2015 FORD FUSION Complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while at a stop, the vehicle would independently shift into neutral without warning. The contact had to restart the vehicle to resume normal driving functionality. The contact had linked the failure to a defective powertrain control module (PCM). The contact had notified a dealer of the failure and was informed that there would be a three-week wait for an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

multiple warning lights come off and on while driving. When they come on steering becomes difficult. no one can determine the cause. there have bene multiple reports by others with this same make/model of happening to them and no mechanics nor dealership have been able to identify the cause

On 7/30/2021 I filled up my gas tank at a local Sunoco. After doing so my engine would start and quickly stall. Thinking I may have gotten "bad gas", after several attemts of re-starting my car and while in neutral I reved up the car a few times between 3-4 thousand RPM's to posiibly "blow out" and any water or sediment which at the time I believed was do to the gas, and it ran fine for days and did not stall. I continued to drive the car to work and errunds with no issue, except for about 3 days after gas fill-up when my engine light came on. Although the car ran fine, on Tuesday August 2 2021, I went to local Auto Zone and they ran the diagnostic that indicated a P1450 error which said on the report "Replace Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Purge Control Valve". The following morning August 3rd, I called my Ford Mullinax dealership when they opened at 7:30, and the closest appointment was not until Monday August 16th ! (a quailfied local mechanic said he could not do the work and would actually have to send the car to Ford himself.) On the following day August 4th, I drove the car to work (a 76 mile round trip primarily on the interstate). The car ran fine on the way there and up to a point on the way back, until the engine made a intermittent very loud noise and did so after several times after, until the engine completely and unexpectedly shut down and narrowly missing a very dangerous rear end collision. I called AAA to tow my car, and when the driver arrived 25 minutes or so, the car was in a position which made it difficult to place on his flatbed tow truck that he arrived with. He asked if I could start it up, and I said I doubt it would but I was willing to try. Much to my suprise it fired righ up! I assume that it had time to cool down and that this was only temporary. Definetly NOT SAFE to assume everything was now ok ! From that 8/4/2021 day until today as I document this incident on 8/9/2021, I have been fortunate enough to borrow a friend's 2nd vehicle

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle in a reasonable time. The contact's wife continued driving and noticed that the brake pedal went to the floorboard when depressed. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that brake fluid was spraying onto the ground while his wife was depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed that the front driver’s side brake line had ruptured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer awaiting the brake line to arrive. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.

Safety Recall # 18S20 Shift Cable Bushing was completed by dealer 03/05/2020 during a visit for new tires. There were no symptoms of gear issue at that time. On 7/30/2021 the Shift Cable Bushing (installed per recall) FAILED (less than 15 mths later). After parking car in a parking garage, put the car in "P" Park, the car was turned off, key removed, exited vehicle. The car rolled forward striking the parking garage wall in front of parking spot. Even though the dash & shift indicated the car was in PARK - it was not. No warning on dash. Called AAA that discovered the Shift Cable Bushing was missing causing the Shift Cable to be dislodged. Recall #18S20 was supposed to correct this issue. It did not. The front of my vehicle damaged. Ford redid the recall following day but the car needs auto body work. No response from Ford Corporate, which is in Manila Philippines.

The throttle body failed. Car went into limp mode. I used a code reader to investigate. Code was P211, throttle. Bought a throttle body at Ford dealer, $100.84 total parts with tax and throttle body and gasket. Replaced part and it runs fine so far. I was lucky to have been close to home when it happened. I did not find any recalls for this make model and year but throttle bodies commonly fail on Fords. It happened on July 31, 2021. Car had about 89,500 miles. Bought the car new from Bill Utter Ford in Denton, Texas in 2015.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the driver’s side front tire lost air and became flat, but the independent mechanic was unable to remove the wheel from the vehicle due to the lug nuts being swollen. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who replaced the lug nuts. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 48,000.

We bought this car at the end of May 2020. When we bought it it had 48,000 miles on it. We have had this vehicle for 14 month and have religiously kept up on maintenance. Started having issues beginning of July 2021. Today, 7/22/2021 we received notice that the car needs a new engine due coolant leaking into the cylinders. We have only put 17,000 miles on this car. There is absolutely no reason for it to need a new engine.

I have received a message on my dashboard regarding 1. Engine Coolant Over Temperature 2. Power Reduced to Lower Engine Temperature. I have taken the car to a repair shop Thursday and Friday. I believe car is a lemon. Have had the vehicle for only 17 days. I can’t keep calling off work due to non operational vehicle. I would like to get this issue resolved or otherwise I would not be able to pay my car note

Brake Failure/ Right side passenger side brake hose failed. Heard a loud pop while having my foot on the brake. Went to start driving again and when I pressed my foot on the brake I couldn't stop. I had lost all braking. Brake fluid poured out and had to use the Emergency brake when getting towed to stop.
