A third party hacked my CPU/Transmission Control System causing malfunction with the engine. The engine randomly would cut off during traffic, and I would need to press gas directly after starting the vehicle to go. My vehicle was fairly new and transmission module should not be ineffective after purchasing my vehicle last July 2023 with less than 80K miles. The notification that makes the vehicle stay in the lane would malfunction randomly notifying me of failure to sensor active crash alert. I also have inability to connect to Ford vehicle app with no reason provided to cut off WiFi connectivity. Please review external IP as I can hear communication of third party observing my way of driving and communication while attempting to drive causing distraction affecting safety of myself, my location placement, and health of the car. Possible CPU/transmission/AC connectivity from July 2023 to Malfunction of vehicle starting 10/2024.

Backup camera operates intermittently in when in reverse, coming on for about 10 seconds before cutting or not coming on at all, which causes near misses when backing up. Also, camera periodically remains on for 10-15 seconds once shifting into drive which is distracting when pulling into traffic and causes near misses. Furthermore, the camera sometimes activates for 10-15 seconds when shifted into drive from park, again very distracting when pulling into traffic. Problem has persisted for at least 5 years, most recent incident today. Service consultant at two different Ford dealers denied knowledge of this problem.

When driving the car will stall out and die in the driving state. This occurs without warning from any sensor light error warnings. After acceleration to 35 it will sputter as if the fuel is not flowing, yet then it will correct but stall and completely die during operation while driving. Have had both the upper and lower full pumps installed within the last calendar yet still currently having the problem or issue. Experiencing the exact same Eco boost concerns as other Ford models have been recalled for as of recent

I've had my Ford Fusion SE ecoboost 1.5, 2014 in for service on 2 separate occasions a day apart for the same reoccurring problems. The first service there was the actions done related to recalls which are consistent with 20S15 A-C and recall 23E03 B. The reasons for my Ford Fusion 1.5 to have been brought to the Premier Ford, Waveland, Ms was as follows: The temperature overheat lamp light was jared, there was 3 leaks from the overheat, there was a Shutter and sounds that came from the engine, (LIMP*)and there was no fuel power through acceleration. There had been moisture located on exhaust before brakedown without having been driven for approximately 10hrs before brakedown. 2ed service was as follows: temperature overheat lamp light jared, no power through fuel to accelerate, and issues starting. LIMP* I had not on this brakedown paid attention to if my Fusion needed water, the engines performance in regards to shakes or sounds nor did I look to notice nor did I look for leaks. I called directly to Premier Ford, Waveland and had my Ford towed in. The service was as follows: 1) 3U2Z*14S411 WPT988 WIRE ASY 2) DS7Z*8501 PW556 PUMPASP-WATER 3) BE8Z*8507 GASKET-WATER PUMP 4)VC 3801132 ANTI-FREEZE 5) 6 BM5Z*6K2543*S437 SCREW 6) BM5Z*6K254 TENSIONER - TIMING BELT With the parts $261.44 Labor $1748.99 misc charges $50 for a total of after taxes $2204.66 I picked up my Ford Fusion on October 4, 2024 and on October 9, 2024 I went beck to the Premier Ford and spoke with the service department because I had to stop and let my Fusion cool every 20 to 30 minutes, I stated that there was some loss of water and it was overheating, the power train light warning notify me of an issue, and that my Fusion would not go over 80miles per hr. The service department associate seemed frustrated with me and argued the fact that it had ran hot and said that the reason for the speed issue was that the lamp was Identifying the keylock complete on pdf

"Temporarily lost communication with climate system". This fault has appeared several times. When it comes up, no controls in the vehicle work. This includes ac/heater, windows and radio. My daughter had to drive home from work last week with no ac and no means of putting the windows down. The temperature in the car was pushing 100 degrees. This is not safe and it's not the first time. You can get online and find many examples of the same issue on several models. When I spoke to the local Ford dealer service department, they had no answer.

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.
