1 O2 Sensor problem of the 2011 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 04/09/2021

After having the takata airbag recall taken care of by franklin Ford Lincoln the engine oil light was on and the battery kept draining and had to be replaced today. Ford claims that they did nothing incorrect in the recall but prior to taking my car to Ford the battery and 02 sensor were in fine working order. After the recall they were not. After replacing the battery today the car still hesitates to start and the ac system keeps making a clicking noise. This was not happening before the recall was performed. I don't think that my car will ever be the same and it is all due to Ford Lincoln of franklin replacing the airbags.

3 O2 Sensor problem of the 2010 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 10/18/2019

In motion on highway with cruise control car dashboard shows �stop safely now� loose acceleration. Turn car off then back on and can drive. Check engine light on. Told vacuum pump creating issue. Replaced and car okay. While in motion on highway during acceleration �stop safely now� entire car shuts down while driving. Loss of brakes, steering, acceleration. Get car towed back to shop and told acid leak degraded wire harness. But also told they can't ensure the car will be fixed from repairing. How does a battery leak so bad without any cracks. No shop can confirm the acid leak is causing the brake issue. Possible abs module, electronic control, O2 sensor replacement too.

4 O2 Sensor problem of the 2010 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 09/17/2019

We had driven to a football game, when we returned to the car it would not start. All the lights worked, it turned over perfectly every time, but it would not start. Had it towed to the mechanic in the morning and it started for them. However, after multiple test they were able to get it to stop starting. Checked the codes and it said O2 sensor. Replaced O2 sensor. Car died on my way home from the mechanic while pulling out onto the highway from a stop sign where vehicles are traveling 60mph with my two small children in the car. Terrifying! I barely chugged across the lanes and got the nose of my car on the shoulder. I turned the car off and after a few tries it restarted. When I got home, I took the battery cables off the battery for the weekend as I read that could help the faulty computer issue. So far, I have not experienced this issue again. A couple of weeks before this, I noticed that at speeds of 50 mph the car felt like it was speeding up and slowing down really fast like pulsing.

5 O2 Sensor problem of the 2014 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

The O2 sensor has burnt out, & has been burnt out for a while. After refueling at any gas station the vehicle will not start up immediately after the key is turned. It takes several attempts to get the engine to recieve fuel & to turn over, and even then it struggles to start up or keep running. I have tried different patterns of pressing the gas pedal, alternating pressure & time without finding a reliable method. The vehicle has turned off if I do not keep the mph above 15mph for at least 10 minutes, & if I stop for longer than 60seconds, it sometimes turns off. This has caused issues in light traffic, especially with the difference in speed between my car shutting off & coasting, & cars passing at 25mph or greater. The dealership refuses to acknowledge that the O2 sensor has issues, but my personal mechanic had confirmed the issue after I had the vehicle inspected at a branch of the automotive repair chain midas. After having the sensor replaced at meineke in sept 2016, it burnt out again in October 2016. Attached is the repair reciept which we finally found today while packing for our move.
