I own a 2012 ford fusion se 6 cylinder this vehicle has a major safety hazard. my passenger side rtail light continues to blow and the most recent incident occurred last week when i noticed a burning smell. i have been replacing this tail light every six months for the past two years and it has caused melting around the light socket and the bulb is clearly burnt. after googling this issue i have seen numerous complaints about the same issue with the 2012 ford fusion and a recall needs to be issued immediately or i am going to the public. this can kill someone and start a fire especially if the blaze gets out of hand and children are in the backseat strapped in. please email me [xxx] regarding if you are having a similar concern so i can compile this and go public because they have received several complaints and not done anything to remedy this issue. this is clearly an electrical issue and ford and the nthsa need to step it up and save lives before it's too late. here are links to similar issues http://www.fixya.com/cars/t16277316-2012_ford_fusion_rear_turn_signal_still ...

I have been having electrical problems since i purchased the car in 2012. currently, my horn does not work as well as other electrical components of my car. another example, would be my seat belt, which has been an ongoing issue.the service provider at ford told me to let my car run a little,. and then it would work. so far, still having the same issue. at this time, with my horn not working, it is a safety issue, as i have almost gotten into 3 accidents thus far, i have contacted the ford ceo and karen johnson, another executive of ford and have not heard anything from either one of them. i need my car fixed as all these issues are safety related and each day that i drive with the concerns, put myself and my family in danger.

I was driving my 2012 ford fusion to work one day when suddenly i got an alert reading "service power steering now" and was no longer able to use my power steering which made turning extremely difficult. i was on a highway and had to pull over and park in the closest fuel station.

Driver side door will not open from the inside. when inside the vehicle the door handle feels loose and moves freely when pulling but the door will not open. you can open the door from the outside.

I was going 55 miles an hour on busy street in florida, all of sudden car was getting no gas, had to pull over, shut off car and restart, this has happened twice, very spuratic, very dangerous, had it towed to executive auto, they could not find anything, and could not get it to fail again. do not trust it

Vehicle was stationary when power steering went out and advance trac. dealership fails to acknowledge why they advise a new power steering rack and new control arms. was told control arms are seizing up putting too much stress on the power steering and shortening it out. why not perform the recall work first to see if it fixes it rather than propose almost $4,000 worth of repairs? the recall i'm referring to is 15v340 and 15s18

If my car sits for more than three days, the battery is dead. i've taken it into the dealer multiple times (at least 5 or more times, now i just live with the problem, since it's no longer under warranty). the ford dealership said they couldn't find any issues. all they did, is recharge the battery a few times and eventually, replaced the battery. even with the newer battery, it still has the same problem: dead battery after three days. if i charge the battery up to 100%, twenty-four hours later, the % rate has dropped about 35%, down to level of 65-67%. it's down this since i bought the car when it was new. *tr

Blower motor and resisters over heating and shorting out. needs replacing

I started my car, backed out of the driveway and my steering wheel wouldnt turn. an alert popped up on the dash saying "power steering assist fault" and i could not turn the steering wheel at all. i restarted thr car, all seemed fine. as i was driving, down the street towards the stop sign, it happened again.

Power steering assist fault came up last night out of nowhere when i went to drive home at night in the rain. i was stationary when it came on and its happened once before but i turned my car off then back on and it went back to normal. this time i tried the same thing but it never cleared itself and i'm currently driving it with no power steering because i needed to go to work. very dangerous and a major inconvenience.

Starting my car every morning, and the power steering doesn't work. i turn the car off and start it again to get it to work. took it in for recall once already. . fan won't work at all, just smells hot. for ac, heater, and defrost.

When driving my 2012 ford fusion sel awd, the power steering will (at random) cease to function and causes extreme difficulty in steering. it is nearly impossible to pull over safely. at speed this is an extremely dangerous and terrifying event. the lights for the traction control system, the power steering system, and occasionally the advance trac system come on. it is not always all of the lights all of the time, and the errors vary. i have had it looked at and the codes read, and the problem persists. i need this fixed as i have two small children that i refuse to allow to ride in the car as i'm afraid for their safety. it strands me at random at work and at school an hour from home as well. upon cranking the lights for power steering failures come on and i have to sit and wait on a ride. this is unacceptable. someone needs to fix this problem as every time i have called multiple ford dealerships, they give me a runaround explaining there is no recall for this issue. this is unacceptable because the internet is rife with posters have the same exact issues i am ...
