Air conditioner turns on by itself. None of the buttons work on the steering wheel unless you hit the steering wheel. Sometimes when you turn on the car all the lights stay on and there is traction issues. If you turn the car back off and then back on it goes away.

The charger for this car has a recall on it. Mine melted before the recall was put in place. I threw what was left of it away. For the recall, 2 dealers have now told me that I have to have the old one in order to get a new one. I also tried contacting Ford directly. All they said was to try a different dealer

I just boight this ca 10/22/21 from a local dealership, I realized the car had issues by the 3rd day after when the car had a front tire blowout and after I repaired both tires on drivers side I contacted the dealership to talk to them about the alignment cause the car was pulling. The dealership had there automotive specialist drive the vehiacle.the diagnosis to my complaint was that the vehicle was fine and would make to California and back. About a week later the car was giving me error that the charging system needed attention. The dealership has given me limited warranty when I purchased but have a strict rule about bringing in vehicle by 9am but I was unable to get a scheduled date confirmed so I tried charging the battery with cables at that point the cables caught on fire after difusing that issue I was able to jump car and get home the next day I purchased a battery charger and charged my battery at home for 24 hours. I appplied battery in the car the day after and wemt to test drive it, it left me stranded and I had to have it towed home the car had completely shut down at that point so I took in my own hands to just send it to the local Ford dealership instead of the dealership where I bought car from cause the length of time it takes to get them to call you back is lengthy and I need to get to work and back its important so I had car towed from my home to maxwell Ford. I also had learned of 6 recalls that had been left unattended to so I figured I would get those fixed at the same time as the issue with the battery. The vehicle has been in the shop since the 11th of December with now a cost of almost 5600 dollars and thats where I am with things.

Battery chronically drains when car is sitting for a day or more. This has been happening since we purchased the car in 2016. It seems as if all the components of the car aren't shutting off completely (even when we check carefully to make sure they are off) or that they are coming on later after the car is turned off. This means we never know when the car will die and leave us stranded somewhere. We've replaced the battery several times and the dealership can't seem to fix this ongoing problem. This is also a problem that many other people report as an issue online.

The charger for the plug-in hybrid component of the vehicle started a fire that damaged my property and vehicle. Ford failed to provide a replacement of the recalled charger, including when vehicle was at dealerships, despite my request at the time. Had I not noticed the fire immediately, it likely would have been catastrophic. Fortunately, I was able to use all of a full fire extinguisher to put it out. I contacted Ford about this matter and was told by their corporate customer service that they had no information or assistance of any kind to provide me. I requested a manager call me however I have not received a call back.

Check Engine light and Wrench light illuminated on the car Sunday. However, the car was at the dealer twice the same week before this happened. I pulled over because the vehicle was performing rough into a Lowes parking lot. I was within several hundred feet of a Ford dealer and drove it there. The vehicle smelled like smoke and noise from the rear of the vehicle. Service advisor Roxanne Detgen, t. no. 586-840-1086, at Dorian Ford, says that the car likely needs a new engine. She has contacted Ford motor company and then will contact me to authorize a teardown of the engine. The vehicle is a safety risk because it had sudden poor driving performance without the illumination of any lights, loss of power, and is a fire hazard. In fact, it was at the dealer twice the same week this happened and no lights were on.

The power windows all quit working at the same time. After a few weeks the passenger front window started working. I took the car in for a recall, at that time I asked them to check the windows as well as the locks. The only way to lock the car was the key fob. No codes came up when put on dialysis. The windows all worked after they checked, they suggested replacing the masterwindow switch. I declined since the windows worked. Shortly after my control panel quit working I cannot get any heat or air. This wil periodically work for a few minutes then quit. Recently the low tire pressure system will come on, tire pressures are perfect, after turning off the car the light goes away. Everything except the tire light has happened while driving and while parked. Tire pressure has only happened while driving. Also when the console quit working the outside temperature does not show on the dash.

I've had my car for 5 years. 6 months after I purchased it it started showing transmission issues. It's almost like it gets stuck in a gear when trying to accelerate, and then it flings your forward. When driving up a hill it won't go over 30mph. I took it in over 2 years ago to Ford and was told a transmission recall for 2014 Ford Fusion was coming. 2 years later and I'm being told my car doesn't qualify but is showing all the signs that's listed on the recall. Just last week my car shut off while driving on the freeway with my kids in the car. Since it's happened 3 times. Since it started shutting off while driving a new issue has progressed. My car now jerks when trying to accelerate. If I have the heater in it smells like something is burning. We used a code reader and it told us transmission issues but Ford still says I don't qualify.

Appearlly Ford Motor Company knew about apim system malfunctioning that they extended the warrant starting from 2014 for 5 years and didn't notify to the customers so after your warranty is gone the apim system will no longer work and by law all manufacturing need to notify of any abnormal situation on your vehicle. Their understanding is that this does not fall under a safety recall, but without having the speakers or sound working you will not hear your seatbelt chime you will not hear your motor senses chime when crossing A-line, you will not hear your vehicles chime reversing nor will you see your camera. I have seen 1000ths of people having the same problem and Ford will not fix it because "their warranty has expired" they are requesting $1000 to fix it.hopefully this can be announced for another customers before their warranty expires and they don't have to pay 1000 dollars like myself

While driving on a 2 lane flat road the car started losing power, when I press the gas harder the car really speeded up and after 2 blocks it started losing power again, within that time the "hill start assist" warning light came on and went off losing power on and off for 5 miles until I reached home. After getting home I notice the brake light didn't go off after 2 hours, so I had to remove battery cable. I had to have it towed to repair shop and they repaired brake switch because I didn't know if it would stop completely.
