Faulty evap temperature sensor on my 06 Ford Fusion I purchased a couple of months ago. It is a huge safety issue, the vehicle thinks it’s running ICE COLD when it’s over 100 degrees outside. It emits hot or fluctuating air at random and it’s giving wrong readings which can cause the car to overheat or not sense when it is overheating. I do not know if the needle is correct and if it’s about to smoke or not.

Computer short circuited causing car to misfire melting the coil and could have set the car on fire. This is a safety issue. My mechanic said this is the second ford he has seen do this. He stated it is dangerous.

I got a 06 ford fusion that I read about ,it stayed that ford motors was well aware of the e-vap sensor for the airconditon it stop my compressor for turning on [the cause was evaporator discharge air temperature sensor]ford is well aware that the sensors are faulty"I think this is a safety matter because of the high heat temperatures. While driving we should feel comfortable not tired from heat exhaustion

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford fusion. The contact stated that the smart junction box failed to function causing the battery and all of the turn signal functions to fail. A dealer had not diagnosed the vehicle but an independent mechanic diagnosed that the smart junction box needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, provided no solution, and indicated that there was no recall. The contact was concerned if the part was replaced that the failure would continue. The approximate failure mileage was not available.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 ford fusion. The contact stated that there was a beeping noise and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. Also, the vehicle failed to crank. The battery was recharged, the vehicle restarted, and the warning indicator dimmed. The dealer (park ford, 400 west ave, tallmadge, oh 44278, (330) 633-6222) was notified of the failure and did not provide a specific diagnosis. The dealer was also unable to determine when the remedy and repair part would be supplied to schedule the recall repair for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

"takata recall" snd I was driving vehicle when turn signals on both front right and left side stopped working. Right front turn signal just stayed on , so I had to disconnect it otherwise it would have drained the battery. I replaced both bulbs with new ones, still did not work. I get a message saying check right front and left front turn signals. I have found out that this has happened to a lot of 2006 ford fusions, it is a safety issue when cars front signal indicators dont work. I was told the smart junction box needs to be replaced. Ford has known about this problem,and done nothing!

While driving my engine intermittently shuts off. The car will still be "on". In the sense that the AC and radio and other features are still working, but the car will not accelerate or move. I have to put it in park. And restart it. "check engine" and "check charging system" indicator lights pop up on the dash. I have done several things, change belts, changed alternators, changed cam shafts, and finally after that thousand dollars was spent the code I'm getting read from my mechanic is for the throttle body shut down.
