This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I didn-??t know or the incident with the car until I purchased and started noticed The way it drives. It do have a problem with acceleration while shifting gears, and also loses power with A/c turned on.
"takata recall"my car was involved in a fender bender with the air bag not deploying, prior to that the check airbag light remained on. The marlow auto body collision center located in oxon hill Maryland did try to look at it as to why I did not turn off, they even replaced the fuse, however I received a letter in the mail informing me there was a recall. I have contacted and tried to bring the vehicle into Ford located in camp springs Maryland on several occasions and they stated they never received the part and they were unable to accommodate my repair. I have since went back to marlow auto body this year 2018 for help but they stated I should contact the nhts to complain.
Door handles and locks are not functioning properly. Passenger front door handle (and sometimes the driver door) does not open from the inside, posing a safety concern. If car was to catch on fire, passenger would have to roll down window to exit the vehicle. Also some doors lock and some do not. Not a saftey concern, but certainly an issue. My son had a 2006 Ford Fusion that did the same exact thing as I noted above, therefore, is an issue with these Ford Fusion.

The dashboard around airbag portion has come apart and is rising up all the way across the dashboard. Passengers' side the seat belt light and seat belt buzzer goes off. Have notified Ford. No compensation. Do not have pictures available, but if needed will email them asap. The consumer stated there were toxic gases leaking from the airbag compartment which tampered with the adhesive on the dashboard. The dashboard began to bubble up around the compartment. The seatbelts would not release. The consumer's grandchild had to wriggle out from under the seat belt. The seatbelt had to be unscrewed from the floor to release the pressure on it. The interior dashboard light, radio, clock, mileage, and cd player would not operate. The engine light illuminated, the driver's seat seams began separating, the brakes stick, the interior door handles broke off, the rearview fell off while driving, and the tires had a constant leak.
Brakes - on many occasions while driving on the highway and city street I find I have to press the brake all the way to the floor for the car to fully stop and I have been in many close call fender benders. Electrical - the left turn signal stopped working in route to work, so I assumed the bulb blew out. However, when driving the car again the turn signal started working again. For the two weeks the left turn signal worked intermittently which made me very nervous when making left turns. As of now the left turn signal is working again with no intermittence and I don't know if/when the turn signal or something else will stop working out of the blue or why this happened in the first place. Trunk leakage - the tire well in the trunk as well as the spare tire area was full of water and not sure where the leakage is coming from. I have had the car 9 years and don't recall water in that area. At this point I don't place items in the trunk for fear of it getting wet on a heavy rain days here in Florida. Vents - I had to remove the defrost vent above the dashboard because the lining that holds it in place is bent and warped A/C - continues to malfunction, I have had the air serviced multiple times and when working it's great but then the air becomes less cool and goes completely hot. This is torture during the summer.
Takata recall: I purchased my Ford Fusion in 2007 and I received awesome comments; this was the ratings from my older family members, bragging about my car; as being "top of the line vehicle" sounded great! within my first year, on a Saturday my car would not start, before going to work, it was corrosion on my battery post. The following Monday, I contacted hixon Ford service dept. In monroe, la; told them of my experience and was told that they have not heard of any problems. I was given a free battery, without anyone looking into why the car wouldn't start or corrosion on the battery. I didn't think I would have been treated in that manner throughout the time I have my car. Since then, several other problems, such as the rubber around the dash vent, where the defrost air comes out, lifted up out of place. One day the 6-cd changer would not release my cds'; but months later after pressing the button everyday, I pressed the reject and they all came out. Another experience was when the two front door latches just popped out; at a later time, the two back latches popped out. Since I could only afford to get the driver door latch repaired, I would still lock my car door, but they do not lock. Another incident happened when I tried to slow down, because of the bumpy road and my car felt like it hydroplaned; I couldn't stop (scaaarrryy!). after each incident, I would call hixon Ford and ask for recall status, concerning my incidents. They would always tell me, they have not heard anything, but when I called the main office, I was told that nothing had been reported. I never felt they cared what happened to me, because they didn't look into the first incident, but years later, I received an apology; give them another chance with my next purchase and they can't do anything now. Well, they never did anything and I would have been very surprised if they did.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The contact mentioned that on several occasions when the vehicle was able to start, it failed to restart after being shut off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the PCM, the spark plugs, and the coils had all melted and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
Driving on interstate 75 my car made a popping noise and lost power, was in limp mode, check engine light came on, had car diagnosed and found to have busted ignition coils and bad ECM, replaced those, less than a week later driving to work again and wrench light came on, it comes and goes but the check engine light is on. The car loses all power until shut off, am told it is a throttle body issue. The car has just over 73,000 miles and has been very well taken care of. I am afraid to drive any more due to the sudden loss of power on highway with no way of knowing when it is going to happen again.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the air bag warning light on the passenger side illuminated as soon as the vehicle was started. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, as the passenger occupant control weight module that needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,353.
PCM failed on a 2007 Ford Fusion SE V6 while on the highway. This resulted in near-immediate electrical failure, stalling the car after app. 30 seconds. User forums online seem to indicate that this is a recurring problem with 2007 Fusion, possibly stemming from ECU failure (although opinions are undecided on whether a feedback issue causes the ECU to fail, or the ECU fails and causes feedback). Damage to the car included frying all six spark plugs, and significant damage to all six ignition coils which necessitated replacement, as well as necessitating replacement of PCM unit. Ford also draws a distinction between the warranty on the ECU (8 years / 80,000 miles) and the warranty on the PCM (3 years / 36,000 miles) when assessing the damage - since this failure commonly results in damage to the PCM, they almost always seem to elect to consider only the PCM warranty. Total cost to driver: App. $2,000 plus labor.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the ignition switch was turned to the on position, but the vehicle did not start. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the battery failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but failed to accelerate. The independent mechanic later diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the pulley bolt failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
I had just went to the store, dropped my cousin off at home right up the street from my house. I pulled out on the highway and gave it gas and the car wouldn't go over 10 mph. I notice in my rear view mirror, a car was coming up fast, so I pulled over out the way until the way was clear, then I putted all the way home. The car had no power. I have been googling these problems, and I had a mechanic come to my house and put the diagnostics machine on my car and it came back with a code of: P2110 2007 Ford Fusion - throttle actuator control system - forced limited RPM....read more: engine-codes.com/P2110_2007_ford_fusion.html#ixzz3svzzppzk. As I am still googling, looks like I will have to get the computer reprogrammed. Well it hasn't been a year since that car left me on the side of the road and I had to go the cheap way of getting the computer fixed and all coils replaced which was $800. Now its saying I have to get the computer reprogrammed again. I am not financial stable to keep putting money into a car where the computer keeps messing up, and, me driving it and losing power is really dangerous because it could have caused an accident if I couldn't get out of the highway... I read there was a warranty on this up until January 2015 but I was unaware of that. My car has 1756500 give or take on it a little
Driving on highway at 55 mph when total loss of power. Drove home doing about 20 mph with high rpms. #2 coil burnt and melted, blown PCM. Had to have PCM reprogrammed and replace all 6 coil packs. Seems to be a prevalent problem with the 2007 AWD, Ford needs to do something about this.
Car jolted while cruising at 70 mph on the interstate, then went in to like a first gear and high RPM. All the dashboard gauges, lights and radio went off. Put in neutral and everything came back on and functioned. Put back in drive and the same issue with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so I could use my flashers and after coasting for a little bit the entire car shut down and would not come back on. Had to tow to a nearby dealership (54 miles away) where they are telling me the throttle body has failed and needs replaced.
Car jolted then went in to like a first gear with high RPM. All gauges went to zero and all dashboard things stopped, including radio. Put in neutral, all gauges returned to normal and all lights functioned. Put back in drive and the same issuer with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so I could use hazard lights but then the entire car shut down. Had to tow to a dealership where the are telling me the throttle body has failed and needs replaced.
