Car was sitting in my driveway and the back lithium ion battery in trunk had a short and started on fire while car was off and not plugged in. Burnt through trunk and into back seat and both speakers are gone. Car has heavy smoke damage and all windows are bad. Found battery harness with completely melted where it plugs into battery.
While using full accessory power with the engine off, the car will allow you to change the gear shift dial to drive. The car is able to move in this position, but the gas pedal will not work. The �ready to drive� light is. Not on.
I bought the car about 2 weeks ago and the 12v battery was low and when you turn the car off it put the car in sleep mode disabling the remote function (remote lock/unlock starting and charge state) on the app. I just assumed it was from sitting on the dealer lot for a few months and brushed it off but two weeks later after charging the car twice a day it still happens if I just run on electric for my commute. It appears the car has a power drain somewhere I have made an appointment at the dealer to see if this can be resolved and how much it will cost since I am out of the bumper to bumper warranty (41000 miles).
Fails to start. Battery is completely dead. Had into service department 6 times, have failed to correct problem. Bought new in may 2017.
The contact owns a 2017 Ford fusion. The contact stated while using the key fob to start the vehicle, the heat on the front driver's seat and steering wheel failed to operate as intended.

The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but denied assistance in covering the cost of the repair. The contact was informed that the warranty had expired and was referred to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 11,768.
The window doesn't stay closed. It automatically opens again.
We have brought Ford in for the 5th time due to the car not powering up. Most recently, the car appeared to have power issues and it put itself into reverse while we were driving. We then lost all power. This created a very hazardous situation. Ford is aware of the issue.
While driving my car on the freeway the computer screen shuts off and turns back on, this has happened several times, took the dealership and the now service manager said maybe it needs a update, which according to Ford it does not. While parked turned off, you can hear electrical componets making noises. I only have a video of it happening while driving that I cant upload. Also, the computer tried to eject a cd but I have never used the cd player. Also there is the transmission what when putting in drive or reverse kicks really hard. There was a couple times the car couldnt changer geers like the rpm were reving up but not changing geers.
