2016 FORD FUSION Electrical System Problems

Soon after purchasing this vehicle the Bluetooth and phone links quit working. I researched and found an abundance of complaints regarding this issue. After contacting dealer and manufacturer I was basically told tough luck on this $1100.00 repair. In my opinion this is a safety issue since not being able to talk hands free can increase driver distraction. Furthermore; several states have enacted laws against hand held phone calls. Since this is an advertised feature, Ford should step up and correct this issue!

Recall notice 22S43 / NHTSA Recall 22 V413 Car rolls when in park with brake on. Now my car won’t start at all. I don’t know if they are related. I need to know because I can’t waste any money if I don’t have to.

Recall on the shift cable caused my vehicle to completely stop working/ moving while I was out with my son. No notification was ever giving to me in regards to this problem. This has caused so many issues, specially not given a rental car to be able to to move around. My vehicle is not drivable all because of a recall from Ford company. Ford refuses to provide a rental or any assistance. Being a single mother, Making it hard for me to go to work or even see my kids.

Three of four door locks have malfunctioned. As well as electric driver side seat. We have fixed two at our expense, they are obviously defective. Unable to lock doors, a person could fall out. Dealer has confirmed issue and has attempted to get Ford to take responsibility. Has not been confirmed by police, etc No warning lights. Similar vehicles have had same issue and have been recalled. I don’t think we should have to pay for this expense when there is a known issue. We are requesting that this lock gets repaired and we are reimbursed for other two locks to be reimbursed. Thank you for your time. Vickie

“Temporarily Lost communication with the Climate System” when this appears on the dash, AC won’t turn on, windows won’t roll up or down, defrost doesn’t work, nothing on the dash works except hazard lights, doors won’t lock, can’t adjust mirrors. Happens very sporadically, coincidentally when it starts to get hot (80° and above)

Car lost power and just cut off right on Railroad Tracks, managed to get it restarted, called dealership in my area, took it in. They stated their computer wasn't finding anything. After a heated discussion, I finally got the head mechanic to drive it and it did the same thing to him. He said new fuel pump, so it costs me $810.00, labor included, which I thought was rape. Just a ridiculous charge, but hey I'm at the mercy of them!!! Three (3) weeks later same thing happening, just cuts off, leaving me on highway at night. Took it back, they put another fuel pump on, no charge. Week and half later, Key Fob doesn't unlock doors, even after putting a new battery in. Tire Pressure FAULT came on and car continued to cut off, again leaving me in a very dangerous situation, but I GOT LUCKY. I took it...

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the defroster, HVAC system, and front and rear passenger's side windows and doors were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer replaced the main control; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 99,800.

I’m not certain how or when but the hood sensor must be wrong because it always says the hood is open no matter how I close it

Trunk/deck lid pops open at random times. Weather conditions and time of day do not appear to be a factor as to why or when the trunk pops open. When it does happen the release mechanism clicks continuously for ~10 seconds or until you click the lock button on the fob. It will pop open when you begin to drive, up to the point that the car auto locks. This started happening approximately one year ago, September 2020, and lasted for a few weeks and then stopped. It started popping open again in the spring of 2021 and lasted for a few weeks. It has started popping open again in the beginning of September 2021.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power to the radio, windows, and power steering. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who checked the wiring harness and was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Vehicle is a Plug In Hybrid, it was left in the garage (first floor of the house) overnight charging the EV battery. Sometime in the night, plugged in, no key in the ignition, the engine started and ran until it ran out of gas (in the garage with the door closed and my son sleeping on the 2nd floor over the garage). We were lucky no one died of carbon monoxide poising. In the morning the 12v engine battery was dead, smelled like it may burned up, my guess is the battery dying confused the computer. The vehicle is out of warranty, taking it to the dealer will cost me $1,000. I'm guessing that replacing the 12V battery will fix it (which is a lot cheaper). I don't plan on ever putting it back in the garage but someone needs to warn everyone else that has one of these!

Backup Camera hasn’t worked since the day I bought it and it had only 35,000 miles when I bought it.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, he was unable to link his phone to the vehicle’s computer module without warning. While researching the issue, the contact discovered a manufacturer’s recall for similar vehicles regarding the failure. The dealer was contacted about the failure and was informed that they were unable to assist him. The contact was referred to the manufacturer. Once the manufacturer was notified of the issue, the contact was informed that there would be no assistance because the Vin was not included in the recall. The contact was given a case number and was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

We purchased a used 2016 Ford Fusion with about 11,000 miles on it. Within the first 2 weeks we started having issues. These issues have been going on for several years with no fix from Ford. The issues involve the dash not working, no heat, AC, no power steering, no break lights, no headlights, no turn signals. We go to start the car and the main screen never turns on. Basically we have the ability to use the gas and brake and nothing else. We’ve had the car back to the dealership multiple times. Each time they’ve hooked the computer up to the car they’ve said it throws so many codes they don’t know where to start. They wipe the codes, give us the car back and say if it does it agin bring it back. Well we did just that and the usual process repeated. They told us today...

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the electrical system malfunctioned causing the instrument panel to become inoperable. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the dealer was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle as well. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 125000 MILES, THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WAS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY RESTARTING AFTER REFUELING. LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE CODE READER DISPLAYED ETC P1450. ONLINE RESEARCH POINTED TO A FAULTY CANNISTER PURGE VALVE. THIS FAULT AND ACCOMPANYING SYMPTOMS WERE OUTLINED IN RECALL # 18S32. THIS RECALL IS NOT CURRENTLY APPLICABLE TO MY VIN. DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY SANDERS FORD IN SWANSBORO, NC CONFIRMED FAULTY PURGE VALVE.

MY CAR STEERING WHEEL IS VERY TIGHT AND I'M WONDERING WHAT COULD IT BE IF I FIXED EVERYTHING

RECENTLY, BOTH OF THE FRONT HEATED AND COOLED SEATS ON MY FORD FUSION STOPPED WORKING. I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE BURNT CONNECTOR IS DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE SCME MODULE AND THAT BOTH THE CONNECTOR AND SCME WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $596.11. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THE MODULE IS FAILED, AND THAT REGARDLESS, A MODULE FAILURE SHOULD NEVER RESULT IN A CONNECTOR BURNING AS ALL THIS CIRCUITRY SHOULD BE FUSE PROTECTED AGAINST OVERCURRENT WITHOUT BURNING. I TOLD THEM THAT I BELIEVED THE MODULE APPEARS TO BE FAILED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM BECAUSE THE GROUND TO THE MODULE HAS MELTED AND HAS THUS BECOME DISCONNECTED. I COMPLETED SOME INVESTIGATION AND THE FAILURE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING TO THE SCME...

WHENEVER I UNLOCK MY VEHICLE THE TRUNK OPENS. SOMETIMES IT OPENS WHILE DRIVING.

THE ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE (APIM) FAILS AFTER A FEW YEARS, LEAVING THE CAR PHONE INOPERABLE ON THE SYNC SYSTEM, FORCING THE USER TO MANUALLY DIAL AND PLACE CALLS ON THEIR CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING, WHICH HAS BECOME ILLEGAL IN MANY STATES AS IT TAKES THE DRIVERS EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR PERIODS AT A TIME. THE FORD FUSION ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH LEAKAGE IN THE TRUNK. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE, UNTIL SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT VARIOUS FUSION OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IT MAY START TO AFFECT THE LIGHTS IN THE TRUNK OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT RUN THROUGH IT, START TO RUST AREAS IN THE TRUNK, AND CAUSE MOLD IF NOT PROPERLY DRIED IMMEDIATELY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY STRAIGHT WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AND SUDDENLY IT FELT LIKE I HIT A HUGE POTHOLE, BUT I DIDNT. SHORTLY AFTER 4 DASH LIGHTS CAME ON WHICH ARE THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. STEERING IS HARDER AND BRAKES DO NOT WORK SOMETIMES. THE CODE, WHEN HOOKED UP COMES BACK AS ABS MODULE SYSTEM. ALSO AFTER THIS INCIDENT THE BLUETOOTH IN THE CAR DISCONNECTS RANDOMLY ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS. I HAVE TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY TO REST IT TO BE ABLE TO USE THE BLUETOOTH FUNCTION AGAIN.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON (SEE MANUAL), THEN ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE FLUID TEMP, NO DIRECTIONALS, NO HEAT OR DIRECTIONALS, NO DASH LIGHTS, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, AND HILL ASSIST LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND OFF. I WAS DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE THIS IS A NEW TO ME CAR I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FORDS INCLUDING AN EXCURSION AND MORE RECENTLY AN 07 FOCUS THAT DIED AT 300,000. I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEM ALBEIT THEY WERE BOTH NEW. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT REALLY HAS ME THINKING ABOUT NEVER BUYING A FORD AGAIN.

WHILE IN MOTION THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION ON/OFF, AND HILL ASSIST IS NOT AVAILABLE IS LIT UP. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER IS SPORADIC. HAVEN'T HAD ANY WORK DONE RECENTLY SO THAT ISN'T THE CAUSE.

STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND NO POWER STEERING. I THINK IT'S DUE TO RECALLS ON FORD FUSIONS. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ONE BUT I THINK IT SHOULD. THE RECALL IS THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. MY CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD I SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT WHAT IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY.

I HAVE A NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW BATTERY, BUT THE PCM UNIT FOR THE FUSES IS BAD.

CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT AND BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT WARNINGS INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CLIMATE CONTROL, ENTERTAINMENT CONTROL SHUTS OFF. ALL WINDOWS OTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S WINDOW CANNOT BE OPERATED FROM THE DRIVER'S CONTROL. OTHER CONTROLS ON THE TOUCHSCREEN BECOME INOPERABLE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON AND SWIPE ONCE OR TWICE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO MOISTURE AND LOW HUMIDITY. THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION WHILE DRIVING TWO TO 20 MINUTES LATER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A MODULE OR SYSTEM THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND WHILE IT HASN'T BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE YET, I WORRY THAT AT SOME POINT I MAY BE DRIVING AND THE ERRORS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING OR BRAKING OR ENGINE TO TURN OFF OR ACCELERATE OR LIGHTS MAY TURN OFF AT NIGHT WHICH WOULD HAVE A POTENTIAL TO INJURE OR CAUSE A FATAL...

THERE WAS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING TAKING PLACE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE CAR WOULD JUST STALL AND LIKE LOCK UP EVERYTHING IN IT AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FLASHING ON AND ON INSIDE ON AND OFF

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS I WAS GOING UP HILL AND IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD TO MERGE ALL THE WAY TO THE SHOULDER AND COAST DOWN THE HILL 2 MILES TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION BEFORE PULLING OVER AND GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. THANKFULLY A POLICE OFFICE WAS ABLE TO ESCORT ME OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WOULD STALL AFTER PUMPING GAS WOULD OVERHEAT WHEN IDLING. FANS WERE NOT TURNING ON CANISTER PURGE VALVE STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE FUEL TANK AND OXYGEN SENSOR TO FAIL.. RUNS ROUGH.

WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO EITHER SIDE, MULTIPLE ALARM SOUNDS GO OFF IN THE VEHICLE INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF REVERSE SENSORS, LOSS OF HILL ASSIST AND LOSS OF STABILITY CONTROL. THIS OCCURS ANYTIME THE WHEEL IS FULLY TURNED, EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. THIS OCCURRED 2 YEARS AGO IN THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, AFTER NOT FINDING ANY OTHER ISSUE. NOW IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN, SAME SYMPTOMS, SAME CAUSE. A VIDEO CAN EASILY BE SENT IF REQUESTED.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR STARTING DRIVING STRANGE, VERY ROUGH. THEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY GRAYED OUT AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON MY DASH 'TEMPORARILY LOST COMMUNICATION WITH CLIMATE SYSTEM' WHILE THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS UP, THE WINDOWS WON'T GO DOWN OR UP, A/C OR HEAT WON'T TURN ON, DASH DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, DOORS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. VERY UNSAFE!

MY CAR WAS SERVICED BY KOONS FORD IN BALT, MD FROM MAY 26TH-28TH TO ADDRESS A RECALL THAT REQUIRED REMOVAL OF MY ENGINE. AFTER THE REPAIR, MY CAR SAT IN MY PARKING SPACE AT HOME THE WHOLE WEEKEND DUE TO COVID-19. ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, JUNE 1ST, MY CAR ENGINE EXPLODED ON I83 WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS USING MY CAR TO GO TO WORK. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FIRE AND TOTALED. FORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE CABIN STARTED TO FILL WITH SMOKE AND JUMP OUT. KOONS FORD TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD "SHRINK WRAP" MY CAR AT THE LOT THE POLICE HAD IT TOWED TO AND BRING IT BACK TO "INVESTIGATE HOW THE FIRE STARTED." THEY LIED AND THEN TOLD MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE FIRE. IN ADDITION, WHILE I WAS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING UNIT BECAME INOPERABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE WINDOW SWITCH LOCKED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INDEPENDENTLY REMEDIED AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN IDLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBINSON BROTHERS FORD (11455 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70816, (225) 293-8900) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ELECTRONIC WARNING THAT THE POWER STEERING IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERTY, EPA LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF, AND STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR PARK AID. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES AND IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING BOTH LOCALLY AND HIGHWAY MILES. TYPICALLY WILL OCCUR AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES, PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY PUTTING VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND ROTATING WHEEL ALL THE WAY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND THEN RESTARTING VEHICLE. PROBLEMS IS RECURRING THOUGH AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. PROBLEM CAUSES STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND LEADS TO ISSUES MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO MAKE ANY TURNS. I AM BRINGING MY CAR INTO BE SERVICED TOMORROW AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, WILL HAVE FURTHER DOCUMENTATION AFTER THAT. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND WITHIN 9 MONTHS THE MOTHERBOARD CRASHED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THAT, THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT (VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND AT COMPLETE STOP), BLUETOOTH DOES NOT CONNECT AT TIMES, RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF, AC/HEAT TURN ON AND OFF AND THE DISPLAY BLINKS. THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FLOORBOARD WHERE THE MOTHERBOARD WAS REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE SYSTEM. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR LUG NUTS IN 2019 AND ALL WERE REPLACED. WHEN ASKED IF THEY COULD BE REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE, WAS TOLD NO, THEY WOULD BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME ONES - THAT WERE RECALLED. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT, THOSE LUG NUTS HAVE SWELLED AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REMOVAL. 3 WERE UNABLE TO REMOVED...

WHEN I WENT OUT TO MY PARKED CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING, ALL OF MY WINDOWS WERE DOWN. AT FIRST, I HAD THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE HAD BROKEN INTO MY CAR, AND I LOOKED FOR BROKEN GLASS, SIGNS OF FORCED ENTRY, AND MY BELONGINGS TO BE STREWN ALL OVER MY CAR. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NONE OF THE ABOVE. MY CAR WAS JUST AS IT HAD BEEN WHEN I LEFT IT AROUND 7:00 PM THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND NOTHING HAD EVEN BEEN MISPLACED FROM WHERE I HAD LEFT IT. I WAS COMPLETELY FLUMMOXED, UNTIL I DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR 2016 FORD FUSION ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AND SAW THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT REPORTED VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY PARTICULAR MODEL THAT RESULTED IN THEIR CAR'S WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN WITHOUT CAUSE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, THANKFULLY, BUT I CAN'T RISK THIS HAPPENING AGAIN,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING CEASED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HENNESSY FORD LINCOLN ATLANTA LOCATED AT 5675 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, ATLANTA, GA 30341, (470) 602-2073, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PARKING SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V167000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

VEHICLE APIM FAILED. THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE HANDSFREE OPTION FOR CELL PHONE USE, STEERING WHELL CONTTOLS, AND CELL BLUE TOOTH OPTION.

ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO WENT OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON.

DASH CODE APPEARED READING UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH CLIMATE CONTROL IN TURN RENDERING ALL TOUCH SCREEN APPLICATIONS AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ANY AND ALL OF THE VEHICLES RIGHT SIDE TO FUNCTION. ( WINDOWS, DOORS, LOCKS, ETC.) THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY

MY CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER WITHOUT NOTICE WHEN I'M AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A COMMENT COMES ON THE DASH THAT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE " TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT WORDS BECAUSE WHENEVER IT DOES IT I'M LOOKING TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE SO I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR LOSE ALL POWER GOING 70 MPH. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 5 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES WHEN IT'S HAPPENED BUT THE LAST TIME IT DID I WAS TRAVELING IN KANSAS CITY AND...

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING, MY AC KICKS ON WITH NO WARNING AND I LOOSE ALL POWER TO MY CAR. IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS TIME. NO RESOLUTION CAN BE FOUND FOR THE PROBLEM. MY CAR SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN AND THE ONLY WARNING I GET IS KNOWING WHEN MY RADIO CUTS OUT AND MY AC KICKS ON, GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE BECAUSE MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN.75 MPH ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THERE WERE A ISSUE THAT THE TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTIONAL WEREN'T WORKING. NOTHING WOULD COME TO THE HUD IN THE VEHICLE NO BLINKERS NEITHER SOUND. I ASSUMED IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, ALSO THE CONTROLS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK ASWELL. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD FOUND NOTHING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT, DUE TO A SCARE OF THE STEERING WHEEL NOT FUNCTIONING AGAIN AND WHILE DRIVING AROUND THE BLINKER WON'T ACTIVATE WHEN ITS SUPPOSE TOO.

MY FORD FUSION 2016 IS HAVING A BAD ISSUE AND IT IS A DANGEROUS ONE. SO I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AND SIBLINGS, WE HAD STOPPED BY THE SUPERMARKET TO GET SOME FOOD. AND WHEN I FINISHED PARKING MY VEHICLE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HAS OPENED EXCEPT FOR THE TWO REAR DOORS MY SIBLINGS COULDNT GET OUT THE CAR IF THE HANDLE IS PULLED OUTSIDE OF THE REAR DOOR. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS THING BECAUSE IMAGINE IF IN A CAR CRASH AND SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE REAR SIT HOW ARE THEY GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR!?. THIS NEED A FIX.

ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE, WOULD NOT START. REMOVED TRIM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A WIRING ISSUE FROM THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX (BJB) TO THE STARTER. FOUND WIRING AND CONNECTOR CORRODED. TECHNICIAN HAD TO CLEAN CONNECTOR, REPAIR/REPLACE WIRE, APPLY DI-ELECTRIC GREASE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT TIME ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED.

2016 FORD FUSION MAKING LOUD RATTLING NOISE FROM ENGINE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON, BUT FORD SAYING ENGINE IS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. CONNECTING ROD IN PISTON BROKE LOOSE. HOW DOES NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER COME ON? THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME ON THE HIGHWAY. HOW DOES A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 128,000 (MOSTLY HIGHWAY) MILES GO INTO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE? CAR HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED.

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES DOWN. THE DASH GOES DARK, THE A/C DOES NOT WORK, THE TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WILL NOT WORK AND I CANNOT EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR. IT DOES NOT HELP TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR, EVERYTHING WILL START WORKING EVENTUALLY ON ITS OWN. I CAN STEER AND BRAKE, BUT THAT IS ALL. THIS LAST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS FRIGHTENED THAT I WOULD BE HIT BEFORE I COULD GET ON THE SHOULDER. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, AS USUAL, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT FORD FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THEY DENIED MY REQUEST, SAYING I WAS OUTSIDE THE TIME PERIOD FOR FILING. THE CASE NUMBER IS FMA CAS-22012807. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT RACEWAY FORD IN HARTSVILLE,...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE LOST POWER. MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I COULD NOT EVEN GO THE SPEED LIMIT. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD WAS CHANGING THESE OUT THROUGH THEIR OWN RECALL BUT THAT ENDED YEARS AGO. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY POPULAR OVER THE FORD MODELS AND COULD WIND UP KILLING SOMEBODY WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND I FEEL THE NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP IN AND MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS AND IT IS ALL ACROSS ALL THEIR MAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION. AFTER LEAVING THE OFFICE AND WALKING TO THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD MUSIC PLAYING IN THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE KEYS WERE ON HER PERSON AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL LOCKED. ADDITIONALLY, ON OCCASION, THE AIR CONDITIONER, LIGHTING, AND RADIO WOULD ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE IGNITION IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE DOORS LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS FORD OF BALTIMORE (LOCATED AT 6970 SECURITY BLVD, WINDSOR MILL, MD 21244, (410) 298-3800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SEVERE BATTERY DRAINAGE. ALSO, THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY AND WATER PUMP WERE REPLACED, AND THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS UPDATED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,084. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS PARKING BACKING UP WHEN THE HORN WENT ON THE FIRST TIME. I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE TOUCHED THE HORN SIGN ACCIDENTALLY. DRIVING AWAY FROM WORK THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME DAY, HORN WENT ON BLARING LOUD AGAIN BUT THIS TIME HANDS WAS WELL POSITIONED ON THE WHEEL. WHEN MAKING TURN LEFT OR RIGHT HORN WOULD SOUND OUT LOUD AGAIN. WHEN CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH HORN WOULD SOUND ON AND OFF. IT HAPPENED ALSO WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN THE TRAFFIC BLARING SO LOUD ON AND OFF TO CAUSE FEAR AND ANXIETY. THE HORN WOULD GO ON AND OFF EVEN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY CAUSING NUISANCE IN COMMUNITY. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE SERVICES DEPARTMENT AFTER HEARING THE HORN LOUD BLARING(SD) DECIDED TO DISABLE IT UNTIL THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC...
