Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion hybrid. while driving 10 mph, the check brake warning indicator illuminated. when the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes failed to engage. the contact stated that the vehicle was eventually able to stop after depressing the brake pedal to the floorboard. prior to the failure, the brakes were applied and worked fine. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it test driven. the mechanic discovered that there were no brakes. the vehicle was towed to garnet ford (1610 wilmington pike, west chester, pa 19382 (610) 358-5600) where it was diagnosed that rodents chewed the body harness, which needed replacement. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. the contact researched the failure online and found out the wires were made with a soy material that attracted rodents. the failure mileage was 45,711. updated 11/01/17*lj please work with ford and other car makers to eliminate soy products from wires!! updated 9/7/18*jb
My 2015 ford fusion hybrid had 11,000 miles on it. i opened my garage door and got in to go to work and car was dead. no electrical response. called ford road service and car was dragged out of my garage and onto a flat bed and taken to my dealership. car has been in shop for a week now and still no diagnosis. no matter what they do, the car is drawing power when it is turned off and kills the battery in 2 hours. they are working with ford system wide and no one has seen this type of fault yet. to me it seems to be some kind of software fault but per ford troubleshooting, they have to tear my car apart and check every wire and fuse before looking at the software issues. this is my first hybrid and i am questioning my decision.
