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.

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 Ford or Lincoln dealers will replace the side door latches, free of charge. The recall began September 21, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S15.

Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 4, 2018
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TO GIVE IT A LOT OF GAS AS I'M STARTING IT FOR IT TO START. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK IT WOULD NOT IDLE SMOOTHLY IF I WAS AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE AROUND 1/4 TANK OF GAS. AGAIN, I'VE STARTED PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS WHILE I'M STOPPED TO KEEP THE IDLE SMOOTH. I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THE PURGE VALVE ASSEMBLY TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS DEVICE IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT WHEN IT COMES IN, WHENEVER THAT IS. HOWEVER I'M LEFT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 35MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS NOT LOW ON GAS. I HAD JUST UNDER 1/2 TANK. LUCKILY THERE WAS MINIMAL TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO START IT ONLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS AS SOON AS I HIT START. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN. I'M CONCERNED I'LL PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE WILL DIE. OR I'LL BE ON THE HIGHWAY JUST DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL DIE. IF EITHER OF THOSE OCCUR, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME OR MY KIDS.

WRENCH LIGHT IS ON ONCE I START THE CAR (STILL IN PARK) IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 50 FEET AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ONCE I HIT THE GAS TO ACCELERATE MY CAR DOES NOT GO FORWARD AND IF IT DOES IT WILL SLOWLY JUT FORWARD, REPEATS THIS ACTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ONCE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNS OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE SEPERATE TIMES ABOUT TWO TO THREE MONTHS APART EACH TIME. FORD CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. VERY SCARY TO TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR CAR IS GOING TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED (ABOUT 10 MPH) IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUT OFF. AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS STALLING OR JUTTING FORWARD, AND THEN THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO PARK, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF ONCE MORE AS I WAS EXITING. I PARKED THE CAR, WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A CAR SHOP IN WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS AS A DAY LATER THEY WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT PERFECTLY NORMALLY. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO.

FORD'S RECALL # IS 17S09. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH THE DEALERS FINDINGS AND WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE ENGINE IS CURRENTLY TORN APART WITH A VERY LARGE LABOR BILL ALREADY AND NOW A NEW ENGINE IS NEEDED FOR A DEFECT IN THE WAY IT WAS BUILT. CURRENTLY WITHOUT A CAR AND A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THIS MODEL YEAR HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE CURRENT RECALL. PLEASE HELP!
