Recalls and investigations

  1. Power train, manual transmissionJun 9, 2026

    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Focus and 2013-2016 Fusion vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall numbers 18V169 and 18V845. The clutch may fracture, resulting in damage to the transmission assembly and possibly a transmission fluid leak.

    A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.

    Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Additionally, dealers will inspect Focus vehicles and replace the clutch assembly as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed August 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available.

    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. The front brake hoses may rupture and leak brake fluid.

    A brake fluid leak will increase brake pedal travel and extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Dealers will replace the front brake hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S12.

  3. Power train, automatic transmission, gear position indication (prndl)Jun 10, 2022

    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

    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.

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.

Representative owner complaints: electrical system

121 reports, newest first. Show all

  1. Electrical system, Air bags, Jul 4, 2021

    Randomly and without warning, the entire climate control system shuts off as well as the entire center console. The only message during this period is "temporarily lost communication with climate control". When all this shuts off, the drivers side controls for the windows becomes inoperative as well as the passenger side lock/unlock button. This renders a safety hazard because during times of heat and cold it becomes impossible to run the climate control or roll the windows down for any air movement. Also an extreme hazard is the passenger is unable to unlock the doors in even of an emergency. Occasionally when this happens, the air bag light will illuminate, causing unknown safety hazards in that aspect. I have contacted the dealership and was told it sounds like a potentially faulty computer module, or faulty wiring that could cost thousands to repair. The issue occurs 80% of the time the car is in operation and seems to happen more on hot days where it becomes critical to have air movement/AC.

  2. Electrical system, Jun 26, 2021

    Battery dies suddenly. No crank no start.

  3. Suspension, Electrical system, Jun 25, 2021

    I just bought a new Battery. And I keep getting no crank no start. Rear suspension keeps squeaking as if it's not lubricated.

  4. Electrical system, Equipment, Jun 10, 2021

    Dashboard shows "temporarily lost connection with climate system". When displayed, the air conditioning system (cold or heat) works. Other functions on dash board are also unavailable. Windows or door locks do not work. Considerable safety concern for all but especially a vehicle transporting young children and/or infants. Summer heats rise to unbearable to dangerous to deadly if not addressed. Ford apparently has no fix but the issue is well documented amongst Ford owners. Unsure why this isn't a recall option given the nature and number of concerns. any help at all would be appreciated. While I provide today's date that it occurred, i share the problem has been ongoing for several years. It is on and off with the only consistent indication being when it is hot outside.

  5. Steering, Electrical system, Apr 6, 2021

    FOR NO REASON AT ALL THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT NEEDS SERVICED CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAS NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD VEHICLES MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100000 MILES ON IT. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN IT HAPPENS OR ANY WARNING. COULD MAKE A CAR CRASH A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY.

  7. Steering, Electrical system, Jan 14, 2021

    MY VEHICLE'S BATTERY DRAINED OUT BECAUSE WE HADN'T BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE MUCH DUE TO COVID STAY-HOME ORDERS IN MICHIGAN AND STAYING AT HOME OVER THE HOLIDAYS. WE ROLLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND JUMP STARTED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY, THEN LET IT RUN FOR AN HOUR TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY RATHER THAN DRIVING IT BECAUSE OUR POWER STEERING AND ADVANCE TRAC WERE SHOWING FAULT MESSAGES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGES DIDN'T GO AWAY AFTER WE TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. WE EVEN LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND TRIED THE NEXT MORNING. THE MESSAGES ARE AS FOLLOWS: LOW BATTERY FEATURES TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC THERE ARE ALSO TWO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING A CAR SKIDDING, ONE WITH THE TEXT "OFF" UNDER IT. I BELIEVE THESE ARE THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR STEERING PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEMS HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CAR-RECALLS-DEFECTS/FORD-RECALLS-SEDANS-AND-SUVS-STEERING-PROBLEM/ HTTP://WWW.FORDPROBLEMS.COM/EPAS/ I CONTACTED FORD TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE. THERE DON'T SEEM TO BE ANY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE'S VIN. THEY SUGGESTED I TRY TURNING IT OFF AND TURNING IT ON AGAIN (A "KEY CYCLE") TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET, WHICH I HAVE DONE A FEW TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY THEN SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING SO DIFFICULT TO TURN, SO WILL NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED. I ALSO I FEAR I COULD BE EXPENSIVE TO GET THIS FIXED IF FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SERVICE ISSUE. I THOUGHT I SHOULD DOCUMENT THIS IN CASE OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THIS IS IN FACT A SYSTEMATIC ISSUE, NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.

    I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY 2015 FORD FUSION. THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I ALSO CANNOT USE ANY OF MY 4 WINDOWS, THE RADIO, LOCK THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE, AND NOW MY OUTSIDE LIGHTS WONT ALWAYS TURN ON. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THIS HAPPENS MORE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. I HAVE TWO TODDLERS AND WE TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE FAIRLY REGULARLY. WHAT HAPPENS IF ITS A HOT SUMMER DAY, THE AC SHUTS OFF AND I CANT ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY CHILDREN? 6/19/2020 I HAD A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT ONE HOUR AWAY AND THIS HAPPENED TO ME; LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH. I OFTEN WORK EVENINGS AND NIGHTS, HALF AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. I CAN'T DRIVE WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. THERE IS 0 PATTERN IN THESE ISSUES SO I CANNOT PINPOINT WHAT EXACTLY TRIGGERS THIS. PULLING OVER AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, TAKING THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND WAITING FOR ALL ELECTRICITY TO SHUT OFF BEFORE RESTARTING THE CAR DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAD TO BRING MY CAR IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS, EACH TIME BEING TOLD "NOTHING FOUND THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR" UNTIL I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY, MADE A COMPLAINT, AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER, AND AM NOW BEING TOLD THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SYSTEM IS "SHOT". THE MORE I RESEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT THESE ISSUES, THE MORE I SEE OTHER'S MAKING SAME/SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE. *TR

I CALLED WHEN THEY REOPENED ON 6/6 TO SCHEDULE IT TO BE FIXED WHICH THEY AGREED TO HAVE IT READY BY 6/8, UNFORTUNATELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THAT SAME AFTERNOON ON 6/6 THE CARS ENGINE DIED AND I MANAGED TO COAST THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A RANDOM PARKING LOT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SALES MAN AND I QUOTE HE SAID 'IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR AND THAT HE WAS ALREADY TRACKING ME ON GPS' SO I WAS TOLD TO LOCK THE KEYS IN THE CAR AND IT WOULD BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE READY BY 6/8. FAST FORWARD TO THE AFTERNOON OF 6/8, I CALL THE DEALERSHIP A HOUR BEFORE GETTING OFF WORK AT 3:30PM TO VERIFY IT WOULD BE READY BY 5 AND TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNSURE IF THEY HAD THE CAR TO BEGIN WITH AND WAS PUT ON HOLD TILL THE PHONE CALL DROPPED FROM THEIR END. I CALLED BACK AGAIN AND WAS MET WITH A VOICEMAIL SO I LEFT IT ALONE AND TRIED TO GET INFORMATION AGAIN ON 6/10. THIS TIME THE SALES MAN SAID IT WASN'T HIS PROBLEM AND TO CALL THE OFFICE FOR SERVICE BUT AFTER BEING FORWARDED TO VOICEMAIL MULTIPLE TIMES I DEMANDED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER. I TELL THE MANAGER I'M AWARE IT'S ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR WITHOUT A HORN AND THAT I'VE BEEN DUPED SO I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND HIS ANSWER WAS NO THAT HE ALREADY RECEIVED MONEY FROM A BANK ON MY BEHALF. I TOLD HIM HE HAD TILL THE END OF 6/10 TO GIVE ME A ANSWER ON WHEN IT WOULD BE READY OR I WOULD GET A LAWYER SO HIS ANSWER WAS NO MATTER WHAT HE WOULD CALL ME BY 5PM THAT DAY WITH A STATUS UPDATE BUT HE NEVER CALLED. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANY STRAIGHT ANSWER OR EVEN A MANAGER ON THE PHONE AND IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 WEEKS.
