1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2020

My vehicle check engine light came on , scanned it and the code generated was p1450 which is the unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum. This has had a affect on my car while driving it has stalled at high speeds on the highway, and has stalled at lower speeds as well and making a turn . It makes a loud vacuum noise and you can hear the whining or whistling of the pump or hose near the fuel tank under the driver door and under the hood . I looked up similar info on the Ford recall site and seen this recall # 18s32 . So I called my local dealership service department and the informed me that it don't cover my Ford vehicle , but there's a recall for this , so I'm not understanding why it don't apply to my vehicle.

Was driving down interstate and steering quit. Was going straight and managed to continue. Checked and found there were recalls but Ford dealer said it didn't cover my vehicle. Paid $1200. 00 to repair and still have a hard clunk when I steer left or right. Currently driving and heard noise from fuel tank and determined a canister purge valve malfunction. Saw there may be a recall but also haven't found it for my car. Can you update me on possible recalls if any apply?.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2019

After driving my vehicle and I got out, I smelled gasoline. I looked under the car and all around the engine compartment and could not see any leaks. I used a flashlight and a mirror but did not remove any panels. I thought maybe it was just fumes, but the gasoline smell was just as strong after I drove the car the next time. I took it to the dealership and was told that the under body fuel lines just forward of the fuel tank were rusted through and leaking. There is a retaining clip that secures the line and that is where the line was rusted. There was never evidence of a fuel leak other than the smell, because the splash guard that goes under the fuel line was preventing the leak from making it to the ground. I could not smell the gasoline while driving, only after exiting the car.

Failure Date: 07/15/2019

After I fill the gas tank and park my car in the garage, I can smell gas. After the car has been driven a few miles the smell goes away. The smell is only present right after I fill the tank up until the fuel level drops down from full. This only started about 2 months ago but has been present every time the tank has been filled since then. There was a recall for this problem (13s04) so I called my local Ford dealer to try to get it fixed under the recall. The dealer told me that my VIN number is not included in the recall. I am pretty sure this is the same issue that the recall was created to fix so I think that Ford should re-look at what cars they are willing to repair. It seems to me that they easily could have overlooked some cars that had that problem.

Smell of gasoline, both when in motion and stationary. Gets worse when fill the tank with gas. The smell improves when I set the cabin air to recycle.

Tamara recall my Ford Fusion make a �frat� noise/sound that comes from the gas tank. When the noise starts the engine will narely idle and sometimes dies. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is being driven down the road or just sitting idling. One time I was pulling out from a stop sign when this noise started and the car died with oncoming traffic coming right at me. Other times it's just an annoyance an the engine runs fine. When I googled it I've noticed that several other Ford Fusions with the turbo engine have the same issue. This has been happening off and on again for a year and a half now. I have a link to a youtube video of another Ford Fusion with the turbo engine doing the same thing mine does. Thank you for looking into this issue! https://youtu. Be/ag4ssmgfsgg.

Bad management valve part #dg9z90279d needs to be replaced. Told it was on back order for the next 2-3 months. Over 750 pending orders. This is a known problem with some vehicles being recalled for repair. This vehicle isn't on the recall list but in my opinion should be because of the safety concerns this has the potential for. This faulty valve is cause pressure to build up in the fuel tank that could possible cause an explosion or fire. Waiting 2-3 months is not acceptable. Also, no warning to myself was provided from the 2 dealerships that diagnosed my vehicle and that I talked to to get this part. I only found out by doing extensive research. Problem still isn't fixed, waiting on parts.

I bought a 2013 Fusion used last year I have had the car die going 70mph on the freeway several times and I have had the door fly open goinv 70 mph on the freeway and then wont close . Last week my car wouldnt go under 80 mph white smoke barreling from the exaust with two days previous a low coolant warning coolant was added . Car smelt like diesel fuel burning . Went thru a tank of gas in 30 min and the car now sits at Ford since the 5th of August waiting for tech to look at it. I already know its is a situation that Ford needs to recall after reading all these complaint. I could have died and my kids im so upset.

I went to a gas in town and filled up my car and only got 223 to a full tank and then it slowly creeped up as I was driving in town to 289. But I normally get 330-350 to a full tank. But when I first got it and the dealership filled it up, I got over 400 to a full tank.

On local road, vehichle hesitates when I step on the gas. When I get to a stop light it shudders then stalls. This occurs frequently for the past two weeks as of this entry date. My vehicle has under 53k miles and the dealer says the part and fix is not under warranty. Its called a lo pressure gas sensor I believe. If its attached to the gas tank then how could it not be under warranty with under 60k miles standard coverage. Is this standard for all dealerships with warranty coverage or lack there of for this part.

11 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2016

The fuel purge valve is stuck in the open position as diagnosed by my research and later confirmed by the dealership. Upon doing research, this model of purge valve was installed in all 2009+ Ford vehicles and a recall was issued for 2009-2011 vehicles, yet it is still being used in the newer models and failing. I am being charged $565 by the dealership to fix a problem that Ford has not taken responsibility for. Fusion model year 2013, approx. 50k miles, air purging from the fuel tank (out of 'capless' opening), car shudders regularly and more so when I first put gas in it. Has been happening for about 2 months; check engine light finally came on yesterday.

15 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

16 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2013

I have a 2013 titanium and according to the manual it has a 16. 5 gal tank. The distance to empty display stated 3 miles to empty so I refueled. I was only able to get in 12. 779 gal into the tank when it clicked off. After refueling, the fuel gauge is always below the full line. Several individuals have posted the same problem and have had their fuel tanks replaced of which corrected this issue.

17 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2013

Like many other 2013 Fusion owners, I also have an issue when refueling. The best example thus far was purposely running down to three miles to empty before refueling. I was able to pump only 12. 861 gallons into the 16. 5 gallon tank - this included three top-off clicks of the pump. I had the car at the dealership to check this issue out. The service adviser told me he contacted Ford engineering regarding the concern. Ford replied that they knew there was an issue and were working on a solution at that time. Whether or not this is true, I do not know - the dealer may have just wanted to pacify me for the time being. I have read that others were told by dealerships that the tank does fill, but that Ford set the fuel gauge to allow for a reserve after zero miles to empty. If this is true, there is a 22% reserve allowance in my case noted above. I consider this a safety issue as the consumer must know, with reasonable accuracy, the fuel level of their vehicle so they do not run out of fuel on busy or remote roads Ford needs to respond to dealers/customers to explain the issue, and what is going to be done to resolve it.

18 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2013

My 2013 Fusion s should have a 16. 5 gal tank, but when I got the low fuel level light on today, I can only put 12. 5 gal into the tank before the first kick-off. The tank can not by fully filled!.

19 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2013

The Ford Fusion fuel tank in my 2. 0 ecoboost engine does not fill all the way. It is documented as a 16. 5 gallon tank, however even running to empty I am only able to fill 12-13 gallons. To me, it is unacceptable to have a 3-4 gallon "reserve". I am not sure if it's the tank itself, or if it's faulty hardware causing vapor to be trapped and the system thinking it's full when it is in fact not. This may not be a safety issue, but is an issue if you are thinking you have more gas than you actually do.

20 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2012

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed and would provide erroneous fuel level readings. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was full, the fuel level gauge would only register fourteen of the sixteen gallons of fuel that was added to the vehicle. When the fuel tank was filled to maximum capacity, the fuel gauge would only register the tank as being half full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was told that they could not diagnose a failure. The failure mileage was 10 and the current mileage was 1,000.
