I am the original single owner of a 2019, paid-off, gas Fusion with less than 54,000 miles, a spotless maintenance record, and no accident history. The vehicle suffered a sudden, instantaneous total loss of motive power. The loss of electric power steering assist and loss of power brake assist while driving through a live intersection with no warning lights or prior engine shuddering nearly caused a severe, life-threatening, or even fatal collision. The vehicle was removed from the intersection by physically pushing it with the assistance of other passing motorists and local police. I immediately called and requested towing services through the manufacturer. Services arrived 2 hours later. They started the car with no issue and drove it onto the tow truck. No engine lights or warning lights were present; the vehicle did not stutter or shake, and the vehicle had a 1/4 tank of gasoline. The vehicle was delivered directly to the Dealership. After it stalled and once it was removed from the intersection, no attempt was made to restart the vehicle until the towing service arrived. The dealership has had the vehicle for 2 weeks and claims they cannot diagnose the cause; there are no active diagnostic codes, and they have not been able to replicate the failure regarding this potentially fatal electrical shutdown. It is completely unacceptable and dangerously irresponsible for a dealership to hold a vehicle for 2 weeks, then suggest "picking it up, add some gas" simply because they haven't found any issues and "it should be fine." I cannot, in good conscience and out of protection of myself, my family, and other motorists, continue operating a vehicle that exhibits life-threatening intermittent failures.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My backup camera often freezes after I shift from reverse to drive. The screen turns blue and at time will have a live video of me driving showing what’s behind my car. Also my engine loses power and doesn’t accelerate as it should. There is a powertrain and censor error that shows due to the Che k engine light being on. I had the issue fixed once at a ford dealer however the issue was not resolved. It started up again 48 hours later.I have noticed that all other ford fusions have the same two issues and were included in the recalls but the 2019’s are not ? Please assist I have been trying to have these issues resolved for years with no success.

Very frequently, the rear view camera will stop working, glitch and go black. Then give the message, camera is unavailable
I have a 2019 Ford Fusion hybrid titanium, and it is exhibiting issues of a recall that Ford has issued for my year making model. But not specifically for my Vin. The recall is for the A.P.I.M. module and is a software glitch that although leave the infotainment system with a black or blank screen or right after using the backup camera, the backup camera will stay on the screen for some time and it states on the recall that it is a safety concern due to being a distraction for the driver on top of that, it will not remember any device I pair to it via Bluetooth, it will not remember navigation presets or any destinations I previously routed to with the navigation system. Every time I turn my car on for some reason it starts the navigation system with the route to my parents address. Also sometimes the screen will be unresponsive and unusable untill next ignition cycle. It kills my 12v battery because the screen will stay on after vehicle is turned off. This happens every ignition cycle

Engine catastrophicly over Revs when charging and plugged in phev plug.
Backup camera keeps going blank with a blue screen also back up camera stays on for a few seconds while driving then the screen turns blue having to do a soft factory reset to the system. Transmission shifts prematurely or kicks down weird. Shifting from park to drive makes a klunk and clicking sound not smooth or quiet at all.
Drove home from work 10/7/25 no issues. Parked the car no issues. Son went to leave and the car just stopped functioning. OEM issues I believe is what my son stated with the computer system. Brake is down and won’t release. Won’t start, sounds like it is even when we aren’t touching anything. Asking for goodwill / Good faith extension on the recall for this vehicle
