While driving on the freeway lost control of steering, spun around into traffic when trying to switch lanes, and flipped over multiple times across the freeway without airbag deployment. My passenger and I suffered injury due to this. I am still going to physical therapy for my shoulder. No messages prior to the accident, I made sure to follow all safety precautions and take care of maintenance, and all safety recalls as soon as possible. The car has been sent over to the police and insurance company for further inspection.

The steering wheel catches when turning right and left. It is physically hard to straighten the wheel back out. Upon searching, there are recalls for the steering mechanisms in ford fusions, however my specific vehicle does not come up. I do believe that my vehicle is part of this issue.

Today, I was told by mechanic that all the lug nuts had to be replaced when they attempted to rotate the tires because the lug nuts were swollen. This is costing me $164 in parts and $74.99 in labor.

Had issues with Ford Fusion not shifting into a higher gear. Car would Rev up to over 4RPM and still wouldn-??t shift up. (Automatic) Could-??ve caused a crash had it happened driving on a highway. Took car to the mechanic and I just found out from the mechanic that it needs a new transmission! My car is mainly used for commuting and has about 150000 miles on it. I have looked up issues with this vehicle and this is a known issue! HELP! FORD should be recalling the bad transmission and fixing the problem!

The car stalls randomly when running at low speeds / low rpms. Scenario: after being parked for extended period of time, like overnight. Drive few miles, 5 to 10 miles and stop at parking lot. Upon re-starting the car and driving slow on the parking lot, the car suddenly lose power and stalls. Need to put on park and crank for about 5 to 10 seconds to restart. Then runs fine. Couple of times was crossing a road from a parking lot and stalled right across the incoming traffic. No engine light. Took to mechanic which could not reproduce the problem.

[XXX] 11/2/21. I was driving mi kids to the movies on 10/31/21 when suddenly I made a right turn to enter the theater parking lot, and the left rear door open. My daughter was sitting there and tilt to the left while the door was open, she grabbed my seat to hold her self. She was with her seat belt on, and I was entering the parking lot at low speed, which I am very thankful. I already made an appointment with my local Ford dealer for them to fix the problem, but I really can't trust this vehicle anymore. That's a serious safety concern that the doors don't latch to securely close. This is a LEMON CAR and I don't feel safe. I will like to get help with getting this vehicle off my hands and from any other's persons possession, IT'S NOT SAFE! Now I just learned that there's more safety recalls on the vehicle besides the doors not latching. Please help me.

While driving the transmission shifts extremely hard. When you accelerate to pass or speed up the car downshifts the RPMs skyrocket and the cars transmission is stuck causing an extremely dangerous situation. Driving down the road the car jerks or RPMs will go up for no reason. The car recently got stuck at n reverse in a parking garage. Backing up the gearshift went into park and the transmission stuck in revers. Took to dealership and was told they didn-??t have time to look at it after having cut for a whole day and half after I had yo pay for my own rental car. She said that-??s just how the transmission is.

My car is hard shifting, doesn't pick up on speed and has a whining noise coming underneath the hood of the car. My fluid levels are bad the fluid is black I got the 5 quarts replaced but there is still black fluid in the rest of the transmission. Is that causing my car to still mess up?

While driving on the highway last week at around 65 mph (10 minutes into my commute), my car display sensor started indicating that there was a door that became loose and unlatched. I had nobody in the car with me and noticed that the passenger front door popped loose and needed to be pushed closed. I have not seen the incident occur a second time, not has it been inspected.

While at drive through at Smoothie King, brakes just went out WITH NO WARNING. I had to press the brake pedal all the way to the ground and the car eventually stopped. Noone was hurt, no property or car was damaged (thank goodness) Slowly drove in parking lot and called wife to meet me. Then the indicator "Low brake fluid" flashed. Took other car to auto parts, purchase brake fluid. Went back to car, poured brake fluid in car. Did not help as still had to press brake pedal all the way to floor. Saw puddle of brake fluid on ground. Searched online and saw same issue on Ford Fusion reported as there was no warning. Some people got into an accident, others did not. When I called Ford today at 8:48 am, rep said VIN # not on recall but said there have been brake issues but my VIN # is not on recall. I do not want to pay for the cost as I would have to have the car towed to the Ford shop. I am being proactive to have it reported so it can be repaired at no cost like all of the recalls on my car.

On June 15th, 2021 The APM module stopped working as well as the audio control module in my 2014 Ford fusion. The radio did not work. The phone remained connected, I could call out, people could dial in, people could hear me but I could not hear them. Since my hands-free device no longer worked that put me at a safety risk. I am currently paying for the dealer to replace the APIM module, and they have already replaced the audio control module at my cost. The component is under recall for multiple other Ford Models. There has been a technical safety bulletin on it for my model and they have replaced it up to six years. Mine did not go out until the 7th year.
