The rear backup camera system on my 2016 Ford Fusion S has failed and no longer displays an image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The screen remains completely black and does not activate. The backup camera previously worked normally before this failure. The issue appears to be related to the backup camera or associated electrical/display system, and the component should be available for inspection upon request. This malfunction creates a safety risk because the backup camera is necessary to see obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles behind the car. Without a functioning backup camera, rear visibility is significantly reduced, increasing the risk of a collision, especially in parking lots and residential areas. The problem occurs every time the vehicle is placed in reverse. The issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent repair facility. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance...

Windshield wiper motor works and there’s windshield wiper fluid and wind water tank but when you pull the windshield wiper flu lever to disperse clean your windshield nothing comes out taking it to mechanic. He can’t find anything wrong with it fluid go somewhere when you pull the lever except for on the windshield. Don’t know where it goes because you can empty the fluid tank out and not see anything on the ground or on the car

The backup camera has been cutting out recently. Just yesterday, the backup camera is displaying an image that is reversed (object on the sidewalk side (right side) of the vehicle, show up on the street side (left side) of the screen). I can no longer use the backup camera, as it is designed. The dealer has a one-month backlog on appointments, but I am taking it to a non-dealership mechanic on Monday. You will notice in the picture attached, the black car shows up on the left side of the screen, and it's actually on the right side of the car.

My back-up camera only half works. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. My car also doesn’t alert me to when I’m getting too close to another vehicle when I backing into a parking spot. Also, the Bluetooth in my car has not worked or even connect to my phone since I first bought that car, and for this car to not even be 10 years old yet, this is ridiculous. Everyone I know has been having very similar issues. Y’all need to get it together. Is there anyway this issue can be looked into as well please? It’s be really nice to get to use all of my features I pay for. Love the car, hate this electrical bs. 🙄

“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)

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,...

THE WIPERS WILL STOP INDIVIDUALLY AND RANDOMLY WHEN IN USE. IT SEEMS TO BE MORE OF AN ISSUE DURING LIGHT RAIN BUT HAS HAPPENED DURING HEAVY RAIN ON OCCASION AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN TO MY DEALER FOR THIS AND THEY SAID I NEEDED NEW WIPER BLADES. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTEE AT THAT TIME. IT HAS REOCCURRED AND I WILL VISIT MY DEALER AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON FUSION AND OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DATE I USED IS THE DATE OF LAST OCCURRENCE NOT THE DATE OF FIRST OCCURRENCE. SINCE THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR SHE THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY FOR THE WIPERS TO HANG ONCE IN A WHILE. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS AS A SAFE FEATURE!

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE WAY TO SLOW WHEN DRIVING IN A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF RAIN. I HAVE TRIED TURNING THEM INTO THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY. IT IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE RODE AND STOP TO WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. IT IS VERY HAZARDOUS AND I REALLY WISH THIS ISSUE CAN BE FIXED. IT FEELS VERY HAZARDOUS

WINDSHIELD WASHER SQUIRTERS ARE AIMED TOO LOW. AT SPEED, ESPECIALLY HIGHWAY SPEED, THE FLUID IS BLOCKED BY THE WIPER BLADES. THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD GETS VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, FLUID. DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY!! I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD AND MY DEALER. FORD CLAIMS THE SQUIRTERS THEMSELVES ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE AND THAT THEY OPERATE AS DESIGNED. HAVING TRIED OTHER FUSIONS LIKE MINE, THEY ARE ALL OPERATING THIS WAY. IT IS DANGEROUS. MY PHOTOS ARE OF THE CAR STATIONARY, IN MY GARAGE. THE PHOTO WITH THE RED LINE SHOWS THE POINT AT WHICH THE SQUIRTERS HIT. THE OVERSPRAY ABOVE THEM DOES NOT HAPPEN AT SPEED!
