1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2019

In the summer of last year 2018 I was in a store shopping came out cranked my car, the air would not come on and the windows would not roll down. It was in the 90's that day and even hotter inside my car! the vehicle was stationary at the time in the parking lot. It had this problem the rest of the summer while the temperatures outside was hot. It is April 2019 and just a few days ago we had a warm day around 75 degrees. I left for work stopped at the end of my driveway had the car in park and left my door open while I got the mail. Got back in and again did not have air and could not roll the windows down. Every time this happens the radio will not work either. Last year during the time the air and windows were not working my battery was dead when I was going to go to work one morning. Took it out and went and had it tested at local auto parts store. They said they had never seen a battery that they couldn't read like that before. It's like the battery was fried. Along with those problems last year my car was stationary at home in my driveway and I went to get in my car and my doors were locked I tried the remote and the keyless entry and nothing would unlock my doors. So I had no access to get into my car. A few days later I tried again and it unlocked. I've also came home a couple times at night in the past week and noticed the inside lights where the air/heat & radio controls are is flashing on and off and the outside ground lights under the mirrors on the driver and passenger door are on. I had to unhook battery. No keys in ignition and car is stationary in my driveway. I think this is a major safety issue when you have no air and you can't roll down your windows in hot weather and also when you get locked out of your car. The car is definitely not drivable in hot weather! unknown cause, may possibly be something in the computer or wiring of the car.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2018

I put car in park. When I restarted the car I could not move the shifter. Looked at car display and it said �car not in gear�. The digital read out showed car in park. I had it towed to dealership for repair. They said gear cable was broken. Cost me $585 to repair. Gear on the radio that trucks and SUV being recalled for same issue at no cost. Why was the Fusion left offf this recall?.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 06/11/2017

I tried entering my car after church and the windows would not go down, radio would not turn on, locks would not work (car was just unlocked even though I used my key prior to lock it), and the air/heat controls would not work. The last couple of days in michigan have been quite hot but this day it was close to 93 degrees and it felt like a sauna in my car. I have two young kids that I transport in my car and with the hot weather and no ability for windows to go down or air to be turned on we could basically suffocate. I even waited until the next day (06/12/2017) and the car issues are still present: locks not working, windows not working, radio not working, air not working, and all dash controls not working, and today my key controls (lock, unlock, and alarm) would not work. Even when I started the car this morning to take the kids to school nothing worked so we were in a hot car for about 20 minutes to get them to school before the real hot weather starts.

5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2016

There is a terrible noise inside the car with the windows down, it sounds like there is a military helicopter in the car with you. From dealer to Ford, they say it is "normal" it is a safety issue with the loud noise and vibration inside the car at highway speeds. Also the radio does not tune all the fm radio stations? why? I am told this is normal as well and mine isn't the only car that has these problems.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

Very shortly after first adjusting the steering wheel's tilt and telescope (which may be unrelated), during a short drive, many controls attached to the steering wheel stopped functioning. This included turn signals, cruise control, cell phone controls on the steering wheel, radio volume on steering wheel, and information display controls on the steering wheel. Of these, the turn signals are probably most critical to safe operation. Note that the horn, and the windshield wiper/washer, continued functioning properly. The next morning, a sales representative from the dealership found the vehicle in the same condition, but seemingly was able to restore service by "jiggling" the turn signal lever, indicating to me that it was resting very slightly forward of the normal at-rest position, and recommended service department investigate further. Dealer service department found a circuit board faulty. Part has been ordered for installation. In an abundance of caution, concerned that air bag deployment might be impaired were an accident to occur, the dealer provided substitute transportation pending repair.
