My sunroof glass is leaking water and rusting. The rusting is so bad itβs flaking off into my hair and my eyes. Please Help me !!!
Many people (including myself) have problems with 2013 to 2016 ford hybrid transmissions. My transmission fails on the well know 14b07 problem, where bearings fail and the car simply gives you a warning a stops in the middle of the road, luckily I had time to push my car to the side, avoiding an accident. Ford should fix this for free once many customers had the same problem. I took my car to a dealership and the answer was to buy a new transmission for over $7000 dollars. They do not even offer a repair for it.
While driving on the freeway lost control of steering, spun around into traffic when trying to switch lanes, and flipped over multiple times across the freeway without airbag deployment. My passenger and I suffered injury due to this. I am still going to physical therapy for my shoulder. No messages prior to the accident, I made sure to follow all safety precautions and take care of maintenance, and all safety recalls as soon as possible. The car has been sent over to the police and insurance company for further inspection.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light would remain illuminated. Occasionally, the vehicle would lose motive power and stall or not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The car stalls randomly when running at low speeds / low rpms. Scenario: after being parked for extended period of time, like overnight. Drive few miles, 5 to 10 miles and stop at parking lot. Upon re-starting the car and driving slow on the parking lot, the car suddenly lose power and stalls. Need to put on park and crank for about 5 to 10 seconds to restart. Then runs fine. Couple of times was crossing a road from a parking lot and stalled right across the incoming traffic. No engine light. Took to mechanic which could not reproduce the problem.
Trunk pops open randomly. Has had three times that Iβm aware of.
Vehicle locked itself into drive position (Transmission) and will not move to any other shift. Car turned off and now will not turn back off. Had to get help pushing vehicle back into driveway until this can be fixed. Vehicle is now locked in drive mode, engine is off. Will not restart.
THE BUSHING SHIFTER HAS CAUSED THE GEAR TO BE IN PARK WHILE THE DASHBOARD SAYS REVERSE. THE CAR WON'T START AND WITHOUT EMERGENCY BREAKS IT ROLLS. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ALONG WITH 3 OTHER RECALLS. THE CAR WAS IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT.
While driving the transmission shifts extremely hard. When you accelerate to pass or speed up the car downshifts the RPMs skyrocket and the cars transmission is stuck causing an extremely dangerous situation. Driving down the road the car jerks or RPMs will go up for no reason. The car recently got stuck at n reverse in a parking garage. Backing up the gearshift went into park and the transmission stuck in revers. Took to dealership and was told they didnβt have time to look at it after having cut for a whole day and half after I had yo pay for my own rental car. She said thatβs just how the transmission is.
My car is hard shifting, doesn't pick up on speed and has a whining noise coming underneath the hood of the car. My fluid levels are bad the fluid is black I got the 5 quarts replaced but there is still black fluid in the rest of the transmission. Is that causing my car to still mess up?
While driving on the highway last week at around 65 mph (10 minutes into my commute), my car display sensor started indicating that there was a door that became loose and unlatched. I had nobody in the car with me and noticed that the passenger front door popped loose and needed to be pushed closed. I have not seen the incident occur a second time, not has it been inspected.
It has been reported that the battery in the trunk of the vehicle caught fire and melted down. It is unknown if the vehicle was being operated at the time of the incident. It is unknown if there is a fire or police report available. This is a U.S. Government vehicle owned by GSA and the vehicle is self insured by the government. There was an estimate written by a repair facility and the vehicle has been determined a total loss.
I was driving around a 2 lane roundabout when my cars steering wheel lost power steering causing me to Swerve into outside Lane almost hitting another vehicle. There were no other warning lights on before this happened but after the incident I had a steering assist, hill top and advanced traction control lights come on. And now have no power steering
While at drive through at Smoothie King, brakes just went out WITH NO WARNING. I had to press the brake pedal all the way to the ground and the car eventually stopped. Noone was hurt, no property or car was damaged (thank goodness) Slowly drove in parking lot and called wife to meet me. Then the indicator "Low brake fluid" flashed. Took other car to auto parts, purchase brake fluid. Went back to car, poured brake fluid in car. Did not help as still had to press brake pedal all the way to floor. Saw puddle of brake fluid on ground. Searched online and saw same issue on Ford Fusion reported as there was no warning. Some people got into an accident, others did not. When I called Ford today at 8:48 am, rep said VIN # not on recall but said there have been brake issues but my VIN # is not on recall. I do not want to pay for the cost as I would have to have the car towed to the Ford shop. I am being proactive to have it reported so it can be repaired at no cost like all of the recalls on my car.
On June 15th, 2021 The APM module stopped working as well as the audio control module in my 2014 Ford fusion. The radio did not work. The phone remained connected, I could call out, people could dial in, people could hear me but I could not hear them. Since my hands-free device no longer worked that put me at a safety risk. I am currently paying for the dealer to replace the APIM module, and they have already replaced the audio control module at my cost. The component is under recall for multiple other Ford Models. There has been a technical safety bulletin on it for my model and they have replaced it up to six years. Mine did not go out until the 7th year.
MY TRANSMISSION IS MESS UP IS THERE A RECALL ON 2014 FORD FUSION BLACK
[XXX] 11/2/21. I was driving mi kids to the movies on 10/31/21 when suddenly I made a right turn to enter the theater parking lot, and the left rear door open. My daughter was sitting there and tilt to the left while the door was open, she grabbed my seat to hold her self. She was with her seat belt on, and I was entering the parking lot at low speed, which I am very thankful. I already made an appointment with my local Ford dealer for them to fix the problem, but I really can't trust this vehicle anymore. That's a serious safety concern that the doors don't latch to securely close. This is a LEMON CAR and I don't feel safe. I will like to get help with getting this vehicle off my hands and from any other's persons possession, IT'S NOT SAFE! Now I just learned that there's more safety recalls on the vehicle besides the doors not latching. Please help me.

MY BACK UP CAMERA CONTINUOUSLY STOPS WORKING. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. FROM A SITTING POSITION WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE MOST TIMES THE BACK UP CAM WILL COME ON AND STAY ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN GO TO A BLACK SCREEN AND SOMETIMES STAY BLACK AND OTHER TIMES CRAZY IMAGES WILL COME UP. IT ALMOST APPEARS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF SHORT IN IT CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. FOR SEVERAL YEARS IT WORKED PROPERLY, NOW EVERY TIME I PLACE IN REVERSE IT IS A GUESSING GAME AS TO WHETHER IT WILL WORK AT ALL.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PURGE VAPOR LINE RESTRICTED/BLOCKED. IT WAS FIXED BY FIVE STAR FORD OF WARNER ROBINS, GA FOR $924.
WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION LEAVING A WALMART, THE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AND NOW WONT CLOSE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH IN THE 13-14 FORD FUSIONS AND OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED BUT NOT FOR MY VIN? HOW IS IT THAT I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT IS SIMILAR TO ONE ALREADY COVERED BY A RECALL, BUT NOT MY CAR? *TR
DOOR LATCHES ARE NOT WORKING
MY CAR RAN HOT ON ME FOR THE FIRST TIME. I ADDED COOLANT AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. HAD TO GET VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS COOLANT INTRUSION. THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF VEHICLES THAT DID THE SAME THING. THE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT GET ABOUT ONE VEHICLE A WEEK THIS HAPPENS. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I WAS GOING THE SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT STARTED LOSING SPEED AND JUST DIED ON ME WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
THE AC CLUTCH FELL OUT OF MY CAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE AC TO GO OUT. MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE BOLT THAT WAS 'HOLDING' THIS PART IN WAS STILL THERE BUT CLUTCH WAS MISSING AND TORE THE BELT. SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT.
THE 2014 FORD FUSION THAT I HAVE HAS BEEN CUTTING COMPLETELY OFF WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION, LEAVING MYSELF, CHILDREN AND OTHERS IN A HIGH POSITION TO BE SEVERLY INJURED EVEN KILLED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY CONCERNING AND THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THERE ARE NO ALERTS OR WARNING SIGNS COMING ON. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT CUTS OFF THERE IS NO WARNING NO ALERTS NOTHING IT JUST CUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY ON BUSY INTERSECTIONS ITS VERY ALARMING AND DANGEROUS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PEOPLE ON A GOOGLE SEARCH THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I AM PREPARED TO SEEK AN ATTORNEY FOR THIS ISSUE IF NEEDED BUT THIS HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIEATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SEVERLY INJURED OR DIES. THE SPEED CAN VERY BEFORE THIS IS HAPPENING ANYWHERE FROM 35-75 JUST DEPENDS WHERE I AM
