2011 Ford Fusion complaints

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR INSIDE HANDLE BROKE AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE BEING ABLE TO EGRESS FROM AN AUTO WHEN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IS IMPERATIVE.

BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THE SECOND MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I ENDED UP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD OFF THE SHOULDER BEFORE I COULD STOP IT. IT HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. CAR DIES FOR NO REASON. I END UP HAVING IT TOWED OR RESTARTED BY CHARGING BATTERY. THE BATTERY ALWAYS HAS A FULL CHARGE. ALSO I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AND GET IN THE CAR TO START IT AND IT WILL NOT START. DOOR HANDLES WOULD NOT WORK FROM INSIDE. WINDOWS WOULD NOT OPEN. HAD TO FORCE WINDOW DOWN ENOUGH TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. HAD FRONT DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLE REPLACED HAD TRANSFER CASE RESEALED HORRIBLE SMELL, NEW TIRES 3 TIMES SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED HAD REAR DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED, FUEL PUMP REPLACED HAD TAKEN IT TO FORD JUST RECENTLY FOR WHAT I DEEMED WAS COMPUTER PROBLEMS, OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THE LAST TIME I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR THAT I WOULD NEED NEW RIMS SOON. THE RIMS ARE ERODING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I HAVE SEVERAL INVOICES FOR WORK THAT WAS DONE AND A FEW MORE I CAN'T LOCATE AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO SEND THEM ALL TO YOU. PURCHASE CAR 12/1/12.

MY SON AND HIS NEW FAMILY WERE GOING ACROSS A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JUST DIED. THEY WERE ALMOST HIT BY OTHER CARS. THEY COASTED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION, THEN SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED IT IT DROVE FOR A FEW FEET THEN DIED AGAIN. MY SON PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS ALSO TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR, 3 YEAR OLD AND 2 MONTH OLD. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT FAILED. THEN I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR,AND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE ALSO INVOLVED IN NEAR MISSES AND OR ACCIDENT.

WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON , AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60 TO 65 , ON LEVEL ROAD , TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT ONE OR TWO GEARS. RPMS GO FROM 2000 UP TO 3500. TO GET IT BACK TO 6TH GEAR I HAVE TO CUT CRUISE CONTROL OFF. RPMS GO BACK TO 2000.FORD DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY CODES WHEN TESTED. CAR DOES THIS IN FIRST FIFTY MILES OR SOMETIMES GOES 100 MILES BEFORE DROPPING GEAR. CAR WAS BOUGHT 20 MONTHS AGO WITH 21C MILES AS CERTIFIED VEHICLE. NOW HAS 34C ON CAR. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD THIS PROBLEM. LAST TIME TESTED BY DEALER 3-2015.

HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2011 FORD FUSION SINCE EARLY 2015. EACH TIME I PUT FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START ' SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ENGINE IS FLOODED. THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL. RAN THE FUEL TANK TO NEARLY EMPTY AND REFUELED. SAME ISSUE EVERY TIME I REFUEL. MADE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING BLOCKING THE FUEL FILLER CAP/FLAP.

IN SEPT 2015, TOOK VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THE ERROR CODES (PO456 AND PO104) INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM. REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.
