NHTSA Complaint #11691275 — 2018 FORD FUSION

Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) malfunction. Causing sluggish response when attempting to accelerate which has nearly caused an accident on multiple occasions. Other vehicles near the date of manufacture of this vehicle are reported having the same symptoms including potential for fire. There is a recall on similar vehicles: Fusion Energi Recall Issued: 2019-2020 - BECM Fire Risk (NHTSA: 23V440, Ford: 23S33) NHTSA Reference: NEF-107DM 23V-440 The date range of vehicles affected most likely needs to be modified to include vehicles manufactured earlier than December 2017. My vehicle, in particular, was manufactured in August 2017 and exhibits the same BECM issue, however, is not currently included in the recall.
