When starting the car this morning, I noticed that the steering wheel was driving kind of stiff and the car was kind of losing control while I was accelerating down the street. A while later in the day, my wrench light came on and then turned off, but a couple of months later a warning light came on saying Hillside assist not available, and then another warning light popped up after that one saying Service advance trac. So I turned the car off and attempted to restart it and the lights stayed on.

My backup camera has started to glitch like the other 2015 fords that are in recall. The screen will get green lines through it, go black, flip horizontal/vertical, flash on and off, it creates more of a distraction than assistance and makes it very hard to back in/out of tight spaces. I have not taken it to the dealership. Right before the other recall was released I called the dealership and told me I-??d have to get a whole new camera installed and pay out of pocket. Has not been inspected No warnings or other symptoms prior

The trunk of the car randomly opens even when in motion sometimes enough to block my rear window and often when I can-??t safely pull over right away. This keeps happening over and over. It is not just one incident on one day but multiple incidents over multiple days.

The Telematic Control Module/Unit failed and it is unavailable through Ford. I am told that Ford no longer makes the part. The part controls the many of the car's operations vital for safe driving. (Part No. HS7z14G229EH)

Check engine light, Code P0303. #3 cylinder misfire. Coolant leaking into cylinders 2 & 3 due to faulty casting of the short block. This was a known defect of 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5 liter EcoBoost engine by Ford Motor Co. No recall was issued. I was not notified of this defect until it happened. Ford covered repairs for some vehicles but not mine stating I was not within the required timeframe. I had to pay $7200 to repair this problem. I only had 80,000 miles on the car. I feel a recall should have been issued on all these cars since Ford knew about the defect. Please look into this and require Ford to issue a recall. Thank you.

My vehicle will not turn on after refueling, but there are no signs of visible damage. The check engine light remains illuminated, and the code read for the O2 sensors. The RPM jump up and down at the slightest push of the accelerator, and occasionally the engine will shut off when RPM drops to idle speed.

My first problem is that when i try to accelerate the speed it acts as if it doesn-??t want to go above the speed that I-??m already going! Also my engine light pops on and off and says it could be a number of things such as my brakes and exhaust. The last problem is that my brake lights will not turn off at all.

I noticed the coolant level keeps getting low. There was a large amount of white smoke coming from the exhaust. It sounds like water in the dash. Now the car is barely drivable. No warning lights have come on.

Two piece lug nuts. Dealer will not rotate tires because they say the lug nuts are swelled and are afraid that they will damage the lugs nuts and I would not be able to change the tire if I had a flat since my lug wrench would not fit. I should not have to buy replacement nuts at $100+. Ford should have to replace these at no cost to me or anyone else.

The ACM (Audio Control Module) has failed in my 2015 Ford Fusion. Three times there was a very loud thump. Then the radio had a very loud static sound followed by silence. The radio won't even change stations or modes I can not use the radio, handsfree phone, google map assistance, cd, anything that is related to audio. Many complaints regarding the same issue are listed online. Wondering if Ford should do a recall on this failed system.

The transmission shift bushing fell off and my gear shift is stuck in park while the transmission indicator is registering as neutral. This was a recall for many Ford Fusion models but apparently not mine, although it is certainly the same issue the other models were experiencing. The bushing lubricant/bushing appears to have worn down over time resulting in this issue.

Car was taking him for a recall on brake lines. Dealer phoned me and suggested that they replace the Lugnuts because they are a two piece. They are swollen and it-??s a safety issue. I agreed to have them replace them at my cost because there is no warranty on these defective Lugnuts I see that this is an ongoing issue that Ford has known for quite a while. I think they should reimburse the people for the money they have spent on the dealer charges or just warranty them for the rest people that come in with the same issue. I also believe that my dealer is way over charging 10 Lugnuts will be about $100 for me to pay whereas I can buy a set of 20 of them online for under $20. I think this is outrageous.

My trunk keeps popping open randomly at least 6-10 times a day. It happens at night, during the day, when I-??m out running errands. It might not happen for a day, but then happen for the next few days in a row. There is no rhyme or reason as to why or when it will happen. I have googled this problem on line abs see that it is a major problem with this make model and year. My trunk keeps getting wet because it does not stay in a garage and the rain just pours in at night if it opens during the night, which it has several times now. I took it to the Ford dealership today to have them fix a different recall issue and fix my trunk. The trunk did not pop open for them when it was there abs therefore they said they couldn-??t fix it. I am very disappointed with this answer. I need my trunk fixed now with all the rain and eventual snow of winter and Ford has no answers for me, and hasn-??t helped fix the issue with anyone else that I see with this same issue on line. This is definitely a defective issue that Ford needs to fix asap!! This is not acceptable and is a major driving hazard as it happens when driving as well. I wish I could afford to get a different vehicle but I can-??t. This issue first started this June 2023. I changed my key fob battery as some suggested, but no change. When this has happened if I have been in the car I can hear a definite -??clicking-?? sound in the trunk area. Possibly a faulty wiring system?? I want this fixed as I am moving to another state in a month and I am very scared to have this fly open on the highway and put myself and others at risk-??.hence why I took it in today to have them fix the recall and also replace the trunk so that it is fixed, but they said it didn-??t open for them when it was it was in the shop for a couple hours and therefore there wa smithing wrong with it that they could see. Definitely not acceptable abd I need this fixed asap if this car is to be considered safe to drive for me and for others on the roads.

The OEM back up camera will spontaneously go to a black or blue screen and at times will just say, -??back up camera not available-??. Being without a back up camera leaves a blind spot where you can-??t see small children or pets that are directly behind my car. When it does work the picture displayed is reversed wich can disorient you
