9 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2015 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 07/01/2023

The rear backup camera does not work at all. I am elderly and cannot turn my head over my shoulders. The screen is constantly blue when I need to reverse and the message that the camera is malfunctioning is on the blue screen. Ford has a lot of rear camera issues on their late modle vehicles. They have admitted that vehicles going back to when they introduced the rear cameras that they do not work and it seems that the Fusions have been forgotten about. This is wrong way to think and we need a recall. I have friends and family that have affected vehicles and we are all complaining. Ford needs to own up to this and they need to do right or we will not be buying Ford anymore. Do better Ford,lives are at stake.

13 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2016 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 04/10/2020

Cross traffic system fault and blind spot system fault warnings intermittently appear. When this happens the climate control, entertainment control shuts off. All windows other than the driver's window cannot be operated from the driver's control. Other controls on the touchscreen become inoperable. The windshield wipers will turn on and swipe once or twice even though there is no moisture and low humidity. These things will happen while driving and then go back to normal operation while driving two to 20 minutes later. My concern is that there is a module or system that is malfunctioning and while it hasn't been a safety issue yet, I worry that at some point I may be driving and the errors may cause loss of steering or braking or engine to turn off or accelerate or lights may turn off at night which would have a potential to injure or cause a fatal occurrence to myself, my family or an innocent person that happens to be near me. These issues have been going on for quite awhile and no one can seem to find a solution. It was looked at by a Ford dealer, independent mechanics and reported to Ford to establish a record with them. One mechanic feels it is all related to the bcm body control module. I am giving a date below because that is required. The issues began prior to that date and many times since. That is the date we started keeping records.
