2007 Ford Fusion Other Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the brake pedal had to be depressed with extra effort to stop the vehicle. The ABS, traction control, wrench, and oil lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic to be diagnosed. The dealer informed the contact that the brakes needed to be replaced. The ABS was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The approximate failure mileage was 162,000.

ON MY 2007 FORD FUSION WHICH I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2015, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION THE SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY IN POSITION AND WILL DROOP, CAUSING ROAD VISIBILITY ISSUES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD OR BLOCK THE SUN PROPERLY. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED.

THE IDLER PULLEY BOLT HAS BROKEN ON MY CAR FOUR TIMES. THE BOLT KEEPS BREAKING CAUSING THE IDLER PULLEY TO BE SIDEWAYS AND MAKING THE BELT SQUEAK (THAT'S HOW I KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED). THE BELT HAS NEVER CAME OFF BECAUSE I ALWAYS STOPPED WHEN I HEARD IT AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME IT HAD TO BE FIXED WAS 3/27/15 AT 134173 MILES. IT BROKE AGAIN ON 5/25/18 AT 157899 MILES. THEN ONCE AGAIN 9/28/18 AT 159283 MILES. IT WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 6/4/19 WITH 161231 MILES. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS SAME CONCERN. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT BROKE! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. THEY TOLD ME I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH Y'ALL.

SAFETY ISSUES AND RECALLS

DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, CAR SUDDENLY SHUDDERS, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED ONTO THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP AND DROVE AT REDUCED SPEED UNTIL ABLE TO STOP. SHUT OFF CAR, THEN TURNED IGNITION KEY TO CHECK DIAGNOSTICS. ALL GOOD? STARTED CAR, DROVE MAYBE 50 FT WHEN WRENCH AND EMISSIONS LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE. GOT OFF OF RAMP AND SHUT OFF CAR FOR 5 MIN. RESTARTED CAR, EMISSIONS LIGHT ON ONLY, BUT CAR WAS DRIVE-ABLE DROVE 20 MILES @ 60-65MPH WITH NO PROBLEM UNTIL I GOT HOME. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS -5F. NEXT MORNING CHECKED CAR WITH OBD2 DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. A 'P2110' CODE APPEARED, SIGNIFYING TAC/PCM ISSSUE/S. AFTER CHECKING EARLIER NHTSA RECORDS, THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES! MY WIFE USES THE SAME CAR, AND IF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME HAPPENED TO HER, MOST LIKELY THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL!!! IS SOMEONE DYING HAVE TO BE WHAT WILL GET A RECALL? PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THANK YOU.

IDLER PULLEY WHEN DRIVING THE IDLER PULLEY BROKE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN I END UP HITTING AN ISLAND BREAKING TO MY TIE RODS ON THE OUTER TIE RODS ON BOTH FRONTS THIS IS THE FIFTH IDLER PULLEY FORD MOTOR CREDIT CHARGE ME $500 TO FIX IT IT'S BEEN LESS THAN 200 MILES I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $165 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS RIDICULOUS

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A BAD THROTTLE BODY UNIT WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE", THIS IS HAPPENING 4-7 TIMES A DAY. I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNTIMELY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NHTSA HAD LISTED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I AM NOT INCLUDED. MY CAR DOES THIS WITH NO WARNING! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! I WAS JUST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. VERY DANGEROUS INDEED!

BRAKES SLOW TO STOP AFTER ABS HAD BEEN ENACTED ON BUMPY CITY STREET SURFACE (MOVING)

EITHER IN 2008 OR 2009, SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2007 FORD FUSION, I WAS GREETED WITH THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE OF MY BRAKES GOING OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING. FIND OUT THIS WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER. THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON WITHIN 3-4 YEARS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE, AND WAS FOUND TO BE RELATED TO THE THERMOSTAT, THE ENGINE WOULD ALWAYS RUN TOWARDS THE COOL END, NEVER GOING ABOVE 1/3 OF THE WAY TO THE HALFWAY MARK. THAT WAS FIXED AFTER YEARS OF FAILED ATTEMPT. AND ALL THE WHILE, I NEVER HAD A FUNCTIONING AIR CONDITION UNIT AND WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR YEARLY, AND THEN FOUND TO BE RELATED THE CAR ALWAYS RUNNING TOO COOL. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE GASKET TWICE, BECAUSE OIL WOULD APPEAR IN PLACES IT SHOULD NOT (I ALWAYS MAINTAIN MY CAR BY DOING THE OIL CHANGES, ETC ON TIME). THIS PAST SUNDAY, I WAS DRIVING AND GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE TO 65, THEN 60, THEN WOULD NOT GO PAST 40 SO I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE BACK HOME. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I SMELLED BURNT OIL, AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH OIL BEING WHERE IT SHOULD BE HAPPENED AGAIN. MECHANIC IS TELLING ME IT IS DONE, AND AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING UNIQUE TO JUST MY CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED MANY HORRIFYING STORES ON THE SAME ISSUE, WITH SOME PEOPLE'S FUSIONS COMBUSTING AND STALLING THEM ON THE HIGHWAY. I DID NOTIFY THE FORD COMPANY TODAY OF ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO MY CAR, JUST SO THEY HAVE IT DOCUMENTED ON THEIR END AS WELL. I AM APPALLED THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE RECALLS OTHER THAN THE ONE RELATED TO THE AIRBAGS, WHICH THEY CAN NOT FIX YET, POSING MY PASSENGER AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER AND THE BODY DAMAGES WERE REPAIRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE CAR IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. ALSO, THE JUNCTION BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT WORK AND STAYED ON AS A SOLID LIGHT VERSUS TURN SIGNAL CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DIE AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CREATED AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF AND THE KEYS WERE OUT, THE LIGHT STAYED ON. BOTH OF THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON BOTH ISSUES!

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND TRIED TO GET OUT BUT THE DOOR LATCH FAILED. THE PIECE THAT BROKE IS BEHIND THE DOOR TRIM. THE DOOR CAN'T BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH SEVERAL MODEL YEARS. I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 100,000 MILES AND THIS CAR IS FALLING APART. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING THESE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE FUSION. I PAID $23,000 FOR THIS CAR AND I HAVE BABIED IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. NOBODY SHOULD EVER BUY A FORD AND I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AND I'M CONSIDERING PARKING MY CAR OUTSIDE OF FORD DEALERSHIPS WITH A SIGN THAT READS "ASK ME ABOUT MY FORD PURCHASE BEFORE YOU BUY A FORD" MAYBE THAT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION.

THERE IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF WATER THAT LINES MY PASSANGER SIDE CARPET FLOOR, ANYTHING THAT IS ON THE FLOOR SOAKS THE WATER UP AND GETS WET AND THE CARPET IS ALWAYS DAMP WITH LIQUID, I'M TOLD IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING BUT IT HAPPENS WHEN I USE THE HEAT AS WELL.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS BULGING UP OUT OF THE DASH

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE HANDLE SNAPPED BACK AT ME. I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AGAIN AND NOW THE HANDLE IS BROKEN. I HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOW AND OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. ALSO, WITH THE DOOR BEING BROKEN MY CAR LOCKS HAVE A MIND OF THERE OWN. SOMETIMES THE LOCKS LOCK BY THEMSELVES AND SOMETIMES THE ALARM IS ACTIVATED BY ITSELF. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR THERE IS A FIRE, MY FIRST INSTINCTS IS TO OPEN MY DOOR AND GET OUT OF THE CAR. I CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT OPENING THE WINDOW AND PUTTING MY HAND OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I JUST HOPE I AM NOT PANICKING TO MUCH THAT I REMEMBER HOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I FEEL THIS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I USED GOOGLE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND FOUND NOTHING, ALL I FOUND IS THAT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WITH FORD FUSIONS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NO HELP THEN I CONTACTED THE FORD CORP. AND ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY INFO.

FROM 42,000 TO 45,000 MILES, OVER 3 MONTH PERIOD, CREAKING, SQUEAKING SUSPENSION SOUNDS AT LOW SPEED HAVE BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT IT IS INCREDIBLY LOUD, DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING. EXAMINATION BY MECHANICS YIELDS NO EXPLANATION. THIS SERIOUSLY AFFECTS THE RESALE VALUE. I WOULDN'T BUY IT, SOUNDING LIKE THIS, AND SO FAR UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE/HELP OFFERED.
