2015 FORD FUSION Complaints

My Ford fusion has a coolant leak and ford said I need a repair. Price for repair is $9,584.89. It is a known problem with a TSB (see below) Summary This article supersedes TSB 19-2139 to update the production fix date. Issue: Some 2014-2019 Fusion vehicles built on or before 10-Jun-2019 and 2017-2019 Escape vehicles built on or before 08-Apr-2019 equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine may exhibit low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator light (MIL) with only diagnostic trouble codes (DICs) P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To resolve the condition, replace the short block and head gasket.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering and the steering wheel seized. The "Power Steering Service” message was displayed. The contact stated that she was able to drive the vehicle back to the residence. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

Car have trouble accelerating and shifting into gear. It started randomly sometimes it will shift extremely hard and then won’t accelerate after 45 minutes.

1. Front passenger brake hose split. 2. While driving the brake hose made an audible pop sound and fluid was released. Had I been driving at a high rate of speed (on an interstate) I could have created a multi-vehicle crash, potentially killing other drivers and, or myself. 3. I have a photo of the split hose. 4. I’ve inspected the issue myself and have photo evidence. It was not difficult to find the malfunctioned part. 5. No warning lamps or notices of failure. I’ve owned several cars, some much older than this current ford fusion and never had this issue with the brake hose. This could have been disastrous. I learned today that NHTSA opened a query into this potential issue in August 2022 and am recommending this be continued or reopened for investigation. This is not something to mess with, brake failure can be lethal.

After starting the car and turning on the seat heater Smoke started coming up from under the passenger seat smelling like it was burning.

Engine has a misfire on cylinder #2. Documented at dealership and has same issue as Id number 10213732 or 21N12 under Ford Customer Service. Build date for our vehicle is 07/14 which is not covered by this T.S.B., but obviously has the same issue as the bulletin. Car misfires while driving, accelerating and decelerating. I believe the build dates should be expanded to all 1.5 ecoboost with this issue, which is coolant intrusion by a poorly engineered engine block.

The contact called on behalf of her father who owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the check engine light illuminated, and the vehicle was misfiring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that spark plug #3 failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that all the spark plugs, and the coils were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic who stated that the head gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to a third independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the vehicle was receiving the incorrect fuel. The contact was advised to use Chevron fuel. The contact stated that the failure continued. The vehicle was finally taken to a Ford dealer where the failure was diagnosed as a blown head gasket; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall and to contact the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact related the failure to an unknown manufacturer recall for the head gasket however, the year, make, and model was not included in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

While driving on a level flat road at approximately 25 MPH, the front right lower A frame assembly snapped and caused the front suspension to drop and the resulting drop caused the front tire to be ripped from its rim. As a result, I briefly lost control and crashed into a parked vehicle. Had this occurred at a higher speed the result would have been disastrous! The lower A-Frame is a thick cast aluminum structure that is approx 11/2" thick where it cracked apart.

Fuel Rail and vacuums are faulty. Gas remains over 1/2 a tank and vehicle stalls and shuts off while trying to drive. The engine shuts off while in drive . Acceleration is still not allowing for the car to run when starting and after a while the vehicle shuts off while driving.
