Defect Description:
WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
Lug nuts were impossible to remove as the wrench supplied by Ford would NOT engage the nut. WE spent two hours on side of a busy highway at risk while several people tried to remove the nuts. Finally, the tech from towing service had to beat the wrench onto each nut, destroying the outer shell in each case. After two hours in the Texas heat, spare was attached and we replaced ALL the nuts for $48 plus tax. VERY ALARMING SITUATION as we often travel on remote roads and areas.

Potential Consequences:
Three of four door locks have malfunctioned. As well as electric driver side seat. We have fixed two at our expense, they are obviously defective. Unable to lock doors, a person could fall out. Dealer has confirmed issue and has attempted to get Ford to take responsibility. Has not been confirmed by police, etc No warning lights. Similar vehicles have had same issue and have been recalled. I don’t think we should have to pay for this expense when there is a known issue. We are requesting that this lock gets repaired and we are reimbursed for other two locks to be reimbursed. Thank you for your time. Vickie

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2016 Ford Fusion with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire in cylinder 4. I took the vehicle to a Ford Service Center for a diagnosis, and they said that the cause is coolant intrusion into the cylinder, and the only fix is replacing the engine. I still own the vehicle and it is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others are put at risk because, in the event of an unexpected total engine failure, I could lose power causing me to be stranded, power steering function, ABS function, etc. There is currently an ongoing class-action lawsuit titled Miller, et al. v. Ford Motor Company, so others have also experienced this issue. The vehicle engine has been inspected and diagnosed by a Ford Service Center. They stated that a faulty design makes the engines susceptible to coolant intrusion. There were no warnings about the failure before the misfire started occurring.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Was in reverse to enter a parking spot, shifted down to drive (lever moved to D) but car stayed in Reverse. I could freely move the lever from Drive to Reverse but the transmission would not shift out of reverse. I moved car to parking spot, moved lever to park (car never shifted out of reverse), put the emergency brake on, then shut the car off. The car will no longer start now because the transmission is stuck in Reverse (lever is in park). Significant safety issue...I could have unknowingly reversed into anything or anyone at first when I "shifted" to Drive remaining in reverse. Upon inspection the bushing/cap did fall off of the shifting cable, which was recalled on thousands of Fords same model and year. Consumer had to pay for a cap and seal to replace the one that was missing.
Corrective Action:
Was in reverse to enter a parking spot, shifted down to drive (lever moved to D) but car stayed in Reverse. I could freely move the lever from Drive to Reverse but the transmission would not shift out of reverse. I moved car to parking spot, moved lever to park (car never shifted out of reverse), put the emergency brake on, then shut the car off. The car will no longer start now because the transmission is stuck in Reverse (lever is in park). Significant safety issue...I could have unknowingly reversed into anything or anyone at first when I "shifted" to Drive remaining in reverse. Upon inspection the bushing/cap did fall off of the shifting cable, which was recalled on thousands of Fords same model and year. Consumer had to pay for a cap and seal to replace the one that was missing.
Additional Notes:

Defect Description:
TIRES:BEAD
Potential Consequences:
235/50 R 17. Seriously horrible groove wandering to the point that I feel extremely unsafe to drive. I'm guessing it's all four tires but, I'm only allowed to pick one. It happened the first day after purchasing the vehicle on 5/24/22. I put more money down on the car because the tires were fairly new. Now they have to be replaced because they are dangerous. They must be recalled!
