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.

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 interstate and was frightened that I would be hit before I could get on the shoulder. When I took it in, as usual, they could not find the problem. It was suggested that I contact Ford for a replacement vehicle. They denied my request, saying I was outside the time period for filing. The case number is fma cas-22012807. I bought the car at raceway Ford in hartsville, SC, where I resided, in March of 2016. I first had trouble with it in June, 2016 and took it in. The again in December, 2016 and January, 2018. I have since moved to des moines, ia and had the same problem again in July, 2019. The car has less then 19,000 miles and I feel very dangerous. In January, 2018 they told me that they replaced the entire computer system but the problem is still there. I hope there is something that the NHTSA can help with.

I was driving down the highway and my engine lost power. My car would not accelerate. I could not even go the speed limit. The dealer had to replace the throttle body. 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 feel the NHTSA needs to step in and make this a mandatory recall. Someone is going to die from this and it is all across all their makes.

I was parking backing up when the horn went on the first time. I thought that I might have touched the horn sign accidentally. Driving away from work the same problem happened again the same day, horn went on blaring loud again but this time hands was well positioned on the wheel. When making turn left or right horn would sound out loud again. When car is parked outside and the temperature is high horn would sound on and off. It happened also while car was in motion in the traffic blaring so loud on and off to cause fear and anxiety. The horn would go on and off even park in the driveway at night and during the day causing nuisance in community. Took car to the dealership at the services department after hearing the horn loud blaring(sd) decided to disable it until they checked the problem. The diagnostic reveled a faulty electrical wiring affecting the ignition and air bag. Been having this issue two weeks before memorial weekend May 2019, issue occurring up to this moment.

But then was told after they confirmed it was the throttle body that it was not covered.

Vehicle in motion. After 40mph, service advancetrac lights on dash. ABS is activated even though on dry ground. Brake pedal becomes hard and drops about 50%. stopping distance dramatically increased. Pedal pulsates under my foot. Traction control turned off. Hill assist turned off. This continues to happen every time I drive the car since mid November, 2018. The defective part is the tone ring, which is part of the wheel bearing and is very expensive to repair. Ford will do nothing about it even though there is no problem at all with the tone ring. The electrical problem is the harness that the wheel speed sensor plugs into on the left front wheel. The yellow wire has a hole in it and corrodes. Ford is also aware of this problem but refuses to do anything about it.

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 power steering completely shut down. Shortly there after, the entire electrical system shut down in my car. Lights, steering, dashboard, electronic seats, doors, gear shift, everything! this all happened in the span of 1 minute or so on a highway at 11pm at night. I almost got into an inescapable acccident trying to find somewhere to get the car off the highway. Shortly there after the engine also cut off due to not getting any power from the car system. This is very unfortunate because this car is only 2 years old and I bought the car brand new off the lot.

When I started the car multiple alarms sounded and the display showed the following errors: Steering assist fault service required, service advancetrac, pre-collission assist not available, hill start assist not available. The car has 13514.1 miles on the odometer at the time of this occurrence. The car had been driven less than 10 miles earlier in the day but had been parked with the engine off for nearly 8 hours. I did not attempt to drive the vehicle due to the difficult, if not impossible, chore of turning the steering wheel. I shut the vehicle off and restarted it several times attempting to see if the faults would clear on their own. No luck.

ABS lights, traction control lights, throttle body control lights, air bag lights, emergency break lights, rear right break lights all come on my dash, it is at random times, first starting the car up, driving it for 2 minutes or even up to 10-12 minutes. Speed, weather or making a turn or just going straight does not matter. Warning lights can go off every day multiple times or as lttle as once a week. You can feel the streeting get very tight, its hard to even make a turn which is not very safe. Had my vehilce in the shop for 25 days straight. Was told the issues were fixed and withint 7 hours of picking my car up all the same lights came on.

Engine loses engine power when driving. Pressing the accelerator pedal does nothing. Must coast or brake until the car stops. Power steering, braking, and climate control systems remain functional; radio remains on; turn signals did not work. ¿trans not in park¿ message appears on the display. Event has occurred three times when driving at highway speeds. Cruise control was on and set during at least two times out of the three events. Car may be restarted after coming to a stop, shifting into park and turning key to off. Appears to ¿reset¿ to work correctly until the next unexpected event occurs. Check engine light does not come on. Chime occurs after the loss of engine power. The car does not shake during or before event. Have not experienced any harsh or delayed shifting when starting from stop or after slowing and trying to accelerate. Three identical instances have occurred since driving this car. In one of the three instances, the key was bumped with a knee. Present milage is about 48000. Car was obtained in 12/2016. Local Ford dealer states that there are no recalls or services outstanding for this vehicle; did not know of any reported problems like this. On May 15, 2018 wes myers at bob sight Ford in lee's summit, Missouri checked two other Fusion and noted that this same problem will occur if the key is barely rotated back - not so much as to think it should turn off the engine. As such, he did not find anything ¿wrong¿ since other vehicles exhibit the same problem; replacing the ignition switch with another that has the same problem would not provide a fix. Also stated that unless the car was still under the bumper to bumper warranty, that Ford would not take any action. The vehicle leasing company (enterprise) has not issued any notices stating this is a known issue with the vehicle. NHTSA 9/19/2016, blacklick, oh, is similar issue.

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.

While driving my car on a city street my husband was in the passenger seat, and my son was sitting in the back seat. My husband got warm, and pushed the automatic button to roll down his window. 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 rolled up his window, unlocked the window, re-locked it, and had him do it again. While the car was running I had the thought to check the door locks as well. He was also able to open his door after pressing the lock button!
