“Ford Fusion Energi, did its low powered state again, this time on the free way, dropping rapidly from 75mph to 22mph and barely able to maintain that speed. The display showed the safety features becoming deactivated. Something new though, the headlights went out and the console dimmed and was barely readable, I turned on my hazards and I hope they where working, either way I was fortunate enough to avoid a rear end collision and got the vehicle off the road. …”

“On 7/26 my 2016 Ford fusion enegeri with 3800 miles acted oddly awhile at a red light. When I attenmped to accelerate it surged forward and soon after an icon that looked like a submarine ppeared on my dashboard. I had just taken the vehicle in for it's first service at 3400 miles.

I asked for a loaner. They said no. …”
