AIR CONDITIONING CLUTCH BROKE OFF THE COMPRESSOR. SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO OTHER CARS THAT ARE LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD? THE SYSTEM WORKED ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. ONLY RECORD I HAVE IS THE BILL THAT I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED.

EVERY SO OFTEN MY CAR WILL STALL OUT. I WILL RESTART AND IT WILL STALL OUT ALEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE NORMAL, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE THE STALLING OUT STOPS. IF I MAKE A LONG TRIP 20 MILES OR MORE, AND REACH MY DESTINATION CAR WILL SHALL AT THE END OF THE TRIP OR WHEN IM LEAVING FROM A LONG TRIP. I CANT SEEM TO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON LONG ENOUGH FOR THE DEALER TO CHECK DUE TO LIGHT WILL CLEAR.

MY FUSION A/C CLUTCH BOLT CAME OUT AND THE CLUTCH WHEEL CAME OFF. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME AND IT ALL BOUNCED UNDER MY CAR. THE A/C DOES NOT WORK NOW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME LOOSE TO FALL OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED SWERVING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A NOISE FOR OVER A YEAR, WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I WAS TOLD IT WAS NO BIG DEAL, BUT NOW IT HAS CASCADED INTO A FULL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES YET.I BOUGHT A HYBRID SO IT WOULD LAST LONGER, NOT SHORTER THAN THE AVERAGE CAR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS A SHARED DRIVEWAY FOR A TOWNHOUSE SET. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I PULLED IN. I WAS GOING SLOWLY IN THE DRIVE WAY. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO PARK THE CAR. I HAD THE BRAKE FIRMLY DEPRESSED. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. I ENDED UP SLOWLY GOING INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD THE BRAKE PRESSED DOWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS. MY FOOT IS ALSO NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO HAVE PUSHED BOTH DOWN AT THE SAME TIME. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP WAS TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. IT CAME TO A JERKING STOP, BUT DID NOT CONTINUE THE FORWARD MOTION.

TAKATA RECALL. I JUST RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN THE MAIL.

WHILE IN MOTION, MY 2014 FORD FUSION ABRUPTLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A FEW SECONDS (AROUND 20 SECONDS) AFTER DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, AND AFTERWARDS IT STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ON THE ROAD AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. IT HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AFTER GETTING TWO DIAGNOSES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH THE LOW SIDE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THE FACT THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT TRANSPIRED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM GAVE NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS SAFETY DEFECT IS IN BREACH OF THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT ABRUPTLY STOP ACCELERATING WHILE ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CASUALTIES TO THE OWNER AND NEARBY VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON IS INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT. THIS SAFETY DEFECT REPAIR SHOULD BE REIMBURSED TO OWNERS OF THIS FORD VEHICLE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING FORWARD AND MADE A CHIMING NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I REMOVED MY IGNITION KEY FROM THE CAR AFTER PARKING AND PUTTING THE SHIFTER INTO THE PARK POSITION, BUT THE CAR BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY CAR FROM HITTING ANOTHER CAR. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL CAR FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING. HOWEVER, I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THIS ISSUE, AND YET MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE TIME OF THE NOTED DEFECTS. PLEASE SEE RECALL INFORMATION FOUND ONLINE BELOW: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT SUMMARY FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2013-2014 FORD ESCAPE, AND 2013-2016 FORD FUSION VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE BUSHING THAT ATTACHES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME AND CAUSE THE BUSHING TO DETACH FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE DRIVER TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER TO PARK AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, WHILE THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT BE IN PARK, WITH NO WARNING MESSAGE OR AUDIBLE CHIME. CONSEQUENCE IF THE VEHICLE IS EXITED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN PARK AND WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE BEING APPLIED, THE VEHICLE MAY UNEXPECTEDLY MOVE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN JULY 30, 2
