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 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.

I PULL TO THE STORE TO CHECK MY COOLANT LEVEL WHICH WAS A LITTLE UNDER MAXIMUM LINE. I STARTED THE CAR BUT COULDN'T NOT GET IT TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND THIS TIME BUT BEING TOWED THIS TIME AND THE COMPANY SAID IT WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK INSIDE THE MOTOR DAMAGING MY CORD AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN.

RECALL # 18S20: HELLO THERE MY SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING WHICH HAS BEEN NAMED IN A RECALL FAILED LAST THURSDAY. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR GOT STUCK IN PARK, HOWEVER THE CAR WAS ROLLING AND THE DISPLAY SAID THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SURE ENOUGH THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS VISIBLE AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I GOOGLED A PICTURE OF THE PART JUST TO CONFIRM AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WHITE PIECES AND CORROSION THAT WERE LEFT BEHIND WERE REMNANTS OF THE CABLE BUSHING WHICH LOOKS LIKE A WHITE BEAD. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 18S20 AND THE NOTICE INSTRUCTS ME TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. I CONTACTED TWO LOCAL FORD DEALERS AS INSTRUCTED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN ITS AVAILABLE AND THE HAVE NO ETA ON PART AVAILABILITY, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE WHILE I AM WAITING. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN AND I HAVE TO WORK AND CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL AND THERE ARE NO LOANER CARS BEING OFFERED. I HAVE TWO JOBS AND I HAD TO RESIGN FROM ONE JOB DUE TO THE INCONVENIENCE AS THE HOURS ARE LATE AND THERE ISN'T ANY TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE AFTER A CERTAIN TIME.

THE CARS CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT WILL FLASH & BEEP, AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NEITHER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR NOR THE GAS/HYBRID ENGINE WILL ENGAGE AND DRIVE. TURNING OFF AND ON THE CAR DOES NOT RESET IT... IT TAKES REPEAT EFFORT AND SEVERAL MINUTES (ONCE OVER 10 MINUTES) TO BE ABLE TO START UP. CAN'T IMAGINE IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON A FREEWAY AGAIN WITH A CHILD OR MY OTHER HALF IN THE CAR! SCARY! TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY LUCK DIAGNOSING OR FIXING THE ISSUE... WE NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE THIS IS INSANE. NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DOING IT AGAIN. FORD NOR ANY DEALER SHOP CAN HELP FIX THIS. THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE IT, THE ISSUE IS SPORADIC WHICH MAKES IT WORSE & MORE TERRIFYING TO EXPERIENCE. SO FAR 4 OCCURRENCES WITHIN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. ABOUT 10 + OVER THE 3 YEARS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THE LIGHTS ALWAYS RESET BY THE TIME WE MAKE IT TO A DEALER LOT. THEIR SYSTEMS CANNOT TROUBLE SHOOT ANYTHING AT THAT POINT!

IN OCTOBER 2017 MY FUSION STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES (THREE VARIOUS DAYS AND ONE DAY 15 MINUTES BETWEEN STALLS) AND AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 4TH. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH; FOUR TIMES ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE IN A PARKING LOT. IN EACH CASE I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (1/2 HOUR OR SO). WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE AWAY THE CAR WOULD START NORMALLY AND THEN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND MOVING IT WOULD START TO SPUTTER AND SHAKE AND THEN STALL OUT. IN EACH CASE NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I WOULD WAIT A FEW SECONDS, PRESS THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK A FEW TIMES, AND THEN IT WOULD START. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I RAN A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT AND NOTHING WAS NOTED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. IN DOING RESEARCH, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTION THROTTLE BODY.
