“My sunroof exploded outwards while I was driving on the highway. I had just left the beach, so the exterior was very hot and the interior was very cold with A/C running. I thought something had fallen out of the sky until I saw the glass was bowed outwards.”
NHTSA complaint #10887661, filed 2016-07, 35,000 miles“The driver-side interior door latch stop working and I couldn't get out of the car! This malfunction happened in a very mundane manner. As I was doing regular errands, in and out of the car on friday, august 5, 2016, on my third errand stop, the door latch broke. I really didn't notice a snap or any kind of breaking sound. I don't know if the break occurred while I was driving or not. I was stopped/parked in shopping center parking lot when I noticed this problem. At first I panicked and was quite afraid. …”
NHTSA complaint #10894172, filed 2016-08, 82,000 miles“When the battery instantly died, I was locked in the car and had to wait till the battery built up before I could remove myself from the car. The doors would not open. Recently, I could not get out of the drivers side door because the latch inside would not open the door, I had to roll down the window and reach out to open the door. The mechanic called Ford and they said they had many problems with the plastic pin in the latch breaking in many of the vehicles and commonly have to be replaced. This is unacceptable in case of an emergency.”
NHTSA complaint #10994264, filed 2017-06, 120,000 miles“Summary: I have two complaints. 1) takata recall, Ford sent me the notice in 2016 and Ford mechanic shop said that Ford had not made any replaceable air bags these past three years. I just called this week 8/13/18 due to another recall notice and again no airbags had been made. 2) door latch stop working and there was a recall on the Ford cars and many recalls that dated back in 2011, but not on the Ford fusion 2010? Why? Many owners had complained about the Ford fusion cars. See:last week's recall covers 389,585 2012-14 Ford fiesta and 2013-14 Ford fusion and lincoln mkz cars. …”
NHTSA complaint #11120889, filed 2018-08, 100,000 miles“On may 9, 2013 at approximately 8 am, shortly after entering a two lane state highway driving my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, I removed my foot from the accelerator and brake my car to stop at a traffic light 6 feet behind a stopped 2007 mercury mariner. While stopped for a few seconds, I removed my foot from the brake pedal and the car suddenly accelerated traveling approximately 6 feet, colliding into the rear bumper of the mariner. My fusion bumper slid under the mariner bumper crashing the grill and causing substantial damage (approximately $5000) to the front end and hood of my fusion. …”
