re. recall 23V-440 Issued June 2023 as of March 2025 (one year and 9 months later), on remedy. they now claim one will be available 3Q25, but they also estimated a fix 3Q24. this is an UNACCEPTABLE amount of time to not have a fix and have a formal recommendation not to charge the vehicle.

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 .

Continually receiving "see manual" message while driving, will intermittently appear and disappear. At times, the plug-in battery will completely stop working while still charged (more frequent in colder weather). It always resets/removes the "see manual" warning upon next vehicle start. Engine shutters and pings when turning the car off and is rather intense and seems potentially damaging. When driving at low speeds and when changing speeds, engine will not shift correctly when accelerator is pressed, and then will suddenly engage and lurch forward. And when slowing down braking system is not consistent, often have to depress brake harder than normal. Hybrid battery will also stop working when "see manual" message is on. At times the check engine light will come on, code P0B24, checked by Ford Dealer (Norm Reeves, Cerritos, CA) on 12/21/23, 'Hybrid Battery A voltage unstable'. Known recall but they have no fix. Dealer says corporate office has to authorize any sort of loaner car or arrange for rental car, however website says "contact your local dealership directly" when I enter my info for the recall. Called Ford corporate on 1/15/24, their answer is "we have no fix for this" regarding both fixing the car and providing us with a working vehicle. They would not take down any of our contact information or give us any other outlet to contact.

While driving to work on I35 the a red message popped up on the dash saying "Stop Safely Now" and the engine/hybrid motor instantly completely died. Steering and breaking were almost impossible because I am not a strong person and I was nearly rear ended several times. I had no chance to get to the shoulder and was blocking the lane in the middle of traffic till I was able to get someone to tow it to a side street. Completely unacceptable and very dangerous for the car to die completely like this.

Yesterday I parked my car and about 45 minutes later when I returned my trunk was open. This makes a few times now where I have parked my car and left, then when I returned my trunk was open. The first couple of times I dismissed it because the trunk was only open slightly. In one of the early instances I was standing there when the trunk opened by itself and thought it was because I hadn't closed it all the way. But yesterday the trunk was open halfway with the taillight flashing bringing further attention to it. There were no error messages or warnings (other than the taillight flashing). Yesterday when this happened, my car was charging at a public charging station. I suspect the taillight was flashing because the car was plugged in and charging. The other times this happened, it was not charging. This morning I googled Ford Fusion trunk opening by itself and saw multiple online forums with other Ford Fusion owners, who going back years, have been experiencing their trunks opening for no apparent reason. Some of them said it happens while driving. If my trunk were to open while I was driving the distraction would put myself and other drivers at risk. There would also be a danger if items started to fly out of my trunk. One of the forums suggested notifying the NHTSA about this issue. I also messaged Ford about this issue asking about a fix.

Window tint on passenger back side window and rear window is so bad that it impairs viewing
