general problems of the 2014 Ford Fusion - part 1

Repeat failures of recall 16s42 Ford is forcing me to handle a recall that failed after repair was done before purchasing of vehicle.

Rear seat belt plastic clasp has broken on both sides and no longer function. Additionally, replacement parts are not available. Children are no longer able to sit in the rear seat. This issue has been reported in online forums.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while wearing the driver's side seat belt, the seat belt failed to retract and was locked. The contact stated that the failure mostly occurred after the vehicle had been parked outside in extreme heat, but the seat belt operated as needed in the morning after the vehicle had been parked in the garage overnight. The contact was unable to secure herself inside the vehicle using the seat belt. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 16v875000 (seat belts); however, the VIN was not included. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

The seat belts are fraying at the stitching and the female end sometimes doesn’t want to let you put seat belts in or after there in they pop out for no reason.

Seatbelt failed during collision did not lock fully extended and did not retract brakes did not engage right away.

Airbag sensor is on. Took to mechanic and the wire that runs thru latch has broken apart. Need to replace latch as well as wiring.

One of the rear seat belts will lock and not release. After you unlatch it, it doesn’t retract properly. I feel this is unsafe and should be fixed by the manufacturer.

The right front passenger seat belt locks when vehicle is not running or in parked preventing use. Cannot secure passenger before driving. Often happens in warmer weather.

In August of 2020 I got in contact with Ford about my recalls I took to Ford dealership they kept my car for about 2 days I told them my driver seat belt will not lock I mentioned no power very sluggish and gear didnt kick in proper. On April 11 2021 while on freeway in traffic the car would turn off go back on and shift into gear on its own I was almost hit from behind as I almost hit someone in front of me because the car shut off I threw in neutral press the gas and car started up and jerked while car picked up speed then slowed on its own I now put in reverse it goes forward seat belt still dont work I work an hour away from home and scared to get in car. 2014 Ford Fusion.

The backseat of driver's side seat belt locked and kept my child restrained. This occurred after I pulled into a parking lot and put the car in park. After multiple attempts of trying to loosen the belt then I eventually had to cut the seat belt with scissors in order to get my child out.

I rear-ended a 2002 Dodge ram. A guy was mad that I blew at him because he slept the previous traffic light and slammed on brakes at a green turning arrow and I hit him, he kept going. My whole front end is damaged. Air bags should've come out.

I purchased the vehicle used from a local mercedes dealership (April 2018) with multiple open recalls. One of the recalls was 16s42. On may 2, 2018, the vehicle was brought to a local Ford dealer where they "corrected" the open recalls. In February 2020, my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident on the interstate. There was a construction zone that brought traffic to a stop and she was rear-ended by an SUV at speeds between 45-60 mph totaling the vehicle while it was at a stop. She was the only occupant and was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the cash. The airbags did not deploy and the driver seatbelt did not lock causing her head to strike the steering wheel. She didn't remember if she lost consciousness or not, however, she was later diagnosed with a concussion. The vehicle has since been totaled and was taken into possession by the insurance company. I am unaware of any inspection of the seatbelt that was performed after the crash. I do possess photographs of the vehicle. There were no warning lights active prior to the crash.

Didn't receive anything about this problem whatsoever.

2 wires that connect to the seat belt buckle came out of their place resulting in the airbag light coming on.

I have lost ability to accelerate while driving on highway and vehicle would not go above 40 mph on I-20, a 70mph road system, car jolts or jumps even without foot on accelerator so that I have no control over the car's acceleration. Gas gauge jumps wildly and randomly from 22 mpg to 99 mpg. Brake lights and other lighting systems remain on when car is completely shut down and headlights and interior lights are turned to off position. Additionally, after the car is in park and turned off, vehicle will jump forward several inches. Several additional inconsistent light issues when car is turned on and off. Passenger seatbelt does not work. Problems began 2018 and continue to present day. Local Ford dealership unconcerned and unhelpful in prioritizing the repairs after multiple calls and direct discussion with service manager.

Seatbelt locks up when you try to hook it on passenger side. Vehicle not moving but running.

I bought my 2014 Ford Fusion from used car lot had it for 2 years I keep maintenance up in timely manner. About 6 to 8 months ago my car has no power when driving it jerks like I was hit from behind and when changing lanes I try to speed up I press gas pedal but car goes nowhere only high revving sound takes a minute to pick up speed its uses alot of gas and 4 months my seat belt has trouble locking in belt. I still have and drive my car to and from work but its only getting worse.

I received notice of a recall in November 2016 involving my seatbelts being unable to properly restrain me during an accident. It is still notated that Ford hasn't found a remedy to the problem. I feel like I have been patient considering my life may be on the line over this but I would like something to be done to correct the problem. Considering I drive approximately 100 miles per day on a commute to work, I would like to feel safe doing it and knowing that my seatbelt may not restrain me is a huge problem. Can you please look into why they aren't fixing this major issue in a timely manner. There has been no accident to date but I am concerned about my safety if one was to occur.
