The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. While the contact's daughter was driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized. The contact's daughter had to use excessive strength to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle was turned off and would not restart and "power assist fault" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed by the contact's father and taken to tyler Ford (2626 S sw loop 323, tyler, tx 75701, (800) 788-7876). The vehicle was currently being diagnosed and may be repaired if the failure was under warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Everytime I put my car in gear, either reverse or drive, the gas tank door will open up. The gas tank button doesn't work and neither does the ev button for pure electric drive. The only way to open the gas tank door is to put the car in gear.

In the summer of last year 2018 I was in a store shopping came out cranked my car, the air would not come on and the windows would not roll down. It was in the 90's that day and even hotter inside my car! the vehicle was stationary at the time in the parking lot. It had this problem the rest of the summer while the temperatures outside was hot. It is April 2019 and just a few days ago we had a warm day around 75 degrees. I left for work stopped at the end of my driveway had the car in park and left my door open while I got the mail. Got back in and again did not have air and could not roll the windows down. Every time this happens the radio will not work either. Last year during the time the air and windows were not working my battery was dead when I was going to go to work one morning. Took it out and went and had it tested at local auto parts store. They said they had never seen a battery that they couldn't read like that before. It's like the battery was fried. Along with those problems last year my car was stationary at home in my driveway and I went to get in my car and my doors were locked I tried the remote and the keyless entry and nothing would unlock my doors. So I had no access to get into my car. A few days later I tried again and it unlocked. I've also came home a couple times at night in the past week and noticed the inside lights where the air/heat & radio controls are is flashing on and off and the outside ground lights under the mirrors on the driver and passenger door are on. I had to unhook battery. No keys in ignition and car is stationary in my driveway. I think this is a major safety issue when you have no air and you can't roll down your windows in hot weather and also when you get locked out of your car. The car is definitely not drivable in hot weather! unknown cause, may possibly be something in the computer or wiring of the car.

I currently have a safety recall for a failed thermistor on my charging cable for my 2014 Ford Fusion energi plugin hybrid. Safety recall states that there is a chance of fire when plugging in the car to my home outlet using the charging cable that comes with the vehicle. My Ford dealership is aware and I have reached out multiple times about a replacement but there are none in stock. So at this time I do not feel it is safe to charge my vehicle until a new charging cable that meets the safety requirements with new thermistor is provided.

March 7 2019 I turned my car on noticed my heat was not on and my seat did not move, turned my car off and on still wasn't working, touch screen wasn't working, passenger side windows didn't work the driver side did, there wasn't anything showing that there was anything wrong. Drove home without any heat, when I got home I turned it off and on, then everything worked fine. March 10, I was driving no warning lights, my car just shut off driving through my apartment on the way to store then it turned back on. Then I drove for a couple hours went to another store left my daughter in the car with the dog and some music then it said that it was going to shut down to conserve battery, my car was dead couldn't turn over I had to get a jump to get it to start. Took it to a shop March 11 they said there was nothing wrong with my car and there was no codes.

Driving steady state on normal state highway road surface in dry daylight conditions, the vehicle began chiming and displaying a long sequence of error messages and mils. After a few seconds, speedometer zeroed and cluster lost power. Center stack then lost power. The vehicle had no exterior lights, no horn. Vehicle "believes" ignition is off, therefore no airbags. After pulling over and a key off/ key on, vehicle was normal for a couple minutes, then repeated this problem. Vehicle has been to 2 different dealers for this intermittent issue. First issue was with vehicle under warranty and dealer found no problem other than long list of codes. 2nd dealer in Dec 2018 performed repair detailed on tsb to wrap chaffed wire. Problem occurred again Jan 23 and 26, 2019. Additionally today vehicle will not start.

  • 27,000 miles
So I have a 2014 Fusion, bought pre-owned currently with about 16,000 miles. I recently noticed that my car when accelerating pauses to accelerate. This is especially noticeable trying to go from 0-60 as fast as possible. Also after slowing down and hitting the gas pedal it almost feels like no power is being applied to the engine momentarily. I was stationary, then in motion below 10mph crossing an intersection on a city street and to my right a vehicle was doing 40+ in a 25 and flew over a hill and almost hit me. When I went to accelerate to get out of his way, this is when I noticed the problem, I slammed the gas and didn't move until a literal second later, luckily he slammed his brakes and nothing happened. Reason unknown, however after experimenting in a safe environment some more, I noticed that it only really happens in drive, not sport. Although it is an automatic, they split up these sections and probably different "chips" that dictate these controls. It could be a delay between pressing the pedal and receiving power. Unfortunately, I cannot drive the vehicle and record at the same time as I don't have a safe way of doing so, and it looks like you don't allow video to be uploaded anyway. The vehicle currently has 27,000, model SE, 2.5L engine, semi-automatic transmission. Again, does delay in acceleration in drive, not sport.

April 13th, 2018 approximately 4:45pm. Picked up my kids from school get back into my car, start ignition and start driving home from school. Air conditioner stops working, locks lock, windows won't go down. There is no way to get air into the car.I took the car to peoria Ford on April 16, 2018 and they had the car 2 weeks and 1 day and replaced the electronic board. I received the car back on Tuesday May 1st. I drove the car on Sunday May 6th to take my kids to their fathers house. The air conditioning once again went out while driving, doors automatically locked and windows wouldn't roll down. The temperature was 101 when this happened. I drove it home and it sat in my driveway until Monday, May 7th. It had to be towed to the dealership as it was to hot to drive that day and the air conditioning would not work, windows wouldn't roll down and doors would lock upon driving. The radio also gets stuck into high volume so you have to turn the blue tooth on to get silence. This also happened early August 2017 and the engine was replaced in September/October 2017. This is a dangerous situation as the only way to get air to me and my children is to stop the car and get out. This does not work when you are in highway traffic. This happens both stationary and driving.
