    My husband was driving his ford fusion into the driveway of our home when the passenger car side door opened. Since then passenger side door will not close properly. I researched this a bit and found that there have been a large amount of recalls on the doors becoming unlatched while driving for this 2013 ford fusion but when i spoke with the ford dealership they said that my vehicle was not covered under the recall.

    On local road, vehichle hesitates when i step on the gas. When i get to a stop light it shudders then stalls. This occurs frequently for the past two weeks as of this entry date.my vehicle has under 53k miles and the dealer says the part and fix is not under warranty. Its called a lo pressure gas sensor i believe. If its attached to the gas tank then how could it not be under warranty with under 60k miles standard…

    After driving 10-25 miles and stopping for a short break to grocery shop or visit family. Starting the car up again and backing/pulling out of parking spot or drive way - it stalls. Power stays on, but engine fluctuates rpm in a lunging fashion before puttering out. This can happen multiple times a day or every couple of days it's very random. I have talked to another ford fusion owner and they have had very similar…

    Shifter cable went bad at 78000 miles. The car would not go down in gear. Every time you go back it would stay in that gear and never go back to park. It got stuck in the sport gear and never able to go to neutral, drive nor park. The dealership said that the cable from the shifter to the transmission was bad. This part cost $512 to fix at the dealership.

    This car (2013 ford fusion ecoboost) is approx 3 years old with only 59k miles. At slow speeds such as pulling out of a parking lot or coasting to a slow speed at a light or stop sign the engine just dies like it ran out of gas. You have to pull over and stop the car. You then have to restart the car. After a few seconds it starts just fine. It's random but becoming more frequent. It's a safety concern and dangerous…

    There is currently a recall for the 2013 fusion vehicles built at hermosillo assembly plant for all 4 door latches. Ford claims my fusion does not fall under the recall.

    The latch on the passenger front door failed and no longer functions, just as described in relevant recall. However, although my model year is part of recall, for some unknown reason my vin is excluded. Ford must fix this problem before it happens to the other doors.

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,…

    Dealer service manager states the air conditioning compressor suffered a "catastrophic failure" of its internal parts. As a result, the vehicle shut down while it was being driven. Dealer states the entire ac system has to be replaced at a cost of $2500.00. The pcm may also be affected but that cannot be determined until the vehicle is in a state where it can be started, which won't be achieved until after the…
