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.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion energi. The contact stated that the defroster and windows were inoperable and provided low visibility. In addition, the check engine, side impact, and electronic malfunction warning indicators were illuminated. The vehicle was taken several times to roberts motors, Inc. (4350 N alby St, alton, il 62002, (855) 999-5497) where it was diagnosed that the computer module and wiring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 45,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion energi. While attempting to pull the electrical charger out of the vehicle, the charger was extremely hot. The charger burned the contact's hand. There were no injuries that required medical attention. The contact dropped the charger and it landed on the rear driver's seat and burned a hole in the seat. The vehicle was taken to ken garff Ford (597 E 1000 South, american fork, ut 84003), but they were not able to determine why the charger became so hot. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.
Center console becomes non-responsive with buttons. A/C losses connection and windows get locked into position as well as power seats. Happens intermittently. More common when it gets really hot out.
Ford Fusion energi, did its low powered state again, this time on the free way, dropping rapidly from 75mph to 22mph and barely able to maintain that speed. The display showed the safety features becoming deactivated. Something new though, the headlights went out and the console dimmed and was barely readable, I turned on my hazards and I hope they where working, either way I was fortunate enough to avoid a rear end collision and got the vehicle off the road. This about 7th time Ford will work on the vehicle, and another week or more without a vehicle, waiting for the next available appointment. These Fusion are becoming the new Ford pinto. I really hope that several people don't have to die, before Ford is forced to recall these death traps.
1) first issue happened 2/20/2017 odometer 7,036. Dashboard lit up, trac control, engine light, brake, message to pull over, loss of power and at freeway speed, got over shoulder safely. The onboard diagnostics system detected engine misfire, transmission related problems. Brought it in for service and couldn't duplicate issue. Nothing fixed or repaired 2) second time same issue happened 7/21/2017 odometer 15,736 going up a hill West bound on mccall, loss of power and almost got rear ended by a couple of vehicles. Vehicle is in service as I fill this out.
