2016 FORD FUSION HYBRID Electrical System Problems

Car has intermittent electrical issue that causes ECUs to reboot often times disabling safety systems such as ABS, Airbags, Collision Avoidance, Adaptive Cruise Control, power steering and power brakes. Ford dealer believes that it's a short in a wiring harness. They claim this issue has been seen in several vehicles like mine. Ford was able to reproduce the problem and recommends replacement of a wiring harness ($4k).

My 2016 Fusion Hybrid SE. All SYNC related functions ceased to function . Cant use bluetooth. cant do voice commands. USB is not working and not charging. Radio works fine, but phone button does nothing; menu button does nothing; voice command button on steering wheel does nothing.

I drove the vehicle 2 miles to a nearby shopping center. I came out 15 minutes later and tried to start the car.

The next day they called and said they saw the issue 3 different times and saw communication errors in the car computer. They cleared the errors and let it...

MY TRUNK KEPT POPPING OPEN ONCE IN A WHILE. I FINALLY LEFT MY KEY FOB A LONG WAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL POPPED OPEN. I EAT MY LUNCH IN MY CAR AT WORK AND I WAS SITTING THERE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TRUNK POPPED OPEN BY ITSELF AND THEN I HEARD THE DOOR LOCKS CLICK OPEN. SO I DECIDED WHEN I FINISHED MY LUNCH TO LOCK IT UP AND PUT MY KEYS BACK IN MY OFFICE. LATER I WALKED OUT BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD ME MY TRUNK WAS OPEN. NOT ONLY WAS MY TRUNK WIDE OPEN BUT MY DOOR WAS UNLOCKED. I WAS HOME ONE DAY AND WE HAD TEMPERATURES IN THE 80'S THAT DAY AND THE CAR WAS WIGGING OUT. THE KEY PAD ON THE SIDE WAS LIGHTING UP AND FADING OUT AND THE TRUNK WAS CLICKING LIKE CRAZY (IT WAS ALREADY IN THE OPEN POSITION)...
