2016 FORD FUSION Complaints

The power steering assist on my car completely shut off while I was on the highway. I almost got into multiple head-on collisions trying to get the car back home, and I have not been able to drive it since. The part that is faulty is very common in 2016 Ford Fusions, under the recall number #19S26. However, for some reason Ford is saying the recall is not available anymore to me, because it passed prior inspection two years ago when I bought the car. There were warnings as the steering shut off to stop the car, letting me know that I had power steering loss. I know from personal research that Ford should offer a recall for this, especially since they "inspected" it before letting me purchase the car, just 24 months ago. I spent $14000 on a relatively new car, and now they are charging $4500 to fix this part that was originally recalled. They either repaired it wrong, or there should be a recall administered for the repair. Thank you for your help

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the dad was driving with the cruise control set at 65 MHP. While approaching a slower vehicle ahead the driver pressed both the brake pedal and the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel but the cruise control did not deactivate. As the driver switched to the left lane to avoid a collision the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle and a third vehicle was also crashed into. Which vehicle crashed into the third vehicle was undetermined. During the crash, no injuries were reported from either of the three vehicles involved in the crash. A police report was taken and the scene and the vehicle was towed to a nearby wrecking yard. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 85,000.

The drivers seatbelt is stuck and will not release to allow me to buckle myself in.

After parking the car, I opened the front passenger door from the outside and then attempted to close it but the door would not latch. The latch was not engaging to keep it should. I can hear the lock working when pressed with the key remote and on the door, but did not change the catching of the door. This is a safety issue because the door is currently tied shut with rope as I am working on getting it fixed. I am concerned that the door could open while driving and windows must be rolled down to tie it, so it is not secured when left parked. A Ford dealer mechanic did look at the door and confirmed the issue as it has still not been fixed. There were no warning signs or issues leading up to the door latch giving way. However there is a current recall on door latches of 2016 Ford Fusions sold in Arizona (where the car was bought and still located) with the exact same issue. However, after speaking with the Ford service department they stated that my VIN number was not included in the recall, even though it was the exact same issue.

First of all i drive a 2016 Ford Fusion. Two years ago as i was leaving work my back driver's side door swung open and i thought i forgot to shut it. As i went to attempt to shut it it wouldnt close. My boyfriend had to meet me at work and tie it closed with rope that he had. I contacted Ford and they said they would fix it and charged me almost $500. Now just last week as i get into my passenger side of my car, my boyfriend was driving, as i went to shut the door the SAME THING happened! It would not close! What if that door lock had broken as we were driving?? I could of fallen out of the car if i didnt have my seatbelt on?? So i do some research online and go back to Ford in Delray Beach Florida. I see that there has been recalls with this EXACT problem on certain makes and models of Fords! I tell them.that and show the manager and he tells me that MY car vin is not under the recalls! So i tell him than there must be a mistake and my car is supposed to be under that recall and why did I have to pay almost $500 to fix the first door lock that broke?? He looked at me and acted as if he could care less! That is why i am writing you.
