I had started my car one morning and noticed some "dummy" lights had not gone off. I then got a notice about "hill side assist not available" that was weird as I was on a flat surface. Then I also got a notification that said "service advancetrak". The warning lamps that stayed illuminated are abs, front airbag, stability control, and stability control off lights. While I drove off, the steering was affected as well, it wasn't like I had no power steering, but it was definately more difficult to steer. I got to work, called the dealer, made an appointment for my car to be looked at. Which was thenext day. When I went back to my car after work, the warning lights and notifications did not appear. The next day, went to the car, going to work, all the lights appeared again. Car went to the shop and was told the speed sensor and hub need to be replaced. The total cost is $635. 00 for repairs. I have seen lots of complaints of this sort for my year of car. I believe a recall should be issued.
Airbag warning light on.
Took Fusion in for recall 16s42 concerning seatbelt pretentioners on 08aug17. No airbag warning light was illuminated on the dash, when we went to pickup the car the light was on. The dealership had not seen the light and refused to check out the problem before my wife left the dealership. I believe that durango motor company, durango colorado should have taken responsibility of checking the system.
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that there was a random failure progressing in which the key would not turn over to start the vehicle. The contact had to make numerous attempts and or disconnect the battery to get the vehicle to start. The contact was also included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v597000 (air bags) but the dealer stated the part was not available and an appointment would be scheduled November 2nd, 2015. The contact was told that as of now the recall repair was not required due to no failure experienced yet for NHTSA campaign number: 15v246000 (latches/locks/linkages ) so he was uncertain of when the recall would be performed. The contact also experienced the eps warning light and the power train warning lights randomly illuminating. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
I was exiting from the highway, and all of a sudden, all of the warning lights came on (abs, traction control, airbags, hill assist, etc. ). All systems became unoperational while I was driving, which caused me great concern. I brought it into the dealership the next morning (the issue was still happening), and they kept it for two weeks because the affected part, a restraint control module (rcm), was on national backorder. They said the car was unsafe to drive, and, if I had gotten in an accident, the airbags wouldn't have deployed. I have read about a number of other people with 2013 Fusions with the same exact defective part, so this issue should probably be investigated.
The airbag warning light will not turn off indicating there is a malfunction (per the manual). Therefore I need to take it back to dealer to get it checked. One of the 3 memory buttons for the electronic seat adjustments is not working properly.
Airbag warning light illuminated. After restarting car, it sometimes stayed on, and sometimes would clear. Happened ~ once a month, then started to happen with alarming frequency in July 2014. Airbag warning light would come on almost every time car was used. In sept 2014, car was taken to dealership and service was preformed. Light did not come back on for two weeks. Airbag warning light than began to illuminate again frequently. Car was taken back in again and techs worked for two days on vehicle and had issues finding a root cause. Car was not fixed but we were told to bring back in again. On 10/3/2014, I ran a VIN recall lookup, and no recalls were issued for my car although issue seems to align with a recall issued by Ford on sept 24-25/2014. I am concerned that the population of affected vehicles is larger than the recall.
