2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE MADE A SCRAPING NOISE. THE NOISE INTENSIFIED EVERY TIME THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE "MOVE TO SAFETY" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG, OR SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND WAS TOLD TO CALL AND SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. THIS WAS MANY MONTHS AGO. CALLED TWO DEALERS IN MY AREA LAST WEEK, AND I'M STILL BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WE ARE WONDERING JUST HOW SAFE THIS VEHICLE IS, AS WE LET OUR SON USE THE CAR. DOES ANYONE REALLY HAVE THE PARTS. I HAVE BEEN IN FOR MANY SERVICES AT THE DEALER, AND THEY JUST SHUFFLE ME OFF. THANK YOU.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT TIMES. THE OTHER DAY IN A TURN THE POWER STEERING LOST POWER, AND WAS VERY HARD TO COME OUT OF A TURN, WHEN NOT BEING READY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE CALLED TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND THEY BOYH SAY THAT THERE ARE NO POWER STEERING. ISSUES. I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE. MY CAR MAY NOT BE WITHIN THE AFFECTED VIN # GROUP, BUT THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. ESPECIALLY WITH A KID DRIVING THE CAR.

DOOR LATCHES WERE RECALLED AND REPLACED MARCH 2016, DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH THEN FAILED BEGINNING OF APRIL 2017 (ONE YEAR AND ONE WEEK AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED). IT APPEARS FORD'S FIX TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS NOT A GOOD ONE. BECAUSE IT WAS MORE THAN ONE YEAR PAST THE REPLACEMENT, I WAS MADE TO PAY FOR THIS.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. I HAVE TO PULL ON THE DOOR AND IT TAKE ME ABOUT 5 MINUTE FOR THE DOOR TO LOCK. I'M HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO GET IN MY CAR. THE DOOR HAS OPEN SLIGHTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL OF 2015 BUT THE PART TO FIX IS GOING ON 3 WEEKS IN BACK ORDER.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS, YET THERE IS STILL NO FIX IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A SAFETY-COMPROMISED VEHICLE EVERY DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MY OPTIONS, AS COMPANIES ARE SUPPOSED TO FIX RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT HAS BEEN HALF A YEAR THAT I HAVE HAD TO FEEL UNSAFE.
