Evap fuel vapor canister purge valve assembly failed. dealer charging $314.00 and said ford does not cover this part under warranty. this is an emission component with many comments about known failure.
I have a 2012 ford focus and as you know a 2016 fusion as well . shortly after i purchased my focus i received a recall for the purge valve a couple weeks ago my check engin light came on and now it's doing the same dying at stop lights and even on more then one occasion either dying while driving or one last night doing 75 mph on freeway in the fast lane with no shoulder and heavy traffic i called ford coprportat and they said there were no realls for this vehicle, i just passed 60,000 miles and not my warranty is up.
While driving down the freeway at 70 mph all of a sudden had a loss of throttle service wrench light, airbag light, see owners manual lit up happened in an area where there was nowhere to pull off the freeway very unsafe heard of a recall that had happened for a throttle body issue that i never received notice for car mileage currently around 60, 500 miles ford fusion se have a known issue with this among other ford products is it going to take someone to get killed in order for a recall to be reordered talk to the dealer and they are not willing to help me told me that i have to pay for all of the stuff out of pocket. this has happened about four times so far and i am currently not driving the vehicle as i feel unsafe in that vehicle
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fusion. while driving approximately 25 mph, the contact heard a strange grinding sound coming from the rear driver's side of the vehicle. also, an abnormal burning odor entered the cabin. the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to imperial ford (8 uxbridge rd, mendon, ma 01756, 508-473-2800) where it was diagnosed that the solenoid and purge control failed. the vehicle was currently being repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 74,000.
My car will shut down and lose all power without notice when i'm at highway speeds. a comment comes on the dash that says something like " transmission is not in gear" or something like that. i'm not sure of the exact words because whenever it does it i'm looking to get to the far right lane so i can come to a complete stop on the side of the highway to come to a stop, put the car in park, turn it off then turn it back on. it's so dangerous to have the car lose all power going 70 mph. i really think something needs to be done on this before someone gets killed. this has happened probably 5 different times in the past few months. i don't have the exact dates when it's happened but the last time it did i was traveling in kansas city and thought i was going to cause a large accident trying to get my car over to the shoulder without power.
Takata recall, loud humming/ vibration noise appears to be coming from underneath rear of vehicle. first started while driving on the street, pulled over to check and it was when the engine would not turn back on, engine light turned on, after this the key fob push to start has not been working and every time you pump gas the engine has problems turning on, only turns on after pressing the gas.
I'm losing has very fast
On going! dealership here in florida states okay? stearing is a problematic , electrical systems need to be checked, turning needs to checked. they have my car listed as a hybrid? it is not. multiple complaints
All off a sudden, it will take off then. i have to stop and reset all the safety issues
When filling gas tank it seems to have air in the tank. sometimes after filling the car won't start for a couple minutes and when it does, it sputters like it will cut off, but after you get it running it's okay. also, you can never get the same full tank distance, it will vary each fill up with the same fuel economy with each fill up.
I found a fuel leak on my 2016 ford fusion titanium ecoboost. about 5 months ago when i first notice the problem, a smell of fuel on the left rear passenger side door and as you go further to the rear,the smell of fuel gets stronger, i went to the ground to check for any sign of leaks but i never found any, except for the strong scent of fuel. i thought it was just a fuel thats coming from the fuel refill cap and didnt pay much attention to it. not until after coming back from work,about 5 months later and went to tend for my vehicle that were parked in our drive way for 5 months, as i sat down on the driver seat and start the engine, i notice the gas on the tank, it was 1/4 left but prior from leaving the vehicle at the drive way, i refuel it and left it with a full tank, so i went around my vehicle to investigate the under carriage of the car and ended up seeing a stain of fuel leak on the ground and as i went deep down under the vehicle were the tank is located, i start to see a trace of fuel dripping down from the gas tank and to the tank shield or tank cover?! i cant named the plate that holds the fuel tank and as i trace it further to the gas tank i saw were the leak is coming from and its coming from were the refill tube was installed..! i start to check the web for any clues on what could cause it from getting a crack on the tank and found that ford fusions had recalls for the same car, same brand, same year but different manufactured month date but same on the manufactured year wich is 2015 and still ford motor company denies a factory deffect and wont grant me a recall that were made at the same year, brand,model but different manufactured month.. i hope that someone could adress this issue and get the problem fixed specially when a problem involves a fuel, it is very serious not only for safety of the motorist but to endanger our ecosystem as well...
I have received a settlement form as well as for this lease fusion and my first one as well. i it not acting correct! gas smell , sterrng, horn weak, took to dealership at woodbridge with my friend while i am not in fla . for the short while the previous car red 2015 was replaced at purvis ford in fredricksburg, va. when i was here last time in 2015. it was ready to blow!
Car dies while driving on city street or exiting freeway. cause unknown. driving the ford fusion titanium on city streets results in the car dying while in motion as the speed slows, for instance to make a right or left turn onto another street. when the car dies i have been able to coast to the side of the road, a parking lot, or left turn lane where i have to completely turn off the vehicle and try restarting. just prior to the car dying a vibrating or revving noise can be heard from the driver's side rear passenger door/gas tank door area. this seems to occur at 55 mph or lower, and especially while decelerating at turns, red lights, or exiting a freeway. i have managed to get out of the way of other cars but this is a very dangerous situation. the occurrence was about once every 4 months until lately the frequency increased to monthly. i have not driven the car since this occurrence on 11/4/2018 as this is too dangerous. the gas tank revving noise serves as about a 3 second warning, which allowed me to take evasive actions. i'm taking it to a ford dealership.
Car repeatedly dies after driving about 4-10 miles after first starting. has died on me while at busy intersection (middle of it!) and has died by train tracks! also died while merging onto interstate, has also died while driving on interstate. happens while in motion. ford says its purge valve system ($700) same issue with recall on 2012-2018 ford focus, but ford will not pay for this dangerous problem that has happened to many ford owners!
Car will sound like someone is reeving their engine behind me but its the car. then car will shut down as i am driving down the road. everything still works but can not get the car to move. try to hit the gas pedal and nothing happens. went to advanced auto and they said it was code p1450 the guy explained it to me as the fuel vapor canisters the purge valves does not operate properly resulting in abnormal pressure changes in the fuel tank.
Takata recall. car loses acceleration when going uphill. speed drops down to 20 mph. put new fuel pump in and the problem cannot be figured out. when trying to start the car it takes several attempts especially after getting gas.
After pumping gas my vehicle would not start. after waiting and trying for 10 minutes the vehicle started. about two weeks later while driving a loud noise was coming from the left side of my vehicle after pulling over i realized it was coming from my gas tank took it back to the dealership they said that they have never heard that before but they knew how to stop the noise. while driving and at a stop light my vehicle just shut off with no vehicles behind me, ii put it in neutral and it went in reverse and i was able to pull my vehicle closer to the curb. couple days later my check engine light came on and the code was for a canister purge valve. i see ford had a recall in 2015 for the same problem with the previous models. this is a safety concern and i am very disappointed because i just purchased my vehicle on march 31, 2016 and the dealership i purchased it from was not helpful and ford did nothing.
My car would stall right after i get gas! then after that the check engine light came on and the car is idling down. took it to to be placed on a machine and it's reading a purge valve malfunctioning. this should not be happening to a barely 2 year old car. the car was parked at the gas pump.
The car will stall when coming to a stop and only at low speeds when coming to a stop. never while driving the fuel filler flapper will vibrate making a what sounds like a growl. try to restart it will run fruff and die. after you wait about 5-10 minutes it will restart and run fine for hundreds of miles and when you least expect it will do the same thing again,. it has been doing this same thing now for at ;east 6 to 8 thousand miles. it will not do it for the ford dealer.
While driving at a steady 45 mph on a city street my ford fusion lost engine power. the tachometer dropped to less than 500rpm, the check engine warning light and the have dealer service vehicle light came on. pumping the gas pedal did not have any effect on rpms. i was able to coast to a safe area. i turned off the engine and when i restarted the engine it was still idling under 500rpm and the gas pedal had no effect on engine speed. after the 3rd restart, i could get enough engine speed to return to my hotel but it ran very rough with the check engine light on. i took the car to a carmax dealer in henderson, nv. i purchased it from a different dealer in roseville, ca. they sent it to a ford dealer in henderson. the dealer replace the throttle body - attaching the repair invoice. i have noticed that this seems to be a common complaint online and that ford somehow stopped north carolina from forcing them to issue a recall for this. if this had happened on the freeway in heavy traffic, there would have been one heck of an accident as the car rapidly slowed down without warning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fusion. while driving 35 mph, the engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the contact also heard an abnormal noise coming from the fuel tank. the contact stated that she had to restart the vehicle approximately four times in order for the vehicle to work properly. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer (eufaula ford, 590 selmon rd, eufaula, ok 74432, (918)-689-7767) for diagnostic testing, but no results were found. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 76,394.
I was driving slowly up a small slight hill, made a right turn, then another quick right turn to drive straight into a parking spot located in a condo parking lot and took my foot off the gas to put it on the brake. i was probably going 2 to 3 mph. a person could have outwalked the car. suddenly the car seemed to have a mind of its own and lurched forward. i pressed down harder on the brake, but it didn't stop. in addition to going forward, the car also went on a slight angle to the right. at some point i must have put the car into park, because when i went to back up after hitting a fire hydrant, the car was in park. the fire hydrant was located in a plant area lower than the parking spot surrounded by a curb. i am unsure if i accidentally put my foot back on the gas, but it seems to me that is very unlikely. i have been driving for over 40 years and the motion from the gas to the brake is a habit. i have researched the web and there are reports from others that ford fusions have lunged forward when taking their foot off the gas and putting on the brake. i was the only person in the car and the only one involved in the accident and i was not injured. there were no witnesses.
After putting my car in reverse i put it in drive and it hesitates for about 4 minutes before moving into drive. this happens no matter what i am driving on.....
We've been experiencing the swishing movement of the the gas in the gas tank when braking, going over a rugged surface & going over speed bumps or potholes. some times there is a strong smell of gas from inside the car to the point where we have to put the windows down. we've taken the car to 2 separate ford services & neither has been able to remedy the issue. we've been told that the sound is coming from our rear brakes to being told that there was water in the spare tire compartment. the issue has been constant still so there's no way could it be caused by those. we've complained about the issue several different times at the 1st location and once at the 2nd location, we've went on test drives & all the technicians have heard & felt the noise, but both location said that there was nothing they could do about it & whenever i'll pick the car back up they'll say that they are not able to duplicate the issues. our miles has now been going down way faster than usual as well & our average mpg has been dropping significantly since this first started to occur. we also have been needing to fill up the tank about 3-4 time a week now compared to just once because the gas just has been dropping so fast & inaccurate readings on the miles we've driven. the swishing around can be heard very loudly & felt more in night time driving & especially when braking in traffic & approaching a stop light/sign. there are times after parking, shutting off ignition & exiting the car that there's smell of gas heavy to the rear of the car & i've also observed the smell coming from the openings of the rear wheels. i'm afraid in the event of a rear/side collision that the chance of an explosion is much higher. this issue has been since september of 2017 & on numerous occasions told a ford service person about it to no avail. i've called ford to complain in dec & feb & only said to take elsewhere.
My car had been vibrating pretty bad for a while, but i live on a dirt road and know that mud can cause this, so i chalked it up to that and was getting the under carriage washed and noticing that this did not help. 2 days ago i was driving on a city street and the orange "wrench" light appeared with the words "see manual." i ran a vehicle health report as i was driving and couldn't read my manual at that moment. the vehicle health report said that everything but my oil life was "uncertain." i stopped by my home to have someone come with me to give me a ride, and when i restarted the car, the wrench light was still on. i took it in to my local dealership (i bought the car from this dealership and every oil change has been done there) that night and was told the next day that there was a code given off that signaled "low fuel pressure" and upon further investigation, the mechanics found that my gas line was faulty and literally "fell apart." i'm writing this just in case any other owners of this car have had this happen to them.
For the second time my ford fusion'a electronic throttle body malfunctioned while in traffic. the car will not accelerate or maintain speed. during both occurrences the sudden loss of engine power nearly caused me to be struck by other vehicles. the most recent occurrence happened while in busy interstate highway traffic. this issue is well documented and well known of by ford and the nhtsa. the first time this happened the dealer would only reprogram the ecu despite me asking them about the etb. the car is extremely unsafe to drive and should be recalled immediately. the nhtsa and ford are failing to meet their obligation to consumer safety by pushing this issue aside.
While traveling on business my 2016 ford fusion fleet vehicle suddenly lost power to the accelerator and began vibrating. the gas pedal could be pressed but had no affect as if it had been disconnected and an orange wrench appeared stating see manual. i was traveling approximately 70 miles an hour at the time (cruise control was set and had been at this speed for some time, no recent acceleration had occurred). when it happened i was in the middle of a highway construction zone with no shoulder. i went to tap the brake to see if it was still functioning and when i reached for it with my foot it was already partially depressed and when i tapped it the car felt like the brakes had locked or were for some reason extremely sensitive causing me to rapidly decelerate almost causing an accident since people were traveling behind me. after that happened i decided i had no other option and moved off to the right between the cones and brought the vehicle to a complete stop. when i was at a complete stop the vibrating intensified briefly before i was able to shut the car off. i waited 5 or 10 seconds and turned the car back on and it seemed to work fine. i completed the remaining 60-70 miles of my drive and have made a few 50-100 mile trips since without it occurring again so i thought it was a fluke thing until i got an email from the fleet company stating this is a known issue, i am scheduled to bring the car in for repair now. the incident occurred at approximately 12,000 miles.
While driving my 2016 ford fusion with approx 10,000 miles on the interstate i lost power , i had to coast the car to the side of the highway narrowly avoiding an accident. i restarted the car and exited the freeway, about 3 or 4 miles later it re-occurred.wrench light and engine light illuminated. fords health check app reported 'urgent service required'. i had the car towed to the dealer.
Throttle body failed and had to be replaced only after 13,500 miles, purchased this vehicle as brand new and is only 9 months old. the vehicle died multiple times on the highway and could have got me in a serious wreck. the ford tech said they are replacing hundreds of these yet i was never notified of it being a possible issue that i could have been seriously hurt.
Car started stalling randomly while coming to a stop in city traffic. car has now escalated to stalling while driving on highway, sudden power loss, including power brakes and steering.
Rented a ford fusion with 3000 miles. during highway driving it lost power and stopped. after a minute, we restarted it without problem. drove it to a nearby ford dealer who checked the code which indicated the problem was defective electronics that controlled the throttle. apparently the engine was getting too much air and not enough gas causing it to shut down. perhaps this was a problem specific to this car, perhaps not. because of the potential for serious consequences of a car stopping unexpectadly on a highway we thought we should report it. we did notify the rental company (budget in milwauke wi) of the problem. the employee said he had heard of this problem before. it was not clear to us if he meant on cars in general or on this type of car.
On (3) separate occasions now my car has stalled out while driving on a street and given me the "wrench" check owners manual alert on the display. as i do all i can to get out of the line of traffic and off the the side of the road, the car sputters, shakes and stalls out. turn off the key, wait a few seconds, open and close the door (so all electronics are off) and sometimes the check engine light comes on when it starts and it runs fine. some times, it starts and shakes and sputters and stalls. on all occasions, i have eventually been able to get it to "limp" home. the last time (3rd time) i called ford roadside assistance and had it towed to the dealer. the shop told me this is the 5th or 6th 2016 ford car (fusion, fiesta or focus) this month with the same issue. 2nd fusion and the one prior to mine had 400 miles on it! thinks it's either the throttle body or the throttle body positioning sensor. has thrown codes p2111 and p2112. (one means flap is open, one means flap is closed) it's been 3 days and i have just been told i'm looking at another 6 at a minimum. (this is not the shop's fault in my opinion as they have been nothing but nice and considerate to me) don't know what the deal is but someone is going to get seriously hurt.
Car hesitates when accelerating from coast, generally in the 40-50 mph range, but at other times as well. this issue has caused near-accidents in heavy traffic when one expects the vehicle to accelerate but instead feels as if it's about to stall. this is especially dangerous when entering and exiting freeways when predictable acceleration is needed.
The subject car of this report is an enterprise rental car rented in peoria, illinois. on thursday, may 5, 2016, my wife and i were traveling eastbound on i74 at milepost 166 in indiana. i was in the passing lane at 75 mph, closely followed by a tractor-trailer semi, and we were passing two other tractor-trailer semis in the adjacent lane. other cars were in the vicinity. suddenly i noticed that the accelerator pedal had become unresponsive and the car was slowing down. on the instrument panel there was a warning light in the shape of a wrench. my vehicle was slowing down rapidly and the adjacent vehicles had no idea what was happening. horns were blowing; lights were flashing; and there was absolutely nothing i could do except to try to safely get out of everyone's way. thankfully, i was successful and i was able to move my car to the shoulder of the highway. the reason for this report is that if i and the surrounding drivers had been less capable and less attentive in this event, there could easily have been a huge crash and at least two fatalities, and no one would have known the actual reason for the event. this was an extremely hazardous situation. i was eventually able to nurse the car to the ford dealer in harrison, ohio (cronin ford inc) where the car was left for repair. enterprise provided a replacement vehicle to us and we continued our trip. later in the trip, i stopped again at cronin ford to learn what problem had been found. their diagnosis led to replacement of the engine throttle body (part number ds7z 9e926 d). a copy of their work order is attached.
Last week my car engine would shut off without warning when i was at a stop light and idle about to turn onto road. this happened twice so i took my car where i purchased at ryan ford sealy and they had it 4/6-12/2016. they couldn't find anything because no codes or light came up. ran vehicle health check and nothing. acted fine yesterday. today going right under 30 mpg and at the stop sign it shook bad and lights came on. engine stayed on but could not move. waited 15 minutes and limped to my house and had tow truck take it back to ryan ford. determined and replaced throttle body.
Inserting key into ignition fuel pump would kick on occasionally, the doors wouldn't always unlock upon shutting car off, dash and radio delayed coming on at times upon starting, unlocking doors with key fob there would be static coming from back speakers, keyless entry would unlock but not always relock, a few times the key wouldn't start car there would be no reaction at turning over, dash would light up at times when no key was in ignition and car locked, heater would blow hot air then turn to cold as if a/c was on, one day battery was dead and had to jump it nothing was left on and car was locked.
As skimming through other complaints, i see i wasn't the only one with a bad throttle body issue ! my infant was in the car with me and luckily my boyfriend was in front of me! it died 3 times on the highway before we got to the next town to his work - luckily he also had the infant car seat ! i had to have it towed and borrow his 2010 fusion for 2 days until my car was fixed. another annoying issue is whenever my ipone has an update i have to take it to the dealership to have sync reinstalled ! i bought the car because of the sync (upgraded from a g6 with no extra options). i travel 30,000+ miles a year and expect a new car to work - if i wanted a terrible car i would have gotten another gm vehicle...
