2015 FORD FUSION Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING COOLANT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER - JIM BURKE FORD (2001 OAK ST, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93301, (661)328-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,215.

JUST GOT THIS FORD VEHICLE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND HAD NUMEROUS CODES P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0030, C0014, P0047, P0141, AND A FEW OTHERS. I LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES, CHECKED FUSES, PLUGS ETC. THE ONLY THING AT THIS POINT I NOTICED WAS TWO CRACKED SPARK PLUGS, SO I REPLACED ALL OFF THEM. AFTER THAT THE CAR STARTED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. CLOSED THE HOOD TURNED THE CAR TO OFF, THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT DID NOT START. SO I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS AND SEEN THE ANTIFREEZE DISAPPEARED, I HAD PREVIOUSLY FILLED IT. I LOOKED FOR ANY VISIBLE LEAKS, PUDDLES, AND CHECKED FOR WET CARPET AND FOUND NOTHING. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER LARGE JUG OF ANTIFREEZE PUT IT IN AND WATCHED IT ALL DISAPPEAR BEFORE MY EYES. I COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT, BUT I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND STILL CONTINUED TO GET MASSIVE ERROR CODES, WHITE SMOKE, ROUGH SOUND, ETC. THEN SEARCHED MORE AND FOUND IT SOUNDS LIKE BLOWN HEAD GASKET, I CHECKED AND THE OIL HAD A MILKY TINT. THIS I THEN FOUND WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, SO I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM FORD ON MARCH 20, 2021 AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHECK IF MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAD THE PARTS TO GET MY CAR IN OR IF THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET A CALL BACK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING, I DID USE LEAK FIX IT SEEMED TO STOP THE LEAK AND CLEAR THE CODES BUT MY DASH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING SO I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. THE RECALL NUMBER I FOUND WAS NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10174400, MY CAR IS A 2015 FORD FUSION ECOBOOST 1.5L, VIN NUMBER# [XXX], AND MY LOCAL FORD IS IN HEATH, OHIO 43056 AT MATHEWS FORD. I AM GETTING THE IMPRESSION THIS IS GOING TO BE AT MY COST AFTER CONTACTING FORD AGAIN, NOW TELLING ME THAT IT WILL NEED DIAGNOSED AT FORD, AND MAY BE AT MY COST. WHY DOESN'T THE RECALL LIST UNDER MY VIN? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WARRANTY WITH THE VEHICLE WAS FOR 60,000 MILES, AT 62,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE CYLINDER BLOCK AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FORD DENIED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR.

FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF BRAKES (THURS, MAR 18, 2021). SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED - FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 15-18 MONTHS AGO - ALSO REPORTED. BOTH TIMES VEHICLE TAKEN TO MAC HAIK FORD DEALERSHIP IN HOUSTON, TX FOR SERVICE. (BOTH TIMES FAILED WHILE IN FAST FOOD WAITING LINE).

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, HONING COMING FROM REAR DRIVER SIDE, AFTER FILLING WITH GAS THE ENGINE FIRES UP PROPERLY BUT THEN SPUTTERS OUT, CODES ARE READING EVAPORATOR PURGE SYSTEM FAILURE

2015 FORD FUSION WITH 85,000 MILES HAD STEERING GEAR FAIL. VEHICLE ALREADY HAD RECALL FOR CORROSION ON STEERING BOX BOLTS. STEERING GEARS ARE BUILT FOR 10/12/15 YEARS AND THIS FAILED IN UNDER 6 YEARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN AND THE VEHICLE DRIVES AS IF IT DOESN'T HAVE POWER STEERING. THE TSC OFF AND TSC INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE LIT UP ON THE DASH.

WHEN STEERING THE CAR IN A TURN, SUCH AS ON AND OFF RAMPS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK IN THE DIRECTION OF STEERING AND THE (TCS) TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A RECALLED STEERING BOLT REPLACED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THREE FORD DEALERSHIPS, AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP RECENTLY ON 2-26-2121 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING BALL JOINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $610.00 WHICH I FOUND ABSURD.

WELL TO START OF I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION THAT I BOUGHT IN 2014 AS A 2015 MODEL YEAR PRETTY MUCH IT'S BEEN A GOOD CAR SO FAR. IT HAS BEEN IN A COUPLE OF RECALLS SO FAR NOT SO BIG, BUT AT SAME TIME THEY HAVE TO BE TAKING CARE OF BY MY DEALER WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT IS LOOSING COOLANT FROM THE RESERVOIR WHEN IS ON PARK OVERNIGHT. I ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT COOLANT EVERY MORNING TO GET IT GOING OTHERWISE A WARNING LIGHT COMES OFF TO WARN ME ABOUT THE COOLANT BEING LOW. IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK NOW AND IS KINDA TIRING GOING TO THE SAME STEP EVERY MORNING. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND AFTER SEARCHING FOR AWHILE IT CAME UP THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I READ AN ARTICLE STATING THAT SOME ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE AND SOME OF EM EXPERIENCING DIFFERENT KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ECOBOOST ENGINES. HONESTLY I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING. I'M WONDERING IF FORD IS GOING TO RECALL ALL THE ECOBOOST ENGINES THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. MINE IS ALREADY GOING THROUGH THE SAME SYMPTOMS LIKE THE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. HOPEFULLY THE NHSTA STEPS UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT US BUYERS WITH A PROBLEMATIC VEHICLE THAT PEOPLE ARE HOPING TO KEEP IT FOR A LONGTIME TIME LIKE MY SELF. PRETTY MUCH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. HONESTLY I DON'T WANT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET IF MY VEHICLE STARTS TO MESSING UP AND TO BE HONEST I'M BEARLY SURVIVING OUT HERE AND WITH THIS PANDEMIC GOING ON IT'S VERY HARD TO COME UP WITH MONEY TO PAY YOUR BILLS AND NOW WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IT'LL BE HARDER IF IT MESSES UP ON ME. IT'LL BE HARD TO COME UP WITH $7 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE IN WHICH YOU RELY ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS THROUGH OUT THIS WEBSITE.

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD SCREEN

POWER STEERING MAKES LOUD THUNKING SOUNDS WHENEVER I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR STOPPED. IT'S COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK MECHANISM ITSELF.
