2019 Ford Fusion Electrical Problems

My backup camera often freezes after I shift from reverse to drive. The screen turns blue and at time will have a live video of me driving showing what’s behind my car. Also my engine loses power and doesn’t accelerate as it should. There is a powertrain and censor error that shows due to the Che k engine light being on. I had the issue fixed once at a ford dealer however the issue was not resolved. It started up again 48 hours later.I have noticed that all other ford fusions have the same two issues and were included in the recalls but the 2019’s are not ? Please assist I have been trying to have these issues resolved for years with no success.

I have a 2019 Ford Fusion hybrid titanium, and it is exhibiting issues of a recall that Ford has issued for my year making model. But not specifically for my Vin. The recall is for the A.P.I.M. module and is a software glitch that although leave the infotainment system with a black or blank screen or right after using the backup camera, the backup camera will stay on the screen for some time and it states on the recall that it is a safety concern due to being a distraction for the driver on top of that, it will not remember any device I pair to it via Bluetooth, it will not remember navigation presets or any destinations I previously routed to with the navigation system. Every time I turn my car on for some reason it starts the navigation system with the route to my parents address. Also sometimes the screen will be unresponsive and unusable untill next ignition cycle. It kills my 12v battery because the screen will stay on after vehicle is turned off. This happens every ignition cycle

Going approximately 55 Miles an hour on the freeway and my car starts profusely shaking. I pulled to the side of the highway tow truck comes up behind me. Ann, my cylinder 4 was noted to be misfiring. I had it towed to Midas and that is where it was determined that engine coolant leaked into my cylinders and now being told that my car requires a new engine!! Mind you i have already paid 5K to replace the timing chain because apparently my car skipped timing due to oil pan leak. Both of these issues are posted on TSB BULLETINS ON THE FORD WEBSITE. I am NOT GOING TO PAY 11K for a new engine not to mention the 5K I already paid and all my other maintenance that I have paid for. Ford was deceptive knowing selling these vehicles with a QA ISSUE! AND THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST THE CONSUMER. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE!!

First, we will start with every time I turn my car to the left the steering wheel box and the brakes skid then the ABS sensor comes on Then we will start with the car every time I put it into a gear. It automatically goes back to park, and I cannot move the car in any direction. When the issue first started, I could reverse then when I put the car and drive in the middle of the street it would automatically go back to park which could cause a crash I only have video proof of this.

See attached document for complaint. Text from attached document: Despite completing the interim repair, the vehicle still cannot charge, and my repeated inquiries, including under case number CXH-05041947-L 1V3X6, have been met with vague promises of replacement batteries being available "next quarter" with no resolution in sight. Furthermore, I learned on July 23, 2025, that Ford offered a buy-back program for affected vehicles that ended on July 1, 2025, which I was never informed about.

The electrical system constantly discharges the battery. If the car is not started at least every three days, the battery discharges and must be taken to Ford to have the battery replaced. Ford customer service and the dealer know about this and have taken the position that as a customer I must go start the car because Ford cannot fix the problem, Unknown why they cannot fix it. To start the car every three days is very difficult for me because I am disabled and must climb stairs and walk to the street to manually start the car. Ford suggested using the remote start feature of furnished with the car by Ford. The remote start works but it is limited to remote starting the car two times and then you must go to the car and manually start the car. If I am unable to get to the car in time to start it, the battery goes dead and I cannot use my car in case of an emergency. Ford has been made aware of this, Ford says they agree it is a problem but that Ford Engineers won't remove the two start limit. Ford will not say why there is a two start limit. This could be fixed (limit removed) by just updating the software. Ford does not respond anymore when I ask them about it.

My front camera is often unavailable. I took it in multiple times and they couldn’t find an issue. Recently my back up camera has been acting up. It is unavailable most of the time, other times the screen is black, sometimes it’ll work and then cut out. There is a recall on other ford vehicles for this issue. I looked up if it needs a software update and it doesn’t. We’ve checked the camera and wiring harness and they’re both intact and in good condition.

During the month of dec 2024 my car didnt start. I called Triple A to jump start my car to get home. During Christmas break of 2024 i purchased a brand new battery and now a month and two weeks later the battery is completely dead again. Sometimes is hard to get the car up to speed and feels like it struggles to maintain it as well. The electrical system also kicks my radio connection off and on while driving.

2019 Ford Fusion . Just stopped running while driving . Everything just quit working . Took to shop they replaced alternator and battery . After driving a month car did exact same thing again. I think this is more than an alternator problem.

This has happened multiple times now. Always happens at high speeds (greater than 45 mph). I will be driving on a highway when I unexpectedly lose the ability to accelerate. First noticed in correlation with the collision detection feature showing on the display as NOT FUNCTIONING. That does not happen anymore, but I still lose the ability to accelerate periodically. Once I can safely remove myself from the flow of traffic and stop/restart my car the issue is resolved. Makes me believe this is electrical/computer origin. The vehicle was taken to the dealership twice where they claim “cannot duplicate” but are willing to replace any item that I will pay for out of pocket. The dealership does not want to honor my extended warranty. The vehicle was purchased new in 2019. Within one year they had to replace half my engine (which they decided to do without warning when I dropped off for an oil change). The vehicle was stolen in 2023 (recovered by me in under 24 hours). Multiple cosmetic issues were repaired by a Ford authorized service team. This issue presented about 1.5 months ago 4+ months after the vehicle was repaired.

My car in February of 202: got stuck in park they said it was electrical issue, then months later I ended up with a coolant leak that then combusted my engine. New engine in August of 2023 fast forward to November 2023 my car is doing the same thing it stalled in the road with myself and newborn in the car, lost all speed and now it will not go in drive or reverse just like it did in February of 2023. It’s been in the shop twice and now ongoing it’s third time and I find this to be a severe issue because if my car is going to keep stalling while driving there is no reason to keep fixing this car. I’m aware past fusion’s have been recalled for something of similar problems so it makes me wonder if this should be recalled as well.
