POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The lane keep assist does not work basically , it can't detect the lines , due to the recall I can't charge my car which I paid much more than regular ford fusion. To be able to use the Electric miles and save on gas , also the 3G modem stopped working and ford has no fix for that , took it to different dealers and they say even if I replace the old modem with a new 4G, (paying out of my own pocket !!) most likely the app and remote connection will not work .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I received a recall notice in June 2023 from Ford announcing a recall for my 2019 Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid. The notice stated that there is a chance of fire from the high voltage battery and BCM (battery control module). Ford stated a fix will be issued. This was over 1 year ago. The interim remedy from Ford is asking all 2019-2020 owners to stop charging their vehicles until a fix is issued. This disables a large portion of the car's functionality, performance and efficiency. As Fusion Energi owners, we paid a hefty premium for a PHEV, and instead we have a very inefficient and poor performing standard hybrid. Ford has not communicated any updates in the past 8 months, and when I call dealers there is no indication of when a fix will be made available. I'm ready to give up. If you are looking to purchase a used 2019-2020 Fusion Energi, I suggest you wait until there is a resolution for this issue.

Potential Consequences:
I was notified in July of 2023 of a recall on the battery energy recall module for this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle to charge and have a gas backup. As a result of reading reports of the potential fire due to charging the vehicle and the notice to not charge the vehicle for safety reasons, I have not been able to use the battery and fuel efficiency part of this vehicle. Again, this is the reason for purchasing the vehicle and paying more for the car. I have contacted Ford and there is no fix in the near future. I am only told to continue to use the vehicle in gas mode. This is not an acceptable response and remedy for their issue. The vehicle value has now drastically reduced as no one wants to purchase a hybrid they cannot charge.

I could not find a link for complaints, so I am reporting a complaint here. I got a notice of recall in July 2023 (NHTSA Recall 23V-440) for this vehicle and almost a year later there is NO fix or updated communication on whether the Battery Energy Control Module for this vehicle can be modified to be made safe. I was told to stop charging the car due to a possible fire hazard, and this defeats the purpose that I purchased it for in the first place. I have been forced to buy (increasiingly expensive) gasoline for the past 10+ months whereas before the recall, I almost never purchased gas - just charged the car. I want to make a formal complaint against Ford Motor Corporation for their lack of action and communication on the status of this problem and when it is likely to be solved. Thank you.

Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Last year on or about May or June 2023, I received a Safety Recall 23S33 from Ford. I had experienced a similar recall with my 2018 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. Up until the time a fix was identified, Chrysler offered monthly debit cards of $200 to compensate for additional expense of gasoline that would not have been incurred but for the recall. Later, Chrysler offered reimbursement for the the additional expense of a rental vehicle. The only benefit or compensation for the inconvenience and expense of not being able to charge my 2019 Ford Fusion PHEV is a single $200 debit card sent during the holiday season in late 2023. I have called Ford asking the status of a fix as well as any customer benefit available for this recall for which I was told my Ford there was none. This month will be one full year since the recall and Ford has failed to 1) provide periodic updates on the status of a fix, 2) provided any customer benefit such as debit cards, rental car reimbursement, or buy back benefit. I am extremely concerned that if the NHTSA does not immediately sanction or fine Ford for - at best - poor customer service or - at worst - negligent business practices, the result will be little to no incentive for automobile manufacturers to promptly rectify defective parts in their vehicles or, even worse, little to no incentive to avoid manufacturing vehicles with a foreseeable risk of serious defects. Given almost an entire year since the recall, I strongly advocate that the NHTSA take immediate and meaningful action on behalf of impacted Ford customers to require Ford to provide cash compensation (debit cards), reimbursement (for alternative car rental), or customer friendly buy-back options for those subject to the recall since May 2023.

Later, Chrysler offered reimbursement for the the additional expense of a rental vehicle. The only benefit or compensation for the inconvenience and expense of not being able to charge my 2019 Ford Fusion PHEV is a single $200 debit card sent during the holiday season in late 2023. I have called Ford asking the status of a fix as well as any customer benefit available for this recall for which I was told my Ford there was none. This month will be one full year since the recall and Ford has failed to 1) provide periodic updates on the status of a fix, 2) provided any customer benefit such as debit cards, rental car reimbursement, or buy back benefit. I am extremely concerned that if the NHTSA does not immediately sanction or fine Ford for - at best - poor customer service or - at worst - negligent business practices, the result will be little to no incentive for automobile manufacturers to promptly rectify defective parts in their vehicles or, even worse, little to no incentive to avoid manufacturing vehicles with a foreseeable risk of serious defects. Given almost an entire year since the recall, I strongly advocate that the NHTSA take immediate and meaningful action on behalf of impacted Ford customers to require Ford to provide cash compensation (debit cards), reimbursement (for alternative car rental), or customer friendly buy-back options for those subject to the recall since May 2023.

Potential Consequences:
I got a notice of recall 10 months ago for this vehicle and there is no fix or updated communication on whether the Battery Energy Control Module for this vehicle can be modified to be made safe and I have told to stop charging the car which defeats the purpose why I purchased it in the first place. Wanted to make a formal complaint against Ford Motor Corporation for their lack of action and communication on when this problem is to be solved.
