2016 ford fusion. Consumer writes in regards to an issue with the body control module. The consumer stated in 80 degree weather the windows would not roll down and the A/C was inoperable. On separate occasions the radio became inoperable, the display screen went black, the door locks fail, and the heating/defrost/cooling system fail.
The airbag comes on when car is started and stays on. Even while driving.
I was driving down the highway and the front airbag malfunction light came on. It was rainy and roads were wet when it came on.
While in motion the ABS light, traction on/off, and hill assist is not available is lit up. Also, the speedometer is sporadic. Haven't had any work done recently so that isn't the cause.
A few weeks after having recealls performed for the steering and airbag issues, I was driving on the freeway and got a warning light(attached) that said "steering fault service now". The steering bacame slightly sticky but still drivable. After reacbing my destination and restarting my car, I then received the same fault light as well as traction control, and airbag lights. I have had zero issues with this vehicle as long as I've owned it prior to it being at the dealer for the recalls. The steering was now almosy inopperable and required alot of strength to make any turn left or right. While luckily the steering got very bad on side streets, this could have resulted in some serious injury or problems if it happened on the highway I feel. This vehicle is just only 4 years old and I have a hard time believing that the steering mechanism should be faulty already. I unfortunately do not have warranty on this part of the vehicle so I am now left with a $2500 bill to repair a sealed rack and pinion assembly that doesn't (to my knowledge) require any maintenace. Hopefully there are enough of this issues to warrant an investigation and possible recall. Thank you,
My car seat undercarriage is disattached. I took my car in to a nearby ford dealership and was told my VIN number was not associated with the recalls. Although my car's VIN did not have a recall, I am having the same issues as everyone else that had a recall. I was unable to adjust my car seat for suitable driving and therefore ended up having an accident. I tried to reach out to several companies in reference to my seat issue. No one could help me bc my VIN number didn't match. I have been trying to get assistance with this issue since 6/2020 but was turned away at platimum ford in terrell tx. Please have someone to contact me as soon as possible I had a wreck 12/28/20 my airbag did not deploy until after the crash. The force of the air bag broke my husbands arm, I am not pleased with fords recall procedures because all defects that happened to my car prior to my wreck were being overlooked because my VIN number did not match the recalls list. I feel like just because a car was not manufactured in a certain area and in a certain period of time should all be accepted if a flaw alike what's notified.
When pushing the start button, the car struggles to start. The battery was checked and no problems were found. Sometimes the car does not detect when the drivers seatbelt is not on while driving or sitting still. The beeping sounds the car typically makes when backing, alerting the driver is a completely different sound now. Other beeping noises are also different sounds and pitches. The engine light turns on and off. Faint scratching noise under the hood. Windows will go down by themselves.

Got in a car accident to where I experienced injuries and the air bags did not deploy
Airbag light stays on diagnosed with failed ocs system
Airbag light will not go off when I start my car. The light has been on throughout the entire day.
The airbag warning light was on and stayed on. The passenger airbag light said the airbag was off when a person was in the passenger seat. I had to turn the car off while in park in my driveway and turn it back on after a few minutes. The light went off and didn't come back on. The transmission does not shift smooth when switching gears from park to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fusion. The contact stated that when the vehicle was in park, it accelerated forward and crashed into another vehicle without warning. The air bags did not deploy. No injury was reported. The vehicle was not damaged. The vehicle was towed to the seelye ford (3820 stadium dr, kalamazoo, mi 49008) where the shift control cable bushing dislocated and needed to be replaced.

The air bag warning light will come on, will stay on until you cut the car off, but then it may not come back on next time. It's inconsistent. Sometimes it stays on while the car is running, sometimes it goes off a few seconds after cranking like it is supposed to do
1. Air bag sensor stays on, as if I have a malfunctioning unit that will burst at any time. No matter what I do, it always stays on. There is no way to turn the sensor or the airbags off, so I cannot disengage them and keep them from exploding unnecessarily. 2. The transmission does not shift properly. It is jumped when automatically shifting between third and fourth gear as if there is not enough fluid to allow for a smooth transition.
Air bag sensor came on and will not go off. It isn't working properly. The airbag sensor light comes on and stays on, regardless if there is a person in the seat or not. Passenger air bag seems to be showing off all the time. I'm concerned that they aren't working properly.
Passengers air bag sensor does not work properly. When starting the car the passengers airbag light (0ff) comes on and goes away immediately regardless if there is a person in the sit (adult). Air bag seems to be on all the time with no light indicated. Don't even know if it works
I am informed by ford, that they do not have them to repair the parts? The car steers incorrectly, pulls to the side. Was happening on highway as well as city driving, and I-95
I was parking backing up when the horn went on the first time. I thought that I might have touched the horn sign accidentally. Driving away from work the same problem happened again the same day, horn went on blaring loud again but this time hands was well positioned on the wheel. When making turn left or right horn would sound out loud again. When car is parked outside and the temperature is high horn would sound on and off. It happened also while car was in motion in the traffic blaring so loud on and off to cause fear and anxiety. The horn would go on and off even park in the driveway at night and during the day causing nuisance in community. Took car to the dealership at the services department after hearing the horn loud blaring(sd) decided to disable it until they checked the problem. The diagnostic reveled a faulty electrical wiring affecting the ignition and air bag. Been having this issue two weeks before memorial weekend may 2019, issue occurring up to this moment.
On going! Dealership here in florida states okay? Stearing is a problematic , electrical systems need to be checked, turning needs to checked. They have my car listed as a hybrid? It is not. Multiple complaints

I have received a settlement form as well as for this lease fusion and my first one as well. I it not acting correct! Gas smell , sterrng, horn weak, took to dealership at woodbridge with my friend while I am not in fla . For the short while the previous car red 2015 was replaced at purvis ford in fredricksburg, va. When I was here last time in 2015. It was ready to blow!
Takata recall- I had on previous ford fusion. Tires, stability, wipers, ripped into I just bought two new tires august 2018. The car is under 9,000. Miles! The red one previous was 10,ooo, miles when I had to turn in lease, and pressured by a salesman. Plus they put on extra packages, and when I called, I said take it off, etc... They did not! I had trouble turning car at times(both) they have run off the road because of tires and other things. It was highway driving. Always.
I still haven't had my air bag replaced by our local ford dealer. I received a notification earlier this year that it would be replaced before the year is up. So far, I have heard nothing.
Abs lights, traction control lights, throttle body control lights, air bag lights, emergency break lights, rear right break lights all come on my dash, it is at random times, first starting the car up, driving it for 2 minutes or even up to 10-12 minutes. Speed, weather or making a turn or just going straight does not matter. Warning lights can go off every day multiple times or as lttle as once a week. You can feel the streeting get very tight, its hard to even make a turn which is not very safe. Had my vehilce in the shop for 25 days straight. Was told the issues were fixed and withint 7 hours of picking my car up all the same lights came on.
The air bag will not go off
