general problems of the 2014 Ford Fusion - part 1

Took car in may to hemborg Ford they replaced my brake bumper it was on recall. Took car back on August 3 of 2026 brake lights staying on. Had them recheck the recall again thought it might be that. I was told it was not the issue. I needed to change out brake switch and had to pay diagnostic fee so a total of just under 300. My brake lights stay on while driving my car and when we park the car. They had my car 3 days then picked up my car on August 5 drove it home and immediately noticed still having the same issues. Brake lights on even after I called dealer and brought car back in. They kept my car 2 more days then I received a call it would be 200 for a brake flush they were confident that it would fix the light issue. And now we would we have to pay for another repair. A brake flush for brake lights staying on didn’t make sense. We felt we were being upsold for something we didn’t need and they had no answere for us! we declined the second repair and picked up car on 8/07/2026 and still the brake lights are staying on while driving the car. We woke up to looking out our window and noticed lights were on . Mind you the car had not been driven for hrs and the lights turned themselves on while car was parked. Skip to Sunday driving home from in laws and dash lights up. It says hillside assist and yellow wrench pops up. I fear my daughters safety and feel it is unsafe now. Called Ford to make a complaint. But meanwhile I have a car that we need but feel unsafe to drive. Our car is having more issues than when we took it in to the dealer. I need a resolution but what I really need is my money back so that I can take the car elsewhere! I feel car was misdiagnosed and I should not have to pay for their mistake. No options were given just to pay for more repairs. We asked for past invoices to be printed so I can keep a copy. Was told they cannot print past invoices. I felt we were taken advantage of we should get our money back for a diagnosis that was not repaired.

My backup camera is malfunctioning and Ford denied to fit it through their 15 year extended warranty on backup cameras.

Backup camera doesn’t work.

The backup camera is faulty and will sporadically stop working. Sometimes it will stop working in the middle of backing up. When it doesn't work the screen will either go black, flicker on and off, show a reversed image, or show an image with blue lines through it. This has put my safety at risk multiple times as I've been backing up and suddenly the image will disappear. We've taken the car into an independent service shop. They were unable to solve the issue and their only solution was to replace the system for $600. There was no warning before this started happening, however it does seem to be getting worse as time goes on. It only works about 10% of the time now.

The backup assisting camera is no longer working properly, causing a safety issue while reversing. There are recalls on this from 2015 to 2019 but not 2014 even though the same issue is happening with the 2014's.

As I was driving,making a right turn and with out warning my steering wheel before excessively hard to control, turn. Because of the sudden wheel tightening as I was making this right turn I almost collided with a vehicle in next lane on highway. My brakes were in good standing but I had to really step down on my brakes to gain control of the steering wheel. I put in the shop and got a multi point inspection with repairs costs of over 3000 to replace steering wheel gear bolts etc in which I can't afford at this time.

The backup camera works intermittently. Showing a black screen and telling me to see a dealer.

My back up camera glitches out where it works one moment and then it doesn’t an I get a message says that the back up camera doesn’t work to call dealership.

The backup camera screen is black or flickers, and sometimes shows an error message like 'camera not available. '.

Rear view camera inspection recall (campaign 25sa9/25v695) should be extended at least a few more years. My 2014 Ford Fusion platinum is affected by the same issue.

The back up camera is intermittent or is a black screen. It also displays like a mirror image instead of what is directly behind me (right is on the left and left is on the right).

Vehicle camera works intermittently. The screen will come on while in reverse however, will go black. I've turned the camera off and on but the same thing happens. The camera should not function like this.

Rear viiew camera stops working and/or goes blank when the car is put in reverse. Sometimes will also displays back up camera not working please contact dealership.

The backup camera is not working right it's either fuzzy or it's black and sometimes it is showing on opposite direction causing me to almost have a huge accident with my children inside this is currently still happening and started over 2 months ago.

The rearview camera does not display properly. The image is flipped which can cause confusion when using the camera to check for traffic. Sometimes the camera does not come on/display images when shifting into reverse. Also at night the camera is streaky so one is unable to see images in the camera. I noticed there was a recall for the rearview camera but my make/model/year was not included but I am experiencing issues with the rearview camera.

My backup camera does not work periodically. It will say camera unavailable. I use my camera in conjunction with my mirrors so it is really difficult when I can’t see behind me.

Recent problem with the backup camera on a 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid that intermittently shows the image in reverse- right is left and left is right. This is very dangerous when backing up . Ford is aware of the problem and has recalls on other models with the same problem but not ours.

The rear view mirror and side mirrors become dark after the sun sets and it becomes extremely hard and dangerous to judge vehicles behind you as you try to merge onto any road that has moving traffic.

My rear camera on my 2014 Ford Fusion just stopped working on it's own (noticed on [xxx]). I then researched and found a recall; however, the recall is VIN specific and does not include my vehicle. This is a problem as my camera stopped working and deserves to be fixed as well the others that have already been identified. VIN# [xxx] I also called and my reference # is [xxx] thank you in advance for your assistance information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Advancetrac stopped working in my car due a sensor. Had to get it replaced by midas. When I went to turn on my car and put it in drive it started making an awful grinding sound and would not move and gave me an error code that just said service advancetrac. It was insanely expensive to repair and thankfully didn't happen while I was driving.

2014 Ford Fusion 4d 2wd se backup camera started when my car was 9 to 10 years old occasionally goes black and show reversed but not upside down. Within 5 months it continually shows images reversed. I attempted to do a software update but since it was over 10 years old at the time I was not allowed to I also spoke to the car dealership and was told that was correct. No recalls on the backup camera I was told I would need to pay between 500 and 1000 dollars to have it fixed. I found a site on the internet that say the 2014 also had a recall but the Ford site does not show my VIN indicating that is true.

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.

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.

Backup camera has been mostly inoperable for two years. The display is blurry at best, and works intermittently. Most often, the screen displays "camera not available" or just goes black. Ford has issued a recall for other model years but needs to include the 2014 as we have the same issues.

Shifter cable bushing and cover car would not move when putting into drive or reverse. It was the shifter cable bushing that had to be replaced. We were told that this issues was covered on other VIN number vehicles but not our car. Why???.

The latch holding the driver door closed failed and the door would not close. This issue has happened before and been addressed by previous recalls but continues to be an issue.

Engine coolant leak.

I had my car at southgate Ford from 0ct 17- 20. During this time my car was to be serviced for the recalls. However upon receiving my car back. I was told the recall that is showing incomplete( door latches) was unable to be repaired due to the car only being registered in mi and PA. At this time it is showing my VIN is still showing said recalls as incomplete.

Back-up camera: the back-up camera works intermittently, or sometimes not at all; on several occasions, the camera went on briefly, showing children approaching the back of the car while backing out of a driveway. Then it goes blank as they walk behind the vehicle. Additionally, when backing into a parking space, the camera displays, then goes blank as soon as the proximity alert warning beep starts to sound. I’m not sure if the “trigger" is the proximity sensors or the steering sensor since the steering wheel is always turned and the warning beeps are always present.

The rear passenger back door latch is out. Has to be replaced because door will not shut an my toddler almost feel out but I caught him.

The lug nuts on my 2014 Ford Fusion have swollen to the point where they cannot be removed with the tool Ford provided or a standard 4 socket iron wrench. This problem is so severe, aaa was unable to remove the lug nuts after I had a flat requiring a tow for repair of tire. Additionally, the lug nits cam become compromised and cause the rim to become fisplaced while driving.

“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.

We took the car to the Ford dealer for recalls on 6/26/2023. We noticed the car would jolt or slow down when shifting gears. Also would, on occasion, jolt before stopping. We were told that the transmission needed repairs. The cost could vary from 4k to 7k, which we declined and brought our car home, and it can be inspected upon request. The car has a little over 60k miles, and we consistently serviced it. No warning lights or severe problems before being told our vehicle is not driveable until we repair the transmission.
