2013 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

TOLD I WILL NEED NEW TIRES ON MY NEW CAR! *TR

I AM LEASING MY CAR BRAND NEW. I WENT TO GET IN IT TO GO TO WORK AND I HAD A FEW OF THE SENSOR/WARNING LIGHTS COME UP (ALS, AIRBAG, OIL, AND MORE). IT EVENTUALLY WENT OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WENT TO START IT AND IT HESITATED AND THEN WENT CRAZY WITH ALMOST EVERY SENSOR/WARNING LIGHT, DING, NOISE, FLASHING LIGHTS EVERYTHING GOING OFF. I CALLED AND TOLD THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT AND THAT I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF ON FRIDAY AND THEY SAID IT'D PROBABLY TAKE THE WEEKEND. THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT WHEN THEY WENT TO DRIVE IT, IT DID THE SAME THING. THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE RCM NEED REPLACED. NOW, NEARLY 6 WEEKS LATER, I STILL DON'T HAVE MY CAR, THE PART IS APPARENTLY ON BACK ORDER, THEY CAN'T FIND ONE, ETC. I HAVE HEARD MANY EXCUSES AND AT LEAST THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL. BUT AT THIS POINT, I AM PAYING FOR A BRAND NEW CAR I CAN'T DRIVE AND FORD DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. DOES NOT STAY CLOSED. *TR

I WAS EXITING FROM THE HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AIRBAGS, HILL ASSIST, ETC.). ALL SYSTEMS BECAME UNOPERATIONAL WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WHICH CAUSED ME GREAT CONCERN. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING (THE ISSUE WAS STILL HAPPENING), AND THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE THE AFFECTED PART, A RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE (RCM), WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THEY SAID THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND, IF I HAD GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED. I HAVE READ ABOUT A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2013 FUSIONS WITH THE SAME EXACT DEFECTIVE PART, SO THIS ISSUE SHOULD PROBABLY BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS THE 4TH FUSION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS WAITING ON PARTS. DOOR LATCH ON REAR PASS. DOOR WAS REPLACED. *JS

WHILE DRIVING, MY "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT, "LOW OIL PRESSURE" WARNING LIGHT, AND THE "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING CAME UP ON MY DASH. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BREAKS, AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. I STRUGGLED TO STOP THE CAR, BUT EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED MOVING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON, RECEIVING NO FURTHER ERRORS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER IN AN "ERROR STATE". *TR

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE:

2013 FORD FUSION SE 2.0LT ECOBOOST ENGINE - BOUGHT MARCH 2014 ABOUT 33,000 MILES. MY ISSUES STARTED AROUND THE END OF MAY 2014. 1. WHEN COMING TO AN IDLE MY CAR ALWAYS ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. IT IDLES REALLY HARD AND THE RPMS ALWAYS JUMP REAL LOW. THERE ARE NEVER ANY WARNING LIGHTS/MESSAGES THAT APPEAR. 2. EXTREMELY POOR GAS MILEAGE - THIS IS A 4 CYLINDER AND AN ECOBOOST THAT SHOULD BE GETTING A HELL OF A LOT BETTER GAS MILEAGE - CITY AND HIGHWAY! MY 2012 FUSION V6 HAD WAYYYY BETTER MPG. I HAVE READ IN FORUMS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE 2 ISSUES AND FOUND RELATED PROBLEMS. FORD WANTED $180.00 JUST TO 'LOOK' AT MY DRIVEABILITY. JUST TO PLUG MY CAR COMPUTER INTO THEIR SCANNER. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS FOR MY SPECIFIC CAR EVEN THOUGH I AM FINDING A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES AS SOME RECALLS ON OTHER MODEL FUSIONS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED, THIS IS FAULT OF FORD. 3. MY A/C SYSTEM STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AT 36,816 MILES!!! STILL NO WARNINGS ACTIVE AND FORD WANTS $120.00 JUST TO 'LOOK' AT IT - AND CHARGE ME MORE TO FIX ANY ISSUES IT HAS. WHILE READING SOME FORUMS I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL RECALLS/SAME ISSUES FOR THIS AND SOME SAY THAT THE A/C PIPE IS FAULTY AND LEAKS. BUT MY SPECIFIC CAR DOES NOT HAVE THOSE RECALLS SO FORD WILL NOT FIX ISSUE. AND AGAIN, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FAULTY PARTS! DISGUSTED!!!!! PLEASE CORRECT THE RECALLS SO I CAN DRIVE SAFELY. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, IN WHICH I WAS FIRST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR AND THEN COLLIDED WITH A LAMP POST. THE INITIAL BLOW RENDERED MY VEHICLE WITHOUT BRAKE POWER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS WEARING A SEATBELT. MY CAR HEADED TOWARD THE STREET LAMP. I TRIED TO PRESS MY BRAKE, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO AVOID A HEAD-ON WITH THE LIGHT POST. UNFORTUNATELY, I HIT THE POST AND IT BROKE (LATER A POLICEMAN PUSHED IT OVER AND IT FELL TO THE GROUND). THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED AT ABOUT 200 FEET AWAY FROM THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT, AS I DROVE IT ONTO THE MEDIAN STRIP. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT LOWER AREA AND THE RIGHT TIRE WAS PUSHED WAY BACK. THE SWAY BAR AND KNUCKLE BROKE, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR WAS UNABLE TO OPEN. AFTER ALL THESE REPAIRS WERE DONE, THEY COULDN'T START THE CAR BECAUSE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN TOTAL, THESE REPAIRS TOOK MORE THAN TWO MONTHS TO COMPLETE. I SPOKE TO THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WANTED TO INVESTIGATE THIS PARTICULAR CAR, AS IT OPERATED POORLY DURING THE ACCIDENT. THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED, AND SAID TO ALLOW GEICO TO HANDLE THINGS AND HAVE GEICO CALL THEM IF THEY FOUND ANYTHING AMISS. MY BACK WAS INJURED AND I CANNOT SAFELY LIFT MORE THAN 5 LBS AT A TIME. MY NEUROSURGEON ADVISED THAT I HAVE SURGERY SOON, OTHERWISE I RISK BECOMING PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. I HAVE A THUMB INJURY AND THE ACCIDENT ALSO RE-ACTIVATED AN OLD CONCUSSION. MY NOSE MUST HAVE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, AS IT WAS SORE FOR A WEEK. I CAN WALK AROUND AND FUNCTION RIGHT NOW, I JUST CAN'T LIFT ANYTHING. MY CAR IS READY IN THE SHOP, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, AND I HAVE FIVE YEARS OF PAYMENTS LEFT ON IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE HIT THE LAMP POST IF MY BRAKES HAD WORKED, AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FOR EITHER IMPACT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON PENNSYLVANIA TOLL ROAD TO MASSACHUSETTS, THE "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACTION" AND "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" WARNING AND "AIR BAG" SYMBOL CAME ON. NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE DEALER MAGUIRE'S FORD OF HERSHEY, 100 N.THISTLEDOWN DR, PALMYRA, PA 17078. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT RCM MODULE MUST BE REPLACED, HOWEVER PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER AND NOT AVAILABLE ( 300 CASES). I HAD TO SIGN THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT IN A CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK . THE DEALER INFORMED MY HOME DEALER KERRY FORD IN CINCINNATI OH AND SENT A FAX WITH INFORMATION TO ORDER A PART. I CALLED MY DEALER WHEN I RETURNED BACK TO OHIO FROM MY VACATION AND AS OF TODAY 05/27/2014 PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, NO DATE OF PART DELIVERY IS KNOWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V164000 (SEATS). HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT YOUR COMMERCIAL. WE TRY TO TEACH OR CHILDREN TO BE TOLERANT OF OTHERS AND YOUR COMMERCIAL SHOWING ADULTS TALKING AT THE PLAY GROUND SHOWS JUST THE OPPOSITE. THE WOMAN SITTING WITH HER SON IS DEFINITELY BEING MADE TO FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER. I FILLED IN THE ABOVE BLANK WITH VEHICLE INFO ONLY SO IT WOULD BE SENT. *TR

2013 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MPG ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HARDLY EXCEEDS 19 MPG IN THE CITY AND NEVER EXCEEDED 31 MPG ON THE FREEWAY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MPG ADVERTISED WAS MERELY AN ESTIMATE. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ESTIMATE WAS TOO FAR OFF. UPDATED 09/11/2017*JS

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW IN FEB 2013. HAS SHUT DOWN 4 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. 3 WERE IN TOWN AT SLOW SPEEDS FIRST TIME WAS AROUND SUMMERTIME THE FIRST OR SECOND YEAR, BUT THE LAST WAS 12/24/2015 ON THE INTERSTATE RUNNING A STEADY 75 MPH IN THE INSIDE LANE IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD WAS I ABLE TO MANEUVER IT TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING RUN OVER! EACH TIME THE DASH GOES BLACK AND ENGINE (AND POWER STEERING/BRAKES) SHUTS OF. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER THE SHUT DOWN. ONLY THING STILL WORKING WAS THE RADIO. (IT NORMALLY PLAYS UNTIL YOU OPEN THE DOOR ANYWAY) EACH TIME IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER STOPPING. HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. NO FAULT CODES PRESENT AND SERVICE TECH "COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM", SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, OTHER THAN THE NUMEROUS RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR!!! I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CENTER AND REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM.THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. THAT IS VERY INCONVENIENT DUE TO THE NEXT DEALER BEING 2 HOURS AWAY AND THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A DAY OR TWO TO TRY TO "REPLICATE THE PROBLEM". IT IS VERY SPORADIC. IT COULD BE SIX MONTHS BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN. A VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER!!!

ON 4/18/14 DRIVING DOWN CA 140 A TWO LANE MOUNTAIN ROAD DOWNHILL LOTS OF CURVES POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A PRESS OKAY. DIDN'T PRESS OK KEPT DRIVING UNTIL I GOT TO MERCED, CA. ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES. WHEN SAFELY IN A CVS PARKING LOT PRESSED OK . COMPLETELY LOSS STEERING. HAD TO BE TOWED TO RAZZARI FORD 1300 AUTO CENTER DR. MERCED, CA 95340. THEY FOUND A FAULTY STEERING GEAR, AND REPLACED GEAR ASSEMBLY. WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED IF I HAD PRESSED OK THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER. *TR

WAS PULLING ONTO A MAIN ROAD TURNING LEFT OUT OF A PARKING LOT. SPEED WAS ROUGHLY 5 MPH. RECEIVED AN ERROR LIGHT, SYSTEM SAID LOSS OF ADVANCETRAC, THEN SUBSEQUENTLY MULTIPLE ERROR LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH (WRENCH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS). MADE IT INTO THE MEDIAN. VEHICLE WAS STILL "RUNNING", SO I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE INTO THE MAIN ROAD. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED, SO I LET UP TO COAST. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED GENTLY ON IT'S OWN. I MERGED INTO THE LANE, AND LET THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN UP TO SPEED. IT GOT UP TO 40MPH BEFORE I HIT THE BRAKES TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHILE I WAS SITTING THERE, I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. FROM THERE, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. AGAIN, IT ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN UP TO 40MPH BEFORE I HAD TO SUPPRESS THE ACCELERATION WITH THE BRAKE. AT NO POINT DID THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RESPOND TO ANY PRESSING. I NAVIGATED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I SUBSEQUENTLY TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE WARNING LIGHTS HAD NOT CHANGED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE. I THEN WENT STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY RAN THE 14-0020 TSB WHICH SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER RESTARTING CAR, IT SOMETIMES STAYED ON, AND SOMETIMES WOULD CLEAR. HAPPENED ~ ONCE A MONTH, THEN STARTED TO HAPPEN WITH ALARMING FREQUENCY IN JULY 2014. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALMOST EVERY TIME CAR WAS USED. IN SEPT 2014, CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON FOR TWO WEEKS. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAN BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE AGAIN FREQUENTLY. CAR WAS TAKEN BACK IN AGAIN AND TECH'S WORKED FOR TWO DAYS ON VEHICLE AND HAD ISSUES FINDING A ROOT CAUSE. CAR WAS NOT FIXED BUT WE WERE TOLD TO BRING BACK IN AGAIN. ON 10/3/2014, I RAN A VIN RECALL LOOKUP, AND NO RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR MY CAR ALTHOUGH ISSUE SEEMS TO ALIGN WITH A RECALL ISSUED BY FORD ON SEPT 24-25/2014. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE POPULATION OF AFFECTED VEHICLES IS LARGER THAN THE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2013 FORD FUSION, I HAVE HAD A VERY SERIOUS MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OVER THE PAST 3 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK, BRAKES NOT TO WORK, EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORK AND FINALLY THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM ON 2 OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME WAS MARCH 28TH AND AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 7 HOURS I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN?T HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT IT AND THAT I SHOULD BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK. I ASKED THEM WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD ?KEEP TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR? AND BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK. THE WEEK OF THE 31ST THRU THE 4TH I HAD TWO MORE OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR IN ON APRIL 4TH AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I ASKED FOR A RENTAL OR A LOANER CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN?T HAVE ANY. I DIDN?T DRIVE THE CAR THAT WEEKEND BECAUSE I DIDN?T FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN IT. ON APRIL 7TH I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND AS A RESULT I WENT THROUGH A 6 FOOT TALL STONE WALL THAT WAS REINFORCED BY REBAR. I WAS LUCKILY NOT INJURED, I HIT THE WALL BETWEEN 20-25 MPH AND HAD NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TAKES CARE OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND SPOKE WITH DIVANA IN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT LIABILITY WITH THE CAR. THIS WAS ON APRIL 8TH . ON APRIL 11TH I WAS CONTACTED BY FORD AND TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO AND THAT I SHOULD CALL THEM BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I POSED THE QUESTION IF I WERE DRIVING AT 75 MPH A HIT A 18 WHEELER WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO. I GUESS THEY WOULDN?T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A COMPLAINT. *JS

THESE LOW PROFILE TIRES AND RIMS ARE TERRIBLE. I BARELY HAVE 35,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE 3 TIRES DUE TO HITTING A POTHOLE OR ROADWORK. IT CAN'T WITHSTAND REGULAR WARE AND TEAR! THIS VEHICLE HAS COST ME MORE MONEY AND TIME WASTED FROM ALL THE RECALLS, THE LIFTING OF THE WINDSHIELD AND PAINT LIFTING OFF THE FRONT HOOD.

RETURN HOME AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SOLID. NEXT MORNING TO TO DEALERSHIP TO REPORT TROUBLE. WAITED TWO HOURS TO HAVE CAR LOOK AT. I WAS TOLD NEEDED A #1003 MODULE WHICH WAS NOT A STOCK ITEM. TOLD TO DRIVE CAR AND THAT NONE OF MY AIRBAGS WILL WORK IN A CRASH. I WAS UPSET TO DRIVE CAR,THEN WAS TOLD AIRBAGS NOT A FIRST LINE SAFETY ITEM AND SEAT BELT WAS SATISFACTORY. I AM 66 YEARS OLD, JUST WONDERING IS THIS A NORMAL WHO CARE NONE SAFETY MATTER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON I-25 WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 75MPH, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STOP FORWARD ACCELERATION AND INSTANTLY BEGAN DECREASING SPEED. IMMEDIATELY, I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO NO AVAILABLE POWER. THE ENGINE REFUSED TO COMMUNICATION WITH THE ACCELERATOR AS THE RPM WOULD JUST INCREASE BUT NO ACTUAL POWER WAS GIVEN TO THE VEHICLE. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND BUT EVENTUALLY HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE NO POWER WAS AVAILABLE. EVEN AFTER SOMEHOW AVOID 3 LANES OF CONSTANT TRAFFIC, I ATTEMPTED TO START DRIVING AGAIN WITHOUT SHUTTING THE VEHICLE DOWN. DURING THIS POINT ALL THAT WOULD STILL HAPPEN WAS THE VEHICLE WOULD REV THE RPM'S, BUT NOT PROPULSION WAS AVAILABLE. I HAD TO SHUTDOWN THE CAR COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO RESPOND TO ANY TIME OF GAS DEMANDS. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AND BELIEVE I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE LOSING POWER WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 75MPH CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IT CAUSES IMMEDIATE PANIC FROM THE DRIVER AS THEY ATTEMPT TO DRIVE SAFELY OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME, FORD MECHANICS BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON THE RECALLED FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. SINCE CLEARLY THAT WAS NOT THE REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THAT MORE INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL SCOPE OF THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER THAT MYSELF AND MANY OTHER HAVE EXPERIENCED. *TR

CAR SURGES WHILE TURNING AS IF IT HIT A PATCH OF ICE, REGARDLESS OF SPEED, BUT ONLY WHEN REGENERATIVE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. HAPPENS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND IS CONSISTENTLY REPRODUCED, MORE NOTICEABLE WITH HIGHER SPEEDS. REGENERATIVE BRAKING IS ALSO INCONSISTENT, AT TIMES IT WILL NOT PROPERLY SLOW THE CAR DOWN. AS MORE PRESSURE IS APPLIED, THE CAR IS NOT SLOWING AS EXPECTED, AND HAS GONE INTO INTERSECTIONS AS THE TRANSITION FROM REGEN BRAKING TO HYDRAULICS DOES NOT OCCUR QUICK ENOUGH, AND FEELS LIKE BRAKES ARE FADING. DEALER AND FORD HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID NO TROUBLE CODES, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AS IT IS NEVER KNOWN IF THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN USING THE REGENERATIVE BRAKES OR NOT UNTIL THEY ARE APPLIED. I DO NOT FEEL FORD IS TAKING THIS SERIOUS ENOUGH, AND REFUSES TO SPEND TIME TO DIAGNOSE. *TR

(TAKATA RECALL) I HEREBY STATE THAT I WAS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT 03/15/2014 THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALED OUT BUT WAS NOT DONE SO.THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THE WAY AND THE IMPACT THAT I WAS HIT BY OTHER PARTY. I THAN TOOK THIS VEHICLE NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO HASTING FORD IN GREENVILLE NC WHERE THEY WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE RESEARCHED AND PROPERLY CHECKED AND FIXED EVERYTHING DETAILED. I AM YET TO THIS DAY STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SHIFTING GEARS CAUSED BY ACCIDENT,BODY IS COMING APART, CAMARA IS NOT WORKING AND I AM STILL SUFFERING FROM THE BODILY INJURIES OF MY HIP BEING SHIFTED FROM ACCIDENT. I AM SEEKING LEGAL ATTORNEYS AT THIS TIME DUE TO I FEEL THAT FORD COULD HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE AND REPLACED THIS VEHICLE KNOWINGLY THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO ME THE CUSTOM. AT THIS POINT I DO FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUFFERING AND VEHICLE EXPERIENCE THAT I AM ENDURING AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR MORAL SUPPORT. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME FROM A SIDE ROAD DRIVING 60 MPH WITHOUT BREAKING SPEED CRASHING INTO MY 2013 FORD FUSION.THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN WAKE COUNTY NC. AROUND 12:45 P.M. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (0-10 MPH) THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE DOESN'T RESPOND, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO FURTHER PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY RESPONDS, IT RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR SPORADICALLY AND, ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. UPDATED 04/06/16*LJ UPDATED 04/14/16.*JB

I WAS TRAVELING 55 MILES PER HOUR IN THE HYBRID MODE, WHEN I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN VERY SUDDENLY FOR MUCH SLOWER TRAFFIC. APPLYING MY BRAKES FIRMLY, THEY LOCKED UP, CAUSING MY CAR TO SWERVE BETWEEN THREE LANES WHILE THE BACKEND FISH TAILED BACK AND FORTH. I COULD HEAR THE TIRES SKIDDING ON THE PAVEMENT AND MY STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *TR

THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED, I.E., THEY EITHER DO NOT STAY ON LONGER THAN ONE FLASH CYCLE, OR THEY SHUT OFF PREMATURELY. THE FUNCTION IS NOT BEING CONFUSED WITH THE 3 FLASH LANE CHANGE FEATURE THIS FEATURE WORKS 100% OF THE TIME. PREMATURE SHUTTING OFF OF THE TURN SIGNAL TYPICALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) OCCURS WHEN MAKING A TURN FROM A FULL STOP. WHEN THE SIGNAL IS ACTUATED, IT FLASHES FOR 10 30 SECONDS WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT (WHEELS ARE POSITIONED STRAIGHT AHEAD). WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGES AND I JUST BEGIN TO TURN THE WHEEL, THE SIGNAL SHUTS OFF. THE IMMEDIATE SHUT OFF ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN AS FREQUENTLY AS THE PREMATURE ISSUE, BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, I CANNOT GET THE TURN SIGNAL TO FUNCTION FOR MORE THAN ONE FLASH AT A TIME. BOTH DESCRIBED ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD. THIS ISSUE WILL BE REPORTED FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES IN FOR ITS NEXT SERVICE. *TR

FOURTH OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE! DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, APPROACHING ROUNDABOUT, DECELERATING FROM 40MPH, VEHICLE LURCHED AND LOST POWER AND BEGAN RAPIDLY DECELERATING. WRENCH/POWERTRAIN LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THEIR FIFTH ATTEMPT AT REPAIR. *TR

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE FAILURE MESSAGE CONTINUED TO DISPLAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE DOOR TO INADVERTENTLY OPEN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHERE A CHILD WAS SEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE LATCH WAS REPLACED WITH PART NUMBER BE82-5426413-D. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A CHILD SEATED NEAR THE FAILED DOOR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:15V246000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE PART WHICH WAS USED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BEFORE WOULD BE USED AGAIN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,083.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOWDOWN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT DELAYED TO START. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ON ROUNDABOUT, VEHICLE LURCHED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION. POWER TRAIN LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE STOPPED, BLOCKING ENTIRE ROUNDABOUT AND STOPPING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE PUSHED BY DO-GOODERS TO BERM. THIRD OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE, DEALERSHIP REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE NOT CORRECTED. *TR

WHILE REACHING OVER TO MY RIGHT TO PUSH A PRESELECTED RADIO SELECTION BUTTON, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT. NO DAMAGE. BUT THE PLACEMENT OF THE RADIO TUNER TO THE RIGHT OF THE CONSOLE MAY CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO REACH OVER AND SWERVE. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND ONTO HIGHWAY WHEN MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DASHBOARD. PRESSED ON GAS PEDAL AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. RELEASED GAS PEDAL AND VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, REACHING SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45MPH. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, AND CONTINUED SHOWING THE SYMPTOMS OF NOT MOVING WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED, BUT WOULD STILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHEN NO PEDALS WERE PRESSED. *TR

THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING . YOU COULD BE GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION OR GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY .THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENS NO ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. THE CAR THEN GOES INTO A LIMP HOME MODE OF SORTS, WITH AN TOP SPEED OF 25 MPH THEN 5 MPH THEN BACK TO 25 MPH , IT'S KIND OF THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN THERE'S WATER IN YOUR GAS. GOING UP ANY HILLS CAN BE A PROBLEM AS THE ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER FOR THIS TASK. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR SOMEONE BEING KILLED. *TR

AFTER PURCHASE OF FORD FUSION 2013 FROM NORTHAMPTON FORD NORTHAMPTON, MA 01060 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS INCLUDING THE ALARM BELL EVEN ON HIGHWAY. THEY FINALLY TOOK IT IN AND SAID IT WAS A ELECTRICAL HOUSING UNDER SEAT. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF RECALLS ANS REPORTED TROUBLES ABOUT MAKE AND MODEL, MAINLY AIR BAG. WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP REPAIR CENTER THEY WERE RUDE AND CONTINUE TO STATE DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX RECALLS. I FEEL FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD BUY MY CAR BACK FOR WHAT I OWE, IT IS A LEMON. I NO LONGER TRUST THE PRODUCT TO HAVE MY SON DRIVE IT.

I RENTED A 2013 FUSION TO TAKE MY SON BACK TO COLLEGE. ON THE WAY HOME I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE CAR , I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT PLACED THE CAR IN PARK BUT LEFT IT RUNNING . AS I WAS BENT DOWN LOOKING BENEATH THE CAR IT WENT INTO REVERSE AND STARTED ACCELERATING BACKWARD. MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS WITH ME HAD THE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN TALKING TO ME AND WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO BACK UP THE DOOR KNOCKED ME OVER AND DRAGGED ME BENEATH IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 4-6 FEET BEFORE SHE COULD GET THE CAR TO STOP. I HAD SEVERAL BRUISES ON MY RIGHT SIDE ALONG WITH BRUISED RIBS WHERE THE DOOR GOT STUCK ON THEM WHEN IT DRAGGED ME. I ALSO INJURED MY LEFT ELBOW WHEN I FELL TO THE GROUND WHICH HURT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I COULD NOT PUT ANY KIND OF PRESSURE ON IT FOR THAT TIME. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE RENTAL COMPANY AND FORD. THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORT FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY CAME BACK INDICATING THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. FORD RESPONDED WITH AN E-MAIL TO CONTINUE TALKING TO THE RENTAL COMPANY AS ONLY THEY COULD HELP ME. *TR
