2007 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

HAD TO REPLACE AN IGNITION COIL FOR A MISFIRE OBD CODE. AFTER REPLACING COIL PROBLEM STILL EXISTED, SO I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A GREAT NUMBER OF OTHER FUSION OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. NOW I AM SUPPOSED TO REPLACE ALL THE IGNITION COILS AND THE PCM. WITH THE NUMBER OF AFFECTED VEHICLES BEING STAGGERING I FEEL THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AND THE CAR HAS AN ABS BRAKING EVENT DUE TO A SUDDEN STOP OR SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS THE PEDAL WOULD DROP TO THE FLOOR AS IF THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTED PRESSURE WOULD RETURN. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 OCCURRENCES OF THE ISSUE, RESTING THE VEHICLE NO LONGER FIXED THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE WHO DIAGNOSED THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND HAS NOT RETURNED AFTER SUBSEQUENT ABS BRAKING EVENTS.

THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE IS POPPING OUT FROM DASH. I AM WORRIED THE AIR BAG MY NOT WORK PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT OR MY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND SUDDENLY I FELT THE VEHICLE HAVE SOME TYPE OF LOSS OF POWER. I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPM ODOMETER WAS "JUMPING" FROM 1 TO 1.5 AND THE IDLE WAS HORRIBLY ROUGH.THE MOTOR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS A FORCED IDLE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, I CHECKED EVERYTHING TO SEE IF MAYBE THERE WAS ANYTHING LOOSE OR SOMETHING IN THERE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD SEE SPOT ON OR NOTICE SPOT ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE 'SYMPTOMS" AND CLEANING OR FORCING SHUT THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR WAS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT KEPT SHOWING. SO I PULLED EVERYTHING APART AND CLEANED IT AND SPRAYED SOME WD-40. ONCE I OUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER I THEN STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNED OFF AND IT WAS RUNNING LIKE NORMAL. *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE! I WAS THE THIRD VEHICLE IN LINE WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT TO CHANGE. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND WE ALL STARTED MOVING FORWARD. WE MOVE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. ABOUT 200 FEET PAST THE INTERSECTION TWO STRAY DOGS RUN ACROSS THE ROADWAY. THE ROADWAY IS A DIVIDED FOUR LANE WITH PASSING LANES AND IS A 40 MPH ZONE. THE TWO VEHICLES IN FRONT WERE ABLE TO STOP. AS I APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES, I HAD THIS SENSE THAT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM LET GO. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. I REMEMBER PUSHING FOR ALL I WAS WORTH ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT HAVING THE SENSE THAT THE VEHICLE IS JUST NOT STOPPING. THE ACCIDENT WAS WRITTEN UP AS UNAVOIDABLE DUE TO THE TWO DOGS AND NO DRIVER WAS CITED. THAT EVENING AS I HAD TIME TO RELIVE THE ACCIDENT, I RECALLED THE SENSE OF THE BRAKES HAVING FAILED. THE NEXT DAY I WENT INTO THE BODY SHOP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I REMEMBERED AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE BRAKES AS PART OF THE REPAIR ASSESSMENT. THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY GONE EXCEPT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM SHOWED NUMEROUS CODES IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BODY SHOP HAD SOMEONE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY COME AND CHECK ON THE BRAKES AND THEY REPORTED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM HAD GONE OUT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT, AND NOT THE ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO FAIL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM WENT DOWN THAT THE ABS SYSTEM BLEW OUT PRESSURE LINES AND ALSO CAUSED AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT BURNED ELECTRICAL LINES AND BLEW OUT THE FUSES. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING 70 MPH, I MIGHT NOT BE HERE TO TELL ABOUT IT. IS THERE A HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR? EQUIPMENT FAILURE LIKE THIS KILLS PEOPLE. *TR

NO PROBLEMS DRIVING CAR AND FAITHFUL OIL CHANGES WITH FULL SYNTHETIC OIL. WENT TO LEAVE ONE MORNING AND CAR WAS KNOCKING LIKE IT WAS LOW ON OIL. NO ENGINE LIGHT ON AT ALL.

MY CAR HAS A HISTORY OF LOST POWER/STALL DURING NORMAL DRIVING, IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT SO I WANT TO FILE THIS COMPLAIN TO HAVE SOME INVESTIGATION. WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE TO THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC/SPEED, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND NOT RESPONSE TO PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. MY WIFE HAD TO STEER THE CAR BACK TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID ACCIDENT. THIS CAR IS SERVICE BY FORD DEALER UNDER PURCHASED MAINTENANCE PLAN SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. THERE WAS NO MENTION TO SERVICE THE INTAKE/THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS NOT SERVICEABLE. I UNDERSTAND THIS CAR SHARE SAME PLATFORM WITH FORD ESCAPE WHICH HAD A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY LAST YEAR. I WONDER THIS CAR MODE SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STARTING TO OPEN . IT'S RAISED ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES. WHEN I CAME OF WORK AND GOT IN THE CAR I FOUND IT LIKE THAT. THE CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. PLEASE ADVISE. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE? *TR

THIS CAR HAD A HISTORY OF LOST POWER/STALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY AND HIGHWAYS WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS NOR WARNINGS. MY PARTICULAR CONCERN WAS LAST WEEK IT LOST POWER/STALL WHILE DRIVING ON MULTI-LANE EB I-96 FROM DETROIT TO GRAND RAPIDS, MI, WHICH WE HAD TO PERFORM EMERGENCY EVASIVE ACTIONS TO GET OUT OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO AVOID COLLISION/ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT WITH PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAD NO SYMPTOMS NOR WARNING. THE CAR SIMPLE LOST POWER REDUCE TO IDLE SPEED AT AROUND 600 RPM. IT FAILED TO RESPONSE TO CRUISE CONTROL, GAS PEDAL CONTROL. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY OR THE MASS AIRFLOW SWITCH. BOTH OF THEM ARE NOT SERVICEABLE PARTS AND NOT RELATE TO MAINTENANCE, WEAR OR TEAR. THIS CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED BY FORD DEALER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. NO ADVICE OR ANYTHING WAS GIVEN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHICH HAS DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON SAFETY THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED SOME BULGING THRU THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE DASH. SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED MY 12 YR AND SECURED HIM IN THE BACK SEAT WITH LAP/SHOULDER BELT. I CONTACTED FORD TODAY AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AT A COST OF $1000/1200 DOLLARS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD REPLACE IT. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT AIRBAG DOING A FAULTY FIRING WITH NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED AND STRIKING MY CHILD. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THEN STARTED STOPPING VERY SLOWLY. TOOK IT THE THE MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DROVE IT HOME AND IT DID IT ONE TIME AGAIN. CONTINUED DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 300 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS TIME THE BRAKE FAILED AT 4 STOPS IN A ROW. THEN IT ENGAGED AGAIN AND WAS FINE THE REST OF THE 20 MILES HOME. THE DEALER MECHANIC SAID IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS BUT IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS INTERMITANTLY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FUSION OWNERS FORUMS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM . ONE PERSON SAID IT COST $2000 TO FIX. FORD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN AND SET UP A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR HYBRIDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE OTHER PERSON HADN'T SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. *TR

AIR BAG IS BULGING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD. I HEARD LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS & THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE AIRBAGS! *TR

THE OPEN HANDLE FROM IN CAR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BROKE INSIDE DOOR PANEL. UNABLE TO GET OUT FROM INSIDE CAR. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR I WOULD BE UNABLE TO ESCAPE FROM VEHICLE.

THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD WITH GRAVE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

BRAKES ARE VERY SOFT AFTER GOING OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD AND TRIED TO BRAKE TO CONTROL VEHICLE. BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO CONTROL. SINCE THEN, BRAKES WILL FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE PRESSURE BUT WHEN I HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD 2 MASTER CYLINDERS REPLACED AND THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

CAR JOLTED WHILE CRUISING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THEN WENT IN TO LIKE A FIRST GEAR AND HIGH RPM. ALL THE DASHBOARD GAUGES, LIGHTS AND RADIO WENT OFF. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND FUNCTIONED. PUT BACK IN DRIVE AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH GEAR, SPEED, GAUGES, ETC. RETURNED. BACK IN NEUTRAL SO I COULD USE MY FLASHERS AND AFTER COASTING FOR A LITTLE BIT THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON.

I WAS QUOTED A PRICE RANGE OF $3-400 TO GET IT FIXED. *JS

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT IS EXPOSED. NOW MY AIRBAG LIKE WILL NOT TURN OFF. *TR

DASHBOARD VINYL AND PADDING IS BULGING AWAY FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT, OR MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE THE PASSENGER. SOMETIMES AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON. ALTHOUGH THE DASHBOARD LOOKS UNSIGHTLY, THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! *TR

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ABOVE THE GLOVEBOX HAS EXPOSED ITSELF AND THE ACTUAL PART OF THE SURROUNDING DASHBOARD HAS LIFTED UPWARDS ON IT'S OWN, DUE TO HEAR IN MY OPINION, IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND NOW MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON (WHICH MEANS IT'S SHUT OFF ON IT'S OWN) AND I'M SCARED IT WILL GO OFF AT ANY TIME DUE TO THE EXPOSURE OF THE COMPONENTS. *TR

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ABOVE THE GLOVEBOX HAS EXPOSED ITSELF AND THE ACTUAL PART OF THE SURROUNDING DASHBOARD HAS LIFTED UPWARDS ON IT'S OWN, IT APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT AND NOW MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND I'M SCARED IT WILL GO OFF AT ANY TIME DUE TO THE EXPOSURE OF THE COMPONENTS. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS MY 2007 FORD FUSION SE V6 WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. ENGINE WOULD REMAIN RUNNING BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THIS OCCURS. SOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR COMPLETELY OFF FOR 30 SECONDS AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES OR SEVERAL 1000 MILES BEFORE REPEATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AT FORD WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITH ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO GET AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS THE EXACT OEM PART WHICH HAS THE SAME DEFECT. FORD WANTS ME TO PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART WITH A DEFECTIVE PART. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSING POWER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC THE RISK OF A CRASH IS EVEN MORE OF A CONCERN. WHY IS FORD NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE ON A RECALL? THIS IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS LIFTED UP NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE NEXT MORNING THE LIGHT WAS OFF UNTIL A SHORT TRIP TO THE MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND GOT 2 ERROR CODES. BOTH SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

BACK IN JUNE,2014 I NOTICED SOMETHING WEIRD ON MY DASH. FOR SOME REASON THE DASH ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS BUBBLING UP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE HEAT FROM THE SUN, SO I STARTED PARKING MY CAR IN THE SHADE TO AVOID HIGHER TEMPS HITTING THE DASH. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT HELP. THE BUBBLE KEPT GROWING AND GROWING. NOW IT'S SO LARGE THAT I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAG HAS BECOME COMPROMISED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY WHEN I'M DRIVING OR POSSIBLE NOT DEPLOY IF I AM IN A CAR ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE FIX THIS FORD!! VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

DASHBOARD COVER AREA OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS STARTING TO BULGE AND I CAN SEE AIRBAG. CONCERNED ABOUT FAILURE OF AIRBAG TO DEPLOY OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT. INTERNET SEARCH HAS FOUND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND APPARENTLY FORD DOES NOT DO ANYTHING IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, WHICH, MINE IS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF MISHAP TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. LETS GET FORD TO REPAIR OR REMEDY THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS FAULT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE EXPRESSWAY MY TWO FRONT WHEELS TURNED RIGHT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
