Front passenger door stopped closing on the 10th of July without any warning so I am forced into driving with a partially closed door tied with rope and I see that multiple people have filed a complaint about the same problem.

Rear passenger seat belt will not release lock/tension/broken. Will not allow rear occupants to buckle in. Safety issue. Seems to happen on most 2013+ Ford vehicles specifically trims like titanium with a 'inflatable belt" this issue should be recalled free of charge, it is a major safety issue not to be able to use a seatbelt. The best remedy would be inspect and replacement of broken components. Both occurred over 80k miles one being a truck (entirely different vehicle).

My driver heating element in my seat stopped working. I went to get it fixed and that’s when they noticed the charred heating pad in the seat had burnet makers on it. I have picture showing that the electrical part in the heating pad indicator has black marks around the wires and burnt through the pad and the electrical coils. The seat under the leather part had damage to it. This would have caused a fire. I’m very lucky. I bought the part on [xxx]. I just want to be reimburse from Ford dealership the part cost.

Took car to dealer because the dash light came on what looked like airbag needed replacement. ? I had had that done so they checked and told me it was a weight bar in passenger seat that was lighting up. Does that not protect person from collision and trigger airbag if u have accident. ?? would that not be a necessary fix even if cars out of warranty? they could not answer that and said I would have to pay over 750. 00 to correct. . I walked out. What’s the real truth here. This car is a 2007!! who would pay that amount. .

Driver's side front seat will stop moving forward and back it has been tested said all was good it moved back on it own while driving now I am 4 ft 8 inches tall not good I was stopped at a red light.

My airbag light came on 2 days after driver side air bag was replaced. Dealer wanted $129. 50 to tell me the reason. After checking I was told it is somewhere in the wiring in the passenger seat and it will cost me $500. To remove the seat and the seat covers and an estimated $500 to fix the wiring problem. I am 91 years old and that is a lot of money for me to pay. Why is a problem like that my problem and not Ford motor??? I have been told by several people that Ford had a lot of problems with my model 2007 Ford Fusion. Again why is a safety problem mine and not Ford motor??. . Mike vellky.

On may 15, 2023 I got in my car, proceeded to drive off when I noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on the instrument panel. I notified the dealership the next day and dropped my car off on may 17, 2023. On may 19 a diagnostics test was run and revealed that I had a faulty seat belt buckle. I declined service on the car. This was shocking to me since I took my car to them less than 4000 miles and less than a year ago for the airbag light staying on again in 2022. At that time it was revealed that it was the passenger seat position sensor & it was repaired. In 2020 my car was also a part of recall 19s25 for the seat belt. In 2018 repairs were also done on my car due to the airbag light coming on as well. I'm driving the car but now don't know if it is safe to drive. When I picked up the car, the light was still on but about 4-5 days later the light went off by itself. The passenger seat has barely been used since I purchased the car in 2015. After the repairs were done in 2022, the seat/seat belt has not been used so I don't understand how it can be faulty. It seems to me that there's a defect somewhere and it should be investigated. I would appreciate if this is given serious consideration. When I spoke with Ford motor company, they told me to contact you to have you investigate the matter. I am working with the customer relations rep with Ford of franklin- ms. Lauren distephano at 931-538-0339 regarding this matter.

Pedestrian detection system malfunction. Sync 3 system apim unit is going out and needs replacing (only at 58k miles, 10k out of warranty). Passenger front seat heater and climate control failed due to seat heater melting wiring harness.

1. Im driving and all of a sudden my car will not leave the park position . It turns out that theres a recall on said problem and when I called dealership to have them tow vehicle they said I have to pay for tow. Even though its a manufactor recall. And I get car serviced regularly at dealership. This clearly not my fault as a consumer so why am I a absorbing cost. I calked for road side they gave me run around and numbers which no one answers . While my car is not working and thank god I was at a stop sign when this happened it could have been worst. And I must pay for something that is not my fault. Clearly not how this works when there is a recall. 2. Another is that I found with this car was I let back seat down to put my grand babys stroller in and seat in back wont let up on hybrid due to all the wiring under neath and in trunk. Apparently u must leave middle seat belt in latched position because that what allows u to let seat up. The car seat is supposed to go in middle area. This is clearly poor nanufactoring. But yet they charge a hundred dollars to let seat up . Also a manufactoring issue. Tge solution that was given was never let back seat down. But how is that a solution when seat should let down and up. I can put car seat in back anymore nor can my babys buckle their seat belt in back. It is clearly a safety issue and if I check online or youtube this is clearly a real issue but Ford ignored. How many moms or kids must die from Fords haphazard behavior or stand behind the vehicle recalls that the NHTSA has authorized them to repair. . I am almost 50 but I gurantee I will make this my mission to hold Ford and NHTSA accountable for this negligentband poorly made cars by Ford. I will not pay for an issue which is clearly a manufacters issue. I have to pay for a tow on a transmission recall . When it was never my fault to begin with.

After starting the car and turning on the seat heater smoke started coming up from under the passenger seat smelling like it was burning.

Seat back broke in a collision.

Took my car on to check why seat belt light was on after bag replaced. Told there is a sensor under passenger seat that reflects weight in seat that is not working that is used in case accident airbag pressure would be deployed. Light will not turn off on dash and told me out of warranty is not on repair list… I have 2007 Fusion that I can’t sell because of safety light. Who is responsible for that. Service at dealer said sorry can’t help me. . It would be 400. 00??? r u kidding .

My car has a very hard time shifting when I go to take off, I have not been in a wreck because of it yet but when it does shift it shifts very hard I’m afraid to even pull onto a busy road I’m worried one day it will just not shift and I’ll cause a crash.

I've had the car for about 8 months now. First the seats stopped moving back and forth. No warranty on the car so took it to my local Ford and they said it was off its track. A month later the same problem occurred and they said my seat stopped sending commands to the computer. Now three months later my car randomly started making a loud rattling noise. Got louder every time I started the car. So once again took it to my nearby Ford. They checked it out and said my flex plate has cracked all around and that it would be a $1600 repair. This car is still fairly new. Looked into it and it seems a lot of people are having the same experience and Ford is aware of the malfunction after many complaints but still has not made it a recall. Very upsetting that I will be without a car for a week and have to pay $1600 just to get it fixed when it seems to be a mass problem. Took it to a outside shop and they said they've heard about the problem before and it's more than just the flexplate but there's no one around that can do the job.

My car seat undercarriage is disattached. I took my car in to a nearby Ford dealership and was told my VIN number was not associated with the recalls. Although my car's VIN did not have a recall, I am having the same issues as everyone else that had a recall. I was unable to adjust my car seat for suitable driving and therefore ended up having an accident. I tried to reach out to several companies in reference to my seat issue. No one could help me bc my VIN number didn't match. I have been trying to get assistance with this issue since 6/2020 but was turned away at platimum Ford in terrell TX. Please have someone to contact me as soon as possible I had a wreck 12/28/20 my airbag did not deploy until after the crash. The force of the air bag broke my husbands arm, I am not pleased with Fords recall procedures because all defects that happened to my car prior to my wreck were being overlooked because my VIN number did not match the recalls list. I feel like just because a car was not manufactured in a certain area and in a certain period of time should all be accepted if a flaw alike what's notified.

Heated drivers seat got too hot to sit in and now the heating element is not working the switch will come on for a few second then shut off. The fix is $600 replacing elements according to the mechanic "this is very common problem with this vehicle" the heating up of the seat was a huge concern but now seat does not heat . Please help.

Check engine light came on.

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.

I purchased this car used. Tested all functions of the car before a decided to buy it. The heated drivers seat worked fine when I purchased it. I went to use the heated seat about 2 weeks later, it came on and about 30 secs later went off and hasn't worked since. The passenger seat works fine but not the drivers seat. In checking different Ford forums, it appears this is a chronic problem with the drivers side heated seat in Fusions. This appears to be happening in any situation. Standing still, driving or running or not.

I obtained my vehicle on lease in 2017 with 40k miles from Ford of branford CT. When off lease I purchased it outright. I still own the vehicle and am still having two main problems, one since almost the beginning. The first is the automatic seat control(driver's). This system would periodically push the driver into the steering wheel. I brought it into that dealership several times for that reason, while still in CT. They did claim to get it to stop doing this with some resets, but over time it continued. Around 2020, the vehicle began going totally dead. Initially it was determined to be the starting battery. My concern was it to ba a compiter or power drain problem. Several batteries and dealership visits didn't solve it. I moved to SC in may 2022. These problems continued there, where cox Ford of southern pines took over. After more service visits the only answer was a bad battery. Recently, after returning from vacation and having to jump start the vehicle two times, I had several conversations with the service department. Finally a new service writer found some information. A technical service bulletin described how in this vehicle, how under seat wiring for the automatic seats, were becoming frayed and shorting on metal rails. (182025a). Also another for battery drain (ssm 50250). My automotive background (which I no longer do) tells me that electric seat wiring, grounding against seat rails could cause the battery to be draining. I believe they could be connected.

The driver front seat heated seat isn't working . It got really hot burning my bottom and then shut off and never came back on . When you push the button it comes on and then immediately shuts off . The passenger side still works .

When I purchased this vehicle or financed it from the dealership I asked for the car fax and noticed there were two safety recalls and asked if they had been fixed and they gave me two computer pieces of plain white print out paperwork that only said serviced recall and that they did all their service paperwork like that now ! I was doubtful until I just checked your site and found 8 unrepaired recalls to my car.

I was driving down the highway on the interstate at a speed limit of 60mph in motion on my way home and it started getting hard to turn my steering wheel which made it hard for me to make a left or right turn when I was exiting the exit. The service power steering popped up on my dashboard and advance trac. So then it ended up changing to say service power steering now which it made it very hard and difficult to even be able to drive my car period. I got a estimated of $1811. 94 for my car to be repaired at wynne Ford at 1020 w. Mercury blvd hampton va 23666 and for me to get a estimate of that price I can't afford to pay that it's like buying a used car at that price. I just find it hard to believe that it's a recall on a 2011-2012 Ford Fusion but not a 2010 when the same exact defect is going on with that same carjis a different year. Which basically I would be paying to get a electrical power steering rack and pinion in order for my car to be able to drive and function correctly.

I reached down on the right side of the driver's seat to retrieve a fallen object and cut my wrist on a sharp, raw, metal edge of a stamping on the side of the seat. Lots of blood, but not a deep cut.

Driver seat (base) moves while driving and (driver side) wiper blades hesitates during medium and fast setting.

The driver seat, when I turn on the heated seat it gets so hot it burns you.

I am having problems with several things. Air bag was recalled so I took it to the Ford dealership and they replaced it but the light won't go off, after getting my car back from the dealership the radio/speaker and seat warmers went out, soon after the heat/ac went out, the rear driver side tail light goes out very often, plate lights don't work, visor lights don't work. They're are too many issues that started at the same time, so I think it must be electrical. Thanks.

Driver seat I have a Ford Fusion 2013 that I purchased brand new and have already had many issues (some recalls and some not). I am currently having issues with my driver seat motor that moves seat Ford and back for leg room. The side of the seat closest to middle console (right side) seems stuck and will not move forward. This results in a diagonally angled seat. I am not a tall person, therefore this issues makes me unable to drive my car. I have researched this issue and see several others have had this same issue. We brought it into the Ford dealership where we purchased the car and the cost for said issue is over $2,000. 00. Seems like if multiple people are having this issue then there was clearly something wrong from the beginning. Also- I see there is another seat recall from 2014 (front seat backrest replacement) to which the motor and seat electrical connectors are removed/replaced/or adjusted. Leads me to think this may be an issues associated with this recall. I am dishing out the cost of this repair. . I do not have any other option right now. But I am greatly disappointed with this issues and Ford denying responsibility for this issues even though several Ford customers have had the same issue. Sadly, this makes me distrust purchasing a Ford vehicle again.

Rear center seat belt gets stuck in locked and will not release. Trapping occupant or locking the 60 seat in down position. Multiple online complaints without resolution or recall. Most resulted in seat belt being cut and owner paying for it. Our vehicle was stationary and seat is stuck down due to locked seat belt.

Error message on instrument panel displays "temporarily lost communication with the climate system" when this happens the climate system, radio, windows, and seat controls stop working, this happens randomly and can last as long as a week. Many owners with several different Ford models are experiencing this problem and Ford refuses to acknowledge it.

2008 Ford Fusion brakes are sinking all the way down to the floor at 93k while in motion. I see a lot of complaints from others online, but no confirmation that Ford will take care of the matter or it being listed as a recall. Also the driver seat warmer does not work.
