- Tuscaloosa, AL, USA

On December 27th 2019. My daughter slide into the back of another car and she complained the breaks were taking to long to come to a complete stop. The car was totaled and on January 23rd, 2020 we received safety recall notice 19S54/NHTSA recall 19V-904. Had we received this notice before 12/27/19 we believe repairs would have prevented the accident and the car would not have been sold for parts.

My ignition coils have melted and fried the PCM. Long story short it was a very dangerous situation where I was in the middle of a highway going 50mph when my car just wouldn't accelerate. It started shaking violently and I thought I was going to lose control. Luckily, I was able to safely make it to the side of the road and have it towed to the local dealership. Unfortunately, Ford has yet to take responsibility and recall these defective parts. There are thousands of complaints filed online. This issue costs thousands to fix and should be taken seriously by Ford. Even the dealership commented that they thought the ignition coil may have melted before they even looked at it because they know this is a known issue with Ford Fusion. I'm really disappointed in Ford.

This past week my car has been driving rough (sputtering) and seems to notice it more when driving on the highway but there are times while driving on city streets you can notice it (hear it and feel it) too. My tires are good, last year already had the PCM (major control module) replaced ($2,700) along with all the coils and spark plugs, and also pcu replaced and replaced my hcu ($1,500). So what the heck more can go wrong with this car. Trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with this car now.

I have replaced the broken bolt on the idler pulley for the second time in 6 months. This is an annoying issue with this engine. Fortunately it happened on statrt up so we were in the driveway. Had it happened on the highway, the loss of power steering could have easily resulted in a fatal crash. The bolt is poorly designed and needs to be larger and or harder. If this is not fixed someone will eventually be killed. How many deaths does it take to warrant attention by Ford"?"

I noticed the area where the passenger side airbag is is bulging from the dash. When I went to start the car it would turn over and immediately cut out. Airbag icon is lit up on dash as is the engine light. Repeated efforts to start and keep going were unsuccessful. Since I was on my way to work I kept trying. Finally got going and traveling approximately 20 mph and the car just completely shuts down. Got started again and proceeded to work and it happened again going about 35 mph. Ran fine for a couple of days, back to the same old thing today with the airbag light staying on. I have read of this issue before however I could not find that report today. It is very dangerous to be traveling along and have the car completely shut down on you. Ford really needs to take care of this issue. I am contemplating reporting this to a news station because it seems like they are not taking this seriously. The other reports I just read do not mention car cutting out on them or airbag and engine lights on.

I was on the on ramp for the highway and accelerated to enter ahead of upcoming tractor trailer. I entered the highway and the engine completely shut down on me. I managed to get into the breakdown lane before being hit by the oncoming tractor trailer. I turned off ignition and waited a few minutes before attempting to start car again. It did start and I drove home. Vehicle seemed fine the next few days except for an incident where car was off, no keys in it, but bell kept going off when I opened the door. Had two more instances where car stalled when first started in morning, thought it was just cold. Five days after first incident it happened again. I started car and it stalled several times. When I stepped on gas it felt odd, like it wasn't getting the gas. I proceeded to put in drive, got a third of a mile from home and the exact same thing occurred. I was driving down the street and the car just completely shut down while I was going approximately 25 mph. Would not start for about 15 minutes but once started I was able to get back home. Happened two more times and I am terrified I will be badly hurt or hurt someone else by causing an accident. No warning just a complete engine shut down. Now after all instances the check engine light has come on.

Belt idler pulley attachment bolt broke off while negotiating a corner, detaching the pulley from the front of the motor causing sudden loss of power steering assist, alternator charging, and engine cooling. Ford Fusion equipped with the 2.3L motor. This issue has now happened multiple times, with multiple parts replaced each time in an attempt to fix the underlying issue. A quick search online reveals this to be a very common problem with the Ford/Mazda 2.3L 4 cylinder.
