    Loud noise from passenger side of engine compartment came out of nowhere when we started the car on thanksgiving day. We took the car to our local mechanic which is 2 miles from our home. He diagnosed the problem immediately as a bad water pump but was confused as to why the water pump would go bad at only 77k miles. When he went to order the part he found out that the existing water pump had been discontinued and…

    Air conditioning clutch broke off the compressor. Since the car is only 4 years old, i don't think it should have happened. Has this happened to other cars that are less than 5 years old? The system worked one day and not the next. Only record i have is the bill that i paid to have it fixed.

    My fusion a/c clutch bolt came out and the clutch wheel came off. I was driving at the time and it all bounced under my car. The a/c does not work now. This should be a recall issue because it should never have come loose to fall off.

    Vacuum pump failed without any warning. This caused loss of power brakes. Nearly crashed at intersection as i was forced to go through a red light because of the loss of brakes. Upon disassembly of vacuum pump i found that the driver for the vacuum pump was broken off in the camshaft and the pump was seized. This is a major safety issue i believe that if my wife or daughter had been driving we would have surely…

    So i have a 2014 fusion, bought pre-owned currently with about 16,000 miles. I recently noticed that my car when accelerating pauses to accelerate. This is especially noticeable trying to go from 0-60 as fast as possible. Also after slowing down and hitting the gas pedal it almost feels like no power is being applied to the engine momentarily. I was stationary, then in motion below 10mph crossing an intersection on…

    My 2014 fusion is periodically overheating. After taking it to 2 different mechanics & neither one being able to determine what is causing it i found recall #17s09 involving the same yr, model & assembly plant as my vehicle but only including 1.6l gtdi engines. My vehicle has a 1.5l gtdi & i believe is being affected by the same issue as the 1.6l models that have already been recalled.

    Very dangerous safety hazard with 2014 ford fusion. There are issues with the car stalling on me. Typically it happens when i am leaving a parking lot or gas station, pulling away from a stop sign/light, or reversing from a parking spot and shifting back into drive. It will sputter, the rpm needle rapidly fluctuates above 1 and under 1, and then will just go to 0. At all times i am driving at low speeds, but…

    This car just fell apart at 130000 miles. The purge valve failed 3 times. The abs speed sensor pigtail failed. The entire pcm unit board shorted un repairable. The map sensor failed. Ford has charged me 3 times for diagnosis as failures were less then 4 days apart so towed back each time. A pcm complete failure on a car not even 4 years old with only 130000 miles is an issue as they want around $1000 for replacement…

    My car is stalling after it is driven for 15-20 mins. Once the car is turned off, if it is started within the next hour, it always stalls out. I see that ford fusion had a similar issue that was recalled. This is the note that i saw online for the ford focus recall, "ford is recalling nearly 1.3 million focus compact cars in the u.s. Because a fuel system problem can cause the engines to stall without warning. The…

    Electronic throttle body. My ford fusion (2014) engine shuts off. The scenario is that after driving it on my commute (40 miles / 1 hour driving) and then stopping quickly to grab food, when i leave the parking lot it will shut down. I pull over and then start it back up and drive away. It has happened a few times.
