This is my 2nd complaint on the non action to repair this recall. Ford's latest attempt to NOT repair the electrical defect is to buy my car. Their offer does meet the cost of buying a replacement car. Is Ford so inept that they cannot repair their own products" The offer to buy the car sends a red flag up. Is Ford's "solution" to buy my car an attempt to acquire cars to resell at a profit? If Ford cannot repair a defect that was diagnosed a long time ago, should they be allowed to continue to manufacture and sell cars in the United States? Has Ford been sanctioned in any way for this defect"

I could not find a link for complaints, so I am reporting a complaint here. I got a notice of recall in July 2023 (NHTSA Recall 23V-440) for this vehicle and almost a year later there is NO fix or updated communication on whether the Battery Energy Control Module for this vehicle can be modified to be made safe. I was told to stop charging the car due to a possible fire hazard, and this defeats the purpose that I purchased it for in the first place. I have been forced to buy (increasiingly expensive) gasoline for the past 10+ months whereas before the recall, I almost never purchased gas - just charged the car. I want to make a formal complaint against Ford Motor Corporation for their lack of action and communication on the status of this problem and when it is likely to be solved. Thank you.

The manufacturer is taking an unreasonably long time to remedy the situation affected by this recall. There has been virtually no communication, and their customer service isn't even aware of the issue unless reminded of it. I bought this car to be able to save on gas, and for the past year, I've pretty much been driving a regular hybrid that I have to pay extra to register because it's a partial EV, even though it's really not any more. They need to do right by

- Plymouth, WI, USA

I believe the manufacturer has failed to resolve the safety recall in a timely manner. The recall notice was sent on July 2023 and they still don-??t have a fix or information on the recall. The The sole purpose of me purchasing this vehicle was to save money on gasoline and the manufacturer states to not charge my vehicle. I-??ve called three times since the recall and the Ford representative over in corporate headquarters cannot give me an answer. Know that although the vehicle is under my spouse-??s name [XXX] ), i-??m the one driving it and making the payments. What are my options?

A recall on the electrical system of my plug in hybrid does not allow me to use the electrical portion of my vehicle. The main reason I purchased this vehicle was to use all electric with the option of having a gas powered vehicle. Until this is remedied, the dealership said that I cannot charge my vehicle. This was the major selling point of this vehicle. I also cannot sell this vehicle because no dealership will purchase this vehicle with this major recall (that has been issued with no remedy since June of last year (10 months ago).

Unable to charge the plug in hybrid vehicle due to Ford recall 23S33 which was announced June 16,2023. Ford advised owner not to charge the vehicles until a remedy is available. No remedy for this issue is available 9 months later, leaving consumer to use gasoline only to power this plug in hybrid vehicle due to risk of excess voltage and current flow through the battery energy control module which can result in loss of motive power while driving, increasing risk of a crash, or a vehicle fire in the trunk area increasing risk of injury. Ford negligently installed 9 kWh hybrid batteries in the 2019-2020 model vs a 7.6 kWh battery in the 2013-2018 Fusion energi models which likely caused the issue, yet has left the consumer with a vehicle that has lost it-??s worth in addition to having to pay for gasoline to power the vehicle. In addition, Ford installed 3 g modem-??s leaving consumers unable to use the Ford pass app as well. Ford buy back offer does not reflect depreciation of the vehicle due to this recall, further leaving consumers to pay for the issue Ford created.

My car has been under recall (NHTSA recall 23V440) without a remedy since June of last year. According to Ford if I charge my car (it is a PHEV) I risk damaging major components and/or the car catching on fire. Ford is not making any effort to repair my car in a timely manner. They will not provide a firm date for when they plan to fix this recall. I have called Ford and asked them to make this right and they have refused, saying that my state's lemon laws do not obligate them in any way to help me. I cannot sell the car because the resale value of the car has plummeted since the recall was issued. I only owned the car for 3 months before the recall happened.
