general problems of the 2014 Ford Fusion - part 1

I had multiple coolant leaks in the pass and I have to constantly replace the hose about every 2000-3000 miles also my screen went out in my dashboard causing me to not be able to make any audio changes or station adjustments in my car lastly whenever I get ready to increase my speed my car jerks back.

Nothing on my steering wheel that controls dash works.

Backup camera operates intermittently in when in reverse, coming on for about 10 seconds before cutting or not coming on at all, which causes near misses when backing up. Also, camera periodically remains on for 10-15 seconds once shifting into drive which is distracting when pulling into traffic and causes near misses. Furthermore, the camera sometimes activates for 10-15 seconds when shifted into drive from park, again very distracting when pulling into traffic. Problem has persisted for at least 5 years, most recent incident today. Service consultant at two different Ford dealers denied knowledge of this problem.

2014 Ford Fusion se safety concerns for electric rack and pinion assembly failure.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v736000 (electrical system); however, the contact was informed by the dealer that during the reprograming of the instrument cluster, the instrument panel system had failed. The contact was informed that to repair the instrument cluster the dealer needed to perform a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

I've had my Ford Fusion se ecoboost 1. 5, 2014 in for service on 2 separate occasions a day apart for the same reoccurring problems. The first service there was the actions done related to recalls which are consistent with 20s15 a-c and recall 23e03 b. The reasons for my Ford Fusion 1. 5 to have been brought to the premier Ford, waveland, ms was as follows: the temperature overheat lamp light was jared, there was 3 leaks from the overheat, there was a shutter and sounds that came from the engine, (limp*)and there was no fuel power through acceleration. There had been moisture located on exhaust before brakedown without having been driven for approximately 10hrs before brakedown. 2ed service was as follows: temperature overheat lamp light jared, no power through fuel to accelerate, and issues starting. Limp* I had not on this brakedown paid attention to if my Fusion needed water, the engines performance in regards to shakes or sounds nor did I look to notice nor did I look for leaks. I called directly to premier Ford, waveland and had my Ford towed in. The service was as follows: 1) 3u2z*14s411 wpt988 wire asy 2) ds7z*8501*e pw556 pumpasp-water 3) be8z*8507*a gasket-water pump 4)g 3801132 anti-freeze 5) 6 bm5z*6k2543*s437 screw 6) bm5z*6k254*a tensioner - timing belt with the parts 261. 44 labor 1748. 99 misc charges 50. 00 for a total of after taxes 2204. 66 I picked up my Ford Fusion on October 4, 2024 and on October 9, 2024 I went beck to the premier Ford and spoke with the service department because I had to stop and let my Fusion cool every 20 to 30 minutes, I stated that there was some loss of water and it was overheating, the power train light warning notify me of an issue, and that my Fusion would not go over 80miles per hr. The service department associate seemed frustrated with me and argued the fact that it had ran hot and said that the reason for the speed issue was that the lamp was identifying the keylock complete on pdf.

Attachment to last complaint.

Another attachment!.

Slowing driving out of store parking lot, sudden heavy steering, loss of power steering, 'service advancetrac' & 'hill start assist unavailable ' traction control warning lights on.

A third party hacked my cpu/transmission control system causing malfunction with the engine. The engine randomly would cut off during traffic, and I would need to press gas directly after starting the vehicle to go. My vehicle was fairly new and transmission module should not be ineffective after purchasing my vehicle last July 2023 with less than 80k miles. The notification that makes the vehicle stay in the lane would malfunction randomly notifying me of failure to sensor active crash alert. I also have inability to connect to Ford vehicle app with no reason provided to cut off wifi connectivity. Please review external ip as I can hear communication of third party observing my way of driving and communication while attempting to drive causing distraction affecting safety of myself, my location placement, and health of the car. Possible cpu/transmission/ac connectivity from July 2023 to malfunction of vehicle starting 10/2024.

"temporarily lost communication with climate system". This fault has appeared several times. When it comes up, no controls in the vehicle work. This includes ac/heater, windows and radio. My daughter had to drive home from work last week with no ac and no means of putting the windows down. The temperature in the car was pushing 100 degrees. This is not safe and it's not the first time. You can get online and find many examples of the same issue on several models. When I spoke to the local Ford dealer service department, they had no answer.

My vehicle has lost all power steering, and is giving notice that steering assist fault service is required. The vehicle also is manufactured and produced during they same time recall notice 19s26 came out, however, Ford is stating the VIN is not associated with that recall.

Original/factory back-up camera will go blank or not even change displays when the vehicle is placed in reverse. First occurrence began sometime in 2024.

I have 2014 Ford Fusion se. Here lately my car has randomly been unlocking itself not only that popping trunk as well. I have took the time replacing the key fob battery first the checking lock adapters to my doors and also my keypad. I have it checked out. Yet nobody knows. I’m 8 pregnant with two kids this is very stress as a single parent trust that car is ensured locks it’s not. Yall need to do recall and fix this. I did speak with police department stating issues filing a report I didn’t have number but they said it documentation.

My car when it is parked it will randomly pop the trunk. A lot of issues I’m seeing is Ford Fusions 2014 and up! few of my friends are having the same issues especially with keyless entry pad it’s causing issues from water damage or heat causing the car to to this! their needs to be recall on that cause kids doors aren’t locking properly I have kids I had someone almost steal my car cause my trunk was popped open by itself! this is my second time reporting this I have 2 year old newborn and 5 year old I need my car! can yall please fix this issue.

When driving the car will stall out and die in the driving state. This occurs without warning from any sensor light error warnings. After acceleration to 35 it will sputter as if the fuel is not flowing, yet then it will correct but stall and completely die during operation while driving. Have had both the upper and lower full pumps installed within the last calendar yet still currently having the problem or issue. Experiencing the exact same eco boost concerns as other Ford models have been recalled for as of recent.

Complete loss of steering and transmission slips/shifts hard.

Power steering failing, will not correct itself to straight while driving without manual assistance, can stay locked in turned position.

My transmission has failed multiple times. Luckily my car is under warranty, because I have been able to have it replaced twice, but both times, these malfunctions have put my life and countless others in danger, because the failure is sudden and not preceded by any warnings. This problem has reproduced twice and been confirmed and fixed both times by sun’s auto in spring texas. The vehicle has been inspected recently by the manufacturer as my shifter bushings also disconnected as part of a separate recall, resulting in a similar situation as the transmission failure. There have been no warnings prior to any of these issues occurring, and at this point recalling individual parts is not sufficient. The transmission and shifter bushing issues alone cost more to repair than the car is worth at this point, and they are extremely dangerous, especially when combined with the other active safety recalls for this same car such as the brakes, door latches, and steering. Almost every aspect of this car is unsafe as manufactured .

“temporarily lost communication with the climate system” error. Alert suddenly came on while driving, no prior issues or signs of error. Windows will not go down, air conditioner will not come on, cannot use climate touch screen or control volume from dash.

Rear backup camera intermittently functions. Often going out for the entire duration of backup parking or departing driveway onto street (10 seconds). Reporting date of today but I was un-aware I could report these problems. Seems to have manifested shortly after warranty expiration.

This problem has happened multiple times over the last few years. The windows, air conditioning and radio just stop working. Safety issue - hot day and can't roll windows down or turn the air on! dealership wouldn't fix it because everything turned back on when we got to dealer, and then again stopped working again later. Very sporadic. Currently not working again.

Turned vehicle on one day & the parking break light came on, attempted to disengage with the parking break button but nothing released the breaks. Wouldn’t let me move the car when in drive. After trying to disengage with the button many times, decided to undo the battery because its electric & I was hoping to reset it & wait 20 mins. After doing so the release parking break warning, park break malfunction warning & parking break light was still on & it still didn’t move for another 20 minutes then suddenly after putting it in drive again it let me move. Now the release parking break warning, park break malfunction warning & the parking break light stays on even when actively driving & beeps the entire drive. No auto shops I’ve been to knows how to fix this! help please.

The trunk on my 2014 Ford Fusion se randomly opens. This occurs 3 to 4 times per day. Sometimes while driving, other times while its parked. This obstructs my view, and can cause danger to other drivers if contents in my trunk fly out.

Rear view video system is failing either completely or halfway during the back up. Warning message says to contact dealership, who wants to run diagnostics in order to figure out cause. Despite video failure, the audio has continued to work properly. Did not want to pay costly fee to run diagnostics without shopping around for lower price.

My son completely lost control over the steering wheel while driving on the high way with 65mph, he hardly managed - was lucky - to control the vehicle till it stopped safely. I can not emphasize how much dangerous this was (he received alarm on the dashboard and lost steering power directly after the alarm ).

Rear view (backup) camera only works intermittently. When not functioning, the message "camera not available" appears.

My 2014 Ford Fusion completely lost power and wouldn't even start or turn on novemeber13, 2022. The car was towed to a dealership, and I was told that the coolant was going inside of the engine and causing corrasion. We contacted the warranty company and was told that this was a manufacture's default and that they wouldn't fix/ replace my engine because my whole engine needed to be replaced. I contacted Ford and they said there was no recalls on my car and in 2017 I saw on cars. Com that the engine/ coolant system for Ford Fusions from 2014-2017 were recalled but Ford said there was no such recall and that their recalls have an s in them and not a v.

Unknown. I just know something not right with my car. My brake lights will not turn off. There is something wrong with well I think there is something wrong with the transmission and steering. It just needs an all over inspection honestly. I need help, idk what else to do. I have to get back and forth to work! help!!!.

There is an electrical issue where the whole interior/dash system and door panel buttons fault. There is no heat or air flow and the windows will not roll up or down. If the windows are rolled up during summer and it faults the car gets up over 100 degrees quickly. This could kill me and my passengers. Also if it is cold or raining with there being no air flow the front windshield fogs and there is no defrost causing visibility to completely diminish. We have taken to a Ford dealership for repair and they did not fix the issue. This has been an ongoing issue for 2 years. We have also attempted to replace the whole control module and this did not fix the issue. I do not have any more money to put into this car in an attempt to fix the issue and it may not work. This is very unsafe for myself as well as the children in my care with child death tolls growing due to heat exposure in hot cars or freezing in the winter. This is at no fault of my own. No warning signs show on the vehicle prior to this happening.

I have an electronic brake system in my Ford Fusion. I rarely use the function. However, when entering into my vehicle, the electronic brake system is flashing brake repeatedly, even when I never placed it in that function when turning off my car prior. I went to get my car tested and nothing was found. No problem codes. This may be a defect with the car itself.

Power steering went out without notice of failure or service. Extremely difficult to operate vehicle with no power steering and could easily cause a collision or other accident.

My car has a recall and there is. It a fix for is yet and the dealer won’t give me a rental until I get it fixed and I’m out of a car basically because it’s unsafe to drive.

I was driving down the highway when my car suddenly popped up a “hill start assist not available” “service advancetrac” and “steering loss stop safely” as my car completely lost all steering while merging almost causing me to wreck.

Air conditioner turns on by itself. None of the buttons work on the steering wheel unless you hit the steering wheel. Sometimes when you turn on the car all the lights stay on and there is traction issues. If you turn the car back off and then back on it goes away.
