2009 Ford Fusion Electrical Problems

Your brake pedal went soft and sank to the floor while driving without any warning light appearing on your dashboard. The dealer flushed your brake lines on the first visit, but the problem happened again. On a second visit, they diagnosed a failed HECU fuse (part of your anti-lock brake system), but the vehicle wasn't repaired. The underlying issue likely involves replacing the HECU fuse and possibly inspecting the brake system for air or fluid leaks.

CAR WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS ON AND EVENTUALLY STARTED LOSING POWER

HERKY JERKY ACCELERATION. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A SENSOR. 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID A SMALL OIL LEAK BURNED THROUGH SOME WIRES. STATED SOME SORT OF ISSUE WITH A WIRING HARNESS. STATED WIRING HARNESS NEEDED REPLACED, BUT WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE. BRAKES CONSTANTLY NEED REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS. MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR.

JUST NOW LEARNED OF RECALL ON AIRBAG. MY CAR HAS BEEN LOCKING ME IN IT. TGE ELECTRICAL PARTS FOR THE LOCKS AND WINDOWS IS ACTING UP. I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN MY CAR 2 TIMES. I AM WORRIED IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT I WILL BE TRAPPED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS ON OR OFF.

TAKATA RECALL !!!!!!! THE DISPLAY PANEL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF AT WILL. MOSTLY WHEN ITS HUMID OUTSIDE OR RAINING. THIS IS INCLUDING THE SCARY AIRBAG LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT. I AM STUCK WITH THE CAR SINCE FORD STATED NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HAS NO VALUE. AND I PRAY EVERY DAY IT DOES NOT KILL ME!

THE ERROR CODE FOR MY CAR INDICATED THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP AND THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE PART. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THE PART PUT ON, I WAS ADVISED I NOT ONLY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP, BUT THE AIR VALVE AS WELL. SINCE I WAS LAST THERE OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. AND THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING BECAUSE WATER WAS SOME HOW GETTING INTO THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP AND WORKING ITS WAY UP TO THE AIR VALVE. THEREFORE, THEY BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST $700 PLUS FIX. MY CONCERN IS HOW IS THE WATER GETTING INTO THE PUMP IN THE FIRST PLACE (IS THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT?). AND IF IT IS, WHAT IS GOING TO KEEP WATER FROM GETTING INTO THE PUMP IN THE FUTURE? *TR

SERVICE CENTER RAN VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS CHECK AND REPORTED P2112 ERROR INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THROTTLE BODY. FORD DEALER SHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH ISN'T CHEAP. FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLES ARE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
