2013 FORD FUSION Complaints

BATTERY DRAIN EVERYDAY RESULTING IN A NEED TO JUMP START EVERY TIME WE NEED TO USE THE CAR. WE HAD THE APIM REPLACED IN JULY 2020 AFTER FORD DIAGNOSED THIS AS THE PROBLEM. NOW AFTER FOUR MONTHS AND $1500.00 WE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND FORD IS SAYING THE BACKUP CAMERA IS THE CAUSE FOR THE POWER DRAIN, AND THEY ARE TELLING US IT WILL BE ANOTHER $1300.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS DEALER AUTONATION FORD VALENCIA, CA. HAS HAD THE CAR THERE FOR 5 WEEKS NOW AND BACK IN JULY 2020 THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 4 WEEKS!!!!! WE BELIEVE THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE BATTERY DRAIN AND NOW WANT TO CHARGE US AGAIN TO FIX THE MISTAKE.

THE POWER STEERING RACK HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED. WENT FROM WORKING JUST FINE TO COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I GOT RAN OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A ICE PATCH AND SPUN OUT I TO THE MOUNTAIN HEAD ON AND THE BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED

WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION OR STOP SIGN CAR HITS ABOUT 20 25 RPM'S ACCELERATION STOPS HAVE TO EASE BACK ON THE GAS SLOWLY AND NEVER SHIFTS IN TO NEXT GEAR. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME SLOWLY ABOUT 20 MPH. HAPPENS AFTER EVER STOP AND GO
