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…

This vehicle has had a dead battery 2 times after sitting overnight. No extra power draws we added. The last resulted with the engine light on once it was jump started. The engine code that was on was a p068a ecm/pcm power relay de-energized performance. It will be scheduled to go to the dealership to try to resolve this issue

This vehicle has had a dead battery 3 times after sitting overnight. No extra power draws we added. The last resulted with the engine light on once it was jump started. The engine code that was on was a p068a ecm/pcm power relay de-energized performance - too early. This vehicle has already been brought into the dealership where they performed a battery test and reprogrammed the modules. This was less than 1 month…

Auto headlights delay setting in ford fusion. I took a rental car and ensured the lights were set to automatic. There is a hidden feature in ford fusion where we can set a delay for the lights to turn on. I entered a tunnel which is completely dark and no lights were there inside the tunnel. I could not see anything as the lights didn't turned on. I fortunately met with a small incident but this hidden feature…

I have noted, when passing newer ford fusions during non-daylight hours, that the headlights project brightly out of the side of the lens and slightly backward, to the point of being distracting and causing me to wince. I have not noted this to occur when passing any other vehicles but have noticed it when passing several newer ford fusions. It appears that the light emission pattern for the headlight assemblies is…

The insurance institute for highway safety has rated "marginal" the headlight effectiveness for the 2016 ford fusion. I think ford should replace the headlights which is a safety issue and an expensive proposition.

This was a rental od 11433 miles. Driving at night i activated the right turn signal and the right head lamp bulb went out. I repeated this signal left and the left head lamp bulb went out. When signaling was complete the head lamp came back on. I could not latch the high beam by the turn signal lever. It had to be manually held. These same repeated actions were done with the same results. On an until area a person…
