1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2026

Backup camera lens is defective and has uv damage / hazing. Makes reversing extremely difficult and dangerous as the lens is not giving a good image output to the infotainment screen to the point it is difficult to identify anything (cars, pedestrians, etc). Ford has a known recall on the fusions for 2013-2016, and have excluded 2017-2020 model years even though hardware is the same. I have ordered and am replacing the backup camera myself. Seems to be a common/known issue. Hoping to log a complaint and have Ford reimburse me for the trouble.

2 Equipment problem

Inoperable front passenger side window. Both switches on driver side and passenger side for passenger side window inoperable. Tested while vehicle in motion. Dated this 4/10/2019.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2018

Sometimes my car will not start correctly. I then have to turn it off , let it sit for a couple of minutes and then start it up again. It generally happens again but the third time I start the car, it generally goes into the mode it has to be in to start driving. Also, when I put the charger into the opening, it never gives me the full 22 miles using only electricity. I usually only get about 10 or 12. Why does that happen?.

4 Equipment problem
