Filed Sep 22, 2024 · Visibility · NC

Windshield wiper motor works and there’s windshield wiper fluid and wind water tank but when you pull the windshield wiper flu lever to disperse clean your windshield nothing comes out taking it to mechanic. He can’t find anything wrong with it fluid go somewhere when you pull the lever except for on the windshield. Don’t know where it goes because you can empty the fluid tank out and not see anything on the ground or on the car

Cross traffic system fault and blind spot system fault warnings intermittently appear. When this happens the climate control, entertainment control shuts off. All windows other than the driver's window cannot be operated from the driver's control. Other controls on the touchscreen become inoperable. The windshield wipers will turn on and swipe once or twice even though there is no moisture and low humidity. These things will happen while driving and then go back to normal operation while driving two to 20 minutes later. My concern is that there is a module or system that is malfunctioning and while it hasn't been a safety issue yet, I worry that at some point I may be driving and the errors may cause loss of steering or braking or engine to turn off or accelerate or lights may turn off at night which would have a potential to injure or cause a fatal occurrence to myself, my family or an innocent person that happens to be near me. These issues have been going on for quite awhile and no one can seem to find a solution. It was looked at by a ford dealer, independent mechanics and reported to ford to establish a record with them. One mechanic feels it is all related to the bcm body control module. I am giving a date below because that is required. The issues began prior to that date and many times since. That is the date we started keeping records.

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.

The wipers will stop individually and randomly when in use. It seems to be more of an issue during light rain but has happened during heavy rain on occasion as well. I have been to my dealer for this and they said I needed new wiper blades. The car was still under warrantee at that time. It has reoccurred and I will visit my dealer again. I have seen other complaints on fusion and other ford vehicles with this problem. The date I used is the date of last occurrence not the date of first occurrence. Since this is my daughters car she thought it was okay for the wipers to hang once in a while. I do not accept this as a safe feature!

The windshield wipers are way to slow when driving in a minimal amount of rain. I have tried turning them into the highest frequency. It is so bad that I have to pull off the rode and stop to wait for the rain to stop. This could cause serious injury not only myself but to other drivers on the road. It is very hazardous and I really wish this issue can be fixed. It feels very hazardous

Windshield washer squirters are aimed too low. At speed, especially highway speed, the fluid is blocked by the wiper blades. The top of the windshield gets very little, if any, fluid. Dangerous on the highway!! I have spoken with ford and my dealer. Ford claims the squirters themselves are not adjustable and that they operate as designed. Having tried other fusions like mine, they are all operating this way. It is dangerous. My photos are of the car stationary, in my garage. The photo with the red line shows the point at which the squirters hit. The overspray above them does not happen at speed!
