2014 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

OPEN RECALL NUMBER 16S42 - SEAT BELT TENSIONERS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY - FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I AM WRITING TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON FORD THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ALTERANTE TRANSPORTATION FOR A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE

ACCORDING TO NHTSA RECALL 16V-875, RECALL IS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBELT PRETENSIONER CABLES. THEY MAY SEPARATE AND NOT ADEQUATELY RESTRAIN DRIVER OR OCCUPANT IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. I'VE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SINCE 1/23/17 AND THE PARTS ARE NEVER IN! WHAT GOOD ARE SEATBELTS THAT MIGHT NOT WORK AND REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT ARE NEVER AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM?? MY ONLY FORD DEALER IS THE FREDERICK MOTOR COMPANY, 1 WAVERLEY DR, FREDERICK, MD 21702, (800) 734-9118.

IT WILL NOT LET ME TURN. IT IS VERY HARD TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT

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.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO WOULD SURGE FORWARD. I HAVE INFORMED THE FORD DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE JANUARY 2017.

THE LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR STOPPED WORKING, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR TO NOT LATCH SHUT. APPARENTLY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IN THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED.

"SUSPENSION KNOCK WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL; THE WHEELS STICKS DURING SHARP TURN INS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE IN MOTION." "THE KNOCK IS ALSO HAPPENING WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY TURNING THE WHEELS TO EITHER SIDE LEFT OR RIGHT; THE WHEELS STICK." "AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SOUND CAN NOT BE HEARD BUT THE CAR DOES HANDLE ODDLY AS A RESULT FROM THE SUSPENSION ISSUES." "AT LOW SPEEDS THE SOUND CAN BE HEARD WHEN TRUING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT, THE WHEELS WILL STICK DURING THIS PROCESS." "ALSO, THE STEERING IS LOOSE AND HAS SOME PLAY; STABILITY CONTROL MAY NEED TO BE INSPECTED DUE TO THE ODD DRIVING HABITS AT LOW TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE TODAY 6 JAN 2017, DUE TO THE CUSTOMERS FEAR THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE, IT WAS INSPECTED BY A NEAR BY MECHANIC "TIRE ENGINEERS" THE CAR IS AT 31,200+ MILES AND HAVING MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE SUSPENSION. "THIS IS ONE OF MANY TIMES THE CAR HAS HAD A "FRONT END SUSPENSION ISSUE"; ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE AT A DEALER (OPELIKA FORD) HAVE ENDED IN FAILURE TO PROVIDE WARRANTY PARTS TO REPLACE FAULTY PARTS IN THE PAST. SINCE OPELIKA FORD DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE, 2014 FORD FUSION AWD SEDAN, ON 6 JAN 2017 AN APPOINT WAS MADE FOR 11 JAN 2017 TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT THAT DEALER, NO WALK-INS ALLOWED; UNCLEAR IF THE CAR WAS SAFE THE CUSTOMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER IN COLUMBUS, GA. ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR SATURDAY 7 JAN 2017 TO DIAGNOSES SUSPENSION ISSUES. THERE IS A 36,000 MILES MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ON GOING WITH NO RESOLUTION BUT A BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE DEALER (OPELIKA FORD) AND CUSTOMER'S HOME, PLACING 40 MILES TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER AND FROM DEALER'S LOCATION, AS A RESULT THE MECHANICAL ISSUES HAVE WORSEN." "THE DRIVE IS PLACING THE CAR OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY SOON." "PART COST ASSESSMENT IS $2226.37 TO REPLACE IF OUT OF WARRANTY."

MY WIFE ARRIVED AT WORK AND SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. WHILE EXITING THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. SHE HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT.

MINE WAS AT THE FLAT ROCK ASSEMBLY PLANT AS THE RECALLED CARS WERE, JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER THE CUTOFF DATE OF SEPT. 14, 2013.

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

MY CAR HAS HAD AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE SEATBELTS SINCE 03 NOV 2016, AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO SEVERAL OTHER RECALLS, INCLUDING ONE A COUPLE DAYS AGO FOR FAULTY DOOR LATCHES, AND THE OVERALL POOR QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS A VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN RECALL. I FEEL THAT FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS IS AN EXCESSIVE TIME FOR A RECALL TO STILL HAVE NO REMEDY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (MULLINAX FORD OF KISSIMMEE 1810 E IRLO BRONSON MEMORIAL HWY, KISSIMMEE, FL 34744 407-846-6000) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY, TRANSMISSION, BATTERY, AND DRIVE TRAIN.

NOTHING HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE AS OF YET, BUT NEARLY 12 MONTHS AGO A RECALL WAS MADE ON MY CAR'S SEAT BELTS SAYING THEY "MAY NOT ADEQUATELY RESTRAIN PASSENGERS" AND THEY HAVE NOT YET PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THIS. A YEAR IS WAY TOO LONG FOR SOMETHING INVOLVING SAFETY IN A CRASH.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V167000 (STEERING).

THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2016, IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO DOCUMENTATION FROM FORD ABOUT THIS RECALL. I NOW HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH COMBINED WITH SEATBELTS THAT MIGHT NOT ADEQUATELY RESTRAIN ME AND/OR PASSENGER IN THE CRASH. SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY AWFUL COMBO. THE RECALL STATES THAT NO FIX IS YET AVAILABLE, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS. RECALL NUMBER IS 16S42

WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN "STEERING ASSIST FAILURE PULL OVER SAFELY" LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES AND WE TOOK IT TO FORD FOR REPAIR AND THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC RACK ASSEMBLY DUE TO A SHORT IN THE GEAR BOX... *TR

THERE IS A RECALL ON BOLTS HOLDING THE STEERING ASSEMBLY TOGETHER, AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT IN MY 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD OVERALL SAY THAT BECAUSE THE BOLTS WERE FINE THEY AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR MY POWER STEERING NEEDING TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THEY CAN'T TELL ME HOW THE STEERING WOULD GO IN A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT IS DRIVEN TO WORK AND THE GROCERY STORE, NOT OFF-ROADING OR RACING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND WAS STARTED AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE POWER STEERING FAILED.

THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF (NO POWER, NO ENGINE) WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO FORD - BUT THEY NEVER SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED IT. FORTUNATELY - IT HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED IN LIGHT TRAFFIC - BUT IT IS SCARY AND I FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SOMEDAY I MIGHT BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE MY BACKSEAT SEAT BELTS 3 TIMES, TWICE ON THE PASSENGER BACKSEAT AND ONCE ON THE DRIVER BACKSEAT. MIND YOU THESE ARE SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT GET LATCHED AND UNLATCHED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY LIKE THE DRIVER SEAT, BUT THESE SEAT BELTS STAY LATCHED WITH A CAR SEAT SO THEY SHOULD NOT BE GETTING WORE OUT SO QUICK. ALSO THESE BELTS BROKE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NO PRESSURE ON THEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY FOR ME ESPECIALLY SINCE MY TWO CHILDREN RIDE IN THESE SEATS DAILY AND THE SEAT BELTS BROKEN WITH OUT ANY PRESSURE. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I GET REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE GOING 50 MPH???? I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ONLY WANTED TO DO 2 THINGS: CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELTS AS THE BREAK...REALLY, NEXT TIME IT COULD BE BROKE FROM A WRECK!! THE OTHER OPTION WAS TO TRADE MY CAR IN. FIRST OFF THEY DID NOT OFFERED ME NOWHERE NEAR WHAT I WOULD NEED, SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANT IF I TRADED IT IN I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT THEY WOULD TURN AROUND AND SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES FROM FORD HECK MY HUSBAND USED TO WORK THERE, BUT I WAS EXTREMELY SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF CARE OR WORRY FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY IN THIS MATTER.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF STEERING POWER WHILE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PULLING OVER THE CAR LIGHT FLASHING SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, AND STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY" I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. NO RECALL FOUND?
