Fuel tank started leaking fuel when the tank is filled above 1/2 on the passenger side. ford repair shop found a tank defect on the bend of the upper tank flange, stress fracture along the flange that is not normal wear and tear but in my and the repair shop's opinion is a defective tank. i am filing a complaint with ford as in my over 40 years of owning many vehicles of several brands, never had a tank leak - one vehicle i have has 340k miles with no leaks. i see from research on the internet that this problem is not isolated to just me. ford - improve your quality before i buy another vehicle from you! this is an extremely dangerous condition.....updated 10/27/15*bf

My 2010 ford fusion developed a gas leak on august 1 2015. the leak was a constant drip coming from the gas tank. i immediately took my car to the repair shop to be fixed. after reviewing the gas tank, i was told by the repair shop that the metal gas tank was corroding at the seams and had corroded almost all the way through in one area(passenger side). the gasoline was seeping through the corroded seam in multiple areas. i was also told the metal tank did not have a weather coating to prevent corrosion. i was very surprised and frustrated that a five year old car has a gas tank that corroded through and leaked gasoline. this is a huge safety issue and ford needs to have a recall....updated 10/27/15 *bf updated 11/03/15.*jb

I was driving on an interstate going 70+ mph when my gas peddle stopped working, it would not make my car accelerate. the rpms dropped down to 1000-1500 and my car immediately started to slow down. i pulled to the side of the road and as i slowed down the car jumped and acted like it was stalling out. the wrench light on the dash also illuminated. i put the car in park and turned off the ignition, thinking that my car was broken down and i was going to have to get it towed. i thought to restart the car and when i did, it ran fine. until 3 days later when it repeated the same symptoms, 3 times in one day. it has now been a week and i have had countless times where this has happened, many times on the interstate, or busy roads. just today in a 2 mile stretch this happened 4 times! *tr
I was driving at 35 mph when i lost the throttle. the engine kept running but without acceleration. i pulled into a parking lot restarted and continued. the next day while driving 55 mph at the intersection of two merging expressways the throttle stopped working. i was able to stop in the vee just as the expressways merged. it was extremely dangerous. had it happened 200 yards ahead i may have been stuck in the middle lane of the road. ford fixed the problem but i am afraid that an inexperienced driver could have had a fatal accident. this is too dangerous an occurrence not to have a recall. *tr
I am filing this complaint in hopes that ford will be forced to issue a recall regarding the dangerous acceleration issue the fusions are having. my car will lose power when driving. i have to press the gas pedal almost to the floor to get the car to accelerate once i have lost power and the car jerks and sputters. the issue began on june 3, 2014 and worsened today, june 4, 2014. i do not have any check engine lights or wrenches. i have only traveled back roads and have not driven the car at a high speed due to fear of having an accident. i have read multiple complaints regarding a throttle body issue. so, i am taking my car to a ford dealership on tomorrow, june 5th to have my similar issue diagnosed. i am concerned because the service advisor said that the extended warranty will only be for an update to my power train system; which is not what i read in the letter. i want to have my throttle body replaced and the power train update so to prevent any future and more dangerous failures. i am also fearful because of the 'one-time' repair ...
When our vehicle a 10'ford fusion sel sedan started this the vehicle would start to shake and die when the speed would exceed forty mph then after a couple days of not bein able to drive over forty mph the vehicle would not go at all it would start and jerk and die to the point that the vehicle could not be driven. *tr
