CarComplaints.com Notes: Has the power steering started to show signs of failure in the 2014? Yeah, a little. Am I confident it will become a bigger problem over time? Yeah, a lot.
I had the bushing recall performed on 12/31/18 and the vehicle has never performed the same since. After this replacement the vehicle began missing, to the point of stalling out. I took it to get diagnosed on 7/11/19 where purchased & the recall was performed (RICART Ford; may be the problem). The performed a multi point inspection and could not diagnose a problem. The problem persist the the point of stalling out and not restarting. Towed back to dealership on 7/22/19; they could not duplicate the concern, no codes. Started fine for them and released on 8/7/19. Problem occurred again. Towed into dealership on 9/17/19; they had the car until 10/15/19 and could not still diagnose the problem. I have taken to an independent repair shop since. They checked the battery and starter. The vehicle dashboard panel will light up, fuel pump will "compress" but the vehicle will not start.
When I put my key in the ignition and try to start the car, All of the electrical stops, no lights no power until I open the hood and wiggle the battery then everything lights up and the car is fine. Happening almost daily now. Could it be a bad ignition switch. It is a 2014 Ford Fusion.
Multiple times since purchasing this car in January 2015 this has happened. It usually occurs after driving a short distance, turning off the car for a few minutes and returning to restart the car. All of the "idiot" lights come on but the car does not turn over and does not start. I have had the dealership check it out and (of course) they can find nothing wrong and cannot find any complaints of this nature.
