Recall. Told to not charge our Ford Fusion Rechargeable Hybrid for fear of a fire! No solution now for 6 months. Told to run gas engine only. Car was not designed to be used this way which is a safety hazard in itself. Filed for gas card 5 months ago, no gas card issued. My spouse is an active nurse and Christian community activist. She relies on this vehicle. If we do not have some action from Ford in another 30 days, we will be forced to file for an Arizona Lemon Law replacement.
