Owners/service Manual problems of the 2016 Ford Fusion

The accessory protocol interface module (apim) fails after a few years, leaving the car phone inoperable on the sync system, forcing the user to manually dial and place calls on their cell phone while driving, which has become illegal in many states as it takes the drivers eyes off the road for periods at a time. The Ford Fusion also has issues with leakage in the trunk. I was under the assumption that I was the only one, until searching the internet to find that various Fusion owners have experienced the same issue. I believe this is a safety issue, because it may start to affect the lights in the trunk or any other electrical systems that run through it, start to rust areas in the trunk, and cause mold if not properly dried immediately.

As I was driving the wrench symbol came on (see manual), then abs, traction control, engine fluid temp, no directionals, no heat or directionals, no dash lights, low tire pressure, and hill assist lights all came on and off. I was doing highway speeds. While this is a new to me car I have always had Fords including an excursion and more recently an 07 focus that died at 300,000. I never had any issues with them albeit they were both new. I am totally disappointed in this vehicle and it really has me thinking about never buying a Ford again.

At random times when the car is departing on city streets or highway, the car would stop shifting out of second gear. I would manually shift it to neutral then back to drive and it would drive normal through the first gear then shift to second gear and stay in second gear until I stop and repeat the process, first gear then second gear then stuck and repeat. No one has been able to find out what's wrong with my car's drivetrain system. Multiple certified mechanics have informed me to contact Ford for recalls on this car's powertrain system however Ford says they have no recalls on this model. This seems like a manufacturing defect and is a very dangerous problem since it happens unexpectedly at random time.

I sent this to Ford company: dear mr. Hackett, I would like to address about my 2016 Ford Fusion problem that happened yesterday, July 4, 2018. I was driving from my grocery shopping when all of a sudden my car will not accelerate anymore and it was sliding backward. Not sure if sliding backwards was due to slightly uphill or another problem on top of car wouldn't drive anymore. On my dashboard a wrench drawing appeared with a message �refer to your manual�. This happened at the intersection of redwood pkwy and oakwood in vallejo CA. This was very dangerous. I put the car on park �p� turned off the ignition and set the e-break with my lights hazard on. I had to call 911 to avoid accident. They sent a police patrol to escort me while my car is blocking the traffic. You see my car was bought brand new and only have less than 5k milage. This kind of problem should not happened. I googled 2016 Fusion to see common problems and this is one of them. Your company must be aware of this, yet, it continue to happen. I hope Ford is not waiting for somebody to perish before taking actions, I had my car brought to Ford Lincoln fairfield CA. I am a single earner and starting today I have to take uber to get to park and ride since this is the only car I have. I want action from your company pertaining to this kind of problem. Thank you, rosalina acree.

This a complaint about our Ford Fusion 2016. The problem has started couple months ago, while driving, and sometimes as we start the car, it ripple and kick and the check engine light and see manual light turn on and after 30 min. To an hour they turn off. The engine has completely died on us twice. We have taken the car to Ford once and they've told us that the problem has been fixed, but it's still doing the same thing after 2 weeks. This is a safety issue especially since my family, wife and 2 daughters, ride in this vehicle. The same problem happened yesterday, Sunday the 30th of October and we have taken the car in this morning.
