My vehicle has lost all power steering, and is giving notice that steering assist fault service is required. The vehicle also is manufactured and produced during they same time recall notice 19S26 came out, however, Ford is stating the VIN is not associated with that recall.

My transmission has failed multiple times. Luckily my car is under warranty, because I have been able to have it replaced twice, but both times, these malfunctions have put my life and countless others in danger, because the failure is sudden and not preceded by any warnings. This problem has reproduced twice and been confirmed and fixed both times by Sun-??s Auto in Spring Texas. The vehicle has been inspected recently by the manufacturer as my shifter bushings also disconnected as part of a separate recall, resulting in a similar situation as the transmission failure. There have been no warnings prior to any of these issues occurring, and at this point recalling individual parts is not sufficient. The transmission and shifter bushing issues alone cost more to repair than the car is worth at this point, and they are extremely dangerous, especially when combined with the other active safety recalls for this same car such as the brakes, door latches, and steering. Almost every aspect of this car is unsafe as manufactured.

Turned vehicle on one day & the parking break light came on, attempted to disengage with the parking break button but nothing released the breaks. Wouldn-??t let me move the car when in drive. After trying to disengage with the button many times, decided to undo the battery because its electric & i was hoping to reset it & wait 20 mins. After doing so the release parking break warning, park break malfunction warning & parking break light was still on & it still didn-??t move for another 20 minutes then suddenly after putting it in drive again it let me move. Now the release parking break warning, park break malfunction warning & the parking break light stays on even when actively driving & beeps the entire drive. No auto shops I-??ve been to knows how to fix this! HELP PLEASE

Rear view video system is failing either completely or halfway during the back up. Warning message says to contact dealership, who wants to run diagnostics in order to figure out cause. Despite video failure, the audio has continued to work properly. Did not want to pay costly fee to run diagnostics without shopping around for lower price.

Rear backup camera intermittently functions. Often going out for the entire duration of backup parking or departing driveway onto street (10 seconds). Reporting date of today but I was un-aware I could report these problems. Seems to have manifested shortly after warranty expiration.

This problem has happened multiple times over the last few years. The windows, air conditioning and radio just stop working. Safety issue - hot day and can't roll windows down or turn the air on! Dealership wouldn't fix it because everything turned back on when we got to dealer, and then again stopped working again later. Very sporadic. Currently not working again.

The trunk on my 2014 ford fusion SE randomly opens. This occurs 3 to 4 times per day. Sometimes while driving, other times while its parked. This obstructs my view, and can cause danger to other drivers if contents in my trunk fly out.

My son completely lost control over the steering wheel while driving on the high way with 65mph, he hardly managed - was lucky - to control the vehicle till it stopped safely. I can not emphasize how much dangerous this was (he received alarm on the dashboard and lost steering power directly after the alarm ).

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that upon driving after the vehicle had been exposed to rain or water at the carwash, the side mirrors would readjust unintendedly while driving. The contact stated that while driving 75 MPH and changing lanes, the failure reoccurred, causing him to lose visibility of another vehicle, which almost caused a crash. The contact was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the side mirrors wiring needed to be rewired. The dealer informed the contact that he had to pay for the repair out-of-pocket; however, the contact declined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.

My 2014 Ford fusion completely lost power and wouldn't even start or turn on novemeber13, 2022. The car was towed to a dealership, and I was told that the coolant was going inside of the engine and causing corrasion. We contacted the warranty company and was told that this was a manufacture's default and that they wouldn't fix/ replace my engine because my whole engine needed to be replaced. I contacted ford and they said there was no recalls on my car and in 2017 I saw on cars.com that the engine/ coolant system for ford fusions from 2014-2017 were recalled but Ford said there was no such recall and that their recalls have an S in them and not a v.

There is an electrical issue where the whole interior/dash system and door panel buttons fault. There is no heat or air flow and the windows will not roll up or down. If the windows are rolled up during summer and it faults the car gets up over 100 degrees quickly. This could kill me and my passengers. Also if it is cold or raining with there being no air flow the front windshield fogs and there is no defrost causing visibility to completely diminish. We have taken to a Ford dealership for repair and they did not fix the issue. This has been an ongoing issue for 2 years. We have also attempted to replace the whole control module and this did not fix the issue. I do not have any more money to put into this car in an attempt to fix the issue and it may not work. This is very unsafe for myself as well as the children in my care with child death tolls growing due to heat exposure in hot cars or freezing in the winter. This is at no fault of my own. No warning signs show on the vehicle prior to this happening.

I have an Electronic Brake System in my Ford Fusion. I rarely use the function. However, when entering into my vehicle, the Electronic Brake System is flashing BRAKE repeatedly, even when I never placed it in that function when turning off my car prior. I went to get my car tested and nothing was found. No problem codes. This may be a defect with the car itself.
