The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the lug nuts on all four wheels were corroded and swollen. The contact was concerned that in the event of a flat tire or blowout, the lug wrench would be unable to remove the swollen lug nuts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that all the lug nuts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Swollen lug nuts and couldn’t get the drivers side front tire off at Ford dealership. I had to take my vehicle to Discount tire for them to get the lug nut off and replace all lug nuts.
When replacing a flat tire it was noted that the lug nuts are swelling and distorted. The mechanic said they must be replaced as it is a safety hazard.
Swollen lug nuts. 100,000 miles on vehicle. Had tires rotated at discount tires. They had a very hard time removing swollen lug nuts. Had to spend $60 to replace whole set.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the driver’s side front tire lost air and became flat, but the independent mechanic was unable to remove the wheel from the vehicle due to the lug nuts being swollen. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who replaced the lug nuts. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 48,000.
The lug nuts make it impossible to remove with either the tool ford provided, a 4 way wrench or sockets when I got a flat. I could have been killed fighting with this on the side of the road. I believe ford should have to replace all of these lug nuts as a safety concern since they are defective.
I was driving back from grocery shopping when I lost control over steering. The moment when I lost control was during my slight right turn moving at speed of about 30mph I did not know what happened at the moment because I was more focused to not hit anyone presenr at that moment on the road. Good thing is that school across the road was closed because timing when this happen was around the time when parents usually pick their kids for school. After I parked car I investigate to see what had happen. There were three messages indicating that something was wrong: 1. Steering assist fault - service required, 2. Service advancetrac and 3. Hill start assist not available. I was searching today to see other people experiance and results were positive a lot of cases like this one. Things that all reports have in common is that all owners needed to pay to fix car no option for recal. Eventhough that models like this one used to have several things that needed to be changed on similat things in the past.
The car jerks during shifting on city streets, all times of day, all road conditions.
After taking my 2015 ford fusion for a transmission problem and other recalls they kept the car for over a month with no rental provided when I finally got it back from the speed of 15 to 30 the passenger side starting making noises and could feel the vibration from it and 55 and up it just gets worse.
There has been many issues with the front end of my car. Both struts have been replaced at 22,000 miles. The sway bar link was also replaced.I am now at 23,000 miles experiencing a noise like a ball joint clunking in the passenger front and the dealerships cannot figure out what is making the noise. I have brought it to 2 separate dealerships for a synopsis. Still nothing. Also, the transmission shifts very rough and slams into the next gear from 2-3. I purchased this car from sport automotive used cars on october 2017. Ever since nothing but issues. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle. Especially since fords have always been purchased in my family.
While driving home on I- 55, one of my back tires blew up on 2015 ford fusion. This nearly caused a potentially fatal accident! On saturday, I called michelin, the manufacturer of the tire and they told me to take the tire to discount tire. I went in to discount tire in new lenox, il on saturday february 11, 2017, and the manager neal, said that all of the tires needed to be replaced, and the blowout was caused as a result of low thread count. Discount tire went on to inform that xchange leasing, who is responsible for safety and inspection of the vehicle would be responsible for missing the need for the tires to be replaced. Subsequently, it seems that xchange has dropped the ball, and thankfully the negligence did not result in an untimely death! Since, being a part of the xchange leasing program, I have regularly had all of my inspections completed, which included tire rotation, and inspection. There is no indication on any of the inspection reports that tires need to be replaced. I am currently driving on a donut, and I am seeking a resolution to this problem.
Recently, while traveling from chicago, il to las vegas nevada, I experienced mechanical issues with my 2015 ford fusion. The car broke down in las vegas, nevada, where I took it to a local repair shop, due to the closeness of the where it broke down. The repair shop stated that they would need a few days to diagnose the vehicle. Unfortunately, I had no more days to stay in vegas, as I needed to return home. Thus, I flew back to chicago, and left my car in las vegas, nevada in the care of the repair shop for testing and diagnosis and repair. The repair shop called and stated that my car needed a new transmission. This befuddled me, as my car was just barely two years old and has low mileage. Upon doing some research, I found that ford fusions from 2013-2016 have known mechanical issues with the transmission and many have already been recalled. I called the ford corporate office after the repair shop advised that the transmission needed replacing. I was advised to have the vehicle towed to a ford dealership. I had the car towed to friendly ford, where I am waiting for the diagnosis to be completed. However, I was already advised that if in fact the transmission needs to be replaced, it would be take approximately 4-6 weeks to be completed. This presents a tremendous inconvenience to me, as I am in chicago and my vehicle is 1800 miles away from me, essentially useless to my day to day activities which include school, work, doctors' appointment etc. I am a full-time student, and work full time. Unfortunately, recently I have become very ill and have had to catch rides to my various doctors' appointments. Getting around has been significantly challenging with no vehicle. I believe that ford knew that there were transmission failures on and failed to recall all of them to save money, and avoid expensive repair costs on poorly
