When I start my car I get a power steering assist failure and a service advance trac message. I can not turn my steering wheel and my car acts as if it won't do anything. I can turn my car off, wait, then start again and it is fine. My passenger seat belt also will randomly not click into the buckle or come unlocked. Now this is after Ford supposedly fixed another recall causing my car to drop to a low speed out of nowhere.

I came home from shopping and was unable to open my driver side door to exit the car. This is a safety issue, I have owned previous vehicles and never had issues that a door would not open. I had to open my driver side window and actually reach out to open the car door. This was a issue that was ongoing for Ford Fusion as I have seen several complaints regarding the faulty door latches.

Vehicle repaired 4 times for inoperable blower motor. Fan/blower will either fail outright, or operate intermittently for several weeks and eventually complete failure. Will fail either in winter or summer when fan is used the most. The first two times (3/1/2014 & 3/14/2016) the resistor control assembly was replaced along with the wire harness. The third time (11/29/2016) the blower motor was replaced. The fourth time the blower motor connector was replaced. Obviously these connectors are melting due to the current drawn by the blower motor. I believe there may be a tsb issue, but Ford refuses to assist as the vehicle is out of warranty. The dealership refuses to help or honor any warranty because they manage to replace "different" parts each time, though I believe that if the blower motor, the resistor, and all connectors were all replaced at the onset when the vehicle was under warranty one or more of these repairs could have been avoided. There is a safety issue presented during when the fan blower stops working suddenly, and the windshield will not defrost in the winter. This has happened while driving. During the summer during high humidity, the sudden failure of the fan blower motor also causes the driver windshield to fog up abruptly, also a safety hazard. Both have happened to me. The cost of the repairs $368, $455, $165 (~$1000) thus far with the first claim being under warranty. I'm concerned that after 4 visits for the same concern, this will repeatedly happen. Not sure if it makes a difference but my vehicle has the integrated onboard navigation system.

Battery, starter and flywheel. Flywheel missing teeth possibly after failed battery. Originally my car was jump started by aaa 01/2014 due to battery failure. Was advised to get battery replaced. Which was reluctantly replaced by Ford at 36,805 01/2014. Unfortunately, this may have triggered a noise that I ignored for a time, where when the car would start sometimes it would make a loud noise. It was not every start, but it did become increasingly pronounced. In may I finally went back to the dealer who said I had teeth missing from the starter and fly wheel and that it was my fault for trying to start the car while it was running (though my car has the start lockout feature). The dealer wanted over $1700 to replace flywheel and starter. Opened a case with Ford and they covered the majority of the repair, leaving me with about a $450 deductible. After the repair was approved, dealer re-classified the problem as the starter staying engaged which distorted the flywheel. I raise this case, because I think perhaps the failed battery could have been the cause, but further the replacement battery failed again in 6/25/2017, which I replaced again. On my 3rd battery. May be worth noting that my vehicle is equipped with integrated navigation system and display. Could battery failure also be the source of repeated fan blower motor issue?

I was driving on a busy city street during rush hour when I noticed the car jerking when it changed gears. The RPM would shoot up high then back down while losing power to the vehicle. I managed to get to an auto advance store where I had a diagnostic done since my check engine light was on. The diagnostic came back with code PO455 twice and PO457 twice. It was then explained that too much air was getting into my fuel system. I proceeded to go to the Ford dealership, which was a half mile away. On the way, my car continued to jerk and loose power and some points. Then everything digital which one displays my mileage and the other displays how many mile till empty displayed intermittent lines and the wrench illuminated on my dashboard. At this time my car was on but quickly lost power to go forward. It almost got rear ended by the car behind me. I put on my turn signal and I coasted to the side of the road, turn off my car waited a few minutes the turned back on and put it in drive. The car would not move forward. The engine just revved up like I had it in neutral. I put it back in park then put it in reverse. The car would operate in reverse. Had to have car towed to dealership. Three months prior to this incident, I had to take my car to the dealership because of excessive battery acid on my positive terminal that had eaten through the wiring harness. Had to have harness and battery replaced. I still notice issues of battery acid accumulating around the screws on the battery harness and positive lead again.

Began having problems with this vehicle the second month after purchase. The first incident was steering wheel locked and I could not control the direction of the car. I ended up on the left side of the road off the shoulder before I could stop it. It happened on several occasions. Car dies for no reason. I end up having it towed or restarted by charging battery. The battery always has a full charge. Also I have been shopping and get in the car to start it and it will not start. Door handles would not work from inside. Windows would not open. Had to force window down enough to open from the outside. Had front door handle assemble replaced had transfer case resealed horrible smell, new tires 3 times since it was purchased had rear drive shaft replaced, fuel pump replaced had taken it to Ford just recently for what I deemed was computer problems, of course they could not find anything wrong. I was told by my mechanic the last time I had new tires put on the car that I would need new rims soon. The rims are eroding from the inside out. I have several invoices for work that was done and a few more I can't locate at this time. I would like to send them all to you. Purchase car 12/1/12.
