Transmission shifts hard into lower gears, this is worse on a cold start. In addition, on colder days it slams into gear between 2nd and 3rd on upshift and downshift. The plastic trim around the door handles pulls up when the door is pulled shut. It does not come completely off the handle, but it moves. The Driver Information System reported a bad SD card for the GPS system. GPS fails to function. Dealer found that the SD slot is bad, and part is on indefinite back order.

Engine was bogging down and almost stalling on start up after the car was warmed and actually stalled while in stop and go traffic.

Shifter linkage detached at the transmission. Dorman makes a $15 part to repair it, but it is a PITA to get to and the Dorman instructions suck. It took two tries to get it right. This is not the recently recalled shifter issue (that is in the console), but honestly they should recall for this as well. If you are not handy go to AutoZone and by the Dorman part and take it to your mechanic to install. If you take it to Ford they will want to replace the entire shift cable assembly and it is expensive!

TSB 13-06-03: Gas Tank only allows 12-13 gallons on fill (16.5 gallon capacity). Requires tank to be replaces as well as computer reset. TSB 13-05-03: Small plastic plates behind interior door handles are loose and vibrant constantly. TSB 13-05-18: Trunk torsion bars require replacement as they were no setup properly for additional weight of factory installed spoiler, hence it drops/fails to remain up on any sort of incline or windy conditions. Vehicle started leaking fuel, rock got stuck in o-ring and created a gap. The seal was replaced. Gas tank was replaced and SYNC was reset, however I filled immediately after leaving dealership and with 11 miles to empty I was only able to put in 13.084 gallons. Plastic panels were "fixed" with double-sided foam tape. Trunk torsion bars were replaced as they do not account for spoiler weight. Driver side visor clip broke, failing to hold visor in position.

Dashboard lit up like Christ mas tree. ABS light, Check rear park aid, Air Bag, Hilltop Assist "Off" warning. My OBDII scanner was unable to connect so I took vehicle to the dealer. A faulty ABS sensor was found to be the cause off the issue. Since it was no longer "online" it took out all the other computers in the daisy chain. The repair cost was very reasonable, this Dealership is family owned and provided incredible customer service.

"popped up". when shifting from forward to reverse (or vice versa), clack or click sound from front wheels. Sounds similar to pads sliding around in caliper, but is NOT that. Found TSB 13-5-24 on blue oval forum. Needs thrust washers on half shafts. Sour musty smell coming from a/c vents when hot outside. BAD for first minute, then gets much less noticeable. They sprayed deodorizer. Worked 1 day, smell came back. Many on the forums report this same problem. ticking in two rear doors. their first try did not fix it. I need to tell them about TSB 13-5-3.

I was driving from Canada to Palm Springs when the check engine light came on and 'check fuel inlet' error message came on. It also dumped fuel again under the car when filled. It was the same problem repaired in Nov, repaired again in PS. UPDATE - apologies to Ford.

The screen is slanted and I was brushing my hand on the controls causing the symptoms.

Memory seats did not work with Intelligent Access key fobs. TSB 14-0039 was applied to fix the issue with a reprogramming of the Body Control Module (BCM). Fuel gauge would drop too much after filling car. TSB 14-0219 updated the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) software to fix this issue. Ambient lighting would sometimes change color by itself back to the default color. TSB 14-0175 was performed to update the APIM (Sync Module) to fix this. Trunk was installed with incorrect torsion bars from factory, trunk lid would not stay up. TSB 13-05-18 was performed and correct torsion bars were installed. Turn signals would cancel too quickly during certain types of turns. SSM 44909 called for an update to the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) to fix this. Steering wheel radio buttons would periodically be inoperative after calling Sync Services. SSM 45012 called for an update to the SCCM to fix it. Since the SCCM was already updated as part of the turn signal issue nothing else was needed.

A telematics module regulating battery charge required replacement with a new module with newer firmware to eliminate an issue where the car was discharging its 12 volt battery (Fusion energy only issue) Fuel filler door not aligned correctly. Dealer replaced. Electrical "filler" door would not open/close consistently (Fusion Energi) Dealer lubricated. Center console not fitting properly - caused by service to the car by another dealer - this dealer did not replace the trim properly. The interior gloss black piece containing the window controls and door handle was not seated properly in the door armrest of each of the car's 4 doors. This is apparently a common Fusion problem. The dealer attempted to fix, but could not.

Check engine lights began to appear, car felt as if running on 3 cylinders, nearly stalling. Dealer consulted Ford and applied various TSBs and fixes. Car declared fixed and returned, though the car failed outright a few weeks later. Gasoline engine failed completely. Dealer worked with Ford and eventually discovered that the cylinder head has been improperly manufactured. The engine was disassembled and reassembled a number of times and the head and internals replaced. Hill-holder not functioning. I suspected that it was accidentally disconnected internally as a result of a prior repair. I was right. Dealer connected the wires and reassembled the center console and this fixed the problem. Telematics system (remote start, GPS location, remote unlock, etc.) no longer working in many locations. Ford elected to use a 2G cellular network that is being retired by AT&T in most of the US. All 2013-2016 Fords will now fail in 2017.
