A number of times last summer when really hot with the car out in the sun, the driver side seat belt would not pull open enough to allow buckling. One time I had just enough room to buckle, but it was a very tight and uncomfortable restraint. Must be the spring retracting mechanism? was fine all fall and winter, but can’t risk not being repaired/replaced.

In August of 2020 I got in contact with Ford about my recalls I took to Ford dealership they kept my car for about 2 days I told them my driver seat belt will not lock I mentioned no power very sluggish and gear didnt kick in proper.

Dealer that sold me this vehicle never informed me about any recalls and than one day my son was checking the oil while stationary and off we thought it was weird that there was a loose cable, he connects it and than he proceeded to turn on the car to our astonishment the airbag light turn on, we took it to emissions and that's when we found out how endangered our lives were, of we would have known this before, we wouldn't have gotten the car. We nearly got wrecked today on 03/04/2021, I was more scared of the vehicle in which I am than the car that nearly crashed me. . . I don't want to die in an instance of being involved in a car crash and have no money to afford another vehicle. And as we were leaving the house a few days later after 02/03/2021, my daughter in the passenger seat tried putting on her seatbelt but of no avail as the seatbelt wouldn't clip.

The backseat of driver's side seat belt locked and kept my child restrained. This occurred after I pulled into a parking lot and put the car in park. After multiple attempts of trying to loosen the belt then I eventually had to cut the seat belt with scissors in order to get my child out.

The dash lit up notifying of a parking brake error while driving. Got home, parked car, turned car off. Went inside for about two minutes. When came back outside, there was smoke rolling out of the window. Put fire out. After examining, the fire appeared to have started from something electrical in the center counsel on the right side. It caught the seat on fire, melted the counsel, and the roof. No smoking of any sort has been allowed in my car since I got it. It was stationary when the fire started, but it was immediately after being driven.

Last year I took my Fusion in for a couple of recalls at gary smith Ford. One of the two recalls regarded my front passenger seatbelt.

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 back driver side seat belt is stuck and will not come out. The retractor keeps locking up. The vehicle was not in a collision. The breaks were not ever hit hard. It worked fine the day before. The next morning, my child tried to strap herself up and it would not come out. The vehicle was stationary in the drive way. The other seatbelts work fine.

Seat belt locks when folding down rear seat back making the seat and seatbelt unusable. This occurs when stationary and also when in motion. And, it happens every time.

Door lock keeps door from closing shifter cable broken air bag light keeps coming on.

Car had a coolant leak motor started to run hot, don't know if it's from a recall, got it repaired at the dealer where I got the car from, told them bout the defect/recall and was charged $819. Rear seat belt gets stuck when folding seat down causing it not to fold back up.

Iissue 1) put the back seat down to get into trunk and it wont go back up due to the seat belts issue. Because I dont really use the back seat, I havent bothered to get it fixed and pay for it out of my pocket. 2) driving over 55 mph, car lost power steering. I see others have had same issues with these 2 components of the 2013 Fusion, yet no recall. This makes no sense to me.

I took my car to have the airbag recall fixed and the dealership told me my airbags being replaced won't make my airbag light on the dash go off. It is something something else idk they wanted to charge me to diagnose it. It just doesn't make sense they are fixing the airbags yet the airbag light will not go off even after they are replaced. Makes absolutely no sense.

I rear-ended a 2002 Dodge ram. A guy was mad that I blew at him because he slept the previous traffic light and slammed on brakes at a green turning arrow and I hit him, he kept going. My whole front end is damaged. Air bags should've come out.

I was in a car accident that ultimately totaled the car. The airbag under the driver side dash came out but the airbag in the steering wheel did not come out nor did the seatbelt lock.

I veered off into a ditch and hit the other side of it.

First episode: driver's seat belt locked prematurely while in motion ~35mph, no special circumstances, not braking rapidly. At next red light, I unbuckled but could not draw belt out more than a few inches. Pulled into a parking lot, opened and closed door a few times and finally got belt to pull out far enough to rebuckle and drive home. Since then, seat belt also locks intermittently after few inches of extension upon initial car entry and first buckle-in. Opening and closing door and multiple pulls eventually releases belt enough to buckle, but then it becomes slack while driving. Problem first started late Feb-early March, but definitely before March 16, 2020 when santa clara county shelter-in-place order started. It has escalated since then. . . Warming weather? I drive to my pediatric practice and the newborn unit at our local hospital 4-5 times/week despite pandemic. I'm concerned that if belt is locking inappropriately at vehicle startup and slackening during normal driving, it may fail to lock in a crash.

Drivers side seat belt locks up, and constantly has trouble retracting.

Passenger rear seat belt latch not allowing seatbelt to latch, have to try several times before latch will work, this is usually when the vehicle is parked and not in motion.

I purchased the vehicle used from a local mercedes dealership (April 2018) with multiple open recalls. One of the recalls was 16s42. On may 2, 2018, the vehicle was brought to a local Ford dealer where they "corrected" the open recalls. In February 2020, my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident on the interstate. There was a construction zone that brought traffic to a stop and she was rear-ended by an SUV at speeds between 45-60 mph totaling the vehicle while it was at a stop. She was the only occupant and was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the cash. The airbags did not deploy and the driver seatbelt did not lock causing her head to strike the steering wheel. She didn't remember if she lost consciousness or not, however, she was later diagnosed with a concussion. The vehicle has since been totaled and was taken into possession by the insurance company. I am unaware of any inspection of the seatbelt that was performed after the crash. I do possess photographs of the vehicle. There were no warning lights active prior to the crash.

I put the rear driver side rear seats down (the 60 of the 60/40 rear seats) and the seat will not come back up. The middle seatbelt is locked in position making putting the seat up impossible. The vehicle was stationary on a level surface.

The seatbelt has came apart inside. You can look inside the one that's broken and the good one and see there is a piece missing or broken.

The steering wheel is getting stuck it feelslike which made me rin off road I also had to cut seat belt on back seat cause it wouldnt raise up. Also fuel pump is going out and this is not right.

Seat belts in back seat on both sides do not come out . While trying to pull out the belts they keep locking up as if it was pulled out to fast, but it doesn't matter the speed you pull them out. I can not have people in the backseats. It is not safe.

Didn't receive anything about this problem whatsoever.

On September 26, 2014, I was involved in an accident as we were driving on a city street to where my passenger seat belt did not work upon frontal head on impact or my airbags didnt go off causing me to collide into the dash board. This caused ligament tearing in my right hand/shoulder as that was the initial impact. Now I have to continue to suffer from limitations on the use of my right hand/shoulder complications. For the brake issue beginning December 1, 2019. It has come up that the emergency brake is sticking and tearing through my brakes as I am driving on the street or even highway causing it to smoke around my back tires. I nearly lost my life once, and do not want it to happen again, but when checking brake recalls it's only up to a 2010 model and I have a 2012 model. This issue has caused the padding on my breaks to completely disappear leaving me unable to come to a stop.

2 wires that connect to the seat belt buckle came out of their place resulting in the airbag light coming on.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 70 mph, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a cement structure. During the crash, the vehicle sustained damage to the front driver's side. The air bags did not deploy. Also, the driver's side seat belt locking mechanism became jammed and the driver could not immediately exit the vehicle. The vehicle was towed from the scene. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The cause of the failures was not determined. Liberty Ford brunswick (3101 center rd, brunswick, OH) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 40,000.

The drivers side seat belt all of a sudden stop working when I got out of the car one day. When I returned to the car after an hour, the belt wouldn't latch. Nothing was dropped in the latch, the car was stationary, never been in an accident with a person in the vehicle. All other parts and all other seat belts work.

The rear seatbelts ratchet down continuously causing the rear passengers to have to take them off and rebuckle them.
