2014 FORD FUSION Electrical System Problems

APRIL 13TH, 2018 APPROXIMATELY 4:45PM. PICKED UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL GET BACK INTO MY CAR, START IGNITION AND START DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL. AIR CONDITIONER STOPS WORKING, LOCKS LOCK, WINDOWS WON'T GO DOWN. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET AIR INTO THE CAR.I TOOK THE CAR TO PEORIA FORD ON APRIL 16, 2018 AND THEY HAD THE CAR 2 WEEKS AND 1 DAY AND REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC BOARD. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON TUESDAY MAY 1ST. I DROVE THE CAR ON SUNDAY MAY 6TH TO TAKE MY KIDS TO THEIR FATHERS HOUSE. THE AIR CONDITIONING ONCE AGAIN WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED AND WINDOWS WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 101 WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I DROVE IT HOME AND IT SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL MONDAY, MAY 7TH. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS TO HOT TO DRIVE THAT DAY AND...

THE WIRING TO THE DIGITAL SCREEN HAS SHORTED OUT SOMEHOW NOW I HAVE TO GO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 72,000 MILES ON IT

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE PARKED VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE, I PLUGGED IN THE 110-VOLT CHARGER THAT CAME WITH THE CAR INTO THE WALL BEFORE PLUGGING IT INTO THE VEHICLE. IT SPARKED AND NEARLY CAUSED A FIRE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS CLEAR THE PLUG WAS OVERHEATING OVER TIME AND CAUSED A SHORT IN THE WIRING ADJACENT TO THE PLUG. THE OEM OF THE UNIT WAS MADE BY CLIPPER CREEK. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO CLIPPER CREEK AS WELL.

MY 2014 FUSION HAD ABOUT 47,000 MILES WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO ALL BUT THE IGNITION AND LIGHTS. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE REASON AT 2 DEALERSHIPS IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS THAT LEADS TO THE BCM MODULE WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AND IT BASICALLY BROKE. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS ON BACK ORDER OVER 35 DAYS SINCE APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY MORE OF THESE PROBLEMS ON THE 2014 FUSION ASSEMBLED AT THIS PLANT. THE REPAIR FOR THIS FORD-BUILT ISSUE WAS $2,655.03 AND FORD BASICALLY TOLD ME TO STICK IT WHEN ASKED FOR A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR WHILE MY CAR WAS IMMOBILIZED FOR 40 DAYS. AUTO RENTAL WAS ANOTHER $1,000 FOR THE MONTH. FORD CS REPS IN DEARBORN BASICALLY SCOFFED AT ANY ATTEMPT TO HAVE MERCY ON ME AND INCREASED THE PART PRICE SINCE IT WAS HARD TO FIND. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE IMMOBILIZED FUSION'S, OR...

THIS CAR JUST FELL APART AT 130000 MILES. THE PURGE VALVE FAILED 3 TIMES. THE ABS SPEED SENSOR PIGTAIL FAILED. THE ENTIRE PCM UNIT BOARD SHORTED UN REPAIRABLE. THE MAP SENSOR FAILED. FORD HAS CHARGED ME 3 TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS AS FAILURES WERE LESS THEN 4 DAYS APART SO TOWED BACK EACH TIME. A PCM COMPLETE FAILURE ON A CAR NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 130000 MILES IS AN ISSUE AS THEY WANT AROUND $1000 FOR REPLACEMENT WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE FAILING. ADD IN ALL THE PREVIOUS RECALLS THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE START. I AM A LONG TIME FORD BUYER BUT THIS HAS SOURED ME. THE ABS PIG TAIL TRIGGERED ALL SAFETY LIGHTS DROPS POWER STEERING AND POOR BRAKING.

2014 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO EMERGENCY BRAKE INTERMITTENTLY DISENGAGES WHILE VEHICLE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IDLES IN NEUTRAL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WARMER POWER ON BY IT'S SELF. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DASH DISPLAY FAILED TO ALLOW DATA ENTRY. *JS

I PURCHASED A NEW-TO-ME 2014 FORD FUSION FROM GERMAIN FORD IN COLUMBUS OHIO ON 2/2/18. ON THE 2ND DAY I HAD THE CAR THERE WAS A LIGHT SNOW STORM, A FEW INCHES, I AM A WONDERFUL DRIVER WITH A CLEAN RECORD. I WENT TO PULL OUT OF MY STREET AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS ICE UNTIL I STOPPED AT A LIGHT & MY WHEELS STARTED SPINNING AND I COULD HARDLY MAINTAIN CONTROL. I FELT LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TAKING OVER AND I WAS FIGHTING IT AS I KEPT SLIDING. THIS WENT ON THE ENTIRE TWO MILES TO WORK. I'D NEVER BEEN MORE TERRIFIED. I'VE DRIVEN IN SNOW AND ICE FOR 20 YEARS AND THIS IS MY 6TH FORD AND I HAD NEVER BEEN SO AFRAID OF A CAR. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A ONE TIME ISSUE, MAYBE IT REALLY WAS JUST A...

I HAD LEASED A 2014 FORD FUSION BACK IN 2014, HAD EVERY INTENTION IN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, A COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE MY LEASE WAS TO END I WAS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL/DEFECT ISSUES IN SEPTEMBER 2016, ALL MY LOCKS, AIR/HEAT, WINDOWS WOULD SHUT OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS SLOWLY DRAINING MY BATTERY. I MADE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PHONE CALLS TO FORD CORPORATION/CUSTOMER SERVICE ASKING FOR HELP, AND INFORMING THEM THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE (MAILED THEM EVIDENCE OF MY ISSUES). TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT TOM HOLZER FORD, AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS MADE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE THEY STILL COULD NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE PROPERLY, I SPENT $400.00 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND I WAS STILL LEFT WITH THE SAME ISSUES LISTED ABOVE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME THEY TRIED TO CHANGE THEIR STORY AND CLAIM I HAD A NEW PROBLEM...

WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR AND ACTUALLY TAKING OFF DRIVING THE CAR WILL STOP/ SHUT OFF ALL BY ITSELF AND I HAVE TO RESTART IT, WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL PULL OR JERK WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT TWICE. CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT DOES IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING FAIL ASSIST SERVICE REQUIRED, AND HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

THE FORD FUSION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS HAS SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, LOST FULL THROTTLE POWER WHILE DRIVING (RADIO REMAINS ON), I.E., GAS STOPS FLOWING INTO ENGINE DESPITE ATTEMPTING ACCELERATION, AND THE CAR WILL ON ITS OWN COME TO A STOP. SO FAR, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S VERY SCARY! THIS GENERALLY OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR HAS HAD IGNITION TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD GENERALLY AT LOW SPEED - DON'T WANT TO EVER EXPERIENCE THIS HAPPENING ON A HIGHWAY! THEN I TURN ENGINE OFF A FEW SECONDS AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART - IT OFTEN TAKES SCARILY LONGER AFTER THIS POWER LOSS TO RESTART, BUT IT DOES RESTART. COULD LEAD TO LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS OBVIOUSLY!

CAR SAYS IT'S IVERHEATING AND IT WAS STATIONARY FOR HOURS BEFORE.

I'VE HAD MY CAR ONE YEAR AND IT HAS 50K MILES ON IT. THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY WENT OUT AND NOW MY ENTIRE EPS HAS TO BE REPLACED.

STEERING PULLS OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS FAULTY

1) STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE AND GETTING LOOSER. THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. 2) CAR STILL THINKS IT IS PLUGGED IN WHEN UNPLUGGED. WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO START WITHOUT A NEW VISUAL PROMPT CONFIRMING THAT THE CAR IS INDEED UNPLUGGED.

I TRIED ENTERING MY CAR AFTER CHURCH AND THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT GO DOWN, RADIO WOULD NOT TURN ON, LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK (CAR WAS JUST UNLOCKED EVEN THOUGH I USED MY KEY PRIOR TO LOCK IT), AND THE AIR/HEAT CONTROLS WOULD NOT WORK. THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IN MICHIGAN HAVE BEEN QUITE HOT BUT THIS DAY IT WAS CLOSE TO 93 DEGREES AND IT FELT LIKE A SAUNA IN MY CAR. I HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS THAT I TRANSPORT IN MY CAR AND WITH THE HOT WEATHER AND NO ABILITY FOR WINDOWS TO GO DOWN OR AIR TO BE TURNED ON WE COULD BASICALLY SUFFOCATE. I EVEN WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY (06/12/2017) AND THE CAR ISSUES ARE STILL PRESENT: LOCKS NOT WORKING, WINDOWS NOT WORKING, RADIO NOT WORKING, AIR NOT WORKING, AND ALL DASH CONTROLS NOT WORKING, AND TODAY MY KEY CONTROLS (LOCK, UNLOCK, AND ALARM) WOULD...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (MULLINAX FORD OF KISSIMMEE 1810 E IRLO BRONSON MEMORIAL HWY, KISSIMMEE, FL 34744 407-846-6000) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY, TRANSMISSION, BATTERY, AND DRIVE TRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V875000 (SEAT BELTS) AND A MANUFACTURER'S EXTENDED SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO ADDRESS A FAILURE CONCERNING MODULES FOR THE ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR MONTHS CONCERNING THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK TO VERIFY THE EXTENDED SERVICE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THE DEALER MADE NO MENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONTACT'S CONCERNS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PICKED MY DAUGHTER UP AND STARTED THE CAR. THE RADIO WAS BLASTING. I COULDN'T TURN IT DOWN. THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULDN'T COME ON. THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY PANEL WARNING OF "TEMPORARILY LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIMATE SYSTEM". WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPS WORKING, THE WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLL DOWN, THE TOUCH SCREEN DOES NOT WORK, AND THE RADIO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. LOCKS ON DOORS ARE ALSO FROZEN. SEATS WILL NOT ADJUST. WE ARE BASICALLY TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR WITH NO AIR. IT WAS 95 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THERE WAS NO AIR FLOW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. BOTH MY KIDS WERE WITH ME. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SYNC MY RIDE SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN ILLEGALLY HACKED AND CAUSED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO RESET THE SYNC MY RIDE FEATURE, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE HACKER OVERRODE THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD IN ORDER TO HACK INTO THE SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

2014 FORD FUSION SE, THE TRUNK WILL OPEN ITS' OWN, USUALLY WHEN I UNLOCK THE VEHICLE VIA THE INTEGRATED KEYPAD AND, OCCASIONALLY WHEN USING THE KEY FOB REMOTE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO POPPED THE TRUNK WHILE UNATTENDED, WHILE NO EFFORT TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK WAS BEING MADE, BY ANY MEANS. THIS MEANS THAT THE VEHICLE IS RENDERED UNSECURED, BY ITS' OWN DEFECT.

CAR REPEATEDLY OVER A PERIOD OF 18+ MONTHS EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT RESULTS IN WINDOWS, LOCKS, RADIO, FANS, DASH LIGHTS TO STOP WORKING. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THE FAILURES. I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER ON THE HIGHWAY UNABLE TO EVEN ROLL DOWN A WINDOW AND NO MOVING AIR DUE TO FANS BEING OUT. CAR HAS BEEN IN TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND KEPT THERE FOR WEEKS AT A TIME WITH NO RESOLUTION.

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS DIM AS YOU INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE GONE TO TWO DEALERSHIPS BOTH TELLING ME THEY ARE "FINE" "NOTHING WRONG". I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD CORP ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY DO NOTHING TO HELP REMEDY THE SITUATION. DRIVERS SIDE LIGHTING CLUSTER WILL NOT KEEP LIGHTS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS. I HAVEN'T HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHTBULBS MORE THAN ONCE IN COMPARISON. ON TOP OF THAT THE SYNC SYSTEM HAS HAD ISSUES FROM ABOUT MONTH THREE OF OWNERSHIP. THEY HAVE REPLACED PART OF THE COMPUTER BUT NOW HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. IT IS "NORMAL" FOR MY A/C AND HEAT TO TAKE CONTROL OF ITSELF AND CHANGE WITH ME HAVING NO WAY TO CONTROL IT. THE HEATED SEATS WILL TURN ON BY THEMSELVES, THE...

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE FROM WITHIN THE GARAGE, IT HESITATED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V875000 (AIR BAGS), BUT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE PARTS TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A SOLUTION TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET ESTABLISHED A RECALL NOR A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE O2 SENSOR HAS BURNT OUT, & HAS BEEN BURNT OUT FOR A WHILE. AFTER REFUELING AT ANY GAS STATION THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE KEY IS TURNED. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE ENGINE TO RECIEVE FUEL & TO TURN OVER, AND EVEN THEN IT STRUGGLES TO START UP OR KEEP RUNNING. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, ALTERNATING PRESSURE & TIME WITHOUT FINDING A RELIABLE METHOD. THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF IF I DO NOT KEEP THE MPH ABOVE 15MPH FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES, & IF I STOP FOR LONGER THAN 60SECONDS, IT SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED ISSUES IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED BETWEEN MY CAR SHUTTING OFF & COASTING, & CARS PASSING AT 25MPH OR GREATER. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE O2 SENSOR HAS ISSUES, BUT MY PERSONAL MECHANIC...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V736000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,426.

COMPLETE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE DUE TO PERSISTENT DRAIN ON BATTERY. AFTER JUMPSTART, CAR WAS OPERATIONAL; HOWEVER, THERE IS INTERMITTENT FAILURE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN USE FOR 24 HOURS. INTERMITTENT HARD FAULT WITH DTC P0887 IN SOBDMC (SECONDARY ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS MODEL C). BELOW ARE A SUBSET OF DTC CODES: DTC MODULE B10D7:87 BCM B1287:11 BCM P0887:00 SOBDM-C P1934:87 BCM P1A10:00 BCM U0140:00 PSCM U3001:00 BECM U3003:13 PSCM U3003:16 BECM U3003:16 BCM THERE IS LIMITED COVERAGE BY THE MANUFACTURE (POST 36K MILES) AND THE CONSUMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR. THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PLUG IN HYBRID CAR AND THE CURRENT SERVICE MODEL ARE INCONSISTENT. THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN MOST RECOGNIZE.

WHILE DRIVING I HAD TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND CAR SHUT OFF. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A TWO DAY SPAN. *TR

AT THE END OF JULY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE DISPLAY READ "TEMPORARILY LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIMATE SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING ON 45 MPH ROADS AND HAD JUST PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING WITH THE RADIO ON BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE VOLUME UP OR DOWN OR TURN THE RADIO OFF. THE A/C HAD SHUT OFF ALONG WITH THE FAN AND NONE OF THE BUTTONS WORKED. ALSO COULD NOT ROLL DOWN THE POWER WINDOWS FROM THE DIVERS SEAT, ALL THE BUTTONS AND SCREEN WERE FROZEN. TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE NEXT 24HRS BUT SYSTEM WOULD NOT RE-SET. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE SYSTEM RE-SET WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODES. CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. AND THEY...

MY 2014 FORD FUSION'S DOOR/WINDOW CONTROLS WILL STOP WORKING AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK EITHER. IT OCCURS SPORADICALLY. I DO LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE TEMPERATURES CAN GET EXCEEDINGLY HOT. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP (AS EARLY AS THE 2ND/3RD DAY OF OWNERSHIP) SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I PURCHASED A SPECIAL TOOL TO BREAK THE CAR WINDOW. THIS CAN CAUSE A DEATH. MY SON AND I WERE IN THIS PREDICAMENT WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WE STARTED TO SWEAT REALLY BAD AND GET RED. THANKFULLY I HAD WATER IN THE CAR. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES THE SYSTEM WOKE UP. I ROLLED THE WINDOWS DOWN AND PURCHASED THE WINDOW BREAKING TOOL. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

BATTERY WAS INITIALLY NOT TAKING A CHARGE, THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE MODULE AND REPLACED BOTH THE MODULE AND THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA WHICH THEY SAID WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. IN THIS CASE THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 1/2 WEEKS BEFORE RETURNING IT TO ME .. ABOUT 4 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT BACK THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING DURING A REVERESE POSITION IN A PARKING LOT AND DIED.. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN.. THE NEXT DAY IT LOST ALL ACCELERATION AT A LOWER SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ONCE AGAIN IT DIED BUT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN. IT DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES ONCE ON THE FREEWAY THE OTHER TIME DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOME. FORD HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS (SINCE 2/19/2016) NOW AND SAYS THERE IS NO CODES OR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM..

THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ON MY 2014 FORD FUSION BLACKED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN DECEMBER, 2015. THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE FORD DEALER WHERE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR. I PAID $99.95 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A GATEWAY MODULE THAT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $300, BUT THE $99.95 WOULD GO TOWARDS THAT COST. WHEN THE PART CAME IN AND INSTALLED, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD TOLD ME THAT THE GATEWAY MODULE MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WOULD BE $707 AND THE SHOP WOULD NEED MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS. I ALSO WOULD NEED TO BRING ALL MY KEYS FOR THE PROGRAMMING. THIS ALL SEEMS TO BE A STEEP PRICE...

I DRIVE A 2014 FORD FUSION SE WITH A 1.6L ECOBOOST AND A 6 SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,500 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. UPON REACHING A SPEED OF 35-40 MPH WHILE ACCELERATING (I SHIFT AT 2500 RPM'S) I HEARD TWO CHIMES SIMILAR TO THE CHIMES THE CAR MAKES WHEN I START IT. ONCE THE CHIMES FINISHED SOUNDING MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLACK EXCEPT FOR THE NEEDLES WHICH ALL CAME TO A REST INTO THE "OFF" POSITION". THEY STILL REMAINED LIT. I HAD NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS. MY CAR LOST POWER AT THE SAME TIME AND THE STEERING BECAME SLIGHTLY HARDER THAN NORMAL. THERE WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF THROTTLE RESPONSE AND THEN NO RESPONSE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO A SIDE STREET WHERE THE CAR COMPLETELY WENT DEAD BY THE TIME I CAME TO A STOP. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP MY BRAKE PEDAL...

OUR AC QUIT WORKING THE DAY AFTER RETURNING FROM A SMALL TRIP. WE TOOK IT IN UNDER WARRANTY AND FIND OUT THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN OFF AND IS MISSING FROM THE AC COMPRESSOR THE IS ON BACK ORDER AND WE ARE TOLD IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT IT IS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE FROM THE FRONT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED BEEPING. TOOK A MINUTE TO FIGURE OUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL WHICH WAS SET AT 72 WAS AUTOMATICALLY GOING DOWN TO 60 (IT BEEPS AS IS CHANGES SETTINGS). TRIED TO TURN IN BACK UP AND IT WENT DOWN, TURNED IT OFF AND IT CAME BACK ON. DID THIS ALL THE WAY HOME. IN MY DRIVEWAY, WITH CAR TURNED OFF, IT CONTINUED BEEPING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES BETWEEN APRIL 27TH AND AUGUST 30TH. SOME TIMES IT GOES UP TO 85 DEGREES AND SOMETIMES DOWN TO 60 AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT WHILE DRIVING. FORD HAS UPDATED COMPUTER TWICE AND REPLACED IT ONCE. WAITING FOR CALL BACK FROM FORD TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO CONTROLLING IT AND IT'S GOING TO EXTREME LOW AND HIGH TEMPERATURES, AS WELL AS THE CONTINUOUS BEEPING. EXTREMELY DISTRACTING. I HAVE YESTERDAY'S...

I LEASED MY SE FUSION OCT 2014 .. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY INSIDE ELECTRONIS WOULD FAIL. I WOULD LOSE RADIO, AIR, HEAT, SEAT POWER, WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, ONLY THINGS THAT WOULD WORK WERE ENGINE, HEADLIGHTS, AND WINDSHEILD WIPERS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO FORD AND THEY SAW THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE AND CALLED MANUFACTURER TO SEE HOW TO FIX. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME FORD HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND REPLACED WIRES AND FUSES AND WE FELT THIS TIME IS WAS FIXED AND WOULDN'T HAVE ANYMORE ISSUES. WELL TODAY MAY 22ND ON MY 25 MINUTE DRIVE INTO WORK IT HAPPENED AS I GOT ONTO HIGHWAY, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER RESET. BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET INTO WORK IT WENT OUT AGAIN THIS TIME TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO RESET AND IN THAT TIME WAS LATE TO WORK BECAUSE MY...

IN NEW 2014 FUSION WITH 1500 MILES, IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED THREE TIMES WITH A DEAD BATTERY. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE DOOR HANDLE TO ENTER THE CAR. YOU ALSO CANNOT MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED IN PARK. YOU CANNOT OPEN ANY DOOR EXCEPT THE DRIVERS DOOR AND YOU MUST TAKE APART THE CENTER CONSOLE TO DIS-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION LOCK. YOU CANNOT OPEN THE TRUNK. HAD PROBLEM TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH TWO NEW BATTERIES AND NO SOLUTION. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO MORE THAN A 10 MILLIAMP DRAW WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATING. OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THE "AUTOLAMP" SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ALL POWER AFTER TIME PERIOD FOLLOWING IGNITION SWITCH OFF IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING. *TR

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD ACCELERATION/ DECELERATION ISSUES SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2014, THE ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT AND HAPPEN AT VARIOUS RPM AND VARIOUS SPEEDS. IVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE THEY HAVE TOLD ME 3 TIMES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS....WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE ACCELERATOR WILL OCCASIONALLY STICK AND HOLD THAT HIGHER RPM FOR 5 OR 6 SECONDS BEFORE DECELERATING, THIS HAPPENS APPROX. 50% OF THE TIME WHILE SHIFTING. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY. MY RESPONSE IS... IF IT IS SUPPOSED TO PERFORM THIS WAY THEN WHY DOESN'T IT PERFORM THIS WAY ALL THE TIME RATHER THAN 50% OF THE TIME? THE SECOND ACCELERATION/ DECELERATION ISSUE IS....THE CAR WILL...

THIS VEHICLE HAS A PROXIMITY STARTING SYSTEM. NO INSERTION OF A KEY IS NEEDED TO START THE CAR. THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO RECOGNIZE THE ELECTRONIC KEY TO YOUR VEHICLE. AFTER SHOPPING I CAME OUT GOT INTO MY CAR AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON WITH MY KEY FOB IN MY POCKET. MY WIFE HAPPENED TO BE SITTING BESIDE ME IN THE CAR WITH A KEY FOB IN HER PURSE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND A MESSAGE SAYING "KEY NOT RECOGNIZED". I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TRY TO START THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT START. THE KEY FOBS WOULD HOWEVER LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR WHICH MEANT THE CAR WAS IN FACT RECOGNIZING THEM BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I CALLED MY SELLING DEALERSHIP FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO START THE CAR. THEY COULD OFFER NONE. THEY SAID ALL I COULD DO WOULD BE...

THIS 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS AT OR VERY NEARLY AT A COMPLETE STOP IN NEUTRAL GEAR. THE ENGINE STALLS MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN IT'S RAINING. THE ENGINE STALLS WERE APPROXIMATELY 20-25 TIMES OVER 4-5 MONTHS. THE IGNITION BUTTON, INTERMITTENTLY, DOESN'T START THE CAR THE FIRST TIME AND HAS TO BE PUSHED TWICE BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTS. THE FUEL LIGHT GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS UP BETWEEN 1/4 OR 1/8 OF A TANK, OTHERWISE IT LIGHTS UP WHEN THE LINE IS BASICALLY AT THE BOTTOM. INTERMITTENTLY THE SUNROOF DOESN'T OPEN OR CLOSE PROPERLY. SOMETIMES IT REMAINS OPEN WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, THE INTERIOR HEADLINER IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. IF YOU AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW THE SUNROOF IS ACTUALLY OPEN BECAUSE THE INTERIOR HEADLINER REMAINS CLOSED.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING.THIS SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WARN YOU THAT THE CAR IS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND YOU APPROACHES CAR OR IF HE PULLS IN FRONT OF YOU SLOWS DOWN QUICK TO GIVE YOU SUFFICIENT TIME TO STOP.ON MY CAR YOU HAVE TO BE 10 FEET FROM THE OTHER CAR OR AT TIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. TO PROVE THIS I HAVE RUN MANY TESTS. THE DEALER SAYS WHEN FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND A VEHICLE OR ONE STOPS QUICKLY IN FRONT OF YOU THE RED LIGHTS ARE NOT COMING ON THE AND ACTIVATING THE DRIVER ASSISTED BRAKING. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY TROUBLE AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS WORKING CORRECTLY. THE SAID ALSO THE FRONT CRASH SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING AND BEING TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE FRONT OF THEM. I BELIEVE FORD HAS ENGINEERED SYSTEM POORLY AND IT COULD BE A DANGER TO MANY FAMILIES...

2014 FORD FUSION TITANIUM LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER ON 03/03/2014 WHEN MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE. SHE SAID THAT SHE TRIED TO REMOVE THE CD DISC BUT IT WOULD NOT EJECT. I WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER AT ALL. I THEN OPEN THE HOOD AND REMOVED THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY AND REINSTALLED IT AFTER 1 MINUTE AND EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANYMORE INCIDENTS SINCE TODAY'S DATE OF 03/11/2014.

WHILE DRIVING, I ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE REAR RIGHT WINDOW. I FELT THE POWER GOING TO THE WINDOW, BUT THE WINDOW DID NOT LOWER. I ATTEMPTED TO LOWER WINDOW AGAIN, BUT THEN THERE WAS NO POWER FELT. FORTUNATELY THERE IS NO URGENT NEED TO LOWER THE WINDOW DURING THE FREEZING WEATHER WE ARE EXPERIENCING. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN (NOW WITH 2000 MILES DRIVEN) AS SOON AS I GET A CHANCE AND ITS WARMER OUT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, I TURNED MY WIPERS ON DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE WIPERS STOPPED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE NEXT MORNING WITH ONLY 1000 MILES. SERVICE ADVISER HAD THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR REPLACED (AFTER PUTTING ONLY 1000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE). AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE WIPERS SQUEAKED AWFUL DURING THE NEXT RAIN FALL. TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE WIPERS. UNLESS IT IS RAINING STEADILY, THE WIPERS SQUEAK IF IT IS JUST DRIZZLING. NOT AS BAD, BUT THEY CONTINUE. *TR
