Oil, abs, and traction control lights came on. "service advancedtrac" code on dash. no power steering.
Vehicle was in motion, driving to work in rain and wet road conditions. depressed the brake pedal to slow the vehicle as it was traveling through an intersection with a puddle on the roadway. i felt the abs engage and the brake pedal pulsate. the brake pedal pressure felt firm prior to the abs engaging. vehicle continued to remain in motion when i depressed the brake pedal again to slow the vehicle. this time the brake pedal felt soft and traveled to the floor board before the brakes began to slow the vehicle. the vehicles stopping distance increased significantly. i was able to drive to work and home, but the brake pedal continued to remain soft and did not engage brakes until reaching the floor. i checked for obvious leaks around the brake calibers, with none noted, and the brake fluid level was at the full level in the fluid reservoir. there are no indications of external leaking around the master cylinder. i have scheduled an appointment with the local ford dealership to diagnose the problem. there are no warning lights, abs or others, illuminated on the dashboard before, during or after the brakes became soft and less responsive. originally suspected a master cylinder failure, but now suspect a abs hydraulic control unit or module after reading about similar fault conditions on the internet. the vehicles brake fluid was serviced by firestone about 45 days prior to this fault occurring. i am concerned about this fault because there was no warning of impending failure and the lack of a warning light indication with the fault still present is also troubling. i was able to avoid an accident because traffic was light at the time it had occurred and was able to reduce my speed and increase my following distance to compensate for the increased stopping distance.
Drivers inside door handle broke and unable to exit. required crawling over to passenger door. the outside handle opens. the inside door handle loose and unstable. my vehicle should have been included in recall model/year. the internet is flooded with same complaint problem of ford fusion 2009 2010 and 2011. please my vin car to recall. injury to right knee when crawling over from driver door to passenger door.
Driver's door does not open from inside. and power lock is stacked iin lock position. there is a recall exactly for this purpose on 2013-2017 fusion with the same system than in my 2011 fusion.
While driving, at posted speed, 40mph ....all at once, there was a complete loss of acceleration, a very rough idle to the engine and a wrench icon showed on the dash. i had to quickly pull off to the side of the road. i was able to turn the vehicle off and then when i started the vehicle again the problem seemed to reset and the wrench icon disappeared. i took the vehicle to local mechanic and their computer tools were not able to find anything wrong (codes with a diagnostic check). car seemed to run fine for approximately the next 500 miles and then, while driving on a busier road at 65 mph, the vehicle did the exact same thing, again causing me to need to avoid an accident and pull to the side of the road. i, once again, was able to reset the system by turning the vehicle off and back on. i am very concerned about the safety of this issue and feel that i am now limited only to local travel.
The blower motor connector and blower motor resistor will melt with use, which causes smoking to come from the passenger side flood under the glove box. is not safe and i have replaced 3 times since 2014. it can happen while sitting and driving, does not matter. i have reached out to ford they must not care because i have been told its not their problem, or to get over it.
Faulty driver's side door latch will not open from the inside. the vehicle was parked. after climbing out the passenger side door and walking around the car the driver's door did open from the outside. ford lists a recall for 2013-2014 fusion, but not earlier years. an internet search shows i am not the only 2011 owner with this safety issue.
2011 ford fusion while driving the power steering now and advancetrak warnings came on. took to shop and was told rack and pinion needs to be replaced. wanted to charge me $3000; i pick up my car and it's been working but i am afraid after reading everyone else's issues that this is bad.
When closing the drivers side door it won't latch closed. the door bumps back without closing. it takes at least two attempts to close the door. this started when leaving the vehicle and trying to close the door. it takes several attempts to properly close the door from the inside. i have not driven the vehicle since this started.
Driver side door will not open from the inside it was like the door handle had broken on the inside. in order to open the door i have to press my unlock button and pull the outside door handle multiple times.
The interior door handle of my 2011 ford fusion will not open. not only is this an inconvenience, it's also dangerous. in an accident every second counts. if you can't escape your vehicle the results could be fatal. i researched online and found that the door handle problem is prevalent with 2006-2012 fusions, as evident by the number of complaints. there is even a work around trick posted. the service department at the autonation ford westlake dealership quoted $212.59 to repair my handle. my intake representative quoted the cost of repair without even looking it up because he's processed so many, many repairs. the vehicle manufacturer should voluntarily issue a recall and repair the car
Abs module brake pattle goes all the way down ford knows about it but won't recall it it is a safety issue they won't us too pay close to 1000 dollars to fix it an they knew about it i am looking to resolve this situation almost got in a rear end collision it was in san marcos texas 8-15-2018
Power steering assist failure a/c fail defrost fail turns on & off by itself or just doesnt operate at all anymore tracadvance failure
Driver's side inside door handle stopped working. cannot get out using the drivers door. must climb out passenger's side or roll down window and open from outside. apparently this is a very very common problem. why no recall? this is clearly a safety issue.
My wife upon returning home could not open the driver's door. i had to open from the outside of the car. i later read that this has happened to a number of people and one temporary solution is to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. i also have read that 2010, 2013 and 2014 ford fusions have been recalled for this problem but not 2011. i have however found that a number of owners of 2011 fusions have also had this problem. of course the car was out of gear, turned off, and stationary.
Reported 04/15/17 nhtsa id # 10978640 driver side interior door handle broken. i paid $209.42 at ford dealer to order and replace. the replaced door handle broke again on 02/24/18, not even 1 year later. returned to dealer, advised that part # 6e5z*5422601*a is now in stock due to multiple replacements performed at dealership. since there is a 2 year warranty on part, the replacement was no charge however would like nhtsa to investigate quality of part being installed.
Engine light on, drove to ford dealership and was advised due to work load they could not perform diagnostic scan and to return on monday. drove to private service mechanic, ran diagnostic, report scan code p1450 unable to bleed up tank. replaced purge valve and message did not reappear. i was later informed there was a ford safety recall 15s34 which i never received that was issued. i paid $223.70 for repair which would have been free at ford dealer had i received notice.
I was driving down the road and heard a loud startling explosion sound. the sound scared me and causing me to swerve. i pulled off on the shoulder and noticed that it was my sunroof glass that literally exlode. the glass was shattered and pushed up a bit. the sunroof was not engaged or being used at the time. i had just left work and was on a 2 lane highway. thank goodness there were no other cars around when i swereved. the ford dealership told me they won't fix it. surprising to me being it's a ford vehicle. i have an appt. with a body shop to see if they can fix it.
Airbag signal light on, now off, but hear noise sometime i bought this car last october, 2 recalls are incomplete.
I was driving on freeway when i noticed a odor for about five minutes before it got worse, once i pulled over to check it and let the windows down the oder got stronger. i've had this happened a couple of times but didn't think it was my car.
My drivers side door latch broke, not allowing me to exit the car unless you put the window down prior to turning off the car. i had it repaired under my extened warrenty hawever that would have cost 126. this should be a recall
I have been dealing with front end issues that have had my 2011 ford fusion in the shop 6 times for the front end allignment problems in the past 6 months. i have had the upper and lower control arms repaired and in less than 3 months ago, again i'm in need of a front end alignment the front toe is out again. i have not had any help getting to the bottom of these alignment issues.
I was driving about to make a right turn when power steering assist fault displayed on the dashboard then my wheel was hard to turn... i pulled over to the gas station to get power steering fluid can't find the reservoir to add fluid called ford dealership in stone wall to ask if this have anything to do with the recalls because i came in for my recalls that specified power steering he says that not the same problem i have..i want to know it he's correct also few months before this pulled into at gas station car will not shift to park had to manually put it in park once in park it will shift to reverse and drive but will not go in park what can that b?, and is it something we need to pay to fix ?
My car is airbag light doesn't come on.
Driver's side interior door latch failed. cannot exit vehicle without rolling down drivers side window and opening exterior door handle.
2011 ford fusion driver side door wont open from inside when stationary on 7/24/2017 out of nowhere the drivers side door would not open from the inside i have looked up this complaint and multiple people have reported the same issue with this model car. ford did a recall for 2010 and 2013-2014 models but not for the 2011 models. when you go pull the door handle the door doesn't open and i have to roll the window down and open the door with the outside handle. i took it to the ford dealership on 7/26/2017 to get fixed and the person that helped said they have seen this multiple other times with the same model vehicle. why has this issue not been looked into? i'm requesting a refund of the amount of the bill which was $257 dollars, if i need to provided any additional information please email me.
The latch on the passenger side door will not function, causing the door to fly open when driving the vehicle. even when closed and locked, when you open the drivers side door, the door unlocks an door opens. it is currently at ford to be fixed. there has been previous recalls on the 2013 fusion, and this car is not listed as a recall??? seems like the same problem to me, and it is costly to fix! currently at the ford dealership in delaware.
2011 ford fusion owner: possible weld issues on the lower control arms causing the noise concerns and require repair for the lower control arms from manufacturer. it may be the jounce bumper rubbing against dry strut plate causing an abrasion noise from the strut area - big assumption here. noise happens in warmer months over 50 degrees and gets quiet on colder days. it also get quieter driving over 60 mph. whatever it is, the swollen parts are extremely noisy, extremely, and concerning. from research, this issue maybe happening to 2006-2015 ford fusion vehicles. a few hundred fusion owners have complained here about this same issue: https://repairpal.com/squeaks-and-creaks-over-bumps-and-turning-235. it is costing hundreds of dollars for owners to attempt a fix with no results. i am writing as i would like results after owning my car 2 years with this horrible condition taking place. this is worth a recall. thank you.
When i turn or go over bumps the car makes a loud squeeking/grinding noise. this started to occur after my power steering assist was replaced a month ago. several reviews also state this is a very expensive fix. my car only has 60k miles on it for a 2011. this is completely unacceptable!
Takata recall ac/heat continues to go out randomly. ac/heat/defroster is not working. have to manually lock each door upon exit of vehicle because automatic switch not working, the car shutdown and i cant enter the vehicle at times the key will not open my car door, i had to enter my car through the trunk at 3a. engines problems, electrical problems, back tail/brake light continues to go out often, and other issues. sometimes key wont turn in the ignition and brakes lock up.
Door handles do not open from the inside at all. the only way out is to roll the windows down and open from the outside. this happens all the time, other ford models have been recalled for the same issue. it is all the time, it doesn't matter if you're parked or driving the doors will not open at all from the inside.
Car was turned off and parked in driveway when i realized that the driver side door would not open. the inside handle was inoperable and to exit the vehicle i had to climb across console and passenger seat. the car was driven to ford dealer where mechanic verified after removing interior door panel the door handle assembly was cracked. the repair cost without tax was $209.42 which included part #6e5z*5422601*a @ $61.07 and labor @ $139.95. while waiting for my repair another customer bought their new ford fusion in for the same issue which led me to question service advisor and sales manager who both advised there were no recall issue with interior door handles.
My driver side door will not open from the inside. this is a safety hazard because if something were to happen where i need to get out of the car fast such as a fire or anything i cant do so. my car was parked. i got out & when i tried to get back in i couldn't. i had to crawl from the passenger side to unlock the door, but it would not open from the inside.
When i put fuel in my car it starts to act janky not wanting to start or anything , also it's showing a recall on the vehicle
My 2011 ford fusion had a safety malfunction recently where the drivers side door handle became inoperable. the same part that has malfunctioned and keeping me from safely exiting my vehicle has been recalled on various ford models and has been overlooked for the one i own although it has the same part. estimated cost of repair will be roughly $100 including labor and ford has refused to cover the cost of repair per ford's customer service department. i have filed a complaint with ford and was given the reference number cas11929128. i would like a solution soon as i do not currently have the finds for the repair.
My door latch broke on the car. my teenager got in the car and the door wouldn't close. i couldn't ride home with it in that condition. i see it's a common problem with fords, but my year of fusion is not on any recall list. it definitely should be because that is a very real safety issue.
Driver door inside handle inoperative. unable to exit vehicle without opening driver side window and opening door. the same problem happened to my 2008 fusion. this should be a recall notice from ford and not normal wear and tear.
I am unsure if my car was included in the air bag recall that i found via google, i was never notified for several recalls involving my car. now the ford dealership has informed me that there is an issue with my car as well as several others of the same make and model with code issues. these code issues cause the power steering to fail without warning and cause loss of control as well as something involving service advancetrac. ford has told me they can reset each time the code messes up but at this time ford has not ordered a recall and they will contact them to let them know. what am i to do? this is very dangerous!

The driver's side front door latch does not work. i have to either roll the driver's side window down and open door from outside or climb out on passenger side. also i have to manually open (with key) or lock front driver side door.
I parked my vehicle and went to open my doors and the driver and passenger sides doers would not open from the inside. i had to proceed to unlock the door manually and roll the window down, place my arm out the window to open the door from the outside. the passenger had to do the same for their door as well. we are both senior citizens with disabilities. are there any recalls on this issue? i'm concerned for the safety and well being of me and any passengers that happen to be in the vehicle in the case of an accident where as i have to exit the vehicle in an emergency.
The drivers side exterior door does not work. i know 2 other cars with the same issue. it just goes out. i notice that there is a recall for 2012 ford fusions not 2011. this is a serious hazard if there is a fire in the car or an accident you are not able to get out of the car. very dangerous and clearly unsafe
While driving the car, it shuts off. this happens without warning, loss of power steering, loss of everything. turned off ignition and restarted. took to dealership and was unable to duplicate the problem.
My ford fusion was parked and i suddenly am unable to open the drivers side door from the inside. i have to lower the window all the way and stick my arm out to open from the outside handle. my windows are electronic and freeze shut in the winter (mn resident) making me unable to open the door at all from the inside. i will be unable to get out of my vehicle in the winter and could be trapped in an accident or vehicle fire and unable to get out and help my children.
Takata recall my 2011 ford fusion has been the worse this week. i was taking a road trip to pick up my niece from basic training graduation, i was driving down a busy interstate going about 70mph, when all of a sudden my car decelerate while i was in the fast lane, the wrench light came on. the trouble i had trying to move my car over 3 lanes was very life threatening!! i thank god nothing happened, but i was so close to getting hit several times, i was in tears!! the only thing i could do was turn the car off and then restart it, the engine light stayed on. on my 10 hour adventure that day, this happened 8 different times. apparently this issue is with the throttle body. this is pathetic of ford to not get this fixed!
Driver's side door handle can not open the door. the door locks work, the door opens from the outside, but not from the inside. the car was not in motion, first noticed in a parking lot.
Takata recall. i was unable to open driver's door from the inside. took it to my ford dealer. they found a broken inner door handle. i was parked when that happened. it cost me $217.83 to get it repaired. isn't this a recall? if not, it should be!
Squeaking noise coming from front axle (mostly on driver side) while driving and turning; sounds the most when outside temperature is higher (not so loud on cool days). took it to dealer that sold the car (today 04/25/2016) to have suspension and power steering checked. i see online there are recalls on some ford fusion power steering? my vin is not listed.
Both front seat, internal door latches have broken. the driver's side went first, followed by the passenger side, both received only normal use. now, to exit the vehicle, the window must be rolled down and the door opened from the outside latch, or a two-hand technique can be learned to open from the inside. this prevents speedy egress in the event of an emergency situation i.e. floods, fires, etc. the car currently has 72863 miles but this problem occurred more than a year or two ago.
