The trunk randomly opens. Sitting in our driveway, going down the highway which does obscure the rear view mirror. It’s happened many times and I haven’t been able to duplicate.

I was trying to move items around in my trunk. As I lifted a bag to pull it out, I felt sharp metal cut deep into my finger. I looked in side and saw that the trunk lid was just the frame with holes and no protective covering at all over the metal frame on the top of my trunk. I did not go to the hospital, but it was very deep and probably needed stitches.

I am writing to let you know of my current difficulties in fixing my Ford Fusion 2016 that had an issue with the door latch. As this problem prevented the door from closing, which raised a safety concern while driving. A recent recall from Ford under the recall number 20s15 (attached) was released on March 24, 2020, to fix this issue for fiesta, Fusion, and mkz. My car fits exactly the affected vehicle's description in the recall. Yet, the certified dealer and Ford decided not to include this in the recall, and I had to pay out of pocket (attached) as the current condition is not safe to drive the car without fixing the door latch. I believe my car should be included in this recall as it is affected by the same problem they described in their announcement.

Passenger door will not close.

My breaks gave way for some odd reason I ran into a cable box trying to control or rather stop the vehicle.

The latch on the driver door is stuck and I am unable to close my door. My car is a 2015 and I bought it used. I have not received a recall on this. I saw that there was a recall for this reason but it does not cover my year. What do I do?.

Trunk opens while vehicle is in motion. Warning light will alert me the trunk is open but it has happened twice over the last week. My knee cannot reach the trunk open button and the key is a fob with a flip out key, so there is no way to have accidently hit the button on the fob while in motion. Nothing in the trunk is high enough to accidently pull the emergency latch.

I purchased this vehicle on Mar 4 2020 at al spitzer Ford in cuyahoga falls, OH with only 11,800 miles. I am getting the run around with their service department. The vehicle does not have a hoodliner insulator installed. It's needed to control temperature, protect paint and reduce engine fires. This is Ford's way along with the dealership to cut costs. The vehicle is covered under warranty and is metallic black which will attract the heat.

The drivers side door showed it was latched there weren’t any lights saying that the drivers side door was open or any other door was opened. I was driving and turning left and all the sudden my drivers side door flew open and struck objects on the side of the road people had placed out for garbage pick up. My safety was put at risk by my drivers side door coming open while I was driving. I started to pull over but by the time I was almost stopped my drivers side door came swinging back and I had my hand out to catch it , it smacked into my left hand bending my wrist back and shoving my elbow in my arm into my side causing excruciating pain. My drivers side door has dents a scratches in it from the objects it smashed into and I have pain in my left fingers and hand and wrist and arm hurts along with the side of my abdomen from being crushed into my side. I also had my head leaning towards the door so when it came flying back at me it hit my head hard. I ended up vomiting and feeling extremely anxious and scared and dizzy I was very stunned. I had shut and closed my drivers side car door and there wasn’t any lights indicating any doors in my vehicle were still open. My 2013 Ford Fusion se had been taken in for several recalls the door actuators where amongst several I had the dealership inspect and they were supposed to have fixed them. I haven’t driven the vehicle since I plan to take it into the dealership and get it checked out. I need make a police report and am calling my auto insurance company in the morning to let them be aware of the issue as well. There weren’t any warning lamps or messages until after the driver side door came open. There is now a warning light on my dashboard. And the lights on my dashboard started flickering. It first happened March 1, 2022.

Went to the grocery store and put the grocery's in the rear passenger area. The door failed to latch properly and had to drive home very slowly. As it was every time we turned, the door would come open.

Door handle open mechanism failed (of driver side door) thus causing a safety issue because you cannot exit the vehicle when inside, except by rolling down the window. This issue has been reported by several other owners.

The trunk lid randomly pops open on it's own requiring you to stop, get out and close it. It has happened repeatedly both when driving and when the car is parked. It does not seem to happen if all of the doors are locked. When it does happen it obscured the rear view and can create an unsafe situation when you have to stop on the road. It has happened many times over the past year.

Door latch failed, noting that similar recall for millions of Fusions were done , my car was not included.

Over the past few days driver side door would not open from the inside of the vehicle. Rolling down the window and opening the door from the outside is the only option in opening the driver side car door. This is a safety concern as if I were ever in need to exit the vehicle in an emergency manner I can not easily or quickly get out of the car we’re under water, on fire, etc. My vehicle is not the only vehicle that is having this issue, I have heard reports from mechanics, other Ford Fusion drivers, and personal experience that Ford Fusions from about 2006-2013 are having this issue. The issue needs to be addressed for safety concerns and is only happening on the drivers side door.

Door latch keeps falling have to roll down the window to open the door from the outside.

Driver side interior door handle stopped working. Unable to open the door from the inside. This is very dangerous if there was an emergency need to exit the vehicle. This happened when I stopped to buy gas and was unable to get out when I turned off the car.

In early spring of 2021 the trunk lid on the 2019 Ford Fusion hybrid opened by itself while driving through the parking lot. I was able to close it. Later that day it did it again. Then I came out to the vehicle to find the trunk open. I had not used the key fob, keypad on the door, or trunk release button that day. On the 16th of April I had a local shop inspect it, but all they could do was disconnect the release latch. I then took it to the dealership for further inspection and diagnosis. They did a number of procedures from reprogramming the bcm, to replacing it. It is now August 30 and the trunk lid is once again opening on its own. This is unsettling at the least, dangerous at its worst. I use the car to teach driver education. This is an unsafe condition and Ford needs to address this malfunction.

The driver door opened while I was driving and I am certain that I closed it before driving. Then, the inner handle prevented my door from being opened from the inside causing me to have to roll down the window to open the door. A week later, today, and the lock handle has now fallen off. Notice photos of broken lock that fell off, also, the door handle has zero tension with only a finger causing the door handle to be inoperable.

Trunk randomly opens on its own. Opens constantly throughout day even when driving down road. Things have blown out of trunk while driving and have caused me to have to pull over on side of road and potentially cause accidents.

Hello, my name is mya owens. Recently I bought a Ford fuision 2010. I am pretty familiar with cars so I understand the commonly routine of taking care of a car. It's been only 30 days. The first first incident that happened on the parkway my car shut completely down. I got it to work back up but then I got a mechanic to do a tune up. Everything went smooth until I drove about 3,000 miles into the car & it told to me check the engine oil and the brakes. By the time I went to start my car up the lighting slowly faded away. Eventually the car shut off completely and almost rolled down the hill. I immediately put the car into park and put on the emergency brakes. Now the car completely shut down. I replaced the spark plugs and everything. I've been reading about recalls on the model of the Ford Fusion 2010. I would like to see if I could either get it fixed or possibly a letter to get a new or similar version from the car models dealership. I've also invested so much money into fixing this car and it just seems to be falling apart. The damage was all of a sudden. There was also an oil leak.

Whenever I unlock my vehicle the trunk opens. Sometimes it opens while driving.

The passenger door latch broke on the inside making the locking mechanism not work or the outside latch . I have seen a recall on other models and makes for this but not mine .

The trunk came open while driving on a street and busted the back windshield out.

The interior door handle on the driver's side front door has stopped working. The driver's door cannot be opened with the door can only be opened from the outside. I can only exit the vehicle by either climbing over the console to the passenger side or putting the window down and using the exterior door handle. Such a basic safety feature as a door handle should last the life of the car. In the event of an accident, it would be difficult, or impossible, to exit the vehicle quickly.

Driver's door will not open from inside. The door can only be opened with the outside handle. This happened while trying to get out of the vehcile in a parking lot.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 mph with the rear windows lowered, the rear of vehicle was shaking violently. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was not available.

I received notice of recall 20s15 / 20v-177 approximately 7 weeks ago, and my dealership has been unable and unwilling to schedule a service appointment after 6 attempts at contact and scheduling. The dealership in question is big mike naughtin Ford 150 s havana st aurora, CO 80012.

The hood latch on my 2013 Ford Fusion broke and would function correctly. This is a terrible design and needs to be fixed. I replaced mine and from the uploaded pictures you can see that the part will eventually have to be replaced again. The plastic bump (circled in red) that the lever grabs on to wears out over time, and when lifted, will not open the hood correctly . It's also not fair that the parts needed have to be purchased separately, cost cutting at its finest .

When I was preparing to exit my vehicle at a construction roadway (I was lost) my drivers' door handle would not open- it flopped. I could not exit. I called my family for help to find out what to do. (I am a senior and could not climb over the stick to use the other door) my family said to lower the window and open the door from the outside and "be carefull!" after that I went home and when I tried to close the door- it would not latch/nor close- once again I called for help and was told to tie the door close thru the windows. Which meant my door was vunable to theft and weather. When I spoke with the Ford dealer service department, I was told that this is "a common problem with older models"(mine is a 2012!). Per the dealer it requires a door lock part. What it tells me is the safety features on "older models" expire with the warranties! but this is why I purchased a Ford!! had I know the "safety features" expire with the warranty, I would have researched which vehicle has the best & longest "safety features"! I now feel unsafe driving this vehicle due to my inabilities to exit in case of an emergency due to faulty/expired "safety features!" it makes me feel I would be trapped without a way out! if this is common-why isn't it stated somewhere for seniors to know in advance- especially before purchasing a Ford with common safety defects!? how many seniors/owners have to become injured or die before Ford reports this as a failed safety feature??!! airbags, seatbelts, . . . - door locks on driver's door should be added to the recall list before it results in many injuries/dealths! it is a cheap part to replace per Ford dealer and could be reason why it is not a recall but at least it should a notice sent to owners so they can avoid it happening to them. Luckly my incident occurred in daytime- this could have been worse at night!?.

While driving on the highway the left driver side front end of the Ford Fusion hit the right rear/side of another car on the highway after being cut off by another car weaving in & out of traffic at a high speed. The Ford Fusion was designated "totaled" by the body shop and insurance adjuster due to the extensive damage. The airbags never deployed. The airbags on this Ford Fusion were part of the airbag recall and were replaced by the Ford dealership within the last 2 years so they should have been in good working order but they never deployed. Very concerning.

I entered my vehicle and closed the door. While backing out of the parking lot a warning sounded. I looked at the dash and the warning light indicated that the front driver side door was open. I pulled the door shut and attempted to close it but it wouldn't stay shut. I put the car in "park", got out and attempted several more times to close the door. No matter how I tried, the door would not latch. I was 53 miles from home and the only way to get there was to drive. I then took an adjustable dog leash, slipped it through the armrest on the door, then looped it around the steering column. This provided a means for me to hold the door closed while I traveled on a highway, then the interstate to get home. This was very disturbing to me because the latch was fine when I drove from home. What could have happened had I been on the highway or interstate when the latch failed.

Fuse continues to pop. The vehicle was driven to a grocery store and after the shopping the vehicle started up briefly then died. We changed the fuse at the parking lot but it popped the fuse again. We ended up having it towed. The mechanic believes it is a fuel pump issue or wiring to the fuel pump. We are on military orders in italy and have been unable to reach Ford to authorize repair since we do have a valid extended warranty. Italian Ford dealers will not work on american spec cars. We have a certified mechanic who has access to Ford but needs the authorization code in order to start repairs and recalls. We are getting the run around with Ford's customer service hotlines and no one seems to be willing to help. We cannot ship the vehicle back to the states with active recalls on it. The vehicle is completely broke down currently. We are upset on how Ford supports its military!.

The trunk randomly opens on it's own while parked.
