The power windows all quit working at the same time. After a few weeks the passenger front window started working. I took the car in for a recall, at that time I asked them to check the windows as well as the locks. The only way to lock the car was the key fob. No codes came up when put on dialysis. The windows all worked after they checked, they suggested replacing the masterwindow switch. I declined since the windows worked. Shortly after my control panel quit working I cannot get any heat or air. This wil periodically work for a few minutes then quit. Recently the low tire pressure system will come on, tire pressures are perfect, after turning off the car the light goes away. Everything except the tire light has happened while driving and while parked. Tire pressure has only happened while driving. Also when the console quit working the outside temperature does not show on the dash.

My Fusion had inoperable wipers and turn signals. The steering wheel controls would not work or toggle between any information. The blinkers would not work at all. Wipers would only work on full speed. I had to drive for 20 miles and then everything started to work again.

I've had my car for 5 years. 6 months after I purchased it it started showing transmission issues. It's almost like it gets stuck in a gear when trying to accelerate, and then it flings your forward. When driving up a hill it won't go over 30mph. I took it in over 2 years ago to Ford and was told a transmission recall for 2014 Ford Fusion was coming. 2 years later and I'm being told my car doesn't qualify but is showing all the signs that's listed on the recall. Just last week my car shut off while driving on the freeway with my kids in the car. Since it's happened 3 times. Since it started shutting off while driving a new issue has progressed. My car now jerks when trying to accelerate. If I have the heater in it smells like something is burning. We used a code reader and it told us transmission issues but Ford still says I don't qualify.

Appearlly Ford Motor Company knew about apim system malfunctioning that they extended the warrant starting from 2014 for 5 years and didn't notify to the customers so after your warranty is gone the apim system will no longer work and by law all manufacturing need to notify of any abnormal situation on your vehicle. Their understanding is that this does not fall under a safety recall, but without having the speakers or sound working you will not hear your seatbelt chime you will not hear your motor senses chime when crossing A-line, you will not hear your vehicles chime reversing nor will you see your camera. I have seen 1000ths of people having the same problem and Ford will not fix it because "their warranty has expired" they are requesting $1000 to fix it.hopefully this can be announced for another customers before their warranty expires and they don't have to pay 1000 dollars like myself

While driving on a 2 lane flat road the car started losing power, when I press the gas harder the car really speeded up and after 2 blocks it started losing power again, within that time the "hill start assist" warning light came on and went off losing power on and off for 5 miles until I reached home. After getting home I notice the brake light didn't go off after 2 hours, so I had to remove battery cable. I had to have it towed to repair shop and they repaired brake switch because I didn't know if it would stop completely.

The seat belt tightened up. I noticed it a few days ago. Today when I was trying to put the seat back up it wouldn't because the seat belt has no slack to let it come up.

My 2014 Ford Fusion has electrical problems. The ac/heater just come on full blast sometimes and sometimes not at all.. it is very dangerous when I'm trying to drive in bad weather. It wont even defrost my windows correctly.. my transmission is slipping and has done so for 5 years. Ford dealers have not helped in anyway even thought I have a recall letter stating the there was a recall on the shifter cable. It said that my car isn't going all the way into gear/park and it could cause problems for transmission in the future and it has. I need help, please! the shifter cable broke completely off and fidd had it towed to fix it. They fixed it in less then 30mins but did not even look at my transmission after I told them that my car is driving horrible. It has no power hardly when I press the gas. I have almost been in several bad wrecks because of it. I can't drive over 70 miles an hour so my car knocking really hard. Also my headliner on the inside of my car is falling down. Ford said they were measured wrong when they built these Ford Fusion but have yet to do a recall on them. It has fallen down on my little girls head and my own head while driving at a dangerous speed.

Vehicle was stationary foot on brakes in reverse. My sister touched the back of the car with her hand I heard a loud beeeeeeep then never heard any sound again. Not even when the keys are left in the ignition or when I'm unbuckled. Not a single sound. Then 3 months later the brakes were stalling so I got new rotors and pads and they still stall/ shake. As if that wasn't enough now it just doesn't start: I've googled all these problems and I'm not the only one. Ford should not be allowed to keep selling the same broken cars.

The problem began in February 2019 when the described car began to stall while in drive, reverse and/or park. Car shakes violently and then dies stating 'press brake to start'. after the car is put in park, turned off and back on, car resumes normal function. After first taking in the car, the turbocharger was found to be the culprit. After getting a very expensive repair done, the problem returned shortly after. Traveling across the country, the problem happened again. After returning home and having more work done, the problem continued to happen. When on city roads, in the driveway or parking lots, the stalling continued. In only nine months, the new spark plugs needed to be replaced and two engine coils had failed. Then after this work was completed, the problem continued but no engine light had come on. Then in December 2019 the car was taken to a Ford dealership in Kansas to be diagnosed. After claiming the transmission needed work or even worse possible replacement, I was faced with the question of whether or not to keep the car. After the car was finished at the dealership with no repair done other than a recall, the engine light came on and the problem became worse: More frequent and more intense shaking. After multiple calls made to the dealership to inquire about after market warranty coverage on the repair, the dealership has not called back.

My 2014 Ford Fusion SE has a recall on it for the brushing transmission cable. This has not been fixed and while I am driving my car throws itself into neutral and stops in the middle of the road. So far it has only happened while turning a corner. I am worried about wrecking my car. This recall came out on July 17th, 2018 and I bought my car September 21, 2018. So I never received the recall in the mail. I looked up recalls on my vehicle and found this. Even though it's been a while since I bought my car, am I still qualified for my car to get fixed with no charge to me?.

The car will pulsate and shake when driving, then the check engine light would come on. You can't accelerate, like there no accelerating in then the car cut off, which is danger. I have had this car for less then a year, I just payed close to 1,000 bucks getting it fix from having electrical problems that my warranty did not cover. I had to take to the shop for things that was or recalled., in now this. I think I was sell a lemon.

Drove a short distance to meet a friend. When I came out to go home my dash lights would not work, door chime and seat presets inoperative. Also determined on the way home that I had no turn signals, window controls, high beams or radio. Looked online to discover that Ford are susceptible to electrical issues. The low key battery warning had been on all day prior to this happening. This is very dangerous as it is winter here and we are expecting rain and snow.

Turn signals suddenly did not function/wipers also non -function - steering wheel button controls - non- function did some internet research and several had the same issue happen - several Ford techs resolved with cycling the high beams on the vehicles- I did the same and resolved the issue as well- this is a safety hazard and fellow Ford Fusion owners need to be alerted this can happen suddenly.
