1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2018

Ford fusion energi, did its low powered state again, this time on the free way, dropping rapidly from 75mph to 22mph and barely able to maintain that speed. The display showed the safety features becoming deactivated. Something new though, the headlights went out and the console dimmed and was barely readable, I turned on my hazards and I hope they where working, either way I was fortunate enough to avoid a rear end collision and got the vehicle off the road. This about 7th time Ford will work on the vehicle, and another week or more without a vehicle, waiting for the next available appointment. These fusions are becoming the new Ford pinto. I really hope that several people don't have to die, before Ford is forced to recall these death traps.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2017

Vehicle lost power while cruising around 70 mph on freeway. Dashboard displayed a wrench icon and instructions to "refer to manual". All displays, climate control, and entertainment system still functional. Vehicle had minimal engine power, not enough to accelerate or maintain freeway speed but enough to exit freeway and pull over into a parking lot. Turning car off and restarting after five minutes restored all normal function, but check engine light turned on. Car functioned normally (aside from check engine light) the next day and was driven to dealership for check engine light diagnosis. Diagnosis was a broken electronic throttle body, described as a "known issue", which was replaced.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2015

This car is the second Fusion Hybrid I have. The 2015 and 2016 hybrid titanium had the same issues. I changed one for the other in hope the problem would be gone. Almost everytime I drive in low speeds, circa 15mph up to 30mph on unleveled pavement with setts the following lights turn advance trac, abs, hill assistant control. Whilst those lights are on, none of those functions works. As it happened in 2015 and still happens in my 2016. I've complaint to Ford, but they never gave me a solution. I believe it is software problems in abs module. But no up to date calibration files have resolved this issue. It happens frequently, so I will input the first time it happened with the older car (2015). I know that NHTSA have been investigating a similar issue with 2009 to 2011 fusions. But I have no idea about the closure of those cases neither whether there is any other investigation going on. I live in brazil, but here, the government and Ford do not care about customers as USA cares. So I hope that an investigation in USA could oblige Ford of brazil make the repairs to fusions sold here as well. I will input an address of relatives who live in san francisco. My phone will begin with +553.
