I purchased my Ford while it was still under the warranty. I took it to a dealer because I was losing power while driving in a certain gear at a certain RPM after the engine was running for about 30 minutes. I was told it was a wiring issue which I had the dealer fix. By this time I was close to the warranty being up. It didnt fix the issue. The vehicle loses power intermittently or stutters. I get P0352 codes. I have been dealing with it because it is intermittent but recently the wiring harness melted on an ignition coil. I have replaced the ignition coils, the pig tail, the spark plugs, changed transmission fluid, rechecked all the cables, and once the dealer reprogrammed the PCM. It has to be the transmission but because it is intermittent the dealer cant find anything wrong. I actually lost power once at low speeds after the transmission slipped and dinged a poll causing a dent in my car. Thankfully I only lost power once on the high way and no one hit me. Since I am out of warranty I am forced to find the cause and fix it myself. I do not have 4 grand for a new transmission install. My research shows that Ford has three issues with my year. 1. ignition coils over heating due to bad pcms or programming 2. transmission bubbles or tears forming in the rings 3. cable controls on the transmissions. I am out of options and dont know what to do so I figure I would warn off others. Dont by a Ford with the 6F35 transmission unless it is a later year. I hear the 2019 has it fixed and I wish I could have one of those but the best I can do is warn others. I am stuck. 2 years of my life wasted.

While driving on a California freeway, a foul sulfur smell filled up the cabin with my family inside. Less than 12 hours later, the car battery was dead and there was leaked fluid all over the battery. The Ford motorcraft battery has a 7/16 sticker, and we are in 9/18. There was no corrosion to the terminals. The smell that was released was hydrogen sulfide, very toxic and deadly. It is also flammable. Because of the failed battery, we could not open the doors except for the driver side, which we opened from the outside using the hidden key inside the fob. The other doors and windows are still non-operational due to a dead battery. This leads me to my main concern. If the battery had caught on fire due to the leaking acid, my family would have been trapped inside the car because the power doors and windows would be non-operational. The only possible escape would be through the emergency trunk release however I am not sure of it's functionality without power.

The climate control system shuts off and stays off for long periods of time, meaning there is no functioning air conditioning in vehicle. It's been off for almost a week now for me. It's off when it's stationary or in motion. The problem isn't with the air conditioner itself as it'll sometime come on and remain on for a long duration. The volume knob also becomes inoperable. Some drivers of this vehicle weren't able to operate their windows as well when the climate system shut off so I believe it's faulty wiring somewhere. We already know why this is dangerous. We can die of heat exhaustion especially since I'm experiencing 100 degree weather right now. Secondly, when it rains, the interior fogs up making it nearly impossible to drive. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealership for this very issue and the problem has not been fixed. Here is a video on youtube showing what this looks like.

Car has limited power and acceleration. Hesitates when accelerating. When climbing a hill, transmission wont downshift properly. When maneuvering "S" curves you can feel resistance in the steering. There is a wrench light for the restraint system that cant be located.

- Blackhawk, SD, USA

I have lost ability to accelerate while driving on highway and vehicle would not go above 40 mph on I-20, a 70mph road system, car jolts or jumps even without foot on accelerator so that I have no control over the car's acceleration. Gas gauge jumps wildly and randomly from 22 mpg to 99 mpg. Brake lights and other lighting systems remain on when car is completely shut down and headlights and interior lights are turned to off position. Additionally, after the car is in park and turned off, vehicle will jump forward several inches. Several additional inconsistent light issues when car is turned on and off. Passenger seatbelt does not work. Problems began 2018 and continue to present day. Local Ford dealership unconcerned and unhelpful in prioritizing the repairs after multiple calls and direct discussion with service manager.

Car randomly loses complete power. This has happened mostly when starting for first time (when off for awhile) but has also happened at stop sign/light and even while in motion at high speed. There is a clicking noise when this happens (relay chatter). Subsequent restart will yield same results until finally becomes stable and I am able to drive. Only seems to happen during warmer summer months.

While the vehicle was in motion the fan speed on the climate control system without manipulation decreased to a fan speed of one while on a city street.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. While the contact's daughter was driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized. The contact's daughter had to use excessive strength to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle was turned off and would not restart and "power assist fault" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed by the contact's father and taken to tyler Ford (2626 S sw loop 323, tyler, tx 75701, (800) 788-7876). The vehicle was currently being diagnosed and may be repaired if the failure was under warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Everytime I put my car in gear, either reverse or drive, the gas tank door will open up. The gas tank button doesn't work and neither does the ev button for pure electric drive. The only way to open the gas tank door is to put the car in gear.

In the summer of last year 2018 I was in a store shopping came out cranked my car, the air would not come on and the windows would not roll down. It was in the 90's that day and even hotter inside my car! the vehicle was stationary at the time in the parking lot. It had this problem the rest of the summer while the temperatures outside was hot. It is April 2019 and just a few days ago we had a warm day around 75 degrees. I left for work stopped at the end of my driveway had the car in park and left my door open while I got the mail. Got back in and again did not have air and could not roll the windows down. Every time this happens the radio will not work either. Last year during the time the air and windows were not working my battery was dead when I was going to go to work one morning. Took it out and went and had it tested at local auto parts store. They said they had never seen a battery that they couldn't read like that before. It's like the battery was fried. Along with those problems last year my car was stationary at home in my driveway and I went to get in my car and my doors were locked I tried the remote and the keyless entry and nothing would unlock my doors. So I had no access to get into my car. A few days later I tried again and it unlocked. I've also came home a couple times at night in the past week and noticed the inside lights where the air/heat & radio controls are is flashing on and off and the outside ground lights under the mirrors on the driver and passenger door are on. I had to unhook battery. No keys in ignition and car is stationary in my driveway. I think this is a major safety issue when you have no air and you can't roll down your windows in hot weather and also when you get locked out of your car. The car is definitely not drivable in hot weather! unknown cause, may possibly be something in the computer or wiring of the car.

Car accelerates and decelerates sometimes sputters bad when in reverse. Wrench icon comes on. Ford replaced the wire harness and pigtail for an expensive cost to me but now its doing the same thing again. All this happens while driving down city streets.

I currently have a safety recall for a failed thermistor on my charging cable for my 2014 Ford Fusion energi plugin hybrid. Safety recall states that there is a chance of fire when plugging in the car to my home outlet using the charging cable that comes with the vehicle. My Ford dealership is aware and I have reached out multiple times about a replacement but there are none in stock. So at this time I do not feel it is safe to charge my vehicle until a new charging cable that meets the safety requirements with new thermistor is provided.
