1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2025

I have never had this issue before with this car. I started the car up to go to the store and saw all these lights on my dash. I keep my car maintained well. Tires, oil, tune up etc… and when I saw the lights on the dash it said service advance trac and steering loss stop safely with 2 other icons above it. So I didn’t know what that was so I sent to get power fluid not knowing it wasn’t a reservoir. I know Ford had/has a recall on 2016 Ford Fusions model for this exact issue! my steering cannot turn at all I need my car, please I am on disability and it’s not right that the recall won’t cover all Ford of this model with this issue. I beg, I need my car fixed.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2024

The abs module is faulty and light will come on at random times and makes steering hard and braking on right side of vehicle is hard. I have taken it to raceway Ford of hartsville and they are having a hard time getting the part due to it being called obsolete but I think it needs to be on the recall list as well due to it being a safety concern on my vehicle.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2023

The airbags lights showing it is off and not functioning.

5 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2020

I was driving on the highway straight with cruise control set and suddenly it felt like I hit a huge pothole, but I didnt. Shortly after 4 dash lights came on which are the abs, traction control, traction control off, and tire pressure monitor fault. Steering is harder and brakes do not work sometimes. The code, when hooked up comes back as abs module system. Also after this incident the bluetooth in the car disconnects randomly about every 3 days. I have to unhook the battery to rest it to be able to use the bluetooth function again.
