2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY LOOSE. I WAS FEARFUL IT WAS GOING TO COME OFF IN MY HANDS. I TOOK IT FORD AND THEY FIXED IT. THE CHARGED ME. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR FUSION AND NOT ISOLATED TO ME AS I WAS TOLD BY FORD.I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOT IN A FORMAT THIS SITE ACCEPTS.

THE BLIS SYSTEM ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED A FEW TIMES NOW AND IT IS STILL HAVING ISSUES. EITHER ONE SIDE OF THE BLIS WILL STAY LIT FOR A MILE OR MORE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NOTHING THERE OR IT WILL FAIL TO ACTIVATE IF A CAR IS LOCATED IN THE BLINDSPOT. OCCASIONALLY, I WILL BE SITTING PERFECTLY STILL AND ONE SIDE OF THE BLIS SYSTEM WILL JUST LIGHT UP FOR NO REASON OR A PROXIMITY SENSOR WILL TRIGGER. THE SYSTEM ON THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND NOT ACTUALLY PROMOTING ANY ADDITIONAL SAFETY. IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE.

EXHAUST IS COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. FORD HAS HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP IN THE PAST FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT THE PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRESH AIR BLEND DOOR. THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR HAS OFFERED TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD FUSION HYBRID TODAY ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING, THEN A NOTICED POPPED ON MY DASHBOARD STATING TO STOP SAFELY NOW. I PRESSED THE GAS PETTLE AND THE EV MODE KICKED ON, PROPELLING MY VEHICLE SPEED TO OVER 85 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS BECAUSE THE FORDS ELECTRIC VEHICLE ENGINES ARE LIMITED TO 85 MPH IN PURE EV MODE. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. ALL SEEMED TO BE OK, AS SOON AS I PUSHED THE GAS PETTLE TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY THE INFORMATION DASHBOARD WAS ALARMING ME TO STOP SAFELY NOW. I DID NOT HAVE ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON. I THEN REVVED THE ENGINE TO SEE IF I WOULD EXPERIENCE ANYTHING, THE ENGINE FINALLY CAME ON, THEN REVVED AND I FELT THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN PARK IF MY FOOT WOULD HAVE BEEN OFF OF THE BREAK PETTLE MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE MOVED FORWARD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AS SOON AS I FELT THIS THE ENGINE WAS CONSTANTLY REVVING UNTIL I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF SWITCH. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING AT 76 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND COMPLETE FAILURE OCCURRED.

I WENT OUT TO START MY VEHICLE AND GOT WARNING LIGHTS, STEERING ASSIST NEEDS ATTENTION, HILL START ASSIST NEEDS ATTENTION. SERVICE VEHICLE. I HAD NO POWER STEERING AT THIS POINT AND HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AT 37K MILES. THE STEERING GEAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN THE FORD FUSION MODELS WHICH HAD A RECALL, BUT NO RECALL ON THE HYBRIDS! I'M THANKFUL IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY.

RECALL 16S42. STILL WAITING ON A REMEDY FOR MY FORD FUSION HYBRID 2014. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE TAKING THIS LONG.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THE REGENERATIVE BRAKES SUDDENLY LET UP AND THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY. I APPLIED FULL FORCE TO THE BRAKES AND THE CAR DID SLOW BUT NOT BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE COLLISION WARNING DID NOT COME ON BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY BREAKING.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 1.5 YRS AND THE MPG IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. I USED TO GET 43 WHEN I GOT THE CAR AND IT HAS STEADILY DECLINED TO 34 MPG. I PAID A PREMIUM FOR A HYBRID THAT GETS THE MILLAGE OF A REGULAR FUSION. I HAVE ASKED 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO LOOK AT IT WHEN MY CAR IS IN THERE FOR OTHER ISSUES. BOTH RESPONSES HAVE BEEN THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO UNLESS A SYSTEM LIGHT ON. SO I ALSO CONTACTED FORD FROM MY OWNER.COM AND THEY GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE. THE LONGER I HAVE IT THE WORSE MILLAGE I GET. I ACTUALLY LOVE THE CAR BUT, I BOUGHT THIS CAR STRICTLY BECAUSE OF THE GAS MILLAGE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GET 42-47. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A OVER PRICED CAR THAT IF I SOLD IT I WOULD LOSE THOUSANDS ON. I WORK FULL-TIME AND GO TO SCHOOL PART-TIME. I DON'T HAVE MONEY JUST THROW AWAY. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT FORD WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS.
