03/2015 lost control of the breaks and had to use the parking breaks to attempt to stop me and U still hit another car. 07/09/2015 lost all control of breaks, instrument panel display turned white and the mft turned black, motor shut off. The dealer can't find the problem, they just do a computer reset and it temporarily fixes the problem but they reject me to put my child in this car!

Fusion

I rented a 2015 Ford Fusion SE4 for 2 weeks from enterprise rental car location at 2090 N SR7, hollywood, fl 33021, ph.no. 954-964-9954. During the drive back to enterprise to return the vehicle, my knee brushed up against the fob dangling from the keyed ignition switch, the key rotated to the acc position from the run/on position and the engine stopped. I was in drive at the time, so I stopped the vehicle, placed the transmission shifter in park and restarted the engine. On arrival at enterprise while stopped in their parking lot with foot on the brake and the transmission in drive, I was able without any difficulty to turn the ignition key to accessory or off while the transmission was still in drive. I demonstrated this same procedure to the enterprise agent, but felt that NHTSA and Ford need to know that this vehicle is unsafe to drive prior to repairs to the ignition switch. I emailed Ford with a similar report to this one. VIN: [xxx] fl tag # [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I bought a brand new 2015 Ford Fusion. My knee has hit the key fob multiple times while driving and the car has turned off while in motion. This is a very dangerous situation because the car shuts off while in traffic. The key fob sticks way out and for a guy who is 6ft it is very hard to avoid hitting the key fob with my knee. This will kill someone. I told Ford and they don't care. I told the dealer I wanted to return the car and they would let me. Please fix the key fob. This is the same problem Chevy camero's were having. Google "Ford Fusion fob knee".

I was driving southbound on I-75 almost to perrysburg in the middle lane and my car completely shut off. My car was still in drive, but all the lights on my dash went black and when I pressed on the gas pedal I wasn't going anywhere. There was a truck next to me in the right hand lane, I waited for it to pass and then got over. I finally made it to the shoulder and put my car in park. I then waited a couple minutes and restarted my car.

Rented car from enterprise car rental (734)451-2499. Car lost power on two occasions while driving. First time around 9:00 am going East on 401 in Canada, second time around 8:00 pm going West on 402 in Canada. Lost power steering, engine power, power brakes and headlights. Was able to safely pull over and had to place car in park and restarted car with ignition key. Rental car company provides two car keys with a braided chain to keep the two keys together and to discourage customer from separating the keys (need wire cutters to separate). The Ford keys are very heavy and have integrated keyfob. To prevent the keys from hitting my knees, I used a tywrap to pull them closer together.
