7 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2020

Fuse continues to pop. The vehicle was driven to a grocery store and after the shopping the vehicle started up briefly then died. We changed the fuse at the parking lot but it popped the fuse again. We ended up having it towed. The mechanic believes it is a fuel pump issue or wiring to the fuel pump. We are on military orders in italy and have been unable to reach Ford to authorize repair since we do have a valid extended warranty. Italian Ford dealers will not work on american spec cars. We have a certified mechanic who has access to Ford but needs the authorization code in order to start repairs and recalls. We are getting the run around with Ford's customer service hotlines and no one seems to be willing to help. We cannot ship the vehicle back to the states with active recalls on it. The vehicle is completely broke down currently. We are upset on how Ford supports its military!.

10 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2020

I called my dealer to schedule a service appointment for safety recall notice 20s15 NHTSA recall 20v-177 door latch replacement. I was informed that they are not replacing the door latch unless I am having issues. Isn't this a risk and wouldn't them replacing the door latch now resolve any problems, if there are any, in the future? the dealer is Ford of upland | 555 w. Foothill blvd. , upland, CA 91786.

11 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2020

I opened the rear driver door, placed groceries in the back seat, and attempted to shut the door. The door wouldn't latch shut at this point. The latch was in the open position and I could emulate the striking plate with a screwdriver and it would close, but there wasn't any resistance when sliding the screw driver out. I suspect that supporting spring broke. The dealership confirmed the issue was the door latch and neither the dealership or Ford customer support would consider my car was affected by the same issue as many other recalled Ford vehicles because the VIN was not associated with a recalled factory. I just want to make sure that due diligence is done to ensure that there is not another batch of vehicles with a safety issue that has already been deemed worthy of a recall.

Driving from CA to CO for christmas. While driving down the road, the "door open" light came on and the chime sounded as locked left rear door opened!! unacceptable for a company that has made vehicles for over 100 years! I did a google search on the problem looking for a fix. I found a recall for years 2013-2014 only. No recall for my 2015, when it is obvious the cost saving measures still apply. I had to tie the door closed with the seatbelt, but it's not tight enough to keep the warnings off. No one can sit in the back seat due to seatbelts being used! we are afraid the other door latches will soon fail as well. We still have to drive back to CA!.

Left rear door of a 2015 Fusion,( 21,000 miles) swung open while making a right turn from one city street to another city street. Fortunately no one was sitting in rear seat by that door. The door would not stay closed. Car was taken to dealer and door latch had to be replaced. It is to be determined if the extended warranty will cover the cost of repairs.

23 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2018

I was driving my car at the day time and I wanted to avoid a deer crossing the road, the car steering wheel locked up and could not turned the wheel. Consequently, the car hits a tree and got totally damage. When the car hits the tree, the airbags deployed but did not stay inflated, but instead deployed deflated. I was seriously injuried and got transported to the trauma center in atlanta for examination. The reason I am reporting this complain is that my car Ford Fusion 2015 is on recall by Ford company. On may 22/2018, I took the car to the Ford dealership located in the city I live to fixed the problem. The same day the company called me that the problem is fixed and the car needs to be pick up. What I did. My accident happened on the third day after the work. So, I did not know if the real problem is fixed. If yes, why the steering wheel is locked and I couldn,t control the car? before the accident, I often avoid deers on the raod and nothing happened. Why the accident happened at this time? after the accident, the police came and the rescue team came to the place and they will made the reports to the insurance company for claims. But I have to do this to the official department to investigate the problem and to take the appropriate action against Ford company. This will save other citizen live on the road. Thanksto be to the god that I am alive. I got minor injuries on my arms but feel pains in some parts of my body. The doctor prescribed some pain killers tha I am using now. The exam did not show any internal problem but I have to be monitorized for eventual issues. I am a student I could not go to school at this moment. This issue is serious and need to be taken seriously. The car could not be fixed and run. My insurance will do the rest but I am very concerned about the the amount of the bills that gonna come out. So, please, officials, I need your help. Tha.

25 Body problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2017

On my commute to work, the passenger door flew up by itself. No one was in the vehicle with me thank god and also it was a single lane road. I pulled over immediately, realized that my latch was not latching and it seems to be broken. Tied the door together with my belt and drove to the nearest gas station. Bought some tension bands to hold the door from flying open. When I called Ford about my issue, they advise there was nothing they can do because my warrently expired and there is no recall on my vehicle. I showed and explained to the rep that there are other Ford Fusions with similar issues. She ran my VIN and told me that I was not eligiable and that I would have to come out of pocket $535. . . . . Called ther customer service number, the rep told me that she will file my claim and I will receive an email letting me know if Ford will fix it or not. That never happened and it's been two weeks going on 3 I have been riding round with my door tied up until I can come up with the funds to fix it.

Recently, while traveling from chicago, IL to las vegas nevada, I experienced mechanical issues with my 2015 Ford Fusion. The car broke down in las vegas, nevada, where I took it to a local repair shop, due to the closeness of the where it broke down. The repair shop stated that they would need a few days to diagnose the vehicle. Unfortunately, I had no more days to stay in vegas, as I needed to return home. Thus, I flew back to chicago, and left my car in las vegas, nevada in the care of the repair shop for testing and diagnosis and repair. The repair shop called and stated that my car needed a new transmission. This befuddled me, as my car was just barely two years old and has low mileage. Upon doing some research, I found that Ford Fusions from 2013-2016 have known mechanical issues with the transmission and many have already been recalled. I called the Ford corporate office after the repair shop advised that the transmission needed replacing. I was advised to have the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership. I had the car towed to friendly Ford, where I am waiting for the diagnosis to be completed. However, I was already advised that if in fact the transmission needs to be replaced, it would be take approximately 4-6 weeks to be completed. This presents a tremendous inconvenience to me, as I am in chicago and my vehicle is 1800 miles away from me, essentially useless to my day to day activities which include school, work, doctors� appointment etc. I am a full-time student, and work full time. Unfortunately, recently I have become very ill and have had to catch rides to my various doctors� appointments. Getting around has been significantly challenging with no vehicle. I believe that Ford knew that there were transmission failures on and failed to recall all of them to save money, and avoid expensive repair costs on poorly.

Driver side passenger door handle broke and the latch to lock the door to the frame does not hold unless manually pushing the latch on the door itself down to enable the latch to catch and hold the bar on the frame. Otherwise, the door is not secured to the frame. The door handle has been sticking for a few days and on Sunday may 21, 2017 I tried to open the driver side passenger door and the handle pulled away from the door and would not open. I had to open the said door from the inside. I tried pushing the handle back in and it would not push in. It is dangerous and afraid the door may open during vehicle operation.
