“While driving on the highway, my dash informed me that my power steering module failed, and I had to pull over because the power steering was no longer working. I took it to a Ford dealership who misdiagnosed it as a battery issue. After getting a new battery the same issue happened again. I now have to replace the whole power steering which will cost me 3k.”
NHTSA complaint #11382990, filed 2020-12, 87,000 miles“The sync intouch system in my 2015 Ford Fusion is not working properly. For example, when I go to my climate setting it states temporary lost communication with the climate system. I'm not able to turn my volume on or off/up or down, or change the radio station. I'm also not able to roll down my passenger side window. The issue happens whether I'm stationary or driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11321291, filed 2020-04, 102,491 miles“I received a recall notice (18s08 recall 18v-167) in may of 2018, ironically right after my charging device melted in my garage outlet. Ford has said for months that they would have this resolved by 2019. I went two weeks ago to my deal and they still have no update as to when this will be resolved. I have not been able to charge my car at home in a year!!! This is not acceptable...”
NHTSA complaint #11194642, filed 2019-04, 47,500 miles“I took my car into the Ford dealer for service as the car's bluetooth wouldn't pair to my cell phone. The issue began about two months ago. The dealer determined that the apim module needs replacing. The module is important for hands free communication while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11385125, filed 2020-12, 26,000 miles“While driving the vehicle, I went to reverse and turn around. When I shifted into reverse all electrical systems failed, brakes no longer worked, and I slowly went back until I hit a small concrete pillar. This problem has happened now multiple times, at random speeds and random times. It's never set on a specific motion or action.”
