The trunk opens randomly on its own in parking lot an garage
Unknown cause for power steering failure at 61,000 miles
I received a recall notice (18s08 recall 18v‑167) in may of 2018, ironically right after my charging device melted in my garage outlet. Ford has said for months that they would have this resolved by 2019. I went two weeks ago to my deal and they still have no update as to when this will be resolved. I have not been able to charge my car at home in a year!!! This is not acceptable...
Still waiting for the replacement charging cable. I check regularly with the dealer and they have no date when it will be available. The federal safety agency recall 18v592 applies.
As I was driving over 70 miles per hour on the highway, the door ajar alert appeared. At that point, I realized that my sons friend had opened the door out of curiosity. The doors lock signal was red which means it was locked however he was able to open the door at 70mph on the highway. This is very unsafe, luckily no one was hurt. The next day I checked the door lock mechanism. When the door is locked on red, it only locks from the outside and any door from the interior can be opened regardless of the speed. I tried this at various speeds in the parking lot. I have three children and this is extremely dangerous. For the time being, I have placed the child lock on the rear doors, however this option is not available to the passenger door. When I lock the door and it is red, it should not be able to open through the interior or exterior of the vehicle.
"takata recall" in addition to this recall, I have 2 outstanding recalls with a refusal to work on a misfire and engine issues. My car has shut down with no warning on the road, misfiring with no warning, and no information on these common engine failures was given to me. No proof has been given of issues and am being forced into purchasing a new engine. I have been refused all help and have been waiting about a month for answers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. On several occasions, the instrument panel lighting failed to operate. The failure prevented the contact from viewing the fuel gauge, speedometer, and tachometer. The contact stated that the lighting returned after approximately 20 minutes. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to apple ford (3250 cape horn rd, red lion, pa 17356, (717) 244-7677) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,685.
Recall number:18s20 the federal safety agency recall number:18v471 on july 20,2018 approximately 3:45am I pulled in a parking lot I put my car in park and went to get out of my vehicle and my vehicle began to roll backwards almost running over my foot as I was exiting my vehicle , I immediately jumped back inside terrified and held my foot on the brake while having an panic attack. I sat for hours holding my foot on the brake because I couldn't breathe and couldn't think when I finally could catch my breath after several phone call attempts I finally got a relative on the phone and asked what to do, they suggested putting my emergency brake on until I could contact my dealership which didn't open until 9:30am. After testing I received a phone call saying the bushings that attach the shifter cable to the transmission had detached from the transmission causing my vehicle to be in park but stuck in reverse causing the vehicle to roll backwards without me knowing because I think it's in park and there's no sign of me knowing it's stuck in reverse except when it started to roll away and almost over me as I was getting out. This has been such an big inconvenience for me this has caused me to miss work from 7/20/2018-7/24/2018 because I had no transportation to work (my commute to work is 1.5 hours), my son was not able to go to childcare,ect. And ford has offered me no help because they say the replacement bushings aren't even in production yet. Ford is telling me there is nothing they can do because the recall is not active yet so now I have to lose my job, only income, my bills have become delinquent due to me not having transportation to and from work this is not right and ford should not treat customers this way and should accommodate me until they figure out a solution this recall should have been handled in a more timely manner im paying money for a car and I have no transportation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. When the vehicle was restarted, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.
2015 ford fusion- after sitting for short periods of time the vehicle will not turn on until multiple attempts. The battery is good. No jump is required. Vehicle will go from no power on the first attempted start to managing to power on within a couple of minutes. While in drive, the vehicle will not switch gears appropriately. The engine will rev, pull, and then switch gears very roughly. This has been looked at by a local mechanic. The mechanic could not find any problems even though it has been a consistent occurrence. Mechanic stated that this is common in newer fords.
My 2015 fusion se gear will not shift. It is stuck and reverse. Tried to shift gears and now that my car is not in park engine will not turn on. I just got my car two months ago. A relative also had this problem and was told it could be the shift cable.
I literally just bought this car and within 15 min of driving off the lot it stalled multiple times in the drive thru and then again when pulling onto the road and oncoming traffic almost hit us. Terrifying.
Imagine driving at normal speed when suddenly you suffer complete engine power loss. The power steering, braking, lighting and climate control systems remain fully functional so you have no clear clue on what is occurring, however you know the vehicle no longer remains operational and you come to a complete stop in the middle of the road.
Ford sync loose connectivity once a month, only way to reset is to unplug the battery when this happens. This a defect of driving safety and handsfree driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. While driving approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration. The wrench and engine warning indicators illuminated and then the vehicle stalled. The contact managed to restart the vehicle twice, but it stalled again when he arrived home. The following day, the vehicle was towed to the dealer and has been there ever since march 27, 2017. The contact stated that the failure started in january of 2017. The vehicle was taken to the dealer two other times for repairs for the same failure. The dealer replaced the total control module back in january, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000.

I was driving in heavy traffic -- lots of stop and go -- when my knee hit the ignition key fob and apparently turned it into the acc position. Car shut down and message "transmission not in park" appeared on the display. I turned on the emergency blinkers and drifted over to the side of the 4-lane highway. After stopping and putting it in park I restarted the engine. Car is usually driven by 5' 3" driver without this problem; but I am 6" 3" and my knee continually hits the ignition key fob as I move my foot from the accelerator to the brake. To say that this is a serious problem for tall drivers of the ford fusion would be an understatement!
My vehicle has stalled multiple times during motion and when it was in stationary. There was a message popping up on the dashboard saying "transmission not in park", I took it to multiple dealers to see if they can find the issue and all of them said that their computer isn't detecting the issue that I'm having. So they can't duplicate my concern. I even opened up a lemon law case in nj so hopefully they can help me.
A1 incoming email: documents from consumer re 2015 ford fusion lemon law. *smd the vehicle was reprogrammed on september 30, 2016. The dealer stated no problem was found.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. While driving approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle power seized. The contact crashed into a boulder. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 24,895.
I rented this 2015 ford fusion se4 for 2 weeks from enterprise rental car location at 2090 n sr7, hollywood, fl 33021, ph.no. 954‑964‑9954. During the drive back to enterprise to return the vehicle, my knee brushed up against the fob dangling from the keyed ignition switch, the key rotated to the acc position from the run/on position and the engine stopped. I was in drive at the time, so I stopped the vehicle, placed the transmission shifter in park and restarted the engine. On arrival at enterprise while stopped in their parking lot with foot on the brake and the transmission in drive, I was able without any difficulty to turn the ignition key to accessory or off while the transmission was still in drive. I demonstrated this same procedure to the enterprise agent who stated that he would remove it from service and take it to a ford dealer for repairs. Fl tag # dfsm59
Started car and several warnings popped up on display... Something about "hill assist" not available, "steering assist fault service required", and "service advancetrac". Steering wheel felt like it was still locked... Turns out it was just extremely difficult to turn. I'm 6'3" 200+ lbs. If it's difficult for me to turn, it would be impossible for most people. If this had failed while the car was in motion, someone could have been seriously injured or worse. Ford had this same problem on 2011-2012 fusions and issued a recall and now it's still happening on 2015 models. This needs to be recalled immediately as ford never really fixed the problem. Excerpt from 2011-2012 fusion recall: ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 423,000 vehicles (actual 422,814) including certain 2011-2013 ford taurus and flex vehicles, lincoln mks and mkt vehicles, for certain 2011-2012 ford fusion and lincoln mkz vehicles, and for certain 2011 mercury milan vehicles in north america for a potential intermittent electrical connection in the steering gear that might result in the loss of electric power steering assist while driving. If this happens, the steering system defaults to manual steering mode, making the vehicle more difficult to steer, especially at lower speeds. This could result in the increased risk of a crash.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. The contact stated that squirrels ate through the main wiring harness attached to the battery. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 21,900.
Air bags did not deploy in crash. Dealer repaired said vehicle and seat belts work sometimes as well as instrument panel. Vehicle constantly pulls to the right. Dealer says nothing wrong. Other issues but not safety related.
While driving the vehicle, I went to reverse and turn around. When I shifted into reverse all electrical systems failed, brakes no longer worked, and I slowly went back until I hit a small concrete pillar. This problem has happened now multiple times, at random speeds and random times. It's never set on a specific motion or action.
The vehicle is a hybrid plus. It has a charge port. The vehicle will not accept a charge and check engine light is on. The entire wiring harness from front to back has to be replaced. This job requires complete removal of the entire interior. Also ford has not been in contact with the dealer or myself in 5 days regarding this issue. This is the 3rd time it had been in the shop - first for a faulty dash and second for a bad AC compressor. - vehicle has 1600 miles on it.
03/2015 lost control of the breaks and had to use the parking breaks to attempt to stop me and u still hit another car. 07/09/2015 lost all control of breaks, instrument panel display turned white and the mft turned black, motor shut off. The dealer can't find the problem, they just do a computer reset and it temporarily fixes the problem but they reject me to put my child in this car!

I demonstrated this same procedure to the enterprise agent, but felt that the federal safety agency and ford need to know that this vehicle is unsafe to drive prior to repairs to the ignition switch. I emailed ford with a similar report to this one. Vin: [xxx] fl tag # [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I bought a brand new 2015 ford fusion. My knee has hit the key fob multiple times while driving and the car has turned off while in motion. This is a very dangerous situation because the car shuts off while in traffic. The key fob sticks way out and for a guy who is 6ft it is very hard to avoid hitting the key fob with my knee. This will kill someone. I told ford and they don't care. I told the dealer I wanted to return the car and they would let me. Please fix the key fob. This is the same problem chevy camero's were having. Google "ford fusion fob knee" .
