On multiple, random occasions, the left and right turn signals have malfunctioned, I.e., they either do not stay on longer than one flash cycle, or they shut off prematurely. The function is not being confused with the 3 flash lane change feature ? this feature works 100% of the time. Premature shutting off of the turn signal typically (but not always) occurs when making a turn from a full stop. When the signal is actuated, it flashes for 10 ? 30 seconds while sitting at a stop light (wheels are positioned straight ahead). When the traffic light changes and I just begin to turn the wheel, the signal shuts off. The immediate shut off issue does not happen as frequently as the premature issue, but when it does happen, I cannot get the turn signal to function for more than one flash at a time. Both described issues have occurred since the vehicle was about 3 months old. This issue will be reported for the first time when the vehicle goes in for its next service.

Traveling home at 35mph, vehicle lurched and lost power - was able to drive 15 mph max speed the 3 miles home, but vehicle barely accelerated after slowing or stopping. Power train light and airbag light came on. As vehicle driven into garage, dashboard lighting went off suddenly, but vehicle accelerated with effort into garage. Four hours later at 10pm, started vehicle, no warning lights came on dash. Morning of December 10, called dealership. They advised if the light did not come on this morning, then they would not be able to diagnose problem. Vehicle drove normally to work with no warning lights. Dealership said there was low voltage on the accelerator causing problem and they ordered parts and "fixed" it on December 18th, but on December 24th, I was on interstate at 55 mph, vehicle on cruise control. Speed limit increased to 60mph, began adjusting cruise control speed via thumb button on steering wheel column. After three thumb "clicks" to 58mph, vehicle lurched and lost power and began immediately decelerating. Power train light and airbag light came on. Pulled to right berm and shut off engine. Over the next 37 minutes, attempted to start vehicle every 5-6 minutes. On six different attempts, the vehicle revved as accelerator applied but the engine never "caught" or turned over, it would die as soon as the accelerator pedal released. On 7th attempt, the vehicle turned over, and I was able to proceed to the next exit. Since the car seemed to be running normally, I risked it and tried to get the vehicle home, knowing that a tow at 8pm on christmas eve would be expensive and timely. The power train light and airbag light remained on for the 8 mile trip home. The next day, vehicle operated "normally" with no power train light or airbag light. Second occurrence.

I drive a 2013 Ford Fusion, which I purchased new from an authorized Ford dealership. By 3772 miles, the car began to downshift violently, upshift around 6 or 7 thousand rpms, not shift at all, the heated seat would come on by themselves with no indicator lights, the transmission gear indicator light stays on when the car is off and no key inside, the radio turns on and off at will when the car is parked and locked up, a severe odor of mildew comes from the A/C when first comes on, the trim molding keeps coming off, the car has lost a significant amount of power, the led lights in the tail lights stay on all night even after the car is turned off, and etc. These problems are inconsistent in nature with no identifiable conditions causing the series of non-conformities. Ford Motor Company hasn't been able to fix the car after numerous attempts. I am currently in arbitration.

This is the third time the 12 volt battery has died while the car has been sitting for 24 hours or more. The Fusion energi titanium was in the shop for 10 days and the dealer finally replaced the battery after running extensive tests. Each time this happens, the car is totally disabled and has to be jumped. This issue tends to happen when it is very hot outside or the car is sitting in the sun. The high voltage battery fans will run when the car is stopped in traffic and when you power off the car.

Since I took delivery of my vehicle, I have occasionally received warnings regarding a failure of the traction control and hill assist systems while starting the vehicle. This was reported to the dealership a couple of times, with "no issues found" reported by the dealership service department. After paying close attention to my starting procedures, I have been able to repeat the warnings while performing the following specific starting procedure... 1) remotely start the vehicle (factory installed remote starter), 2) insert the key and turn to the first position, 3) keep key in this position for 1-2 seconds, 4) turn the key to the run position. These steps will cause the warnings every time. By turning the car off and restarting, the warnings are gone, and there are no history of the warnings in the vehicle computer. I have shown this starting procedure to the dealership service department and have complained directly to Ford with no reply. I continue to drive my vehicle unsure if there is a valid issue or not.

Front driver side and passenger side windows will not work with one touch button. Turns out after three months of back and forth to the dealer, the molding on the driver side window was faulty allowing water to get in and short out electrical system.

While driving to work on the highway 65-mph the engine shuts off without warning, the instrumental panel starts acting up as if you are turning on and off the key. They found a lose wire to the instrumental cluster on the second time they replaced the instrumental cluster. It has been taken back six times and now the dashboard shuts down and I lose lights, signals, and other electronic features. I have lost power steering and brakes in between. They offered me an extended warranty"?" it is a shame that a consumer who buys a car from a dealership has to go through the grinder just to get out of their lemon. I just want to get out of this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that he keyed in the code to unlock the doors via the numeric keyless entry but the trunk erroneously opened. The contact also stated that the doors did not always lock using the keyless entry system. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was unable to provide assistance without the failure occurring during diagnostics. The failure mileage was 15 and the current mileage was 3,200. Updated 2/19/13
