I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE RIGHT PASSENGER MIRROR EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BOOM. THE OUTSIDE PORTIONS OF THE MIRROR WERE LYING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTACT. THE INTERIOR PLASTIC WAS BLOWN TO SEVERAL PIECES. HAD SOMEONE OR SOMETHING BEEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR, THEY WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN INJURED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR-AND-TEAR ON A CAR; THIS IS A DEFECT. IT IS APPARENTLY CONNECTED WITH THE DEFROSTING SYSTEM. FORD ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
GOOD DAY, I BOUGHT MY CAR USED BACK IN 2011. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES IN THE 3 YEARS REGARDING THE TINTED WINDOWS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE ON THEM WHILE I OWNED THE VEHICLE EITHER. LAST WEEK THE SERVICE STATION REJECTED AN INSPECTION STICKER DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY WINDOWS ARE AT A 27 AND I WAS TOLD THAT SHOULD BE AT A 35. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT CARS TODAY WHO'S TINTED WINDOWS DO NOT LOOK ANY DIFFERENT THAN MINE AT ALL. WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH SOME THINGS IF ITS THE LAW... AND OTHERS DO NOT? PLEASE ADVISE. UNFAIR TREATMENT! THE LAW IS THE LAW AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE A REJECTION WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SAME TINT. DID THE LAW RECENTLY CHANGE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAS A POWER SUNROOF AND ONE DAY, WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. AFTER INSPECTION, I VERIFIED THAT A PIECE OF PLASTIC HAD BROKEN OFF THE SUNROOF RAIL THAT IS CRITICAL TO PUSHING DOWN THE AUTOMATIC WIND DEFLECTOR. THE WIND DEFLECTOR STAYS UP AND THE SUNROOF RUNS INTO IT DIRECTLY, PREVENTING IT FROM CLOSING PROPERLY. AFTER DETAILED INSPECTION, THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE ROOF RAIL PLASTIC AND MUST BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. THIS REPAIR WILL COST MORE THAN $1,000 AND I HAVE NOT EVEN REACHED 70,000 MILES YET. I ALSO HARDLY EVER USE THE SUNROOF. *TR
IN COLD/INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WIPERS WILL NOT STAY DEFROSTED AND WILL FREEZE TO THE WINDSHIELD & NOT COME ON, OR WILL NOT CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD FOR ENOUGH VISIBILITY TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WIPERS SIT TOO FAR BELOW THE DEFROSTER VENTS ON THE CAR. I LET MY CAR WARM UP FOR 15 MINS ON DEC 12TH AND MADE SURE THEY WERE CLEAN BEFORE I GOT ON THE PARKWAY. AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD 20 MINUTES & LEAVING MY DEFROSTER ON HIGH, I TURNED MY WIPERS ON TO CLEAR THE DIRTY WATER/SLUSH THROWN ON MY CAR BY 18 WHEELERS. THE WIPERS STUCK AGAIN, AND I RAN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY LOOKING OUT THE SIDE WINDOWS TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO PRY THE WIPERS OFF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THEY HAD FROZE AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE OTHER TWO TIMES WERE IN 2010. I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE FIRST TWO DATES, SO I USED THE MOST CURRENT AS THE INFO ABOVE INCLUDING MILEAGE. I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING MY CAR DURING FREEZING MOIST CONDITIONS BECAUSE I'M SCARED I WILL WRECK. I NOTIFIED FORD A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE SITUATION, BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I SHOULDN'T BE SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR! *TT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOURTEEN INCHES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED AND REPAIRED BY A GLASS COMPANY. THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $800 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. A YEAR LATER, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AGAIN IN THE SAME PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.
I HAVE A FORD FUSION WITH ABOUT 30000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED A HARD SHIFT AT 10K MILES AND THOUGHT MAYBE ITS JUST A SIMPLE FIX. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR SAID THAT THIS TRANSMISSION ADAPTS TO THE OWNERS DRIVING HABITS. WELL 3K MILES LATER ITS WORSE SO I TAKE IT BACK AND THE TECH SAID ALL THE CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED AND TWO OTHER THINGS WERE DONE! I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOUR MORE TIMES AND HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED. IT APPEARS THAT FORD ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A TRANSMISSION CODE THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AND I AM LEFT WITH A VEHICLE THAT ALSO HAD A WINDOW MOTOR REPLACED, SOME PULLEYS THAT WERE MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE, AND A BATTERY AND TAILLIGHT THAT WENT OUT CHANGED. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS A LEMON, BUT I SMELL DISASTER IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS! WISH FORD WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BY ITS PRODUCT. *TR

CRACKED WINDSHIELD. *TR
ON JUNE 19, 2010 A LARGE CRACK DEVELOPED IN MY WINDSHIELD OF MY 10 MONTH-OLD 2010 FUSION HYBRID. NO FOREIGN OBJECT STRUCK IT. A FORD DEALERSHIP IS ATTEMPTING TO ATTRIBUTE THE CRACK TO A FOREIGN OBJECT WITH NO OBJECTIVE EXPLANATION. THE CRACK CONTINUED TO GROW ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING OUR BRAND NEW FORD FUSION SEDAN SE ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 2PM. I WAS FAR AWAY FROM CARS AND I DON'T DRIVE NEAR SEMI'S OR DUMP TRUCKS I HEARD A NOISE IN THE WINDSHIELD FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MID WAY UP AND THEN A HORIZONTAL CRACK APPROX 14 INCHES APPEARED. I GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND CALLED OUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID BRING INTO SERVICE DEPT 7AM NEXT MORNING. THE SERVICE DEPT LOOKED AT WINDSHIELD AND FRAME AND STATED IT WAS A MICROSCOPIC CHIP. WE HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD AND WE STILL THINK IT WAS A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. IT WAS AT APPROX 1,000 MILES. IT'S INTERESTING AND CONCERNING A FRIEND OF OURS BOUGHT A FORD FUSION S AT THE SAME DEALER OVER A MONTH AGO AND AFTER 2 WEEKS HIS WINDSHIELD DID THE SAME THING. WE'D APPRECIATE YOU CHECKING INTO THIS. I SPOKE WITH THE BUSINESS MANAGER AT THE DEALER THE DAY IT HAPPENED AND HE SAID MAYBE IT'S THE HEAT. I HAD 2 OF THE WINDOWS DOWN PARTIALLY IN THE BACK. WHERE'S THE QUALITY CHECKS THEY MAKE. THANK YOU. *TR
I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION SEL AND RIGHT AFTER I FIRST GOT IT I HAD A CRACK IN WINDSHIELD AND THOUGHT A ROCK MUST HAVE HIT IT. I GOT IT REPAIRED (AFTER MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE REPAIRS) AND NOT LONG AFTER I GOT A STAR BURST. WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW TOO! I HAVE HAD MANY CARS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, THIS ONE NOW TWICE AND ONLY 10,000 MILES ON IT???? *TR
