My car was apart of the headlight recall in 2013. After the fix the driver headlight was never the same. Recently that driver headlight went out when driving at night. To change a headlight it costs $30 per bulb and then a couple of hours of time to remove/replace the bumper at $160 an hour. In my case, it wasn't the bulb but the body module control which handles all the lighting in my car. The headlight is supposed…

Headlights going out so often! You need to remove the bumper in order to access switching these bulbs. This is costly in labor and ford oem parts. When one headlight goes out it triggers them all to go out. Very dangerous if on a road trip or driving at night. Was sold a vehicle with my headlight pigtail plugs corroded. Estimate is $680 from ford to fix my issue! $360 for just a headlight switch. There is a recall…

Passenger headlight going out constantly. Need to take bumper off to replace the headlights, not a cheap or easy fix. I have come out of pocket to replace the set already costing me $136.50, 1 month later same headlight has gone out. Ford is quoting me over $200.00 for parts and labor and $99 just to look at it. My vehicle was manufactured in sep. 23 2013. My headlights should have had a 6 year warranty and my new…

November 2016 while i was coming from the grocery store my car suddenly stalled and completely stopped. I immediately started the car back up and drove for a good 2 minutes and it did the same thing, but this time i was in the street. After letting my vehicle sit for 15 minutes it did eventually start back up and drove smoothly. But that wasn't the last time my car would just suddenly stop. In december i took my car…

The mechanism that cancels the turn signal after completing the turn is malfunctioning. Intermittently the turn signal will cancel prematurely, potentially causing the driver to turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle which thinks the driver is not tuning, because the turn signal is not flashing. The condition sometimes appears after applying only very slight input to the steering wheel, or applying no input at…

Pulling into a parking lot and the display flashed warning and dinged, power steering failure. Shut car off, warning gone, taking it to dealership tomorrow. Also to note ever since buying the fusion the turn signals will randomly shut off before completion of turn, sometimes even before turn, every time the turn signal was activated all the way not just the first stage. *tr

I was driving on the blue ridge parkway on a sunny day. My headlights were set at "auto." this selection automatically turns my headlights from daylight running lights to full headlights based on the amount of light outside. I entered one of the many tunnels on the parkway and my lights did not come one. It was a short tunnel, so i thought perhaps the sensor didn't "think it was dark enough." however, for each…

The left and right turn signals have malfunctioned, i.e., they either do not stay on longer than one flash cycle, or they shut off prematurely. The function is not being confused with the [redacted] change feature this feature works 100% of the time. Premature shutting off of the turn signal typically (but not always) occurs when making a turn from a full stop. When the signal is actuated, it flashes for 10 30…

Whether moving or stationary, the vehicle turn signal will intermittently turn off after 1 or 2 blinks before the steering wheel is moved. This seems to be a random but dangerous problem in traffic. Dealer claims not to be able to replicate this problem but the manufacturer has modified the turn signal mechanism in later model years
