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 ...
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

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.
