| Seat Belt problems |
The engine malfunctioned and faulty rear seat belt, it is not available for inspection because it started a fire that destroyed by car. The remains of the car is at a savage yard. We were put at risk because we were driving/riding in the car at the time it starting burning. We were able to pull the car over and park it in a gas station parking lot before it became fully engulfed in flames. I am reaching out to Ford. Since it was not an accident involved, the fire department inspected the vehicle and determine the fire started in the engine. Insurance representative has determined it is a total loss. There were no warning lamps or messages from the car. However, what caused us to detect something was wrong was the thick smoke started filling the car's cabin at which time we immediately pulled over. When we stopped the car, actual flames came from under the hoods towards the windshield of the car and we proceed to exit the car. My granddaughter in the back seat was having a hard time releasing herself from her seat belt.

The engine coolant continually needs to be refilled, and has resulted in the car overheating multiple times. I have had the coolant system checked multiple times for leaks and they say that the pressure test doesn't show any leaking. I have had to pull over on the side of the highway twice since I've had the car to wait for it to cool down to put coolant in, which I now have to carry in the trunk because it happens so often. I don't know if the engine is just running hotter than it should and causing this but I would like to know if this has been a problem with other Fusions because its become a big safety issue when I have to pull off the highway to fix the car. Also, I don't know if this has been a problem with other Fords but the seatbelt constantly locks while trying to put it on whether the car is on or off.

The dash lit up notifying of a parking brake error while driving. Got home, parked car, turned car off. Went inside for about two minutes. When came back outside, there was smoke rolling out of the window. Put fire out. After examining, the fire appeared to have started from something electrical in the center counsel on the right side.

Iissue 1) put the back seat down to get into trunk and it wont go back up due to the seat belts issue. Because I dont really use the back seat, I havent bothered to get it fixed and pay for it out of my pocket. 2) driving over 55 mph, car lost power steering. I see others have had same issues with these 2 components of the 2013 Fusion, yet no recall. This makes no sense to me.

Had my oil change/tire rotation done on 08/01/19 and was told I had to get new lug nuts as they were swollen & misshapen. Cost of $200 to change them. I thought this is WI, winters are harsh so ok. Apparently this is not new according to this website. Also have no working airbags as a sensor for the seatbelt is not working. To fix that will be $300+ but I refuse to pay for this as there is a recall in place for that also!! we are loyal Ford customers and to find out Ford knows about this is infuriating. We are now looking to trade this Fusion in (only 75k miles on it) but do we go with another Ford or a different make. To have to even ask this question astounds me. Ford - fix the problems!!!.
So what's happening is that every time I open the back seat to put down the seat belt gets jam and wont release and then I have to get a tool to unscrew the entire buckle where the seat belt latches into just to release the seat from being stuck down, not only that when I put the seat back up the belt jams up again.

Rear middle seat belt locks each time the upper seat portion is lowered, regardless of it it is latched or not. Car does not have to be on or moving for this to occur. To remedy, the bottom seat has to be removed, and seat belt unbolted from car. I am concerned the belt could lock around a person if seated there. There is no leeway in the belt to pull to try and release the tension. Have experienced numerous times, beginning in December 2017.
I lowered the rear 60% seat and the seat belt has lock and won't release to be able to raise seat back into place. The seat belt is not latched, but belt is so tight that the seat only raises a couple inches.
From the day I first drove my car off the lot it was a 2013 Ford Fusion s it's gray. I started the engine and then sat in the driver's seat before I put it in drive I hear a loud thumping noise generating from the back end of my car. And it's still doing it 4 months later non-stop and I cannot figure out what's going on also there is a rusted hole in my muffler. Also often times when I am driving when accelerating the transmission has a huge lag in it and sometimes it sticks without shifting to the proper gear to accelerate, sometimes I have to actually manually shift the gears. And it gets very rough when it slips and slides and makes a big drop which also shakes the entire vehicle and it also impairs the driving performance. And another thing is the seat belt, the rear middle seat of my vehicle when installing a child safety seat the middle seat belt got all jammed up and would not work at all. I had to replace it with an aftermarket seat belt because Ford didn't want to fix it for free and wanted to charge me upwards of $400 just for the seat belt that wasn't my fault that I got damaged I just installed the child seat like the local police showed me to and then once I got it out the seat belt it's not working. They say it's not a part of the recall which I already have 4 recalls on my vehicle that is not yet fixed.

I want to sell my car. The seatbelt recall does not have a fix date yet. I cannot sell my car to a dealer and get a market price until the seatbelt is fixed. The dealer is saying 3rd quarter. This seems like too long. Also not safe.
I was strapped in my seatbelt. There were times it gave too easily. But this time would not release at all. After attempting about a half hour to get it to release and it would not had to cut belt to get out. Dealership tells me no recall.
Rear center passenger seat stops working and locks up in the folded-down seat position making the two passenger-side seats unusable or usable by disengaging the seat belt completely. This repeatable defect occurs when the passenger-side rear seat is folded down. This causes the seatbelt to lock-up and therefore impedes returning the seat to the normal raised position. The user either looses the availability to use the seat or use it in a matter that it was not intended while seating a passenger with no restraining device as the restraining device is stuck holding the backrest down. It should be of additional concern that this defect may be an indication of greater dangers if it is an indication of a general failure of the restraining system that may not function properly upon a collision.
Takata recall. Can I get it fixed ? also something with my door.
I received a recall for a defective seat belt assembly in my 2013 Ford Fusion weeks ago. Because this vehicle is used in a fleet capacity, I pulled it from service immediately. I talked to Ford and was told there is no remedy at this time. I then asked for a loaner vehicle until my vehicle was safe to drive and was told that Ford doesn't have a rental program for recalls. I don't know how this manufacture doesn't have a plan to rectify an inconvenience that their customers have to go through regarding a problem that wasn't the customers fault to begin with. I'm very unhappy Ford treats customers like this.

I folded the back seat down and when I went to put it up the seat belt for the middle passenger in the back seat locked and I could not get the seat to come up. I went to the Ford dealership and they cut the belt and said they would order another belt. While they were cutting the belt the comment was made this is the 5th or 6th car we have come in with this problem. I started to think this is one dealership, how many more cars owners have had this happen to them. I think this is a real safety issue.
These recalls have been out since Apr 23rd, 2015 and Nov 30th 2016 and Ford still does not have parts. It seems to me that it defeats the purpose of a recall. In this case it appears that the company is simply waiting it out until the owner gets a new car and then they do not need to do anything.

Hit deer going 45 miles an hour when he ran out in front of me. Vehicle check was deployed. Said airbag activated. Neither the airbag went off nor did the seat belt restraint tightened. Obtained 7000. 00 in front end damage including radiator, hood fenders and pushed in driver door. Police officer checked the airbag for me and stated that I needed to let them know it should have deployed and did not. Had vehicle towed and called peck Ford. After 3 weeks in the auto repair stated they ran a check and it seemed the airbag was fine. They had to do a realignment and the radiator hose and bolts snapped off plus the body work. Ford stated it was in a recall but that they would not have the parts for a year. I told them I was afraid to drive it and told them about the accident and the failure of the airbag to deploy nor the restraints. Peck Ford also stated that there was not much they could do unless the airbag light stayed on when car was operating. Previously, in summer of 2014, I wrote the warranty center because my headliner had to be replaced due to wrinkling and falling in front. They replaced the headliner but it started happening again so I wrote them in summer of 2014. They stated the only recall they had was for the airbag and that I should stop driving the car immediately and call Ford. I called them and they said there was no parts available and stated then that the airbag light had to be on. Fast forward two months later and I hit a deer, no airbag deployed, the restraints did not work. Fearful when driving the car now and no help available. Driver seat now sags to one side.
