I receive this message sporadically. It disables the heat and air to my vehicle, also the passenger side front and rear window locks. When it's cold the heat does not work and when it's hot the air does not work. Also, when it rains or if it's a muggy day the windows fog up and I'm unable to defrost them. This is a major hazard. Can you please assist?! "Temporarily lost communication with the Climate System"

The Climate Control Computer fails to stay on recirculation mode when heating causing driver to press every 15 minutes while driving putting driver and other drivers at risk because of having to look off road while pressing. Ultimate Ford dealership has inspected and attempted to repair the problem but did not during the warranty period. The dealership has barred me from having service completed in the local area within a one-hour drive from my home from merely the fact that they could not repair the problem. Now, several recalls which are not safe on my car cannot be repaired because of their immature behavior. There was no warning about this problem beforehand. No receipts but letter to Ford attached.

My 2014 Ford fusion completely lost power and wouldn't even start or turn on novemeber13, 2022. The car was towed to a dealership, and I was told that the coolant was going inside of the engine and causing corrasion. We contacted the warranty company and was told that this was a manufacture's default and that they wouldn't fix/ replace my engine because my whole engine needed to be replaced. I contacted ford and they said there was no recalls on my car and in 2017 I saw on cars.com that the engine/ coolant system for ford fusions from 2014-2017 were recalled but Ford said there was no such recall and that their recalls have an S in them and not a v.

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.

The fuel door hinge is broken. The fuel door will come open while driving the vehicle. The door is loose and after researching this, it is a common problem for everyone with a 2014 ford fusion.

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 steering wheel catches when turning right and left. It is physically hard to straighten the wheel back out. Upon searching, there are recalls for the steering mechanisms in ford fusions, however my specific vehicle does not come up. I do believe that my vehicle is part of this issue.

Today, I was told by mechanic that all the lug nuts had to be replaced when they attempted to rotate the tires because the lug nuts were swollen. This is costing me $164 in parts and $74.99 in labor.

Had issues with Ford Fusion not shifting into a higher gear. Car would Rev up to over 4RPM and still wouldn-€™t shift up. (Automatic) Could-€™ve caused a crash had it happened driving on a highway. Took car to the mechanic and I just found out from the mechanic that it needs a new transmission! My car is mainly used for commuting and has about 150000 miles on it. I have looked up issues with this vehicle and this is a known issue! HELP! FORD should be recalling the bad transmission and fixing the problem!

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.

[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.

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 didn-€™t 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 that-€™s 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?
