general problems of the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid

The vehicle was in motion in a city street. The gas pedal stopped working and seemed to be accelerating itself. Brakes continued to function properly.

The car has stopped charging and will not operate in hybrid mode. Ford and the dealer have the parts are back order for over 4 months. The dealer is stating that they have 4 other vehicles with the same exact issue. This seems to be an emerging failure point on these cars.

The display in the dashboard shows the message "temporary lost communication with the climate system", and locks the windows, the vents stop working, no air is coming through. In addition, the cross traffic warning stops working, as well.

When a door is opened while the car is stationary but in gear or the brakes are applied while on an incline and the vehicle stops on an incline, the parking brake engages but the dashboard light does not illuminate. When the parking brake is on, the brake pedal must be applied and the emergency brake electronic switch pressed to disengage. The parking brake. The indicator light not illuminating initially caused confusion and worry that something was wrong with the vehicle until I was able to troubleshoot and reproduce the issue at will.

If I crank the car soon after cutting it off, (while it's still warm) engine sputters then quits, as if it isn't getting enough fuel. So when getting gas, I have to hold down the gas pedal or engine quits. As soon as I start pumping, the engine starts choking. I can't turn off the ignition while pumping gas because it won't stay cranked once I try to drive away unless I rev the rpm's up really high for a period of time. I've had it looked at several times and no one can figure out what's wrong. This has been an ongoing problem for over a year. And now white smoke billows out of the tail pipe when it's cranked. Second problem. . . . Electrical. Some of the steering wheel buttons, such as cruise and hands-free calling stop working over time. Third problem. . . . Front cv joints wear out way too soon. I heard of a recall on the news a couple of months ago for my car that sounded like my engine issue, but now I can't locate the recall anywhere. They even took it off of the news channel's website. During the broadcast, they said the recall would begin December 10th. What happened??? did Ford change its mind? sure would help me out! I'm entering the occurrence date 1/1/17, but this has been going on well over one year, maybe 2.
