A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022.

Service brakes, hydraulic, pedals and linkagesJan 13, 2022
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii. Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.
A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on March 4, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 13, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S02.

These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 or 17V-210, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A component within the door latches may break making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge.

AIR CONDITIONING CLUTCH BROKE OFF THE COMPRESSOR. SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO OTHER CARS THAT ARE LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD? THE SYSTEM WORKED ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. ONLY RECORD I HAVE IS THE BILL THAT I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED.

Service brakes, Oct 29, 2018, crash
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS A SHARED DRIVEWAY FOR A TOWNHOUSE SET. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I PULLED IN. I WAS GOING SLOWLY IN THE DRIVE WAY. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO PARK THE CAR. I HAD THE BRAKE FIRMLY DEPRESSED. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. I ENDED UP SLOWLY GOING INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD THE BRAKE PRESSED DOWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS. MY FOOT IS ALSO NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO HAVE PUSHED BOTH DOWN AT THE SAME TIME. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP WAS TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. IT CAME TO A JERKING STOP, BUT DID NOT CONTINUE THE FORWARD MOTION.

MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES YET.I BOUGHT A HYBRID SO IT WOULD LAST LONGER, NOT SHORTER THAN THE AVERAGE CAR

WHILE IN MOTION, MY 2014 FORD FUSION ABRUPTLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A FEW SECONDS (AROUND 20 SECONDS) AFTER DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, AND AFTERWARDS IT STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ON THE ROAD AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. IT HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AFTER GETTING TWO DIAGNOSES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH THE LOW SIDE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THE FACT THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT TRANSPIRED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM GAVE NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS SAFETY DEFECT IS IN BREACH OF THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT ABRUPTLY STOP ACCELERATING WHILE ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CASUALTIES TO THE OWNER AND NEARBY VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON IS INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT. THIS SAFETY DEFECT REPAIR SHOULD BE REIMBURSED TO OWNERS OF THIS FORD VEHICLE. *JS
