1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2020

I purchased the car on October 21st of 2019. I have had nothing but issues with this car basically sense purchasing it. I bought the car with 54,000 miles. I was up to about 74,000 with the need to replace a motor. I did so, before I replaced the motor the battery light was on. I changed the alternator believing that would be the issue, I also replaced the belt with it thinking I might as well. Still battery light was on. So I even went and changed the battery and still a battery light. I have dumped nothing but money into this car sense purchasing it. I have been reading nothing but issues with these 2017 Ford Fusions ans believe Ford needs to be held accountable for this because so many others are experiencing these issues and now I believe the ecm is going to be replaced. I bought this car thinking a new car would be a good investment for my family and to go back and fourth to work which has been not the case. I have had old war horse trucks with over 200k miles run and drive but knew they would need to upgraded to a newer family car. I really do not think Ford is taking account for the real issues they are having with their new vehicles they are selling to the public who are trying to make a living and with constant electrical problems that just isn't right. Basic maintenance is understandable but to have all of these issues just seems unacceptable.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2019

While driving the vehicle three block from my house the engine shut down and would not re-start. I pushed it into a parking lot and attempted to jump start it with no luck. I had it towed to airport marina Ford 5880 w. Centinela Ave, los angeles, CA. 90045. My vehicle has been at Ford service for three days and they have not been able to figure out the issue. The service advisor said they problem may be caused by the high voltage regulator or the transmission. My vehicle only has approximately 52,000 miles.
