Body problems of the 2013 Ford Fusion - part 2

The door latches stop latching and not even a locked door secures the latch and your family member may fall out of the car.

My vehicle is having issues with my car not going into park. Last week I got home pulled in my driveway. I tried to put my car in park but the gear shift would not move. It was stuck in the drive mode. The only way I was able to stop my car from rolling into my house was by using the emergency brake. This is the second extremely dangerous recall with this vehicle. Previously I had a recall with the back passenger door latch. Driving with my children one particular day and the door opens. My personal opinion and based on my experience the 2013 Ford Fusion is a safety hazard and has not been manufactured properly.

Ford Fusion recall - right rear door latch unhooked, the door doesn't stay closed. Recall was found on this situation, and front right door had this issue about a year ago and was claimed to be fixed. Now rear right door is having this issue and it is entirely unsafe to drive. Angela krause Ford in roswell was charging around $500 to replace this door latch, even though there was a recall on this incident. The vehicle was staying at their location waiting for a warranty to cover the costs but this did not occur, and we were still charged for a diagnostic fee, just for them to look at the door.

Door latch broken. This time it's the drivers entry door. This is the 3rd door latch to break after the door latch recall �fix� that was previously performed on this vehicle. This latch broke while stationary, the first broken latch occurred when moving.

The shifter cable bushing failed,causing inaccurate gear selection,resulting in car rolling down my driveway, crossing the street and crashing into my neighbors tree. Damage included the rear bumper, the tree, no one was hurt but it could have been a lot worse. Ford has a recall for the same year, and model, but insist that my car is not in the list. This incident has cost to date almost a thousand dollars to fix. The loss of confidence regarding the safety of this vehicle cannot be monetized.

Vehicle was repaired summer of 2018 for door latch recall. All door latches were replaced per the recall. Prior to the recall repair the right rear latch failed. On 12/18/18 the right front passenger latch failed allowing the door to open with the inability to close. Dealer replaced this latch under warranty on 12/20/18. Recall didn't work. Latches are still failing.

I was driving down the road today and the passenger door flew open. I asked about a recall last month because the door stop catching and the Ford dealership told me I didn't have the recall for the door latch under my VIN #. Door flew open on the street as I was making a turn on my way to work. Luckily I was close to my job so I just drove a few blocks with my hand holding the passenger door shut.

The door latch on the drivers side door failed during operation and the door opened while underway. Taken to Ford to be fixed as I have seen other issues with the door latch failing on the same vehicle. Ford said this was not a recalled part. The door opened and would not latch shut again causing me to try use by belt as a strap to keep the door shut.

Door latch recall. I have a 2013 Ford Fusion that the driver latch failed. My car was built during the time frame given in the recall and the plant that it came from. Ford tells me that my car is not part of the recall. But they have not given me a clear response other than my VIN does not fall into the category for the recall. I am going back and forth with Ford customer service and they are unable to give me the exact reason as to why it is not included. I have attached the correspondence with Ford.

Door won't engage and remains opened, so I checked the internet and found that Ford has numerous door latch recalls and it appeared that my focus of the years I own was included. I went to the dealer and when I pulled in, the greeting person saw my bungie cord system to hold the door somewhat closed and he said "OH I know why you're here" obviously, he has seen this many times, however, when I went to the desk, the rep said my VIN was not included in the recall and I would have to pay for it myself. I left and called Ford. I told of the situation and said this is dangerous and I would hate if something tragic happened where it would end up in a law suit or on the news. The rep who was obviously in another country and I could barely understand, said she was going to expedite this and send it to my dealer's service manager and I was to call the next afternoon. I called was transferred to a voice mail with no response. I called two days later and spoke to the service mgr who found the case but couldn't understand when was written. He said he would call me back later which he did and told me that Ford will not cover this. So now I have a call to the executive team and am awaiting a response.

Our call had a recall , never got notice and the recall on this vehicle localized overheating my cylinder head to crack, result in fire in engine and this is what happened to our 2013 Ford Fusion.

Door latch failure.

Recall on door latch was serviced on Nov 3 2017 at 85000 miles. And the same problem occured with the front passenger door. Contacted hennessy Ford in alpharetta GA that done the recall and says there's no warranty on recall repairs.

The hood latch continues to loosen causing my hood not to close properly. I have noticed that many other Fusions in my town are driving around with hoods that are not properly shutting as well.

I was purchasing a new vehicle, while shopping at greenway Dodge and Ford, I came across a 2013 Ford Fusion and loved the vehicle. However, the back right door would not close due to a manufacture recall. I told the sales man I love the vehicle but I would not make a down payment until they fixed it. A couple days later I received a call that they fixed all 4 doors and the vehicle was ready. After about two or so weeks from picking the vehicle up, I was driving down the highway when the passenger side door swung open with my girlfriend in the passenger seat and my dog in the back (if it was my dog in the front seat he would be dead on the highway). I returned to the dealership when I found out the vehicle had been repaired 2 previous times, once in April and once in July, claiming that all 4 doors had been replaced. I once again had to put my vehicle in the shop and rent a car. Then today, I receive a call that they gave me a completely invalid license plate. When I went to get another tag after my temporary one expired they refused to print another one even though I only got one temporary. I explained that I could not drive without a plate when the person working gave me hard plate and told me it was mine. I recently just got my florida driver's license. If I was pulled over with a plate that was not registered and out-of-state license I would get ticketed (possible arrested), car impounded, and tons of fines. They did not tell me for a month that the license plate I had was not registered to me. I have been back and forth with this dealership constantly and I have only owned this vehicle since July (there is documentation on the repairs). I want to take legal action for the risk they have put my girlfriend in and also the careless mistakes they have made while displaying a lack of urgency.

The passenger door latch will not operate allowing door to close. It came open when my daughter had it at college. There was a police report done and no evidence of a break in was found. It happened in florence, al at the university of north alabama. She said it was parked when it happened.

Hood latch in front of the vehicle is faulty. Ford dealer mechanic explained it is a common issue due to the slack in the cable and style of system. Said that when they repair issues they tighten the cable to ensure proper operation. $1175 to repair a common issue due to faulty engineering. 2013 and 2014 units are the on my 2 years manufactured this way. Leads one to believe, Ford knows there is an issue.

I've had my 3rd door latch fail on this car. Door will not shut. Latches failed twice previously, once while the vehicle was in motion. The first and the third time failure occurred while parked. This complaint is the same as the item covered in recall campains 17v210000 and 15v246000 but Ford has refused to repair my vehicle under these recall campaigns stating my vehicle is not included in the recall. Clearly with three failed door latches my vehicle suffers from the same defect, and should have been included in the recall for defective door latches. I do not feel safe with my family in this vehicle.

2013 Ford Fusion door locks. Lat year 2017, I received a recall notice on the above vehicle for "doors opening by themselves whilst driving. Well, just prior to getting the locks replaced, my rear passenger door flew open upon turning a corner on a busy main road and thankfully my passenger was wearing a seatbelt as they almost fell out of the car. I had the locks replaced by the dealership on January 24th 2017. Well, to my surprise last Sunday July 8th, 2018, my wife was in the front passenger seat and again, I turned a corner on a busy main road and the door flew open while I was driving. She too almost fell out of the car. I called the dealer and they ordered a new front door lock and replaced it yesterday July 10th 2018. However, I was informed that Ford would not cover the cost and I was charged $257. 21. The dealer said that they contacted Ford who refused to pay for it because they said that they had already replaced the locks in 2017. I called Ford and they told me the same thing and refused to reimburse me for this. This could have resulted in my wife's death and I need some help rectifying this problem. As a matter of fact, I am afraid to drive my car at this point in the event that this happens again. Please help.

I was sitting in the passenger seat as my wife took an exit to get off the highway and the passanger side door randomly flew open as we were turning on the ramp. If I did not have my seat belt on I may have fell out!.

Passenger door latch (front seat) broken without warning, unable to keep door closed when moving. . I was informed by the dealer that the latch problem on this vehicle was not included with the Fusion door latch recall that affected other 2013 Fusions. Dealer has now fixed the latch and at first was going to charge me the entire $500 cost until I called Ford directly where they agreed (Ford) to pay most of the cost but not replace other unaffected door latches. Though my out of pocket cost was only $53. 50, my concern is that the previous Fusion recall did not go far enough to include other 2013 Ford Fusions that may have the same issue. I am concerned for the safety of other occupants in the vehicle.
