Battery was initially not taking a charge, they said it was a defective module and replaced both the module and the rear back up camera which they said was draining the battery. In this case they had the car for 2 1/2 weeks before returning it to me .. About 4 days after I got it back the car started shuddering during a reverese position in a parking lot and died.. It started right up again.. The next day it lost all acceleration at a lower speed in stop and go traffic, once again it died but started right up again. It did this two more times once on the freeway the other time down the street from my home. Ford has had the car for 5 days (since 2/19/2016) now and says there is no codes or have been able to duplicate the problem..
2014 Ford Fusion fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 82 of 82, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wether the car is cold or warm, everytime I drive, I get a hardshift between 2nd and 3rd gear. Also when I make a stop and try to accelerate, the car jerks from on the 1st gear. When I'm going on a downhill and let go of the gas pedal and slowly start braking, the would go from 2,000 RPM to 5,000 RPM while I have my foot on the brake. When I go to any gas station I can't leave the pump on auto because it would stop pumping, so I have to do it manually, in order to get a full tank.
The window sticker claiming epa/dot fuel economy and environment is deceptive. The window sticker claims 22 city and 31 highway per gallon for the ford fusion 2014. My car has 17000 miles and I would like to report that I'm not getting as claimed. I'm getting only 16 in city and 26 in highway driving. This false claim by ford should be investigated.
When driving at slow speeds, making parking manuevers, or just stting still there are noises coming from the gas tank area of my vehicle. They sound like rattling, gurgling, vibrating, or percolating sounds. I have taken my vehicle to two different ford dealers in my area and neither one can/will tell me what these noises are, all they say is that it could be a few different things and that it is a normal operating feature of this model vehicle. Frankly I dont believe that as I have never heard this noise from any other car I have owned. Furthermore if the dealers themselves cant tell me why my car is making this noise than how can they say its normal.
After fill up slow in parking lot hear what sounds like a bad wheel bearing from r rear. Checked out other complaints found ford will replace some more expensive model fuel tanks not mine.was told to live with it . There is a service bulletin from ford same year as mine . I have a base model so I don't qualify . It's true it's a brand new car! $23,000 it cost me .
First I would like to state that this vehicle has a 6 speed manual transmission. I have had acceleration/ deceleration issues since I took delivery of the vehicle in january 2014, the issues are intermittent and happen at various RPM and various speeds. Ive had the vehicle at the dealership 3 times for the same issue they have told me 3 times that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. The problems are as follows....when shifting gears the accelerator will occasionally stick and hold that higher RPM for 5 or 6 seconds before decelerating, this happens approx. 50% of the time while shifting. The dealer tells me that this is supposed to happen this way. My response is... If it is supposed to perform this way then why doesn't it perform this way all the time rather than 50% of the time? The second acceleration/ deceleration issue is....the car will randomly accelerate to 5500- 6000 RPM, this has happened while driving 40 MPH in 6th gear it has also happened while shifting between gears. When this happens it will maintain that high RPM for 5 or 6 seconds then decelerate. On one occasion I was driving in traffic at approx. 15 MPH my car accelerated and this almost caused an accident, fortunately I was able to quickly depress the clutch and brake to avoid a collision. The issues listed above have happened multiple times and are random.
Bought a new 2014 ford fusion se ego boost in july of 2014. When fuel tank is full, there is a loud and distinct rattling noise originating from the back of the car which appears to be coming from the fuel tank. Initial inspection by ford failed to determine the nature of the problem as they were not able to replicate the noise. Driving the car for several weeks LED me to determine that the noise was present only when the fuel tank was full. I brought the car back to ford twice, both times with a full tank of gas. The service manager told me the noise is "normal" but there is nothing normal about it. I've escalated my concerns to ford's corporate office and the woman I spoke to told me that the noise is inherent in the design and not a safety problem, I told her that anytime a fuel tank is vibrating and hitting either the exhaust or the under body of the car it is a safety concern. She told me that her tech have informed her that the noise is coming from bad baffles in the tank, I told her that who ever said that thinks that I am stupid and that I can't tell the difference between a rattle and a baffle problem. She repeated it not a safety concern. I told her that it may not seem that way now, but years down the road when the fuel starts to leak from years of rubbing it will be because at that time a fire or explosion will happen. At this point ford refuses to do anything to fix this issue.
This 6 speed manual transmission engine intermittently stalls at or very nearly at a complete stop in neutral gear. The engine stalls more frequently when it's raining. The engine stalls were approximately 20-25 times over 4-5 months. The ignition button, intermittently, doesn't start the car the first time and has to be pushed twice before the engine starts. The fuel light gauge intermittently lights up between 1/4 or 1/8 of a tank, otherwise it lights up when the line is basically at the bottom. Intermittently the sunroof doesn't open or close properly. Sometimes it remains open while at the same time, the interior headliner is actually closed. If you aren't paying attention it is impossible to know the sunroof is actually open because the interior headliner remains closed.
1. Both the check engine light and airbag light come on (at different times) while the car is being driven. 2. When cranking the engine during starting, the cranking time takes about 4-5 seconds. The extended crank time concerns me with respect to the longevity of the starter and battery wear. 3. The vehicle looses power when driving uphill. What's even more upsetting (considering the very low mileage an the issue happening only 3 weeks into ownership) is the fact I've had the car has been to dealership 4 times and every time I'm told there's nothing wrong with the car. I have pictures taken with my cell phone of the check engine and airbag lights on and I'm still not getting any help or consideration. This is very, very frustrating!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there was air in the fuel line. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. The current and failure mileage was 300. The VIN was not available.
Bought a new 2014 ford fusion in october. When fuel tank is full, there is a loud and distinct noise originating from the back of the car which appears to be coming from the fuel tank. Initial inspection by ford failed to determine the nature of the problem as they were not able to replicate the noise. Driving the car for several weeks LED me to determine that the noise was present only when the fuel tank was at least 5/8s full. I brought the car back to ford twice, both times with a full tank of gas. Two different service managers tell me the noise is "normal" but there is nothing normal about it. I've escalated my concerns to ford's corporate offices on at least 3 occasions and they have never once returned my calls or responded to my written inquiries. Noises from the fuel tank are, naturally concerning and disconcerting. My friends just bought the same car and they have not experienced the same noise so I believe that they know a problem exists and corrected it, but only prospectively.
