2006 Ford Fusion Lights Problems

Your front right turn signal stays on but won't flash, making it impossible for other drivers to see when you're turning or changing lanes. This has created several near-miss situations where other vehicles didn't realize your intention to turn. The dealer was unable to fix the problem after three and a half days of work. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and replacing the turn signal flasher relay or the turn signal bulb/socket.

Your headlights have become foggy and cloudy, making it difficult to see clearly when driving at night. You've tried applying a clarity liquid to the outside of the lenses, which helped temporarily but the fogginess returned after about a year. The problem appears to be caused by deterioration of the plastic lens material itself. Fixing this typically involves either polishing and sealing the headlight lenses or replacing them entirely.

THE DOME FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT HAS COME APART FROM THE MAIN PIECE OF THE TAIL LIGHT.

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, BUT CAN OPEN FROM OUTSIDE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT FLASH, STAYS SOLID. REPLACED BULB BUT DOES SAME THING.

TAKATA RECALL. MY BLINKERS ALL WOULD NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD IT THE RELAY IS STICKING IN THE RELAY BOX. TO FIX IT WITH LABOR AND ALL WAS 1400.00. I WAS UNABLE TO PAY TO GET IT FIX. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH NO BLINKERS, WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE. IT AFFECTS MY COMMUTE EVERY DAY. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIVERSIDE FORD (101 E MAIN ST, HAVELOCK, NC 28532, (252) 447-3177) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 238,000.

MY DAUGHTER NOTICED BOTH FRONT TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT FLASHING WHILE BOTH REAR ONES WORKED FINE. ALL INDICATORS FROM INSIDE THE CAR SHOWED FRONT TURN SIGNALS WORKING WHEN THEY WERE NOT. I REPLACED BULBS TO NO AVAIL. I WENT ON INTERNET AND DISCOVERED OTHER OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH TURN SIGNALS. PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE SMART JUNCTION BOX AT THE DEALER FOR APPROXIMATELY $600. I TOOK CAR TO LOCAL DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF SMART JUNCTION BOX. TURN SIGNALS BEGAN TO WORK FINE. WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT, IS THAT THIS SAME SMART JUNCTION BOX CONTROLS SEVERAL OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR. SEVERAL COMMENTS FOUND ON THE INTERNET SAID THAT FORD FUSIONS HAD ACTUALLY LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BEING DRIVEN AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WITHOUT POWER STEERING, THEY COULD HARDLY GET CAR OUT OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES. AGAIN, THE REASON FOR THE LOSS OF POWER WAS THE FAILURE OF THE SMART JUNCTION BOX. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW FORD CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. BURN MARKS ARE VISIBLE AND IT IS NOW OUT AGAIN. IT WAS REPLACED EARLY SUMMER 2009 IT IS NOW OCT 2009. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE THIRD BRAKE LAMP WHICH IS LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR SEAT BLOCKS HIS VIEW. AT NIGHT YOU CANNOT SEE THE HEADLIGHTS OF OTHER CARS THAT ARE CLOSE. THE CONTACT FEELS THE LAMP SHOULD BE RELOCATED IN THE TRUNK DECK OR ABOVE THE REAR WINDOW. UPDATED 2/13/2006 - THE CONSUMER HAD ONE MINOR ACCIDENT. HE BACKED INTO A POST THAT WAS ONLY ABOUT 3-4' HIGH. THE POST COULD NOT BE SEEN BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE'S HIGH BACK DESIGN AND THE HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT BLOCKING HIS VIEW. *NM
