Complete loss of power steering. Service advancetrac light on Hill assist not available 2016 fusion but is not included in the recall. Car was sold to me and is registered in Pennsylvania, the salt belt. Ran scanner got codes U0240 and C102D. Clear codes, immediately get power steering back. Slowly lose power steering again, until complete failure. Super unsafe, first time this happened I was on the turnpike with my son. Speed limit is 70 m.p.h. I had to go 40 with my 4 ways on. Barely had control of my car. Very scary.

The in-dash backup camera stopped functioning about 2 years ago. The errors are random and range from glitching video, delay in activating, not switching off(driving forward with rearview camera activated), and a error code pop-up to contact the dealer. 100 percent of the time, the image is displayed in reverse making backing up impossible.

The same issue with the backup camera as the other vehicles in current recall. The 2016 Ford Fusion should be on that list as well.

My complaint is, why does my 2016 Ford Fusion 1.5L 4-Cylinder EcoBoost Engine continue to be excluded from these major recalls? It's not fair as I deserve to have my engine, clock spring, & my rear view camera replaced just like the other Ford vehicles! I purchased my 2016 Fusion in 2018 & only a couple of years later I started having problems with the rear view camera but the dealership said that it wasn't covered under the warranty. I have always smelled engine coolant & oil but was always told that there is nothing leaking on the ground so there's nothing to worry about. Also I reached out to you guys in 2024 with the Gmail address of [XXX] ) about my steering wheel clock spring & never heard anything back, so I purchased a new one on [XXX] & replaced it myself when it arrived. Also earlier that day, I had my valve cover replaced at Brad Howell Ford in Kokomo, IN because I have been constantly losing oil & smelling oil burning. Even after that, I continued to smell oil & engine coolant but still get told that there's nothing leaking. Well my next oil change after that, I told them to check again because I had to add more oil, & that's when they determined that it was the turbo drain tube, which they replaced on Nov.5, 2024. That stopped the oil smell, but I continued to smell engine coolant which I continued to report to them, & at each oil change, they continued to top off the engine coolant. On Aug. 12, 2025 Brad Howell Ford decided to run a camera down into my cylinders & discovered that there's oil & coolant leaking down into my #2 cylinder. I contacted Tonia Frataccia, Customer Experience Specialist, Ford CX/Team, & I was told that my VIN# didn't make the recall list & that's why my engine wasn't replaced. It's not fair as my vehicle has the same defective engine & parts as the other recall vehicles & I deserve to have my car repaired also at Fords expense. Please help me, I need my car. Thank you for listening. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving on the expressway. My car Went into limp mode it didn’t stall completely out, but I was not able to accelerate any eventually the wheel became tight. every light came on.. I made it safely off the expressway. My car would not start the ODB port is not reading. I’ve taken it to several mechanics all of them say that it’s my PCM. They said my PCM needs to be reprogrammed. There’s currently an active recall from my exact car but when I search my vin It tells me I have no active recalls.

Seemingly randomly all center console functions and door functions shut off (no a/c / heat, can't roll down/up windows, outside ambient temp and can't unlock/lock doors from inside buttons (key still works as well as door handle unlock / speed lock) can be hazardous in even mild temp as interior heats up quickly without air flow. Other non-important functions that stop working include radio/stereo and back-up camera. Research points possibly to bcm apim miscommunication or improper grounding.

rear view camera works ( sometimes ), The rear view camera worked fine for years, but I brought the car in for basic service at the Ford Dealer > oil change, tire rotation, fluids topped off > and after this repair, my rear view camera wasn't working.. I brought it back to the dealer, and they claimed what they did had nothing to do with the rear-view camera.. The service manager said a new camera would cost $ 800, but they would do the repair for $ 500 ( which seemed odd, but that's a story for another day ). Regardless... with all the news I'm reading about Ford recalls, including rear view cameras... I feel this rear view camera issue started years before they think, or will admit to, and should be investigated. I can bring my car into any nearby location for inspection if requested.

engine light turned and, scanned it and code is P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire detected. Coolant is leaking into the engine. I have looked online and multiple people have had this issue, majority of them taking their vehicles to Ford dealers and being told they need an engine replacement. I have taken my vehicle to a mechanic shop and was told the same thing. my safety was at risk because this issue caused my engine to overheat and the engine would not turn on for a while after. with coolant being mixed in with the oil, it damages the engine and can cause the car to stop being functional while you are still operating it.

I have had road salt contamination with the electrical wiring to the power steering causing the wires to become brittle and break causing a power steering failure in a right curve which caused the steering wheel to jerk the car to the left nearly causing a collision. The power steering failed again due to high friction inside steering gear and has a broken bolt on the EPAS motor to the steering gear.

The trunk randomly pops open at random times. From the vehicle to being parked or driving down the highway. Multiple mechanics as well as Ford have stated they are unable to locate any problems. Once it is popped it takes 30-45 seconds for the clipping to stop before the trunk will close again. Often it will immediately re open and I have to go through this cycle 3-4 times before it stays closed until the next incident

When audio system is turned on or volume is turned on, loud cracking booming and static noise comes through at random moments. More noise occurs while driving 55+ but still occurs when idiling. The audio occurrence has almost caused several accidents since its loud ear piercing noises that comes from speakers. I have taken it to the ford technician to no avail. Due to other forums this is a issue with most fusions. The noises started occurring after my back up camera was replaced.

On Saturday [XXX] I noticed when I opened my driver side door, the dash light & the light on my touch screen began flickering. I didn't think much about it at the time, but the next day, [XXX] as myself & my wife were traveling on the highway, I tried to turn on my cruise control but it would not come on. I then tried to adjust my stereo volume on the steering wheel & it wasn't working either. Well, the next day I checked the fuses & they were fine, so that's when I went online & found out that the clock spring in the steering wheel could most likely be the problem. Well I decided to dig a little deeper into the matter & I found out that some 2016 Ford trucks had been recalled because of faulty clock springs which also could cause the airbag not to deploy when needed. I was just told by an employee from a local Ford Dealership that the 2016 Ford Fusion was not a part of that recall, which I believe should have been a part of that recall, because I'm pretty sure that the same clock springs that were used in those 2016 trucks, were used in the 2016 Ford Fusions. I would like to ask that you would please look into this mater, because this is a serious mater, & I think Ford needs to fix this problem. They should be responsible for all of their vehicles with these bad clock springs & not just those trucks only. Thank you for your time & all you do to keep us safe on the road. God Bless you all!

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the battery had failed several times and was replaced approximately 5 times. The contact also stated there was exhaust coming out of the tailpipe during the initial start-up. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V162000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the alternator was producing 20 volts while accelerating, causing the battery to overheat and burn out. Additionally, cylinder #3 was misfiring due to anti-freeze leaking into the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and it was confirmed that there were no recalls related to the failure. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 142,728.

Date of first incident was Nov 19, 2023. I was driving home from taking my elderly mother to the doctor and my engine just shut off. I had plenty of gas, my oil and transmission had been changed, no warning lights came on my dash prior to the engine stopping. The only message I had on my car said the car is not in park. No one can seem to find out why. It has done this at a moderate rate of speed (45mph). My steering wheel locked and I can't steer the car giving me the option to get to a safe place on the road. I have to hit another vehicle or hit a pole. I have good insurance but I don't want to use it to fix body damage. I can't afford that with a 300 dollar car payment. My break sensor error light will come on as well and I went to have the breaks changed and fluid replaced but it doesn't work. I am afraid that I might get hurt or someone else will, but I can't afford another care to help care for my parents or get to the doctor. The Ford dealership will not let me trade it in unless I give them 7000 dollars. The transmission will Jerk when changing gears. I still owe 9000 dollars. I looked online to see if I could find a solution and multiple people are complaining about the same problem.

My trunk pops open by itself, without being activated. So far, if I keep my car locked, it will stay shut, but it has popped open while the vehicle was in motion. This is a safety hazard! It has been happening every day for the last several months.

Rear camera works intermittently. The Ford Dealer service said it failed and it'll be 800.00 to fix... I passed on that... but now that I'm seeing other Fords with camera recalls, I wonder if this problem is related.

This incident has happened to me more than once in the past few months. I am driving along the highway and all of a sudden I lose my power steering. The dashboard reads STEERING ASSIST FAULT. Service required. As well as Service Advance Trac. Safety issue because going at moderate speed to get onto highway and losing all power steering could cause me to go off road if in bad weather like rain or snow. In each situation all it took was me pulling off road and resetting the car by turning engine off and then turning it back on. I have take it to a Ford dealership near me and they ran a full diagnostics but couldnt find anything really wrong with it but it continues to happen at least once a month. Ive read similar incidents with Ford Fusion owners on Google and they werent sure as I that if it was the brake sensor or ABS Module that needs to be replaced. Any assistance or advice you could give me would be appreciated.

There is an issue with the (evap) solenoid/associated sensor that causes the vehicle not to restart at unexpectable intervals and the fuel delivery system is also affected during fueling and seemingly during acceleration, at least. The key was recently replaced and association between the problem and the key reading mechanism is unspecified. A power train affect/association is also likely component- that based upon information provided to consumer. I've heard similar problems with other Fords and in other conversations it has not been indicated to me that the models' component's failure is not problematic. It has not been stated how that is contributory to the increased collision risk associated with the brake component that is a current recall. It began prior to the key replacement which is in the dealer repair record and 4 weeks prior to this submission is listed as the incident onset date.
There is an issue with the (evap) solenoid/associated sensor that causes the vehicle not to restart at unexpectable intervals and the fuel delivery system is also affected during fueling and seemingly during acceleration, at least.

In the last 4 years the battery has had to be replaced 3 times. Each time the car runs great then is shut off and the next day won't start, no lights and can't even get into the car without the key. The vehicle can't be jumped or battery charged, everything is dead. Upon replacing the battery everything works fine for about 2 years.

Vehicle won’t start so I called my roadside/towing assistant number got someone out to do battery jump service because I been through this before twice come to find out that wasn’t the issue might needed more gas still wasn’t the issue so I got the vehicle towed to a shop it came back I needed the dealership to reprogram the vehicle they couldn’t because it wasn’t drivable so I got it towed to another shop just for them to tell me I need a new engine they didn’t know what cause the problem but just off what they seen while doing a diagnostic was low compression on all cylinders oil full and normal color (not brunt) coolant is full and clean warranty doesn’t want to cover parts that’s needed for the vehicle like cylinder head gasket check engine light always came on after repairs was fixed

When driving my 2016 Ford Fusion, the Transmission Not In Park light comes on without any other warnings. This is unsafe because it stops accelerating. Most times I'm on the freeway. This is a safety issue that has been happening for about 2 years now. The dealerships tell me that they can't fix it because the safety issue does not occur when they have the vehicle and cant read any codes. One Ford dealership sold me a radiator and told me that was the issue. A different Ford dealership told me that it has nothing to do with the radiator. No one seems to be able to repair this safety problem that I am experiencing. Another Ford dealership told me that there is a recall but my VIN Number does not fall in that recall. How can I get my vehicle associated with the recall and have it repaired. I feel so unsafe driving especially in construction zones where I am unable to pull over. Once I coast across traffic to pull off the road I stop the engine. It starts right back up. This is unsafe. No vehicle should stop accelerating while driving. The service lady at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle stopped returning my phone calls. How can this safety issue be rectified as soon as possible. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle.

Our camera cuts in and out. We took it to Ford initially to run a diagnostic but they killed our battery doing the test and never finished. Now the camera is showing things opposite..our mailbox is on our right backing out but camea shows left. Same when a car pulled to our right but camera showed left and caused us a scare. Completely unreliable. It cuts off/on constantly when using it to back out and sometimes doesn't beep.

The engine coolant leaked into the cylinders as a result the car had rough idles and startups with overheating issues as well we dying on me completely while driving. Confirmation on coolant leak by big o tires, solution is new engine. There was a cylinder 3 misfire code with the check engine light.

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.

My trunk keeps opening on it's own. With the keys on me, not in my hands. Without the keys on me. While driving, while not driving, just completely at random. My trunk is continuously opening. From my research this seems to be a pretty common thing for this make and model of car, and I think it's time that it be recalled and fixed. It's not safe from a driving standpoint nor a personal safety standpoint.

Temporarily Lost communication with the Climate System. When this error appears on the dash the following doesn’t work: AC and Heat are shut off completely. None of the controls on the bottom half of the center console panel work. This includes the heated seats, radio knobs, or any climate control button, rear defrost doesn’t work. The climate control quadrant, the lower right, on the touch screen doesn’t work. The outside temperature doesn’t work. The control buttons on the door don’t work, can’t adjust mirrors, seat recalls or control the windows. When there is no AC and can’t lower the windows, this is very bad in the summer can cause heat stroke. Bad in the winter can’t keep the windows free of ice. Happens very sporadically, even while driving it turns off. So far, the trouble shooting seems to indicate a wiring harness under the driver seat as the problem. Numerous owners have reported this problem. The dealers have not been able to resolve the issue. Even after paying 1000s of dollars.

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 .

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

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.

Soon after purchasing this vehicle the Bluetooth and phone links quit working. I researched and found an abundance of complaints regarding this issue. After contacting dealer and manufacturer I was basically told tough luck on this $1100.00 repair. In my opinion this is a safety issue since not being able to talk hands free can increase driver distraction. Furthermore; several states have enacted laws against hand held phone calls. Since this is an advertised feature, Ford should step up and correct this issue!

Recall on the shift cable caused my vehicle to completely stop working/ moving while I was out with my son. No notification was ever giving to me in regards to this problem. This has caused so many issues, specially not given a rental car to be able to to move around. My vehicle is not drivable all because of a recall from Ford company. Ford refuses to provide a rental or any assistance. Being a single mother, Making it hard for me to go to work or even see my kids.

Three of four door locks have malfunctioned. As well as electric driver side seat. We have fixed two at our expense, they are obviously defective. Unable to lock doors, a person could fall out. Dealer has confirmed issue and has attempted to get Ford to take responsibility. Has not been confirmed by police, etc No warning lights. Similar vehicles have had same issue and have been recalled. I don’t think we should have to pay for this expense when there is a known issue. We are requesting that this lock gets repaired and we are reimbursed for other two locks to be reimbursed. Thank you for your time. Vickie

“Temporarily Lost communication with the Climate System” when this appears on the dash, AC won’t turn on, windows won’t roll up or down, defrost doesn’t work, nothing on the dash works except hazard lights, doors won’t lock, can’t adjust mirrors.

Car lost power and just cut off right on Railroad Tracks, managed to get it restarted, called dealership in my area, took it in. They stated their computer wasn't finding anything. After a heated discussion, I finally got the head mechanic to drive it and it did the same thing to him. He said new fuel pump, so it costs me $810.00, labor included, which I thought was rape. Just a ridiculous charge, but hey I'm at the mercy of them!!! Three (3) weeks later same thing happening, just cuts off, leaving me on highway at night. Took it back, they put another fuel pump on, no charge. Week and half later, Key Fob doesn't unlock doors, even after putting a new battery in. Tire Pressure FAULT came on and car continued to cut off, again leaving me in a very dangerous situation, but I GOT LUCKY. I took it back to the dealership and told them the Liability is on them. The Car is DANGEROUS and UNPREDICTABLE, "I do not feel safe in it" and they need to keep it until they can determine what is wrong and STOP playing a guessing game. I have read over 788 complaints about this vehicle and the same things are happening to other people. I will proceed with Attorney's, News Media and Insurance Companies if this is not rectified. THE CAR IS A DEATHTRAP!!!

I’m not certain how or when but the hood sensor must be wrong because it always says the hood is open no matter how I close it

Trunk/deck lid pops open at random times. Weather conditions and time of day do not appear to be a factor as to why or when the trunk pops open. When it does happen the release mechanism clicks continuously for ~10 seconds or until you click the lock button on the fob. It will pop open when you begin to drive, up to the point that the car auto locks. This started happening approximately one year ago, September 2020, and lasted for a few weeks and then stopped. It started popping open again in the spring of 2021 and lasted for a few weeks. It has started popping open again in the beginning of September 2021.

It will pop open when you begin to drive, up to the point that the car auto locks. This started happening approximately one year ago, September 2020, and lasted for a few weeks and then stopped. It started popping open again in the spring of 2021 and lasted for a few weeks. It has started popping open again in the beginning of September 2021.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power to the radio, windows, and power steering. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who checked the wiring harness and was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Vehicle is a Plug In Hybrid, it was left in the garage (first floor of the house) overnight charging the EV battery. Sometime in the night, plugged in, no key in the ignition, the engine started and ran until it ran out of gas (in the garage with the door closed and my son sleeping on the 2nd floor over the garage). We were lucky no one died of carbon monoxide poising. In the morning the 12v engine battery was dead, smelled like it may burned up, my guess is the battery dying confused the computer. The vehicle is out of warranty, taking it to the dealer will cost me $1,000. I'm guessing that replacing the 12V battery will fix it (which is a lot cheaper). I don't plan on ever putting it back in the garage but someone needs to warn everyone else that has one of these!

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, he was unable to link his phone to the vehicle’s computer module without warning. While researching the issue, the contact discovered a manufacturer’s recall for similar vehicles regarding the failure. The dealer was contacted about the failure and was informed that they were unable to assist him. The contact was referred to the manufacturer. Once the manufacturer was notified of the issue, the contact was informed that there would be no assistance because the Vin was not included in the recall. The contact was given a case number and was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

We purchased a used 2016 Ford Fusion with about 11,000 miles on it. Within the first 2 weeks we started having issues. These issues have been going on for several years with no fix from Ford. The issues involve the dash not working, no heat, AC, no power steering, no break lights, no headlights, no turn signals. We go to start the car and the main screen never turns on. Basically we have the ability to use the gas and brake and nothing else. We’ve had the car back to the dealership multiple times. Each time they’ve hooked the computer up to the car they’ve said it throws so many codes they don’t know where to start. They wipe the codes, give us the car back and say if it does it agin bring it back. Well we did just that and the usual process repeated. They told us today they couldn’t fix what was wrong unless the problem happened while they’re driving it. 2 times now I’ve narrowly avoided an accident because of the cars electrical system dying while driving it. This car is unsafe to drive as this happens randomly. Ford has been less than helpful at resolving this issue since we’ve bought the car. We’ve got several warranties on this car and it seems to be all for nothing. We also have video and picture proof of these incidents. Ford refuses to look at them stating they need the vehicle to do it while they’re driving it after the massive amounts of codes are cleared.

RECENTLY, BOTH OF THE FRONT HEATED AND COOLED SEATS ON MY FORD FUSION STOPPED WORKING. I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE BURNT CONNECTOR IS DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE SCME MODULE AND THAT BOTH THE CONNECTOR AND SCME WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $596.11. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THE MODULE IS FAILED, AND THAT REGARDLESS, A MODULE FAILURE SHOULD NEVER RESULT IN A CONNECTOR BURNING AS ALL THIS CIRCUITRY SHOULD BE FUSE PROTECTED AGAINST OVERCURRENT WITHOUT BURNING. I TOLD THEM THAT I BELIEVED THE MODULE APPEARS TO BE FAILED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM BECAUSE THE GROUND TO THE MODULE HAS MELTED AND HAS THUS BECOME DISCONNECTED. I COMPLETED SOME INVESTIGATION AND THE FAILURE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING TO THE SCME MODULE (SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE) UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT RESULTS IN OVERCURRENT TO A GROUND PIN TO THE SCME, WHICH RESULTS IN THE CONNECTOR MELTING AND BECOMING DISCONNECTED FROM THE SCME. I AM CONCERNED DUE TO FIRE RISK IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AS WELL AS ANY IMPACT THIS FAILURE MAY HAVE ON THE SEAT AIRBAGS. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF BY REPLACING THE CONNECTOR AND ADDING A SECOND GROUND WIRE TO THE SCME TO PROVIDE PROPER GROUNDING. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE MELTED WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR ON MY CAR.

WHENEVER I UNLOCK MY VEHICLE THE TRUNK OPENS. SOMETIMES IT OPENS WHILE DRIVING.
THE ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) FAILS AFTER A FEW YEARS, LEAVING THE CAR PHONE INOPERABLE ON THE SYNC SYSTEM, FORCING THE USER TO MANUALLY DIAL AND PLACE CALLS ON THEIR CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING, WHICH HAS BECOME ILLEGAL IN MANY STATES AS IT TAKES THE DRIVERS EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR PERIODS AT A TIME. THE FORD FUSION ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH LEAKAGE IN THE TRUNK. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE, UNTIL SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT VARIOUS FUSION OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IT MAY START TO AFFECT THE LIGHTS IN THE TRUNK OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT RUN THROUGH IT, START TO RUST AREAS IN THE TRUNK, AND CAUSE MOLD IF NOT PROPERLY DRIED IMMEDIATELY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY STRAIGHT WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AND SUDDENLY IT FELT LIKE I HIT A HUGE POTHOLE, BUT I DIDNT. SHORTLY AFTER 4 DASH LIGHTS CAME ON WHICH ARE THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. STEERING IS HARDER AND BRAKES DO NOT WORK SOMETIMES. THE CODE, WHEN HOOKED UP COMES BACK AS ABS MODULE SYSTEM. ALSO AFTER THIS INCIDENT THE BLUETOOTH IN THE CAR DISCONNECTS RANDOMLY ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS. I HAVE TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY TO REST IT TO BE ABLE TO USE THE BLUETOOTH FUNCTION AGAIN.

I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEM ALBEIT THEY WERE BOTH NEW. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT REALLY HAS ME THINKING ABOUT NEVER BUYING A FORD AGAIN.

CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT AND BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT WARNINGS INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CLIMATE CONTROL, ENTERTAINMENT CONTROL SHUTS OFF. ALL WINDOWS OTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S WINDOW CANNOT BE OPERATED FROM THE DRIVER'S CONTROL. OTHER CONTROLS ON THE TOUCHSCREEN BECOME INOPERABLE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON AND SWIPE ONCE OR TWICE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO MOISTURE AND LOW HUMIDITY. THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION WHILE DRIVING TWO TO 20 MINUTES LATER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A MODULE OR SYSTEM THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND WHILE IT HASN'T BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE YET, I WORRY THAT AT SOME POINT I MAY BE DRIVING AND THE ERRORS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING OR BRAKING OR ENGINE TO TURN OFF OR ACCELERATE OR LIGHTS MAY TURN OFF AT NIGHT WHICH WOULD HAVE A POTENTIAL TO INJURE OR CAUSE A FATAL OCCURRENCE TO MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR AN INNOCENT PERSON THAT HAPPENS TO BE NEAR ME. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE AWHILE AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND A SOLUTION. IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A FORD DEALER, INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND REPORTED TO FORD TO ESTABLISH A RECORD WITH THEM. ONE MECHANIC FEELS IT IS ALL RELATED TO THE BCM BODY CONTROL MODULE. I AM GIVING A DATE BELOW BECAUSE THAT IS REQUIRED. THE ISSUES BEGAN PRIOR TO THAT DATE AND MANY TIMES SINCE.

MY CAR WAS SERVICED BY KOONS FORD IN BALT, MD FROM MAY 26TH-28TH TO ADDRESS A RECALL THAT REQUIRED REMOVAL OF MY ENGINE. AFTER THE REPAIR, MY CAR SAT IN MY PARKING SPACE AT HOME THE WHOLE WEEKEND DUE TO COVID-19. ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, JUNE 1ST, MY CAR ENGINE EXPLODED ON I83 WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS USING MY CAR TO GO TO WORK. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FIRE AND TOTALED. FORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE CABIN STARTED TO FILL WITH SMOKE AND JUMP OUT. KOONS FORD TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD "SHRINK WRAP" MY CAR AT THE LOT THE POLICE HAD IT TOWED TO AND BRING IT BACK TO "INVESTIGATE HOW THE FIRE STARTED." THEY LIED AND THEN TOLD MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE FIRE. IN ADDITION, WHILE I WAS THERE WAITING IN THEIR LOBBY, THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD "GET ME A RENTAL" IN THE MEANTIME WHILE THEY INVESTIGATE. NOT ONLY DID THEY LIE AND IMPLY I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING THE FIRE, THEY TRIED TO STIFF ME FOR THE COST OF THE RENTAL. ONLY AFTER I PUSHED BACK, THEY FINALLY PAID THE RENTAL BILL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS PAID FOR THE COST OF MY LOST CAR WHICH I NOW AM BEARING ADDITIONAL COSTS IN MY INSURANCE COVERAGE. MY CAR HAD ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY KOONS FORD AND WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THEM WORKING ON THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR GOING ON 2 MONTHS NOW AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE ON ANOTHER 4-6 YEARS OF CAR PAYMENTS AS I WAS CLOSING ON A NEW HOME AT THE SAME TIME THE FIRE HAPPENED. I REACHED OUT TO FMC AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACT ME WHICH ENDED UP TO BE YET ANOTHER LIE.*DT *TR

SINCE THE REPLACEMENT, THOSE LUG NUTS HAVE SWELLED AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REMOVAL. 3 WERE UNABLE TO REMOVED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO.
WHEN I WENT OUT TO MY PARKED CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING, ALL OF MY WINDOWS WERE DOWN. AT FIRST, I HAD THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE HAD BROKEN INTO MY CAR, AND I LOOKED FOR BROKEN GLASS, SIGNS OF FORCED ENTRY, AND MY BELONGINGS TO BE STREWN ALL OVER MY CAR. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NONE OF THE ABOVE. MY CAR WAS JUST AS IT HAD BEEN WHEN I LEFT IT AROUND 7:00 PM THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND NOTHING HAD EVEN BEEN MISPLACED FROM WHERE I HAD LEFT IT. I WAS COMPLETELY FLUMMOXED, UNTIL I DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR 2016 FORD FUSION ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AND SAW THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT REPORTED VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY PARTICULAR MODEL THAT RESULTED IN THEIR CAR'S WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, THANKFULLY, BUT I CAN'T RISK THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S INCLEMENT WEATHER.

MY CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER WITHOUT NOTICE WHEN I'M AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A COMMENT COMES ON THE DASH THAT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE " TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT WORDS BECAUSE WHENEVER IT DOES IT I'M LOOKING TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE SO I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR LOSE ALL POWER GOING 70 MPH. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 5 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES WHEN IT'S HAPPENED BUT THE LAST TIME IT DID I WAS TRAVELING IN KANSAS CITY AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CAUSE A LARGE ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET MY CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT POWER.

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING, MY AC KICKS ON WITH NO WARNING AND I LOOSE ALL POWER TO MY CAR. IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS TIME. NO RESOLUTION CAN BE FOUND FOR THE PROBLEM. MY CAR SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN AND THE ONLY WARNING I GET IS KNOWING WHEN MY RADIO CUTS OUT AND MY AC KICKS ON, GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE BECAUSE MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN.75 MPH ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY.

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT, DUE TO A SCARE OF THE STEERING WHEEL NOT FUNCTIONING AGAIN AND WHILE DRIVING AROUND THE BLINKER WON'T ACTIVATE WHEN ITS SUPPOSE TOO.

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES DOWN.

IT DOES NOT HELP TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR, EVERYTHING WILL START WORKING EVENTUALLY ON ITS OWN. I CAN STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THAT IS ALL. THIS LAST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS FRIGHTENED THAT I WOULD BE HIT BEFORE I COULD GET ON THE SHOULDER. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, AS USUAL, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT FORD FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THEY DENIED MY REQUEST, SAYING I WAS OUTSIDE THE TIME PERIOD FOR FILING. THE CASE NUMBER IS FMA CAS-22012807. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT RACEWAY FORD IN HARTSVILLE, SC, WHERE I RESIDED, IN MARCH OF 2016. I FIRST HAD TROUBLE WITH IT IN JUNE, 2016 AND TOOK IT IN. THE AGAIN IN DECEMBER, 2016 AND JANUARY, 2018.

IN JANUARY, 2018 THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THE NHTSA CAN HELP WITH.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE LOST POWER. MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I COULD NOT EVEN GO THE SPEED LIMIT. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD WAS CHANGING THESE OUT THROUGH THEIR OWN RECALL BUT THAT ENDED YEARS AGO. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY POPULAR OVER THE FORD MODELS AND COULD WIND UP KILLING SOMEBODY WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND I FEEL THE NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP IN AND MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS AND IT IS ALL ACROSS ALL THEIR MAKES.

VEHICLE IN MOTION. AFTER 40MPH, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHTS ON DASH. ABS IS ACTIVATED EVEN THOUGH ON DRY GROUND. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND DROPS ABOUT 50%. STOPPING DISTANCE DRAMATICALLY INCREASED. PEDAL PULSATES UNDER MY FOOT. TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. HILL ASSIST TURNED OFF. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR SINCE MID NOVEMBER, 2018. THE DEFECTIVE PART IS THE TONE RING, WHICH IS PART OF THE WHEEL BEARING AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. FORD WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH THE TONE RING. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS THE HARNESS THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR PLUGS INTO ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. THE YELLOW WIRE HAS A HOLE IN IT AND CORRODES. FORD IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE MAIN SCREEN IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF AND HAD THE MESSAGE 'TURNING OFF SYSTEM TO SAVE BATTERY'. THIS WAS NOT AN ACCURATE PROJECTION BY THE CAR SYSTEM BEING THAT I JUST RECENTLY INSTALLED A BRAND NEW BATTERY A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR. AS THE CAR SYSTEM CONTINUED TO SHUT DOWN, THE ALERT OF 'SYSTEM CHARGING SERVICE NOW' SHOWED UP ON THE DASH. FOLLOWING THAT MESSAGE THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN IN MY CAR. LIGHTS, STEERING, DASHBOARD, ELECTRONIC SEATS, DOORS, GEAR SHIFT, EVERYTHING! THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE SPAN OF 1 MINUTE OR SO ON A HIGHWAY AT 11PM AT NIGHT. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN INESCAPABLE ACCCIDENT TRYING TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE ENGINE ALSO CUT OFF DUE TO NOT GETTING ANY POWER FROM THE CAR SYSTEM. THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THIS CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT.

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR MULTIPLE ALARMS SOUNDED AND THE DISPLAY SHOWED THE FOLLOWING ERRORS: STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, PRE-COLLISSION ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE, HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE. THE CAR HAS 13514.1 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AT THE TIME OF THIS OCCURRENCE. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 10 MILES EARLIER IN THE DAY BUT HAD BEEN PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF FOR NEARLY 8 HOURS. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, CHORE OF TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT SEVERAL TIMES ATTEMPTING TO SEE IF THE FAULTS WOULD CLEAR ON THEIR OWN. NO LUCK.

ENGINE LOSES ENGINE POWER WHEN DRIVING. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOES NOTHING. MUST COAST OR BRAKE UNTIL THE CAR STOPS. POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS REMAIN FUNCTIONAL; RADIO REMAINS ON; TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK. 'TRANS NOT IN PARK' MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY. EVENT HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON AND SET DURING AT LEAST TWO TIMES OUT OF THE THREE EVENTS. CAR MAY BE RESTARTED AFTER COMING TO A STOP, SHIFTING INTO PARK AND TURNING KEY TO OFF. APPEARS TO 'RESET' TO WORK CORRECTLY UNTIL THE NEXT UNEXPECTED EVENT OCCURS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. CHIME OCCURS AFTER THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE CAR DOES NOT SHAKE DURING OR BEFORE EVENT. HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY HARSH OR DELAYED SHIFTING WHEN STARTING FROM STOP OR AFTER SLOWING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THREE IDENTICAL INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE DRIVING THIS CAR. IN ONE OF THE THREE INSTANCES, THE KEY WAS BUMPED WITH A KNEE. PRESENT MILAGE IS ABOUT 48000. CAR WAS OBTAINED IN 12/2016. LOCAL FORD DEALER STATES THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR SERVICES OUTSTANDING FOR THIS VEHICLE; DID NOT KNOW OF ANY REPORTED PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. ON MAY 15, 2018 WES MYERS AT BOB SIGHT FORD IN LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI CHECKED TWO OTHER FUSIONS AND NOTED THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM WILL OCCUR IF THE KEY IS BARELY ROTATED BACK - NOT SO MUCH AS TO THINK IT SHOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AS SUCH, HE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING 'WRONG' SINCE OTHER VEHICLES EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEM; REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH ANOTHER THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WOULD NOT PROVIDE A FIX. ALSO STATED THAT UNLESS THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THAT FORD WOULD NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. THE VEHICLE LEASING COMPANY (ENTERPRISE) HAS NOT ISSUED ANY NOTICES STATING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. NHTSA 9/19/2016, BLACKLICK, OH, IS SIMILAR ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND MY SON WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. MY HUSBAND GOT WARM, AND PUSHED THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON TO ROLL DOWN HIS WINDOW. I INSTANTLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD SINCE I ALWAYS KEEP THE WINDOW'S LOCKED SO THAT MY SON CAN NOT PLAY WITH THE WINDOWS. I CHECKED, AND FOUND THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON INDICATING THAT THE LOCK WAS ACTIVE. I THEN PULLED OVER, AND ROLLED UP HIS WINDOW, UNLOCKED THE WINDOW, RE-LOCKED IT, AND HAD HIM DO IT AGAIN. WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING I HAD THE THOUGHT TO CHECK THE DOOR LOCKS AS WELL. HE WAS ALSO ABLE TO OPEN HIS DOOR AFTER PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE BACKSEAT. THEY THEN OPENED THE DOOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS SCARED ME AS MY CAR IS SET TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER, SHUT THE DOOR, GOT IN, AND RE-LOCKED THE DOOR. ONCE THE DOOR WAS RE-LOCKED I CLIMBED INTO THE BACKSEAT WITH THE CAR STILL RUNNING AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AGAIN. I THEN EXITED THE OPEN DOOR, AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE "LOCKED" DRIVERS DOOR, AND GET BACK IN. I THEN LOCKED THE DOORS AGAIN, AND TRIED OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR, AND IT OPENED. I SHUT MY CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON, LOCKED MY DOORS, TRIED OPENING THE DOOR, AND IT WAS LOCKED. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR MY CHILD! I HAVE READ OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, AND THOUGHT THAT THIS SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED WITH NHTSA.

AS SKIMMING THROUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS, I SEE I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH A BAD THROTTLE BODY ISSUE ! MY INFANT WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND LUCKILY MY BOYFRIEND WAS IN FRONT OF ME! IT DIED 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE WE GOT TO THE NEXT TOWN TO HIS WORK - LUCKILY HE ALSO HAD THE INFANT CAR SEAT ! I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND BORROW HIS 2010 FUSION FOR 2 DAYS UNTIL MY CAR WAS FIXED. ANOTHER ANNOYING ISSUE IS WHENEVER MY IPONE HAS AN UPDATE I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SYNC REINSTALLED ! I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SYNC (UPGRADED FROM A G6 WITH NO EXTRA OPTIONS). I TRAVEL 30,000+ MILES A YEAR AND EXPECT A NEW CAR TO WORK - IF I WANTED A TERRIBLE CAR I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER GM VEHICLE...

RENTED A FORD FUSION WITH 3000 MILES. DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING IT LOST POWER AND STOPPED. AFTER A MINUTE, WE RESTARTED IT WITHOUT PROBLEM. DROVE IT TO A NEARBY FORD DEALER WHO CHECKED THE CODE WHICH INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS DEFECTIVE ELECTRONICS THAT CONTROLLED THE THROTTLE. APPARENTLY THE ENGINE WAS GETTING TOO MUCH AIR AND NOT ENOUGH GAS CAUSING IT TO SHUT DOWN. PERHAPS THIS WAS A PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO THIS CAR, PERHAPS NOT. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF A CAR STOPPING UNEXPECTADLY ON A HIGHWAY WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD REPORT IT. WE DID NOTIFY THE RENTAL COMPANY (BUDGET IN MILWAUKE WI) OF THE PROBLEM. THE EMPLOYEE SAID HE HAD HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. IT WAS NOT CLEAR TO US IF HE MEANT ON CARS IN GENERAL OR ON THIS TYPE OF CAR.

2016 FORD FUSION RECEIVED FROM DEALER ON DEC 2015. AT 39 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, FUSION WOULD NOT START, AND ALL ALARMS CAME ON (LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE OVERHEAT, PARKING BRAKE, PARKING SENSORS, ETC). CAR STARTED AFTER HITTING OK AND SEVERAL MORE CRANKS. FEB 2015 - AT ABOUT 2500 MILES, THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THE THIRD TIME WAS AT 3000 MILES, ALL WITH THE SAME EXACT ALARM BEHAVIOR. THE FOURTH TIME OCCURRED ON MARCH 7, 2016 WITH 3200 MILES ON ODOMETER; THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE GOING 45MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO ENGINE POWER, NO STEERING POWER, NO POWER BRAKES, NOTHING BUT ALARMS. I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIRS AND NO REPORTED DIAGNOSTIC CODES. FORD HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES WITH THE CAR IN THEIR POSSESSION, BUT THEY REFUSED TO CONDUCT LONG-TERM DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY WERE NOT ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S GOING INTO THE DEALER AND NOW IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR LOSES POWER WHILE IN OPERATION.
