A/C failure on other Fusion years
No other Fusion model year has enough reports of A/C failure for a sheet of its own. See every Fusion year.
What this problem usually is
Most A/C complaints start the same way: the fan still blows, but the air coming out of the vents is warm or only a little cool. Some owners get cold air that fades after a while, and others hear a noise from the compressor before it quits. It's rarely a safety problem on its own, which is also why it seldom gets a recall.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the clutch (6 reports) and the compressor (4 reports).

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 6 service bulletins or notices for the 2014 Ford Fusion that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Some 2013-2020 vehicles equipped with an EVDC air conditioning (A/C) compressor may exhibit poor A/C performance/improper climate function.
Some 2013-2019 vehicles equipped with a EVDC air conditioning (A/C) compressor may exhibit poor A/C performance/improper climate function and/or a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P06A0 in the powertrain control module (PCM).
SOME 2014-2016 FUSION VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 1.5L GASOLINE TURBO DIRECT INJECTION (GTDI) ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT AN ENGINE VIBRATION WHILE IN PARK AND AT IDLE. THIS CONDITION MAY BE MORE PRONOUNCED WITH THE A/C ON.

What owners wrote
“This problem has happened multiple times over the last few years. The windows, air conditioning and radio just stop working. Safety issue - hot day and can't roll windows down or turn the air on! Dealership wouldn't fix it because everything turned back on when we got to dealer, and then again stopped working again later. Very sporadic. Currently not working again.”

“Air conditioner turns on by itself. None of the buttons work on the steering wheel unless you hit the steering wheel. Sometimes when you turn on the car all the lights stay on and there is traction issues. If you turn the car back off and then back on it goes away.”

“Driverâs climate fault. Temporary lost communication with the climate system When this happens the a/c goes out and the windows will not roll down. It it way too hot in Texas for me wife and kids to get stuck with the windows up and the a/c not working. We have it at the dealership several time it their fix does not last.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 27 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
