  I am filing this complaint concerning my 2020 Ford Fusion Energi and Ford Safety Recall 23S33 / NHTSA Recall 23V440 involving the high-voltage battery.

  I am filing this complaint concerning my 2020 Ford Fusion Energi and Ford Safety Recall 23S33 / NHTSA Recall 23V440 involving the high-voltage battery. Ford's recall notice states that the Battery Energy Control Module may become damaged due to excess voltage and current flow caused by a Current Interrupt Device activation in one or more high-voltage battery cells. Ford states that this can result in loss of motive power or a vehicle fire. My vehicle has been subjected to the recall remedy/interim work and I cannot use its plug-in charging capability. I purchased this vehicle specifically as a plug-in hybrid. Ford's May 2026 recall notice states that Ford authorized dealers to replace the high-voltage battery free of charge and that the repair will restore plug-in charging functionality. However, I have subsequently been informed that a replacement battery may not actually be available for my vehicle until approximately XXX, and I have been told that even that estimated timeframe is not guaranteed. I purchased this vehicle used at approximately 37,000 miles and it currently has only approximately 43,705 miles. I have therefore driven it only approximately 6,705 miles since purchasing it. My concern is that Ford acknowledges a safety-related high-voltage battery defect and has restricted the plug-in capability of the vehicle, yet I may potentially have to wait until late 2027 or longer for the replacement battery that restores the vehicle's intended functionality. I am requesting that NHTSA review Ford's administration of Recall 23S33 as it relates to the availability and timeliness of the permanent high-voltage-battery remedy and determine whether owners such as myself are receiving a safe, free and effective recall remedy within an appropriate period. I was working in [XXX] and did not receive recall information at my [XXX] address I am back in [XXX]. I want Ford to buy back the vehicle based on the letter sent.

  The car braking system fail without warning, the only way to stop the car IS using the "park" gear, the ford dealer claim the electric wire are eaten by the rodent and charge me $420 for repair, the question I have: 1. I have 6 rodent repellent ultra sound device in the house and 2 in garage, and for the last 20 year I have ever seen a rodent 2. If rodent can do such a catastrophic brake failure why there isn't any warning, it should at least not allow the car to be driven then no way to stop afterward. 3. It only cost a dollar to protect the expose wire with steel sleeve, why are ford not doing that to prevent such total brake failure. I have return this car to dealer while there are still 4 month lease left, but at least 6 of my friend are driving the same fusion energi and I worry someone IS going to be killed for this type of catastrophic and total brake failure. I did file a complaint to ford head office a month ago, they promise to get back to me but so far I have not heard from them yet.

  Ford fusion energi, did its low powered state again, this time on the free way, dropping rapidly from 75mph to 22mph and barely able to maintain that speed. The display showed the safety features becoming deactivated. Something new though, the headlights went out and the console dimmed and was barely readable, I turned on my hazards and I hope they where working, either way I was fortunate enough to avoid a rear end collision and got the vehicle off the road. This about 7TH time ford will work on the vehicle, and another week or more without a vehicle, waiting for the next available appointment. These fusions are becoming the new ford pinto. I really hope that several people don't have to die, before ford IS forced to recall these death traps.

  On july 4TH 2018. I was driving down freeway at approximately 74 miles per hour, my vehicle decelerated abruptly down to about 40 miles per hour then down to 20 miles per hour. Steering wheel become tight and practically locked into place. This portion of the event occured withen two seconds at most. The check engine light came on and the console screen on. The left side of accelerometer displayed multiple messages stating my safety systems where not available, adaptive cruise control was unavailable, forward collusion warning was unavailable, rear parking cam unavailable, parking sensors, unavailable, hill assistance unavailable, these where the ones I read while trying to make avoid a collision but other messages continued to display on the screen. Altogether the event in which the deceleration and messages displayed one after the other, in rapid succession, took place inabout 5 to 10 seconds. The sudden deceleration of my vehicle, from 74mph to 20mph forced a large white SUV. To quickly adjust lanes and force two other vehicles to move as well in order to avoid an accident. One vehicle was almost forced into a concrete wall but was able to stop, the cars behind had started to manuver around as well. I the driver was able to correct themselves quickly and continue on. My vehicle was unable to accelerate past 20mph. The exit was close, my hazard lights appeared to be be working, and vehicles where paying attention to my vehicle. I took the opportunity to move the vehicle off the free way and park it at a gas station. With the holiday, I couldn't find any open repair shops. While I waited for a ride I found several forums discussing this IS a common issue with the 2016 ford fusion energi. After about 12000 miles the throttle body needs to be replaced. Sense then I took mine to get fixed, the issue and fix, was replacing the throttle body. Ford won't recall!

  On 7/26 my 2016 ford fusion enegeri with 3800 miles acted oddly awhile at a red light. When I attenmped to accelerate it surged forward and soon after an icon that looked like a submarine ppeared on my dashboard. I had just taken the vehicle in for it's first service at 3400 miles. the specific visual was an engine light that looked like a submarine it was not a wrench - when I brought it to galpin ford, where I purchased it, I was told it would be a week or more because of a 2-step process to diagnose and were backed up. I asked for a loaner. They said no. I called ford corporate if they could be of assistance( they knew of issues with this model) they claimed to need a diagnosis I went home and called galpin & ford customer service. They at around 3:00pm I was advised by galpin that the vehicle had been repaired, it was "just as they thought"- a throttle issue .they claimed to have done an eec test with code p2112 and replaced the throttle body. I asked what other diagnostic tests were performed and was sad tp see only a basic "report card" -fluid levels and tire /brake wear - when driving the car home, it was not performing the same- not fluid - a strong floor vibration near the accelerator, and driving very rough. I called galpin to complain intend to bring the vehicle back to them or to another authorized ford dealership after I speak to ford customer service. I need to have the vehicle thoroughly inspected because I am not convinced they did a thorough inspection but assumed because of prior throttle problems, that was the issue. curiously when researching the throttle issue, there are specific references to a wrench icon --- there was never a wrench icon on my dashboard. it IS extremely troubling to have a new vehicle with only 3800 miles perform so horribly- it does not currently feel safe to drive

  From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

  In December 2019, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation based on 235 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging doors failed to latch when closed, and/or inadvertently opened while driving, on model year (MY) 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta, and 2013-2014 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. Some VOQs reported the failure occurred after the latch had been remedied under a prior recall which involved fracture of the latch pawl spring tab due to thermally induced cyclic fatigue. Other VOQs alleged a similar failure in vehicles not previously recalled. A latch with a fractured pawl spring tab typically results in a ?door will not close? condition, however in certain somewhat rare circumstances, may result in the door coming open while driving. In response to ODI?s investigation, Ford has announced three field actions, as discussed below.On March 23, 2020, Ford submitted Safety Recall 20V-177 (Ford 20S15), a regional recall campaign to address door latch failures in vehicles not previously recalled under Safety Recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 and 17V-210. The recall affects vehicles currently or ever registered in certain high ambient temperature states (see 20V-177 for affected states). As a remedy, Ford will replace all four door latches free of charge.On August 24, 2020, Ford issued a non-safety regional field action (Ford 20R01) to address door latch failures on the same model/MY vehicles not covered under 20V-177 (i.e., not currently/ever registered in affected states). According to Ford, spring tab failure rates for vehicles covered by this action are about half that of the 20V-177 vehicles. Under this action, dealers will replace all door latches, free of charge, if either; a) the vehicle exhibits a related latch concern, or b) if the vehicle owner expresses a concern about the latches in their vehicles. Details can be found under NHTSA TSB No. 10190990, a copy of which is available in this investigative file available at NHTSA.gov.On June 8, 2020, Ford submitted Safety Recall 20V-331 (Ford 20S30) addressing vehicles previously remedied under NHTSA Recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 and 17V-210, where the repair may not have been properly completed, specifically not all of the door latches were replaced, or replaced correctly. This recall involves an inspection of the latches, with the option for a consumer self-inspection; owners could view the date codes on their latches (and confirm child safety locks are present on the rear doors) and then submit the information to Ford?s mobile app or website. A dealership inspection option was also available. Any vehicle found to have unreplaced defective latches requires the replacement of all door latches as directed by Ford.Regarding the 4,494 reports cited above, 1,485 involve scope-related failures (with 13% alleging door opening), and the remaining 3,009 reports involving remedy concerns (with 18% alleging door opening - note ODI was unable to verify the allegations of door opening). The three ODI injuries were all relatively minor. Ford?s reported injury incidences include one (unconfirmed) report of an ejection, three minor injuries with the others involving undisclosed injuries. Ford?s crashes involved two (unconfirmed) crashes alleging the incident door contacted another vehicle and three involving doors striking other property.The recalled vehicles include MY 2011-2015 Ford Fiesta, 2013-2016 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, 2015 Ford Mustang and Lincoln MKC, 2013-2015 Ford Escape and Ford C-MAX, 2012-2015 Ford Focus and 2014-2016 Ford Transit Connect.Ford's actions address ODI's concerns at this time. ODI will take further action if warranted by new information. The reference (OD
