2015 FORD FUSION Complaints

When car shifts gear and car itself will jerk before settling. I had this issue prior to my 60K mile transmission warranty expired and the Ford dealership in Arlington, VA fixed it and stated that a piece in the transmission was broken and cause the transmission to not shift properly. They replaced it and a few years later I am having the same issue. I’ve also had issue where driving the entire electric system would shut off and then reset mid drive but that has only happened twice and that was back in 2018.

The right rear passenger seat belt to my 2015 Ford Fusion stopped functioning several months ago. The strap that goes over the passenger's shoulder is stuck for reasons I am able to determine.

Engine makes a whining sound when motor engages. 2 auto shops, including Ford dealership says it's a bad transmission. When I went online to see if others have had this problem, issue was confirmed that this is a common problem with this Hybrid. We bought this car brand new, have maintained it per manual at dealership. This should not happen with a car with only 112,000 miles. Lemon law?

The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 72,487.

My trunk keeps popping open randomly at least 6-10 times a day. It happens at night, during the day, when I’m out running errands. It might not happen for a day, but then happen for the next few days in a row. There is no rhyme or reason as to why or when it will happen. I have googled this problem on line abs see that it is a major problem with this make model and year. My trunk keeps getting wet because it does not stay in a garage and the rain just pours in at night if it opens during the night, which it has several times now. I took it to the Ford dealership today to have them fix a different recall issue and fix my trunk. The trunk did not pop open for them when it was there abs therefore they said they couldn’t fix it. I am very disappointed with this answer. I need my trunk fixed now with all the rain and eventual snow of winter and Ford has no answers for me, and hasn’t helped fix the issue with anyone else that I see with this same issue on line. This is definitely a defective issue that Ford needs to fix asap!! This is not acceptable and is a major driving hazard as it happens when driving as well. I wish I could afford to get a different vehicle but I can’t. This issue first started this June 2023. I changed my key fob battery as some suggested, but no change. When this has happened if I have been in the car I can hear a definite “clicking” sound in the trunk area. Possibly a faulty wiring system?? I want this fixed as I am moving to another state in a month and I am very scared to have this fly open on the highway and put myself and others at risk….hence why I took it in today to have them fix the recall and also replace the trunk so that it is fixed, but they said it didn’t open for them when it was it was in the shop for a couple hours and therefore there wa smithing wrong with it that they could see. Definitely not acceptable abd I need this fixed asap if this car is to be considered safe to drive for me and for others on the roads.

Headlights do not work. I have replaced the low beams bulbs 3 times since purchasing my car over three years ago and each time the lights only work for a brief period of time them seem to short out unexpectedly, for no reason whatsoever. The high beams have been replaced multiple times as well. I purchased the fluorescent bulbs for better night vision. The lights were bright for a short period them dimmed and are only as bright as they should be if they were on low beam. This is some sort of an electrical issue or something to do with a manufacturer’s defect. Since I purchased my vehicle almost 4 years ago, there has been an ongoing issue with the transmission or alternator. The car “jumps out of gear” when putting the vehicle into park or when shifting the vehicle into drive from park. There is also a constant loud “humming/vibration” sound that clicks on and off continuously once the car is initially crunk up. The passenger door is coming off due to the loosening of bolts I assume but I’m not certain. Nothing has happened to cause this issue. The power outlets in the vehicle get extremely hot at times and cause phone cords to heat up. This has caused my phone to be destroyed! The rear view camera is now blurry with lines going through it. This is only happening when the car is put into reverse and rear view camera is in use. The Bluetooth and media in the vehicle gets stuck on “Sync Line In” & at times will not change to any other setting. This seems to be an electronic issue as well. There have been MANY recalls on my vehicle and I have taken it to the Ford dealership for repair each time however, none of these issue have been resolved . I am a single mother who work’s full time and is a full time student. This is my only form of transportation. I should not have to worry rather or not my car is safe for my children and I.

a component of the power steering system has been damaged/become dislodged and my car no longer has power steering. The fix is very expensive, and there is an open recall for 2015 Ford Fusions, yet somehow mine is not covered.
