“The charge melted, almost caught fire the electrical 110 volt gfi rept in my garage. I created a case with Ford and they say too bad car is out of warranty. My wife and 20 month old son were in the house when the rept started smoking. I could have lost my family and my home. Ford says no issues and they cannot help or do anything. If you go to myford mobile and type in fusion melting repts to pages of owners with the same problem have made comments. The car is at big valley Ford in stockton and they cannot figure out why it has melted a gfi rept. …”

“Drove the car down a mountain road and somehow managed to regenerate 29 miles on the battery. Thought that very strange as the highest charge or regen achieved prior to this showed 24 miles and did not think the battery could hold that much. Returned home about 9:30pm with an empty plug-in charge. At approximately 9:50pm plugged in the car for charging using the 120v Ford phev charger supplied with the vehicle. At approximately 3am awoke smelling electrical fire. …”

“The car is suffering random shutdown and intermittent times. The battery is no longer holding a charge and when it shuts down this places me at extreme risk. Ford is unable to fix it so this is no longer happening without replacing the High Voltage battery - battery from ford alone is 11k. I cannot be the only one who is dealing with this car doing this.”

NHTSA complaint #11749732, filed 2026-07

“Air conditioning failure which allows for non-cooling of hv battery in energi. Vehicle forced into hybrid mode to cool battery though it is unclear whether there was any capacity to cool hv battery due to completely depleted freon. Concern over hv battery capacity compared to other Fusion Energi models.”
