My brakes are faulty sometimes I-??m not able to stop like I should. I also have transmission problems. When I put the car into reverse or drive I hear a loud boom. It is getting worse by the day. I see that the transmission is on a recall as well.

Error message on instrument panel displays "temporarily lost communication with the climate system" when this happens the climate system, radio, windows, and seat controls stop working, this happens randomly and can last as long as a week. Many owners with several different Ford models are experiencing this problem and Ford refuses to acknowledge it.

My car windows will go up and then automatic come back down. The radio switchs channels on its own. The car stalls out and won't start. This has happen and gotten repaired more than 6 times in the last 1.5 years. It has happened again this pass weekend. My local Ford dealership is going to fix again. As of now I am paying for a car that Ford keeps saying does not fit under the Maryland lemon law. This car clearly has some serious electrical issues that Ford does not even understand. I am putting the latest date on it, but it has happen multiple times in the last year and a half. These problems occur while driving or stopped at a light or parked.

Standard front lights are insufficient to see clearly. Design flaw makes it impossible and costly to buy your own brighter bulb(sulvaniabright white)and have it installed, costing upwards of $400. Remedy; instruct Ford to cover the cost of insullating internal if customer buys a better bulb. And reduce cost of intalling

Fusion

This is not confined to Fusion, it's most new Ford cars and trucks. Their headlights (led?) are blindingly bright to oncoming traffic. The Fusion in particular casts very bright out to the left side as to be distracting to vehicles in the lane to their left traveling in the same direction. I've observed this mostly on 2-lane roads.

Fusion 4-cyl

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. While driving at dusk or dawn, the headlamp beams were too dim to project a visible light to safely operate the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the headlamps operated as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 100. The VIN was not available. Updated 05/10/17
