Engine catastrophicly over revs when charging and plugged in phev plug.
According to auto zone, after being placed on scanner, the power train system (p0456) has a evaporative emissions system leak (very small leak) diagnosed at 76,919miles. Ford dealership says they cannot find a problem. When I put gas in the car I have to sit and wait at least 10 minutes before my car will start again. It takes a couple of tries and much hesitation, but it will start. Once you get started it has difficulty accelerating or may slow down on its own. Again, Ford dealership reports they can't seem to find a problem. When I told them the problem, they came up with a price to charge me to fix something they could not find. Ridiculous!! my Ford app clearly states check engine problem detected, but nooooo they cannot find anything wrong. Two different dealerships. Thank god I keep my paperwork because others are complaining of the same thing. They have to put the pen to the paper or we will never get a recall.
Coolant leak in engine.
2019 Ford Fusion se 1. 5l. Not made aware of csp on my car. Have dealer notes saying my car wasn’t listen in oasis for notification. Although when I found the csp online my car is an “affected vehicle”. I now have low coolant, white exhaust smoke and severe knocking from my engine. I had a first ever reported issue to the dealership in 05/2023 where my car stalled out and dash lights illuminated. They ran codes and the only documented code in the service paperwork was p0222. They found a “chaffed wire”. They did not upgrade my pcm. Although by 05/2023 that was the recommendation on the csp for the dealership to do after previously failed bandaid fixes by Ford. My car will be going to the dealership on 12/9/24 to address my concerns and request all of my detailed service records. And really figure out why exactly the dealership didn’t complete anything issued in the csp especially when I was taking my car to the dealership for routine maintenance. I am within the 6 or 7 years and 84k miles or whatever it is now. It continuously changes but honestly I am quite upset that faulty engines aren’t being recalled by Ford but Ford will issue a recall on back up cameras. Like seriously. Engine > camera a faulty back up camera is probably not the same level of fire/safety risk as the faulty engines Ford continues to refuse to recall.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion energi. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v440000 (electrical system) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
I was driving down the road like normal and then it stopped wanting to go. The screen on the dash said see manual and had a little orange wrench. The car stopped going. It was still running but I pushed on the gas and it wouldn’t go. I stopped and the car was running rough. I turned it off and then turned it back on. The problem went away and it drove like normal again.
Transmission issues rise no matter how many times I fix it. Last time I drove it the transmission lock up the front wheels at 45 mph nearly causing a head on collision with me and my girlfriend and little brother in the car.
A recall on the electrical system of my plug in hybrid does not allow me to use the electrical portion of my vehicle. The main reason I purchased this vehicle was to use all electric with the option of having a gas powered vehicle. Until this is remedied, the dealership said that I cannot charge my vehicle. This was the major selling point of this vehicle. I also cannot sell this vehicle because no dealership will purchase this vehicle with this major recall (that has been issued with no remedy since June of last year (10 months ago).
Battery went dead, replaced battery, check engine light came on, got a diagnostic check on it, come to find out my purge valve needs to be replace. Every time we get gas, the car doesnt want to start up. Trying to find the part to replace purge valve assembly line is almost near zero. The car has only 65,000 miles on it and its a 2019 forf Fusion titanium ecoboost.
Ford has still not provided a satisfactory fix for this recall. It has been 139 days since the recall was issued. Now Ford is putting a stop/hold on their initial recall fix and has instructed their dealers to return recall parts and to put a stop sale on any vehicles in their inventory. This has resulted in a drastic depreciation of my vehicle. Not only does Ford not have a solution to the problem, but now they have left me with a car that is unsellable which is causing massive economic harm to me. Ford now says there is no interim fix (perhaps until late 2024) this is absurd. Ford should buy these vehicles back from all affected owners ASAP. Please compel Ford to do something about this and make things right!.
I received a recall notice in June 2023 from Ford announcing a recall for my 2019 Ford Fusion energi plug-in hybrid. The notice stated that there is a chance of fire from the high voltage battery and bcm (battery control module). Ford stated a fix will be issued. This was over 1 year ago. The interim remedy from Ford is asking all 2019-2020 owners to stop charging their vehicles until a fix is issued. This disables a large portion of the car's functionality, performance and efficiency. As Fusion energi owners, we paid a hefty premium for a phev, and instead we have a very inefficient and poor performing standard hybrid. Ford has not communicated any updates in the past 8 months, and when I call dealers there is no indication of when a fix will be made available. I'm ready to give up. If you are looking to purchase a used 2019-2020 Fusion energi, I suggest you wait until there is a resolution for this issue.
Recall issued 6/23 23s33- over 7 months and Ford has not corrected this serious problem, nor is there anything in the updates to lead one to believe they have an interest in doing so. I have spent hours trying to coerce this company to do something, but to no avail!! how much longer will you allow them to get away with this!!! a serious fire, or collision may result!! must someone die in order for you to take action!!.
Re. Recall 23v-440 issued June 2023 as of March 2025 (one year and 9 months later), on remedy. They now claim one will be available 3q25, but they also estimated a fix 3q24. This is an unacceptable amount of time to not have a fix and have a formal recommendation not to charge the vehicle.
This is an unresolved safety-related recall that Ford has not scheduled for repair. The recall notice was published in mid-2023. Car does not perform as advertised as plug-in charging is advised as a potential fire and driving hazard. Repeated contacts with Ford have not resulted in addressing the failure of parts involved. The inability to charge the battery results in increased operating costs.
Last year on or about may or June 2023, I received a safety recall 23s33 from Ford. I had experienced a similar recall with my 2018 Chrysler pacifica phev. Up until the time a fix was identified, Chrysler offered monthly debit cards of $200 to compensate for additional expense of gasoline that would not have been incurred but for the recall. Later, Chrysler offered reimbursement for the the additional expense of a rental vehicle. The only benefit or compensation for the inconvenience and expense of not being able to charge my 2019 Ford Fusion phev is a single $200 debit card sent during the holiday season in late 2023. I have called Ford asking the status of a fix as well as any customer benefit available for this recall for which I was told my Ford there was none. This month will be one full year since the recall and Ford has failed to 1) provide periodic updates on the status of a fix, 2) provided any customer benefit such as debit cards, rental car reimbursement, or buy back benefit. I am extremely concerned that if the NHTSA does not immediately sanction or fine Ford for - at best - poor customer service or - at worst - negligent business practices, the result will be little to no incentive for automobile manufacturers to promptly rectify defective parts in their vehicles or, even worse, little to no incentive to avoid manufacturing vehicles with a foreseeable risk of serious defects. Given almost an entire year since the recall, I strongly advocate that the NHTSA take immediate and meaningful action on behalf of impacted Ford customers to require Ford to provide cash compensation (debit cards), reimbursement (for alternative car rental), or customer friendly buy-back options for those subject to the recall since may 2023.
My vehicle had a recall opened nearly a year ago. The recall is 23s33 phev battery cell degradation. I had taken my car into the dealership nearly a dozen times over the course of almost 2 years prior to the recall being announced. I was told not to charge a car that I bought for that specific purpose. Initially a solution was posted of replacing the battery which was then removed. So there very much is a remedy available, they just don't want to pay the cost to provide that remedy. I am attaching a saved image of the recall from Ford's website that under remedy specifically states what the remedy is. The longer they wait the less of these vehicles will be on the road due to accidents and such. So the longer they delay the less they have to spend to solve the issue. Meanwhile customers are not only unable to charge a vehicle that we bought for that purpose, but are driving a car Ford has admitted is dangerous. As it's a hybrid electric the battery is still being used everytime we drive the car.
*upon check engine light, oriellys advised of misfire on p0301- installed following day due to part shipping to store. Day after coil ignition and spark plug replacement, engine light came back on which mechanic said not to worry as long as car isnt shaking. The following day after taking kids to school, the battery died at the school. With only the check engine light on I waited 10 minutes and the car started. On my way home on the highway, the car just stalled in the middle of the highway. There was a brief alarm stating coolant temperature high turn off car. Several dealerships advised soonest availability was December. I needed my car ASAP. I had it towed to pepboys who did a full diagnostic and provided documentation saying I'd need a new engine. 78250 miles, premium gas, annual premium treatment at oil changes with royal purple, schedule a tuneup with diagnostic, new tires, wash tub monthly cleans. I treat my car better than I do my kids. I called Ford and asked about warranty info which they advised the only way to see if warranty covers it is to have a certified dealership diagnostic. After searching for days, I finally got one to do the diagnostic and said there is an issue with the coolant destroying the engine. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? *extremely dangerous with car stalled in middle of highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? *Ford dealership servicer and third party service shop were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? engine light was addressed promptly and coolant error message showed up once ever when the car abruptly stalled in the middle of highspeed traffic Ford refused to help after escalation attempt to have them pay for faulty product or lemon buyback.
Smoke coming from engine and exhaust pipe overheating coolant consumption issues engine misfire and damage total engine failure safety was put at risk, the engine could have failed on a major highway. The problem is confirmed by Ford and did not cover the total cost of repair car still runs terrible.
On my 2019 Ford Fusion the check engine light came on for my fuel system. It is reading that I have a faulty purge valve. The code was p0456.
