2014 FORD FUSION Complaints

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN PROCEEDING TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T GO IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND AFTER RESEARCHING FOUND OUT THAT FORD AND NISSAN HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAVE CLASS ACTION SUITS. I AM A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT AND JUST WANT IT REPAIRED, NEED HELP!

IN AUGUST OF 2020 I GOT IN CONTACT WITH FORD ABOUT MY RECALLS I TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS I TOLD THEM MY DRIVER SEAT BELT WILL NOT LOCK I MENTIONED NO POWER VERY SLUGGISH AND GEAR DIDNT KICK IN PROPER. ON APRIL 11 2021 WHILE ON FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF GO BACK ON AND SHIFT INTO GEAR ON ITS OWN I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND AS I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF I THREW IN NEUTRAL PRESS THE GAS AND CAR STARTED UP AND JERKED WHILE CAR PICKED UP SPEED THEN SLOWED ON ITS OWN I NOW PUT IN REVERSE IT GOES FORWARD SEAT BELT STILL DONT WORK I WORK AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME AND SCARED TO GET IN CAR. 2014 FORD FUSION.

2014 FORD FUSION. ONE OWNER. 96,000 MILES. WHILE STATIONARY VEHICLE JERKS HARD WHEN SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER. TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDS REPLACING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AT FORD DEALERSHIPS.

CAR STALS WITHOUT WARNING HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.CAR DEALER SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM.BUT STILL STAYS OUT.WHILE DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY JUST STOPPED NO POWER AT ALL.NEXT TO TIMES WAITING TO TURNINGS TRAFFIC.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE MISFIRES AND STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER COLD START TRIGGERING ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC CODE. FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED INSPECTED (4/23/2019) BUT DID NOT FIND CAUSE OF MISFIRES AND STALLS. I REPLACED THE OEM LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR (11/8/2019) AS SUGGESTED BY OTHERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES FOR LIKE MODEL VEHICLES. THE ENGINE HAS CONTINUED TO MISFIRE AND STALL AFTER REPLACING LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR. DURING A RECENT INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY A LOCAL SERVICE CENTER (3/17/2021), THE TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT WAS ABNORMALLY LOW. THE ENGINE MISFIRES AND LOW COOLANT SUGGEST A POSSIBLE COOLANT INTRUSION INTO ENGINE CYLINDERS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER LIKE MODEL FORD VEHICLES WITH ECOBOOST ENGINES (SEE TSB 20-2100). IN MY OPINION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS THE MISFIRES AND STALLS ARE MORE LIKELY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. E.G. TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET AND MERGING WITH TRAFFIC. FORD SHOULD REPLACE HEAD GASKET FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES AND SMALL BLOCK FOR CUSTOMERS WHO EXPERIENCE COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE.

OUR POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED. CONSUMER REPORTS SAYS THERE IS A RECALL FOR FORD FUSIONS THE SAME YEAR UNDER RECALL NUMBER 19S26. MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL HOWEVER IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THIS ISSUE IS TAKING PLACE IN COLD-WEATHER STATES DUE TO CORROSION VIA SALT WE LIVE IN NH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V632000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT'S FATHER STARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I WAS MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE TO TAKE A 30FT ROUNDABOUT AT 20-25 MPH AND MID CIRCLE THE CARS POWER STEERING CUT OFF, PULLING CAR TO THE OUTSIDE MEDIAN. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROLS AND SOMETHING TO DO WITH HILL PARKING.

LOST MY POWER STEERING, WHILE I WAS PARKED AT MCDONALDS, HILL ASSIST LIGHT AND ADVANCE TRAC LIGHTS ARE ON. I CAN NOT DRIVE IT WITH NO POWER STEERING.THE CAR WAS IN PART, WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON AND NO POWER STEERING PUT IT BACK IN PART, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, I TRIED THID THREE OR FOUR TIMES, FINALLY I HAD POWER STEERING AGIAN, DROVE 16 MILES TO HOME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SO DOWN IT JUST SITS THERE, I'M NOT GOING TO DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT;S FIXED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT IF IT'S GOING TO COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME THING GO WRONG.
