2013 Ford Fusion complaints

THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THE 2013 FUSION VEHICLES BUILT AT HERMOSILLO ASSEMBLY PLANT FOR ALL 4 DOOR LATCHES. FORD CLAIMS MY FUSION DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. BUT MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY WITH MY 12 YR OLD SON SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE WHEN THE DOOR CAME OPEN BY ITSELF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION DOING 60 MPH AND NOW THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND SAYS IT IS A FAULTY DOOR LATCH. I NOW HAVE TO PAY $202 TO BUY THE PART TO FIX ONE DOOR. THE RECALL SAYS IT CAN HAPPEN TO ALL FOUR DOORS. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ALL 2013 FUSIONS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

REAR SEAT BECAME LOCKED WITH FOLDING SEAT IN LAY DOWN POSITION. UNABLE TO UNLOCKS EAT BELT OR RAISE SEAT.

THE CAR HAS A HARSH SHIFT FOR 2/3. THE SHIFT IS SO HARSH AT TIMES THAT IT WILL JERK YOUR HEAD BACK. IT WILL ALSO AT TIMES DRAG FROM THE 2/3 SHIFT THEN JERK YOU. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS ON THE HIGHWAY IF IN TRAFFIC AND IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL. I SPOKE WITH FORD TODAY 6.23.16 AND THEY HAVE ESCALATED THE MATTER WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,500.

SEAT BELT JAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE MY GRANDSON WAS BUCKLED IN. THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT AND CAUSED THE SEAT TO REMAIN JAMMED IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE SEAT NO LONGER GOES UP LEAVING ONE WORKING SEAT BELT IN THE BACK SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, OVERHEATED, AND THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON SOME OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP AND THE POWER TRAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

I TOOK MY 2013 FORD FUSION IN FOR THE REGULAR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AFTER SERVICE WAS COMPLETED (OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION), I WAS NOTIFIED THAT EACH WHEEL HAS "SWOLLEN LUG NUTS;" ALL LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS MEANS THAT MY LUG NUTS NO LONGER FIT TO THE SAME SIZE AS CONDITIONED BY THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER. YESTERDAY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO RECEIVE A TIRE PATCH AND ALIGNMENT. THE IMAGES PROVIDED SHOW THE CONDITION OF THE LUG NUTS AFTER THE TIRE WAS PATCHED AND VEHICLE WAS ALIGNED. THIS SWOLLEN LUG NUT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND DESERVES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THANK YOU. *TR

LATCH ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED WORKING AND DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOVEMENT. DOOR WILL NO LONGER STAY CLOSED.

MY CAR IS STALLING WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND GET THE SAME ANSWER EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO BE GETTING" WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN'T GET THE CAR TO DO IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I EVEN TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT BUT SAME THING BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO FIX IT WAS JUST HOPEFUL. I EXPECT FORD TO BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG NOT GUESS WORK THAT GETS A BIT EXPENSIVE. FORD HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF RUDE AND UNCONCERNED. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON LINE. ECO-BOAST ESPECIALLY. A RECALL OR JUST FIGURE IT OUT AND I WILL PAY TO FIX IT. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE A TEENAGE SON WHO DRIVES HE HAS HIS OWN CAR BUT FOR LONG TRIPS I PREFER HE DRIVE MY CAR WITH ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES, BUT NOW I WOULD NOT DARE LET HIM DRIVE IT. HE HAS A 2004 FORD TAURUS THAT IS SAFER FOR HIM TO DRIVE THEN MY CAR.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS AND MOUNTS BECAME LOOSE AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES AND NOW THE WIPERS SKIP AND DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OFF WHEN IT IS RAINING. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. I CHANGED WIPERS 4 TIMES UNTIL I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE CAUSE. WHENEVER IT RAINS, I HAVE SEVERELY LIMITED VISIBILITY. I CANNOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT COSTS TOO MUCH.

I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH ON APRIL 28, 2016 AND A WARNING THAT SAID "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT." I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 1YR AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WARING OCCRRING.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH, REMAINS OPEN. OCCURRED AFTER SIMPLY OPENING DOOR, VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL HOWEVER ONLY FOR VEHICLES WITH STICKER OF 5/2013 OR PRIOR, MINE SHOWS 6/2013. BELIEVE RECALL NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED.

MY 2013 FORD FUSION FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH AND CABLE FAILED. I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE MY DOOR. AT THE TIME I WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET . LUCKILY I WAS NOT MOVING LIKE OTHER 2013 FORD FUSION OWNERS EXPERIENCED. FORD DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN RECALL 15S16 OR NHTSA 15V246000, EVEN THOUGH I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY REPAIRED THE LATCH AND CABLE AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, INVOICE#C54181.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT COMES IN MAKING IT HARD TO TURN VEHICLE. FORD SAYS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A PERMANENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,500.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR THIS PAST SATURDAY AND ON SUNDAY, THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR CANNOT BE COMPLETELY LOCKED DUE TO THE SENSOR 'THINKING' THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT SHUT,WHEN IN FACT IT IS. ALSO THE ALARM GOES OFF WHEN WE TRY TO REMOTELY LOCK THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON I-40 MOVING WEST FROM NASHVILLE IN DICKSON, TN WHEN MY HOOD RELEASED. THE HOOD SLAPPED MY WINDSHIELD SHATTERING IT AND SENDING PIECES OF GLASS AT ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE MEDIAN AND CALL THE STATE TROOPERS. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD FIND THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE HOOD TO RELEASE AS THERE IS AN INITIAL "HOOD RELEASE" AND THEN A SAFETY LEVER THAT HAVE TO BOTH HAVE ACTION BEFORE THE HOOD CAN EVEN GO UP.

THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CLUTCH FELL OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE BOLT RETAINING THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY SHEARED OFF RESULTING IN THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY SEPARATING FROM THE COMPRESSOR PULLEY.

I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND RECEIVED A "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" MESSAGES. AT FIRST, I WAS ABLE TO RESET MY POWER STEERING BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. NOW , I HAVE COMPLETELY LOST MY POWER STEERING. NOW THE POWER WILL GO OFF AND STAY OFF WHILE DRIVING. FORD MOTOR HAS RECALLED THE 2011 FORD FUSIONS WITH THE 3.5 L ENGINE BUT INSIST THE 2.5 L DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THEY ARE WRONG AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIXED MY CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, MY FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR UNTIL ONE WEEK WHICH ONLY FORCES DRIVERS TO DRIVE CARS THAT ARE UNSAFE.

DAMAGED LUG NUTS: ALL WHEEL REMOVALS/TIRE ROTATIONS WERE PREVIOUSLY DONE BY AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERSHIPS. REPORT OF LOSE LUG NUT SITUATION WAS MADE BY OWNER DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE BUT WAS DISMISSED BY ONE AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER AND SUBSEQUENTLY CONFIRMED AND REPAIRED DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE BY ANOTHER AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER. AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER CONFIRMED DAMAGE AND REPLACED 3 DAMAGED LUG NUTS. SUSPECT EITHER (1) DEFECTIVE MATERIAL OR (2) QUALITY OF SERVICE.

YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT KEEP COMING ON WHILE DRIVING ONLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 TO 70 MPH, IT ALSO INTERMITTENT THEREFORE THE DEALER CANNOT EVER FIND PROBLEM CODES. THE CODES ERASE WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE CAR. I LOSE HALF OF ENGINE POWER AND NO OTHER CONTROLS WORK SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL AND MANUAL SHIFTING PADDLE SHIFTING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WAS MY : "PCM" THAT IS GIVING ME THE TROUBLE. ALSO THE ELECTRIC FAN IS RUNNING AT FULL SPEED BLOWING OUT COLD AIR, PLUS THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC. ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND RUNNING FOR ABOUT 7 TO 10 MINUTES, I TURN ON THE HEATER AT 73 DEGREES AND IT IS WARM. THEN AFTER TURNING ON THE HEATER AND NOW LEAVING FOR WORK, I ACCELERATE TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY AND SOON NOTICED THAT THE HEATER IS NOW BLOWING COLD AIR AND I THEN TURN THE HEATER UP HIGHER TO 77 THEN THE SAME WARMTH COME OUT THEN THAT GOES AWAY TIL I TURN THE HEATER WAY UP TO 83 DEGREES. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, I HAD THE COOLANT AND OIL REPLACED AND IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I GET TWO WARNINGS SHOWING THE YELLOW WRENCH, "POWER REDUCED TO COOL DOWN ENGINE" AND "ENGINE OVERHEAT" THE SUNNYVALE FORD DEALER CHARGED ME $200.00 DOLLARS TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND SAID THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. BUT THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT 65 TO 75 MPH. OUR FREEWAYS SPEED LIMITS ARE HIGH ON INTERSTATES 5. I DO SEE OLDER FORD TEMPO'S GOING 80 MPH AND PASSING ME WHILE I CANNOT GO FASTER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHERS. QUITE INSULTING TO ME WHILE I

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT STOPPED WORKING AND WITHOUT MANUAL CONTROLS THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED.

THE LATCH ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR FAILED AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, JUST AS DESCRIBED IN RELEVANT RECALL. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH MY MODEL YEAR IS PART OF RECALL, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON MY VIN IS EXCLUDED. FORD MUST FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO THE OTHER DOORS. I WAS TRYING TO ENTER FREEWAY WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN. THIS VEHICLE IS A FAMILY CAR, AND I HAVE 3 MINOR CHILDREN WHO, I PREFER, ARE NOT PUT IN HARMS WAY AS A RESULT OF SOME MISPLACED ISSUE ON WHETHER MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THESE PARTS, WHICH ARE ALREADY WELL-ESTABLISHED AS DEFECTIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. CAR DIED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE OF STARTING CAR AND PUTTING INTO GEAR. THE THIRD TIME WAS AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR SOME TIME AND PULLED AWAY FROM BANK TELLER WINDOW.

MULTIPLE TIME MY CAR "SURGES" WHILE DRIVING. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO "SURGE" INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE FUSION JUST DIES.

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR BUT MOST RECENTLY AND THE MOST CONCERNING IS THE FREQUENT STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES . THE CAR WILL JUST GO DEAD . SOMETIMES A WARNING IN DISPLAY SAYS RUN ACTIVE POWER, SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON . WHEN IT STALLS RANDOMLY IT LOSES POWER AND BUCKS A LITTLE THEN STALLS . WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THERE IS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION COMING FROM FRONT OF THE CAR AS THE STALLING PROBLEM GETS WORSE IT ALSO GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" ON HIGHWAY . THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR MANY WEIRD PROBLEMS SUCH AS WHEN I WAS IN FLA IN DEC AND THE HEAT CAME ON FULL BLAST AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE SAID IT WAS MINUS 21 DEGREE'S . IT HAD PROBLEM WITH WIPERS , TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING. I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY MODULES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING AND NOT KNOW WHEN YOUR CAR WILL STALL . THE CAR IS AT DEALER YET AGAIN AND IT WAS VERY UNSETTLING TO DISCOVER THAT THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL THAT YOUR NEARLY NEW VEHICLE IS STALLING FREQUENTLY . WHICH MADE MY GUT SAY THERE COULD BE SOME SORT OF COVER UP. BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY CAN NOT TRUST ANYONE ANY MORE . I COULD SEE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THE MAKING. BUT WHILE GOVERNMENT STALLS AND STALLS PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED IN THESE CARS . I HAVE ON VIDEO MY CAR STALLING . I TOLD MY FAMILY IF I DIE IN A CRASH TODAY CHECK MY PHONE FOR THE VIDEO'S OF CAR STALLING AND SUE THE HELL OUT OF FORD!!! UPDATED 10/19/2017*JS *BF...VIDEO AVAILABLE

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT WAS CRUSHED , SUPPOSEDLY BY AN EMPTY JELLY JAR THAT WAS UNDER NEATH THE SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE THE JELLY JAR AND ITS NOT EVEN BROKEN . FORD CLAIMS ITS MY FAULT AND TO GET IN TOUCH WITHMY INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH I HAVE BUT SINCE THE LIGHT (AIRBAG ) LIGHT HAS COME ON, MY SEAT DOESN'T WORK DOES NOT MOVE BACK OR FORWARD AND THE LIGHT THAT TELLS IF IF THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENED DOESN'T WORK. I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT IM WONDERING IF MORE FUSION OWNERS THAN JUST ME HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND IF THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE WIRING HARNESS RATHER THAN THE JELLY JAR WHICH IS UNBROKEN. I AM A 72 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND ALTHOUGH IM SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT , I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MY WEIGHT AND THE JELLY JAR COULD DISABLE THE WHOLE CASE. IT DOESN'T LOOK CRUSHED BUT I'M TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC TOMORROW AND HAVING HIM TAKE THE SEAT OUT AND LOOK AT THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE HAS A HARSH SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. FOR THE MOST PART ALL OTHER SHIFTS ARE SMOOTH. THE JERKY SHIFT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, NOT JUST WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT ONE DAY IT WILL STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER.

I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR REPAIR DUE TO THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED AND THEN WOULD COME BACK ON WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME ITS ONLY A LIGHT MALFUNCTION AND THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY SO DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH. THEN I SAW NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V597000 AND SAW THAT IT MAY NOT DEPLOY AND WAS VERY FRUSTRATED. I TOOK IT IN FOR THIS REPAIR IN MARCH 2015, AND AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 3 WEEKS WITH THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A PERMANENT FIX. WELL IT WAS NOT, AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT WOULD COME BACK ON EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT TURN OFF THE NEXT TIME YOU STARTED THE CAR. AROUND DECEMBER 2015 IT BEGAN TO STAY ON AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING AROUND IN A CIRCLE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO REPAIR A CRITICAL SAFETY DEVICE.
