The vehicle 'temporarily lost communication with the climate control ' basically the touchscreen freezes and none of the buttons on the center console work. Unable to turn on heat or air conditioning. The windows lock and can not be rolled up or down. This has happened while driving down free way and also parked at start up. This occurrence has happened more than once. Sometimes the car will some how go back to normal after a day. The latest the vehicle has lost communication for 4 days. They say you can't leave a kid in the car while you go into a store, but ford can make it where I can't roll my widows down while driving and I have 2 kids in the car and it's 90 out. Even more when it's winter time and the widow fogs up while driving there is no way to clear windows. To me it is a safety hazard to not be able to at least roll your windows down or up because an issue happens with the vehicle communication.

The blis system on this car has been repaired a few times now and it is still having issues. Either one side of the blis will stay lit for a mile or more on the interstate with nothing there or it will fail to activate if a car is located in the blindspot. Occasionally, I will be sitting perfectly still and one side of the blis system will just light up for no reason or a proximity sensor will trigger. The system on this car is unreliable and not actually promoting any additional safety. It seems the entire system is defective.

I was driving my ford fusion hybrid today on the interstate and had a complete engine failure while driving. I was driving, then a noticed popped on my dashboard stating to stop safely now. I pressed the gas pettle and the EV mode kicked on, propelling my vehicle speed to over 85 miles per hour. I was extremely nervous because the fords electric vehicle engines are limited to 85 MPH in pure EV mode. I was able to come to the shoulder of the interstate. I turned the vehicle off, waited a few seconds and restarted the vehicle. All seemed to be ok, as soon as I pushed the gas pettle to get back on the highway the information dashboard was alarming me to stop safely now. I did not have any check engine lights come on. I then revved the engine to see if I would experience anything, the engine finally came on, then revved and I felt that even though I was in park if my foot would have been off of the break pettle my vehicle would have moved forward. I turned the vehicle off as soon as I felt this the engine was constantly revving until I turned the key to the off switch. I then had the vehicle towed to the dealership. I was driving at 76 MPH on the highway and complete failure occurred.

I was coming home from work and I get an error message that said "stop safely now". All of a sudden my lights flashed and my car cut off. My car hasn't ran yet. I am in the process of getting it towed to the dealership. Ford, when I called then told me that it wasn't under a recall and I would have to pay out of pocket for everything.

On at least 3 occasions when turning left usually a hard left turn and usually when I park the power steering goes out and the dash lights up. It has been to the dealer 3 times and they cannot find a problem but if the steering goes out on a turn at a higher speed it could cause an accident. The dealer said when the problem happens again to drive straight to the dealership and don't turn off the car and that only works if they are open. I am concerned!!!

Car had previously lost full power and brakes in april, incident repeated itself this time 5500 miles later while at freeway speeds. Car lost power brakes and steering, was able to cost to a stop. After stopping car locked itself in park and engaged the parking brake, making towing very difficult. After numerous restarts error lights disappeared and the car drove fine and was able to be moved out of traffic. After stopping car locked itself in park again and would no longer function. Dealer has no idea how to fix this issue, had this occurred with high traffic it would have resulted in a crash. Ford was contacted to attempt buy back program.

Vehicle stalled while traveling about 35mph. Loss of all power both mechanical and electrical, numerous warning lights appeared on dash. Traction system disengaged then reengaged, which disabled and reenabled the brakes causing the car to slide across the rode. Upon restart all warning light disappeared. Car was towed to dealer, after scanning ecu 25+ codes were found. No solution was determined and ford told the dealer to just reflash the ecu, and add dielectric grease to all connectors. All modules involved were tested and passed.
