NHTSA Complaint #10567915 — 2007 FORD FUSION

VEHICLE IS A DAILY DRIVE, EXPERIENCED TSB 13-4-17, PCM FAILURE CAUSING THE IGNITION COILS TO BURN OUT ON CYLINDER 4. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, AT A COST OF OVER $2000. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD A HOWL AND VIBRATION, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSFER CASE (PTU) FAILURE, THIS WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER LEAVING THE FORD DEALERSHIP. MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE PTU AT A COST OF $1000. VEHICLE WAS FINE FROM NOVEMBER 2013 TILL JUST THIS PAST WEEK MARCH 6 2014 WHERE A LEAK OF GEAR OIL WAS FOUND IN THE DRIVEWAY, CAR WAS BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH CONFIRMED A LEAK OF THE SEAL ON THE TRANSFER CASE (PTU). VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LOCAL MECHANIC THAT MADE THE REPAIR. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS HIT 100K MILES THAT IT IS IN NEED OF CONSTANT REPAIR. I HAVE OWNED MANY FORDS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS!! FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! THEY CLAIM TO HAVE RELIABLE VEHICLES BUT THIS IS NOT RELIABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN JULY OF 2010 I ONLY GOT 3 GOOD YEARS OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. ITS A SHAME CAUSE ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING BUT MECHANICAL ISSUES. *TR
