| 2011 | ENGINE | HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BUT HAD ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 1500 MILES. (MAR. 22, 2013 - 26,800 MILES) I WAS DRIVING ALONG A LANE ROAD DOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. WAS ABLE TO BARELY LIMP THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE MECHANICS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE RPMS BEGAN FLOATING BETWEEN 800 AND 1200 BUT WITH NO POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT REGAINED POWER BUT THEN IT HAPPENED ONE MILE LATER. SAME SYMPTOMS. RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND LASTED ANOTHER 2 MILES WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME I RESTARTED THE CAR IT TOOK ABOUT 20 SECS OF CRANKING BEFORE IT TURNED OVER. I THEN DROVE IT 15 MILES DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT WITHOUT INCIDENT. FORD RAN A DIAGNOSTIC SWEEP ON THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD HAVE TO BR BROUGHT IN WITH THE PROBLEM SHOWING SINCE THE BLACK BOX DOES NOT RECORD THESE TYPES OF ISSUES. I HAD THE IMPRESSION THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS TYPE OF ERROR OR COULD NOT RECALL IT. HAVE NOW DRIVEN THE CAR ADDITIONAL 40 MILES WITHOOUT INCIDENTS BUT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER IF THEY AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES. I THOUGHT THE RECESSION AND PAST DECADE TAUGHT THEM A LESSON IN DOING IT RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER/? *TR |
| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS DESCRIBING WITH MY 2006 FORD FUSION. I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS. I GET HOME FROM WORK & GO TO GET OUT OF THE CAR & THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. FROM READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE I FIGURED OUT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SHIFTER BUTTON. SOMETHING IS BREAKING ON/IN THE SHIFTER BUTTON & IT'S NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO THINK IT HAS BEEN PUT IN PARK, THUS NOT ALLOWING THE KEY TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO MESS WITH THE SILVER SHIFTER BUTTON & IF YOU CAN FIND IT'S HAPPY SPOT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FORD MADE THIS CAR WITH SUCH CRAPPY PLASTIC PARTS!! I'M STARTING TO WISH I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE SILVER IS PEELING OFF OF THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ALSO! THIS CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION & HAS NOT BEEN TREATED ROUGH, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S STARTING TO FALL APART. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE ISSUES WITH THE 2006 FORD FUSION'S!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AFTER THIS. *TR |
