Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact inspected the vehicle himself and found fuel on the ground. the contact also discovered that the fuel tank was cracked and the canister purge valve failed. the contact mentioned that the fuel tank was capless. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel tank). the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 126,000.

The vehicle was in motion and check engine light came on. took to the dealership and they found a pinhole on the top of the fuel tank. there was a recall connection with a part causing the fuel tank to crack. however, i was made to pay for the repairs and ford will not reimburse me.

The throttle position sensor is showing signs of failing.

While driving, at posted speed, 40mph ....all at once, there was a complete loss of acceleration, a very rough idle to the engine and a wrench icon showed on the dash. i had to quickly pull off to the side of the road. i was able to turn the vehicle off and then when i started the vehicle again the problem seemed to reset and the wrench icon disappeared. i took the vehicle to local mechanic and their computer tools were not able to find anything wrong (codes with a diagnostic check). car seemed to run fine for approximately the next 500 miles and then, while driving on a busier road at 65 mph, the vehicle did the exact same thing, again causing me to need to avoid an accident and pull to the side of the road. i, once again, was able to reset the system by turning the vehicle off and back on. i am very concerned about the safety of this issue and feel that i am now limited only to local travel.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. while operating the vehicle, the odor of fuel was present inside and outside the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank was cracked and caused fuel to leak from the vehicle. the mechanic stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. harrison ford (820 n. main st, wellington, oh) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and did not assist. the contact was informed that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v793000 (fuel system), although the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. the failure mileage was 91,000.

Canister purge valve failure - check engine light came on while driving. error code p1450 displays now indicating there is a vacuum issue in my fuel tank we had the vehicle checked in april 2016 when the recall notice came out - the recall was closed with a computer module update to make check engine light come on if valve malfunctions - because there was no visible issue with the valve in 2016 ford will not honor the recall and fix the malfunctioning part at this time

For the last year experiencing progressively worsening drivability issues. the most concerning is steadily increasing throttle lag (time between applying more pressure to accelerator and vehicle responding), which i view as a safety issue. the vehicle does not respond appropriately when applying throttle, which may increase risk of accident b/c vehicle may not accelerate properly when needed either placing me at risk because it leaves me in the path of another vehicle or prevents my vehicle from expeditiously responding to avoid another vehicle.. secondarily vehicle now operating almost exclusively in gas power mode (worsening mpg efficiency) but also causing jerking/hesitation when transitioning between gas/ev modes. this powertrain was not designed to work in gas only but as a partnership between gas/ev, therefore in gas alone is not working properly. internet search reveals many other owners experience same problem. to dealer service x 3 - 1st 2 dealer said nothing wrong. finally given a ford service bulletin (attached) that ford is aware for at least 4 months and forbids service to the car! thus i have an unsafe vehicle that ford has no solution for repair for at least 4 months, and no indication of when this will be ...

Takata recall

I was never contacted about any recalls. my mother contacted me through email to see if i knew about the airbag recall. 2 recalls i only learned about today by checking my credit report because the agency that holds the title reported my account for non-payment. i recieved a carfax report when i purchased the vehicle august 2017 from drivetime. i was told there were no recalls on the vehicle. now, i am seeing 4 recalls, 2 of which (2014 & 2016) have appeared only now that the vehicle is being serviced. i was probably the only idiot in america that would have bought the high-mileage, over-priced vehicle in the 1st place. i was told it had been a fleet vehicle for a rental car agency. i thought i was getting a safe vehicle. but my feeling now, is that it should have never been sold. i'm not sure what to do. the vehicle may get repossessed and i am feeling cheated. i sent the car to the 1st auto body shop and they wanted $1470 for all the repairs. i called ford motor company, they told me the car could get repaired free of charge at an authorized ford ...

I been seeing that the gas in the car runs out so soon and i always wonder why , until one day i was fueling the car and i was standing next to it and i feel like something splashes my feet , so i checked under my car and there is the problem the gas tank is leaking, call the dealer to fix it and they said that i has to pay for it , l don't think is fair to pay for a manufactured issued , i did pay a lot of money for a supposed to be a good ,safe and reliable car that now has to many issues and recalls and they don't (ford),take responsibility about it. please help.

The cars p2119 and p2112 trouble lights and the wrench light keep appearing. the car suddenly loses power regardless of speed or location. my research indicates ford is aware of this problem however they only offered to fix it for 4 months. this vehicle was eligible and they will not repair it. i believe this is a huge safety issue. if my daughter had been driving she would have panicked and possibly put her life in danger

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford fusion. the contact stated that the fuel tank started to leak. the vehicle was taken to elder ford of tampa (9560 n florida ave, tampa fl 33612) where it was determined that nhtsa campaign number: 15v930000 (fuel system) no longer applied to the vehicle. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was pressure tested and found safe to drive, and also that the recall was removed. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

Throttle body was under recall and was replaced in 2016, not even a year and half later my throttle body failed again. ford wont replace it under warranty for the year and half part, ford wont use my extended vehicle warranty and i continue to have the same problem over and over.
