2016 Ford Fusion complaints

2016 FORD FUSION RECEIVED FROM DEALER ON DEC 2015. AT 39 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, FUSION WOULD NOT START, AND ALL ALARMS CAME ON (LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE OVERHEAT, PARKING BRAKE, PARKING SENSORS, ETC). CAR STARTED AFTER HITTING OK AND SEVERAL MORE CRANKS. FEB 2015 - AT ABOUT 2500 MILES, THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THE THIRD TIME WAS AT 3000 MILES, ALL WITH THE SAME EXACT ALARM BEHAVIOR. THE FOURTH TIME OCCURRED ON MARCH 7, 2016 WITH 3200 MILES ON ODOMETER; THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE GOING 45MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO ENGINE POWER, NO STEERING POWER, NO POWER BRAKES, NOTHING BUT ALARMS. I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIRS AND NO REPORTED DIAGNOSTIC CODES. FORD HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES WITH THE CAR IN THEIR POSSESSION, BUT THEY REFUSED TO CONDUCT LONG-TERM DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY WERE NOT ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S GOING INTO THE DEALER AND NOW IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR LOSES POWER WHILE IN OPERATION.

I PURCHASED A 2016 FORD FUSION SE BRAND NEW AND AFTER A WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JERKED VERY HARD, I HAD TO CHECK MY REARVIEW MIRROR THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME BUT NO THE CAR BEHIND WAS SOME DISTANCE AWAY. IT SLOWED SOME WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS BUT PICKED UP SPEED SHORTLY AFTER. I IGNORED THAT FIGURED IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. I WAS DRIVING A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT OCCURRENCE IN THE CITY AND THE CAR MADE A REVING UP NOISE AND I THOUGHT WHO CAR IS THAT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND NOTICED IT WAS MY CAR MAKING THE NOISE AND THE SPEED WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO QUICKLY HIT MY FLASHERS SO THE CARS BEHIND ME WOULD KNOW MY CAR HAD STALLED. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO MOVE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT IN THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR PULL CODES TO FIND OUT WHY THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE THAT DAY. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ONCE TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY CAN NOT ASSIST ME. I HAVE NOT MADE THE FIRST CAR PAYMENT AND THIS CAR ALREADY GIVING MY PROBLEMS. I RESEARCHED THE CAR AND NOTICED CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS NOW AND FORD REFUSE TO RECALL WHAT SEEMS TO BE A THROTTLE ISSUE AND THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A NEW CAR THAT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNALS WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IT HAS ALREADY ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND NOONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE MY ISSUE WHICH IS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

2016 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE WINDSHIELD AND DASHBOARD ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE SUN SHINED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ONTO THE DASHBOARD, IT REFLECTED A 'V" ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DASHBOARD. THE EDGES OF THE "V" REFLECTED ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND INTERFERED WITH THE DRIVER'S VISION. THE CENTER CUT OUT IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD ALSO REFLECTED ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, BUT SINCE IT WAS CENTERED IT DID NOT INTERFERE WITH THE DRIVER'S VISION. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE REFLECTION ON THE DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD WAS A DESIGN DEFECT. IF THE "V" WAS NOT CUT INTO THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THERE WOULD BE NO REFLECTION. IF THE DASHBOARD WAS ANTI-GLARE THE PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY BE SOLVED. *JB
