5 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2015

While driving at low speeds the car has on several occasions surged forward and last week after starting the car the gas pedal was unresponsive and the "wrench" warning light came on. I restarted it and it seemed to be ok but the check engine light was on. I plugged in a code reader and it gave me error codes p2104 and p2112. I can't believe this isn't part of a recall based on the number of people it is affecting.

6 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2015

I was driving on a highway and suddenly my engine "staled" and the wrench light came on. It forced me to pull over, shut the vehicle off, and restart it after about 2 minutes. This was the first incident. It did it a second time while doing 40mph, trying to make it home. This is the exact same behavior that is covered by the 2009-2013 electronic throttle body recall.

7 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2014

After I purchase my vehicle about 2 1/2 years ago I contacted my dealer multiple times in the past and I let them know it felt like my car was not accelerating properly and I was told that's just how Ford's drive. Eventually the dealer ended up having to replace the coil stating that it had been burned out in the llama problem should be fixed. Now back in August it just got completely worse. I was driving and attempted to accelerate at a green light and my car would not proceed, at that point I continued to press on the gas and eventually my car slowly picked up and begin to go now every time I accelerate my car feels as if it is stalling.

8 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2013

On an interstate merge ramp, the Fusion suddenly lost power and felt like it would stall. Wrench light came on and engine surged with acceleration, but never got over 40 mph. When I took my foot off the gas pedal, it felt like the car would stall; it lurched and managed to keep going very slowly. I feared for my safety on this very busy interstate. The car lurched and surged until I could get to a safe stopping point.
