“Wipers on highest setting do not clear the windshield in a moderate rain. In the case of a hard downpour I have to pull over & stop.this has happened on multiple occasions. This is not acceptable!!! I will be trading this car soon!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10986149, filed 2017-05, 44,679 miles“Someone is going to be killed driving this vehicle in a driving rainstorm. Twice since buying this car, less than 30 days ago, I have been caught in a rainstorm, on the interstate, and the windshield wipers, at their highest speed, will not completely clear the windshield enough for sufficient visibility. I have had to stop and pull over and wait for the rain to quit. You have absolutely zero visibility. Even slowing the vehicle down didn't help. …”
NHTSA complaint #10871715, filed 2016-05, 43,900 miles“My 2015 Ford Fusion was parked outside in our company's parking lot in the morning and upon returning to the car in the afternoon (temp was in the 90's) there was a crack across the sunroof from left to right. Although the sunroof did not explode while driving and no one touched the car while it was parked, this should be investigated as a widespread defect in the manufacturing of the glass used in Ford's sunroofs as it poses a safety hazard if something like this happens while driving or if it shatters, showering the driver with glass.”
NHTSA complaint #10735695, filed 2015-07, 6,200 miles“I purchased a 2015 Ford Fusion in november 2014, about 1 week after the purchase; I got caught in a hard rain on a city street. I found that the wipers, at the highest speed, do not clear the windshield fast enough for clear visibility. The speed limit was 45, I slowed down to 25 or less. I brought my vehicle into the dealer, they had their technician look at it and I was told there is nothing wrong with them, they also compared them to another Fusion on the premises and the speed of the wipers were similar.I am hoping for a recall soon, before accidents happen and people get hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #10870435, filed 2016-05, 80 miles“I just purchased a 2015 Ford Fusion and like it so far except that about 1 week after the purchase; I got caught in a hard rain. I found that the wipers, at the highest speed, do not clear the windshield fast enough for clear visibility. The speed limit was 45, I slowed down to 25 or less. I brought my vehicle into the dealer, they had their technician look at it and I was told there is nothing wrong with them, they also compared them to another Fusion on the premises and the speed of the wipers were similar.
