2014 FORD FUSION Complaints

WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE'S TRUNK LID OPENS ON ITS OWN. DRIVING CONDITIONS, SPEED, ETC. DO NOT SEEM TO PERTAIN TO THE ISSUE.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR CAME UP WITH NO WARNING AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT THIS BEING ADDRESSED. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE FOR $1900. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION AND SUFFERED NUMEROUS INJURIES BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. (I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT). I JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

THE POWER WINDOWS ALL QUIT WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW STARTED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A RECALL, AT THAT TIME I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE WINDOWS AS WELL AS THE LOCKS. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE CAR WAS THE KEY FOB. NO CODES CAME UP WHEN PUT ON DIALYSIS. THE WINDOWS ALL WORKED AFTER THEY CHECKED, THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE MASTERWINDOW SWITCH. I DECLINED SINCE THE WINDOWS WORKED. SHORTLY AFTER MY CONTROL PANEL QUIT WORKING I CANNOT GET ANY HEAT OR AIR. THIS WIL PERIODICALLY WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN QUIT. RECENTLY THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL COME ON, TIRE PRESSURES ARE PERFECT, AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR THE LIGHT GOES AWAY. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE TIRE LIGHT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. TIRE PRESSURE HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WHEN THE CONSOLE QUIT WORKING THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT SHOW ON THE DASH.

ON FEBRUARY 19, 2021. AFTER BACKING MY 2014 FORD FUSION INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WENT TO SHIFT IT INTO PARK. THE LEVER SHIFTED ALL THE WAY FORWARD AS IF IT WERE IN PARK. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE IT BEGAN TO ROLL. I HIT THE BRAKE AND LOOKED TO SEE IF I WAS INDEED IN PARK. THE SHIFTER WAS ALL THE WAY FORWARD BUT THE DISPLAY SHOWED AS IF THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I TRIED TO START THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT START. I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM PARK. I COULD NOT. AFTER CHECKING YOUTUBE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS I CHECKED ON CURRENT RECALLS. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON ALIKE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/RESEARCH/FORD-FUSION-2014/RECALLS/. RECALL NUMBER 18V471000 COMPONENT POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2013-2016 FORD FUSION VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE BUSHING THAT ATTACHES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME AND CAUSE THE BUSHING TO DETACH FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE DRIVER TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER TO PARK AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, WHILE THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT BE IN PARK. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND FORD.COM AND THEY TOLD ME, THEY WOULD ONLY FIX THE ISSUES IF I PAID THEM BECAUSE MY FUSION WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST.
