This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My trunk pops open by itself, without being activated. So far, if I keep my car locked, it will stay shut, but it has popped open while the vehicle was in motion. This is a safety hazard! It has been happening every day for the last several months.
The trunk on the Fusion randomly opens on it's own, the key fob can be hanging inside the house, it opens when it's sunny, cloudy, dark, when the car is parked or when I am driving the car, which is a safety hazard as it can block my vision behind the car. It has been happening for over a year now. No warning lights alert of the soon to pop open trunk. Looked for solutions and none are available, many experience same issue and have gone to dealership and they aren't able to correct the problem
My trunk keeps opening on it's own. With the keys on me, not in my hands. Without the keys on me. While driving, while not driving, just completely at random. My trunk is continuously opening. From my research this seems to be a pretty common thing for this make and model of car, and I think it's time that it be recalled and fixed. It's not safe from a driving standpoint nor a personal safety standpoint.
