While driving down the road I start getting warning lights about lane assist, adaptive cruise control, power steering and so forth not working. The steering wheel jerks hard out of my hands and the brakes will automatically apply. I’ve tried talking to the dealership I bought it from and I never get a response. They told me that ford bought it back from the original owner cause it was a great car but this seems to not be the case. Seems more like it’s because of its very dangerous drivability features. I’m extremely concerned about my wife driving the car and I’m constantly getting alerts through the ford app. Took it to a different ford dealership and was showed to me on ford data link where this car has had this problem long before I purchased it. It’s extremely dangerous

Randomly 'service advance trac', 'pre-collision assist not available', lane assist not available', power assist steering not available', hill assist not available', warning lights appear. When they do I completely lose power steering. Which is extremely dangerous while driving. Most the time I can turn off and restart the car and it goes away. However, now it has become more frequent and has started losing complete power of the car turning off while driving. I almost died on the interstate. Ford dealerships only recommendation was a new circuit board that was like $5k, more than the car is worth. They said it was something common with the ford fusions, thats why they were quit being made. I researched and it is a common issue, but no recalls have been made???!!???

Constantly with this specific vehicle, especially with the lane assist. The vehicle continuously jerks either left or right even within the green parameters of the lane, especially when doing a slight turn on the highway. When it is raining the vehicle smart as go offline an cannot read the lane or the vehicle in front of it. When I first purchased the vehicle after driving for less than a year I had to take the vehicle in because the engine was warped. Constantly when I’m the vehicle the Apple car play system would either freeze or the screen would go black.

Service advance trac, traction control, ABS, and steering assist fault lights all come on randomly and it becomes extremely hard to steer. When this is going on, the lane keeping system does not work and the turn signal needs shut off after every turn. Having no power steering and trying to turn off your turn signal while driving is extremely dangerous. These lights randomly come on and go back off. I live in pa, if this problem happens in snow I have to pull over and wait for the steering to be back to normal or risk my life getting home. Ford has not included my VIN in a recall that could be the cause of the issues. I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times now for this same problem.
