NHTSA Complaint #11444510 — 2014 FORD FUSION

I JUST BOIGHT THIS CA 10/22/21 FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I REALIZED THE CAR HAD ISSUES BY THE 3RD DAY AFTER WHEN THE CAR HAD A FRONT TIRE BLOWOUT AND AFTER I REPAIRED BOTH TIRES ON DRIVERS SIDE I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE ALIGNMENT CAUSE THE CAR WAS PULLING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THERE AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALIST DRIVE THE VEHIACLE.THE DIAGNOSIS TO MY COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE AND WOULD MAKE TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK. ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE CAR WAS GIVING ME ERROR THAT THE CHARGING SYSTEM NEEDED ATTENTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS GIVEN ME LIMITED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED BUT HAVE A STRICT RULE ABOUT BRINGING IN VEHICLE BY 9AM BUT I WAS UNABLE TO GET A SCHEDULED DATE CONFIRMED SO I TRIED CHARGING THE BATTERY WITH CABLES AT THAT POINT THE CABLES CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER DIFUSING THAT ISSUE I WAS ABLE TO JUMP CAR AND GET HOME THE NEXT DAY I PURCHASED A BATTERY CHARGER AND CHARGED MY BATTERY AT HOME FOR 24 HOURS . I APPPLIED BATTERY IN THE CAR THE DAY AFTER AND WEMT TO TEST DRIVE IT, IT LEFT ME STRANDED AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AT THAT POINT SO I TOOK IN MY OWN HANDS TO JUST SEND IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP INSTEAD OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT CAR FROM CAUSE THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES TO GET THEM TO CALL YOU BACK IS LENGTHY AND I NEED TO GET TO WORK AND BACK ITS IMPORTANT SO I HAD CAR TOWED FROM MY HOME TO MAXWELL FORD. I ALSO HAD LEARNED OF 6 RECALLS THAT HAD BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED TO SO I FIGURED I WOULD GET THOSE FIXED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY . THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE THE 11TH OF DECEMBER WITH NOW A COST OF ALMOST 5600 DOLLARS AND THATS WHERE I AM WITH THINGS.
