general problems of the 2009 Ford Fusion

Went to get my oil changed and tires rotated at the dealership they said they could not rotate tires because the lug nuts were swollen and they couldn't because they might break. This seems to be a common problem.

This vehicles driver side door lock fails to unlock using the key. This happens only when the car has been sitting in direct sunlight while being exposed to high heat levels. The lock after it cools off begins to work again normally. This defect has caused significant inconveniences. I have not been able to drive my car when the lock becomes defective.

On may 2021 accident happen prior to brake couldn't t brake as soon as it's pressed. It took long time after pressing the brake to come to complete stop. I contact silver spring Ford to diagnose the recall issue but they insist I have to pay. I explained them it's on recall and the letter I received stated that diagnose and parts indicate free of charge but the are refused to perform the diagnosis and solve the issue.

We just had both recalls for the brake system on our 2009 Ford Fusion done. We had the first recall done in June. We then took the car back in on August 7th, we where told it was going to be a one day repair. Later that day the service department manager contacted us stating “the brakes are worse than what they where when you brought the car in and it is unsafe to drive, the module is working like it should but we have something wrong with the brake fluid possibly the brake reservoir. ” then on August 9th the service manager stated “after much research and trying to figure out what is going on with the car that the new part that we have been waiting forever for is bad/faulty from the factory and so we a new part on order. ” the new recalled part is now coming from the factory bad/faulty. On August 27th we where contacted by the dealership that the car is done and we can come pick our vehicle up. We picked the car up that night and today (August 28th) we where driving home from the store when we lost all brakes in the car and rear ended the vehicle in front of us. We are having a different authorized Ford dealer look at the car and brake system on Monday the 30th.

While driving in to work on multiple different occasions, the serpentine belt had come off. The power steering went out and the engine started to overheat. On 3 different occasions I have had my car towed to a shop to get fixed. Each time it was the idler pulley bolt being broken. This all happened while the car was in motion twice on the highway and once on a residential street. There is a loud clinking sound and the car growls.

Takata recall I received a notice of the takata recall (passenger frontal airbag inflator) in February 2018. It is almost December 2018. If this is such a safety issue, why is the recall status still listed "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available"?? when will a remedy be available??.

The driver's side interior door latch was broken could not lock the driver's side door within the last 5 years. I took it to flood Ford of narragansett, ri and they fixed it. Now the same problem has happened again. I have an appointment to have it fixed and don't think I should have to pay for the same repair again!.

Just now learned of recall on airbag. My car has been locking me in it. Tge electrical parts for the locks and windows is acting up. I have been locked in my car 2 times. I am worried if I get in an accident I will be trapped. This happens while car is on or off.

November 2017 my brakes went out again in my 2009 Ford Fusion when attempting to stop while driving east bound on 35. Like in the past I push the brakes and it goes to the floor almost causing an accident and I must pump the brakes to regain brake power. I took it to the dealership again and they state they can't do anything because the problem doesn't reoccur as it is an interment issue. I called and complained to Ford customer service again ref # cas13751675 and there only suggestion is to take it to another dealership to waste more or my time and money to be told the same thing. I am beyond frustrated and I don't understand why Ford hasn't done something about this issue as I have read several complaints showing my same issue I've had for over a yr.

Cosumer owns 2009 Ford Fusion. On four different occasions vehicle lost significant braking pressure that was believed to be caused by wheels hitting potholes which resulted in sudden dropping of brake pedal to floor, a decrease in rate of deceleration of vehicle, increase in stopping distance, and loss of ability to control car's deceleration by increasing the foot pressure applied to the brake pedal.

The pedal is spongy and makes sounds like air is being pumped in and out of the braking system. The pedal travels. I have to press it to the floor to get some type of action that eventually stops the car. If you take your chances with driving the car, you have to know well ahead of time when you will have to stop the car in order to avoid crashing into another car or object. This is a very unsafe situation.

Driver door latch ("lf inner door handle") open it from the inside broke twice in 2011 & 2017.

"lf inner door handle" on the drivers inside door broke twice in 2011 & 2017 -- danger of trapping driver inside car.

My driver side door handle will not open from the inside. I pulled it to open and heard a noise. This is the second time this has happened. I had it repaired at a dealership​ about two years ago. The door will open from the outside. I had parked my vehicle and was trying to get out like any other day.

Interior door handle broke, will not lock or shut, handle just sticks out.

Anti lock brake system failed at 80,000 miles and when they went to repair it the drivers side door mechanism failed and froze shut.

Inside door handles brake and doors can not be opened from the inside!!! also doors will not lock after the handle brakes.

I was leaving a parking lot and made a right-hand turn and the driver's side door flew open. I closed the door and it latched but when I parked the car in my garage I was unable to close the door so the battery went dead.

The throttle body are stuck open reducing power.

The interior door handle became inoperable preventing occupant from opening the door from inside the vehicle. This condition may prevent the driver and other occupants from exiting the vehicle safely in the event of a crash or fire.

Tried to open the driver's side door. Nothing happened. Had to roll down window to open door from outside. Glad my battery was not dead. Took off panel and saw the cheap plastic handle was broken.

The error code for my car indicated there was problem with the secondary air injection pump and the dealership ordered the part. When I went to have the part put on, I was advised I not only needed to replace the secondary air injection pump, but the air valve as well. Since I was last there other customers were experiencing the same problem. And this problem was occurring because water was some how getting into the secondary air injection pump and working its way up to the air valve. Therefore, they both need to be replaced and it would cost $700 plus fix. My concern is how is the water getting into the pump in the first place (is this a manufacturer defect?). And if it is, what is going to keep water from getting into the pump in the future?.

I parked my car in the garage and tried opening the driver side door. But the handle and lock would not work. So I have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. Also the driver door will not lock. This is a very serious security issue. I was told that it was not covered under warranty but I didn't do anything to cause this. It is just very cheap parts and poorly designed.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Fusion. While driving 5 mph, the heel of the contact's shoe became stuck in the floormat and interfered with the accelerator pedal. As a result, the contact crashed the vehicle into a parked vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

The rubber compound on continental tires 225/50r17 is separating from tread, causing a rumble at various speeds after only 23,000 miles, and tread wear is, according to the Ford dealership, down to half life on an 80,000 mile expected tire life. Continental was contacted and refused, without even inspecting the tires, to replace them or honor the guarantee.

I just parked the car, turned off the engine, and was unable to open the driver door from the inside. All of the other doors worked fine. I now have to unlock the doors, put the window down, and reach the outside door handle to open the driver door. It is difficult for someone with arthritis. This is also a severe safety hazard.

3 issues: I saw someone else post this- my break pedal is also soft and goes all the way down to the floor after antilock breaks are engaged (like on icy or wet roads). There is no other time this occurs- as it's the breaks, I've been very mindful of it. I have also had the breaks replaces so I don't think it's actually the breaks but rather somewhere within the breaking mechanics. Second, only when turning left, I get a "clunk" sound at about 1/4 of the way thru the turn. I thought the sound was coming from rear left axle area- but I honestly cannot isolate its origin. The third is my most hated: the rear of the drivers seat is breaking down- almost as though there's a framework of soldered metal inside in the core of the seat and the soldering is snapping apart. One of these days I'm going to fall back when the rear backrest completely breaks. I absolutely hate this- I have never had to buy a replacement seat before and I've owned Ford/Mercury products for 35 years.

Both left and right trunk strut or trunk lid lift support have failed to support trunk lid. Trunk lid does not remain open even when opened completely. Has caused injury by trunk lid falling and striking my head and neck. No professional medical treatment required at this time.

I had stopped at a convenience store and when I tried to open the door the door handle wouldn't unlock. I had to climb out through the passenger side. I could open the door from the outside. This is the 2nd time the handle has broken. The first time was within the 1st year I purchased the car. I have taken it to the dealer to look at. Seems this is a recurring problem with this car.
