2016 ford fusion making loud rattling noise from engine. No check engine light ever came on, but ford saying engine is catastrophic engine failure. Connecting rod in piston broke loose. How does no check engine light ever come on? This could have killed me on the highway. How does a 3 year old car with 128,000 (mostly highway) miles go into catastrophic engine failure? Car has been meticulously maintained.

My car will shut down and lose all power without notice when i'm at highway speeds. A comment comes on the dash that says something like " transmission is not in gear" or something like that. I'm not sure of the exact words because whenever it does it i'm looking to get to the far right lane so i can come to a complete stop on the side of the highway to come to a stop, put the car in park, turn it off then turn it…

This is a recurring problem which has now happened 4 times. The entire electrical system goes down. The dash goes dark, the a/c does not work, the turn signals don't work, the doors and windows will not work and i cannot even get out of the car. It does not help to turn off and restart the car, everything will start working eventually on its own. I can steer and brake, but that is all. This last time i was on the…

Ford was changing these out through their own recall but that ended years ago. This problem is very popular over the ford models and could wind up killing somebody when the engine cuts out. Ford is not standing behind the safety of their customers and…

I was driving on the highway and the main screen in the center of the dashboard turned off and had the message 'turning off system to save battery'. This was not an accurate projection by the car system being that i just recently installed a brand new battery a couple of days prior. As the car system continued to shut down, the alert of 'system charging service now' showed up on the dash. Following that message the…

The 12-volt battery on the energi model will not hold a charge. Repeated jump starts are required. Despite being under warranty, 2 ford dealers claimed they don't know the source of the problem and refused to replace the battery. No wonder ford dropped this model. It is a disaster that ford refuses to acknowledge.

I instantly thought this was odd since i always keep the window's locked so that my son can not play with the windows. I checked, and found that the light was on indicating that the lock was active. I then pulled over, and…

I then exited the open door, and was able…

The radio will turn on to full volume and you can't turn off the radio, or turn down the volume. The heat will not turn back on and all the computer functions stop working. The dealership said they don't know what is wrong and they want to charge me $5000 to start to fix the problem.
