2014 Ford Fusion electrical system problems

“Following the execution of mandatory Emissions Recall 25E01 (PCM Reprogramming) by a Ford dealership, my vehicle suffered a severe network software corruption causing unintended engine acceleration and a sticking throttle. The engine holds its RPMs and continues holding until I release my foot off the gas pedal and when the car is placed in reverse the car puts/jerks. Additionally, the electronic trunk latch fires spontaneously , causing the trunk lid to fly open while in motion and/or while the car is off and locked along with other electrical issues. When the trunk opens after I’ve locked and secured my car, it has caused my car battery to drain overnight and required multiple jumps before operating again, I have since received a new battery as a resort of this electrical disturbance.The dealership has confirmed drivetrain issues but refuses an immediate remedy. This is forcing me to operate a criminally non-compliant and unsafe vehicle that I notified the dealership immediately and same day in June 2026. More problems continuously presents itself.”

“Ford Motor Company, a massive automotive manufacturer, sold a vehicle with a known, systemic defect that can cause a driver to suddenly lose power steering at highway speeds, while simultaneously disabling critical safety systems ABS and AdvanceTrac stability control. The vehicle's dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, steering suddenly becomes incredibly heavy, and the safety nets designed to prevent a rollover or spin-out turn off at the exact same moment. Lives are absolutely being put at risk. Because Ford has chosen to handle this through expensive, individual part replacements rather than a massive federal recall, the burden of safety has been unfairly shifted onto the consumer. When the PSCM (Power Steering Control Module) lost communication, it simultaneously disabled my ABS and Traction Control systems. This caused a sudden, unexpected loss of critical safety and handling systems while driving, creating an immediate crash hazard. I have already fixed the vehicle, so I must log the failure. Ford’s network architecture turns a single component failure into a massive, vehicle-wide electrical blackout. I've analyzed the underlying mechanics, and it…”

“Sudden Loss of Power Steering Assistance and Simultaneous ABS/AdvanceTrac System Faults I am submitting this complaint to document a serious vehicle safety incident involving my 2014 Ford Fusion SE. The vehicle experienced a loss of communication with the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), accompanied by faults affecting the ABS and traction/stability control systems. During the incident, the dashboard illuminated multiple warning lights, and the steering suddenly became extremely difficult to operate. The simultaneous loss of power steering assistance and warnings involving critical vehicle safety systems created a serious potential crash hazard, particularly at highway speeds or during an emergency maneuver. Diagnostic scanning with FORScan revealed the following communication-related diagnostic trouble codes: • U0131 — Lost Communication with Power Steering Control Module. • U0121 — Lost Communication with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module. • U0420 / U0415 — Invalid or implausible data received, as indicated by the recorded codes. I am concerned that an electrical, electronic, or component-level failure involving the power steering system may be…”

“The brake pedal switch pad was recalled and failed after being fixed and tripped the whole ABS system which caused the whole transmission to not shift and I didn’t have traction. My taillights stayed on 24/7 and I had to disconnect my battery. Ford did nothing”

“Almost got into an accident twice. Complete steering loss while driving. Replaced my rack n pinion per the bhph dealership i bought it from and still having issues. Complete steering loss while driving.”
