2014 FORD FUSION Complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Engine Coolant Overheating" message was displayed, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact who is an independent mechanic, diagnosed the vehicle and determined that there was a misfire in the engine and the coolant level was low. The contact added more coolant; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

Hello, on Saturday May 27th, I took my car in for a regular oil change and thereafter, the rattling noise started the next day, continued rattle had me bring the vehicle back to the dealership on Monday, June 5th. I was informed that my fusion rattling sound was due to the engine flexplate being cracked causing damaging to the transmission oil pump and torque converter. Used chassis ears to pinpoint noise within the transmission bellhousing. Engine flexplat cracked causing out ot round rotation and damage to the transmission. Required transmission and engine flexpalate replacement with alignment due to subframe removal. I looked up online for recalls and found a Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 for 2019-2020 Fusion - Rattle Noise at the Transmission Bellhousing Area - Flexplate Cracks (dated 08-26-22). Here is the link to the online document found: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10218899-0001.pdf. I purchased this vehicle used in 2021. If this issue affects other Ford years, why is it not included in the recall for older Ford Fusion models especially if the issue is the same as that of the 2019-2022 models? Thank you

A NEIGHBOR CAME TO MY DOOR AND TOLD ME MY BREAK LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE THE CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN RECENTLY BEFORE THIS WAS REPORTED TO ME. IT IS 24 HOURS LATER AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM TO TURN OFF. NO WARNING LAMPS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT, THIS CAN CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION TO ME AS THE PERSON FOLLOWING BEHIND CAN NOT TELL THAT I AM COMING TO A STOP. I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2014 FORD FUSIONS BUT IT APPEARS THAT MINE IS NOT LISED ON THE RECALL. SINCE THIS IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND (AND THIS CAME TO MY ATTENTION ON A SATURDAY) I WILL BE CALLING FORD GARAGE IN STOCKTON, CA ON TUESDAY MAY 30, 2023 TO PLACE INQUIRY ABOUT THIS.

I drive a 2014 Ford Fusion and there have been 2 recalls on the Power Steering in these models 15V250000 and 19V632000. A few weeks ago I was driving and had to pull over for a few minutes in front of an elementary school. When I started my car back up to leave I had NO POWER STEERING, actually probably no steering at all as I could not even budge the steering wheel. I had to have my car towed to be repaired. I do not understand why my car is not included in the recalls. I did some research and my car was manufactured at the Hermosillo Mexico factory in the time frame of the recall. So why is my specific car not included? I have also seen many other complaints online when it comes to this issue, so should'nt all the fusions built at that plant at that time be recalled? What if the power steering failed prior to me pulling over? In front of an Elementary school the outcome could have been tragic. I called Ford Motor Company and they were no help at all. I wanted to at least be reimbursed for the part which was $1330.73. What can I do?

Seatbelt failed during collision did not lock fully extended and did not retract brakes did not engage right away

This problem has happened multiple times over the last few years. The windows, air conditioning and radio just stop working. Safety issue - hot day and can't roll windows down or turn the air on! Dealership wouldn't fix it because everything turned back on when we got to dealer, and then again stopped working again later. Very sporadic. Currently not working again.
