2012 Ford Fusion UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I STOPPED TO GET GAS, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED ROLLING FORWARD AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT. I LEAPED BACK IN AND HIT THE BRAKE AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T START BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERING THAT THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK. I WENT INTO THE GEAR SHIFT AREA BY PULLING OFF THE CENTER CONSOLE AND MANUALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL SO I COULD START THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THAT SIMILAR ISSUES WERE FOUND IN 2013 AND NEWER FORD FUSIONS AND THEY WERE RECALLED. I'M THINKING THE 2012 YEAR FORD FUSION SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CAN CAN BREAK INTERNALLY WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES SUCH AS A HOT SUMMER DAY ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE PLASTIC USED OFF-GASES AND LOSES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OVER TIME UNFIL FAILURE OCCURS POTENTIALLY TRAPPING A PERSON WHO IS UNABLE TO REACH THE EXTERIOR HANDLE IN THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS IS A PATTERN OF HAPPENINGS WITH THE 2012 FORD FUSION DUE TO A CHANGE BY FORD IN DOOR HANDLE CONSTRUCTION. REPAIRS ARE OFTEN INEFFECTIVE AS IT IS REPLACED WITH A SIMILAR PART THAT FAILS IN THE SAME MANNER.

DOOR LATCH - DRIVER'S DOOR INTERIOR HANDLE - FAILED. SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE THE SAME FAILURE MODE REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORD MODELS AND YEARS. THE HANDLE DOES NOT CONTROL THE DOOR. THE LOCK MECHANISM DOES NOT FUNCTION.

TAKATA RECALL INCIDENT WHERE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS VEHICLE WAS JUMPING OUT OF GEAR , ONE SPECIFIC INCIDENT WHERE TWO PASSENGERS WHERE IN VEHICLE AND VEHICLE JUMPED INTO DEPARTMENT OF VEHICLE BUILDING WHILE CAR WAS IN PARKED GEAR AND POLICE REPORT WAS MADE DUE TO NO ONE PHYSICALLY IN DRIVERS SEAT.

THE DRIVER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN DOOR. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR MODELS BEFORE AND AFTER 2012 FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM 70 YRS OLD AND CANNOT REPAIR THIS MYSELFLF NOT HAVE FUNDS TO HAVE REPAIR. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AND PROBLEM

I HAD A LEAK UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR, STAINING MY DRIVEWAY. EVEN AFTER HAVING THE PTU REPLACED, I STILL HAD A LEAK. I ONLY REALIZED IT WAS LEAKING WHEN I HAD TO PARK IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION IN MY DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER GARAGE. FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION TUBE WERE RUSTED, THUS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE GARAGE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TUBES, AND REPLACED ALL THE FLUID.

TAKATA RECALL TRANMISSION SOMETIMES DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH, MY CONTROL PANEL STARTING LIGHTING UP WITH A BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT I WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP. AS I APPROACHED THE NEXT EXIT, I TRIED STEPPING ON THE BRAKES BUT IT WAS LIKE PUSHING ON AIR FOR A GOOD 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE MY CAR WOULD COME TO A STOP. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED IT WOULD CONTINUE TO ROLL SLIGHTLY. I HAPPEN TO BE TAKING IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE THAT DAY SO I HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF WHAT THE CODES READ FOR THEM. MY REGULAR MECHANIC ASKED THAT I TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE I AM A TEACHER AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO A FORD DELAERSHIP. AFTER READING ARTICLES ONLINE AND FINDING THIS SPECIFIC ARTICLE HTTPS://WWW.FORBES.COM/SITES/JENSEN/2018/04/24/BRAKE-FAILURE-FEDS-INVESTIGATE-WHETHER-FORD-SHOULD-RECALL-ONE-MILLION-SEDANS/#CA8321370C67 I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS, SCARY PROBLEM.

SBS BREAK SYSTEM. REPAIRS FROM DEALER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE CAR SOMETIMES SPEEDS UP, WHEN USING BREAKS.

ISSUE WITH BLOWER MOTOR SHORTING OUT AND SMELL OF MELTING PLASTIC FROM BLOWER MOTOR CABLING. BLOWER MOTOR REPLACED ONCE AND HAS SINCE GONE OUT AGAIN DUE TO SAME ISSUE IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR.

I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY FORD FUSION, I'VE TRIED THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE, AND IT WON'T OPEN THE DOOR, TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY TOLD ME DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN, NOT UNDER WARRANTEE, I'VE BARELY HAD MY CAR 2 MONTHS, TRIED ROLLING DOWN DRIVER'S WINDOW, AND THE DOOR LOCK HAS JAMMED, TWICE, CAUSING ME A LIFE DEATH SITUATION, WHERE, I WAS LITERALLY TRAPPED IN MY CAR FOR 25 MINUTES, TWICE, NO PHONE OR WATER, AND PASSERBY'S DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED, JUST TO HELP ME GET MY DOOR UNJAMMED. I WAS SWEATING PROFUSELY, I HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE SHIFTER AND EMERGENCY BRAKE JUST TO GET TO THE PASSENGER DOOR TO GET TO SAFETY, AND WITH A LUMBAR BRACE ON FOR MY 9 COMPRESSED DISCS IN MY BACK AND 7 IN MY NECK, I WAS REALLY SCARED THAT I WOULD DIE IN MY CAR. IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES TO GET TO THE PASSENGER DOOR AND IN TWICE AD MUCH PAIN TWISTING MY BACK AND NECK, I WAS ON THE VERGE OF HEAT EXHAUSTION FROM A HOT CAR IN AZ WHERE THE OUTSIDE TEMPS GET OVER 108 DEGREES IN THE SUMMERTIME. I WAS DRIPPING WET WHEN I FINALLY FOUND A WAY OUT OF MY CAR. THIS DOOR HANDLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTEE, AND IT SHOULD BE, FOR PEOPLE ON LOW INCOME SITUATIONS, OR HAVE A RECALL ON THE DOOR LOCK AND HANDLE SITUATION, BECAUSE IT'S A MANUFACTURES DEFECT, BUT, FORD WON'T ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DO IT HANDLES BREAKING AND TRAPPING PEOPLE IN THEIR CARS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, SO FORD CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEFECT AND REDESIGN IT DIFFERENTLY SO THE DOOR HANDLES DON'T BREAK,AND TRAP PEOPLE IN THEIR CARS. MY CAR IS NOW DANGEROUS TO ME, I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT SAFELY WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF, AND THAT'S VERY, VERY BAD. I DON'T WANT TO DIE IN A HOT CAR IN AZ, THAT'S A SLOW DEATH. PLEASE HAVE THIS DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM RECALLED, AND COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE'S SO FORD CAN FIX AND PAY FOR THEIR OWN MECHANICAL PROBLEM INSTEAD OF THE LOW INCOME SENIORS THAT NEED DEPENDABLE CARS.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. STARTED CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE THEN POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON THE CAR

HI MY DOOR HADLES ON MY 2012 FORD FUSION ARE LOOSE AND STICKING OUT CAN NOT LOCK DOORS MANUELY OR WITH KEY. CALLED FORD NOT ON RECALL,BUT 2013 AND 2014 ARE. THIS IS A FORD DEFECT AND I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS.I NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTED PROBLYM NOT RIGHT TY

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, IGNITION TURNED OFF. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE OUTSIDE DOOR LATCH. TOOK TO FORD DEALER, GROSS MOTORS IN SPENCER, WI. THEY REPLACED BROKEN PART IN LATCH ASSEMBLY, COST $100. VEHICLE HAS 55,000 MILES.

WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ON MY FUSION, THE DOOR HANDLE LET LOOSE AND I COULD NO LONGER GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DOOR HANDLE IS APPARENTLY BROKEN. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL LAST EVENING. APPARENTLY DOOR HANDLES ON DIFFERENT YEARS OF FUSION HAVE DONE THE SAME AND FORD REPLACED THEM. ALL OF THE CARS ARE THE EXACT SAME INTERIOR AS MINE APPEARS TO BE ON THE VIDEOS IN WHICH THIS BREAKAGE OCCURRED. I HAD JUST PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE MY BOYFRIEND OPEN MY DOOR TO LET ME OUT OF THE CAR

ON INTERSTATE 59 ALABAMA CAR WENT DEAD LOSED ALL POWER BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON A SECOND GOT OFF ROAD TRIED TO CRANK TURNED KEY ON AND CAR KEPT GRINDING LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO CRANK WITHOUT TOUCHING KEY HAD TO TURN IT TO OFF TO STOP IT FROM TRYING TO CRANK SET THERE FOR 30MIN THEN STARTED.. GOT HOME 30 MILES LATER. STARTED OFF THIS MORNING DIED AGAIN 2 BLOCKS FROM HOUSE. SAME THING AGAIN

WENT TO OPEN MY DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR & OUT OF NOWHERE THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD NOT WORK. TO GET OUT OF MY CAR RIGHT NOW I NEED TO PUT DOWN THE WINDOW & REACH OUT TO OPEN WITH OUTSIDE HANDLE OR GET OUT PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO COLD TEMPERATURES & NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. IT'S REALLY INCONVENIENT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD RECALLS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN AND NOT SECURE. WE SEE A RECALL TO INCLUDE 2013-2014 FORD FUSION, BUT OURS IS A 2012. IT LOOKS LIKE SAME ISSUE. COMPLAINTS.COM SHOWS A COMPLAINT LIST HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FUSION/2012/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/DOOR_HANDLE_FAILURE.SHTML

ON 2/27, WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I TRIED UNLOCKING IT TO NO AVAIL. I HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND USE THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO GET OUT. (CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT) WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, I WAS TOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER REPAIR, AS THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT IS NOT A MECHANICAL FAILURE, READ YOUR CONTRACT. SO APPARENTLY SAFETY IS NOT AN ISSUE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

MOON ROOF SHATTERED GLASS

CAR IIS IN PARK AND PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION IT WILL NOT COME OUT . MAKING SURE IT IS IN PARKED , TURN THE WHEEL TRIED ALL THAT AND STILL STUCK THE ONLY WAY I CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT NEEDED A NEW SHIFTER

THE DRIVERS INSIDE DOOR HADLE WON'T OPEN THE DOOR. THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY GARAUGE WHEN THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. FORD IS CHARGING US $240 TO FIX IT. THE CAR ODOMETER HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES BREAK QUICKLY. THE DRIVES SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BUSTED 2 TIMES IN A YEAR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BUSTED AS WELL. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FLAW ON FORD'S PART. I HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE DOOR HANDLE ONCE AND NOW GOTTA FIX THEM BOTH.

DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BREAKING.

DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. MUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE UNLOCK BUTTON STAYS HALF OPEN; WON'T MOVE EITHER WAY.
