THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY ROCKS AND OTHER STUFF FLYING UP FROM THE ROAD. I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT STARTED. I JUST NOTICED IT OVER TIME AND SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

PASSENGER DOOR CAME OPEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WILL NOT LATCH. FORD WILL NOT TOW THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED, WILL NOT OFFER US A LOANER VEHICLE. I HAVE ROPE HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED.

I RETURNED TO MY PARK CAR OPENED AND SHUT MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THEN OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR TO RESTRAIN MY GRAND CHILDREN IN THERE CAR SEAT AND THEN WALKED AROUND GOT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AND STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AJARD LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. I REACH OVER AND PUSHED ON THE DOOR AND IT WAS NOT LATCHED. I GOT OUT AND WENT TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AND REALIZE IT WOULD NOT LATCH.IT LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS SHUT THOUGH IT WAS NOT. HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT THEN WE HAD TO USE A BUNGEE CORD TO HOLD IT SHUT. I CALLED SERVICE AND HAD THEM TO CHECK IT OUT 7/17/2019 THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAD BEEN HAVING WITH THE DOOR LATCH RECALL THOUGH MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED. THEY REPORTED IT TO FORD AND FORD STILL DID NOT WANT TO COVER THE EXPENSE OR COVER IT IN THE RECALL BECAUSE I HAD OVER 150,000 THOUSAND MILES AND NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS A ONE OWNER CALL. THIS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED AND ALL MY DOOR LATCHES SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NOT COST TO ME. I DID OPEN A CAS NUMBER WITH FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SEEM TOO CONCERNED, WHAT DOES MY MILEAGE OR WARRANTY HAVE TO DO WITH A UNSAFE DEFECTIVE PART THAT FORD IS AWARE OF? *DT *TP

SHIFTER CABLE RECALL ON THE 2013 FORD FUSION. THAT EXACT PROBLEM IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR, WHILE INITIALLY IN DRIVE, THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE AND CHANGED GEAR BY ITSELF. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO LOOK AT IT AND FIX IT IN A TIMELY MANNER (ROUSH FORD, COLUMBUS, OHIO 888-380-0264)

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT THE TIME. IF I HAD BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2015 (RECALL # 15S16) .

YESTERDAY ON JULY 2ND, 2019 I PICKED MY FRIEND UP FROM THE AIRPORT. AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME THE DOOR LITERALLY UNLATCHED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE. IT WAS LIKE A MALFUNCTION. I CHECKED TO BE SURE THAT NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY TO PREVENT IT FROM CLOSING AND THERE WASN'T. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON 2014 AND 2015 BUT NOT ON MY 2013 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT ON (MARCH 27TH, 2017) THERE WAS THIS SAME RECALL ON THE 2013. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY $400 DUE TO MY WARRANTY RUNNING OUT A WEEK AGO. I'M CURRENTLY USING MY SEATBELT TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT DUE TO THIS BEING MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT GOING INTO PARK. LAST WEEK I GOT HOME PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK BUT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS STUCK IN THE DRIVE MODE. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR FROM ROLLING INTO MY HOUSE WAS BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS IS THE SECOND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL WITH THIS VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY I HAD A RECALL WITH THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCH. DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ONE PARTICULAR DAY AND THE DOOR OPENS. MY PERSONAL OPINION AND BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE THE 2013 FORD FUSION IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED PROPERLY.

HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND NOW MY LIGHT IS FLASHING ON WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD 2 DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON MY CAR BEFORE I FIXED THE ISSUE AND AFTER I REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR ON MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME CODES FOR MY ABS, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND HILL ASSIST LIGHTS. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS AN ISSUE BECAUSE MY PEDAL IS DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR WHILE IN MOTION AND FEELS LIKE IT WON'T STOP WHEN TURNING TO PARK. WHAT ELSE AM I TO DO?

IN MODERATE TEMPERATURES, ~40-60 DEGREES F, THE ENGINE WILL STALL JUST AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE. SO IN THE SPRING AND THE FALL. IT DOES NOT OCCUR IN THE WINTER OR THE SUMMER. IT USUALLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND DRIVEN AND THEN TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE. FOR INSTANCE, IF I DRIVE OUT TO LUNCH, STOP AND EAT, AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. JUST AFTER I START MOVING, SAY 100 FT., THE ENGINE STARTS RUNNING ROUGH AND NOTHING I DO WILL STOP IT FROM DYING. USUALLY IT STARTS RIGHT UP AND AND THEN IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN THAT DRIVE CYCLE. ONLY ONCE HAS IT OCCURRED TWICE IN A ROW. NO "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" OR CODES. HAD IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE.
