Trunk randomly opens and alarm goes off when parked and off. Trunk may randomly open while the vehicle is in motion. The safety concern is that the high voltage battery could get wet and become or cause a fire safety hazard. Additionally, it's plausible that items in the trunk could fly out into the roadway and cause an accident when it happens as the car is in motion.

1). 3 days after purchasing the vehicle I wasn't sure but I could tell that something was wrong so I called my husband and told him while driving the car that something was wrong and he needs to notify the dealership. 2). 5 days after purchasing the vehicle I went into a grocery store. When I came out the car was on/running, all by itself. 3). Additional problems occurring on a daily basis with the vehicle which lets me know that it's electrical problems are as follows: A. The vehicle randomly turns on and off all by itself, this is very hazardous. B). The headlights also randomly do not work while driving the car, day or night, which is very hazardous for both me and my clientele, as I am a Lyft driver. C). The interior lighting on the console and dashboard become dim or do not turn on at all, day or night. D). While driving the vehicle it does not always accelerate properly, which is very hazardous in traffic. E). The Bluetooth system connects and disconnects itself randomly. F). The air and heating system randomly turn on and off without being touched. G). Charging my phone in the vehicle is also challenging as it does not always work. H). Bluetooth radio stereo system is continuously problematic, volume randomly increases and decreases and turns on and off by itself, even with the vehicle completely shut down. I). After locking the doors, everything inside the car does not completely turn off. Interior lighting sometimes turns off and on separately, and it can take up to 30 minutes for the dashboard lighting to go off. J). The instrument panel often makes some sort of sound/noise and the gear shifter dial will aluminate even though the car is off/completely shut down. K). While driving, front windshield defogger will randomly turns on, causing the windshield to fog up, distorting vision, which is very hazardous. L).

Ford Fusion 2017 SE 2.0L Engine with 100,000 Miles. Check Engine Light came on, and a warning that the engine was overheating. Within a few seconds, the car would return to normal. This process would repeat continuously every few moments. The car was taken to a Ford Dealership, and it was noted that there was a blockage & leak that would cost $8,000 to repair. I called Ford Corporate and they said that the recall applying to hundred of thousands of Ford Fusions for this same issue did not apply to my car. Ford recalled 2013-2014 Fusion Vehicles (1.6L engine) for this issue. Ford recalled 2013-2019 Fusion Vehicles (1.5 L / 2.0L Ecoboost engine) for this issue. Why are certain vehicles omitted from this dangerous recall though this is a documented issue with Ford Fusions?

Shift cable bushing on the top of the transmission was found disintegrated upon inspection and only small remnants were found. Due to this issue, the cable was also found to be disconnected from the transmission. Prior to the inspection, a “Shift Sys” and “See Manual” error appeared on the dash screen with a yellow wrench while changing gears 3 separate times. The transmission then became stuck in neutral. This could cause myself or others to be stuck in a gear unable to safely leave their vehicles at their destination. This could also cause the reverse and leave myself or others stranded at their destinations. Research found that this same part and issue is under recall for all models 2013-2016 Ford Fusions. I believe this recall should be extended to the 2017 model as well. I have tended to the issue and replaced the part, using OEM part from dealer, within my vehicle to continue commuting safely.

FORD FUSION 2017 DANGEROUS DEFECT ENGINE ISSUES The Engine Light went on in my Ford 2017 Fusion car with only 64,000 miles and I became very nervous about my Family’s safety driving in my Ford 2017 Fusion car. The Ford Dealership was unable to take my car for two weeks, so I had no choice but to take it to an outside Mechanic to look at my car to see what was wrong because it was dangerous to drive the car and I could not wait two weeks. I missed work because I was unable to drive my car in this dangerous state with the Engine Light on. The outside Mechanic said the 3rd Cylinder misfired and then replaced the 4 spark plugs and coils to see if that helped and charged me $350.00 for his Service. Then a few days later the Engine Light went on again, so that Service did Not fix this dangerous problem & the Mechanic told me to go to Ford to fix this problem. When I looked on the NHTSA Website, there were “157 Complaints” on the same problems that I was experiencing with my Ford 2017 Fusion. These Complaints were expressing that their Ford 2017 Fusions had Faulty Head Gaskets causing coolant to leak into the pistons causing the cylinders to misfire and then their Engines needed to be replaced resulting in a flaw Cylinder Block causing an Engine Block. Many of them did not have their Engine Replaced because there is no Recall on these defective parts & they did not have the money to fix their Ford 2017 Fusion. I also do not have the money to fix my Ford 2017 Fusion with Ford’s defective parts causing dangerous safety Engine damage. These defective parts are high RISK causing Accidents, Fire and even Death which will be the fault of Ford Corporation for not Recalling these defective parts & fixing the damage these defective parts causes. I also found out that there was a Recall on the Ford 2013–2014 Fusions with the same problems. Now there should be a Recall on the 2017! HELP!
