2012 FORD FUSION Unknown Or Other Problems

The door locks on the driver and passenger doors open on their own and not working properly. Car has 53000 original miles. It is just like the problem that are in the recall of the 2014 and 2015 Ford Fusion. The latch on both doors are independently sprung in open mode. One incident where the driver door opened while driving.

Power steering service, advancetrac warning and symbol on dash light came on as a message when car was shut off and restarted there was no power steering

Door latch keeps falling have to roll down the window to open the door from the outside

The electric power steering assist (EPSA) function of the car is no longer functional. It is available for inspections upon request. The vehicle began intermittently losing power steering when the vehicle would start. The problem can now be re-produced each time the vehicle is started. The problem is a known issue with this model Ford Fusion and was part of a previous recall. This vehicle was serviced by the Ford dealership during the times the recall was in place and had the EPSA re-programmed. The issue still persists, and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. The recall is no longer in effect and Ford will not remedy the issue.

Transmission issues. Jerks and shudders and loss of power, broken motor mounts, PCM issues, misfire issues and etc. Car threw codes, many expensive trips to Ford dealerships, excessive undriveable down time, unsafe to be on a highway or go up a hill when it shifts (automatic), 6F35 Transmission in my 2012 Ford Fusion

A few days ago, I drove my car to college and on my way there, a message about the Service Advancetrac popped up on the dashboard. I parked my car, and when I was done with my classes, I returned to my car and turned the ignition on. At that point, another message appeared on the dashboard: SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW, and my steering wheel became hard to maneuver. Despite the difficulty, I was able to drive home safely.

AIR BAG LIGHT RECALL

I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND EVER SENSE I GOT TIRE FIXED MY TRANCTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THEY SAID MY CAR WASNT COVERED .. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD ISNT FIXING THEM CAUSE FROM WHAT IVE READ ALOT OF FORDS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IM ON A FIXED INCOME HOW WILL I AFFORD TO FIX MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPARTATION?

The braking system failed. Yes it’s available upon request for inspection. The safety of myself and others were put at risk because it caused me to hit something in front of me. I stepped on the brakes and the pedal went straight to the floor. This has happened multiple times it is putting my safety as well as my children’s safety at risk. When I step on the brake pedal there is nothing goes to the floor till I pump the pedal. Initial Lu when hitting the pedal it jerks the steering wheel out of my hand to the right every time. It’s not only putting my children’s, and my self in harms way but any other driver that might be even near me while driving considering it takes the steering wheel out of my hand uncontrollably.

Door handle failures (inside the vehicle) are very well documented and very well known to break off the mechanism required to open the door. This isn't just a minor annoyance, it is a MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, caused by either poor design, poor materials, poor process control, poor validation testing, poor part quality or poor management in concealing this as not being worthy of a recall. How many lives are you willing to risk before doing a recall? The problem has been well known & documented for well over a decade, and it is still happening in the field. If someone has not died from this door lever failure it is only a matter of time. My family's lives are in jeopardy every time we drive this vehicle with a known likelihood of the door handles failing to open the door. You may not be able to open any other door, depending on the damage from an auto accident, but Ford has not taken responsibility for this high-risk to life and limb of its occupants. For such a cheap injection molded plastic part with no glass-fill, it is apparent that you went with the cheapest material possible. You've done it for over a DECADE and choose to ignore the problem until someone sues you or dies as a result of this safety problem. Whether it is a knitline defect you have no process controls to prevent part weakness, or the excessively small part fillet, or the material thickness, subpar material properties or molded part process flow problems, Ford is clearly cutting corners on the design & manufacturing of well documented and well known failures in the field. This is unacceptable, requiring your customers to waste over $200 every time it breaks, all the while being unconcerned about the serious safety risk to occupants in your vehicles. This is the problem with unethical engineering and business practices in the automobile industry. You will be held accountable only when someone dies from your decades of negligence & disregard for the safety of your customers.

Did not put car into park and was able to turn key fully back and remove the key from the off position. Car started rolling on slight incline. No issues other than rain sensor wipers not always working, so maybe an issue in column. Have not taken to dealership or mechanic yet.

My drivers side door handle will only work from the outside I was told to contact the highway safety admin because it’s technically a safety issue if I had and emergency and had to hurry up and exit my vehicle. It’s like jammed or something and doesn’t lock until I manually lock an lock my door but I’m unable to get out from the inside safety and I was already in a car accident once in my life I would really like to get my door handle fixed please

my car rolls away in park 2012 ford fusion

Power Steering Assist Fault and Service Advancetrack error codes appear on the digital dash display. Power steering does not work. The Ford dealership the vehicle was bought at and is serviced at allowed me to drive out of the lot in the car's current state because the vehicle is 7 months out of the extended warranty 10-year recall.

Driver’s side door latch/handle suddenly became unoperational from the interior of the vehicle. This is a safety hazard — after struggling with the handle to get out of the vehicle, my wife resorted to climbing over the console and exiting out the passenger door. Called local Ford dealer and they say because the 2012 door latch is not under recall, they won’t replace the handle without us paying parts and labor. They expressed no interest in exploring this safety issue short of us bankrolling the cost, despite the fact that there are recalls for this same safety defect on Fusions in other production years. The 2012 door latch should be recalled. The handle is toast - we cannot exit our Fusion out the driver’s door. We are ordering a part to replace the latch, performing the labor ourselves.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the power steering assist failed, and the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver. The contact pulled over and parked the vehicle in a parking lot where it remained. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V340000 (Steering) had expired for the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 194,790.

Mileage: 194,790

Started the vehicle, immediately received a prompt informing me that the power steering needed to be serviced. The steering wheel is completely stiff, rendering the vehicle inoperable. According to NHSTA, there was a recall issued for this issue however my VIN number does not fall under the recall. Initial estimates range from 1500, to 2000. It is a known issue for 2012 ford fusions, yet my vehicle does not qualify for the recall. Which seems very unreasonable.

Electric power steering assist fault. Had power steering one minute and the next minute it is extremely difficult to steer. Called Ford and told them the issue. They said that the recall for this had been done already. They downloaded new programming, but never changed the part. Then they put an extended manufacturer warranty to 150,000 miles. Incident happened just over the extended warranty period and have done research on many complaints about the same issue. Ford refuses to do anything about it and repair costs are over $2,000.00. This is extremely dangerous and may cause serious injury or even death at higher speeds. Luckily no one was hurt this time.

Power Steering Assist Fault. When attempting to operate vehicle, it would not allow for steering. This put my entire family at risk for accident.

The powersteering fault was never taken care of when we went to get it fixed at the dealership. We had taken it in because it was a recall error and because the fault "didn't show up" when they were trying to fix it they said that they couldn't do anything about it and returned the car to us in less than one day which the work that was actually required would have taken longer to do. We didn't know what to do or how else to complain but now the vehicle is permanently stuck with this error and wont budge.

2012 Ford Fusion SE 4cyl 81,782 miles Power Steering Rack failure - Hazardous situation without previous system degradation, warning or indication. Loss of steering control, not able to steer, steering wheel would not turn without using great force. After engine stop and restart, the dash lamps were illuminated: Fault Lamp = Service Power Steering Now Fault Lamp = Service Advancetrac System Problem happened during a vacation road trip in the mountains of Kentucky. The vacation was interrupted. The car towed to Greenwood Ford dealership in Bowling Green KY. Fault not covered under recall or warranty. Steering rack replaced at a cost of $3200. Ouch. will it happen again? Dealer could not return failed parts to me without additional $1500 core charge paid by me. We also paid towing and rental car costs. The same failure is happening to many 2012 Ford Fusions.

Our 2012 Ford Fusion began displaying a “POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT” summer of 2021. We did not record the 1st instance of this fault, but began recording subsequent instances on 7/25, 10/18, 10/20, 10/21 On 10/21 the vehicle also displayed “SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC.” We were unable to steer the car when the fault occurred, although we were able to put it in reverse or drive, which seems extremely dangerous. Fortunately, these instances occurred while parked. The vehicle ignition was turned off and restarted, which cleared the fault & power steering resumed. This vehicle had less than 69,000 on Aug 4, 2021 when taken to Courtesy Ford in Portland, OR where the vehicle was purchased to replace the driver side airbag under recall notice received in the mail. We had them investigate the power steering assist fault during the same service. We were advised that the Ford mechanic was “Unable to duplicate customers concern” and “No fault codes in the system.” The vehicle was then taken to Damerow Ford in Beaverton, OR on 11/18/21. The next day, 11/19/2021, we were advised of an electrical problem in the steering assembly. We were told that it needed to be replaced along with some bolts and nuts. The invoice indicates that the steering gear assembly was replaced & gear was programmed. The bill came to over $2205.62. We’ve discovered through an online search that Ford is well aware of this problem & has been for years. We’ve been told by both dealers our VIN number is not included in the recall and the extended warranty for this issue, which makes no sense. Fortunately, we did not experience the lack of steering while driving, as others have. Our lives & vehicle & the lives and property of others on and along the roadways we have traveled were jeopardized with a well known safety issue & Ford Motor Company is not standing behind their product. Do we have recourse for reimbursement from Ford Motor Company through the NTSB for this unethical corporate behavior?

The power steering goes out and a warning message comes on saying power steering assist fault. Called a Ford dealership and they said there was no recall for this.

Driver passenger side door would not open from the interior requiring the driver to roll down the window and open the car door from the external handle

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after parking and exiting the vehicle, the vehicle was rolling away. The contact jumped back into the vehicle and restarted the vehicle and then depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. In addition, the contact noticed that the shifter was in park however, the gear shift indicator displayed that the vehicle was in reverse. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact who is a mechanic, diagnosed that the shifter cable needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

On 1/25/21 the vehicle power steering completely locked up and the car was towed to Ford dealership for fix. Ford fixed and car was picked up on 1/27/21. This happened at mileage of 67593 while my teenage son was driving putting him and his passenger in danger of an accident. On 9/13/21 once again the vehicle power steering completely locked up and the car was towed to a Ford dealership to fix and car was picked up on 9/16/21. This event happened at mileage of 74341 again while my teenage son was driving putting him and his passenger in danger of an accident. On 10/11/21 for the 3rd time the power steering went again and the car is currently at a Ford dealership to be fixed. This time the mileage is at 74544 and again my son was driving this vehicle putting him in danger of having an accident. On all 3 of these instances the warning lamp came on immediately before the loss of power steering. My concern is clearly the fix being performed is not solving the problem, putting my teenage son at risk of an accident.

Driver and passenger door handles are not working. Cannot open the drivers side door from the inside. Cannot lock the passenger door.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering and excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact also stated that the traction control, power steering, and tire pressure warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to a dealer where they informed him that his vehicle was previously included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V340000 (Steering). The contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact the same information as the dealer. The contact stated that only a software update was performed with the prior recall and that no actual repairs were performed on the power steering. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

Mileage: 115,000

MY 2012 FORD FUSION IS REVVING HIGH AND SHIFTING WEIRD. NOT LIKE SLIPPING BUT IT'S REVVING A LOT IF HER THEN IT SHOULD BE. ALSO THE TACHOMETER SHUDDERS EVERY NOW AND THEN AT 1600 RPM. MY FATHER TOLD ME THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD FUSIONS TRANSMISSIONS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS DRIVING IT.

I BROUGHT THIS UNIT AT AN AUCTION, BUT THE WHEEL CONTINUES TO LOOK ON ME.... NOW SEVERAL LIGHTS ARE ON INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE.

THE INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BREAKS AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE CAR WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND USING THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES EXITING THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY DIFFICULT AND COULD LEAD TO INJURY. THIS APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON WITH THE FORD FUSION.

I STOPPED TO GET GAS, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED ROLLING FORWARD AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT. I LEAPED BACK IN AND HIT THE BRAKE AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T START BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERING THAT THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK. I WENT INTO THE GEAR SHIFT AREA BY PULLING OFF THE CENTER CONSOLE AND MANUALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL SO I COULD START THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THAT SIMILAR ISSUES WERE FOUND IN 2013 AND NEWER FORD FUSIONS AND THEY WERE RECALLED. I'M THINKING THE 2012 YEAR FORD FUSION SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CAN CAN BREAK INTERNALLY WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES SUCH AS A HOT SUMMER DAY ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE PLASTIC USED OFF-GASES AND LOSES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OVER TIME UNFIL FAILURE OCCURS POTENTIALLY TRAPPING A PERSON WHO IS UNABLE TO REACH THE EXTERIOR HANDLE IN THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS IS A PATTERN OF HAPPENINGS WITH THE 2012 FORD FUSION DUE TO A CHANGE BY FORD IN DOOR HANDLE CONSTRUCTION. REPAIRS ARE OFTEN INEFFECTIVE AS IT IS REPLACED WITH A SIMILAR PART THAT FAILS IN THE SAME MANNER.

ALL OF THE CARS ARE THE EXACT SAME INTERIOR AS MINE APPEARS TO BE ON THE VIDEOS IN WHICH THIS BREAKAGE OCCURRED. I HAD JUST PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE MY BOYFRIEND OPEN MY DOOR TO LET ME OUT OF THE CAR

I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY FORD FUSION, I'VE TRIED THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE, AND IT WON'T OPEN THE DOOR, TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY TOLD ME DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN, NOT UNDER WARRANTEE, I'VE BARELY HAD MY CAR 2 MONTHS, TRIED ROLLING DOWN DRIVER'S WINDOW, AND THE DOOR LOCK HAS JAMMED, TWICE, CAUSING ME A LIFE DEATH SITUATION, WHERE, I WAS LITERALLY TRAPPED IN MY CAR FOR 25 MINUTES, TWICE, NO PHONE OR WATER, AND PASSERBY'S DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED, JUST TO HELP ME GET MY DOOR UNJAMMED.

I WAS DRIPPING WET WHEN I FINALLY FOUND A WAY OUT OF MY CAR. THIS DOOR HANDLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTEE, AND IT SHOULD BE, FOR PEOPLE ON LOW INCOME SITUATIONS, OR HAVE A RECALL ON THE DOOR LOCK AND HANDLE SITUATION, BECAUSE IT'S A MANUFACTURES DEFECT, BUT, FORD WON'T ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DO IT HANDLES BREAKING AND TRAPPING PEOPLE IN THEIR CARS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, SO FORD CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEFECT AND REDESIGN IT DIFFERENTLY SO THE DOOR HANDLES DON'T BREAK,AND TRAP PEOPLE IN THEIR CARS. MY CAR IS NOW DANGEROUS TO ME, I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT SAFELY WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF, AND THAT'S VERY, VERY BAD. I DON'T WANT TO DIE IN A HOT CAR IN AZ, THAT'S A SLOW DEATH. PLEASE HAVE THIS DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM RECALLED, AND COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE'S SO FORD CAN FIX AND PAY FOR THEIR OWN MECHANICAL PROBLEM INSTEAD OF THE LOW INCOME SENIORS THAT NEED DEPENDABLE CARS.

PURCHASED A 2012 FUSION SEL WITH 35XXX MILES IN FEB16. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2016, THE A/C BLOWER BEGAN TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY ' MANIPULATION OF THE WIRE HARNESS SUPPLYING POWER TO THE RESISTOR WOULD CAUSE THE BLOWER TO TURN ON/OFF. THE BLOWER ONLY RAN AT ONE SPEED (I.E. THE RESISTOR WAS BAD). THE BLOWER AND RESISTOR WERE REPLACED. THE ISSUE IS ONCE AGAIN OCCURRING AT ~80,000 MILES. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT (BLOWER PULL TOO MUCH CURRENT AND FRIES THE RESISTOR) WITH THIS VEHICLE AND, OFTENTIMES, FORD DEALERS ARE ONLY REPLACING/REPAIRING THE BLOWER AND RESISTOR. HOWEVER, IN MY EXPERIENCE (AND LIKELY MANY OTHERS), THE WIRE HARNESS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AS CONTINUITY THROUGH THE WIRING IS ALSO AFFECTED WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING. FURTHERMORE, THEIR DEALERSHIPS/SERVICE CENTER PERSONNEL ARE NOT ADEQUATELY EDUCATED ON HOW TO PERMANENTLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE (THIS IS EVIDENT BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT REFERENCE THE ISSUE RECURRING AFTER ONLY THE BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTOR ARE REPLACED). THEY ARE CHARGING FUSION OWNERS $500+ TO PUT A TEMPORARY BAND AID ON AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE WELL UNDERSTOOD BY NOW.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY UPON RETURNING FROM ERRANDS. THE NEXT MORNING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER PARKING AT MY WORKPLACE. USUALLY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RESET AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2012 FORD FUSION AND OTHER FORD MAKES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE VIN # ON MY FUSION DOESN'T MATCH ANY CURRENT RECALL AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS IS A KNOWN FORD PROBLEM WHY SHOULD IT NOT COVER MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR RECALL ? JUST BECAUSE THE VIN # ISN'T IN THE SYSTEM IS NO REASON NOT TO FIX THIS. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM,MANY SITUATIONS EXACTLY LIKE MINE RECORDED ONLINE. HOW ARE THEY (FORD)NOT RESPONSIBLE?

(THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE AND OWN)

DOOR LATCH BROKEN. DRIVERS INSIDE DOOR LATCH BROKEN SO YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. COMON PROBLEM THAT GOES BACK TO 2006 MODELS. PLASTIC MECHANISM FAILS AND DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. ALSO DOOR WILL NOT LOCK SO THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE SECURED. PREVENTING SOMEONE FROM GETTING OUT OF THE CAR HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS A TSB FROM 2006 ON THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL FUSION, MILANO, AND LINCOLN MKZ MODELS. A RECALL ON ALL DOOR LATCHES INSIDE THE CAR WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

SECOND TIME INSIDE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKE, CAN'T GET OUT OF VEHICLE UNLESS YOU ROLL DOWN ELECTRIC WINDOW AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. CAR HAS TO BE TURNED ON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE TO CLIMB OUT TO PASSENGER SIDE. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. FORD ONLY WARRANTS THE HANDLE WHEN FIXED BY THEM FOR TWO YEAR. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT 15 MONTHS AND IT BREAKS AGAIN. HERE GOES ANOTHER 216.00 PLASTIC PART INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS.

WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP WELL AT LEAST FELT THAT WAY JUST WAS REALLY HARD TO STEER. I ENDED UP HITTING A POLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T REALLY CONTROL MY CAR. ALSO I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS RECALL AT ALL AND COULD'VE PROBABLY PREVENTED THIS INCIDENT IF I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS RECALL . NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE SO NOW I'M STUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GOING TO GET MY DAUGHTER TO HER APPOINTMENTS AND HOW I'M GOING TO GO TO WORK AND MAKE MONEY TO PAY BILLS DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY CAR IS NOW SITTING ON THE GARAGE SITTING THERE

MY THROTTLE BODY IS GIVING ME ISSUES. IT WILL HESITATE AND REACT AS IF IT WILL STALL ON OCCASION WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL JERK BADLY. NO ENGINE LIGHTS APPEAR ON MY DASH, HOWEVER I WAS NOTIFIED BY FORD THERE IS A REPLACEMENT EXTENDED WARRANTY, YET THAT EXTENSION DOES NOT COVER THE INITIAL CHARGE FROM THE DEALER TO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY OUT, WHICH IS DEAD WRONG OF FORD. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COVER ANY AND ALL CHARGES REGARDING THIS THE THROTTLE BODY. IN ADDITION MY VEHICLES RACK AND PINION OR PWER STEERING SUEELS ALOT WHILE IN DRIVING, IVE CHECK FLUID LEVELS AND THEY ARE NORMAL, YET IT WILL MAKE ALOT OF NOISE.

MY ADULT SON WAS USING MY VEHICLE. HE PARKED MY VEHICLE IN HIS DRIVEWAY AND CLOSED THE DRIVER'S DOOR. WHEN HE WENT TO USE MY VEHICLE, THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. HE HAD TO GO TO WORK, SO HE ENTERED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER GETTING TO WORK THE DRIVER'S DOOR STILL WOULDN'T OPEN SO AGAIN HAD TO VACATE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO OPEN EITHER. THEY CALLED FORD DIRECTLY FOR INSTRUCTIONS. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS A FAULTY LATCH (SAME REASON THEY ARE NOW RECALLING FORD FUSION FROM THE YEAR 2013-2014 - MINE IS A 2012). I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AND THEY SAID THEY WILL REPORT IT AND I TOLD THEM I WOULD DO THE SAME. THEY MADE ME PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I FELT SINCE IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT, THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE OF $100. I HAVE A CASE # FROM FORD: CAS-10775544-Z653C9

CARS START HONKING AT ME AS I AM SLOWING IN FRONT OF THEM AND ALMOST CAUSE ACCIDENT, TAKE TO FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER READING INFO ON RECALL. THEY REPLACE THROTTLE BODY. HAPPENS AGAIN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE SO TAKE BACK AND THEY GIVE ME ESTIMATE FOR $892.10 FOR $100 DIAGNOSTIC AND THE REST FOR VAPOR CANISTER PURGE SOLENOID AND VAPOR CANNISTER.

ALL MOST WAS REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THREE TIME CLOSE CALLS. HAVE TAKING CAR AND HAD IT PLUG IN FOR ELECTRONIC CHECK BUT NO CODE SHOWS UP . THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED I HAVE READ ON LINE OF A LOT OF OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED . FORD DEALERS JUST WANT TO THOUGH PARTS AT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT OR CAN NOT TELL ME WHAT THE REAL CALLS OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS. I SURE HOPE WITH YOUR HELP ALL THE FORD FUSION OWNERS CAN GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE SOME ONE GET KILLED.

FAILURE OF INSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO FACILITATE OPENING OF DOOR WILL PROHIBIT TIMELY EGRESS OF VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND REAR PASSENGER'S INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. THESE FAILURES OCCURRED DURING NORMAL USE AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS OPENED LESS THAN AN INCH OUT OF THE LOCKED POSITION AT THE TIMES OF FAILURE. DUE TO THE BENCH SEAT NOT PROHIBITING EGRESS OUT THE OTHER REAR DOOR, THIS COMPLAINT WAS NOT ISSUED DURING THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILURE. THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE HAS JUST BROKEN.

Mileage: 67,000

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH AND LOCK ARE BROKE. YOU CANNOT OPEN THE CAR DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, YOU CAN ONLY OPEN IT BY ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOWS. SOMETIMES IT WONT SHUT PROPERLY AND SOMETIMES IT IS ALSO A STRUGGLE TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE (AS IF THAT OPTION OF OPENING IT MIGHT BE GONE SOON). THE FIRST OCCURENCE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION.

Mileage: 80,000

THE INSIDE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH DID NOT LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION (THE OTHER THREE DOOR LATCHES DID). I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 12 MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE DOOR LATCH REMAINS IN THE EXTENDED OPEN POSITION. THE DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE TO EXIT OR ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR CAN NOT BE LOCKED MANUALLY OR USING THE KEY FOB. I AM UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE NORMALLY. TO EXIT I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, THEN IN ORDER TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP AGAIN I HAVE TO GET IN THROUGH ANOTHER DOOR, INSERT THE KEY AND REACH OVER TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.

WHEN I TURNED ON THE FAN TO CIRCULATE HEAT OR COOL AIR NOTHING HAPPENED. THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE AC AND HEATING HAS FAILED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS; 12/13/2013, 6/24/2015, AND 5/26/2016. THE LAST TIME THE FORD DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AS WELL. THE LAST REPAIR COST $730. ANGELA KEEVIS, FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME SINCE I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR THE REPAIR. MY SON NEEDED THE CAR FOR HIS HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PROM SO I NEEDED TO PAY THE BILL ASAP.

THE CAR WAS PARKED ON IGNITION ON. MY MOTHER, ALICE, WENT OUT IN THE EVENING TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF DID NOT LOOK LIKE IT WAS CLOSING, SO MY MOTHER REACHED UP HER HAND TO FEEL. HER FINGERS WERE THEN CLOSED AND LOCKED INTO THE SUNROOF. THE OPEN BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK TO RELEASE HER HAND. NEIGHBORS CAME TO HELP, TURNED OF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN TO TRY AND OPEN THE ROOF, BUT IT WOULD NOT OPEN TO RELEASE HER FINGERS. CROWBARS WERE USED TO TRY AND RELEASE THE FRAME FROM HER HAND, BUT IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. POLICE HAD TO BREAK THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF TO RELEASE THE FRAME FROM HER HAND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IF A CHILD'S HAND WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED. THEY NEED TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY SENSER TO NEVER CLOSE AND LOCK IN PLACE IF THERE IS AN OBSTRUCTION, OR AN EMERGENCY RELEASE. NOW, MY MOTHER HAS TO FACE MEDICAL AND INSURANCE COSTS. I TYPE THIS IN HER PRESENCE ON HER BEHALF, DUE TO HER RIGHT FINGERS BEING INJURED. WITH THE GRACE OF GOD, NO BONES WERE BROKEN. ANYONE CAN RELATE TO HOW PAINFUL AND TRAUMATIZING IT WAS FOR HER TO HAVE HER HAND CLAMPED AND LOCKED IN PLACE WITH NO RELEASE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. YESTERDAY, WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, MY THROTTLE BODY LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I WAS PRESSING THE GAS, BUT IT WOULD NOT PICK UP AT ALL. I HAVE A 4 YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IF MY CAR IS GOING TO STALL AS I ENTER TRAFFIC. THE THROTTLE BODY SHOULD BE RECALLED!

THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE LOCKS THE MINUTE YOU CLOSE THE DOOR, AND BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSANGER SIDE HANDLES BROKE AT THE SAME TIME.FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $440.00 TO FIX THEM.

THEN I START TO HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE PERHAPS OR THE WHEEL UNSURE AND AS ALL THAT WORSENS, I CAN FEEL THE CAR LOSING CONTROL LIKE IT'S GOTTEN A FLAT TIRE. POWER STEERING GOT STIFFER WHILE THE CAR KIND OF DRIFTED LEFT AND THEN RIGHT AS THO I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR WENT WITH NO PROBLEM.I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO SEE IF ANY CODES WOULD SHOW IN THE COMPUTER. NOTHING SHOWED. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP A CODE P2111 "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN" SHOWED. ON THE WAY HOME, DRIVING AT 50MPH IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN.

AT FIRST THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE ( AROUND 500 RPM'S) WHEN THE CAR UPSHIFTED WHEN IT WAS COLD. AS THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION WARMED UP THE INCREASE IN RPM'S UPON UPSHIFT LESSENED. IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "SLIPPING" AS IT WENT THROUGH THE GEARS...YOU COULD HEAR THE ENGINE SPEED UP AND WATCH THE TACH TO CONFIRM WHAT I WAS HEARING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY HOWEVER THE CAR STILL DOES IT. NOTE THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER THE 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AT THE TIME AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR HAS A 60K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ANYWAY. I DID NOT LIKE HIS STATEMENT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS IT SOMETIMES REVS BETWEEN SHIFTS WHEN IT IS WARMED UP. FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND REVIEW MY PROBLEM FURTHER. I PLAN TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY. PLEASE ADVISE.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR THE CAR WILL VERY ROUGHLY GO INTO GEAR, AND SECOND TO THIRD AND THIRD TO FOURTH IS NOT MUCH BETTER. FROM FOURTH TO FIFTH AND FIFTH TO SIXTH IS FINE MOST OF THE TIME. I HAD TWO CALIBRATION UPDATES PERFORMED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR AND LET THE UPDATE SET IN. AFTER BOTH TIMES I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY, INSTEAD AFTER THE LAST UPDATE THE ISSUE PROGRESSED. I HAVE PLEADED WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO TRADE MY CAR FOR ANOTHER FUSION (SAME VALUE) AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TOO MUCH NEGATIVE EQUITY. INSTEAD I WAS TOLD I COULD GET A FORD FOCUS AND HOW EVER MUCH I AM "UPSIDE DOWN" THEY WOULD ROLL IT OVER TO THE PRICE OF THE FOCUS. I TOLD THEM THAT WASN'T FAIR AND THAT I WANTED ANOTHER FUSION THAT DID NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD THAT PLANET FORD COULD NOT HELP ME AND I SHOULD GET ANOTHER OPINION IF I WAS UNHAPPY. SO I WENT TO ANDERSON FORD AND HAD THE MECHANICS RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT TO SEE IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. WHILE ANDERSON FORD WAS DIAGNOSING MY CAR I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL FUSION THAT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY CAR AS FAR AS SHIFTING. I ALSO WAS SPEAKING WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT MY ISSUE AND WENDY (CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER) TOLD ME THAT IF ANDERSON FORD DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG I WAS GOING TO BE STUCK WITH THAT CAR. ANDERSON FORD REPORTED THAT NO WARNING CODES COULD BE FOUND AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I TOLD THEM THE DIFFERENCE I NOTICED IN DRIVING THE RENTAL FUSION AND MY FUSION AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DISREGARDED IT. I WAS GIVEN MY CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD IF I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT I NEEDED TO TRADE IT IN AND DEAL WITH THE NEGATIVE EQUITY. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERS ABOUT DIFFERENT CARS AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE MY CAR IN BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MUCH NEGATIVE EQUITY. PLEASE HELP ME ON THISISSUE SO I CAN GET A CAR THAT OPERATES CORRECTLY.
