WHEN I TURN ON THE DEFROSTER, THE AIR RECIRCULATOR TURNS OFF. IN TRAFFIC, THIS LETS EXHAUST FROM OTHER CARS ENTER THE CAR, SO I EITHER HAVE TO BREATH IN EXHAUST OR DRIVE WITH A FOGGED UP WINDSHIELD.

WHEN I HAD TO BRAKE, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO THE BRAKE EVEN THOUGH I HAD PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE. THE RESULT WAS THAT I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. SINCE IT WAS NOT HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, MY INJURY WAS TRAUMA TO MY FOOT. THE CONCERN WAS THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP, NOT AN 'EMERGENCY' STOP. I WAS ON A SURFACE STREET WHERE SPEED WAS 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. ALL AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS TOWED AND DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. AS A RESULT, UNABLE TO DO ANY OTHER INVESTIGATION. I DO NOT HAVE

CPSC:I PURCHASED AN ALLEN BIKE RACK 2 DELUXE TWO BIKE TRUNK CARRIER. I MOUNTED IT ON A FORD FUSION 2017 HYBRID THAT IS LISTED ON THE FIT LIST AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT THE CARRIER "FITS". THE CARRIER DOES NOT INSTALL SOLIDLY. IT CONTINUALLY SLIDES OFF THE VEHICLE. BF* THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLAMPS DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRIP TO SAFELY HOLD THE CARRIER AND THE BIKES. THE BIKES ALMOST FELL OFF ON THE FREEWAY. UPDATED 09/12/2017*JS

I JUST BOUGHT A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING ON A CALIFORNIA FREEWAY A ROCK HIT MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHICH CAUSED A LONG STRESS CRACK ACROSS THE WINDOW. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THEY WON'T COVER IT. I'M INSURED. THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. I WONDER IF THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY ANYONE ELSE WHO OWNS A FORD?. MY TOYOTA HAS BEEN HIT MANY TIMES AND HARDER THAN WHAT THIS ROCK DID BUT IT HAS NEVER SHOWN A FRACTURE LIKE THIS. PLEASE ADVISE. I CAN ALSO SEND PICS. A GLASS REPAIR COMPANY LOOKED AT IT AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER THE THIRD TIME FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE ONE TOUCH FEATURE WITH THE FRONT CAR WINDOWS . CALLED ON 4/25/2017 AND TALKED TO REPAIR DEPT. AT GLENN FORD; HE EXPLAIN HIS REMEDY ABOUT THE SWITCH UP TIL CLICKING; UTUBE HAD SIMILAR BUT DOESN'T WORK ON MINE. HE SEARCH FOR SERVICE BULLETINS AND INDICATED SOMETHING NEW ..REPROGRAM.SET AN APPOINT NEXT DAY AT 10AM . ARRIVED AT 9:55 AM AND WAS RTOLD THEY WERE RUNNING BEHIND. LATER AT 10:20 THEY PULLED THE CAR INTO THE BACK LOT. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DAN ,THE SERVICE ADVISOR, AND ASKED FOR MY KEYS SINCE I HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR !0:00AM AND EVIDENTLY MY PROBLEM ,3RD TIME ,WASN'T IMPORTANT TO THEM AND THAT I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER DEALER. HE SAID THEY WERE BRINGING IT RIGHT IN. 10:45 SAID MECHANIC WAS DOWNLOADING A NEW FIX THAT WAS JUST RECEIVED. 11:00 AM I PEERED INTO THE SHOP AND THE WINDOW STILL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. 11:15 HE CAME AND THE FIX DIDN'T WOTK AND LET ME DRIVE OFF AND SAID HE WOULD BE IN TOUCH. NO COPY OF WORK DONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY AFTER 3 MONTHS; I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD EGINEERS CAN GET A SOFTWARE BUG REPAIR OR A TEMPORARY WORK AROUND. I THINK I'LL ASH FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CARS WINDOWS AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE BEEN OVER-USED TRYING TO REPAIR ;JUST HOPE I DON'T GET RAIN DAMAGE SINCE AT TIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET "ALMOST" CLOSED BEFORE THE WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY REVERSE AND GO DOWN.THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME INTERMITTENTLY AND ROTATES BETWEEN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS.

CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO LOCK THAT CANNOT BE DISABLED. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND IF SOMETHING MEDICAL SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING, I WANT TO BE SURE THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED WHEN HELP ARRIVES. IF I FORGET TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AFTER THE AUTO LOCK LOCKS THEM, I COULD BE IN TROUBLE. FORD SAYS THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE IS A REGIONAL FEATURE, BUT SOME FUSION ON MY DEALERS LOT HAVE AUTO LOCK DISABLE, OTHERS DO NOT. IF IT IS A REGIONAL FEATURE, FORD IS SELLING MODELS OUTSIDE THE REGION. I HAVE READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FROM COVER TO COVER AND RESEARCHED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANY SOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A FORD FOCUS, ALSO WITH AUTO LOCK, BUT THERE WAS A WORK AROUND TO DISABLE THE FEATURE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HOPE THAT A SOLUTION WITH FORD CAN BE REACHED. THANKS

2017 FORD FUSION HYBRID - DRIVER'S WINDOW WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR BEING DRIVEN. WHEN THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON IS PULLED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW, IT WILL START AND THEN STOP WHEN RELEASED. IF THE BUTTON IS PULLED AGAIN, THE WINDOW WILL TRAVEL ALL THE WAY UP AS IF IT IS GOING TO CLOSE AND THE OPEN SO THAT IT IS OPEN 3/4 OF THE WAY. IT IS AS IF THE WINDOW CAME IN CONTACT WITH SOMETHING AND THEN REOPENED AUTOMATICALLY AS IF TO PREVENT TRAPPING A HAND OR ARM. THE NET EFFECT IS THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE SECURED OR DRIVEN IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WITHOUT PUTTING A PLASTIC BACK OVER THE WINDOW AREA OF THE DOOR -- THUS OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW TO THE LEFT.

UNABLE TO DRIVE AT TRAFFIC FLOW DURING RAIN, WIPERS UNABLE TO ALLOW A SAFE VIEW ON FAST OR SLOW SPEED, ONGOING ISSUE HAVE NOT WENT TO DEALER ASSUME ITS JUST POOR DESIGN.

THE VIN ASSIGNED TO THE VEHICLE MISIDENTIFIES THE MODEL AS "TITANIUM HYBRID". WITH THE 2017 FORD DESIGNED A NEW EDITION OF FUSION TO BE A "PLATINUM HYBRID" WHICH HAS A MSRP ABOVE THE "TITANIUM HYBRID" BY $6,500. I CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A DEALER ISSUE TO CORRECT THE VIN?? THE DEALER IS CALLED THE REGIONAL OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT RESPONSIBLE TO PROVE CORRECT DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A VIN. INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL COMPANIES RELY ON THE DATA FROM THE VIN.
