When driving vehicle on warm starts, vehicle stalls and engine loses power. Warm start means any time vehicle was driven, turned off, and then restarted after less than 30 minutes of being turned off. For example, when fueling at a gas station, or making a quick errand into a store or fast food restaurant. One once occasion, vehicle also stalled after shifting to drive after an extended period of idling (approx. 20 minutes - was idling hoping to avoid stall when beginning to drive again). In general, vehicle will start (but may need a few tried before turning engine over), and idles at 500 RPM, rather than expected 1000 RPM. On acceleration, when vehicle reaches 2500 RPM or greater, needle drops to 0 and vehicle shuts off while driving. On some occasions, vehicle will also stall/shut off when decelerating as well (particularly in parking lots or instances when one may drive and stop/slow frequently). I took vehicle to mechanic and learned that turbo charger was leaking oil into throttle body - both were replaced by mechanic, but issues persisted. The vehicle stalls while driving, putting the safety of myself, my passengers, and other vehicles at risk in case of collision due to sudden stall. The vehicle has been taken to my local mechanic as well as the Ford dealership - in both cases I was advised that the check engine light was not on, and that there was nothing they could do until the light came on or vehicle was stalling consistently. The vehicle is now stalling consistently, however dealer informed they are not able to do anything because the engine light is still not coming on. The dealer did confirm they were able to reproduce the issue, and my local mechanic also confirmed reproducing the issue. These problems began on or around January 5, 2023 and vehicle was first assessed by local mechanic on January 11, 2023.

I began receiving a brake line warning that my system was leaking, and needed to be filled. I replaced the brake fluid in my vehicle, and less than two hours later the car said the same warning. I couldn’t brake without pushing the brake all the way too the floor

Two days ago on 12/29/22 I noticed white smoke coming from tailpipe. Later that day noticed the coolant level very low. Later on that day started the vehicle and it violently shuttered for about 5 or 6 seconds after starting. This same thing had happened to my daughter the day before. On 12/30/22 was at mechanics discussing catalytic converter issue due to an alarm and he noticed the smoke. I told him about the low coolant level and the violent starting. He said these motors (1.5l Ecoboost) are notorious for having a cracked cylinder wall and that I probably had that or a blown head gasket. He said he determined this due to the white exhaust smoke and smell and the coolant level being low and the violent startups. I came home and began online research. There are thousands of these claims on these motors as well as a lawsuit against Ford, which my vehicle falls into.

The contact owned a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V162000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics), a few months approximately four months after the vehicle was destroyed.

Air bags failed to deploy during a roll over accident. Vehicle is in the possession on State Farm insurance.

I had a flat tire. When I went to get the lug nut wrench it was not there. Since this was the first time that I removed the spare tire and the lug nut wrench was not there it appears as though the car never came with one. I called AAA and they had to destroy the outer coating of the lug nut in order to remove it as it seemed to have swollen 1/2 size. I took the car to my service provider and he said that all of the lug nuts were the same and no wrench would fit them. I had to have all lug nuts replaced with ones the correct size and I had to buy a new Lug Wrench to make up for the one I never got. The total cost was $337.02 which I would like Ford to compensate me for.

Coolant started leaking into the engine block. Appears that the reason for this leaking into the engine is because of a design flaw that Ford is aware of in the ecoboost versions of their engines. The vehicle is now un-driveable because of the risk of overheating and safety risks.

Check engine light on. Engine coolant over temp Took vehicle to dealer, the verdict was; Removed all spark plugs & using bore scope detected coolant intrusion in cylinder 3. Needs long block assy.

I purchased my car on 9/22/21 with 103,000 miles as well as opting into the extended warranty offer. Since then, I have had a LOT of issues. It was taken to the dealership on 8/1/22 due to an issue with acceleration; the car would stop operating while driving to a point where I’d have to pull over, turn it off, then turn it back on. The check engine light would come on with code P0299. I had to pay for the repair since it was deemed it was a vacuum leak...which wasn’t covered in my warranty. The issue returned shortly after, so my car returned to the dealership on October 3,2022. The diagnostics indicated I needed a new transmission, so I didn’t receive my car back until November 19, 2022. Shortly after receiving my car back, I noticed coolant leaking to the bottom of the engine. There is also white residue on my spark plug in the first cylinder. I have just returned from the dealership to have my vehicle diagnosed (5/16/23), but I was told I have exceeded the mileage for the warranty coverage; to have my car diagnosed for the 3 issues, it would cost $199.99 each....and it may result in requiring a new engine....which would cost around $8,000. So essentially, I am now stuck paying a car note on a vehicle that has had several MAJOR issues not even 2 years into ownership.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 110,000.

Engine coolant leaking from the head gasket due to poor engine design. Safety of passengers in and outside the vehicle. Vehicle was running hot and possibly could have caused A major malfunction and blew the engine. This has been confirmed by a dealership and an independent service dealer. The check engine light only threw codes for a cylinder 2 misfire. After replacing all spark plug. the problem of the leaking coolant was then noticed without a warning light.

Flex Plates in Ford Fusions with EcoBoost engines are continuously breaking. They have a recall issued for Ford Edge 2016 with the same engine as Ford Fusion 2016 but none for the Fire Fusion. Once these break you can lose power while driving which can be extremely dangerous if on a highway. There is clearly an issue with the flex plates used and a recall should be issued to fix these.

The drivers side sun visor will fall down in front of my face when I try to adjust it. It will dangle from its wires on the left side (main pivot point). This is very dangerous when it happens while driving. It cannot be put back in its place without stopping the car and repositioning it back in the whole that it fell out of. And it Will fall out again when moved. It has happened several times to me and my wife.

Trunk opens randomly. As seen on many forums it is a common problem. Ford dealer wanted a diag fee with no promises to fix.

The brake lines ruptured and the pedal went to the floor on the drivers side front wheel. It is in for service right now at Auto ER at 2383 SW Archer Rd, Gainesville, FL 32608.

2016 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 22V-413. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS.

Coolant intrusion leak busted a block and now I need a new engine. I took good care of this car. It all of a sudden started running hot, water sloshing sounds, engine light came on. Took it to Ford auto shop in Wiggins Ms where it was purchased by my son in law and then I payed him $16,000 cash for it and only had it a year. It all happened so fast on the interstate bridge and it was very dangerous because the car shut down quick and I had to call a tow truck. Please help me get another engine this is so wrong. I hate to know this could happen to someone else with a Ford Fusion and cause a fatality. This problem is 100 percent Fords responsibility.

On 11/18/22, I left the house to pick my son up from school. Several blocks later, I tried to stop at a stop sign and found I had no brakes. The brake pedal pushed all the way to the floor with no resistance and little effect. Prior to this moment, there was no indication of brake troubles. Thankfully, I was not yet in the school zone, which could have been disastrous. I was able to slowly navigate back home, where we checked and filled the brake fluid, which promptly and completely drained on our driveway. Only after this time did the low brake fluid light come on. I had to have my car towed to a mechanic, where they found the right front brake hose was split open and the left front hose was bulging dangerously. Both front hoses were replaced, costing over $400 in parts, labor, and towing.

Over the last few months, the trunk has been opening randomly - this has happened while parked in the driveway, reversing out of the driveway and also while driving. Sometimes when I close the trunk, it stays shut. Other times, it just pops back open and I can hear to mechanism whirring to unlatch.

2016 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 22V-413. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES RELATING TO THE RECALL.

While driving around 35 mph I turned on cruise control and shortly after lost acceleration and power to the engine. I put the vehicle in park and pressed the engine start and the engine turned back on like normal. The next day while driving I lost power again while going about 15 mph. The car randomly loses acceleration and pressing the accelerator does nothing. The "Full Accessory Power Active" message popped up. The check engine light is on and shows code P1450. This is so dangerous since you have no warning and it can happen at any time and any speed. I am taking the car into the dealer to inspect.

My fusion is experiencing a coolant leak in the engine. After research, I have found it is a KNOWN problem by ford, that several people are experiencing. They are refusing to issue and recalls or cover any repair costs associated with the issue.

While driving at a high rate of speed the vehicle’s brakes completely failed nearly causing a serious crash. The car ended up rolling up and over a median causing damage to the vehicle. Upon inspection the from right brake hose ruptured causing a complete loss of brake fluid and loss of braking ability.

I took my 2016 Fusion in to have the timing belt changed after crossing the recommended 125,000 miles. I received a call from the head mechanic telling me that they had halted all work due to evidence of coolant leaking into the engine. He told me that this was a common defect/design flaw found in these cars that Ford has yet to issue a recall on. He then quoted me an exorbitant number for complete engine replacement. A number I cannot afford. Another Fusion was in their bay that day with exactly the same problem. They had already extracted the engine from it and showed me the area of the engine that was so poorly designed. I took photos, as it was the same engine in my vehicle. The channels for coolant to flow between cylinders in the block were made too large, thus causing the block walls to become compromised, allowing coolant to flow INTO the block, which will eventually seize the engine, which is terrible dangerous and costly. There were no signs that this was occurring with my engine (not lights, not driving issues that I am aware of as a layman). Missing coolant was likely refilled during my oil changes, and no one informed me that my coolant was always low. After looking up the problem online, I found a HUGE community of Ford owners (not just Fusion owners) who have or have had the same problem with the EcoBoost engine. Thousands. Perhaps millions. This MUST be remedied. There are outstanding lawsuits that have not yet been resolved, and I will likely be joining one of the Class Actions if something is not done soon.

While picking up my daughter from the ER last night, the door latch on the drivers side would not latch and close. This happened without notice. This is definitely a safety hazard to me and others on the road. We had to tie an old scarf on the door handle while the person on the passenger side pulled as tight as they could to keep the door closed. Although I saw that some 2016 Ford Fusions had Recalls for door latch/lock but unfortunately the Ford dealership and Ford motor company said that my car didn’t have a recall. Fortunately for us we were still in ER parking lot when this happened. Ford knows that the Fusions has had problems with the latch and lock mechanism on the doors and they should honor that! This is my only reliable transportation and both my husband and daughter are disabled and we rely on our(car)Ford Fusion for doctors appointments and I have to take my 11 year old granddaughter to and from school. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter.

My trunk keeps popping open when it is not signaled to. This is a safety hazard for me because I do not want people to have access into my car. This is a safety hazard for others because my trunk can open while I am driving, resulting in my belongings flying out, becoming an obstacle for those driving behind me. According to the Car Gurus website, I am not the only one while this make and model who is having the same issue.

Break hose was recalled by Ford but Ford refused to fix it until it broke. I expressed my concerns about safety and was told by the dealership they hadn’t seen the hose break yet. While driving my break fluid suddenly went out and my peddle dropped to the floor. I barely missed hitting someone with my car. I called the dealership and was told I’d have to bring the car in next week. I called cs and expressed concern and was told I could take it to another one even though I was scared to drive it that far. I called the other dealerships and no one answered. Another repair shop got me right in and it was in fact the hose that broke.

I have a silver 2016 ford fusion the problem is the latching from driver door and rear right side door . I take very good care of my cars for this to happen twice is not my doings but the car. I was off to do some errands I opened my driver side door I got in and closed the door and it shut completely I started to drive off I came to a stop where I was turning right, when I turned right my door opened and I almost crash to a car that was coming straight . I fixed the door latch then a couple weeks later the same thing happens to the rear right side door thankfully there was no car or objects near me i could have crashed into .

I drive a 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid with approximately 105,000 miles. The transmission (HF35 hybrid) recently started making a whining noise. The vehicle was diagnosed at a Ford service center as needing a transmission replacement due to failure of the transfer shaft gear assembly bearings. Issues with premature failure of the transfer shaft bearings for this transmission are well documented online and in multiple Technical Service Bulletins (TSB 14-0214, 16-0105, 17-0039) spanning several years. Previously, a Customer Service Satisfaction Program 14B07 was established to replace transmissions with this issue, for 2013-2014 model years. The program expired; however, many vehicles were produced with the same transmission issues after this Customer Service Satisfaction Program expired (including 2015 & 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrids built before Aug 2015). It is clear Ford was aware of the transmission issue when these later year vehicles were sold. I have reached out to Ford for assistance in repairing this defect but they have not provided any support. These defective bearings will certainly fail in thousands of cars currently on our roads and highways. Transmission failures are unpredictable and could result in dangerous vehicle behavior and vehicle accidents. Repair of this transmission defect is cost prohibitive for many vehicle owners and will force them to continue to drive the cars with failing transmissions. Ford, or the NHTSA, should issue a recall or Customer Service Satisfaction Program, to repair/replace these defective bearings both for public safety and to value their customers.

On November 28th 2018 my 2016 Ford Fusion was taken to R. D. Sawyer Motor Corp. (a Ford dealer) to have work for Recall 18S20 performed. On 10-21-22, the exact symptoms that Recall 18S20 were designed to prevent, "unintentional roll-away", were experienced by my daughter after she parked the vehicle on a mild incline. Although my daughter had moved the shifter into Park, the vehicle was actually in Neutral which allowed the vehicle to roll forward. Fortunately, there was an earthen embankment in front of the parking space so the vehicle did not roll very far before it was lodged against the earthen bank. I shudder to think what could have happen had it been parked in a spot that was without a barrier in front of it. A silent, rolling, unmanned vehicle could easily take the life of an unsuspecting pedestrian. The vehicle was towed to Levittown Ford (3195 Hempstead Turnpike, Levittown, NY 11756) where it had a repair done at a cost of approximately $1,300. I think that another recall should be required immediately as it is obvious that the manufacturer's attempt to correct their defective design has failed.

The APIM on my 2016 Ford Fusion Energy is, as per the local Ford dealership service department, refusing to take software updates provided by Ford rendering the instrument control cluster inoperative on an intermittent basis. This means that at the least from my personal experience the backup camera (to me, a safety issue), radio (inconvenience), navigation (inconvenience), bluetooth/phone (dialing, hands free - to me, can be a safety issue), and some climate/HVAC functions (inconvenience), do not work. I do not know if the collision avoidance system is also affected. Please see NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V406000 for similar issues for different Ford models. The question here is that Ford is offering a software update for free, but the software as written is not capable of updating the APIM in my car. If Ford agreed to fix an earlier APIM problem with other models with a free software update, and the software update does not install properly on Ford equipment rendering useless safety-related functions, does the consumer then have to pay for the fix? I have asked the service department at the dealership to provide me with the module. I confirmed with national Ford Customer Service that Ford is unwilling to offer any support for parts (about $700) and/or labor (about $600) for a version of the APIM that will take the software update as written (we hope). I did attempt Ford's instructions for updating software and was not successful; the dealer confirmed that their efforts to update the software after several tries were not successful either. I attach a photo of the first error message received when the problem started. Please see other NHTSA complaints that appear to be related, although I do not know if software updates worked in those instances - 11321932, 11300724, and 11052887. Please also see the comments on Ford APIM issues from customers posted on the following website: https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/ford-apim-recalls-you-need-to-know-about

All the exterior lights went out. None of them will come on.

I was driving my car on the interstate at 75 mph and had the cruise control on when the wrench light came on and the car started slowing down and losing power. I pulled over and shut the car off for a few min, started driving, and it did it again. A couple of mechanics I've talked to said it could be the throttle body positron sensor or the throttle body itself. I've had the fuel pump and fuel pump modulator and relays checked. I've also had the spark plugs checked and changed and the issue was still there. The car has a mileage of 71,000. The car is still not fixed at this time.

The vehicle started leaking coolant into the engine at just under 100k miles. I took my vehicle to Sunrise Ford in North Hollywood, California, and they want just over $10,000 to replace my engine. I've taken care of this vehicle since I purchase new and have always taken care of it. I do not have the money to replace the engine for more than the car is worth. I've spent money on replacement parts, such as, spark plug coils, spark plugs, and valve cleaning. All this seems to be associated with the coolant leaking into the cylinders. At this point, I continue to add coolant to ensure that I do not overheat the engine. I've also stopped driving the vehicle.
