Imagine driving at normal speed when suddenly you suffer complete engine power loss. The power steering, braking, lighting and climate control systems remain fully functional so you have no clear clue on what is occurring, however you know the vehicle no longer remains operational and you come to a complete stop in the middle of the road.

In October 2017 my Fusion stalled out four times (three various days and one day 15 minutes between stalls) and again on November 4th. Each time I was driving less than 10 mph; four times on a city street and once in a parking lot. In each case I had been driving for an hour or more and then stopped and turned off the car for a period of time (1/2 hour or so). When I got into the car to drive away the car would start normally and then within a few minutes after the car was put into drive and moving it would start to sputter and shake and then stall out. In each case no engine check light came on. I would wait a few seconds, press the start button, the engine would crank a few times, and then it would start. Each time this occurred I ran a vehicle health report and nothing was noted. The car was taken to a Ford dealer where they could not replicate the issue. In doing research, I believe there is an issue with the fuel injection throttle body.

I was on the freeway and my Fusion started shaking violently, the engine light came on, and I lost power. I had to pull over as quickly as possible. Lucky for me it was a Saturday morning and not many people were on the road. I could have easily been in an accident otherwise.

While going in reverse down an incline all the dash lights turn on and steering locks up. This also happens when turning and braking at the same time. On the city streets is when it was first notice. After having the dealer computer read out and my repair shop read out both said the same thing. This repair had to be made. Right front passenger side wheel ABS sensor and harness and had to remove and replace the wheel speed ABS sensor and harness. I have uploaded all repair/bill and diagnostics on this 2015 car. No recalls for this problem have been reported to the maker as of yet and I have called the maker of this car's customer service dept and also on line to the facebook website and have filed a report.

While driving, my vehicle overheated. Checked coolant level, and it was less than half full. I refilled coolant to recommended level, and proceeded to drive. Two weeks later, it overheated again, and my coolant was low again. Refilled and monitored for leaks. No leaks. Then vehicle began misfiring. Diagnosed with cylinder 3 misfire. Replaced spark plugs and coil packs. Still misfiring. Rediagnosed with cylinder 3 misfire. Then it just died. Would not start. Acted as though it was flooding. Diagnosed with no additional issues by dealership. Then discovered tsb for a bolt that was backing out of the intercooler and into the manifold. This issue was allowing coolant to flood the manifold and cause misfiring. Got that fixed as well as the catalytic converter and turbo unit for the car which were damaged as a result of the coolant issue. $5,000 in repairs for a manufacturing defect that could have left my family and I stranded in the desert heat without A/C or in the sub-zero snowy mountains without heat since the vehicle would not even start. As a family, we travel extensively. This is definitely a safety issue!!!!!

The 2015 Fusion had a surge and the car jerked forward. My wife said that happened to her before. When it happened when I was in the car driving it we both looked at each other. This happened to us with the 2010 rav4 and the 2009 sienne that crashed into a tree. Please check this car for a computer problem.

After the car has been off for some time. Put the car in reverse. After reversing out of spot, etc. And put the car into "L"; upon moving forward, the engine starts racing and lurches uncontrollably forward. Almost like the car is engine braking down a large hill, but no hill and is accelerating without applying brakes. This is the plug-in hybrid model. There is no incline when this happens.

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!

On more than three occasions, the vehicle's engine has abruptly shut down while driving or coming to complete stop when the gear was in the drive position. This has also occurred while driving over 60 mph on the expressway and it poses a grave danger and safety risk. When the incidents occurred the console display read "transmission not in park". after the first two incidents, the vehicle was returned to rod baker Ford in joliet, Illinois for service (purchase location). They stated that they could not identify the problem, but I believe that they did not contact Ford or take the necessary steps to fix this serious defect. Most recently on June 22, 2015, the vehicle's engine shut down while coming to a stop when the gear was in drive......there is a serious and potentially life-threatening defect with my 2015 Ford Fusion and it must be repaired or replaced. I also suggest that Ford be informed to ensure that other affected vehicles are either repaired or replaced....updated 09/08/15 updated 10/26/2017

While driving on hwy 27A at 65 mph [xxx] reached under the steering column, bumping the ignition switch. This bump caused the motor to cut off. [xxx] was able to pull off the road and restart the vehicle. This happened again in our driveway. [xxx] had pulled out of the garage and placed the vehicle in park as [xxx] explained where the steering wheel adjustment was located. When [xxx] reached under the steering column he bumped the ignition switch or keys and the motor cut off. We returned the vehicle to the our garage and contacted Ford of ocala for a service appt. On 5/2 we delivered the car to Ford/ocala. [xxx] said they couldn't fix the problem we explained. Then [xxx] got into the car with Ms. Leathers keys and repeated shut the vehicle off by bumping the key/ignition switch. [xxx] was another employee in the shop who witnessed this happening. [xxx] said he needed to contact troubleshooting and that couldn't happen until Monday. 5/4 I contacted Ford/ocala and they informed me that the work was done, under warranty, and that they changed the keychain and that fixed the problem. Only the key chain we were using when we witnessed the shutdown was not the one Ford/ocala had. I spoke to [xxx] at Ford customer relations and she said we could test our key chain and the modified key chain in the Fusion. [xxx] went on 5/8 to try the vehicle, with the modified key chain and [xxx], the service mgr in the passenger seat. Again, [xxx] reached under the steering column, bumped the ignition switch/key chain and the motor cut off. [xxx] responded that the car was suppose to work like that. She then said we had to get the car off their lot. The vehicle is dangerous and no one should drive it. The car is still at Ford of ocala. The ignition switch if bumped can cut the motor off.
