2013 FORD FUSION Structurebody Problems

Two recalls for this make year and model car had been recalled previously but not for my VIN specifically and the issues are appearing. The first is “doors may open driving” recall on your website and the second is “engine cylinder head may leaks oil” which is also on ur website. Both were recalled for this make and year of the ford fusion but not for my VIN so ford is stating they cannot fix it and want to charge me even for a diagnostic.

The trunk randomly opens. Sitting in our driveway, going down the highway which does obscure the rear view mirror. It’s happened many times and I haven’t been able to duplicate

The drivers side door showed it was latched there weren’t any lights saying that the drivers side door was open or any other door was opened. I was driving and turning left and all the sudden my drivers side door flew open and struck objects on the side of the road people had placed out for garbage pick up. My safety was put at risk by my drivers side door coming open while I was driving. I started to pull over but by the time I was almost stopped my drivers side door came swinging back and I had my hand out to catch it , it smacked into my left hand bending my wrist back and shoving my elbow in my arm into my side causing excruciating pain. My drivers side door has dents a scratches in it from the objects it smashed into and I have pain in...

THE HOOD LATCH ON MY 2013 FORD FUSION BROKE AND WOULD FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I REPLACED MINE AND FROM THE UPLOADED PICTURES YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PART WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE PLASTIC BUMP (CIRCLED IN RED) THAT THE LEVER GRABS ON TO WEARS OUT OVER TIME, AND WHEN LIFTED, WILL NOT OPEN THE HOOD CORRECTLY . IT'S ALSO NOT FAIR THAT THE PARTS NEEDED HAVE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY, COST CUTTING AT ITS FINEST .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED THAT THE TRUNK WAS LEAKING AND FULL OF WATER. THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF WATER IN THE TRUNK AND THERE WAS MOLD ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK. THE AREA WHERE THE SPEAR TIRE WAS LOCATED WAS COVERED WITH MOLD AND RUST. THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS COVERED WITH MOLD AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL, THE SEATS, THE DASHBOARD AND CARPET. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED NOR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

PASSENGER CAR DOOR LOCK LATCH WON'T CLOSE, THE LATCH IS DOWN BUT IT WON'T LOCK WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR

A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WAS A RECALL OF FORD 2013 FUSION DUE TO DOOR LATCHES FAILING. MY LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY PERFORMED THE WARRANTY REPAIRS. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE RIGHT REAR DOOR ON MY CAR WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE REPAIR HAD BEEN MADE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE. I DISSEMBLED THE DOOR MYSELF AND LOCATED THE DEFECTIVE PART. WHILE RESEARCHING THE PART I DISCOVERED NHTSA RECALL 20V-177. THE YEAR OF MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL BUT THE PART NUMBER OF THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RECALL INFORMATION AS WELL AS A PHOTO OF THE DEFECTIVE PART FROM MY VEHICLE. THERE ARE TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS ACTUALLY NEVER REPLACE BY THE DEALER, OR, THE PART USED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE PART IS DEFECTIVE AS WELL. PLEASE LET...

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH BROKE DOOR WON'T CLOSE COUNTY ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED

MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLEW OPEN STRIKING A FENCE. NOW IT WILL NOT SHUT AT ALL.? *TR

MY VEHICLE HAD THE DOOR LATCH RECALL COMPLETED IN 2015. SINCE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER, AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD BY NOT LATCHING CLOSED WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF PROBLEM HAPPENS 12 MONTHS AFTER RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED. ANY REPAIRS HAS TO BE AT MY EXPENSE AND DIAGNOSTIC HAS TO BE PAID BY ME BECAUSE IT IS A LABOR CHARGE. SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC PLUS TO REPAIR PART BECAUSE OVER 12 MONTHS AGO RECALL REPLACEMENT WAS COMPLETED. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AS ORIGINAL PART WAS. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED, EVEN WHEN LOCKED. WHEN THE DOOR IS PUSHED CLOSED, IT BOUNCES BACK AT THE CLOSER AND WILL NOT CLOSE AT ALL. THERE WAS NOTHING IMPEDING THE DOOR TO CLOSE, IT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE INITIAL ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT WILL FLY OPEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. WE HAD TO ACTIVELY HOLD IT CLOSED TO DRIVE IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THIS VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER THE 2017 DOOR LATCH RECALL IN MAY 2019, AND THE REPAIR DIDN'T LAST A YEAR. *TR

MY DOOR WONT LATCH AND COMES OPEN WHEN DRIVING. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I WAS DRIVING WITH SOMEONE WHEN THE DOOR CAME OPEN AND WHEN WE TRIED SHUTTING IT WE NOTICED IT OPENS AND JUST WONT SHUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

DRIVING AND DOOR SWUNG OPEN ON THE ONE EXPRESS WAY ALMOST KILLED ME IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON.

THE LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR BROKE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE PASSENGER GOT OUT AND WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT SHUT.

AFTER REPAIRING THE DOORS LATCHES IN MARCH OF 2016 FOR NHTSA RECALL 15V-246, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH ON OCTOBER 18, 2019. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME IN A PARKING LOT. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT INITIATED THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY THE REPLACED PART DURING THE RECALL IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED FOR A COST OF $347. I HAVE AN INVOICE FROM THE DEALER AT HAND. THE INVOICE IS FOR "REPLACE THE CABLE FOR LATCH AND HANDLE DUE TO BREAKING AND NOT ALLOWING PROPER MOVEMENT." THE PART IS A CABLE ASSEMBLY AND THE FORD PART NUMBER IS DS7Z 54221A00 B

DOOR LATCH RECALL WAS PERFORMED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. APPROX 14 MONTHS. (15S16) DOOR LATCHES HAVE A PAWL SPRING TAB THAT MAY BREAK. THIS CONDITION WILL TYPICALLY PREVENT THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE THE DOOR IS ABLE TO BE CLOSED, THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. SERVICE ACTION DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES. THIS SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AT NO CHARGE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. HOWEVER THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT SHUT LAST WEEK. THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL HAS BEEN CLOSED OUT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER WHICH THEN I WAS QUOTED THE PARTS AND LABOR OF THE JOB. I CONTACTED FORD RELATIONS STATING THIS STILL FALLS UNDER THE DESCRIPTION OF 15S16 HOWEVER THEY CANNOT REOPEN THE RECALL ONCE IT HAS BEEN CLOSED. THE RECALL 15S16 IS POINTLESS...

DRIVER DOOR LATCH, WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL 15S16 IN FEB 2016 AT 57K MILES, FAILED TO LATCH IN OCT 2019 AT 108K MILES. DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE BROKEN LATCH THEY REMOVED WAS ONE OF THE UPGRADED PARTS. DOOR LATCH WORKED FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE BUT FAILED IN THE MORNING WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE MY DOOR AND THE DOOR BOUNCED OPEN AGAIN. CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION OR EVEN STARTED YET WHEN THE REPLACEMENT LATCH FAILED. CAR IS GARAGED, NO ADVERSE WEATHER THAT DAY OR THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. THE REPLACEMENT PART LASTED LESS TIME THAN THE ORIGINAL WORKING LATCH THAT WAS REPLACED AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE UNDER RECALL.*DT

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN DRIVEWAY WHEN BACK PASSENGER DOOR SPRUNG OPEN AND WOULD NOT CLOSE BACK. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON DIRT ROAD CLOSE TO HOME THE DRIVER DOOR SPRUNG OPEN AND AGAIN WOULD NOT SHUT (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION). WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE DOOR THE LATCH THAT SECURES THE DOOR TO THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. BOTH DOORS HAVE EXHIBITED THE EXACT FAILURE.

ON 9/30/2019, AFTER LOADING MY 4 YEAR OLD INTO A BOOSTER SEAT ADJACENT THE DRIVER'S-SIDE REAR DOOR, I CLOSED THE DOOR AND, AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE DRIVER'S-SIDE REAR DOOR SLOWLY OPENED UP. I REACHED BACK TO CLOSE IT AGAIN AND IT JUST BOUNCED CLOSED AND THEN OPEN AGAIN. FINDING A PLACE TO PARK, I EXAMINED THE LATCH, WHICH WOULD NOT CATCH AT ALL WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. I HAD TO USE ROPES AND BUNGEE CORDS TO SECURE THE DOOR TO GET HOME AND MY 4 YEAR OLD HAD TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT SINCE I COULDN'T RISK HIM BEING IN THE BACK WITH A DOOR THAT WASN'T SECURE. TODAY, 10/1/2019, I CONTACTED FORD LEGACY IN MCDONOUGH GA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT WHILE THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR 2013 FUSION FOR LATCH FAILURES, MY VEHICLE WASN'T SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND I...

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO WATSON FORD IN JACKSON, MS IN 2017 TO BE RECALL SERVICED. THEY FIXED EVERYTHING..INCLUDING MY DOOR LATCHES. I HAD TO BRING IT BACK IN JUNE 18 BECAUSE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SWING OPEN AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE SEAT & COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. NOW, MY BACK DOOR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH HAS DONE THE VERY SAME THING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TALK TO THE FORD COMPANY, TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT BUT THEY REFUSE. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES & BOTH TIMES MY CHILD'S LIFE WAS ENDANGERED. THEY'VE BEEN RUDE & UNHELPFUL. I ONLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY WITHOUT MY CAR DOOR FLYING OPEN. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD PROBLEM CONCERNING THESE DOOR LATCHES. PLEASE HELP

RECALL OF DOOR LOCKS, FULLY REPLACED IN 2017. WAS AT WORK YESTERDAY AND THE DOOR LATCH FAILED JUST LIKE INITIAL INCIDENT. WENT TO CLOSE THE DOOR & IT BOUNCED BACK LIKE SOMETHING WAS STOPPING IT FROM CLOSING. AS PER FORD THEY AREN'T RESPONSIBLE.

I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE STOPPED READY TO TURN IN TO MY DRIVE WAY PICKUP HIT ME ABOUT 40 MILE PER HR.PUSH ME ACROSS THE STREET INTO SOME MEDAL PIPES WHY DID THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF?????I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY

PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCHES BROKE WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. THE CAR WAS PARKED BOTH TIMES AND WHEN EXITING THE CAR AND TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS, THEY DO NOT LATCH SHUT AND ONLY REMAIN OPEN.*DT *TP

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS NON FUNCTIONAL. A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF 2013 FORD FUSION VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. A FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR THE NON FUNCTIONING DOOR LATCH, THEY CLAIM MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM NOW LEFT WITH A NON OPERATIONAL VEHICLE DUE TO THE DOORS INABILITY TO BE SECURED PROPERLY.

WAS DRIVING IN TOWN (LESS THAN 45 MPH) WHEN I TURNED A CORNER MY BACK DOOR CAME OPEN ON ITS OWN. THANKFULLY, MY 5YR OLD WAS BUCKLED IN TIGHT HIS BOOSTER BECAUSE HE WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE. THERE WAS NO AJAR LIGHTS OR SOUNDS THAT THE DOOR MAY HAVE BEEN OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE LAST TIME THE DOOR WAS CLOSED, IT LATCHED SECURELY AND WAS NOT AN ISSUE. THE DOOR NOW WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL, IT WILL CLOSE BUT THE LATCH WILL NOT HOLD IT CLOSED. THERE WAS A RECALL REPAIR ALREADY DONE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEM (RECALL # 15S16) IN 2016. SO THIS WOULD BE A REOCCURRING FAILURE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. FORD WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2ND REPAIR OF THE VERY SAME FAILURE AS THE ORIGINAL RECALL, SINCE IT WAS 3 YRS AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR.*DT*JB

RECALL # 15S16 ON MY 2013 FORD FUSION TITANIUM VIN # [XXX] FOR DOOR SAFETY LATCH REPLACEMENT. FORD MARKED THIS "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL JUNE 2016" ON JAN 13, 2018 I TOOK MY ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE TO GIBBONS FORD 704 MARTIN F. GIBBONS BLVD, DICKSON CITY PA 18519 SERVICE ADVISOR WAS 128 [XXX]. MY MILEAGE WAS 52616 UPON DROP OFF. UPON PICK UP I WAS INFORMED TECH VERIFIED RECALLS AND TECH VERIFIED PROPER OPERATION AS PER RECALL 15S14. H DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT ALL OPEN RECALLS BE. ON APPROXIMATELY 07/19/19 WHILE ENROUTE TO WORK MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FLUNG OPEN WITH GREAT FORCE THAT STARTLED ME. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO SECURE THE DOOR BUT THE DOOR BOUNCED BACK OPEN. ONCE AGAIN I TRIED TO SECURE THE DOOR AND IT FAILED TO SECURE. THE VEHICLE DOOR WAS SECURED USING ROPE THAT WAS TIED AROUND THE...

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY. DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AT ALL.

LAST YEAR, OUR BACK PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT. WE DID A SIMPLE SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2013 FORD FUSIONS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO THE FORD DEALER, THEY SAID OUR SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT UNDER RECALL BUT THAT IT WAS A "BROKEN PAWL SPRING TAB" WHICH RESIDES INSIDE THE CAR DOOR, THAT WAS THE ISSUE. WE PAID FOR THE REPAIR. LAST WEEK, THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR (DIFFERENT DOOR). BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED AS WE WERE GETTING INTO THE CAR WHILE IT WAS STILL PARKED. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE OUR SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO US BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE PART AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED...

PASSENGER DOOR LATCH LET GO DURING ON RAMP CORNERING RESULTING IN PASSENGER DOOR TO FLY OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS LATCH WAS REPLACED BY FORD DURING A PREVIOUS RECALL A YEAR AGO.

YESTERDAY ON JULY 2ND, 2019 I PICKED MY FRIEND UP FROM THE AIRPORT. AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME THE DOOR LITERALLY UNLATCHED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE. IT WAS LIKE A MALFUNCTION. I CHECKED TO BE SURE THAT NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY TO PREVENT IT FROM CLOSING AND THERE WASN'T. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON 2014 AND 2015 BUT NOT ON MY 2013 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT ON (MARCH 27TH, 2017) THERE WAS THIS SAME RECALL ON THE 2013. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY $400 DUE TO MY WARRANTY RUNNING OUT A WEEK AGO. I'M CURRENTLY USING MY SEATBELT TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT DUE TO THIS BEING MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE FRONT SEAT, SHE HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. I HAD IT REPAIRED LAST THURSDAY AND TODAY (SUNDAY), THE SA.E THING HAPPENED TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR! WE FOUND THE RECALL ONLINE TODAY WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN. NOBODY WAS HURT THANKFULLY AND THE CAR WAS NOT DAMAGED.

CAR NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT IN FRONT. WAXED ALL THE TIME.. AND NOW RUST SROPE INDER THE PAINT. AND NOW THE PAINT CRACKED AND STARTING TO PEEL. ALOT OF REPORTS ARE SAYING THE SAM THING. ALSO THERE ARE RECALLS OUT FOR THAT ISSUE.

THE DOOR LATCHES STOP LATCHING AND NOT EVEN A LOCKED DOOR SECURES THE LATCH AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBER MAY FALL OUT OF THE CAR.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT GOING INTO PARK. LAST WEEK I GOT HOME PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK BUT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS STUCK IN THE DRIVE MODE. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR FROM ROLLING INTO MY HOUSE WAS BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS IS THE SECOND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL WITH THIS VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY I HAD A RECALL WITH THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCH. DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ONE PARTICULAR DAY AND THE DOOR OPENS. MY PERSONAL OPINION AND BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE THE 2013 FORD FUSION IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED PROPERLY.

THE HOOD LATCH CONTINUES TO LOOSEN CAUSING MY HOOD NOT TO CLOSE PROPERLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER FUSIONS IN MY TOWN ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH HOODS THAT ARE NOT PROPERLY SHUTTING AS WELL.

FORD FUSION RECALL - RIGHT REAR DOOR LATCH UNHOOKED, THE DOOR DOESN'T STAY CLOSED. RECALL WAS FOUND ON THIS SITUATION, AND FRONT RIGHT DOOR HAD THIS ISSUE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND WAS CLAIMED TO BE FIXED. NOW REAR RIGHT DOOR IS HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS ENTIRELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ANGELA KRAUSE FORD IN ROSWELL WAS CHARGING AROUND $500 TO REPLACE THIS DOOR LATCH, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STAYING AT THEIR LOCATION WAITING FOR A WARRANTY TO COVER THE COSTS BUT THIS DID NOT OCCUR, AND WE WERE STILL CHARGED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE DOOR.

DOOR LATCH BROKEN. THIS TIME IT'S THE DRIVERS ENTRY DOOR. THIS IS THE 3RD DOOR LATCH TO BREAK AFTER THE DOOR LATCH RECALL 'FIX' THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS LATCH BROKE WHILE STATIONARY, THE FIRST BROKEN LATCH OCCURRED WHEN MOVING

THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING FAILED,CAUSING INACCURATE GEAR SELECTION,RESULTING IN CAR ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, CROSSING THE STREET AND CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBORS TREE. DAMAGE INCLUDED THE REAR BUMPER, THE TREE, NO ONE WAS HURT BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. FORD HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR, AND MODEL, BUT INSIST THAT MY CAR IS NOT IN THE LIST. THIS INCIDENT HAS COST TO DATE ALMOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX. THE LOSS OF CONFIDENCE REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE CANNOT BE MONETIZED.

WHEN IT RAINS I GET A PUDDLE OF WATER IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT FLOOR BOARDS..WE CANNOT FIND WHERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT'S COMING FROM A FAULTY SEAL AROUND THE WINDSHIELD.IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY.

VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED SUMMER OF 2018 FOR DOOR LATCH RECALL. ALL DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED PER THE RECALL. PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR THE RIGHT REAR LATCH FAILED. ON 12/18/18 THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER LATCH FAILED ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN WITH THE INABILITY TO CLOSE. DEALER REPLACED THIS LATCH UNDER WARRANTY ON 12/20/18. RECALL DIDN'T WORK. LATCHES ARE STILL FAILING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TODAY AND THE PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN. I ASKED ABOUT A RECALL LAST MONTH BECAUSE THE DOOR STOP CATCHING AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE THE RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCH UNDER MY VIN #. DOOR FLEW OPEN ON THE STREET AS I WAS MAKING A TURN ON MY WAY TO WORK. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO MY JOB SO I JUST DROVE A FEW BLOCKS WITH MY HAND HOLDING THE PASSENGER DOOR SHUT.

KEEP GETTING NOTICES ABOUT 15S16 FOR DOOR LATCH. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE FIRST NOTICE, PART IS NEVER IN STOCK. CAN'T GET SERVICE DONE UNTIL THEY'RE FORCED TO PROPERLY STOCK THIS PART, MEANWHILE I KEEP GETTING NOTICES I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT.

THE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR FAILED DURING OPERATION AND THE DOOR OPENED WHILE UNDERWAY. TAKEN TO FORD TO BE FIXED AS I HAVE SEEN OTHER ISSUES WITH THE DOOR LATCH FAILING ON THE SAME VEHICLE. FORD SAID THIS WAS NOT A RECALLED PART. THE DOOR OPENED AND WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT AGAIN CAUSING ME TO TRY USE BY BELT AS A STRAP TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS CLOSED, BUT OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN, BUT THE DOOR LOCK DID NOT ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO D&D MOTORS FORD (13655 WADE HAMPTON BLVD, GREER, SC 29651) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

DOOR LATCH RECALL. I HAVE A 2013 FORD FUSION THAT THE DRIVER LATCH FAILED. MY CAR WAS BUILT DURING THE TIME FRAME GIVEN IN THE RECALL AND THE PLANT THAT IT CAME FROM. FORD TELLS ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. BUT THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A CLEAR RESPONSE OTHER THAN MY VIN DOES NOT FALL INTO THE CATEGORY FOR THE RECALL. I AM GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE ME THE EXACT REASON AS TO WHY IT IS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE ATTACHED THE CORRESPONDENCE WITH FORD.

OUR CALL HAD A RECALL , NEVER GOT NOTICE AND THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE LOCALIZED OVERHEATING MY CYLINDER HEAD TO CRACK, RESULT IN FIRE IN ENGINE AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR 2013 FORD FUSION

DOOR WON'T ENGAGE AND REMAINS OPENED, SO I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT FORD HAS NUMEROUS DOOR LATCH RECALLS AND IT APPEARED THAT MY FOCUS OF THE YEARS I OWN WAS INCLUDED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WHEN I PULLED IN, THE GREETING PERSON SAW MY BUNGIE CORD SYSTEM TO HOLD THE DOOR SOMEWHAT CLOSED AND HE SAID "OH I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE" OBVIOUSLY, HE HAS SEEN THIS MANY TIMES, HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO THE DESK, THE REP SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. I LEFT AND CALLED FORD. I TOLD OF THE SITUATION AND SAID THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I WOULD HATE IF SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENED WHERE IT WOULD END UP IN A LAW SUIT OR ON THE NEWS. THE REP WHO WAS OBVIOUSLY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY AND I COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND, SAID...

GOT INTO THE CAR TO LEAVE THE STORE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. EXAMINED THE DOOR AND THE LATCH WAS BROKEN. RAN THE SEATBELT THROUGH THE HANDLE TO KEEP DOOR SHUT. TOOK TO DEALER AND HAD THEM REPLACE A BROKEN DOOR LATCH. CHECKED TO SEE IF CAR WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR EXACT PROBLEM, BUT IT WAS NOT FOR SOME REASON.

RECALL ON DOOR LATCH WAS SERVICED ON NOV 3 2017 AT 85000 MILES. AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. CONTACTED HENNESSY FORD IN ALPHARETTA GA THAT DONE THE RECALL AND SAYS THERE'S NO WARRANTY ON RECALL REPAIRS.

DOOR LATCH FAILURE
