3 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2017

"takata recall" snd I was driving vehicle when turn signals on both front right and left side stopped working. Right front turn signal just stayed on , so I had to disconnect it otherwise it would have drained the battery. I replaced both bulbs with new ones, still did not work. I get a message saying check right front and left front turn signals. I have found out that this has happened to a lot of 2006 Ford Fusions, it is a safety issue when cars front signal indicators dont work. I was told the Smart junction box needs to be replaced. Ford has known about this problem,and done nothing!.

4 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2014

My daughter noticed both front turn signals were not flashing while both rear ones worked fine. All indicators from inside the car showed front turn signals working when they were not. I replaced bulbs to no avail. I went on internet and discovered other owners who had the same or similar problem with turn signals. People on the internet recommended replacement of the Smart junction box at the dealer for approximately $600. I took car to local dealer for replacement of Smart junction box. Turn signals began to work fine. What I am concerned about, is that this same Smart junction box controls several other functions of the car. Several comments found on the internet said that Ford Fusions had actually lost power on the highway when being driven at normal speeds. The entire car went dead in highway traffic. Without power steering, they could hardly get car out of the highway. This was reported several times. Again, the reason for the loss of power was the failure of the Smart junction box. I do not understand how Ford cannot be held accountable to a safety recall for this issue.

5 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2013

Front turn signal has stopped working. Bulb is good, fuse is good, wires are good. Mechanic says it is Smart junction box.

6 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2012

I was driving home from work, in the rain, when I got the dashboard message that my rf turn signal was out. Drove the rest of the way home and turned off the ignition and the lf parking light stayed on. Checked the bulbs and fuses and all were fine. Did some research online and found out about similar issues with the Smart junction box. One suggestion was to disconnect the battery to see if it reset. Tried that with no success. We reconnected the battery the next morning and parking light came back on. Had to remove the bulb so I now had no front turn signals. Brought it in to the dealership, assuming the worst after my online research, and got the news it was the sjb to the tune of $700. I was told it wasn't under recall because it's not a safety issue. Having working lights and turn signals would seem to qualify as a safety issue to me?.

7 Turn Signal problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2012

The turn signals and high beams no longer work during operation. All fuses and relays were checked and all fine. The parking lights do work when head lamps are on, work when hazards are turned on, and also flash when locked with key fob. But when using turn signal stalk nothing happens and therefore can not signal to turn or change lanes. Also high beams do not activate in any position of the signal stalk. The sjb is the source of the problem.
