2007 Ford Fusion Electrical System

PCM BOARD IS BAD. THE CAR HAS 106,000 MILES.

DOOR HANDLES AND LOCKS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE (AND SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOOR) DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, POSING A SAFETY CONCERN. IF CAR WAS TO CATCH ON FIRE, PASSENGER WOULD HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. ALSO SOME DOORS LOCK AND SOME DO NOT. NOT A SAFTEY CONCERN, BUT CERTAINLY AN ISSUE. MY SON HAD A 2006 FORD FUSION THAT DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS I NOTED ABOVE, THEREFORE, IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE FORD FUSIONS.

#4 COIL SHORTED OUT ELM.

NO A/C TO TO COMPRESSOR DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. LIGHTS IN THE CAR ALWAYS DIM.

PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK BUZZES BUT DOESN'T LOCK. WHEN THE CAR IS LOCKED, THE DOOR CAN STILL BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SHAKING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT A REDUCED SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION AND POWER CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START, IT FAILED TO RESTART AFTER BEING SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM, THE SPARK PLUGS, AND THE COILS HAD ALL MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

PCM FAILED ON A 2007 FORD FUSION SE V6 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS RESULTED IN NEAR-IMMEDIATE ELECTRICAL FAILURE, STALLING THE CAR AFTER APP. 30 SECONDS. USER FORUMS ONLINE SEEM TO INDICATE THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 2007 FUSIONS, POSSIBLY STEMMING FROM ECU FAILURE (ALTHOUGH OPINIONS ARE UNDECIDED ON WHETHER A FEEDBACK ISSUE CAUSES THE ECU TO FAIL, OR THE ECU FAILS AND CAUSES FEEDBACK). DAMAGE TO THE CAR INCLUDED FRYING ALL SIX SPARK PLUGS, AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO ALL SIX IGNITION COILS WHICH NECESSITATED REPLACEMENT, AS WELL AS NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT OF PCM UNIT. FORD ALSO DRAWS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE WARRANTY ON THE ECU (8 YEARS / 80,000 MILES) AND THE WARRANTY ON THE PCM (3 YEARS / 36,000 MILES) WHEN ASSESSING THE DAMAGE - SINCE THIS FAILURE COMMONLY RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO THE PCM, THEY ALMOST ALWAYS SEEM TO ELECT TO CONSIDER ONLY THE PCM WARRANTY. TOTAL COST TO DRIVER: APP. $2,000 PLUS LABOR.

I HAD JUST WENT TO THE STORE, DROPPED MY COUSIN OFF AT HOME RIGHT UP THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. I PULLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND GAVE IT GAS AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 10 MPH. I NOTICE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, A CAR WAS COMING UP FAST, SO I PULLED OVER OUT THE WAY UNTIL THE WAY WAS CLEAR, THEN I PUTTED ALL THE WAY HOME. THE CAR HAD NO POWER. I HAVE BEEN GOOGLING THESE PROBLEMS, AND I HAD A MECHANIC COME TO MY HOUSE AND PUT THE DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE ON MY CAR AND IT CAME BACK WITH A CODE OF: P2110 2007 FORD FUSION - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - FORCED LIMITED RPM ....READ MORE: HTTP://ENGINE-CODES.COM/P2110_2007_FORD_FUSION.HTML#IXZZ3SVZZPPZK. AS I AM STILL GOOGLING, LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO GET THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED. WELL IT HASN'T BEEN A YEAR SINCE THAT CAR LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I HAD TO GO THE CHEAP WAY OF GETTING THE COMPUTER FIXED AND ALL COILS REPLACED WHICH WAS 800.00. NOW ITS SAYING I HAVE TO GET THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. I AM NOT FINANCIAL STABLE TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A CAR WHERE THE COMPUTER KEEPS MESSING UP, AND, ME DRIVING IT AND LOSING POWER IS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY... I READ THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON THIS UP UNTIL JANUARY 2015 BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THAT. MY CAR HAS 1756500 GIVE OR TAKE ON IT A LITTLE *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. DROVE HOME DOING ABOUT 20 MPH WITH HIGH RPMS. #2 COIL BURNT AND MELTED, BLOWN PCM. HAD TO HAVE PCM REPROGRAMMED AND REPLACE ALL 6 COIL PACKS. SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 AWD, FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE OR PCM BURNED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AT CYLINDER #4. IT IS A 2007 FORD FUSION WITH 100,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS WAS NO FAIL-SAFE TO SHUT THE COMPUTER TO AVOID A POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. THE MECHANIC ADVISED IF THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN ANYMORE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD AN ENGINE FIRE. *TR

COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. APPEARS RANDOM TO THE DRIVER. RPM INSTABILITY. DEAD BATTERY AFTER HAVING JUST TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. THE BATTERY WAS JUMP STARTED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE FOR A SHORT PERIOD BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE BATTERY CONNECTORS WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,055. UPDATED 03/14/12*LJ

THE A/C SUDDENLY STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. THE A/C SYSTEM HAD OVER 200 PSI WHICH BURNED UP THE A/C COMPRESSOR. COMPRESSOR WAS CHANGED AND NOW IT IS READING THAT IT IS 40 DEGREES. FAILURE IN THE A/C EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SWITCH. *TR

THE DASH PANEL ON MY 2007 FUSION SUDDENLY LIT UP - OIL LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT, ETC. - AND AFTER STOPPING THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE BATTERY CABLES (ESPECIALLY THE POSITIVE ONE) WERE HIGHLY CORRODED. AFTER REMOVING THE CORROSION AND REPLACING THE BATTERY IT STARTED. FIVE WEEKS LATER IT FAILED TO START AGAIN. BOTH TIMES THE RADIO AND LIGHTS WORKED BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I TRIED JUMPING IT OFF, BUT IT DID NOT EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY CABLES AND 20 FEET OF CABLE WIRE WERE COMPLETELY CORRODED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 48,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT LIVE IN A HIGH SALT AREA EITHER. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EITHER. I BELIEVE THAT SUBSTANDARD EQUIPMENT WAS USED AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A NOTICE SENT OUT TO OTHER FUSION OWNERS TO TAKE ANY PRECAUTIONARY STEPS TO AVOID THIS ' IF THERE ARE ANY. ULTIMATELY, I THINK FORD SHOULD COVER THIS REPAIR. IT IS CLEARLY DUE TO SHODDY CABLES AND WIRING. *TR

I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. A BIT OF RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS COULD BE DUE TO A FAULTY PART IN THE GEAR SHIFTER. AFTER MESSING AROUND WITH THE SHIFTER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, IT FINALLY LOCKED FULLY INTO PARK AND I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. *TR

FORD FUSION 2007 KEY WON'T COME OUT OF IGNITION. I JUST HAD IT IN TO FORD TWO WEEKS AGO FOR THE SAME THING AND PAID $438. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. IT WAS RULED AS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. UPDATED 8/24/09 *CN UPDATED 08/26/09. *JB

NO A/C , ELECTRICAL NOT SUPPLIED TO COMPRESSOR , NO HELP FROM FORD , LACK OC CONCERN. *TR

THE 2007 FORD FUSION DEVELOPED ERRATIC ELECTRICAL POWER AND STARTING FAILURE. DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE BATTERY CABLES HAD ESSENTIALLY DISINTEGRATED FROM BATTERY POSTS ALONG CONSIDERABLE LENGTH OF THE CABLES, ALSO DESTROYING THE BATTERY WITH EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND SPLITTING THE PLASTIC CABLE SHEATHS. VEHICLE WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD BUT HAD 42,000 MI. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH IMMEDIATELY FOUND 3 OTHER 2006-2007 FUSIONS WITH SAME OCCURRENCE, ALL JUST SLIGHTLY OVER THE 36,000MI WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED. FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A TSB, HAS NOT VOLUNTEERED TO COVER ANY OF THE $428 COST. THIS IS A CLEAR QUALITY CONTROL PRODUCT FAILURE, UNACCEPTABLE ON ANY 2-YR-OLD VEHICLE, AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE OR STRANDING SITUATION. *TR
