Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 1931)
Steering →3 issues
Your steering wheel suddenly locked up while driving, making it impossible to turn the vehicle. The steering remained stuck even after you parked it in your driveway. The dealer suspects the electronic steering rack has failed, and unlike older hydraulic steering systems, it appears to have no backup mechanism to allow partial steering control if it fails.

Your 2013 Ford Fusion has been stalling intermittently since you bought it, especially when slowing down or stopping. The engine shuts off without warning and needs to be restarted, sometimes with a delay, but no warning lights appear to help diagnose the problem. This is concerning because sudden engine loss while driving in traffic or at intersections could cause a collision. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and replacing faulty engine sensors, fuel system components, or ignition system parts that are causing the stalling.

Your rear view camera works on and off unpredictably. When you put the car in reverse, the camera image may appear briefly and then go black, or fail to show at all. This happens intermittently, so it doesn't occur every time you reverse.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Engine →2 issues
Your transmission shift cable bushing at the transmission end has completely degraded and detached, causing your gear shifter inside the cabin to move freely while the transmission stays in its last gear. This creates a serious safety risk because your car could roll away unexpectedly and you won't be able to shift into Park to secure the vehicle. Before total failure, you may have noticed the gear display occasionally not matching where your shifter was positioned. The fix will involve replacing the transmission shift cable bushing and potentially the entire shift cable assembly.

Engine And Engine Cooling →2 issues
Your engine overheated while driving, causing the check engine light to come on and a burning smell from the engine bay. When you checked under the hood, you found the coolant level was low and discovered both coolant and oil leaking onto the engine manifold, which created a fire hazard. The leaks need to be diagnosed and repaired by a mechanic to prevent engine damage and safety risks.

Your 2013 Ford Fusion is producing white smoke from the tailpipe when started, which indicates coolant is leaking into the engine oil. You noticed coolant mixed in with your oil on the dipstick and a small amount of oil in the coolant reservoir, suggesting the engine's internal seals are failing and allowing fluids to mix. This issue is related to a known Ford recall (17V209000), though you're concerned the recall repair may not fully resolve it. The fix will likely involve replacing the cylinder head gasket or other internal engine seals to prevent coolant and oil from mixing.
Parts you may need:

As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Unknown Or Other,engine →1 issue
Your car produced white smoke and a burning smell from the engine area, followed by a fire under the hood. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer or independent mechanic due to weather conditions, so the exact cause hasn't been confirmed. This issue requires immediate professional inspection and diagnosis to identify what caused the fire and prevent it from happening again.

Steering,electrical System,air Bags →1 issue
Your power steering has stopped working properly, and you're experiencing multiple related warning lights on your dashboard including steering assist malfunction and lane keep system errors. Your passenger airbag also isn't functioning as designed, and your seat belt has been constantly locking up for several months. These issues all started when cold weather arrived, creating a serious safety concern with steering control.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Air Bags →1 issue
Your car was hit on the front passenger side in a T-bone collision, but the airbags did not deploy during the crash. You sustained a head injury and required medical attention. Ford told you the airbags may not have deployed because the impact was on the passenger side rather than the driver's side. Your car was declared a total loss by insurance.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Steering,electrical System,engine →1 issue
Your car's electrical system is failing and repeatedly shuts off while driving, showing a "no key detected" message even though your key is in the car. This has left you stranded multiple times, including stalling in the middle of the road. The car only restarts after sitting for about 20 minutes or after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, and then only runs for a day or so before the problem returns. Additionally, your heating system only works when it's raining outside.

As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Visibility →1 issue
Your windshield wipers stopped working at 92,000 miles. An independent mechanic was unable to diagnose the problem, and your car wasn't repaired. You've been using a spray bottle to clean your windshield instead. While you believe this matches a known recall, your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in it, though Ford has opened a case to investigate.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Power Train,vehicle Speed Control,engine →1 issue
Your transmission has failed a second time, possibly related to a known recall involving bushings. Your engine is leaking oil from the head gasket, which may be caused by coolant overheating and entering the engine. Additionally, your cruise control is working backwards — pressing the lower speed button causes the car to shift higher, and vice versa. These issues will likely require transmission replacement or rebuild, head gasket replacement, and cruise control system diagnosis and repair.

Visibility/wiper →1 issue
Your rear view camera stops working without warning and displays a "camera unavailable" message with a black screen. This happens repeatedly while you're driving, and it has caused close calls when you're trying to back up safely. The issue will likely require diagnosing the camera connection, wiring, or the camera module itself to restore functionality.
Parts you may need:

Exterior Lighting →1 issue
Your turn signal cancels unexpectedly while you're turning, even though you've locked the signal stalk in the continuous position. The slightest movement of your steering wheel away from the turn direction—as little as 1 or 2 degrees—will cause the signal to shut off without your awareness, which is a safety concern. Ford has a known service bulletin for this issue requiring a reprogram of the steering column signal switch, but dealership repair costs are high.
