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

IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR, THE SHEET METAL THAT IS ON THE TOP OF THE TRUNK, IT HAS VERY SHARP EDGES.. WHILE LOADING TRUNK, MY HAND/FINGER WAS CUT ON THE SHARP EDGE. CONTACT LOCAL FORD DEALER, THE BODY SHOP THERE AGREED THAT IT WAS SHARP AND IT WAS PROBABLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID THAT FORD WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO PUT IN THE RAZOR SHARP HOLES. I DID SEND IN A COMPLAINT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR DYING WHILE ACCELERATING FROM STOPS. TOOK TO LOCAL FORD DEALER, NOTHING WRONG. TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC AFTER IT DIED ON ME AND THEY SAID SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING FOR THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE HAS DIED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES WHILE AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS, WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF, IT ACTS LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING GAS. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT SAY THERE IS NO PROGRAM UPDATES FOR THROTTLE BOTTLE. KEVIN AT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT WHAT I FOUND ONLINE WITH THROTTLE BODY ISSUES WAS NOT TRUE, UNLESS I FOUND IT ON FORD.COM. THIS ALL STARTED ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18TH.

I TOOK MY 2013 FORD FUSION (THEN STILL UNDER WARRANTY) TO THE DEALER IN SEPTEMBER 2014 BECAUSE MY WIPERS WERE SOMETIMES BOUNCING/ VIBRATING (AT TIMES VIOLENTLY) WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, AND WOULD HESITATE INTERMITTENTLY AS THEY MOVED ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DISMISSED IT. THEY CLAIMED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. I VIDEOTAPED THE PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER I PICKED-UP THE CAR AND SHARED THE YOUTUBE LINK WITH THE DEALER. VIDEO LINK: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/EJR8DM_FZ2C I LIVED WITH IT UNTIL A YEAR LATER (NOVEMBER, 2015) WHEN THE WIPERS CEASED WORKING IN HEAVY RAIN AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I LOST VISIBILITY IMMEDIATELY. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WHEN THE RAIN SLOWED, I MADE MY WAY TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND REMINDED THEM OF THE PROBLEM A YEAR EARLIER. THEY DIAGNOSED A WIPER MOTOR FAILURE AND--IN SPITE OF MY EARLIER VISIT UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE WIPER PROBLEM--DECLINED TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAID FOR THE REPAIR AS THE CAR WAS NOW NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE REPAIR, THUS I WAS AT THE MERCY OF THE DEALER FOR A $533 BILL, WHICH I PAID. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF THE WIPERS ON THE HIGHWAY WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THE DEALER SERVICED THE VEHICLE WHEN I BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO THEIR ATTENTION IN 2014. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE DEALER FAILED TO MAKE THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE COST. THE FAILURE OF THE WIPER MOTORS WAS GRADUAL AND PROVIDED AMPLE WARNING FOR THE DEALER, BUT THEY FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IN A TIMELY WAY. IN THE FUTURE, PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE VIBRATION AND HESITATION THAT TELEGRAPH POTENTIAL WIPER FAILURE SHOULD BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY WHEN BROUGHT TO A DEALER'S ATTENTION.

I HAVE NOTED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) MALFUNCTION AFFECTING FORD FUSION 2009-2013 MODELS WITH 2.5/3.0L ENGINES AND THE RELATED NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE 13-003, ALONG WITH FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THE POWER LOSS ISSUE DESCRIBED IN ANOTHER 2013 FORD FUSION OWNER'S EXPERIENCE (NHTSA COMPLAINT ID #10810590. BOTH SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE PROBLEM I AM NOW HAVING WITH MY 2013 FORD FUSION SE, WHICH IS THE ECOBOOST MODEL WITH THE 1.6L TURBO CHARGED ENGINE. AFTER GETTING AN OBD WARNING ALONG WITH ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION AND LOWER-THAN-EXPECTED FUEL EFFICIENCY, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND NOTED THAT THE OIL MINDER WOULD NOT RESET. THAT REPAIR WAS PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY DURING THANKSGIVING WEEKEND 2015. SOON AFTER, ON DECEMBER 6TH, THE CAR EXPERIENCED POWER LOSS ON TWO OCCASIONS UPON LEAVING PARKING LOTS; IN OTHER WORDS, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED WITHIN A MINUTE OF DRIVING AWAY FROM THE PARKING SPACE. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED (RAN ROUGHLY) THEN LOST POWER, WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN A FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, WITH THAT OCCURRENCE ALSO TAKING PLACE UPON LEAVING A PARKING LOT. FURTHERMORE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DEC. 29TH AND ON JANUARY 2, 2016, WITH THE LATTER TIME OCCURRING IMMEDIATELY TURNING ONTO NOLENSVILLE ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT. WITH ALL OF THOSE INSTANCES HAPPENING IN NASHVILLE, TN, COLD WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT AT A FACTOR AS THE CAR'S MOST RECENT FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE ENGINE STILL WARM. SINCE THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AFTER THE AFOREMENTIONED CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACEMENT, I AM GOING TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REVISIT THAT WORK AND DETERMINE THE REASON WHY I AM NOT SEEING A WARNING LIGHT WHEN THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION OCCURS. I WILL ALSO HAVE THE CAR EVALUATED FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED ETB PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN A COMMERCIAL ARE THE WHEEL STOPPED STEERING. I COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT AND GOT STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION. A POLICE OFFICER CAME AND SAT WITH ME WHILE WE WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS LOOKED AT WHEN THEY OPENED AFTER THE WEEKEND. THEY PUT IN A REQUEST TO FORD TO ALLOW THE PIECE TO BE REPLACED UNDER CURRENT RECALLS RELATED TO THE STEERING.APPARENTLY THE RACK AND PINION CAN JUST BREAK AFTER TWO YEARS OF DRIVING. SINCE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE WAS UP THEY SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID FOR BY THE CUSTOMER. A CAR SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO FALL APART AFTER 59,000 MILES IF IT IS KEPT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IF I HAD BEEN INJURED OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS BEEN, THIS WOULD BE A VERY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. THE PIECES THEY NEED TO REPLACE AND INCLUDING THE LABOR ROUND UP TO $2,000. *JS

I PARKED MY 2013 FORD FUSION WITH 52,000 MILES ON IT FOR 3 DAYS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I STARTED IT A MESSAGE SAYING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON AND THERE ISN'T ANY POWER STEERING. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT IT BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TECH'S TIME, I THEN LOOKED ON THE WEB AND IT SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR OVER 445K FORD CARS, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF IT BECAUSE OF WHERE THE CAR WAS MADE. SO I AM CONFUSED, 1 PART OF THE CAR IS RECALLED IF IT WAS PUT IN ONE PLANT, BUT THE SAME PART PUT IN ANOTHER PLANT ISN'T. THEY WERE ALL MADE IN ONE PLANT, SO WHY DOES IT MATTER WHERE IT WAS INSTALLED. THE PART IS DEFECTED, IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS HAPPENED, AND HAD AN ACCIDENT, WOULD IT BE MY FAULT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS MADE IN A SAFE FACTORY WHERE THE PART IS NOT BEING RECALLED? SAME PART, SAME PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T THIS BEING RECALLED WITH THE OTHERS.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AND OUT OF NOWHERE, I RECEIVED A "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" MESSAGE DISPLAY ACROSS THE DECK AND I COULDN'T STEER. IT TOOK IMMENSE EFFORT TO TURN; AND FORTUNATELY FOR US, IT OCCURRED REALLY CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE BUT ON A MAJOR CITY STREET ON THE WAY HOME. I READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE TONS OF INCIDENTS WITH THEIR FORD VEHICLE. I READ AN ARTICLE ONLINE THAT FORD RECALLED OVER 450K VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP MY VIN ON SAFERCAR.GOV AND THE FORD WEBSITE; THERE ISN'T A RECALL ISSUED FOR IT. THERE SEEM TO BE DRIVERS OUT THERE WHO WERE BOTH MORE OR LESS FORTUNATE THAN I WAS. I WANTED TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO SEE IF I CAN GET THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED.

RETURNED HOME FROM AN HOUR TRIP AND PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED OFF THE CAR, WENT INSIDE, CAME OUT 30 MINS LATER, ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AND DEAD SILENCE. RADIO AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE STILL WORKING. CHECKED THE ODB WITH AN ODB READER AND NO CODES. CALLED AAA WHO CAME OUT AND TESTED THE BATTERY AND FOUND IT FULLY CHARGED AND WORKING. THEY THEN CHECKED SEVERAL FUSES AND ALL WORKED FINE. AS A LAST RESORT, HE COMPLETELY PULLED AND DISINFECTED THE BATTERY, WAITED 2-3 MINUTES RECONNECTED IT, WAITED ANOTHER 2-3 MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR STARTED. HE FELT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE UNIT-THEFT SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR PREVENTING THE KEY TO TURN. CALLED FORD AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND A NUMBER OF ISSUES RELATING TO FORD VEHICLES, NEWER, AS IN 2010 AND NEWER THAT ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE AND/OR A GROUND ISSUE DUE TO PAINTING ON THE GROUND AREA. CONCERN IS, THIS TIME IT SHUT DOWN IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT SHUTDOWN WHILE BEING DRIVEN?

SUDDEN POWER LOSS, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2013 FUSION CHANGING FREEWAYS AND THE CAR LOST POWER, SLOWED TO A CRAWL, NO ACCELERATION. VERY DANGEROUS. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, MY WIFE TOLD THEM THEY BETTER FIND THE PROBLEM, SHE WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT. THEY KEPT IT A LITTLE LONGER SAID THEY CHANGED OUT SOME MODULE BUT INSISTED NOTHING WAS SHOWING BAD. SO SHE PICKED IT UP AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER SHE WAS GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND HER WAZE APP TOLD HER TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT UP AHEAD, SO AS SHE IS GETTING OFF THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, SUDDEN POWER LOSS. THIS TIME SHE WAS OFF CRENSHAW IN LA, NOT A GOOD PART OF CALI. SHE WAS MORE FRIGHTENED THAT TIME. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER. SAME THING THEY SAID THEY DROVE THE CAR 312 MILES AND NO ISSUE. I TOLD THEM I AM NOT PICKING UP THE CAR. I CALLED FORD THEY OPENED A CASE WHICH REALLY MEANS NOTHING. NO ONE THIS WHOLE TIME HAS MENTIONED THE THOUSANDS OF OWNERSR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SO NOW I HAVE LEFT THE SERVICE MGR A MSG THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ETB AND I WANT IT REPLACED. WE WILL SEE IF THEY COVER IT. SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS A FIX ORDER AND THE WARRANTY IS 10 YEARS AND 130K ON THE THROTTLE BODY. WE SHALL SEE. THIS PROBLEM WILL KILL SOMEONE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. IMAGINE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND A SEMI IS COMING, AND YOUR CAR DIES.

THE MECHANISM THAT CANCELS THE TURN SIGNAL AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN IS MALFUNCTIONING. INTERMITTENTLY THE TURN SIGNAL WILL CANCEL PREMATURELY, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO TURN INTO THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WHICH THINKS THE DRIVER IS NOT TUNING, BECAUSE THE TURN SIGNAL IS NOT FLASHING. THE CONDITION SOMETIMES APPEARS AFTER APPLYING ONLY VERY SLIGHT INPUT TO THE STEERING WHEEL, OR APPLYING NO INPUT AT ALL, WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL FOR INSTANCE.
