2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAID "STOP SAFELY NOW". ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LIGHTS FLASHED AND MY CAR CUT OFF. MY CAR HASN'T RAN YET. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. FORD, WHEN I CALLED THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T UNDER A RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR EVERYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT 35 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY SOFT AND WENT TO FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES HESITATED TO RESPOND AS THE CONTACT REACHED AN INTERSECTION AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED AND THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED THAT THERE WAS BRAKE FAILURE MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

RACK AND PINION ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING (EPAS) FAILURE. MY VEHICLE EPAS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO APPLE FORD IN COLUMBIA MD FOR RESOLUTION AND HAD TO PAY $1900.00 + FOR A PART THAT IN MY OPINION AND BASED OFF PREVIOUS RECALLS IS A FORD MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE ISSUES OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH WITH NO CLEAR INDICATION ON WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE THERE BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I WAS AT MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING MY LUG NUTS OFF. THEY STATED THAT MY LUG NUTS "WERE SWULLEN". I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO BUY NEW ONES AT A COST OF $75-$100. I WAS VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND LEFT. I LOOKED THIS PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT FORD HAD A CHEAPER LUG NUT PRODUCED WITH THE NUT BEING COVERED WITH A CHEAPER MATERIAL USED TO MAKE THE CAP THAT COVERS THE NUT. MOISTURE GETS IN BETWEEN THE TWO METALS CAUSING CONDENSATION AND " SWELLING". I NOW HAVE COVERS ACTUALLY FALLING OFF THE NUT. MY QUESTION IS: WHY, IF THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED, WHY HASN'T THE PROBLEM BEEN RESOLVED/ RECALLED? WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA GOTTEN INVOLVED? WE DO PAY TAXES FOR GOV. AGENCIES TO OVERSEE SAFETY ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. OR BETTER YET, WHY HASN'T FORD STEPPED UP AND TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM? I AM THINKING OF BUYING A CHEVY NOW. THEY DON'T HAVE "SWULLEN" LUG NUTS.

WHEN CAR IS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T BEEP TO LET YOU KNOW A CAR IS COMING. SOMETIMES IT BEEPS WHEN NO CAR OR PERSON IS AROUND.

DRIVER SIDE REAR BLISS SENSOR WILL EITHER INDICATE A VEHICLE IS PRESENT WHEN NOTHING IS THERE OR FAIL TO INDICATE A VEHICLE IS IN THE BLIND SPOT WHEN PRESENT. DUE TO THIS FAILURE, IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO DRIVER NOT SEEING THE CAR AND THE BLISS LIGHT IS NOT ON EVEN THOUGH A CAR IS THERE. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2015 AND I SHOWED DEALER VIDEOS OF PROBLEM AND DEALER SAID NO ERROR CODES SO CANNOT FIX.

FUSION WOULD STALL AS I WOULD BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. NOT ONCE DID THE SENSOR COME ON THE VEHICLE TO ALERT ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. FUEL INJECTOR PRESSURE WAS THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY FOB FRACTURED AND THE KEY BECAME DETACHED FROM THE FOB. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STARTED USING PLIERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FOB WAS NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO USE A SPARE KEY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ UPDATED 04/07/16*LJ *CN

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. WITH DIFFICULTY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. IT WAS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE AT LOWER SPEEDS AFTER I LEFT THE FREEWAY. THE NEXT DAY, I TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. FOR A COUPLE MILES, THEN THE POWER STEERING LOSS RESUMED. I CAREFULLY DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, WHERE IT REMAINS.

I HAVE AN 2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS, I WANT TO BE PRO ACTIVE AND FIND OUT WHAT PART, EXACTLY IS ON BACK ORDER FOR SO MANY YEARS. AS AN ASE CERTIFIED (RE-CERTIFIED) TECHNICION, A.A..S DEGREE AUTO MECHANICS AND A.A.S. DEGREE IN DIAGNOSTICS (1989). NOW, HOW DO I PROTECT MY WIFE WHILE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT? 2013 FORD FUSION. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V597000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS); JUN 16, 2015 PLEASE ADVISE ME, AND SINCE ALL I NEED IS THE PART...GO GET ONE OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. I JUST LOVE MY FUSION HYBRID AND I REFUSE TO GIVE IT UP. I PURCHASED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN ON LINE CUSTOM BUILT TO MY SPECIFICATIONS AND THE THING IS LOADED. I DON'T WANT TO SAY, I DON'T CARE WHO DIES IN MY FUSION, AS LONG ITS NOT ME. SO, YOU DON'T NEED TO ENSURE I WON'T DIE JUST MAKE SURE I CAN PURCHASE THIS PART FROM THE DEALER OR PART STORE. MANY THANKS, BARRIE, GYSGT, U.S.M.C., DALE CITY, VIRGINIA
