2013 Ford Fusion body problems

Filed Mar 7, 2026 · Body, Electrical · MI · fire

I own a 2013 Ford Fusion SE with a 1.6L EcoBoost engine. Prior to the incident, the vehicle displayed a “Check Charging System” warning and the engine overheated. After parking the vehicle and shutting it off, a fire started under the hood in the engine compartment. The fire occurred shortly after the overheating warning and while the vehicle was not running. The fire appeared to originate in the engine bay area and caused significant damage. There were no prior accidents or modifications to the vehicle.

Two recalls for this make year and model car had been recalled previously but not for my VIN specifically and the issues are appearing. The first is “doors may open driving” recall on your website and the second is “engine cylinder head may leaks oil” which is also on ur website. Both were recalled for this make and year of the ford fusion but not for my VIN so ford is stating they cannot fix it and want to charge me even for a diagnostic.

The drivers side door showed it was latched there weren’t any lights saying that the drivers side door was open or any other door was opened. I was driving and turning left and all the sudden my drivers side door flew open and struck objects on the side of the road people had placed out for garbage pick up. My safety was put at risk by my drivers side door coming open while I was driving. I started to pull over but by the time I was almost stopped my drivers side door came swinging back and I had my hand out to catch it , it smacked into my left hand bending my wrist back and shoving my elbow in my arm into my side causing excruciating pain. My drivers side door has dents a scratches in it from the objects it smashed into and I have pain in my left fingers and hand and wrist and arm hurts along with the side of my abdomen from being crushed into my side. I also had my head leaning towards the door so when it came flying back at me it hit my head hard. I ended up vomiting and feeling extremely anxious and scared and dizzy I was very stunned. I had shut and closed my drivers side car door and there wasn’t any lights indicating any doors in my vehicle were still open. My 2013 ford fusion se had been taken in for several recalls the door actuators where amongst several I had the dealership inspect and they were supposed to have fixed them. I haven’t driven the vehicle since I plan to take it into the dealership and get it checked out. I need make a police report and am calling my auto insurance company in the morning to let them be aware of the issue as well. There weren’t any warning lamps or messages until after the driver side door came open. There is now a warning light on my dashboard. And the lights on my dashboard started flickering. It first happened March 1, 2022.

Car consistently tries to pop the trunk while driving while also unlocking and locking doors. The seat always goes back to a default position. Does it so much I had to unplug the trunk actuator because it wouldn’t even let me drive off without opening the trunk. Lights flicker all weird when it does it. It does this idling and driving all the time. I can’t use photos to describe but I do have a video but your platform won’t let me upload videos.

The hood latch on my 2013 ford fusion broke and would function correctly. This is a terrible design and needs to be fixed. I replaced mine and from the uploaded pictures you can see that the part will eventually have to be replaced again. The plastic bump (circled in red) that the lever grabs on to wears out over time, and when lifted, will not open the hood correctly . It's also not fair that the parts needed have to be purchased separately, cost cutting at its finest .

A few years ago there was a recall of ford 2013 fusion due to door latches failing. My local dealer told me that they performed the warranty repairs. A few months ago the right rear door on my car would not stay closed. I contacted the dealer and they said that since the repair had been made there was no warranty coverage. I dissembled the door myself and located the defective part. While researching the part I discovered the federal safety agency recall 20v‑177. The year of my car was not listed in the recall but the part number of the defective part was. I have attached the recall information as well as a photo of the defective part from my vehicle. There are two possible scenarios. The defective part was actually never replace by the dealer, or, the part used to replace the original defective part is defective as well. Please let me know if you need additional information.
