2017 Ford Fusion

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH NO WARNING AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO RESUME DRIVING THE CAR SAID IT WAS IN ACCESSORY MODE. I STARTED TO ROLL BACK AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. I PULLED OVER FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE FEELING SAFE TO PROCEED. THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER CARS BEHIND ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND I AM THANKFUL I DID NOT ROLL BACK INTO ONE OF THEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THERE WERE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS. I HOWEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL THAT WAS CAUSING A HARSH SHIFT THAT I WAS TAKING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS FOR. THERE IS ONLY 10821 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCHES, SEALS, AND BUSHING ACCORDING TO THE REPORT WE RECEIVED. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH A NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THIS SOON. I AM CONCERNED IF OTHERS WOULD FIND THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE NEW FUSION SPORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLINER FELL OUT OF PLACE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MID VALLEY FORD DEALER LOCATED AT 201 NE POLK SATION RD, DALLAS, OR) AND THE HEADLINER WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE WELDED INTO THE WRONG POSITION IN THE VEHICLE. THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE DETACHED AND RE-WELDED INTO THE CORRECT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

CAR IS A 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT 2.7L ECOBOOST CAR STALLED RANDOMLY. DROVE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO STALLING. WAS STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, THE CAR STALLED AND WENT INTO FULL ACCESSORY MODE. STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AFTERWARDS WITH NO PROBLEMS. CAR HAS 8500 MILES ON IT. A CAR STALLING WHILE IN DRIVE IS UNSAFE IN THE CASE OF BEING ON TRAIN TRACKS, STALLING COULD BE FATAL. CAN NOT BE REPLICATED AND NO CODES THROWN. WITH NO CODES, DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. SEVERAL OTHERS (CAR EXPERTS, SOME ASE CERTIFIED) STATE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR COULD BE THE FAULT.

HAVE HAD CAR FOR JUST ONE YEAR 18676 MILES AND IT HAS TURNED OFF RANDOMLY 3 TIMES DURING THIS TIME. RANDOMLY UNDER LIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DASH IT SAYS FULL ACCESSORY LIKE YOU JUST PUSHED THE BUTTON WITH OUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE TO START. ONCE COASTED TO A SAFE LOCATION YOU CAN RESTART THE CAR AND EVERYTHING RUNS FINE. NO CODES ARE LOGGED WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AS YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT LEAVES THE CAR WITHOUT POWER.

WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOOSEN. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME OFF. I WAS TRAVELING ON I-94 FROM MILWAUKEE TO THE CHICAGO AREA, SO IT WAS FLAT ROAD, GOOD CONDITIONS. I DROPPED MY SPEED TO 55 AS I WAS AFRAID TO GO THE POSTED 70 MPH WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AS IT WAS. WHEN I GOT HOME I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BOLT INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOOSE. THEY FIXED IT.

UPON DECELERATING, MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING ON A SUBURBAN CITY STREET AT APPROX. 35 MPH, AND DECELERATED TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON PRESSING THE GAS TO START GOING AGAIN, I NOTICED THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AS A CAR THAT LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION.

IN JULY 2017 I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT WITH THE 2.7 V6 WITHIN 300 MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A HILL AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY SCANNED THE CAR AND NO CODES CAME UP AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT A CODE. I TOOK THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND NO CODES. THEY TOLD ME FORD WOULD NOT APPROVE ANY REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT HAVING A CODE AND A CONFIRMED ISSUE. I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP THAT COULD KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE AND FORD WON'T HELP. I FOUND ON AN ONLINE GROUP OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT RESOLVED BY FORD. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE TO. BUT THE STALLING IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LEMON LAW FOR MY STATE SAYS I MUST LET HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIX THE CAR TO QUALIFY BUT THE IS NO TRACE LEFT BEHIND AFTER STALLING THEREFORE FORD HAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. DO NOT BUY!

BOUNCE BACK WINDOW FEATURE CAN NOT BE DISABLED. EVERY TIME MY WIFE OPENS THE SIDE WINDOW, THE WINDOW WILL NOT CLOSE. THE WINDOW GOES TO THE TOP AND COMES BACK DOWN BY ITSELF. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED IT. THE NEXT TIME MY WIFE TOUCHED IT, IT FAILED. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET GAVE A FEW THOUSAND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REPROGRAM IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. SHE LOWERED THE WINDOW ON THE INTERSTATE. THEN SHE TRIED TO CLOSE IT. IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. NOW SHE IS GOING 65 MPH AND FOOLING AROUND WITH THE WINDOW TRYING TO GET IT TO CLOSE. SHE SHOULD BE CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING, NOT FOOLING AROUND WITH A WINDOW. FURTHERMORE, IF SHE IS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND SEES SOME SEEDY INDIVIDUAL COMING NEAR HER SHE CAN'T CLOSE THE WINDOW.
