2014 FORD FUSION Complaints

IN SEPTEMBER 2019, DURING COMMUTE DRIVING THE BACK DOOR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SUDDENLY OPENED AND DID NOT CLOSE AGAIN. AT THE CAR SHOP, I WAS ADVISED THAT A MANUFACTURING ERROR IN THE LATCH DOOR WAS THE CAUSE. I FIXED IT AND I DO WANT A REFUND OF THE EXPENSES INCURRED. *TR

FAILURE TO LATCH DOORS. IN AUGUST 2019 DRIVERS DOOR OPENS DURING DRIVING AND DID NOT CLOSE. SINCE A YEAR BEFORE THIS HAPPENS IN PASSENGERS DOOR AND DUE TO THE DIFFICULTIES OF GETTING MY MONEY BACK FROM VIVA FORD, I DECIDE TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, IN MAY,2020 THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED IN BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I FIXED IT BUT I WANT A REFUND OF THE EXPENSES I HAD INCURRED. *TR

THE FRONT PASSENGER CAR DOOR WILL NOT LOCK IN PLACE THE LATCH SEEMS TO BE BROKE AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO IT OUT OF THE NORM SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHY BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I CAN'T DRIVE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING AS I BLOW THROUGH THE WIND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE I WAS AT A 7 ELEVEN PARKED WHEN MY FRIEND CAME BACK TO THE CAR IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. *TR

THE STEERING GEAR BOLTS AND INNER STEERING GEARBOX ON MY 2014 FORD FUSION ARE VISIBLY CORRODED. THE CORROSION ON THE STEERING YOUR BOLTS CAUSE THE BOLTS TO SNAP AND HEALTH IN CAUSED THE STEERING GEARBOX TWO SEPARATE. THERE SHOULD BE NO CORROSION ON THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING GEARBOX SINCE THE STEERING GEARBOX IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEALED IN IT. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON MAY 20, 2020 TO ASK THEM TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THE STEERING GEARBOX THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE WHO I WAS SPEAKING WITH TOLD ME MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR THE RECALL IN OCTOBER 2018 HOWEVER MY CAR STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOLTS TO ASK THEM TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THE STEERING GEAR BOLT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE WHO I WAS SPEAKING WITH TOLD ME MY CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR THE RECALL IN OCTOBER 2018 HOWEVER MY CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM TORQUE BIT HEAD BOLTS WHEN THE BOLTS SNAPPED IN MARCH 2020, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE REPLACE THE BOLTS WITH HEX HEAD BOLTS. I TOOK A LOT OF PICTURES AND I HAVE VIDEOS STORED ON MY MOBILE PHONE SHOWING THE DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLES STEERING GEARBOX AND THE STEERING GEAR BOLTS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAID THAT ALL THEY CAN DO IS NOTE THAT THE BOLTS HAVE SNAPPED BUT WOULD NOT TAKE FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MATTER OF ISSUING RECALL OR REPAIRING THE CURRENT BROKEN PARTS IN MY STEERING GEAR MOTOR BOX UNIT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES OR ADD MY CAR TO THE RECALL LIST SO THAT THE NECESSARY REPAIRS CAN BE DONE WITHOUT COSTING MYSELF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE CLEARLY A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

MY 2014 FORD FUSION HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE AC/HEATER JUST COME ON FULL BLAST SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL.. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I'M TRYING TO DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER. IT WONT EVEN DEFROST MY WINDOWS CORRECTLY.. MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND HAS DONE SO FOR 5 YEARS. FORD DEALERS HAVE NOT HELPED IN ANYWAY EVEN THOUGHT I HAVE A RECALL LETTER STATING THE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER CABLE. IT SAID THAT MY CAR ISN'T GOING ALL THE WAY INTO GEAR/PARK AND IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR TRANSMISSION IN THE FUTURE AND IT HAS. I NEED HELP, PLEASE! THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE COMPLETELY OFF AND FIDD HAD IT TOWED TO FIX IT. THEY FIXED IT IN LESS THEN 30MINS BUT DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT MY TRANSMISSION AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT MY CAR IS DRIVING HORRIBLE. IT HAS NO POWER HARDLY WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL BAD WRECKS BECAUSE OF IT. I CAN'T DRIVE OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR SO MY CAR KNOCKING REALLY HARD. ALSO MY HEADLINER ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR IS FALLING DOWN. FORD SAID THEY WERE MEASURED WRONG WHEN THEY BUILT THESE FORD FUSIONS BUT HAVE YET TO DO A RECALL ON THEM. IT HAS FALLEN DOWN ON MY LITTLE GIRLS HEAD AND MY OWN HEAD WHILE DRIVING AT A DANGEROUS SPEED. *TR

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION LEAVING A WALMART, THE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AND NOW WONT CLOSE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH IN THE 13-14 FORD FUSIONS AND OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED BUT NOT FOR MY VIN? HOW IS IT THAT I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT IS SIMILAR TO ONE ALREADY COVERED BY A RECALL, BUT NOT MY CAR? *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE -TRANSFER SHAFT FAILURE CAUSED DESTRUCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION TSB-18-2328. *TR

PARKED VEHICLE. OPENED REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO REMOVE ITEMS. CLOSE DOOR, AND WOULD NOT LATCH. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE AND LATCH. STILL WOULD NOT SECURE CLOSED. HAD A INDEPENDENT GARAGE REPAIR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES UP AND DOWN SIDE TO SIDE. HARD TO STEER WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE ITS LOOSE. TURING A CURVE OR DRIVING STRAIGHT WILL MAKE YOU NERVOUS. WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING LOOSE YOU HAVE TO HOLD A CERTAIN WAY SO IT WANT GO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
