general problems of the 2013 Ford Fusion - part 2

Was sold the car with no inspection and was pushed to get this 2013 Ford Fusion. Lights inside car flickers on and off rather car is on or off; caused to get new battery.

When I pull out the gearbox it makes a medium loud noise in the transmission, I try to call because I received notifications, number and description of the 19s16 campaign but it turns out that the automated call does not recognize the numbering.

On 10/31/21 at approximately 7:30 pm my dashboard alerted me with a steering assist fault after making a turn on a rotary on mystic valley pkwy somerville MA 02144. After entering the rotary my vehicles steering wheel become stiff and hard to move and staring moving towards the left side close to the curbs. I was traveling at around 20mph. I was able to move the vehicle to a near by park that was located on the same street as the rotary (dilboy stadium). After parking the vehicle, I shut it off and restarted it. After doing so, the alert disappeared and I was able to drive the vehicle normally. After leaving the park 5 minutes later the alert popped back again. I was driving in a straight line so the steering assist did not cause much of a problem, however I could feel the stiffness of the steering wheel. When I arrived to my destination, after performing a left turn my vehicle once again starting leaning towards the left side almost causing me to hit the curb. At around 9:00pm I had towed the vehicle to a Fords dealership. On Monday the 1st I was able to drive the vehicle with same steering wheel conditions to an independent dealership who performed a check and received a fault code of c200d:49 with the solution of replacing power steering rack with module which could only fixed at a Ford dealership due to the module. In the situation described above I was very fortunate that I was not driving at high speed in an area with high traffic, as an accident would’ve most likely occurred. I know that there is no recall on my specific VIN however I am aware that other vins with the same year and model have recalls on them. I do not have any other alerts on the car. The fault I came across is a safety hazard not only to myself but other cars on the road. After digging around on the web the steering wheel fault is a common error that a lot of Ford owners come across and I believe that an investigation needs to be launched to protect the safety of drivers and pedestrians.

No warning light. Rpm’s surge high, low then engine shuts off while driving or idle. I could be in the middle of an intersection and my engine will shut itself off. Major safety issue and this car needs to be recalled. Happens even after taking it to the dealer “fixing” the “problem. ” I’m not sure they even know the issue. They just try replacing things for a short term fix yet still having issues long term.

Our transmission thinks the car is always in drive. It won’t start, and shifts very roughly. There was a recall for this, but not sure why our specific vehicle wasn’t included.

Transmission made noise and stopped running. Need replacement at a cost of $8,000. 00.

The mechanism and cable to unlatch the hood corroded to the point that the hood to the car was unable to be opened. This could be a hazard in the event oil needed or antifreeze needed to be added to prevent engine damage. Or if the hood were to somehow become ajar, it could potentially cause the hood to open up while driving, creating a visual obstruction and increasing the risk for a motor vehicle crash.

Power steering was lost. Fuse and belt is still okay.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact received a notification of NHTSA recall campaign number: 18v592000 (equipment) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced the failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The car would stop after the warning of over heating so the car would just shut down go into what is called limp mode was told that is to protect the engine so we was told that in order for them to check we first had to purchase Ford parts to get it started which we did but about 30days later same problem took it back they charged me another fee to put on the diagnostic machine which we did. That still didn't take care of the problem this went on from April 2021 well in may received a recall for the coolant system on this car make and model made appt took it in well they failed at fixing this with the car having to be left there weeks at a time it is still there they couldn't repair it they now are saying it is the engine do we want it repaired I don't no how when they can't even fix what it was there for now all of a sudden it's on me and the agent that called first said the transmission they have no clue they are just trying not to be responsible for this car even towing company knows where to take the car I have been put down all over town. This has been a nightmare I am afraid of the car and no trust with the people that's fixing the recall because they don't know how.

While coming off the highway my hill start assist, advanced tract, and steering failed. I almost lost control of the car. Also, the linkage for the shifter keeps coming undone.

All locks in car start clicking then 3-5 seconds laters trunk opens. Happens at random time sometimes happen when car is parked or while driving. It's been going on for about 1. 5 years have took its to 3 different Ford dealership all couldn't fine what the problem is. It's is a 2013 Ford Fusion with about 122000 miles. The most recent was 3/26/2021 woke up the next morning the truck was open. A couple of days before we where driving about to merge on the freeway they truck open had to pull over to close.

My 2013 Ford Fusion is having issues with the passenger door. It was getting harder to close with out slamming it. Well one day it flew open while I was driving on a city street turning almost causing an accident. The door wouldn't stay closed without rope from then on. Good thing I didn't have my 3 kids with me at the time. The force bent the hinges as well as dented the door. I took it to a local Ford dealership and was told my car was on the recall list for faulty door latches and to bring it back in 5 days. This is after I told them I have to drive with a rope holding the door closed. I bring my car in 5 days later and get a rental that Ford wouldn't cover. Well 2 days later I get a call saying they will not fix the recalled door latch and to come pick up my car. I've been driving around for over a month now with my door roped shut but it pops open still. I don't know what to do. I'm not financially stable enough to pay for the costly repair. I'm at such a loss that Ford will not fix this safety issue. The dealer ship even cleared the recall on line and it now says all latches are fixed please? how can this happen? please help!.

Randomly I will get the service advancetrac, hillstart assist not available, and traction control lights. It will be hard to steer for a few minutes, sometimes it will shake a little, and then the problem will go away and it will run fine. I live in florida so I'm not dealing with any hills or snow, and I don't drive my car in the rain. Completely dry and flat roads, and it still happens. Can't find a recall or anything, will be getting it serviced soon.

I put my car in park in the parking lot and took my foot off the brake and my car started to roll backwards so I noticed my backup camera was on so I looked at the dash and my car showed the car was in reverse as the automatic shifter was in the park position. The shifter linkage came detached and the car wasn't able to shift. The bushings have deteriorated and caused the shift to come off . My car is a 2013 Ford Fusion VIN# [xxx] and I have seen a recall back in 2019 recall 19v362000 and this is exactly what has happened to my car information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

There was a recall on my model in 2018 which they say was fixed. But it is causing un going issues. Now the (ctv)? module needs replacing. Bottom line, cylinder head sensor keeps shooting a code that the coolant is to low, while it is not. You start the car and the needle shoots to hot. Warning signal goes of and engine starts to shake plus fans kick on. Engine light plus overheating comes on. Leaks have been fixed but the module was a recall and they verbally no longer grant it freely fixed, because of time overlaps.

My vehicle was serviced for a wide spread faulty door latch recall in 2016 and was reinspected again this year for the another door latch recall. Now my passenger front door latch is faulty causing my door to not close at all. The cutter Ford dealer on oahu is telling me even though my door latch is faulty, it's not covered by the recall and I will have to pay for it to be replaced. How is this possible? after having my door latches replaced four years ago due to a recall, they are now faulty again four years later. Does another recall need to be issued to replace the door latches used in the original recall. This is a major safety issue and needs to be addressed and corrected by the Ford dealer free of charge.

While driving I smelled a faint whiff of gasoline, moments later the car began filling up with smoke that spilled in through the heater vents. There was also smoke that was coming from under the hood. My husband & I jumped out of the car to run to safety and I saw fire under the front end of the car. Once the fire fighters arrived and extinguished the fire we were told it looks like the engine had caught on fire.

Door lock keeps door from closing shifter cable broken air bag light keeps coming on.

My Ford Fusion shifter cable is broke there is a recall on this issue however the Ford dealership is telling me there is no open recall on my specific car im so confused this is not a coincidence please help!!!!.

Coolant hose leaking cause engine to overheat quicker , also at some point began to smoke , I had to repeatedly put water and coolant that this is also an ac issue which Ford has had a recall problem on before and another issue was the fluid (coolant) leaking near the engine , I wasn't able to and was afraid to use my ac due to the fear of it overheating quicker , was a complete mess and Ford refused to help me with it because the same mode of my car had gotten the recall, but not my car VIN, absolutely insane and infuriating to me.

The door is not latching shut it pops open when it feels like it . Driving down the street in the door popped open and it wouldn't shut also seems like the transmission won't stay in park at times it jumps when I'm driving it takes a while for it to go into gear I had it in park one day and the car was still moving.

One of my doors wouldnt shut. The door latch was stuck. Took to garage and they fixed by pulling handle and getting mechaniam to go back in. I heard there may be a recall on these latches. The car was stationary.

I had my vehicle for 6 months within the 6 months I had the alternator, water pump, 2 coolant leaks fixed, spark plugs, driver seat, battery, timing belt, and now a undiagnosed problem that is taking 2 weeks and it is currently in the shop. These all happened when in motion.

Shift cable my car stake on r and not running.

When going down a hill whether you are using cruise control or not, the car will downshift really hard, once, twice and sometimes three times before you get to the bottom of the hill. This is an ongoing problem that started in April of 2020. The backup camera stopped working and it was completely replaced and it still does not work.

Recall 15s16 was performed on April 24, 2018 to fix a door latch which had not malfunctioned yet. Last week it actually happened in a grocery store parking lot as I was driving. Passenger door opened while in motion and would not latch. Had to tie it shut with a rope. Took it for repair yesterday and was informed it was more than a year so the latch part was no longer under warranty and I was charged $448 to fix the issue. I feel Ford should have fixed this for free since it was obviously fixed with a faulty part 2 years ago or it wouldnt have happened. I have contacted them but have not received any help in being reimbursed. I see another recall happened this year for this same thing but only goes back to 2014 and I have a 2013.

I have had 2 door latch failures on my vehicle within 7 months of each other. The first one was my driver door, 2nd failure was my rear passenger door. I contacted Ford motor corporation, and they advised me these were supposedly already fixed under the recall that the vehicle previous had. The first door latch failed on 07/06/2019, the 2nd failure happened on 1/19/2020. The failure has caused the doors open and not latch close even when the vehicle is in motion. I have had to pay for both of these repairs out of pocket when it is clearly a safety issue. My rear passenger door is rarely used, I do not have children and I do not open that door often. My driver door opened on me when I was going around a corner at 45 mph, and the rear passenger door opened on me as I was parking in a spot going about 3 mph. Ford advised me they will look into this - but this causes unexpected financial strains for the repairs, and makes me concerned about the other 2 doors in my vehicle that are not recently repaired.

The antifreeze started leaking. . . . Then it all flushed down. . . I see there us a recall for this problem. . . My car should be on the recall list. . . . I only noticed when car was parked.

First time problem occurred was in a parking lot. Able to reverse. As soon as vehicle was put into drive engine shut off with no warning. All electrical systems worked. This happened 2 times in a parking lot and a similar situation happened while driving on the highway. No warning lights codes or any warning before vehicle shutting off. When vehicle shuts off only real sign is loss of acceleration.

I was in reverse pulling out of a parking spot I was in the middle of a roadway when my car would not move anymore. The gear shift had detached from the transmission. I was lucky there was a tow truck mechanic who was able to reconnect it and move my car to safety. It has done this a couple more times since but it is now no longer driveable. In regards to the fuel the car makes a rumbling noise from the gas line, and makes the car fill with the smell of fuel. When I put the gas nozzle into the car a bubble sound and air pierces out.

The gear shift on the vehicle has broken twice I've had it temporarily fixed to hold it over. But it's dangerous for is saying they don't have a recall on my model but the recall they have on the gear shifts fits exactly what I'm going thru.

Driver side rear door latch suddenly failed while driving at appromately 40miles per hour. Door ajar warning lit up in the console. Pulled over to try to close the door but the latch had failed entirely. Had to secure door with seat belt and drive slowly home will drop it off at dealership because dealership service dept was closed at time of incident.

Service advance trac, traction control, abs, and steering assist fault lights all come on randomly and it becomes extremely hard to steer. When this is going on, the lane keeping system does not work and the turn signal needs shut off after every turn. Having no power steering and trying to turn off your turn signal while driving is extremely dangerous. These lights randomly come on and go back off. I live in PA, if this problem happens in snow I have to pull over and wait for the steering to be back to normal or risk my life getting home. Ford has not included my VIN in a recall that could be the cause of the issues. I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times now for this same problem.

My car shuts down when driving . This is very dangerous I had a close call on my life this more when a car almost rear ended me when the shutdown took place.
