2007 Ford Fusion Lights Problems

THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL LIGHT UP WHEN THE PARKING LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT WILL NOT FLASH WITH THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT ALLOW HER SEE BEYOND TEN FEET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE INSIDE OF THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE INNER CASING TO STAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A RARE OCCURRENCE AND SHE SHOULD REMOVE THE LIGHT TO CLEAN ANY MOISTURE FROM THE CASING. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE AND CLEAN THE CASING BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 55,000.

THIS MORNING, WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 5 DEGREES, THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO WORK FOR A RIGHT TURN, THEN FOR A LEFT TURN. WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE IS NEAR OR BELOW ZERO, THE TURN SIGNALS FAIL TO WORK. IT IS SOMETIMES POSSIBLE TO GET THEM TO WORK BY PUSHING AND HOLDING THE LEVEL, BUT NOT EVEN THAT WORKS AT ABOUT -10 DEGREES OR COLDER. THE DEALER REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT, THEY JUST SAY, "CAN NOT DUPLICATE." THIS IS ABOUT THE FOURTH TIME THIS WINTER THAT I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THEM TO WORK. THE LACK OF A SIGNAL FOR A LANE CHANGE AND THE DISTRACTION OF TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 FORD FUSION USED, RECENTLY. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT, WHENEVER WE OPEN THE DOOR, THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT GOES ON, AS EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IT STAYS ON FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES (WHILE WE ARE DRIVING TOO). IT IS QUITE ANNOYING (AND ILLEGAL, I UNDERSTAND) TO BE DRIVING IN THE DARK WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON. WE HAVE TRIED TO OPEN THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT COVER, BUT CANNOT. SINCE THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS MAKE. *TR

2007 FORD FUSION LIGHT SWITCH ,WITH FOG LIGHT, SWITCH BEZEL CLIPS ARE BREAKING. THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY FELL OUT DUE TO HAVING WEAK MOUNTING CLIPS. THE NORMAL SWITCH THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE YOU TO PULL ON IT TO TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. I USE MY LIGHTS DAY AND NIGHT INCLUDING THE FOG LIGHTS DURING THE DAY FOR SAFETY. THIS COULD CAUSE WIRE BREAKS AND POSSIBLY AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IF A NEW BEZEL WITH STRONGER MOUNTING CLIPS AREN'T INSTALLED. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXCESSIVELY DIRECTIONAL AND FAIL TO LIGHT THE ROAD ON LOW BEAM. WHEN DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH HILLS AND CURVES, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT THE VALLEYS WHEN AT THE TOP OF THE HILLS AND DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD SUFFICIENTLY AROUND CORNERS. IF THE DRIVER SELECTS HIGH BEAM, THE DRIVERS OF ONCOMING VEHICLES ARE BLINDED, EVEN IF DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WITH A WIDE MEDIAN WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE POINTED ACROSS THE MEDIAN WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE. THE ONLY WAY TO SEE POTHOLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT IS BY TURNING ON THE FOG LIGHTS SINCE THE FRONT BUMPER CAUSES A SHADOW IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE STYLING OF THE HEADLIGHTS PREVENTS LIGHT FROM GETTING TO THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM, NOT A ONE DAY EVENT. *TR
