42 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2018

Takata recall I was driving and the car began to slow down rapidly. I was unable to control where I was going and unable to accelerate or decelerate. I have no control over the vehicle when this happens. It is not an all the time problem, but does happen very often. The check engine light comes on when it happens and the car accelerates briefly before instantly shutting off. The wrench symbol also comes on before this all takes place. I could be using cruise control or just normal driving and it happens in both situations. The vehicle tends to do it no matter where you are such as a high way or on a regular city street. I have had the vehicle checked out numerous (six) times to see why it does this. The mechanic hooks it up to the computer every time and states there is nothing wrong but then resets the symbol lights so they go out. The car will be fine for a week or so and then do it again! it is scary when it happens and I try not to drive the car due to this issue. How can you fix something the mechanics state is not broken? something isnt right with the vehicle and something needs to be investigated to see why it does this! it can not only be my car!.

Takata recall, Ford most recently recalled the airbags in my car, however just like my previous recall there is no parts available, they say the car is safe to drive but I don't want to risk my safety as well as the others in my car if it is not. Previously my car was stuck at the Ford dealership for over 8 months due to a fuel system recall, and they refused to buy back the car but did significant damage to the paint, and interior of the car when they had it. I have pictures from those damages that never got repair by Ford or the dealer all they agreed to do was replace the battery in the car.

Failure Date: 10/05/2017

Vehicle was brought in for purge valve recall (the valve was merely inspected but not replaced). Afterwards the check engine light kept coming on intermittently. Bumps in the highway would cause the check engine light to go on or off. When I attempted to sell the vehicle it would not pass inspection. According to the Ford dealer, this same purge valve involved in the original recall became stuck open. Ford was not willing to fix the problematic purge valve free of charge.

53 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2017

It has been discovered that in many if not all fmc 4 door sedan hybrids with the 2. 5 liter engine and nickle metal hydride batteries, oem software starts to drastically reduce electric vehicle operation sometime after the hybrid warranty expires. The effect of this is the car's acceleration and fuel efficiency is drastically reduced and automatic periodic battery re-conditioning ceases. The car essentially ceases to function as a hybrid and the engine runs all the time except when at a standstill. Up to 70,000 vehicles may be affected. It has been found that this id controlled by a battery age feature in the software. Resetting this age to any lower value restores completely normal hybrid behavior and performance. Fmc has refused to do this instead quoting battery replacement for $8,000 as the solution. D. O. E. Tests many years ago showed robust performance of the battery out to 160,000 miles in accelerated testing. The fix is a ten minute software battery age change that fmc refuses to do. The reduced acceleration is a safety issue as the atkinson cycle engine was not designed to be unassisted by the battery and has very slow power acceleration without it.

Failure Date: 09/27/2017

Takata recalls - I was driving and my car sensor came on saying power steering assist fault. I didn't think nothing of it. So the next day taking my daughter to school and my steering wheel would turn at all. I had to get towing services. I call Ford about it they told me in customer no parts available at this time. The company is in bankrupt . They don't know when to get it in. When they do they will notify me.

55 Other Fuel System problem

56 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2017

The hybrid completely shut down at approximately 65 mp on the interstate. It was like turning off the key. A red triangle light said good luck "stop the car". This is within 100 miles having paid 1200 to a Ford dealer to replace throttle body and cooling pump that wasn't one of the 1. 6 million Ford had to extend warranties. Shame on nhsta for not making them recall everything.

57 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2017

The throttle actuator sticks closed causing the vehicle to go much slower than expected and this occurs at unexpected times. The condition creates potentially hazardous conditions for the driver and vehicle occupants. Numerous people are reporting the same issue in online vehicle forums. Engine code produced by the vehicle computer is p2112.

58 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2017

While driving on the highway my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid suddenly lost power and quickly decelerated from 65 mph to less than 20mph. I took it to the dealer who said that the throttle body needed to be replaced. This is the same issue on the non-hybrid Ford Fusion for which Ford has issued an extended warranty under customer satisfaction program 13n03 however Ford has excluded hybrids and manual transmissions that have the same throttle body part.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. When the contact purchased the vehicle, he was informed of NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v593000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 16v384000 (air bags). The dealer (sheehy Ford of marlow heights, 5000 auth rd, suitland, MD 20746, (800) 640-5368) was contacted to determine when the vehicle may be scheduled for the repairs. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Engine went to limp mode.

61 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2017

In lower gears / below 3500 rpm, I will occasionally experience a sudden deceleration, and then an abrupt acceleration as the vehicle attempts to make it to the commanded speed. This only occurs when the vehicle is already in motion, most often city streets, occasionally while accelerating onto a highway. I believe this creates a potentially dangerous situation, as a driver may not have the full, consistent acceleration that he expects to have. This issue began shortly after receiving "check fuel filter" codes, due to a poorly designed inner gas cap gasket, which allows for contamination to obstruct the easy fill system's inner seal. I believe this may also be related to an issue with a throttle body controller, similar to the many Ford products and customers whom have submitted prior complaints. Not sure why those throttle body controllers didn't get a recall, the problem is common enough and the potential damage substantial.

Failure Date: 06/26/2017

Driving locally, wrench and engine lights came on suddenly. When I got short ways to store, turned engine off and restarted, lights gone - thought it was a fluke. Proceed to drive home to contact Ford, both lights come on again, car begins declerating with no warning, no action on accelerator, car slows (I didn't know this was called limping) and I pulled of highway and get to parking lot. Car towed to Ford dealer. I had no clue what problem was replaced electronic throttle body car is 7 years old, only 43,700 miles. Afraid to drive car as this can happen again - what if I'm in heavy traffic at high speeds. Can't believe Ford was able to avoid a recall --- this is a very dangerous problem!!!!.

Tamara recall! my cars engine light keeps coming on and the machine says it's a evap leak through the fuel neck. And there is two recalls on my car.

64 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2017

When accelerating into traffic the engine shuts off leaving me crossed opposed traffic. Will usually start right away after. Car has to be in park to restart. On occasion the security light flashes and will not restart without locking and unlocking the car. Performing this action while blocking traffic (in both directions) can't be safe in any way. The car also dies at speed even when the cruise has been set for over a hour. Help please. Thanks shawn mcginnis.

65 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2017

While driving, the throttle body valve malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to rapidly lose power and go into an engine "safe mode. " the check engine light appeared on the dash. I was luckily able to pull over to the side of the road. Restarting the vehicle cleared the error, but the issue continued to recur until I was able to get home. Luckily the sudden loss of power did not cause an incident, but as it occurred on the highway, a sudden drop in speed could have posed a safety risk, especially if it had occurred in inclement weather. There was a recall for the specific part that failed, but due to my model being a hybrid, it was not included even though it contained the exact faulty component. Speaking with Ford customer care confirmed this to be the case that my specific car was not included in the recall. I was able to order the replacement part myself and perform the repair. The error message that was thrown in the car's obd system was: p2112 "throttle actuator control system - stuck closed" the code was not saved in the module so it could only be read at the time the issue was actively occurring before the vehicle was turned off.

66 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2017

My car has a capless fuel system but my check engine light keeps illuminating after I fuel up and stays on. I have had the code that appears tested and always comes back as a "missing or loose gas cap " which clearly is immpossible since it does not require one, when I called my Ford dealership they informed me that they are aware of a problem with it but would cost $700-1000 to fix the issue and Ford will not issue a recall. It's alarming that my check engine light stays on for a silly problem and have no way of telling if something else is going on with the cr since the light is always on. I should not have to pay up to $1,000 for a Ford faulty system.

69 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2017

I noticed today there is a Ford recall for 2012 through 2018 Ford focus for a faulty part that could lead to engine stalls. The recall states a malfunctioning valve that could result in inaccurate fuel level readings and potentially engine stalls or an inability to restart the vehicle. This is exactly what I have been experiencing in my 2010 Ford Fusion. While I am driving and start to slow down at a stop sign or to turn the corner the engine stalls and jerks and then it goes away until the next time I slow down or turn. I believe this to be the same situation as the current recall for the Ford focus.

I have called the dealer 2 xs now and neither time have they had the part that needs to be fixed from the recall. I also just found out that there is a 2nd recall on my vehicle. I would like a new vehicle- a trade in ASAP. As one of these can result in death and my children are at risk.
