I TOOK MY 2011 FORD FUSION TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN HARLINGEN TX. THEY VERIFIED THE VEHICLE WAS UP FOR RECALL SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MECHANICS TOOK THE CAR IN AND REPAIRED THE CAR AFTER 7 DAYS OF DROPPING IT OFF. ON DAY 7 THEY CALLED ME THAT IT NEEDED A TIE ROD WHICH I PURCHASED AND DELIVERED FIRST HAND. 2 HOURS LATER THEY CALLED ME THAT I HAD TO PAY $1,300 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT UP FOR RECALL AND THAT IF I DIDN'T PAY THEY WOULD BE PUTTING MY BROKEN PART BACK ON AND RELEASING THE CAR TO ME. I WENT ON TO COMPLAIN TO THE MANAGER AND THEY MANAGED TO TAKE $500 OUT FOR THE REPAIRS THEY HAVE DONE THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE UP FOR RECALL. I WAITED 7 DAYS TO FIND OUT I WAS BEING CHARGED FOR A SERVICE THAT WAS SUPPOSED...

I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR LAST YEAR 2017. I TOOK IT TO BE FIXED. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND POWER STEERING MODULE. AFTER HAVING THAT REPLACED I LATER NOTICE MY CAR WASN'T DRIVING RIGHT. THERE WAS A WHINING NOISE AND A NOISE COMING FOR STEERING WHEEL. SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO HAVE IT CHECK OUT.THE GUY SAID IT WILL COST $130.00 FOR THEM TO CHECK MY CAR. I ASKED IF COST TO CHECK THE PART THEY REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR WAS DRIVING THE SAME SINCE THEY FIXED IT. IT TOOK LESS THAN AN HOUR FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PARTS THAT WAS REPLACED. NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN GOING DOWN SINCE. SO JUNE 30,2018 I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR OIL CHANGE AND HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO GET RACK...

THE A/C BLOWER RESISTOR AND THE BLOWER RESISTOR CONNECTOR HAS BURNED AND MELTED 2 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2012. AS I WAS DRIVING A/C WOULD BLOW HARD FOR A MINUTE OR SO THE GO OUT, AND THE FINAL TIME IT WENT OUT BOTH TIMES MY PASSENGER SAW SMOKE AT HIS FEET FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX.

DRIVING 8 HOURS, 70 MPH, ON 92 OUTSIDE TEMP DAY THE CAR STARTED MAKING A THUMPING SOUND WHEN BREAKING/STEERING SIMULTANEOUSLY. STEERING BECAME SOMEWHAT STIFFER. THE SOUND GOT LOUDER AS TIME WENT ON, POSSIBLY DUE TO EXTREME HEAT. WIFE WAS WITH ME AND WE BOTH BECAME VERY WORRIED BECAUSE WE WERE IN ATLANTA 5 PM TRAFFIC. WE MADE IT HOME AND I BEGAN AN INFORMATION SEARCH. I FOUND THAT OUR 2011 FORD FUSION WAS INCLUDED IN A FIELD SERVICE ACTION 15N01. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL FORD SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT DID NOT APPLY TO THE SYMPTOMS I DESCRIBED BECAUSE THERE IS NO ADVANCE INDICATION THAT THE ELECTRIC CONTROLLED STEERING IS GOING OUT - IT JUST GOES OUT. FORD'S OWN REPORT MENTIONS THIS BEING POSSIBLY DANGEROUS BUT DOWNPLAYS THE CONCERN BY SAYING STEERING IS STILL POSSIBLE, JUST MORE DIFFICULT. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR SOME SUPPORT BUT OTHER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHIN LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNING THE VEHICLE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP ON OCCASION , NOT ALL THE TIME , YOU WONT BE ABLE TO STEER

I WAS BACKING UP IN MY 2011 FORD FUSION AND THAT ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE

WHEN I START MY CAR I GET A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND A SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC MESSAGE. I CAN NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND MY CAR ACTS AS IF IT WON'T DO ANYTHING. I CAN TURN MY CAR OFF, WAIT, THEN START AGAIN AND IT IS FINE. MY PASSENGER SEAT BELT ALSO WILL RANDOMLY NOT CLICK INTO THE BUCKLE OR COME UNLOCKED. NOW THIS IS AFTER FORD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ANOTHER RECALL CAUSING MY CAR TO DROP TO A LOW SPEED OUT OF NOWHERE.

I CAME HOME FROM SHOPPING AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO EXIT THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE OWNED PREVIOUS VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD ISSUES THAT A DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND ACTUALLY REACH OUT TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. THIS WAS A ISSUE THAT WAS ONGOING FOR FORD FUSIONS AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FAULTY DOOR LATCHES.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND REAR PARK AID ALERT MALFUNCTION.

BATTERY, STARTER AND FLYWHEEL. FLYWHEEL MISSING TEETH POSSIBLY AFTER FAILED BATTERY. ORIGINALLY MY CAR WAS JUMP STARTED BY AAA 01/2014 DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE. WAS ADVISED TO GET BATTERY REPLACED. WHICH WAS RELUCTANTLY REPLACED BY FORD AT 36,805 01/2014. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS MAY HAVE TRIGGERED A NOISE THAT I IGNORED FOR A TIME, WHERE WHEN THE CAR WOULD START SOMETIMES IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE. IT WAS NOT EVERY START, BUT IT DID BECOME INCREASINGLY PRONOUNCED. IN MAY I FINALLY WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO SAID I HAD TEETH MISSING FROM THE STARTER AND FLY WHEEL AND THAT IT WAS MY FAULT FOR TRYING TO START THE CAR WHILE IT WAS RUNNING (THOUGH MY CAR HAS THE START LOCKOUT FEATURE). THE DEALER WANTED OVER $1700 TO REPLACE FLYWHEEL AND STARTER. OPENED A CASE WITH FORD AND THEY COVERED THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR, LEAVING ME WITH ABOUT A $450...

VEHICLE REPAIRED 4 TIMES FOR INOPERABLE BLOWER MOTOR. FAN/BLOWER WILL EITHER FAIL OUTRIGHT, OR OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETE FAILURE. WILL FAIL EITHER IN WINTER OR SUMMER WHEN FAN IS USED THE MOST. THE FIRST TWO TIMES (3/1/2014 & 3/14/2016) THE RESISTOR CONTROL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE WIRE HARNESS. THE THIRD TIME (11/29/2016) THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED. THE FOURTH TIME THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY THESE CONNECTORS ARE MELTING DUE TO THE CURRENT DRAWN BY THE BLOWER MOTOR. I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A TSB ISSUE, BUT FORD REFUSES TO ASSIST AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO HELP OR HONOR ANY WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY MANAGE TO REPLACE "DIFFERENT" PARTS EACH TIME, THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT IF THE BLOWER MOTOR, THE RESISTOR, AND ALL CONNECTORS WERE ALL REPLACED AT THE ONSET WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY ONE...

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR JERKING WHEN IT CHANGED GEARS. THE RPM WOULD SHOOT UP HIGH THEN BACK DOWN WHILE LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I MANAGED TO GET TO AN AUTO ADVANCE STORE WHERE I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE SINCE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH CODE PO455 TWICE AND PO457 TWICE. IT WAS THEN EXPLAINED THAT TOO MUCH AIR WAS GETTING INTO MY FUEL SYSTEM. I PROCEEDED TO GO TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS A HALF MILE AWAY. ON THE WAY, MY CAR CONTINUED TO JERK AND LOOSE POWER AND SOME POINTS. THEN EVERYTHING DIGITAL WHICH ONE DISPLAYS MY MILEAGE AND THE OTHER DISPLAYS HOW MANY MILE TILL EMPTY DISPLAYED INTERMITTENT LINES AND THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD.

BURNT TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS SOME MELTING AS WELL BECAUSE THE BULB WAS STUCK INSIDE SOCKET

WENT TO TOWN AND PARKED THE CAR WENT IN TO THE STORE AND WHEN I STARTED TO LEAVE I NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK. I DROVE THE CAR HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING. IT'S A GOOD THING THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM MY QUESTION IS WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED IF IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM.

A WRENCH LITE UP ON MY CAR AD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND YOUR SLOWS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND YOU CAN NOT GET YOUR CAR TO GO. I HAD TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR 4 TIMES WITHIN 40 MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL. I HAD KIDS IN MY CAR AND I LIVE 40 MILES OUT OF TOWN. I GOT REALLY SCARED AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I AM NOT PAYING A MECHANIC TO FIX THIS WHEN FORD KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IF THIS DOES NOT GET FIXED FREE OF CHARGE I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN. *TR
