I tried entering my car after church and the windows would not go down, radio would not turn on, locks would not work (car was just unlocked even though I used my key prior to lock it), and the air/heat controls would not work. The last couple of days in Michigan have been quite hot but this day it was close to 93 degrees and it felt like a sauna in my car. I have two young kids that I Transport in my car and with the hot weather and no ability for windows to go down or air to be turned on we could basically suffocate. I even waited until the next day (06/12/2017) and the car issues are still present: Locks not working, windows not working, radio not working, air not working, and all dash controls not working, and today my key controls (lock, unlock, and alarm) would not work. Even when I started the car this morning to take the kids to school nothing worked so we were in a hot car for about 20 minutes to get them to school before the real hot weather starts.

Took my car out of town didn't have any problems on the way, smooth ride. The next day I noticed my A/C went out in my car and was blowing hot air, I thought I just needed to recharge my air. Once we popped the hood to recharge we noticed something towards the bottom of my hood beneath one of the belts. Turned out the bolt holding the A/C clutch plate vibrated off resulting in my clutch plate to land on the bottom of the hood.

There has been a recall outstanding since last year (recall 15S16- door latch replacement, NHTSA campaign number: 15V246000). I have tried several Ford dealers and they all tell me the parts are not available. I do not want to wait for a fix for such a potentially dangerous defect.

2014 Ford Fusion SE, the trunk will open its' own, usually when I unlock the vehicle via the integrated keypad and, occasionally when using the key fob remote. The vehicle has also popped the trunk while unattended, while no effort to unlock the trunk was being made, by any means. This means that the vehicle is rendered unsecured, by its' own defect.

Headliner falling. The headliner is falling at the edge of the doors and all around the sunroof. It sagged so badly behind the sunroof that it detached from the roof and was blocking my rear view in the mirror. Worried that it could fall away from roof completely and cause an accident. From online searches it is a common issue.

I can hear "water" sloshing when starting, stopping and turning corner. When I slow down the heater blower cools. When I stop, the drivers side cools more and the passenger side is like having vents open in winter. There are not dual air temperature controls. The radiator fluid is completely full.

Door latch not working. Opened passenger door to put purchase in floor board and door would not secure. I had to tie the door shut to return to my property. Took the vehicle in to Ford dealership and was informed of no recall. Paid for repairs and one week after repairs Ford issues a recall for door latches the same issue I took the vehicle. Called dealership and Ford service and am informed no recall issued for my VIN number.

The right side rear passenger door latch broke and the door swung open while driving. I had to tie the door shut to get to the dealer. Thankfully my son was securely in a car seat because he sits next to this door. Dealer states that my specific car is not covered under the recall. I have to pay $540 for the latch.

Right rear blindspot sensor will either indicate a vehicle is present when there is none or fail to indicate a vehicle is present. This creates a safety hazard because the whole purpose of a blindspot sensor is to indicate the presence of a vehicle in the visible blindspot of the rear view mirrors. This problem has been ongoing since taking vehicle delivery in June of 2014 and has been reported to the dealer on 3 occasions when vehicle was in for routine service.

I believe, using the navigation system in voice-interactive mode while driving, is very hazardous. It requires voice answers which are displayed on the screen. Hence, too much eye contact (thus diverting the driver's eyes from the road) in determining what responses are recognizable and acceptable.

We live in nv and purchased our 2014 Ford Fusion on 2/29/16 (was corporate fleet vehicle with less than 20K mileage and still have mfg. Warranty coverage). We are starting to experience some warm days where we turned the air conditioner on, and we hear a gurgling sound (like water is running) while driving. To avoid a major issue before it gets warmer, I took the car to the Ford dealer yesterday (3/21) but due to their having a backlog, they were unable to actually look at the car yet they kept the car all afternoon. Then they called and said they would need to keep it till the next day. We chose to go get the car and take it back today (3/22). The service mgr. Called this morning letting me know that the "water running sound" is normal in the 2014 model. Then he stated with a chuckle the sound is "like little roaches running around in the dashboard" and his service tech found documentation issued by Ford engineering confirming this sound is normal. Mind you this person is a professional....he makes a comment as this! I let him know we had previously owned a 2007 Ford Fusion and never had this issue. He had nothing to say. I find his comment somewhat comical but very insulting; and I asked him to email me the documentation. Immediately I called the salesman and he is going to check into this further and get back to me. Meantime I have found zilch about the issue.

I purchased the Ford Focus in June of 2014. I am now 80 years old and thought this would be my last car. Shortly after purchase it became obvious that the transmission was not working properly. I experienced stuttering on acceleration which causes an unsafe condition when driving through an intersection. At times, the transmission will slip. Very frightening when this happens in the middle of an intersection. The transmission also causes the car to lurch forward on deceleration. Neither does it hold properly on a hill, and it can also make a grinding sound in the lower gears on take off. These conditions present a safety threat because it affects my ability to control the car on acceleration and deceleration. Ford has known about this problem since 2010 and has taken no action to rectify the situation. It appears it would be incumbent on the selling dealership to disclose this defect on purchase. I was finally informed of the problem at the first service when I complained. This is pure and simple non disclosure which is illegal in sales of any kind. I have had my car to the dealership at least 5 times complaining of the problem of this problem and each time they run some software which usually makes the situation worse or creates and additional problem. Not only is this a safey issue, but it has also created a loss of value for resale and untold hours of sitting in a showroom while the dealership is trying to fix what cannot be fixed. I have tried to work with Ford customer service with no success.

I keep getting a series of warning indicators; up hill assist is not available, service advance trak, no power steering, no traction control, no ABS, and the no air bag lights come on. This comes on while driving at normal, low speed on regular roads, when turning and also at higher speeds when driving on expressways. This is dangerous especially because my power steering does not work! there needs to be a recall!

There is a terrible noise inside the car with the windows down, it sounds like there is a military helicopter in the car with you. From dealer to Ford, they say it is "normal" it is a safety issue with the loud noise and vibration inside the car at highway speeds. Also the radio does not tune all the fm radio stations" why" I am told this is normal as well and mine isn't the only car that has these problems.

I took my car in to Ford for service on December 23, 2015. It received all good marks including no safety issues. On December 26, 2015 I parked my car and went shopping. When I returned, my left mirror was out of the programmed position. Once I started the car, the blind spot system default and cross traffic system default warnings illuminated. I took the car to Ford for service. There was an electronic system located within the mirror that went bad for no reason. This made the detection systems malfunction. The entire mirror unit must be replaced and it is not covered under warranty. It would cost over $500 us to replace.

The rear right door latch completely stopped working. There was no accident but the door now freely flies open. Very unsafe. There was a large recall on many Ford Fusion for exactly this reason but not yet this model.
