Engine loses engine power when driving. Pressing the accelerator pedal does nothing. Must coast or brake until the car stops.

Local Ford dealer states that there are no recalls or services outstanding for this vehicle; did not know of any reported problems like this. On may 15, 2018 wes myers at bob sight Ford in lee's summit, missouri checked two other Fusions and noted that this same problem will occur if the key is barely rotated back - not so much as to think it should turn off the engine. As such, he did not find anything �wrong� since other vehicles exhibit the same problem; replacing the ignition switch with another that has the same problem would not provide a fix. Also stated that unless the car was still under the bumper to bumper warranty, that Ford would not take any action. The vehicle leasing company (enterprise) has not issued any notices stating this is a known issue with the vehicle. Nhtsa 9/19/2016, blacklick, OH, is similar issue.

I rented this 2015 Ford Fusion se4 for 2 weeks from enterprise rental car location at 2090 n sr7, hollywood, FL 33021, ph. No. 954-964-9954. During the drive back to enterprise to return the vehicle, my knee brushed up against the fob dangling from the keyed ignition switch, the key rotated to the acc position from the run/on position and the engine stopped. I was in drive at the time, so I stopped the vehicle, placed the transmission shifter in park and restarted the engine. On arrival at enterprise while stopped in their parking lot with foot on the brake and the transmission in drive, I was able without any difficulty to turn the ignition key to accessory or off while the transmission was still in drive. I demonstrated this same procedure to the enterprise agent who stated that he would remove it from service and take it to a Ford dealer for repairs. Fl tag # dfsm59.

In new 2014 Fusion with 1500 miles, it has left me stranded three times with a dead battery. This means you have to remove the door handle to enter the car. You also cannot move the car out of the garage because the transmission is locked in park. You cannot open any door except the drivers door and you must take apart the center console to dis-engage the transmission lock. You cannot open the trunk. Had problem to the dealer 3 times with two new batteries and no solution. Dealer says there is no more than a 10 milliamp draw when the vehicle is not operating. Owner's manual states the "autolamp" system shut down all power after time period following ignition switch off is obviously not working.
I parked my 2007 Ford Fusion at my house and I was unable to remove my key from the ignition. My steering wheel would not lock. I made sure that my car was in park, and still my key would not come put of the ignition. My boyfriend disconnected the battery, and tried to turn the key backwards and this was the only way the key could come out. We replaced the ignition switch, and the ignition switch sensor and it still not working. I would like for this to be reported and I would like to know how to fix the problem.
