One of them was the seatbelt, door unlatching while in drive, got one today for my coolant could start on fire just stupid shit what’s next omg.. should I buy a chevy
Hahahaha!!! Buy a chevy?? Wow.. your funny!!
Yeah very strong in sarcasm
What was the seatbelt recall about? My back seat middle belt locked when the back seat was down and wouldn’t release. Had to cut it to release and use the other 2 seats
I traded mine in for a chevy. Lol seriously!
Had 3 fusions over the last 7 years and only recall I’ve had is the current one for the seatbelt.
What year?
2013
Mines a 14. I’m guessing bad luck? Gotta figure 1 out of every so many has trouble.
Then again if you bought used previous owner could’ve beat the hell out of it which wouldn’t help the situation
Man… haha.. ugh!! I bought a loaner car that ford used then they have to put them up for sale after 2 years
I see nothing special from the 2017 from my 2013…. other than the fresh car smell
The 2017 has much larger depreciation.
Unfortunately when you buy the first year of any car there are usually some kinks that have to be worked out. All manufacturers have recalls.
Is that when they switched body style
13 was the first year of the new style, yes. And honestly most vehicles won’t experience the issues, but it’s best to have all of them fixed.
I think my tranny is slipping anyways… when I get up n go it jurks
Typical ?
That’s kind of how they shift. I hear the aftermarket tunes help. If it’s a 2-3 or 4-5 shift issue I have had good luck replacing the SSB to help.
First I thought it was my shoes and when i push down i drive different but I guess not
What Phil said
SSB?
What is ssb??
Shift Solenoid B.
Thats what i have been told
Ashley Johnson I’ve been told that Z max can improve Tranny performance & fix the issue!
No, it will not. A converter shudder maybe.
God looking for the right car is like finding the right man that doesn’t lie hahahahaha there all the same haha damn fords
Now,now not all men there’s a.few.good ones left for ya:p
Bahahahahahahaha
I’m currently available lol:)
I’m not
Just my luck….lol oh well
Why doesn’t your page say you’re in a relationship then lol??
That what you say to any guy.you don’t like ? Not.a.single pic.of.any boyfriend on your page shame…..
Hahaha yeah good one cuz I have it set that way
F..O..R..D…Fix Or Repair Daily LOL
Stop it hahahahaha
First On Race Day
For out running duds
Flip Over Read Directions
98% of all Ford’s are still on the road, the other 2% made it home
If it was a loaner car from the dealer than tons of techs, salesman, detail workers you name it they’ve driven it. It was beat down before you bought it, even if it was super low miles that’s just what dealership folks do half the time.
Oh well get whatchya pay for ..right ugh!!
If you are receiving recall notices, it means Ford is looking after safety issues which is important for you and your family. “During the past six years, the CEOs of General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen — the world’s three largest automakers — all testified before congressional committees to defend decisions tied to safety lapses, fatal accidents and cheating on emissions testing.” -Chicago Tribune. There are more recalls on all vehicles throughout the auto industry than ever before, but at least Ford is looking after their product without being taken before a congressional committee.
Oh my
Look on http://carcomplaints.com/ that tells you recalls and safety issues for most vehicles.
My 2013 was a piece of crap. Replaced my engine in August amd just now got a recall on the damn thing after i traded it in 2 weeks ago.
Hahaha oh no
Sucks! I paid out of pocket for my engine.
Hey I’m doing my engine right now. Haha. Ford is covering mine though
Yeah i wasn’t so lucky. I got the recall in the mail today. Traded it in 2 weeks ago.
What happen to the engine?
It overheated, head cracked and flooded the engine..
You should see the recalls hyundai/kia have right now…. count your blessings
Kia especially.
Our dealership does ford gm kia and vw. Kia just unleashed a 1.5 million car recall for bad engines.. last 2 months the kia boys behind me have done 1 engine a week for bad oiling or holes in the block. And that was BEFORE the recall
My boyfriends dad has a soul and he’s constantly dumping oil in that thing. Sad part is, he’s only had it 5 years and is almost out of warranty!
Yea they blow out oil pan, valve cover, and front cover gaskets pretty bad.
I have come to find out the hard way that the 2013 ford fusion ecoboost 1.6L engines are the worst to own. Stay away from them.
How many miles were on yours when your engine went? I’ve had mine since ’14 and only had the safety recalls on it.
94,xxx
Went out with no warning. I got my recall yesterday for it
1.6l is only offered as ecoboost. My parents have the exact same thing as well. Have 85k on it now with absolutely no issues to speak of
My engine went out at 94,xxx miles.. no issues prior. Then it overheated at random and cracked the head. Just got my recall today for this issue. I traded it 2 weeks ago. I had to pay out of pocket bc the factory warrenty ran out at 75,xxx miles
I could never own a car and let the warranty run out
I bought it “used” so It was sold as is.
I extended the warranty on my 08 twice lol
I didn’t have that choice on mine.
Ouch^ those sold as is deals can sometimes screw ya
Yeah your telling me. That car ruined me from my favorite car. I loved my car until it tore up. And just before i traded it the heater core busted or something.. no warning
Fixed it and then traded it for a 2007 tahoe.
NEVER heard if tgose heater cores going bad… we just had one in the other day too with over 160k it was a 13 1.6l. You may have gotten a car that was brought out of salvage or had damage never reported. We had a flood vehicle like that im once. Took 6 return trips before everything was replaced to make it right again
Idk. I have the carfax. It was a commercial vehicle though and was maintained.
Something just isnt right about it. Too many bad items that pretty well never go bad
Yeah.. too much thats why i got rid of it.
Smart.
Yep. Now i got this? i am pleased
Those come in the shop a lot too. Lots of bearings seals trannies and op switches. Good luck to you!
Yeah but my husband can work on this and its a bit cheaper on part cost then the fusion was.
Watch the oil…. just a heads up. They can eat lifters if you drop the ball.
Got it. Thank you! ?
I have a 2014 fusion not one problem…..would never buy anything but a Ford……i have a the smallest eco boost. It is GREAT
I have a 2010 and have yet to receive a recall!
My 2015 titanium ecoboost treats me well.
$$$$
More like $$$$$
I had my own post and its mainly the 2013’s with the 1.6L engines that have the most issues
I have a 2014 SE only recall I’ve received so far is for the seat belts, knock on wood !?
knock harder, just to be sure
Haha right ??
I’ve had 1 with my 2011 and it was Ford floor mats, but I didn’t have their brand in my car so it was discarded
Shit im on my…… shit i ran out of fingers
Mines a 13 as well
Mine was too
Supply and demand. Cars used to be 30-40K a year, now it’s double if not triple.
Shit happens but at least they fix it.
They didn’t fix mine. I did out of pocket and then they send out a damn recall today..
Did anyone have one for airbags?
Oh yeah that too
Yeah my 08 has that recall and its been about 2 years since i recieved my letter. I still havent received my comfirmation letter saying my parts are available…
Just cuz there are recalls doesn’t mean your car is a dud. Only that there is suspected faulty parts being put on cars when yours was being build. I’m sure half the recalls that ppl get have no repairs ever even made.. if you’ve had no real problems besides the company making sure what they sold you is safe I wouldn’t worry much…
Lol
That’s why you wait a year or two and never buy the first year of a new gen. This goes for every car brand not just ford.
Could be worse they could not have recalls and you could pay out of pocket. Recalls are free
They didn’t recall mine at the time it happened. I had to pay out of poctet and now i don’t have the damn car anymore since i traded it 2 weeks ago. Do i get reimburse?? Probably not. I get screwed!
Just got the recall yesterday
I’d fight it call Ford tell them if they don’t you’ll never buy another ford
I am gonna try to. I have receipts from the new engine and hopefully they will comply and pay us back.
Mine is over the engine overheating and cracking the head and causing a fire. Mine did exactly this but didn’t catch fire. Cost me 2 towing bills and parts costs.
The problem is circled and highlighted blue from the factory
