The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that coolant had been leaking into the engine and had caused the engine to fail. The engine short block was replaced; however, the contact stated upon starting the vehicle three months later, she heard abnormal knocking sounds coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to a local Pep Boys where the engine oil was replaced; however, the failure persisted.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 35,454.

I SAW AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN ALL OF A SUDDEN (LIKE COMMUNICATION ERROR) AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, ALL LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND SEAT STARTED MOVING BACK.

Smoke coming from engine and exhaust pipe Overheating Coolant consumption issues Engine misfire and damage Total engine failure Safety was put at risk, the engine could have failed on a major highway.

I HAVE 2019 FORD FUSION WITH ONLY 6400 MILES. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED TO COVER AIRBAG MODULE REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. AIRBAG MODULE WAS BAD AND DEALERSHIP DENIED TO COVER BECAUSE I HAD SMALL DENT DAMAGED ON THE QUARTER PANEL WHEN I BOUGHT IT. CAR DRIVES FINE BUT HAS AIRBAG LIGHT ON DUE TO BAD MODULE FROM THE MANUFACTURE.

3/16/2021

While I drive my steering got stuck and stiffed. Hard to turn the wheels. Luckily when I entered my neighborhood stop the vehicle. Then I got the message from Ford Pass app saying *Electronic power steering control module fault and *collision warning system lost radar signal. If the steering stuck happened in highways while drive possibly life threatening issue

WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET, PRESSING THE + BUTTON AND HOLDING FOR A FEW SECONDS TO INCREASE THE SPEED A FEW MILE PER HOUR WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING UNTIL THE 'CANCEL' BUTTON OR THE 'OFF' BUTTON IS PRESSED. PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL ALSO STOP THE RUN AWAY ACCELERATION. DURING THE RUN-AWAY ACCELERATING, PRESSING THE + BUTTON OR THE - BUTTON WILL NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. ADDITIONALLY, WITH CRUISE SET, PRESSING THE - BUTTON FOR A FEW SECONDS WILL CAUSE A RUN-AWAY DECELERATION. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY BEING LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT. IN THE MEAN TIME, I WAS GIVEN A 2019 FUSION HYBRID AS A LOANER VEHICLE AND THAT CRUISE CONTROL DOES THE SAME THING: RUN-AWAY ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION WHEN PRESSING THE + OR - BUTTON. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED MANY TIMES AND WAS CRUISING ANYWHERE FROM 50 MPH TO 70 MPH WHEN THE + AND - BUTTON WAS PRESSED. I NOTICED THAT THE RUN-AWAY DECELERATION WAS QUITE PRONOUNCED COMPARED TO THE ACCELERATION.

6/24/2019

SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID# 11290551, I TOO EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE OVER THE SET SPEED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS IN BOTH MEDIUM (35-45MPH) AND HIGHWAY (50-65MPH) SPEEDS. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, CURRENTLY UNDER 15K MILES. PERIODIC VISUAL INSPECTIONS BY OWNER, ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY DEALERSHIP AS PER OWNER'S MANUAL. WHILE I NEVER LET THE CAR TAKE OVER THE DRIVER, IT CONCERNS ME IF THIS HAPPENS WITH MY WIFE DRIVING IT AS SHE MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME THINKING THAT I DO. ASIDE OF THAT, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE IS INCONSISTENT IN DETECTING VEHICLES WHILE SWITCHING LANES OR IN FLAT SURFACED CURVES, REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER (HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING CLEAR DAYS AND UNDER MODERATE RAIN). THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE SO IT RETURNS TO THE SET SPEED. WHILE THE FEATURE WORKS OK MOST OF THE TIME, THOSE INCONSISTENCIES CAN CAUSE SEVERE PROBLEMS ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS - WHICH IS THE PLACE THEY ARE MOST USED AT. ONCE AGAIN, WHILE I FEEL I AM ALWAYS IN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, I GET CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE. SHE DOES NOT DO HIGHWAYS OR DRIVES LONGER THAN A 10 MILES RADIUS TO A FEW KNOWN LOCATIONS BY HERSELF. BY THE FEW TIMES I EXPERIENCED THE REPORTED, I'VE CONSIDERED IF THE VEHICLE WITH THE CLAIMED ADDED SAFETY FEATURES WERE WORTH THE PURCHASE AND ARE TRULY READY FOR WIDE ADOPTION.

1/18/2023

My car in February of 202: got stuck in park they said it was electrical issue, then months later I ended up with a coolant leak that then combusted my engine. New engine in August of 2023 fast forward to November 2023 my car is doing the same thing it stalled in the road with myself and newborn in the car, lost all speed and now it will not go in drive or reverse just like it did in February of 2023. It’s been in the shop twice and now ongoing it’s third time and I find this to be a severe issue because if my car is going to keep stalling while driving there is no reason to keep fixing this car. I’m aware past fusion’s have been recalled for something of similar problems so it makes me wonder if this should be recalled as well.

The flywheel apparently broke and messed up the crankshaft as well as the front pump in the transmission. Which in turn caused the transmission to slip out of gear and kill while being operated on a busy interstate requiring a tow home and then to ford service for diagnostics. With repairs totaling in excess of $8000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2019 FORD FUSION ARE HORRENDOUS! THERE IS VERY LITTLE VISIBILITY, I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO TURN ON MY BRIGHTS TO EVEN SEE SOME ASPECTS OF THE ROAD I'M ON.

For the third time in two years my trunk opened while I was driving. Today, it opened while I had lumber in the trunk. Had I been on the freeway this could have caused a serious accident. I confirmed that the button on the dash was not being pushed and the emergency release in the trunk was not pulled either. This seems to be a somewhat common issue with Ford Fusions based on online commentary. Please look into this before it leads to serious injuries or worse. Thank you for your help.

7/25/2023

My 2019 Ford fusion while driving, the trunk opens by itself. It blocks the rear view of the vehicle. I had to pull over and close it several times while driving for this. I had to put a bungee cord around the trunk to keep it from opening. The trunk opening by itself is a safety hazard and the contents of what is in the trunk it exposed. I already spent over $210 in repairs with the dealer estimating the cost would be over $1100 including the wire harness from the body control module and including the body control module if the harness does not fix this.

Like the battery is completely dead won't take or hold charge.

12/2/2023

My situation started with pulling the car out of the garage one morning going to work. Shaking was experienced, after a couple of times with that happening, one morning heading out for work the light came on the dashboard, I immediately setup an appointment with AAA, who once started working on the car felt they had resolved the issue, however the same day I drove off the premises for AAA the light came back on, I ended up taking the car back to them four times before they stated they could not resolve the problem and suggested I take it to Ford, which I did. Once there I was informed by the advisor the car was in recall and they would provide me with a loaner until repairs were done. I drove the loaner for two weeks only to be called by the advisor and informed that my car would not qualify for repairs and he needed the loaner back right away because he was possibly in trouble. I had a conversation about why, what etc but no good news. I returned the loaner and took my car home where it has been because I don’t have $7000.00 for a new motor.

Driving on highway in a thunderstorm; windshield wipers were on full out max. They did not go fast enough to clear the water from the windshield so I could see the road. After this incident, I went to Ford and told them about it. They inspected it and said the wipers worked as designed. When I told them that was inefficient and unacceptable and a safety hazard for a downpour, they told me to "pull over" if I get caught in a storm. That is unacceptable. It is not always safe to pull over. I should be able to see for at least a half second to tell if I am driving within my lane. I had to drive on the bumper of a truck to follow their lights. I had the 2018 Ford Fusion and the windshield wipers worked properly.
