WE PURCHASED OUR 2014 FORD FUSION FROM LECKNER FORD OF KING GEORGE VA ON JUNE 20, 2017. VEHICLE DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS:VIN: [XXX], MANUFACTURE DATE: 12/13/13, MANUFACTURE LOCATION: FLAT ROCK, AZ, MILEAGE: 25,300 THE HEADLINER IS SAGGING ON THE VEHICLE PARTIALLY BLOCKING THE REAR WINDOW AND HANGING DOWN ON THE DRIVER?S SIDE FRONT DOOR. ONLINE RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS INDEED AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION TO CORRECT THE PARTS FAILURE TO DATE. NOW AWARE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS OF THE SAGGING HEADLINER ISSUE WITH THE 2014-2015 FORD FUSION, I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO OPEN A FORD CUSTOMER CARE CASE. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT LECKNER FORD FELT THAT OPENING A CUSTOMER CARE CASE, HAVING LOYALTY POINTS AS A REPEAT CUSTOMER AND THE VEHICLE JUST BEING OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COULD ALL CONTRIBUTE TO A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME WITH FORD.

HEADLINER IS FALLING DOWN AND BLOCKING DRIVER'S VIEW OUT THE REAR WINDOW. CAR HAD 3 ATTEMPTS AT A REPAIR, INCLUDING A "ROBUST" REPAIR BY FORD ENGINEERS, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT FORD IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE HEADLINER AS PROMISED, DUE TO UNAVAILABLE PART AND THE FACT THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER FORD FUSION VEHICLES. *TR

FROM DATE OF PURCHASE TO 9/24/14 I NOTICED CLOUDY BLOTCHES AND STREAKS VARYING IN NUMBER AND SIZE ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION LOOKING AND TYPE OF DAY ON THE REAR WINDOW. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE WINDOW JUST HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED WELL. LOOKING THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR THESE AREAS AFFECT THE DRIVERS VISUAL FIELD BY DISTORTING AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER VIEW. THE FORD MECHANIC VERIFIED SEEING THIS & NOTIFIED FORD DEALER HOT LINE WHO ALSO VERIFIED THIS ISSUE WAS PRESENT. ALSO THAT THIS ISSUE OCCURS DURING THE TEMPERING PROCESS OF THE GLASS & THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IS PRESENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE WHICH AFFECTS VISUAL FIELD OF DRIVERS & BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET USE TO IT BECAUSE THE BLOTCHES & STREAKS CHANGE CONTINUALLY ACCORDING TO TYPE OF DAY FROM SUNNY TO CLOUDY OR DIRECTION DRIVING...

INTERIOR HAS EXTREMELY STRONG MOLD/MILDEW SMELL. PRIOR MODEL YEAR HAD A TSB POSTED FOR FAULTY AC DUCT WORK/MATERIALS. *TR

THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR HAS A TOXIC SMELL FROM THE CARPET CAUSING OCCUPANTS TO HAVE MIGRAINE. THE DEALERSHIP STEAMED THE CARPET AND IT IS SAME IF NOT WORSE, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT IS SAFE FOR LONG TRIPS ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER WHEN OPENING THE WINDOWS IS FOOLISH. PLEASE ADVISE ON POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THE CAN DO TO RID THE CAR OF THE SMELL. *TR
