2016 Ford Fusion: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Sep 18, 2026 · Driver assistance · TX · crash · 2 injuries

The component that fail was the backup camera, and the dashboard screen was black. I was looking at the screen backing up, and I seen that the camera was black and had like colorful lines on it, and also my screen. One side was like a black spot inside of their screen on the deck of the radio. I proceeded to back up and turn my wheel and that’s when I a bump and grinding sound. Therefore, once I stopped backing up, I got out the car in my passenger rear bumper was hanging down, and I had a dent & white paint is coming up the side of the back passenger rear end. The paint that came on the rear passenger side was from me begging into the pole. I have called several times teo different Ford dealerships to see if they have the part for my car the camera & dash screen. Unfortunately, I was informed that the part have not came in and then I need to wait until another notice but I seem to have an accident since I called in April of this year 2026, and I also called in May and now I have had accident in June from this problem. Ford should have the parts or replace with updated parts. Due to this I am scared of backing into something else. I hope Ford can fix this recall on my Ford Fusion. Instead of getting legal advice for this issue. I just would like for this recall be resolved.

Hello, I was driving towards the hotel I was staying at when I heard some squeaky noises when I was turning my car (this was at night). The next day, I was leaving the parking garage, about to drive onto a main road when my power steering went. I got the car towed to the auto dealership and it turns out that there are three recalls out on my car. One of which has to do with the steering bolts becoming corroded and the steering gear detaching and the the power steering going as a result. Yet the dealership is saying that the bolts are not corded so it is an internal issue. My car only has 66k miles on it … for the power steering to go while you are driving is very scary. It seems like this is a common issue and Ford is avoiding the issue with the steering gear by blaming it on just the bolts to the steering gear. The codes that the dealer said were being thrown are as follows: u0420:00 u0420:86 C102d

Canister purge valve malfunction. I had trouble starting my car a couple of times and it would randomly stall out. But after getting gas this last time, I noticed a humming/grinding sound coming from the gas tank. When stopped at a red light (in rush hour traffic) the car stalled completely and wouldn't start. Had to wait a few seconds and try starting again and again, when it finally started again the noise was still there. I called a friend and we ran diagnostics on it and it returned the error of the canister purge valve malfunction. This has been a recall on other Ford cars in the past but not showing on my VIN....

When driving down the road during normal activity, transmission seems to jump in and out of gear and check engine light will come on. Has happened multiple times over the past six months. Can you pull over to turn the car off and turn it back on? Check engine light goes off; however, when you engage the transmission shifter from park to drive, there is grinding. When I leave the car parked for a day or two starts up and drives as normal without check engine light, I have taken to the dealership three times to have the issue checked, but they cannot find a problem without the illumination of the check engine light.
