2013 Ford FUSION problems and owner complaints

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY 65-MPH THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL STARTS ACTING UP AS IF YOU ARE TURNING ON AND OFF THE KEY. THEY FOUND A LOSE WIRE TO THE INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER ON THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK SIX TIMES AND NOW THE DASHBOARD SHUTS DOWN AND I LOSE LIGHTS, SIGNALS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC FEATURES. I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES IN BETWEEN. THEY OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY??? IT IS A SHAME THAT A CONSUMER WHO BUYS A CAR FROM A DEALER…

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS AT 35-40MPH, THE TRANSMISSION ERRATICALLY SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE ENGINE RPMS TO NEAR INSTANTANEOUSLY TO GO FROM 1750-2000RPMS TO JUST OVER 4000RPMS. THROUGH THE RPM INCREASE THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED THE PREVIOUS 35-40MPH SPEED. ULTIMATELY, WAS FORCED TO BRAKE TO BRING THE ENGINE RPMS DOWN. *TR

WHILE CRUISING AT ABOUT 45MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED, THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHILE IDLING, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING ABNORMALLY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, ONCE AT 40MPH CRUISING, AND ONCE AT ABOUT 65MPH ACCELERATING. ALL THREE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED ABOUT 200 MILES APART. ALL THREE TIMES I WAS (BARELY) ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE CAR TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL TO TURN OVER. PREVIOUS TO THIS, THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM OVERDRIVE …

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE 12 VOLT BATTERY HAS DIED WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE. THE FUSION ENERGI TITANIUM WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 10 DAYS AND THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED THE BATTERY AFTER RUNNING EXTENSIVE TESTS. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS TOTALLY DISABLED AND HAS TO BE JUMPED. THIS ISSUE TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS VERY HOT OUTSIDE OR THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE SUN. THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FANS WILL RUN WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN YOU POWER OFF THE CAR. *TR

THE FORD FUSION FUEL TANK IN MY 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE DOES NOT FILL ALL THE WAY. IT IS DOCUMENTED AS A 16.5 GALLON TANK, HOWEVER EVEN RUNNING TO EMPTY I AM ONLY ABLE TO FILL 12-13 GALLONS. TO ME, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A 3-4 GALLON "RESERVE". I AM NOT SURE IF IT'S THE TANK ITSELF, OR IF IT'S FAULTY HARDWARE CAUSING VAPOR TO BE TRAPPED AND THE SYSTEM THINKING IT'S FULL WHEN IT IS IN FACT NOT. THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IS AN ISSUE IF YOU ARE THINKING YOU HAVE MORE GAS THAN YOU ACTUALLY DO. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY GAS TANK SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR SINCE OCT 2012. WHEN I FILL UP, THE CAR SOMETIMES FILLS ALL THE WAY ON THE GAUGE, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. IF IT DOES IT DROPS FROM FULL TO HALF A QUARTER BY 10-20 MILES. ALSO, IVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FILL UP TO AROUND 16 GALLONS. THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 16.5 GALLON FUEL TANK. I RUN THE CAR TO APPROX 12 MILES LEFT, TILL THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN ONLY GET ROUGHLY 12 GALLONS IN THE TANK. EITHER THE TANK THAT WAS INSTALLED IS WRONG OR THE COMPUTER GAUGE IS OFF. I'M ON…
