What 1,774 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi

TODAY I VISITED MY LOCAL TIRE STORE TO HAVE MY TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED AND I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT MY LUG NUTS ARE SWELLING AND DELAMINATING WHICH COULD RESULT IN ME BEING STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS WITH THE PROVIDED WRENCH FOR FLAT TIRES. I'M CONSIDERED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHEN AN EVENT LIKE SUCH MAY OCCUR.

I USUALLY DRIVE LOCAL ROADS (MAX SPEED 45). THIS MORNING, WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 84, I FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE NEW TIRES I HAD PURCHASED 2 WEEKS AGO. WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE TECH TIGHTENED THE BOLT THAT ATTACHED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE COLUMN. $95.39! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO WHEN ONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS TIGHTENED THE SAME BOLT. (MIKE FEDORSIN) HE DIDN'T CHARGE ME THAT TIME AND THERE WAS NO BILL (STILL UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY).

RECALL #17V-209 ISSUED IN APRIL 2017 AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CONSIDERING THAT THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE, I FIND THIS EXTREMELY TROUBLING AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF FORD MOTOR IN NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS IN A PROMPT TIME FRAME.

REAR CENTER PASSENGER SEAT STOPS WORKING AND LOCKS UP IN THE FOLDED-DOWN SEAT POSITION MAKING THE TWO PASSENGER-SIDE SEATS UNUSABLE OR USABLE BY DISENGAGING THE SEAT BELT COMPLETELY. THIS REPEATABLE DEFECT OCCURS WHEN THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR SEAT IS FOLDED DOWN. THIS CAUSES THE SEATBELT TO LOCK-UP AND THEREFORE IMPEDES RETURNING THE SEAT TO THE NORMAL RAISED POSITION. THE USER EITHER LOOSES THE AVAILABILITY TO USE THE SEAT OR USE IT IN A MATTER THAT IT WAS NOT INTENDED WHILE SEATING A PASSENGER WITH NO RESTRAINING DEVICE AS THE RESTRAINING DEVICE IS STUCK HOLDING THE BACKREST DOWN. IT SHOULD BE OF ADDITIONAL CONCERN THAT THIS DEFECT MAY BE AN INDICATION OF GREATER DANGERS IF IT IS AN INDICATION OF A GENERAL FAILURE OF THE RESTRAINING SYSTEM THAT MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY UPON A COLLISION.

TRANSMISSION HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE 16,000 MILES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. HAD IT IN MANY TIMES FOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS. WOULD SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER TO PASSING LANE AND SPEED UP AND IT WOULD JERK. PARK TO DRIVE AND PARK TO REVERSE WOULD ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. 3 DEALERS LATER THEY FINALLY FOUND SOLENOIDS AND ANOTHER PART WAS BAD (ABOUT 90,000 MILES) FOR SOMEONE TO FINALLY FIND THE PROBLEM. HAD IT BACK IN 3 MONTHS LATER TO HAVE THE SAME PARTS REPLACED AGAIN AS THEY WENT OUT. JUST TOOK IT IN NOV. 2017 A YEAR LATER AND AM BEING TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS BETTER OFF BEING REPLACED. I COMPLAINED EVERY 5,000 MILES AT OIL CHANGES TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UNDER WARRANTY. I'M NOW STUCK WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO $3,000 ESTIMATE FOR WHAT IS WRONG THAT THEY KNOW OF BEFORE OPENING THE TRANSMISSION UP WHICH COULD RESULT IN MORE $$ OR PAY $5,000 FOR A REMANUFACTURED ONE.

JUST HAD THE WATER PUMP REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME NOW. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOOSING COOLANT SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BLOCK HEATER JUST ABOUT AS MANY TIMES ALSO. THEY NEVER REALLY SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ITS COMING FROM AND I'M QUITE CONCERNED THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO ACTUALLY HAVE IT FIGURED OUT. FIRST PROBLEM WAS AT 20,000 MILES, 50,000 MILES, 80,000 MILES AND 131,000 MILES. THERE IS A RECALL FOR COOLANT LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST AND STARTING A FIRE BUT I'M STILL BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THAT ISSUE YET. I WAS NOTIFIED BACK IN MARCH OF 2017 ABOUT THAT ISSUE.

CAR WILL SPORADICALLY GO INTO LIMP HOME MODE WHILE DRIVING. NEVER SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WHILE PARKED OR NOT MOVING. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET IT SIT FOR A GOOD 15 TO 20 MINUTES. I CAN THEN START IT BACK UP AND IT RUNS LIKE THERE IS NO PROBLEM. MECHANIC CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARS AND NO ERROR CODE IS GIVEN. HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND REGULAR CITY STREETS. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A YEAR BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION NHTSA PRELIMINARY EVALUATION #PE13003

NHTSA ODI 11045895

MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH 35,200 MILES ON IT. MY CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN STOPPED WORKING. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE CAR I NO LONGER CAN OPERATE THE SYNC INTERFACE, SOUND, NAVIGATION, PHONE INTERFACE AND LIMITED CONTROL OF HEATING AND COOLING IN THE CABIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS IS A FAILED APIM. INTERESTINGLY FORD HAS GIVEN EXTENDED WARRANTY STATUS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE WITH 2013 FORD FUSIONS BUT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN. IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO ONE HAS EXTENDED THE COVERAGE TO MY VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS OMISSION?

ON WAY TO WORK I ON THE MORNING OF 10-12-17 GOING ABOUT 75MPH ON INTERSTATE AND ALL THE SUDDEN THERE WAS A DING AND FLASH OF RED (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) ON THE DASHBOARD STATING ENGINE OVERHEATING AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND CAR BASICALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I LOST ALL POWER, RADIO, LIGHTS ETC. WITH THE MOMENTUM I HAD BUILT UP GOING 75 I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ACROSS THE 4 LANES TO THE SHOULDER. AN OHIO STATE TROOPER STOPPED TO ASSIST AND WAS DUMB FOUNDED WHEN HE SAY THERE WAS NO POWER, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH JAY AND ADVISED THAT CAR WAS BEING TOWED IN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT FORD IS STATING THAT IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE TO STOP FIRE FROM HAPPENING, BUT HONESTLY HOW SAFE IS TO HAVE THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON INTERSTATE. IT WAS A MATTER OF SECONDS BETWEEN DING, LIGHT AND LOSS OF POWER. CAR WAS TOWED IN USING MY AAA MEMBERSHIP ON A FLATBED TO LIBERTY FORD IN BRUNSWICK, OHIO. I WAS ADVISED LATER THAT DAY THAT IT WAS THE WATER PUMP AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR THAT WAS RECALLED. I HAD TO USE PTO FOR WORK ON THURSDAY AND CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP ON 10-13-17 AROUND LUNCH TIME. ON 10-13-17 I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY TO GET TO DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY CLOSED AT 6PM OTHERWISE I WOULD BE CHARGED $50.00 FOR THE LOANER IF RETURNED ON SATURDAY MORNING. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND IT COST ME @$107.00 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE SINCE THEY ARE STATING IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND THAT IT WAS THE WATER PUMP. ON THE AFTERNOON OF 10-14-17 (@ 12:30-12:45PM) DRIVING IN MEDINA AREA ON WAY TO EVENT WITH NIECE IN THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SEE ATTACHED FOR FULL COMPLAINT AND DOCS
