2017 Ford Fusion

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MULLINAX FORD OF OLYMPIA FOR A SQUEAK DURING SUSPENSION JOUNCE. THEY TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A BRAKE LINE RUBBING ON THE SWAY BAR. THEY ALLEGEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. ON MARCH 5, 2019, I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE HYDRAULIC FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SKYLINE FORD IN SALEM, OR FOR REPAIRS AND THEY FOUND A BRAKE LINE FAILURE DUE TO RUBBING THE VEHICLE'S SWAY BAR. I BELIEVE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND AM REQUESTING A FULL INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE VOLUME OF FORD FUSION VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THE SEVERITY OF A BRAKE HYDRAULIC FAILURE. THE ISSUE MAY BE CONFINED TO "SPORT" MODELS WHICH MAY HAVE A LARGER FRONT SWAY BAR THAN OTHER FUSION MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 50,000 MILES WHICH IS ABNORMALLY HIGH FOR A 2017 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE. AS OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE ACQUIRE THE MILEAGE MY VEHICLE HAS, MORE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THE SPORT MODEL WAS NOT PRODUCED BEFORE 2017

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FUSION 2017 HAVE AROUND 79,500 MILES ON IT NOW IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS. LAST WEEK THE CAR WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT WOULD COME OFF AND ON AS I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR WOULD PLOW WHEN ACCELERATION RANDOMLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT THE CAR WOULD STALL AND REV BUT WOULDN'T GO SAME WHEN I WOULD BE TURNING SLOWING DOWN IT WOULDN'T GO. IT DOESN'T HAVE COVERAGE ON WARRANTY BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS THE MILES I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A TRANSMISSION I'M STILL PAYING THE CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT COST 5,000 PLUS OTHER FEES FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO PAY FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION, THEY SOLD ME A BAD TRANSMISSION!NOW I'M PILED WITH FEES OF RENTAL BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO GIVE A COURTESY RENTAL ! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

PRIMARY CONCERN: CAR LOSES ALL PROPULSION AND GOES INTO ACCESORY MODE WHEN ACCELERATING. I, AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS WITH 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT MODELS, HAVE LOST TOTAL POWER WHILE LEAVING RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, AND WORST OF ALL, MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR DIED UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MONTHS APART FROM EACH OTHER. A MEMBER OF OUR FACEBOOK GROUP OF FUSION SPORT OWNERS CAPTURED HIS CAR LOSE ALL POWER, ON VIDEO, AND HIS CAR IS BEING BOUGHT BACK BY FORD, BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. THESE CARS, ALTHOUGH FUN AND ENJOYABLE, POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO NOT ONLY THE OWNERS OF THE CAR, BUT ALSO TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WHO COULD HIT US FROM BEHIND, INJURING OF KILLING PASSENGERS IN EITHER VEHICLE, OR VEHICLES NEARBY. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REMOVED FROM THE ROAD. HERE IS HIS VIDEO: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/NLNN0HKRHTG

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR DID NOT GO MORE THAN 10 FEET BACKWARDS WHEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO RESTART. IT TOOK MORE THAN 10 MINUTES TO RESTART AND IT TOOK 3-4 TIMES OF PUTTING ON THE BRAKE AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON BEFORE THE SYSTEM WOULD RE-INITIATE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR HAD DONE THIS AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM AND TO RE-START. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN UPLAND, CA AND THEY DID A SYSTEM/CHARGING CIRCUITS-CHARGE-TEST AND NOTHING CAME FROM THE TEST. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT SINCE THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING IT COST ME $ 95.

I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR THE PREVIOUS DAY AND PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. I HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY ONLY 4 MONTHS PRIOR. IT WAS A NEW BATTERY. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN UPLAND AND THEY TESTED STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM CIRCUITS-CHARGE-TEST NOTHING CAME UP. I HAD CHARGED THE BATTERY EARLIER THAT DAY TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY DISCHARGED THE BATTERY AND BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY.
