2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid Electrical system Problems

“The brakes suddenly became ineffective and required a lot of pressure to bring the car to a stop. The braking light system came on when this happened. When the car was turned off on again it seemed to reset itself. I tried to get the brake software updated by frontier Ford in santa clara and they would not do it without charging me. They said it was out of warranty and it was not covered. This is despite the fact that this problem has been covered in the past and there have been many complaints about it.”

“I am contacting you regarding a fatal car accident that my sister was just killed in on 8/29/17. She drove a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid.

This is a tragic loss for our family and is not ok for Ford to sell cars like this. Someone do something!!!!”

“When decelerating, my car sometimes jerks , accompanied by multiple warning lights and--dangerously--a total loss of engine power. The car goes dead, in the middle of the road, and has to be restarted by removing the key and reinserting it. This could cause a collision both from behind (by someone who doesn't realize that the car has just died --especially at night), as well as the jerk potentially causing me to collide with someone in front. My dealership told me that Ford had put out a bulletin regarding this issue, which called for the installation of a new wiring harness. …”

“The blower motor resistor harness has too much power going into it causing several vehicles not only mine to have a melted wire and connector replaced several times and it keeps occurring definitely a fire hazard.
