASS APP ON A CONTINUAL BASIS (THEIR SELLING POINT IS THAT THE CAR CAN BE LOCATED ANYWHERE IF IT'S STOLEN). AND JUST LIKE A CELL PHONE, IF THE CAR IS PARKED IN AN AREA WITH ONLY ONE BAR OF CELL SERVICE, THE UNIT MUST USE MORE AND MORE POWER TO PING THE CELL TOWER, THUSLY DRAINING THE CAR'S BATTERY AT EXORBITANTLY HIGH RATES. COUPLE THIS WITH THE FACT THAT THE CAR'S BATTERY IS NOT A DEEP CYCLE HIGH CCA MODEL, AND YOUR LEFT WITH UNCERTAINTY THAT YOUR CAR WILL START THE NEXT MORNING. *TR

ISSUE 1: FMVSS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. INTERMITTENT TOTAL FAILURE OF CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM, INCLUDING FAILURE OF DEFOGGER CAUSING OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY IN COLD CLIMATES (VEHICLE IS BASED IN METROPOLITAN DETROIT). THE FAILURE IS BOTH ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL. NEITHER THE TOUCH SCREEN NOR THE PHYSICAL CONSOLE BUTTONS RESPOND TO COMMANDS. AFTER SECOND INTERMITTENT FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN AN ATTACHED HOME GARAGE. AFTER IGNITION, DEFOGGER FUNCTIONED, BUT NO OTHER CLIMATE FUNCTIONS WORKED. DEFOGGER EMITTED A BURNING SMELL AKIN TO A CAMPFIRE. FORCED TO DRIVE WITH SUCH CONDITIONS TO WORK TO MAINTAIN VISIBILITY. ISSUE 2: POSSIBLE FMVSS SAFETY ISSUE. INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE AUDIO SYSTEM, INCLUDING SNYC COMMANDS. TOUCHSCREEN (BOTH ON THE HOME SCREEN AND ON THE TOOLBAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN) AND PHYSICAL BUTTONS DO NOT RESPOND WHEN AUDIO BUTTONS ARE PRESSED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SYNC DOES NOT RESPOND. ALTHOUGH BLUETOOTH IS ACTIVE, OCCUPANTS CANNOT HEAR THE DIALED PARTY, AND THE DIALED PARTY CANNOT HEAR THE OCCUPANTS. SINCE SYNC IS TIED INTO 911 SYSTEM FOR CRASHES, THIS WILL PREVENT OCCUPANTS FROM ENGAGING WITH 911 OPERATORS HANDS-FREE IN AN ACCIDENT. IF OCCUPANTS CANNOT REACH/MANIPULATE PHONE IN A CRASH, THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO CALL FOR HELP. ISSUE 3: INTERMITTENT REAR CAMERA FAILURE. AFTER RAINFALL AND FROST EVENTS, THE REAR CAMERA DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE GEAR. THE SCREEN IS BLACK, EXCEPT FOR AN OUTLINE OF THE VEHICLE. THE RADAR SENSORS REMAIN ACTIVE AND BEEPS IF THE VEHICLE IS CLOSE TO BACKING INTO AN OBJECT. AFTER A PERIOD OF DRYNESS, THE CAMERA RE-ENGAGES. I ASSUME THERE IS A MOISTURE INTRUSION PROBLEM, BUT AM UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ENTRY POINT. ONLINE SEARCHES SUGGEST THAT MOISTURE MAY BE INTRUDING THROUGH THE FACTORY-INSTALLED, ROOF-MOUNTED ANTENNA.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL IN JULY 2016. IT IS NOW 11/22/2016 AND I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY FORD INDICATING PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT REPAIR CAN BE SCHEDULED. I CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALER LATE AUGUST AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL.

WIPER SPRAY NOZZLES DO NOT SPRAY ON THE WINDSHIELD VERY WELL MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CLEAR A DIRTY WINDSHIELD. THE WIPER ARMS BLOCK THE LEFT AND RIGHT SPRAYERS AND ONLY GET A SMALL AMOUNT OF FLUID ON THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER THE WIPERS LEAVE THE HOME POSITION AND STAY SLIGHTLY ELEVATED ON THE WINDSHIELD THE CENTER SPRAYER CAN NO LONGER SPRAY PAST IT TO COVER THE WINDSHIELD EITHER.

THIS CAR DIDN'T STOP WITH IN 40FT WHEN THE SPEED IS 25 MPH AND HAPPENED TO COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER CAR WHICH CHANGED LANES ABRUPTLY.

MY CAR, WITH 2K MILES, WOULD NOT START (PUSH BUTTON START, THIS IS THE PLUG-IN HYBRID "ENERGI" MODEL). AFTER BEING TOWED TO A DEALER, THEY HAD TO TEAR THE CAR APART TO FIND A BAD WIRING HARNESS AS PART OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM. THIS PART WAS UNAVAILABLE, AND I AM HAVING TO WAIT OVER 5 DAYS TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AND INSTEAD TRIED TO GET ME TO BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT FROM FORD. THIS IS A SAFETY FIX, AND THE CAR ITSELF JUST WOULDN'T RUN. TO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER OR HAVE THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY GET A PART IS UNACCEPTABLE. WIRING HARNESSES SHOULD NOT FAIL IN 5 WEEKS AND 2K MILES. THE CAR DROVE ONE MILE, THEN WOULD NOT RESTART. IT ONLY COMPLAINED TO "GET OFF THE ROAD SOON". A FAILURE OF WHAT SHOULD BE A VERY BASIC PART AT 2K MILES IS CONCERNING, NOT TO MENTION THE INABILITY OF FORD TO REPAIR IT IN QUICK FASHION. THIS DOES MAKE ME WONDER IF THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD AND SO PARTS ARE HARD TO COME BY.

THE VIN ASSIGNED TO THE VEHICLE MISIDENTIFIES THE MODEL AS "TITANIUM HYBRID". WITH THE 2017 FORD DESIGNED A NEW EDITION OF FUSION TO BE A "PLATINUM HYBRID" WHICH HAS A MSRP ABOVE THE "TITANIUM HYBRID" BY $6,500. I CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A DEALER ISSUE TO CORRECT THE VIN?? THE DEALER IS CALLED THE REGIONAL OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT RESPONSIBLE TO PROVE CORRECT DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A VIN. INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL COMPANIES RELY ON THE DATA FROM THE VIN.
