NHTSA Complaint #11267530 — 2013 FORD FUSION

I HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND NOW IT IS ON MY CREDIT RECORD BECAUSE IT IS BEYOND REPAIR, AND I RETURNED IT TO THE FINANCE COMPANY WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE LUG NUTS BECAUSE THE FACTORY LUG WRENCH WOULDN'T WORK, THE ENGINE RAN HOT (REGULARLY) LEADING TO LONG TERM ENGINE DAMAGE, THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE I BEGAN FINANCING THE CAR. THE CAR ONLY HAD 64K MILES WHEN I BEGAN FINANCING IT, BY 77K, THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE (FIRST TIME IN DEC.18, AND THEN JAN.19), AND IT STILL SHIFTED HARD (AT TIMES) AND STILL MADE A STRANGE SOUND. I AM INVOLVED IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT OVER THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE AFTERMARKET (AND MEDIA INDICATES THAT EVEN THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT CAPABLE OF FIXING THE PROBLEM) IN APPROXIMATELY THE MONTH OF MAY, 2019, THE VEHICLE ALSO WOULD NOT START (KEY WOULD NOT TURN/NO LIGHTS CAME ON, ETC.). I CONTACTED THE CARMAKER, AND THEY HAD STATED THAT THEY'D "NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF ISSUE BEFORE", BUT THEY DID OFFER TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK FROM ME (AT MARKET VALUE), BUT THEY BECAME DISINTERESTED WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS FINANCING THE VEHICLE FROM ELSEWHERE.
